This is a bit odd, but version IYET60WW shows a BIOS date in 12/99, but a release date of 30-Apr-2003. I have been told by others that is really is a new release. You probably should check your BIOS version against IYET60WW. > > When you say "Everything is quite ok", does that include suspend (S3)? > > I have no reports of that working on any T series ThinkPad. > > S3 works mostly fine. Cool. On every ThinkPad I know of, ACPI S3 results in two problems. The disk spin down immediately, not allowing time for cache to flush (ouch!) and the backlight on the display stays on. -- R.
