Thanks for confirming that.

Hello All,
Does anyone know off hand which SSD will work/fit the 6th Gen X1C? I'm looking to buy a 1tb samsung SSD.
Thanks

Old thread but I just re-applied the thermal paste and cleaned the machine - there was a lot of dust. It now runs very cool. I can again watch 1080p full movies with no shut down.

I'm concerned that my X301's fan is about to fail as it is making some strange noises. If I swap the hard drive into another X301 I have will it work?
I will repair the primary X301 but in the short term will this solution work?
thanks

If you have a product key there are many places you can down load it from. That's what I did and installed via usb - very quick.

It's running as smooth and cool as can be!

Did you find much dust in the fan? Or dust in general?

Although the RAM probably does run hot my view is the problem is related more to dust and thermal paste. I have had this machine since new for nearly 4 years. And only recently has it began to get very hot. In fact it will now shut down after 30 mins of watching a HD youtube video. I'm just wonderin...

With these sort of things it's this thread that sums up my fears http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=115095.

Just saw that video. That is a lot of work. Is it all necessary for removing the fan and applying the thermal paste? I guess I will have to put aside half a day to do this.

I had already bought the paste but was hoping that there would be one of those video guides which I find very helpful. Anyway I shall look at the links provided.
Many Thanks

I have the same x301 as you and mine has recently begun to get very hot. when I monitored the temps it was always around 55 degrees.

Is there any guide for renewing the thermal paste?

just get a computer off ebay and transfer the screens. i just got a second hand x301 for £124 delivered. the new screens go for £600.

I was looking for another one of these machines and managed to get this one - quite a deal I'm sure you would agree!! Just got it and it looks in very good nick. Tiny crack near rear RJ socket. But I'm a sucker for things in their original box.

Do you have just an SD card reader or a Micro SD card reader? I tried two 64gb Micro SD cards and it would not work - in fact the system just didn't boot. I now use two 32gb micro SD cards and I can access the memory, however it still stalls on boot about one in three times. I did consider getting t...

Have you actually tried using 128gb in the Micro SD card reader? I found it didn't work and speaking to the seller of the reader the max it can read is 64gb (2 x 32gb).

Thanks for that. I saw them for sale. Iniitally I thought you had to buy the whole Palm Rest which was proving harder to find. Let's hope it arrives soon and is easily replaced.

Hi All,
My left Touch Pad button is only working if I press it really hard. Has anybody come across this before? I took the palm rest off and blew compressed air through it but it's still the same. Do the buttons disemble easily? I will be keeping an eye out for a new palm rest.
Kind Regards

Hi All, I've been having real trouble with this card - the connection will drop after about 2 minutes. I then have to turn the card on and off to get another 2 mins. I cannot locate the correct driver for windows 7, I actually think it doesn't exist. Can people tell me what other cards they are usin...

Let windows take care of it. I assume you can turn on the WWAN card. Then go to the icon in the lower right corner it will display the network your sim card logs onto. Enter the APN, username and password and off you go - not sure if windows did this automatically.

What's the advantage of using an msata ssd over the regular ones?

Hi All, Cannot seem to get this card to operate correctly. If there is anybody using this card in their x301 can they point me to the driver they are using. I can connect to the net for about 30secs then it disconnects saying no signal strength. Windows is saying I have the wrong driver for the vers...

I went back and checked my notes the three I had written down:- 1. Power management driver 2. System interface driver 3. Hotkey utility You don't need AC to run the WWAN card as I run it without that - however it doesn't seem to work as well as it did when I had AC but that may just be down to somet...

I'm pretty sure it was Power Manager that you needed as I had the same issues on my x301 with getting the fn keys to work - you have got the Hotkeys program? and Hotkeys are enabled?

If you want fn+f5 to work you need to install Power Manager.

I had an X301 for a while, but was shocked by how poor the screen was. I guess it must be either my expectation level or not using my laptop for high end visual purposes but I have never had a problem with the screen on my X301. Aesthetically and functionally it is still the best laptop for my purp...

I would not use the Caddy if you are expecting to get fast speeds out of it - I believe it is restricted to USB speeds so not very fast. I got a 256gb Samsung drive and plenty of RAM my view is that there is not much in it between the various SSD's the jump you see is from using an SSD over an HDD. ...

I use the Samsung RAM too and it's working for me. The one's I use are the 1333Mhz but if I remember correctly it will only run at 1066Mhz. Now the only thing I am considering is whether to create a RAM disk? Does anybody have experience of them? - I tend to have atleast 4gb of RAM free.

is the internet not heavily censored there in iran by the dictator..? Don't believe everything you read.

As the CPU cannot be changed it is sensible to buy the most powerful one possible. One annoying issue I have run into is that drivers don't get updated for the X301. So when I upgraded the SSD I decided to download a copy of windows 7 from MS and then install it via a USB and then download all the d...
