[quote="tomh009"]:( Are you getting another identical one? Or something different?[/quote] Besides the fan/temperature issue, I was not thrilled with the display. My five year old Toshiba has a brighter display than the Thinkpad I tried. I am looking at other manufacturers with brighter displays.

[quote="spurkza"]I have a T60 with the 950 integrated graphics, a 80GB 5400 rpm disk, a 15 in 1024 x 768 (4:3) screen, and a T7200 2Ghz CPU.

Lenovo replaced the system board and fan on my T60 this week, and the problem is twice as worse. 2 degree C temp increase per minute and fan on majority of time now. Since I am within the 21-day return period, I have received an RMA number to return the machine.

[quote="mrdeucie"]How exactly is everyone "turning it off?" I would rather not not rename the file. I have looked in the startup by using msconfig, but I don't see the file there. I have also looked under: administrative tools -> event logger I do not see anything to turn off in the event logger tho...

Never mind question about Task Manager. Downloaded Process Explorer from Microsoft website which provided more detail info than Task Manager.

Trying to bring up Task Manager on my T60. Am hitting CTRL-ALT-DEL like any other PC, but only brings it up for a second and then disappears from screen. Is there a special Thinkpad key sequence to bring this up or can you suggest another Task Manager tool?

Less than 10 day old Thinkpad T60, at boot up Fan Control software measures CPU temperature at 40 degrees C. 30 minutes later while only checking email and some basic web browsing of news and others sites (no software downloads, watching videos, games, etc), temperature has risen to 60 degrees C. At...

Thanks for the replies. The machine now sits at the Welcome screen for 30 seconds, which I can live with, with total boot time of appx 2min 20sec. As time permits, I'll do some more tweaking. I removed Thinkpad AccessConnections software, among others, which I was not planning on using anyway which ...

Very basic related wireless question, but not answered in the Thinkpad manuals I can find. There is a switch at the top edge of laptop screen with symbols (not the words on or off) to have or not have WIFI, but not very intuitive. Which way, left or right, do I push the switch if I want to turn WIFI...

The software was good for checking that not had a severe heating issue, however, reading elsewhere, changing the cooling outside of using BIOS or the laptop's Power Manager (Control Panel) risks your Thinkpad being toast. Sadly, this is a problem with some T60 and previous Thinkpad models. If you ha...

7. Also did a defrag of the hard disk using Diskkeeper.

This is my first Thinkpad, so any help is appreciated.

New T60 with 2GB RAM received last week. During bootup, machine sits for 50 seconds at the Welcome screen step. What else can I do to speed up this step which seems exceedingly slow? Once booted up, machine runs exceedingly fast to expectations. Here is the cleanup I have performed so far. 1. Remove...
