Actually I should post this via anon.penet.fi, embarrasing as it is ... Oustide the US, the 701 TP is sold with the Modem disabled for legal reasons, so I figured break the lid open and theres the connector behind it. It wasn't. But now, MAYBE becuase of the force applied, my system behaves as if the screen is closed constantly. When you disable shutdown when closed in the Bios, the Box will continue running but the screen goes off anyway, just like the light in you refrigerator when you close it. I now use a piece of cardboard stuck between keyboard and case which disables the sensor that tells it that the box is closed. Works, but is a hassle. Now IBM's got this nice warranty but I figured I can't assume it on behalf of my own stupidity (shame shame shame). Any Comments ? Will they take it anyway ? How do I disable the sensor manually ? Or if they can bil me ? Joachim Loeblein, ud1b@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de I Fear Nothing.
