If you have a loud beep, it can be serious... depending on who is around when you use it. Anytime a Thinkpad misbehaves, that is serious where we work... and the ones I sold to Insurance companies stopped them from making further purchases of Thinkpads... so that is serious...
Not all T-43 units have the problem (only seven type numbers), but the IBM-approved hard drives are no longer available, and a 40 GB Hitachi is not acceptable due to the high failure rate of those crummy travel deathstars.. So far, the new Fujitsu hard drives do not result in the error on my machine... but I have only tried three of them. I have yet to see a GPS failure in a T-42, and we service a great number of them for sales teams and such. ________ Perfection is unattainable. .. ... .... ..... ...... .......
