Well, the bloom is off the rose with regard to my "new" Pentium 755CD. After spending a great deal of time wiping all of the previous owner's stuff off the HD and replacing it with my own (licensed) copies and getting it _just_ the way I wanted it, it's gone dead! No response either on battery or AC (not even a charging indication and it's not the power supply as it works with my other units) and I am loathe to open the case on a random search. Anyone have any positive thoughts they could send my way, such as "there's a small fuse inside you can replace in two minutes!". I wasn't doing anything special with it at the time of death, as a matter of fact I was editing an E-mail to the list about the fact that I had noticed that after more than about 1/2 hour of use the bottom of the case was almost too hot to comfortably rest in your lap. Could this be an indication of something going _very_ wrong with the unit or was this normal. I have several other 755s, although no other Pentium ones, and I've noticed that they all tend to get warm while in use although not to the extent of the one that died. Any clues from anyone as to how a request for warranty repair would be received from IBM? While I'm not the original purchaser, the unit is less that 3 years old so it should still be under warranty. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Regards, James James H. E. Maugham, V.P. Share the Technology Computer Recycling Project http://www.libertynet.org/~share
