X220 successor?

When will there be a refresh of the x220-model? Usually there is a refresh about once a year i guess
Most important question: Do we have the chance to get back the 1440x900 panels in the X-series? I have a x200s to replace, but I won't go for a lower resolution since it would mean making a step backwards. Why were these panels stopped in the first place?

Touchpad doesn't matter to me, in fact I've had it disabled since day one. But on a few occasions I've had people use my laptop, and I turned on the touchpad, and they were less than impressed. I just told them to click with the above buttons which are meant for the trackpoint.
The trackpoint is great for use while typing, however it still has the problem of feedback calibration, i.e. if I keep moving the cursor towards one direction for a while, the cursor would move backwards for a while upon releasing the trackpoint. This is annoying. Moreover, it's not agile at all compared against the touchpad.

  • X 61 upgrade to SSD & compatibility with later x220 models?

    Dear all,
    I am intending to upgrad my X61 with an SSD.
    Unfortunately, I am not really familiar with the related technical issues, and would
    be glad if some could share their experiences/recommend me a disc.
    I have seen that there are already some related forum entries, but they date back
    quite some time - so there might have been some developments since.
    Furthermore, if possible, I would like to use this SSD in about a year or so for the new
    X220 (or it's successor model). Is there anyway that I can ensure compatiblity - I mean
    in terms of size?
    Any help, hint, recommendation would be very much welcome.
    Many thanks in advance.
    best
    z

    You can update. We have a number of third party SSD's (Crucial, Samsung, Transcend, Intel), with Yosemite installed. Without Trim, of course.
    Disable Filevault, Backup, Backup Data and check applications for compatibility beforehand (http://roaringapps.com/)
    Check that you have sufficient RAM - min 4GB, then update

  • Fan Error on x220

    Hi everyone,
    I have a (now) 2 year old Thinkpad X220 with Intel i7 processor (CTO 4286) with no warranty (only got the 1 year limited warranty, as I assumed this was a premium laptop).
    Sadly enough a month ago the fan stopped working, and I get a "fan error" message on boot-up. This as, in effect, turned my +1200 dollar laopt quite useless.
    What I have tried to fix it so far is the following (in this order)
    1. Blown out dust from the fan area
    2. vacuum cleaned fan area
    3. Dissambled unit, vacuum cleaned fan unit
    4. Applied small bit of oil to fan unit mechanism
    5. Reapplied thermal paste to cooling unit
    6. REPLACED fan unit and thermal paste
    However, the message is still there and my laptop (which cost me an arm and a leg, as I was planning to use this laptop for 5 years - just like my x41 before it) .. is still dead.
    Does anyone else had this problem (especially those that did not have the warranty anymore), and does anyone else has any other suggestion? Would much appreciate it, as I need this laptop and cannot afford a new one..

    "fan error" does not mean "too hot"; it means "running too slow". You probably need need a new fan. (The only other things involved are the fan sensor and a fuse (both part of the motherboard). They are unlikely causes and expensive to fix.

  • X220 Tablet: Stylus does not work in Windows 8.1

    EDIT: In perhaps the most embarrassing moment to have asked for help in my entire life, I restarted my computer and everything works fine now.  I must not have restarted after one of the drivers was installed for some reason.  This topic can be locked.
    Original Post:
    Hello,
    I am a digital artist so I rely on the hardiness of my X220's pen/stylus/digitizer for a lot of my laptop use.  This fall my laptop had a virus that required it to be reset to factory settings, and so I decided it would be a good time to upgrade to Windows 8.1 (from Windows 7) before installing any programs.  I now have Windows 8.1 and it is working fine; however, my pen is not being detected by my system.  My fingers are being detected on the touchscreen, so I know the touch screen works.  I did not try my pen since resetting to factory settings, so I do not know whether it worked before I upgraded to Windows 8.1.  I would assume the issue is a missing driver, but I could not find the right driver on Lenovo's website and the digitizer update utility produces an error when I click "Update."  I was wondering if anybody had an idea for what I could do.  I would assume I am not the first person to try updating to Windows 8.1 on an X220, nor the first to reset an X220 to factory settings.  However, a brief search of Lenovo's support forums and of the internet has shown no solutions to my particular problem.
    Here are drivers I am using that strike me as relevent, as well as their version and date.  Maybe that will help with a solution.  I'm sure the solution is an easy one.
    HID-compliant digitizer (6.3.96... 6/21/2006, up-to-date)
    HID-compliant pen (6.3.96... 6/21/2006, up-to-date)
    Wacom Device (3.1.0.5 4/11/2014, up-to-date)

    HID-compliant Mouse (3.1.0.5 4/11/2014, up-to-date)

  • After creating successor to a custom IDOC?

    Hello
    We have a custom IDOC type (for sales orders) in the system. Now business want to pass additional data, as per this requirement am trying to add a new custom segment to this custom IDOC, but am getting the below error,
    ZORDR03 has already been released, only display possible
    Message no. E0639
    Diagnosis
    ZORDR03 has already been released. This means that the basic type or extension is locked
    against changes and can only be displayed.
    Procedure
    You can create a successor based on ZORDR03.
    I guess, i can not do CANCEL RELEASE from Memu-->Edit! because this custom IDOC is created in older versions, like 46C, currently we are on ECC6.0, hence i need to create a successor, but pls. let me now
    1) Do I need to change all the config settings like in WE72, WE82, WE20 O/B Prtaner profiles of EDP13?
    2) In what/where else i need to change or replace old ZORDR03  with newley creating ZORDR04?
    Thank you

    You need to be patient - this is not a Helpdesk where you've raised a high priority ticket...
    I'll just say that when we upgraded to ERP6.0, I did not agree with the fact that we could not cancel release on our custom IDOCs and we did not want to create a new version (it's been too long - I don't remember the technical reason for the issue with the new version).  We reset the release in the definition table and made the required changes.  There were no issues with the change.  If you want o go with the 'standard' appraoch, create a new version...

  • X220 Tablet and Windows 8.1 - Limited Touch drops with Intel HD 3000 is installed?

    I have installed Windows 8.1 Professional on on a Lenovo X220 Tablet and everything seems to have installed correctly, although my system, which supported limited touch with 2 touch points in Windows 7, only has Pen Support in 8.1.
    I have been able to get the system to be recognized as "Pen and Limited Touch Support with 2 Touch Points" but only if I disable/unintall the Intel HD 3000 driver, and use Microsoft Basic Display Adapter instead.  The problem is that the resolution isn't as crisp.  
    Any recommendations as to what I can do to get the limted touch to be recognized with the Intel HD 3000 driver?  This one is baffling.  
    Any help would be appreciated. 
    The X220 Tablet's type is 4296-2WU
    Also, the Intel HD Graphics 3000 driver is the latest version compatible with 8.1 64bit - 9.17.10.3517.
    Update: I have also tried the previous Intel driver release, 9.17.10.3347, as well as the recommend Intel driver from the support page 9.17.10.2843 and non of them allow my screen to do Limited Touch Support with 2 Touch Points.  Yet, if I disable the Intel driver, and restart, I can.  

    Troy,
    Thanks for sharing your expeirences and the details of the driver version.
    Officially, I don't think Lenovo provided full support for Win 8 on the X220, but as you note it (and the upgrade to 8.1) can work with some limitations.   I'll check with one of our software engineers to see if he may have some suggestions on this one.
    I expect you will probably draw some responses from the community as the X220 was a very popular system with a good following.
    Best regards,
    Mark

  • X220 sound crakling or completely not working

    Hi guys,
    I have a 3 months old X220 i5 sandybridge with Intel Wireless running windows XP sp3. The Conexant 20672 built-in soundcard had some problems already from the start with a it sometimes going silent all of a sudden or crackling. I updated to the latest Lenovo driver but that didn;t sort out the issue. I've got the impression it might be related to Wireless internet activity but I could be wrong -just seems that youtube normally performs much worse than e.g. media players of local files, although sound crackling can still occur even when not streaming. Do I have a hardware issue here? Is there any good way of finding out., Has anyone else experienced similar problems with the Conexant audio card?
    thanks,
    John

    hey Dr_John,
    could you uninstall the current audio drivers for your X220, let windows install its generic audio drivers.
    once generic drivers are installed; test the audio quality by playing a local audio file and then stream audio via youtube.
    is there any difference ?
    with that done, head over to http://support.lenovo.com ; download the latest audio driver for your unit and install it.
    again, test the audio quality.

  • X220 complete fan failure

    I've had my X220 for about a year now. At first, I didn't experience any problems with the fan, no revving up/down like some describe, and it was pretty quiet.
    After about 9 months of usage, the fan started to get pretty noisy. As I also usually have a room fan always on, I didn't care much because the room fan overpowered the laptop fan.
    Then, at about 10 months ago, one fine day CoreTemp pops up a message that my CPU temp is critical, I was just watching a movie with no background stuff going on. I've checked TPFanControl and the fan wasn't running. It was also not responding to TPFanControl's smart or manual modes.
    I turned off the laptop, removed the keyboard and powered it on again. The fan would spin a few revs at pretty low speed, then just stop. I allowed the system to boot like that, and tried to start the fan with TPFanControl's manual mode. When I switched the fan from speed 0 to any other speed, I could see the fan blades to move just a little bit (maybe 1mm) and then stop again.
    The laptop is on warranty, but I bought it in USA, and I live in Thailand now. Also this is my primary work computer and I didn't want any unnecessary downtime, so I decided to fix it myself.
    I wrote quite a lot, those not interested in the disassembly story, just skip the next paragraph.
    Well, luckily I decided not to sell my old Z61m, I booted it up to view the X220 Hardware Maintenance Manual: http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mob​iles_pdf/x220_x220i_hmm_0a60739_06.pdf
    Using an old laptop, which one year ago didn't feel slow, after being accustomed to the new one, was really sluggish. Part of the reason might be that I recently installed Windows 7 on it (it's got 4Gb RAM in it, of which the chipset can only use 3Gb). By the way, one time I had my Z61m's fan become really noisy, too (but never fail completely), I did disassemble, clean and oil the fan - and getting to the fan was much easier than on X220.
    On X220 to get to the underside of the fan, you have to remove the motherboard, the heatsink assembly is screwed to the motherboard from it's underside. That's wasn't hard for me, but I could easily see messing up some small component. To remove the motherboard, I had to remove the HDD, speakers, bluetooth module, WiFi module, mSATA SSD, disconnect a few flat-ribbon connectors, unclip a few regular connectors, free the wifi antenna cables, video cable from their grooves in the bezel, remove the bezel. And then the motherboad still wouldn't come off - the two nuts holding the VGA connector have to be removed. And when I moved to Thailand, I didn't bring my 5mm hex socket with me. So I had to drive around (I live in a small city), trying to find it. Tool shops, hardware shops, computer shops didn't have it! Well, a tool shop had a huge kit of 1/4" DR tools, I wasn't gonna spend so much money just to get one 5mm socket. In the end I could find a low quality 1/4" DR sockets set in a Tesco supermarket, for $2. But  what do you know? The cheap sockets have thick walls, so the wall thickness doesn't allow it to fit around the nut (the laptop's case is in the way). Too bad I don't have a lathe... well here comes the drill to hold the socket and the angle grinder. Finally I was able to unscrew the nuts and take out the motherboard.
    To get out the audio connector from it's hole in the case, I have to flex the motherboard quite a lot, I know it's fiberglass and strong, but it does feel quite scary (the narrowest part of the mainboard is just maybe an inch wide).
    I then tilted the motherboard up disconnected the power cable (it's a bit tricky, but I think it's the most efficient way - some say to remove the LCD to do that! that's totally unnecessary), took the motherboard out and unscrewed the heatsink/fan assembly.
    The fan would turn by hand or by blowing air into it, but wouldn't keep rotating as soon as I stop blowing. The blades are fortunately removable (just grab them and pull), I cleaned them and the insides with some methyl alcohol, let it dry, then put some TriFlow teflon oil in there and put the blades back on. I then put everything back together, and it worked fine. Assembly, as usual, is the reverse of disassembly. The fan works, and is pretty quiet again (I'd say about the same as it was new).
    The fan is sleeve bearing. I think it's not a good practice to put sleeve bearing fans into laptops. When a ball bearing fan fails, it just rotates at reduced speed, with plenty of noise and vibration. Giving a lot of warning time that it should be replaced. A sleeve bearing fan can just stop turning completely, not making any noise to indicate failure. It's very fortunate that CPUs (and some other hardware) have automatic overheat protection (thermal throttling). I suppose Lenovo just had some temporary problem sourcing the necessary qty of ball bearing fans when they were producing X220, so they just put in an alternative they could find. I don't think they did this just to save $1 per laptop. In any case, my advices for X220 owners is, if your fan has become noisier than before, open it up and clean/oil it, better now than later. I would only advise this job to people who have straight hands growing from the right place, not from their ass (that's a saying we have in Russia). There is nothing really difficult about this job (first time will take 2-3 hours, with experience you can do the whole job in under 1 hour), but you have to be careful. There are a lot of small parts that can be dropped or damaged by static electricity. There are many screws of different sizes that can be mixed up (my advise is to use a small container with multiple compartments, and put the screws into different compartments, along with a piece of paper saying where does this group of screws go. Have to be very careful disconnecting the connectors, especially the flat ribbon type. No sharp or metal tools should be used for this task! Use only fingernails or something plastic. Also use care to properly align the flat ribbon cables when connecting (locking) them. It's good to take pictures of the whole process, especially things like cable routing. You'll thank yourself for this when putting it back together. The hardware maintenance manual is also pretty useful (might be not so easy to find the right info, though, have to read carefully). Print it or use another computer or a mobile device to access it when doing the job. As noted, you will need a 5mm thin-wall socket (any good quality 1/4" DR socket will be thin wall, while cheap nasty stuff will be thick wall) to unscrew the VGA connector. The nuts are not tight from the factory (at least mine were not), so you might be able to use another tool, but I think even the smallest needle-nose pliers won't fit there, there's really too little room between the nuts and the case. A sturdy tweezers with round ends (or cut off ends) might do the job, but I'm a believer in using a proper tool for a job, at least when talking about a $1000 computer (this is not very Russian of me, where a common tool for automotive repair is often a hammer and a block of wood; a saying goes: if you fail - use a bigger hammer). Obviously you also need a small-size electronics screwdriver.
    A thing I had a problem with: the heatsink contacts both CPU and the chipset (which is common in notebooks), there was thermal compound on the CPU and a thermal pad on the chipset (I would say 0.5mm thick). Unfortunately I tore up the pad when removing the heatsink. If you're careful, usually you can reuse the pad. The pad is there for the reason that the CPU and the chipset surfaces are not on the same plane, so if assembled with just a super-thin layer of thermal compound (like you're supposed to for optimal heat conduction), the chipset wouldn't touch the heatsink and would overheat. Since I didn't have a spare thermal pad on hand, I used a thick layer of thermal compound (I used Arctic Silver 5, which is pretty thick consistency and not very likely to flow out of there) on the chipset. I also ordered some thermal pads on eBay, to have it just in case.
    I haven't noticed any significant decrease in temperatures with the new thermal compound, even after 200 engine hours the AS5 needs for optimal performance. It might be cooler by a couple of degrees, but not by much.
    I'm sorry I deleted the pics I took during disassembly.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    A .5mm layer of thermal paste will not do a very good job of heat conduction. There will be air bubbles. No matter how well you spread out the thermal paste on the CPU die, you will never get the kind of even, thin layer that you get with a new fan, which comes with lots of little dots. BTW, very small needle-nosed pliers work fine to start the VGA nuts. The first time I take a particular model apart, I tape the screws near the place the will go back using "painter's masking tape", which leaves no adhesive residue.

  • X220 - problem with SmartAudio echo reduction

    I sometimes use my computer to watch TV shows and skype at the same time with friends that live abroad (i.e. we watch the same TV show and discuss it over skype). I have never had any problems with my previous laptops doing that as long as I used a headset and not speakers which create a lot of echo.
    However the SmartAudio software installed on my X220 creates some problem with that, depending on the settings I choose in the SmartAudio voice effects preferences which can be accessed using the "advanced audio settings" link in the lenovo web conferencing application.
    If I choose the Voice Recording profile then for some reason my friends get an echo of my video's audio, even though I am using a heaset, which does not make sense as the microphone cannot "hear" the video's audio.
    If I choose the Voice Over IP profile then there is no echo, however there seems to be some noise reduction applied to the video's audio as any background noise is heavily muted unless there is someone speaking in the video.
    Thanks in advance for any advice on how to get a clear audio with no noise reduction yet no echo for my friends.

    hey evalf,
    could you try uninstalling and then go to our support site via http://support.lenovo.com ; download the latest audio driver and reinstall.
    see if that works.

  • Resolution to x220 failing to sleep

    For many months I was having a problem where my laptop would not sleep properly.  About 1 out of every 5 times that I slept the computer it would appear off with the screen blanked and keyboard unresponsive, but the fan would come on and the unit would get very hot.  This was very annoying because I'd have no other choice but to do a hard power reset on the device, and occasionally I'd put the laptop into my bag without noticing the problem.  Then I'd later find either a laptop completely drained of battery, or an extremely hot laptop in my bag.
    This problem was occurring on both my wife's and my laptops (both x220 units), so it was not an isolated issue.  I suspect however this was caused in part because I had enabled UEFI boot on both systems.
    I recently discovered through much trial and error that disabling the "ThinkPad PM Service" resolves the problem.  Unfortunately this seems to remove the ability to turn off the WiFi/Bluetooth/WWAN via Fn+F5, but I view that as an acceptable tradeoff for myself.
    A diagnostic note in case anyone at Lenovo wants to look into this: Prior to discovering that disabling this service solved the problem, I attached a kernel debugger to see what the system state looked like during one of these sleep failures.  I was surprised to find that all of my processes which were running before the initiation of the sleep transition were still running, so I suspect the failure happens early in the sleep process shortly after the screen and keyboard are turned off. 
    Also, the WiFi and Bluetooth lights retain their state, and the disk light still blinks on occasionally whenever some program initiates disk access.

    Hello,
    Maybe there is some information stored by the operating system that might be of use.
    If you open an elevated Command Prompt (filename: CMD.EXE) and issue "powercfg -lastwake" and "powercfg -waketimer" commands, do they display any useful information about what the latest event was that woke the X220 up, and what events might cause the X220 to wake up?

    Hi,
    According to your description, Windows 8 Operating System installed on your computer, right?
    Did you update to Windows 8.1 via Windows Store?
    If yes, follow Cyber_Defend_Team's suggestion, check if your computer meet the prerequisite.
    After that, try to install Windows 8.1 for test.
    If the issue persists, according to this blog to troubleshoot:
    Something happened and the install of Windows 8.1 can't be completed. (And now you're annoyed)

  • Windows 2003 x64 on a X220?

    Just wondering if anybody has tried to install Windows 2k3 x64 on a X220.
    It's still my favorite OS of all time, and I'd love to have that option if at all possible.
    I've never tried 2008 server, if the Win7 drivers cross over (like XPx64 and 2003x64) it might be something that's more likely to happen.

    Hello,
    Unless you find Windows XP 64 Bit Edition device drivers for the X220, it is likely many of the ThinkPad specific features will not work, or only provide basic functionality.  You can always disable the Desktop Composition and Themes services to give the operating system a more Classic Windows feel.

  • Windows 7 installation problems Thinkpad X220 (4291-4BG)

    Hello
    I just bought a new laptop a Lenovo ThinkPad x220 (4291-4BG). I want to do a clean windows install on it. I have downloaded the windows 7 professional ISO from MSDN. For installation i do as fallows.

    Solved!

    Magnus, welcome to the forum,
    acording to the MTM your system has an i-7 CPU, it should therefore have USB 3.0. Please try installing the system and ensure you only use the USB 2.0 ports.
    Hope this helps
