Several of you have probably seen my T42P fan problem thread in the T4x forum. I'm giving up on it and buying another machine. As a recap, I got a fan error message, replaced the fan (which ran for an hour or so), and then got a fan error message again. Sent the fan in, got a replacement, got fan error message immediately. It does run (you need to hit ESC when the fan error message pops up). Specs as follows:
Type 2373-GVU
1.7ghz Pentium M
SXGA screen with at least two fairly large pressure spots and keyboard marks
Fire GL T2 128mb graphics
1gb ram
120gb WD Scorpio 5400rpm drive
XP Pro with COA + recovery partition on HDD
CD burner
wireless
refurbished fan installed
Standard battery in good (green) condition
ac adapter (European two-prong with adapter to use in US outlets)
Missing a screw or two on base, body in good condition, no cracks or flaws that I saw on a quick inspection
ALSO INCLUDED:
extra hitachi 40gb 5400rpm hard drive
extra standard battery
2878 dock with key & power adapter
burned recovery discs
$150 + $14.00 USPS Priority mail shipping. The price is firm, and frankly, anyone emailing me and offering $25 will not even receive a reply. The internal hard drive alone is $60 on eBay. Any questions, or requests for more pictures, feel free to let me know. As I said, she runs fine with no issues other than the fan error, which could be a motherboard circuit or fuse issue.
