Confirmed this happens to all our Thinkpad W500s Model # 40624GU. (About a dozen of them) With all the security and theft protection off in the BIOS, laptop still uses about 4% battery when off and unplugged.

I've been w/o a BSoD for over a month. I used to get them almost daily. These are my current settings/specs: (T400 with ATI HD3400) v8.503.2.2000 8/18/2008 atidvag.dll v6.14.10.6822
PowerPlay OFF in BIOS: only Discrete is enabled

Thanks for posting this...my W500 has the same issue and I have tried the same steps as you to fix it - no luck. Looks like another Windows release that wasn't ready for
prime time. Come on Lenovo, theres no reason not to provide W500 users with a working video driver! The cheap Lenovo G550s I bought for my daughters run Windows 7 just fine but no such luck with my $2000.00 W500 - pitiful.

My W700 screen has dim bottom corners, too, but because they're far from the centre of the screen and are often masked
by the Windows taskbar, I seem to be able to live with them.

A good start would be the new ThinkVantage update tool for
Windows 7: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/documen t.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-73695 The ThinkVantage toolbox for Windows 7 x64 can be found here: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/documen t.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-73784

I am having the same problem. I have tried changing
all the power settings and turning things on/off in terms of power paradigms and nothing changes it.

ahogue,
Thanks for purchasing the W700....I do not think you will be disappointed.
To answer your question, there is a difference between the two versions of the Port Rep.
From the
product description, there is the following line:
Supports ThinkPad 170-watt and 230-watt AC adapters
This version of the Port Rep will also support the new 230-watt power supply for ...

I remember something about this from a few months ago, It might
be the
fingerprint reader software is backlevel. Run TVSU and update
that first, then udpate everything else.
