Hi, I've suddenly started having problems with my 755CDV. I will, of course, call IBM service, however as they never sent me anything back when I sent in my registration card it may take me a while to find out where I should telephone. In the meantime I thought I'd ask around to find out if my problems are at all typical, so that I'll be better prepared when talking to the service guys. I have two major problems. The first came on suddenly. The machine refuses to recognise that PCMCIA cards are present. The self-test gives OK for the PCMCIA slot I (slot II is shaded out). I work under win95, so I re-installed the IBM PC Wizard, but still no luck. The second problem has come on slowly. The machien has started locking up. At first I thought it was problems of the applications or win95, now however the problem is easily reproduced. If, say, I turn the machine on and load media player with any old AVI, then let it play continuously, the machine will eventually lock up (after between one and two hours). The only way to reboot is to unplug the machine, and take out the battery. I suspect a problem of overheating. Anyway, any comments, hints or annecdotes would be appreciated. -Afzal
