Have a W500 running Win 7 Ultimate 64. Got a Lenovo Toolbox urgent message today. When opening, a popup appeared for a Toolbox update. Checked the urgent message first, related to a problem in discharging battery to ultra low or out, then not being able to restart the system, and referenced bios and embedded controller updates here, with system board replacement needed if their fix without the updates (removing adapter power, battery, and CMOS battery, then replacing and trying restart) doesn't work:

That finished, Toolbox reloaded, and no more urgent message. System state green, A-OK, no problems. Ran System Update, got "No packages applicable to your system were found" Rebooted, still no Lenovo Toolbox message. Ran System Update again, same result, no packages. While composing this message, ran Toolbox again, and got the original urgent message. Guess I'll go ahead and do the bios and embedded controller updates, but thought I'd pass this on and see if there are any knowledgeable responses from the list before plunging in. _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
