Power User

| Foos, we used to sell samsung but ran into to many issues with their newer equipment, and a lack of good tech support. We still service what is out in the field though. Have not had that particular problem (model) but, we had one where the customer had a leaking roof and the machine would shut off randomly and would shut off when you closed the cover sometimes. During troubleshooting I had taken off some covers and saw a totally corroded main board, and started asking some questions, looked up at the ceiling and sure enough the tiles were discolored. Seems like when machines, any machine shut off randomly I personally suspect the power supply. If you are into Thinkpads take a trip Here! |

Imaging god

| I have replaced power supplies on several of these. The last couple had a new part number - hopefully they have changed the design for better long-term reliability.
Relax? When?!
