              Take the laptop out and trade it for $20 worth of crack, then go buy a Dell or something. Win/win.

                Can I opt for beer instead of narcotics?

                  @travisdh1 Older issue, but yeah.... I'd just as soon install our own image on it. But I don't want Lenovo attempting to use that as an excuse....

                    I guess... if you can find a beer dealer standing around that will take trades like that.

                      Have you checked to see if the antenna wires are properly attached to the wireless card? Fairly likely to have been pulled during a motherboard swap out and I swear those little bastards are never the same after you disconnect them once.

                        I haven't because I have warranty on the device, so I'm not touching this thing besides to confirm its usability.

                        Normally I would, and that is what I'm assuming as well...

                          You're correct. Don't open it.

                            Right, don't open it. I wonder if it got one of the lucky superfish enabled wifi adapters?

                                supposedly that was solved by releasing a driver without superfish.

                                  Dominica's Lenovo crashed hard tonight. That thing with Win 10 crashed like once a month. Asus with Ubuntu, never.

                                    Where you still using the WiFi card that came with it? It was totally worth the $65 investment in a third party card for my Yoga. After that - all problems just gone!

                                    And I upgraded to AC, it came with N.
