What problems were you having with overheating other than the system getting hot? Last night I noticed the smell of either burning dust or burning plastic from my exhaust area on my X60 Tablet. Additionally, as of recently, I only get mono sound from the built-in headset jack (only the one on the dock works correctly), and the speakers on the dock don't work at all, including in the BIOS.
I'm thinking it's time for service after this semester is over. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of francesco tartaglia Sent: Monday, June 08, 2009 06:28 To: Thinkpad Users Group Subject: Re: [Thinkpad] overheating x61 hi thank to all for your answers with an help of my friend I have added heatsink "paste" and removed the dust near the fan.
