I have two ThinkPad X220's which ran FreeBSD just fine until recently one of them just switched off and would not reboot.... After looking around for a possible solution, I came up with this bad news:-

It looks as though if you have one with a serial number starting R9- you could be at risk and you are living on borrowed time.
Mine lasted a few years and worked fine without any indication that it would suddenly die. This is very disappointing for me since I've always been a big fan of ThinkPads, but recently quite a few of mine are giving up the ghost.
