Make sure you disable the hdd power off in the Thinkvantage Power Manager.

Hi paradiddle,

Can you check your power options for Windows and see if it is put to "Never" for HDD.

Yes, I had already done that... I never have my harddrive set to off on my laptop is.  

I also checked, and harddrive settings are still as they should be - stop spinning after 60 min when on A/C power.

And when 'Lid is closed' the computer is scheduled to 'Do nothing' on A/C Power.

Power managers and windows updates - all up to date.

Anyone have any ideas?

New things that have developed on my computer - all build quality related -- 

1) Lock on lid clicks/doesn't unlock properly

2) Screen is starting to curve (seen from sides)

3) Keyboard rattles/doesn't stay completely down on the right side... so when tapping arrow keys it gives an annoying sound/sounds like it's broken

4) Screen has 2 bright spots
