Immortals don't have weaknesses with regards to their longevity; they can't, that's the whole point of having an infinite lifespan...nothing can end their life, not even anything they do to themselves. It's something that probably can't be accomplished by human means.

An indefinite lifespan simply means being immune to the effects of aging; an ageless being is what you commonly see mythical characters presented as...a vampire is ageless assuming they suck blood; they still have other weaknesses that could kill him. This is something that, as before, human beings have a better shot of accomplishing whether through biological means (genetics/biotechnology, such as the SENS foundation), non-biological following afterward (nanotechnology which would also expand life far beyond simple longevity), and perhaps ultimately mind-uploading to prevent even the proverbial truck from bringing us down.
