Laptop troubles

Had to migrate off of my laptop - it has developed a problem with the screen which makes it difficult to use.

I’ve installed the most important software I use on my desktop games machine (which I don’t normally use because it is loud and generates a lot of heat).

I’m going to have to give my laptop back to IBM at some point soon anyway - so I’m not that fussed about having it unusable … although I would have preferred to have my new laptop available first so I could move directly to that machine rather than having to install so much software on my desktop machine first.

    Far out I thought IBM were perfect?

    What model is it? My R50e is still ticking along faithfully despite the frequent flyer miles it has racked up.

    Haha - not perfect, but they are very good.

    It’s a work issued T43 and the problem isn’t so much with the screen - that works fine … it just puts itself into power-save mode (screen turns off) at random intervals. Not sure whether it’s a software/firmware/hardware problem.

    Post-sales support is generally excellent from reports I’ve heard and from my own experience (even as an employee, we use the same post-sales support that customers use - and it works well).
