    This one is for the keyboad as well, not sure what it exactly does or if it's necessary, but I installed it.:

    The Power Manager is also necessary for auto-dim and power management controls.

    The thinkpad power manager is actually a good program. The only problem I'm having with it is that I have it set to start charging when below 70% and to charge up to 100%. However, it always stops charging at 87% for some reason. I'm then forced to go back into the option and click the always full charge option.

    Anyone know why it does this?

    Hmmm... I'm not particularly sure why it does that. I have it set to automatically adjust the thresholds to extend battery life.
