If the current LED control is behaving in a weird way on your machine, please do not do the tests, and let me know about the problem ASAP. Anyway, if you are careful, the chances of the tests doing any sort of damage or causing any sort of problems are very low. But they are NOT inexistent, and I have to come forward and make it very clear. I really don't want anyone claiming I have misled them into doing something. I don't know if this will help you decide, but I can truthfully say that I would do all those tests in any X-series I owned without any fear, the only reason I don't do so is that I own just a simple (and now a bit old) T43 :-( However, I'd suggest you make sure you're using the latest BIOS first, just to make sure you're running what Lenovo considers to be their current best firmware. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
