X200/X60: battery drained even while system is "off" on some systems. investigate.
Could just be the Ethernet controller waiting for a Wake-on-LAN frame.
'ethtool -s net0 wol d' disables wake on lan until the next boot. There are a lot of ways to make it permanent: netctl. systemd, udev, cron

Sound (internal speaker) broken on T500 (works in lenovobios). external speaker/headphones work.
