I saw few guys referring to TP fan control. I am using it on my USED T43p (2668-H1U). I got it for a bargain price on ebay...... :lol: Anyway, I am running it now indoors with NOTHING running except browser and downloader. I am using wireless. Here are the readings: 1 cpu 58°C 2 aps 51°C 3 crd 40°C ...

I am still waiting for the LCD photos.

I can wait for you. I am actually waiting to resolve a claim on ebay that shall release funds for buying a T43p mobo. I have a quote now, but still higher than expected, for a 4 years old mobo . In fact, if i am able to pay slightly more, i can definitely buy a brand NEW Acer Netbook.

ajkukla: Thanks a lot for the offer. It is really about my tight budget these days :( Correct me if i am wrong: Being a spare lid means it is lying somewhere in your house, and not connected to a board, therefore, you may not be able to provide me with a photo of how it looks like when operational. ...

man! I was reading the manual like a blind bat!! I will check and see what I find in the panel. It will be a while before I can do that, may be over the weekend.

thanks guys for the help. I will keep you posted.

poshgeordie:

The link you provided points to an enhanced version of the HMM. I am actually looking for guidance towards dealing with the LCD cable swap process, and how difficult it might be.

thanks for the help.

Thanks Harry.

In case i buy an LCD cable, is it easy to swap it safely? I am a technical person, and I have some basic tools like an analogue multimeter and screwdrivers I don't have soldering tools at all.

In my mind, I am certain it is a screen problem. But, what exactly it? inverter? LCD? cables? bulb???
That is what I am looking for.

TO poshgeordie:
I confirm all your questions:

1- Long M22 Fan leading to the ATI X300 graphics chip
2-The pad does exist. Like I mentioned earlier, i doubt to be a heat problem since tpfancontrol readings are all normal below 70
3- I did apply MX-2 heat paste to the CPU.

PC doctor was the first thing I ran after seeing these symptoms. I have done that 9 days ago. Now, the laptop is taken apart. There has been no unusual report from PC doctor. The only thing i have there is the LCD green pixels, getting more numorous as the laptop runs longer or on graphics demanding...

the external monitor works fine. Oh! I forgot to mention: These symptoms do not appear when the laptop is cold, that is, immediately after booting. So, I have to cool it down considerably before i reboot. But, like i said earlier, the tpfancontrol reading are all below 70, all time as long as i don'...

thanks Harry

Unfortunately, I don't have this luxury since i don't have spare parts.

Any other ideas of what the culprit would be?

Hi folks I have read almost 8 pages of LCD issues in this forum, and could not find a match for my horror story. So, here it is: I have a T43-2686DGU computer. As unlikely as it might sound, the CPU went kaput lately. So, I replaced it with an identical one. After assembling the latop, I powered up ...

Hi Do you guys have a new (or reflowed) T43 15" mobo ? I am looking for 42t0073 or equivalent, that is, 128MB ATI FireGL board. My second preference will be the 64MB ATI Radeon X300 equivalent (e.g 39T0464 or equivalent). If available, please PM me or post the price and shipping to Canada in this po...

if you got any system board on sale for a 15inch T43 but with ATI GPU, please contact me.

though it is seems unlikely, I wonder if you still have that 42T0073 unsold.

If not, any equivalent available here?

thanks!
