[Thinkpad] Re: Need some i series help - any experts out thre?

We see lots of power related problems with various members of the
i-series... always expensive. I usually send them out, but I know I
almost never see these problems with other Thinkpads. Varies from bad
power switches to bad inverters to bad adapters to screwy things caused
by bad batteries. They seem to have had ban engineering where power is
involved... or just bad Chinese parts... "Big Trouble" frequency is
about 10 times higher for i-series than with other Thinkpads... and it
is often power problems under the hood.
