Apparently the problems/errors/failures I reported are a known problem that Lenovo has refused to address: http://reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/ztvro4/lenovo_legion_5_t5_are_seemi... This is bad enough, and widespread enough, that owners of these computers trying to bring a class-action lawsuit against Lenovo: https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/consumer-products/electronic... There is a genuine hardware problem with the motherboard, curable only by swapping out the motherboard for a non-Lenovo equivalent. So, I am simply going to swap the motherboard, take it as a bad decision to have bought this computer, and never do business with Lenovo again. A pity; I have used and enjoyed the ThinkPad series for a long time. But no more dealings with a company that acts like this. On 10/25/23 16:21, D. Hugh Redelmeier via talk wrote:

I'm a broken record: I'd cancel the MB order and get Lenovo Warranty service.
