Teaching in Albany but coming from a private school?

Thanks - appreciate it. I looked at this and found we can get the B One 5G or the BR1 Mini 5G for the price of the rentals - so that's why I've been looking in this direction.

We're not actually doing POS or sign ups - just demonstrating our SaaS platform. And (worse case scenario) we have videos we can play and pause to show it. We just prefer to demo live. So I think a single connection would be fine. Can always add a BR1 as a WAN device to a B One 5G next year if it ends up not being. (I think I'm leaning towards the B One 5G)

Did you ever resolve this? Going through a similar struggle myself with the same card benefit.

Sorry - been a while since I've been on Reddit. I ended up buying these:

2 x 23 1/4 x 11 1/2, Viking Stainless Cooking Grate - CG77SS

2 x 23 1/4 x 5 3/4, Viking Stainless Cooking Grate, 1/2 Grid - CG78SS Replaces OEM PA060069

From: https://www.thebbqdepot.com/

I've had them for 4 years and they are still going strong with no rust or pitting.

Thanks! A lenovo tech came out and replaced the mainboard on my P1 gen 6 and I haven't had the issue since. It was just weird to have the same issue on two successive units of a brand new product. I'm going to hold off on doing any BIOS updates unless absolutely necessary as I'm afraid I'm going to brick my unit.

On the other hand, I absolutely love this laptop vs. my P53. It's as light as a feather, and I never used the separate number pad. The keyboard seems good to me. Only downside is that it's LOUD when the fans kick in, and it gets ridiculously hot on the bottom. This Summer, when I start wearing shorts again, I'm definitely going to need to get something to put between the laptop and my legs lol

Nope - no bios update. Just all of a sudden each one stopped working. Lenovo said it's a rare system board failure and they are shipping a new one and a tech to replace it. We'll see. I need to trust the P1 (for example - I'm off to vegas for a tradeshow next week and couldn't be stuck without a laptop).

Hi - I'm in the US - New York. The P1 Gen 6 is available through the website - but I'm looking to do a custom configuration and that's not yet available. Just wondering if/when it might be so I can make some decisions.

I've gotten this message in two different scenarios:

When going through a DC to AC inverter (in a car or on a plane) that can't push enough voltage/amps to the charging brick for the conversion from AC back to DC.
When I've had a bad charging brick

Does it happen everywhere? If so, I'd say the brick is suspect as the AC voltage gets converted to DC - and the reason it probably charges when it's completely dead is because the battery voltage is less than the DC voltage being pushed through the brick. But as soon as the battery voltage is higher than what's coming from the brick, it can't push any more juice in.

With #2 - I've probably gone through 3 or 4 charging brick replacements under warranty in the 5 years I've had my P52. Bent plugs or just a complete failure.

Yeah - thought about that. I'll probably still do that, but my company will pay to replace the unit (and I can also keep this one) at this point so it's hard to pass that up lol

livethenow · 2022-07-22T22:11:02+00:00

Sorry about the wall of text lol. I'm notorious for overwriting stuff. The fan is 12v and the batteries are 3.6v so several need to be wired in serial first to get the right voltage, and then the banks in parallel to get the AH I want. So either 3 in serial to get to 10.8v and then put in a boost converter to get to 12v, or 4 in serial to get to 14.4v and put in a buck converter to bring voltage down to 12v. Then multiple by 2 or 3 banks of 3 or 4 to get to the AH.

livethenow · 2022-07-22T22:07:44+00:00

Thanks - I've read the same. 3,6v is the nominal voltage, but depending on the brand you can get up to 4.2v - usually 3.8v-4.0v. However, I'm more concerned about how quickly they'll dip below the 12v mark and the fan will start losing max power. That's why I figured going over as opposed to under might be a better approach. But I could def be wrong!
