    Hi All-
    I have an old X20. I have it about 5 years. Here is some issue that im having rite now w/ my x20. I feel sometimes it gets really hot. Especially where the harddrive is, and the keyboard. And also, the battery life isn't that long...its about less an hour. For battery issue, is my battery too old? And dose anybody also have heating problem? It gets hot about like 2 hours...

    If you have had it for five years and have not replaced the battery, I'd say you are overdue. Typically, batteries are only warranted for a year. You could download Notebook Hardware Control. It will tell you the wear level on your battery. As for the heat issue, are the fans still working properly? HD Tune is a good free hard drive utility. You could run that and see if you are having issues. Making sure yu have a good backup might not be a bad idea. Good Luck.
