Re: Where an Ubuntu-compatible second-hand laptop?

The old one started working again for no apparent reason so I now have 2 laptops which is handy. My >current Thinkpad is a T420 and the previous is a T61 so I did get a reasonable amount of use out of the T61 before it had problems.

I have seen a thinkpad doing something like that before : intermittently working and not working. Replacing the cmos battery fixed it. Its likely under the keyboard. There is a screw underneath that holds the keyboard in place. It may be though that you need to pull out the battery to get to that screw? Daniel.
