There was a best-I-can-describe-it portable heater smell emanating from the vent of my Lenovo v100 a few days ago. I’d been leaving the laptop on and leaving my glass a tad too close to the vent and caused 2 auto shutdowns due to overheating (this is from retrospect).
The most likely possibility was that perhaps some [...]
This happened to me twice. Once on my Lenovo and today again on hubby’s desktop. After booting and running the Windows start up screen, the monitor blanks out. Something about analog or digital. I just wanted to shake the monitor into waking up again.
Anyway, with the laptop it was easy since it works with an [...]
So my SD card reader on my Lenovo v100 has taken its last breath and said farewell to this cruel world. But wait! I still need to download a whole bunch of photos!
While checking the SD Memory Card Properties under Device Manager in Control Panel, here’s the crap message I get:

Today I decided to test run my new mini-mouse and work from the Lenovo. I have to say I’ve found a wealth of good and a sea of bad. I always like to give the good news first.
The good: I enabled the Aero display setting again and this time it doesn’t seem to lag the [...]
My spanking new laptop, the Lenovo 3000 V100 (okay, really need a nick for it now) comes with Vista Business. I have used it 4-5 times since I got it (still on company laptop for now) and here’s what I think so far as a new user.
