The unit in question is a T43 2687-D4U with the x300 video processor, running XP, 1 gb RAM, 15" Flexview screen
About two weeks ago, the screen went dark. I fussed with it and it came back on (fussing=Fn F4)and it came back on for about 10 minutes, successive efforts over the next hour or so yielded steadily declining intervals of "screen on". I am in southern China with a IWS warranty, brought it to Lenovo (they have a repair center here, I have used them before with some success). They have now had it 11 days, have made several repairs (I THINK the inverter and the backlight, can't be sure as they did not give me the part number and the translation doesn't work out too well). It now seems that they haven't a clue what to do. My options: 1) Let them continue to learn as they go 2) But a cheap external monitor (the external monitor access does work) 3) Pack it up and take it to Hong Kong (2 hours) and rely on their abilities 4) Continue using the borrowed x60 and wait till I get back to the US in five weeks. Any ideas what might be ailing my computer -- Stuart Friedman In Guangzhou, China _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
