Red dot on back
Red dot on back
Hi, I have noticed today, that my red dot on ThinkPad logo shines very week. Only during restart its light is strong. Afert that it is so poor, that I can see it only in very dark room. What is the reason? Is it possible some aplication can affect on diode strenght?

Re: Red dot on back

Good to know, my brother has a Thinkpad Edge series and thought it was a little hokey...BillMorrow wrote:i THINK there is a place to set the red dot intensity or turn it off entirely..

Re: Red dot on back
To be honest, I never even thought about it. My tablet is either docked, in my hand or in the folio. I hardly ever look at the back of it.
