Kind of sounds like a BGA problem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_grid_array I had a repair on a T4x done by http://www.superiorreball.com/ a few years ago; they did it and it's been fine since, but the machine came back with the BIOS reset (I had hacked it to use a different wireless card) and a STRONG smell of cigarette smoke. At the time, Bruce Markowitz found that a service contract on the machine would have been $259, which might be a bargain for you if it's out of warranty. Superior Reball was advertising on eBay at the time, not sure now... ...phsiii _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
