You are probably correct regarding the charging IC. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to buy another slice for the next couple of months, even a used one that are being sold on eBay. I'll start saving for another slice though. I like the longevity when it was working.

Thank you. I didn't realize that so I disassembled the battery a couple of hours ago to see if there are electrical issues inside. I verified that the connection from the battery power terminal to the laptop is live and power does get through when there is a power adapter connected. It is just that ...

It is a new genuine Lenovo battery slice with FRU P/N 42T4967. It has been close to a month since I purchased it so I don't think I can return it as the seller does not offer returns. It did work for a week. I was wondering if I can reset it somehow. If not, I'll just take it as a loss... a painful ...

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a battery slice 19+ on eBay for my X230 a couple weeks ago. When I got it, it charges fine and works fine. It extended my total run time to around 10-12 hours. Then suddenly one week later, the battery would not charge. None of the charging and battery percentage in...

Hello everyone, I saw two design for batteries for the X200 Tablet on eBay. One has the traditional OEM shape. The other one looks quite different. Does anyone have the latter? If yes, can you take a picture to show what it looks like on the tablet? Here are the two that I'm speaking of: OEM-shape h...

Thanks Commander. It seems like the GeForce 9800M GS on my old Asus G50VT is not too shabby either. The Graphics is 6.6 and the Gaming Graphics is 6.6. I was hoping for a little bit more since the spec of the 2000M is better than the older 9800M GS although the memory bus is twice as small. Quadro 2...

Thanks Mike. Seems like you've maxed out the system. I just wished I have that much money in the bank to configure one similar ;-) I noticed on your signature that you used to have a VIC-20. I used to have one too... I recalled doing some programmings on it. I would spend hours writing programs for ...

Congratulation Mike. I'm happy for you. Now I guessed you can twiddle you thumbs while waiting Have fun with your new toy when you get it, and do put the credit card away.

May I ask how much did you pay for everything?

Cheers,

Thank you for your replies. I think I will buy as much as I can afford. I just quit my job and from my new line of work, I will no longer have an income so this is probably last laptop that I will purchase from what remains of my bank account before I close it. When I say 6-8 years, I am really hopi...

Hi everyone, I plan to get a W520 as a replacement for my older laptop and have a few questions, which I've put in bold below. The W520 will be my main computer since I do a lot of image editing, the 95% color gamut of the FHD display sounds promising. I occasionally play games, mainly WoW, Starcraf...

I'm waiting for the T420 with discrete graphic. I wonder when that model will be out?
