Hardware may be failing - how to check it out

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There have been a few things going weird on this Lenovo x120e and I thought it may have been f17. But now with f20 kind of installed, and with the problems i had getting anything installed, I think I may really have flaky hardware. Here are the problems.

Probably the worst is I can't write reliably to a USB stick or SD card in the SD slot. I can read them and I can r/w to a powered USB HD and seemingly to a DVD/RW drive (both CD and DVD disks). The reason I say seemingly, is I had many failed attempts today installing f20 for disks I burned on this system. Are the disks bad or is it read problems though the USB ports. And it does not seem to matter which of the 3 USB ports I try. Oh, I was able to install the i386; lots of failures and bug reports on the x86_64 install attempts.

Another annoying problem is audio. No sound most of the time. I may have sound for a while after boot, but then it stops. All standard indicators is there is sound, but nothing comes out.

VGA adapter can get flaky and red stops. Plug unplug. Suspend/resume and eventually it comes back. Sometimes the external VGA stops working all together. Then later starts again.

I have not found any system, within my budget other than the x120e that suits my requirements.

12", duo core, 4GB memory, and 'eraser head' pointer are the must haves. Oh and under $200!
