Check your connections and cables. From the look of the thing it is designed to work from the USB port on a desktop computer, a laptop gives less power through the USB ports, this is why most USB powered devices for laptops have 2 USB plugs for connection.
thanks Michael. I will buy double usb cable asap.could it have so
Thanx Michael. will try double cable asap. could it have something to do with outdated drivers? I downloaded this "Driver Tool" software which said 5 of my drivers were out of date including cd drive. to fix these drivers they wanted me to pay $29,99 which i cannot afford. maybe i should try on linux mint side of my machine :/
If you need a good (and free) driver updating tool, try "DriverPack solution" it is downloaded by use of a Torrent client (like Bittorrent) But, the driers are unlikely to cause the problem you are asking about.

SOURCE: Spacebar on IBM Lenovo ThinkPad X61 came off.
I took mine off to clean under it and had a similar problem. After a bit of struggling I figured it out. I will try to explain it as best as I can, but forgive the non-technical language:
There are two gray plastic pieces on the space bar that must be that must be latched to the two white plastic pieces on the computer. The gray pieces pop off the space bar easily. Take them and put them on the white pieces on the computer so that the white arms lay across (and snap into) the top and bottom of the gray piece. The middle of the gray piece will sit in between the two arms that are not "holding" the gray piece. Then take the space bar and put the metal part into the hole on one side (outside of the plastic pieces) and then push it over so you can put the opposite metal part into the other side. Then push the space bar straight down and it will snap into place.
SOURCE: Lenovo ThinkPad X61 got "thermal sensing error" when it boot up
OverheatingWhen the CPU overheats then it will shut down (i.e. thermaloverload) and won't boot up again until it has cooled down. If this is theproblem is not fixed then the CPU will eventually fail.
A faulty fan causes the problem or the fan and heat sink assembly are cloggedwith dust.
Check the CPU fan to see if it spins freely, if not replace the fan.
If the fan and heat sink is clogged with dust the remove the dust and make surethe vents are clear and dust free. Use a small brush and can of compressed airto do this.
