-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 In May 2008 I purchased new and started using a Lenovo R61 Think Pad. Originally I installed Lenny on it and subsequently upgraded it to Squeeze.
Starting from 2013-01-01 various things started going wrong. For example I began to get segmentation fault errors for packages that I had used successfully before that date. Some of other problems where intermittent sound, and failure to detect the printer, even manually. At first I thought these were software faults and sought help from this list. Finally I decided to spend $100 for diagnostic tests. The diagnosis was a failed main board, but the hard drive and the memory modules were okay. The cost of repairs would approximate the cost of a new laptop. Is it normal for any laptop to fail in fewer than five years, or is such a failure rate unique to Lenovo's laptops?
