Hey, if you remember/cared (ie, no) I had a 9860 that continued to fry itself and lastly blew one of it's raid 1 hard drives. I posted here and said "that's it" with colorful language and bought a Thinkpad x61s (which I...

Once again, I have had my Sager motherboard fry. The first two times, it was a 9860. This time, it was the 9890 board in 60 shell. I think it didn't go into standby properly, and cooked with the lid closed for a couple days, total drive...

You're pretty hosed if one drive goes, that's why it's a sham when someone recommends you put raid 0 on a laptop of all things. I've heard good things about www.grc.com Spinrite but dunno if it'll help your situation.

Hey, look at me! Wow the base policy is even better than I suspected, 3 years all parts, not even talking about the part itself! ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs...enovo_solw.pdf Warranty Period A warranty period of 3 years...

I guess I took IBM for granted. Anyone know Lenovo's policies for when I purchase my next laptop?
