Do you find the screen back light inverter and/or that little ribbon cable between the base and the display are a particular cause of trouble with your T42s?
But I know what you mean about the build quality.
- sigil 14y agoNo, haven't seen that one. The most common natural deaths for me are fan death and USB ports going out. This list of known hardware problems by Thinkpad model has proven true though: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Known_Problems http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Known_Problems Also, I'll add that Thinkpads are quite easy to repair yourself. Great instruction manuals, and markings on the case itself as to what screws to take out to access a certain part.
- keithpeter 14y agoGood list http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problem_with_video_related_system_lockup_II http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problem_with_video_related_sys... I had this one on the last T42p, and a bust inverter on a previous model. Small sample thing!
