    Hi folks,

    Just bought an amazing x220, but from day one there are three things that bother me:

    - wireless switch:

    Is it normal that the wireless switch that's located on the left side of the laptop is somehow a bit loose? It works fine but I have the impression that the button itself is not well tightened on the inside.

    - noise

    When working on battery power I sometimes hear a strange noise that is coming from the back of my screen. I noticed the same noise on an other Lenovo (work), my IT manager replaced it by a new one and since then, don't have it anymore.

    - pci express driver

    To clean all unnecessary software, I did a complete reinstall using my Win7 install disk + Lenovo drivers. After complete reinstall I still get 'PCI express' drivers not installed in my hardware overview.


    Does anyone has some advice?

    Thanks
