jinp6301 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I think I just fried mine, but is that possible? My laptop charges fine with my brother's charger but mine doesn't seem to work. Question: Should I buy another one from lenovo or any cheap one from ebay? or does anyone have a spare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

en480c4 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Awesome. As for an adapter, I'd order directly from Lenovo. So many of the aftermarket stuff is crap that there's a good chance you'd just be throwing your money away on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

en480c4 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Um, as for a notebook, I'd buy a refurb ThinkPad T40 for less than 1/3 the price of a new MacBook. Oh wait, that's what I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, there seems to be some lenovo chargers on ebay that look very similar to the real thing (which is $40 ) does anyone know if they're fake?

JBLoudG20 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hold on facepalm, didn't you used to captain lenovo? I still captain Linux. But nobody here even goes for that.. so its easier to persuade into Mac territory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinp6301 Posted August 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I completely forgot that my brother's lenovo is still under warranty and he has the exactly the same charger as I do so ....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I still captain Linux. But nobody here even goes for that...Somewhen between back then and now, I've gone pretty much linux everywhere. I think half the machines I have access to are dual boot, or have a VM on them.

I think half the machines I have access to are dual boot, or have a VM on them. I only kept one Windows machine around for Lightroom. As of last week I am finally windows free. I use RHEL5.2 at work, Fedora 8, 9, 8, 8, OSX at home, and Fedora 5/SUSE 4 in my Lab. *nix FTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jinp6301 Posted August 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Um, I sent a service request and I supposedly got the problem resolved. But I got this as the resolution CRUING THE FOLLOWING AC ADAPTER FRU 42T5282 This is probably a stupid question but does that mean that they're sending me one or I should go buy one?

In Thinkpad-speak, CRU is customer-replaceable unit. So, it sounds like they are sending you a replacement adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
