Okay the bios was updated to 3.21 and ecp to 1.06, for luck the battery seems to have the right security chip and is accepted by the new ecp. But as explained here is the warning from a 3.22 tester and his battery. http://thinkpad-forum.de/archive/index.php/t-152969.html The brightness bug still

I can try the cd method the next days. ThinkVantage did not work, because there is an SSD in the system and no more the original harddisk with the bios and recovery partitions. BUT the same bug occurs on my Ideapad S10-2. Set proper brightness when logged in, simply log out and log in again,

EricDHH, while we await the CD method results, I just wanted to briefly tangent regarding ThinkVantage. I've also replaced the OEM HDD drive with a SSD, and ThinkVantage didn't have any issues. Hence, could you please provide a screenshot of what error message you get when you attempt to use it?

EricDHH, just to advise, I also had problems with updating a Lenovo laptop BIOS. In that instance, with different laptop 3.17 BIOS, I couldn't update via the .exe, I could only update to the 3.18 via ThinkVantage System Update, and the CD environment allowed me to fully update to the latest

The bios can only be lifted up to 3.17, if the machine got an original Lenovo battery for 150 bucks. So i can only point that this bug did not occur under 14.04 LTS. The system was reverted to Ubuntu Mate 15.04 now and show the same behaviour, screen brightness turns to highest or lowest at boot.
