Thanks for the input. It does look like a great HDD from the specs. My 100 ran like a charm for 3-4 hours after clocking it up last night. But when I pushed the CPU to rip a CD with EAC, Exact Audio Copy, it went into thermal overload, and hibernated in about 5 minutes.
I find standing the laptop on it's left end with the keyboard flipped up works a charm when it's really slogging the CPU (mine is clocked to 233) as it lets cooling air directly past the heatsink and the region under the hard drive ... although I have had it go into thermal shutdown when ambient temp rises above 25�C even doing this ...
It was only about 75-78 degrees F. too. I'm now wondering if even clocking at to 233 will fix this. Plus I don't even know if I'm capable of the 233 o/c process. It seems like a component has to be remove from the middle pair of solder points.
Bah ... that component is a zero-ohm resistor (ie. a wire link). They didn't use an actual wire link because it's easier to populate the board when all the components are the same size. Just flick it out with a hot soldering iron then use a little bit of wire to bridge the 3 pads as marked (it's probably easier to go between the right 2 pads rather than go around them, just put a little 'hump' in the wire so it doesn't short anything out).

P.S. Yes I am still here ... waaayyyyy behind in my list emails (I'm reading them in reverse order) but I am still here ... hehe
