Hi,
I have a ThinkPad T43 (1871-F1G). The laptop (screen?) randomly freezes. If I tilt the laptop I can keep working as if nothing happened.
All keyboard strokes and mouse movements are recorded when the laptop (screen?) freezes. For example, if I type "ThinkPad" and the laptop freezes after hitting "k", the "Pad" appears when I tilt the computer and it no longer freezes.
If I gently press the keyboard down with my hand the computer also resumes.
A friend suggested that I replace the keyboard. I have done this, but it did not solve the problem.
What can I do?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

My thoughts too about Southbridge. Yes, Neil has pointed you in a good direction as poshgeordie (Nick) will be able to help with the problem. He is Newcastle-upon-Tyne ... so just across the North Sea from you.

Nick fixed my laptop by reballing the Southbridge Chip. The costs was reasonable and the service outstanding.
Thanks for the suggestions.
