Thinkpad T510 Owners lounge

Does anyone's T510 make a buzzing noise when the backlight is at less than 100% brightness? I know these laptops aren't silent, but this noise is only coming from the screen. I'm running Linux and trying to figure out if this is a bug in the backlight driver. Thanks!

pstrisik, i noticed that your shipping was originated from HongKong, why did mine come from CN...and I think your shipping really fast, mine laptop has the stats of "CARRIER AND CUSTOMS RELEASED" for almost 2 days, the gods knows what they about doing there....

I hope yours has started moving again today towards your home?

No buzz per se, just a bit of a whine noise. And it doesn't seem to vary with the backlight brightness, I tried stepping up and down from 0 to 15 and back a few times just now and noticed no change.

Hi! I'm about to buy a T510 on Lenovo's Canada website and they are asking for the following selection:

Pointing device:
- UltraNavN-FPR for Color Sensor
- UltraNav FPR, No Color Sensor [add $20.00]

I can't find infos about what exactly these mean. Does the "N" in UltraNavN-FPR means No Finger Print Reader? And what is the color sensor?

pstrisik, congratulations on the new PC. What were your specs? I ordered one on the same day 3/3 and the ship date has moved from 3/12 to 3/16. Today the estimated shipping date was blank and when I called I was told my date is now 3/18. All the CSRs say is trust me it will ship, needless to say I do not trust them. Here are my specs.

Has anybody else with similar specs had this problem?

I guess I have to eat my words. I just got the shipment confirmation 20 minutes ago . Now let's hope that UPS can get it through customs without a problem.

Flopp, I too just got a shipment confirmation. No, tracking yet though. I can't wait for this stupid thing to arrive

Oh my GOD , how did you get it shipped so fast???? I'm simultaneously very happy for you, plus very annoyed (considering how long mine took in comparison, LOL).

I dunno. I chose 2 Day shipping if that does anything.

Does that mean 2 days after it clears customs?

The impatience never ends.

Oh, if only that had been an option!
