Re: Where to post regarding ThinkPad Yoga S1?

Really? On Lenovo's website, it shows 2 different Yogas... the ThinkPad branded Yoga (which I am getting), and the IdeaPad branded Yoga. Both are in separate sections.

Where to post regarding ThinkPad Yoga S1?

Just curious as I don't see a Yoga specific section! But anyways, after a LONG time of research and hands on use of multiple laptops and ultrabooks, I finally ordered one. Ended up getting the ThinkPad Yoga S1 from TigerDirect for a pretty good price. Fits my needs perfectly! I had initially wanted ...

Re: Lenovo G585 ***REVIEW*** E2-1800/HD7340/4GB-DDR3/320GB/

I just bought a Lenovo G580 recently. I've only had it for about a week. VERY nice laptop for the money (Newegg for $499.99, regularly $550). It's the newest G580 model with the 2.6GHz (3.2 Turbo) 3230m Core i5, 4GB of RAM (Upgraded it to 8 right off the bat) and a 500GB HD. Since I don't do any gam...

Re: Wanted - LCD ribbon for ThinkPad 380Z

Last bump! If I can't find one, I'll go ahead and list it on eBay as a parts machine. It seems I can't find one anywhere, which probably means that it's a common issue.

380Z not working with Dock?

A few days ago, I bought a dock off eBay. It was listed as 100% working, along with an AC Adapter. I got it today, and hooked it all up and docked the ThinkPad and hit the switch..... ....Nothing on the monitor. The computer itself turns on, but that's it. If I undock it and hook the monitor and AC ...

Re: Wanted - LCD ribbon for ThinkPad 380Z

Sadly, I don't think neither will. I know the 390 is different, and I'm pretty sure that the 380 is different. I did a bit of research and it looks like it's a 380Z specific thing.

Wanted - LCD ribbon for ThinkPad 380Z

Looking for a good LCD ribbon for my 380Z. Mine split in half where it goes into the computer from the LCD, and I assume this common. I tried googling it, but got the typical "swelled head recycler" prices. Looking to buy or trade.

FRU is 05K2765

Thanks!

Hey guys, I have a HP Laptop I got for free. Problem is, the GPU is coming unsoldered from the motherboard. If you press where the heatsink is under the keyboard for the GPU, it stops showing artifacts on the screen. Is there a reputable company I can send the motherboard to for them to reball the G...

Re: IBM PS/1 Desktop Computer - $30 plus shipping

It will probably be quite a bit. I tried shipping a Mac G3 tower to England before, and the cost was around $120. Needless to say the person dropped out of the deal. So yeah, I wouldn't feel comfortable shipping it outside of the US.

Re: My A31 (7 - 800x600 Pics)

I hate the Windows keys on laptops. I have a bad habit of hitting them by accident on my Compaq laptop. This is why a Mac is my main desktop PC. :lol: I would have a Mac laptop, but they are simply too expensive for even a 5 year old one.... so I chose the best laptop, the ThinkPad.
