RE: [Thinkpad] Sticky goo...

Try a wee bit of Benzine (obtainable in hardware stores) on a soft cloth.
Experiment first on an unexposed area of the plastic. This is the fluid dry
cleaners use, highly flamable. Works for me on most sticker removal
cleanups.

Subject: [Thinkpad] Sticky goo...

I got my new X24 in today... Whee!

I thought my T23 was sweet, but this thing is a jewel...

On all of my laptops I remove the Windows and Intel stickers from the
palmrest... On my T23 they just popped right off because (I think) the
plastic there is very hard... But on my X24 the palmrest is a
rubbery-feeling plastic (which I like better) and they didn't pop off
cleanly, so now I have a big pile of goo there...

I used some tape to get most of it off, but some is left... I know
butane or acetone will remove it, but I don't want to burn a hole in the
palmrest... Any ideas?

Also, I can't seem to update the embedded controller... I got the BIOS
up to 1.32 but the embedded controller is stuck at 1.25 when it should
be 1.30...

I run the updater and it shuts down like it is supposed to do, but it
never changes anything...

Finally, I expected the SpeedStep to operate at 733MHz, but I get
300/600/1133MHz (According to dmesg) when I set it to slow/medium/fast
in the BIOS... Any thoughts about that?
