Re: Lenovo 215wa Intermittent Power Issue



I was actually reading a sticky on Badcaps last night that recommended trying a different lamp.

Thanks Rtech....

(This is because my college doesn't teach jack all about this) I am very interested in electronics been tinkering with them for about 10 years now, still am not very good at programming, have been playing around with Arduino and such. Here's to learning and solving problems! Cheers!
