I'm running a T43 on Vista Ultimate and I'm have the EXACT same issues. I usually have to apply about a pound of pressure directly on the space next to my mousepad to the right, just over the HD to stimulate activity on my comp. This is becoming very annoying. So far I've only removed the HD and cleaned it and jammed it back in there assuming that the connections were just loose. The comp is working alot better now, but I just had a freeze up a few mins ago--but so far it's running like 95% better. I don't think this is a permanent fix though.

I had this T41 for 4 years. The only thing I've changed is an additional 512MB memory which was installed 3 yrs ago and hasn't brought any problems. All the other parts are untouched. The keyboard did get tortured by a few times of coffee spilling, but it survived. Recently my T41 had start to halt (being unresponsive to keyboard and track point actions) during running Windows XP, and then got back to normal. Starting from last week, it won't start and halted at the BIOS start screen. Then in the rare case it did get through, it would halt often while running Windows. I suspect it is due to the keyboard and the track point, but not sure. Could anyone give me any suggestions how to solve it? Thank you very much.

Anytime I try to use a USB 2 device, my Windows XP system shuts down. I took it into a good, local repair shop who attempted to get around the problem by using the card port to insert a dual USB 2 card. This did not work either. After keeping the laptop for over a week during which they claimed to have checked all the drivers and other features, they concluded that it was a problem with the motherboard and I should get a new laptop. Apparently I am not alone on this problem. What is IBM Lenovo doing to address this problem.
