I have added this to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/572528 The first 2 commends resulted in this : -bash: /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TM0/cooling_mode: No such file or directory It dint work for me n my U500 is still OVERHEATING
$ sudo -i # echo 0 > /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TM0/cooling_mode
# echo 0 > /proc/acpi/fan/FAN0/state
