I am glad it works fine. I am liking Windows 10 a lot.

My x201 processor is Intel Core i7 (M620) @ 2.67 Ghz with 8 GB in RAM. System Type: (64 bits)

and the installed Windows 10 version is Windows 10 Pro version 1511.

I am writing this post for those of you owning a ThinkPad x201 since I couldn't find a similar post anywhere, confirming a successful installation of Windows 10 on a X201. X201 is not in the windows 10 Lenovo supported system list as per the day of this post. The list is here Lenovo supported system...

I just want to post this to make it useful for any other having the same problem. Problem: My X201 suddenly stop playing any sound at all via the hardware speakers. Sound via the headset was working. OS: Windows 7 Professional - 64 bits. Making sure hardware was OK: To make sure there were no hardwa...

I just installed via ThinkVantage System Update the Intel HD Graphics Driver for W7 (64bit) version 8.15.10.2253 and problem seem to be solved. I will keep posting if behavior occurs again.

Same problem here. I started to notice it just today. I am sure it was working two days ago. Last thing I installed was the ThinkPad Hotkey Features integration package setup version 3.30. It is happening after turning on the laptop from sleep state. So far I don't have more info (due to lack of tim...

Bad news. Behavior still happening.

Also since I bought my self a new laptop to replace my x100e I won't be able to keep posting on this topic, unless my new machine experiences the same behavior.

Foodog: Thank you very much for your post. I have tried in the past what you have mentioned with no real changes. Only thing that has really worked out is unvervolting. However probably not enough for what I am expecting. Thank you very much again for taking the time to write your suggestions.

1- You admitted in your last post that you wanted a discount on an x120e. If that's the real reason for you "threatening" to tattle to a government agency then I think you are being very naive. Why? Let's move to Fact 2. Please read again. I didn't want a discount. I made suggestions of different c...

I would worry. There should be no sound when opening or closing the lid. Warranty is on. I would use it.

You've not by any chance installed IE9 have you? That's when my problems with this started originally... Nope. I am trying to recall what software installation might trigger the behavior. But I don't have any idea. In the last few days I am not experience the behavior. I remember I just installed a...

steveg47 and howto: Hey, great to know your thoughts about it. Don't worry about any drawbacks for now. By saying that I learned my lesson I wasn't saying that I am not going to complain. :D :wink: What I wanted to point out is that I wasn't smart enough to get the real picture of quite a few review...

Uhmm. interesting suggestion. But I believe there is no much of an effect.

As a matter of fact I have been in the USA -Florida- (sea level) for the last 2 weeks and the uncomfortable feeling is just the same and high temperatures of the bottom of the case remains the same or perhaps a bit worst.

Thank you very much for your input and point of view.

As you can tell I was very naive with the x100e. I learned my lesson then.

I have questions (at the bottom of my post) for the x100e owners that are experiencing overheating problems with their machines. I have seen the OVERHEAT of the X100e problem reported in forums and reviews but not one comment from Lenovo addressing the problem. Neither a Bios update nor a recall wit...

Owning a x100e double core my self, I wouldn't buy one again not even at $289. Actually you will end up spending $30 or $40 more for more memory (1GB is not enough -just my opinion-). The overheat problem is #1 problem for me. Then the battery life. I would rather wait to see if the x120e solves bot...

larango, If the answer to the first question is no how can you answer the second question with a no? Seems to me that "unknown" would have been a better answer, or have I missed something here? Sorry I wasn't clear enough. I wanted to say No from my side. I haven't changed the heatpads of CPU and G...

For the first questions... No.

Check

http://www.lenovoservicetraining.com

Got to Notebooks -> Thinkpad -> X series -> X100e
There you can select videos or documentation. Videos are very useful to understand how to disassembly the X100e.

Just for future reference regarding heat in my X100e, I used a infrared thermometer (a consumer one, not a professional one) to measure the external temperature of the bottom of my laptop and from its side vent. I started by running common office apps during 10 minutes resting the X100e on a wood de...

Here is a tip about heat I recently discovered. Go into the Lenovo Battery/Power Manager by clicking on the battery life icon on the windows task-bar. Click on the Advanced Settings drop down menu and make sure that Active Cooling is enabled for both Battery and when Plugged In. This setting solved...

There is an option in PowerPlay (Catalyst Control Center) called Vari-Bright. Unchecking this option may resolve the "Brightness control increasing by itself" issue you have encountered.. Thanks for the tip. I tried it out and seemed to work for a few days, but suddenly the bright-up behavior start...

Hi. I had an issue with the Caps Lock being always on the screen when it was ON. That was something I didn't want to see. Looking for a solution I found that this is a default behavior by design (Lenovo's Hotkeys Features Integration). It is mentioned by Lenovo in the the following link where it tel...

Fiirst of all use the correct sw to check the cpu temps. Eg speedfan. Most sw can provide wrong values. Then update your catalyst drivers to the 10.10 version (not to the 9.6 provided by lenovo updater) and your flash player pulgin and/or activex, you will find that even watching a 1080 video will ...

It is interesting to see that when my X100e is connected to the power outlet, suddenly the screen brightness starts increasing by itself. It is like someone -not me- is pressing the bright-up key one step at a time every 2 or 3 minutes until the bar gets to 15. I haven't spent time trying to underst...

I should reinstall everything from zero (fresh install) using Rescue and Recovery Software Make a backup of your data and Restart and press F11 to invoke the Rescue and Recovery Software. or Restart and press enter. It will show you a list of options, select then F11 for Rescue and Recovery Restore ...

Before I sell this X100e on ebay, I thought I'd try and restore the system to its original state - how it came out of the box - and start again (or reformat and put on XP Pro), but I can't find anyway to do this (no Thinkpad Button, and the info says nothing about how to do this!). Restart and pres...

Out of curiosity, what are you running? . First of all, thank you both for your kind and prompt comments. I am running Windows 7 (32 bits). Heat occurs using any application (e.g.:Msft office apps). Forget about a resource intensive application (Video playback or editing), with them the heat is ove...

In July 2010 I bought a X100e (AMD Turion - Neo X2 Dual Core L625. 1.6Ghz. With 4GB of RAM and 320 GB of Hard Drive). I am replacing a very good and loyal T42P. I was looking for a smaller machine and longer battery life. :idea: HEAT :( :roll: To my surprise my X100e gets extremely hot every time I ...

Hi all. Be aware that there is a new Bios Update.
