Hi has anyone had an issue that sometimes the battery lasts hours on a charge and sometimes the battery only lasts a couple of mins?

Looking at building one from parts and wanted to know if the LCDs and plastics interchange between the various Z units of the same size screens.

OK, believe it or not, my wife succeeded in killing another R51. Factory keyboard no longer works, swapped it for a good one, it will do nothing....

Hi All,

My A31p keeps freezing for the last week. When it happens, the machine needs hard restart. Then it may freeze again after, say 15min.
Today...
