    ThinkPad X201 dying...?

    Recently I've been having a weird problem with my ThinkPad X201.

    I didn't buy this laptop (got it from my brother, who was upgraded two months later to an X201s by his workplace.) I couldn't ever afford this kind of laptop on my budget...

    After a varying time from 30 seconds from boot to over 5 hours my Wi-Fi will die, permanently. I cannot reconnect, it requires a reboot.

    I am using Linux (Ubuntu); it has always worked well and to my knowledge I haven't installed any updates recently (it's only started occurring over the last week or so.)

    In the dmesg log, I see "MAC is in deep sleep" when this occurs, or sometimes "No space for Tx" and "Error sending REPLY_RXON".

    Also, when I powered it up once after restarting it, it posted, but I was then presented with a black screen (not backlit.) I'm unsure if this is related.

    I'm going to be shortly reinstalling, but I have a bad feeling it's a hardware fault, and I have little claim to warranty given I got it free...
