First of all, with this International “Hi” I wanted to thank everyone, all over the world, who supported me during this long time, while experimenting and working to something that passionate all of us. My sincere greetings for New Year’s Eve.
Today I am launching a new challenge.
I would like to keep working on UnifL project and once again I need your support. Everything counts as important here, so far my only computer i have, my laptop: Lenovo Y560 is almost dead, as you can see by the attached pictures.
Current laptop issues:
Display:
Cable but most importantly motherboard’s contacts are in very poor shape. Connection gets interrupted every 10-15 minutes.
See video. http://youtu.be/FM2jjiyWBFQ
Notebook’s cover:
Cheap plastic got damaged due transportation between countries, both hinges that connected Laptop Screen with main laptop body are broken so now screen is supported by pack of pens.
Battery:
Dead. Around 5 minutes w/o AC.
Hardware State:
Constant Overheat. Typical temp when doing nothing – 60 C. After launching game – 90-100 and ongoing reboot. Tried exchanging thermal-paste and give more space for air but to no vail.
Hardware power:
Outdated. Cannot “deliver” anymore.
Many of you knows how expensive is a new “acceptable” computer nowadays, and currently my salary is not enough high to just keep saving money. So if you can spare a coin or two – i would really appreciate it. Every bit helps ^_^.
You can see new counter on the right where donation button resides. Current saved money and destination goal.
Button to make a difference
:
I would like to thank again all who is going to donate and who already done it.
Happy New Year Everyone!

Update:
Today, 23/01/2013 at 7:04 i found my laptop dead. No response to any actions: no boot, no blink. Disassembled and did not find any obvious trouble like dead mb parts or disconnected cables. Reasembled back – same story.



sveiki and labas is the same
which one should i keep?
No, it isn’t. I believe that labas and sveiki are both hello in Lithuanian, but in Latvian it’s just sveiki.
Ты уже решил, что будешь брать?)
Да, присмотрелся уже.
Donated, thanks Leshcat you do an amazing job. I would of had to buy another laptop if it wasn’t for your support. I still find it amazing that these multi-billion dollar companies will turn their backs on us, I know I’ll be looking closely at my next machine when I need one.
Thanks again for all your hard work, you deserve a proper Australian “Good on ya mate!”
Mike
Hey Mike,
Big thanks for your kind words
And for donation too, of course
Donated a couple of days ago but I’m not on the list yet
Did the donation arrive ok!?
My sincere apologies, mixed up paypal reports, fixed
Thank you very much!
No worries, glad it reached you ok
你好,My computer is y460a
Благодарствую! Дровописателей профильных ноутов не дождаться, пока они подпишут дрова (которые и без того должны работать) для легальной установки. С AMD это прям какое-то ступание по граблям постоянное. Главное, что на 7970 (стационар) все с пол пинка работает. Купил новый ноут от Самсунга, а на дровишки производитель со дня выпуска решил забить.
В общем, получу зарплату – подкину денег, что бы вам было на чем работать!
Спасибо
Y560!!THE SAME
