To all Lenovo owners who have the option of added a mSATA SSD, is anyone interested in getting this MyDigitalSSD 128GB mSATA SSD?

Link: http://www.mydigitaldiscount.com/mydigitalssd-128gb-50mm-bullet-proof-msata-ssd/

I am seriously thinking of ordering one for myself. When I checked the shipping, it is about US$30. If anyone else is interested, I think we can split the shipping costs.

So, is anyone keen?

Bumpity bump! Cousin will be flying back in Nov so I guess we can save on shipping, if anyone is interested!

You bought second hand? I think you can drop by or give their service centre at changi a call to enquire more. I remember they have some options for you to upgrade the warranty. But do note, it is going to cost you a bomb.

If you bought it brand new, I think you just need to keep your proof of purchase. The warranty should commence from the date stated on it.

Hi guys,

I am thinking of buying the W520 from lenovo.com. I will be heading there next month. Thinking if I should use a freight forwarding service to send it back here or should I receive it when I am there?

Also, regarding the Quadro 1000M and 2000M, any major differences? Although I intend to use them in 3D modelling applications (like CATIA), wondering if it is good for gaming?

My T61p (15.4") has a dead HSF for the third time. It's obviously out of warranty and ebay doesn't really have new pieces for FRU 42X4685. Anyone else had any luck?

Has to remove the whole assembly to do it. Otherwise if the oil get into circuit board, is hard to clean it.
