Grabbed a #Lenovo #Ideapad C330 (#Chromebook) from my local #ewaste facility, looking to log into certain #Google Workspace accounts without providing a footprint on an actual #PC. And in the future when no longer supported install #Debian on it.
Also: this Chromebook folds to a tablet.

Unfortunately, the battery never fully charges: solid red for a few hours, then blinking red LED. I can get it to boot, but it will stay on for just a few minutes and then dies. Leaving it charging overnight, I was able to get logged in and started the upgrade for #ChromeOS 105.0.5195.134 (32 Bit), got the reboot and then it died. Left it unplugged, and there is no juice at all.
I found replacement batteries for $5 and up on #ebay, $10 plus shipping on gotlaptopparts.com, and stupid prices elsewhere. My concern is that it is not the battery but the circuits that managing charging the battery (which I would consider beyond repair and take back to eddies).

Via https://cros.tech/device/maple/ it looks as this Chromebook will support ChromeOS 143.0.7499.46, so there should still be some life in this device if the power issue is addressed.

Anything I’m missing here/not considering? Worth getting that cheap assed ebay battery and giving it a try?

Ich hab heute ein Lenovo #Ideapad Flex5 14" mit einem #Ryzen 7 4700u.
Das ist mein einziges Gerät, kein extra Tower.

Damit spiel ich zB #Anno 1404, #TransportFever2, #CitiesSkylines.

Gekauft hab ich den 2020 und jetzt schlawenzel ich grad drum rum, ob ich in einen neuen mit einem Ryzen AI 300 investieren soll, mit der Radeon 880M drin 🤔

Bsp: https://www.alternate.de/MSI/Summit-A16-AIplus-A3HMTG-035-Notebook/html/product/100078677#product-details-tab

Finde die aber alle so teuer 😶‍🌫️

Ziel wäre zB Anno 1800 und 117, Cities Skylines 2.

@landley Right now I'm glad @krutonium made sufficient efforts to enable said #eBookReader to be feasibly target-able for @OS1337.

• Cuz even tho I'm not @TechConnectify I do like #eInk and can see the merits of #transflective screens.

Yes, I'm still mad about #PixelQi getting acquired.by #3M and ceasing to offer their cool screens and yes I still want that PixelQi-swapped #IdeaPad-#Netbook…

• Why can't we have nice things?

These are the #flipkart keywords that I used -> Lenovo, HP, 14 - 15 - 16 - 17 inch, 4 ⭐ & above, 1 TB, 16 GB, 512 GB, #windows11, #windows11home, #Dell, F-assured, #windows10

I really need some help. I managed to #softlock my #Lenovo #Ideapad #Laptop, please help me!! 🙏

Details:
Ideapad 15 15ALC05

Tried enabling debug/advanced BIOS: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lenovo_IdeaPad_5_Pro_14ACN6#Hidden_BIOS_menus

It didn't work, just a black screen. Now turning it back on normally, it won't post. Esc, power and NumLock solid on + fans spin up slowly.

I have tried: holding power, leaving it to sit with CMOS (?) + battery unplugged, NOVA button (gives double beep when held)

TL;DR: Shutdown the device, then plug in the USB stick. For example, if one wants to boot from a USB stick. 💻🔌

Press the little hole on the right-hand side of the device with a SIM eject pin, and voilà! The boot menu is available. Cheers! 😄✨ #TechTips #USBBoot #Gadgets

@BrodieOnLinux Hello.

I'm curently trying to #install #ArchLinux on an "old" #laptop, (an #IdeaPad 110-15iBR gifted to me, to be precise) but I might be stupid, but even following the wiki's instructions, I keep failing.

Might it be possible to have some #help from you, to see whut I'm missing? I know it would mean I vold have to stay up at night, since I'm #French and you #Australian, but I'm just THAT #desperate.

Can we discuss our disponibility to organise such a thing? (You can diffuse it live, on Twitch or whatever, just warn your other followers of my atrocious French accent. 😉)

Either way, #thanks.

#IdeaCrap, #LenovoCrap #stupidFrenchy

@fedora @ubuntu I use a Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8 notebook with Arch Linux and another IdeaPad S145 15IWL notebook with Arch Linux as well. The notebooks work very well with Arch Linux. #Lenovo #archlinux #lenovoloq #lenovoloq15 #ideapad #Linux

Hat irgend jemand Interesse an einem #Lenovo #IdeaPad S10-2, einer #Dockingstation ThinkStation Mini Series 3 und den Überresten eines #ThinkPad X230 (Display fehlt, Gehäuseriss neben Touchpad, ohne RAM und ohne Festplatte).

Hello guys,
I have USB-C (input) dual monitor MISURA 15" with two cables
1. USB-C -> USB-C
2. 2xUSB-A -> USB-C

Monitor works with Lenovo Thinkpak T490 with both cables (1. and 2.), OS Windows 11.

I tried on my Lenovo ideapad Y580, where are only USB-A ports (possible usage only 2.), OS linux, but it not work.

Any idea how to bring it work?
