The official from Lenovo power supply is on the truck for delivery today. If it doesn't work, then when the old one died, my computer guy suspects it may have taken out something on the motherboard. If that's the case I'll balance the cost of repair vs. a new ThinkPad. This one works fine on batteries, but it never leaves my desk. Watching the battery monitor so it doesn't overcharge or undercharge is a bit of a PITA, but the thing that bugs me most is I usually leave it on all day. If a customer contacts me with a problem (which is indeed rare) and it's turned off, I will have to wait until the computer boots up before I can help. So I'll get it fixed one way or another. BTW if I got a fraud on Amazon, they did a good job. It looks just like the old one, and the instructions and safety warnings look official too. But if you are going to make a fraud, it's to your advantage to make a good one.  Insights and incites by Notes
