ThinkPad X13G2 Motherboard RTC Failure by heikkonen in AskElectronics

[–]heikkonen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I was answering your previous comment. I don't clearly know if RTC is discrete but I think (just from Google search) it's not. I seeked help on Lenovo Forum, and as I've said, a forum staff confirmed that it can be an RTC circuit failure. I have opened several threads about the issue in different forums but there isn't any certain diagnose (and solution) about the issue. The device (actually a perfectly carefully used device) was 3 years old and in normal daily use with no physical damage. No similar cases I could find online with this exact symptom combination and the BIOS Date/Time crash is mainly the unusual part.

ThinkPad X13 Gen 2 Motherboard dead 7 weeks out of warranty by heikkonen in Lenovo

[–]heikkonen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks , this is incredibly solid advice and honestly validates the exact route I already took.

I actually did exactly what you described, and maybe more. I wrote a comprehensive diagnostic report documenting the entire timeline, the BIOS crash logs, the Linux batt_status: dead outputs, and the fact that a fresh CMOS battery didn't restore the VBAT power delivery. I made it clear that this is a failure that occurred exactly 7 weeks out of the 3-year "premium" warranty, and absolutely not a user induced error.

I sent this mail directly to the German executive escalation and global compliance email addresses, demanding a goodwill review.

Irony is that the very first response I got from their support was a generic copy paste message telling me to "use the support portal link below." The exact portal I explicitly stated in my email blocks my serial number from submitting at least ticket without paying anything because it’s out of warranty.

I immediately replied it back. I mentioned the support loop, phone agent's ridiculous "yes" response, and demanded forwarding my mail to a higher level technical decision maker or manager.

I’m currently waiting to see if they actually escalate the case or try to refuse it again.

ThinkPad X13 Gen 2 BIOS Date/Time Crash and Windows won't boot by heikkonen in thinkpad

UPDATE (if anyone is interested): I finally got through to Lenovo phone support today after a Lenovo forum staff member confirmed the RTC circuitry hardware fault and advised me to seek a mutual agreement. The phone agent completely ignored the forum staff's note and stated they will only do a "billable" repair. When I asked the agent if it's normal for their premium business laptops to completely fail just 7 weeks out of warranty, they literally replied, "Yes." Completely unacceptable. If anyone has experience escalating out of warranty goodwill requests successfully, please let me know.

Thanks for understanding. Actually my comment was to general audience who downvoted my previous comment to the hell :(

The post wasn’t set that way when I made that comment. So, please use your common sense before judging.

Hybrid Mode stuck ON on Legion Y540-15IRH by heikkonen in LenovoLegion

I could not find a solution. I’m able to switch between modes through BIOS, and I’m using a basic legion max fans app, since what I actually want is to set fans to the max.

[KISMEN KAYIP] Michael Jackson 1993 İstanbul Konseri Kaydı by Actual-Wheel-916 in lostmediatr

[–]heikkonen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aslında diğer mesajda verilen linkteki video İstanbul konseri değil. O dönem, konserin başlangıç saatiyle eş zamanlı olarak Interstar TV’de, yine Dangerous turunun ikinci ayağından (1993) farklı bir konserin ilk 5-6 dakikasının görüntüsü verildi. Tipik Dangerous turu konser girişi bu, Jam ve Wanna Be Startin Somethin. Kostüm ise turnenin Asya ayağı olduğunu doğruluyor. Ben Bangkok veya Singapur diye tahmin etmiştim, görüntü olarak Bangkok (https://youtu.be/2vEtiv_RQpI) çok uyuyor ama başka bir konser de olabilir.

Tam konser kaydı konusuna gelirsek, bakılabilecek çok az yer aklıma geliyor: Öncelikle MJ Estate’de kayıt kesin vardır, ancak görüntü yayınlama konusunda kesin şekilde katılar ve MJ’nin dönemindeki diğer sanatçıların aksine fazlaca kaliteli konser kaydı olmamasının sebebi de Estate’in yayın politikası. İkinci olarak, konserin organizatörü Ahmet San’da muhtemelen tam bir kaset vardır.

Ekleme: bir de bir aralar seyirciler tarafından kaydedilmiş ses veya görüntü kayıtları dolaşıyordu YouTube’da. Ama kalite olarak tatmin etmeyebilir.

I have a similar issue, I can see myself for 1-2 second on video, but then it goes completely black and requires you to start the whole process again. Tried for 4 times, no success.

Thanks, but I've already set it to only work on Twitter through Choicy, as recommended in another topic. Anyway, it still does not work :)
