T60 flexing?

#1 Post by hoax32 » Mon Oct 10, 2011 7:41 pm

Short question:

Are there any flexing problems with the T6x series?
Any bad solder, GPU problems?
Which moddels, GPU's?

Thank you! :D

"Flexing" as seen on T4x/R5x is not an issue with T6x series.

I've seen several cases of VRAM corruption on both X1400 and V5200-based boards.

Apart from that, nothing really worth mentioning.

VRAM corruption usually presents itself with a bunch of green/red squares all over the screen, or a BIOS page with hieroglyphic symbols...

There is no fix, planar replacement only.

It's really not a user-induced condition, hence there are no known preventive measures...

Why? With T60 machines now available in <$200 range everywhere, parts - including motherboards - have become quite inexpensive...

And the problem is really not that common...
