What's a planar card?

[koolzero]

Hi, I just got a T43P back from being repaired and on the sheet under part description it says Planar Card. Is this the motherboard?

Thanks.

Just for historical purposes, what was the problem?

I had a machine that was acting a little goofy. I ran PC Doctor quick test and it ran through alright, then I ran the long test and it never finished. It got to the screen that displayed the following:

Memory Test - Full Test Category (12/13)
B1 Complex Pattern Test
[01006400H]-[3FEDFFFFH]
Current Test: 47%
Overall Tsts: 98%

Pass 1 of 1 - Test 62 of 62

I left it running over night for about 10 hours, and this is where was at. A user sent this in saying that it has blue screened 10 times in the past few days. It also wouldn't turn on. When I recieved it it wouldn't turn like she said, I pulled out the battery and held the power button down for a minute and it would power on but the screen wouldn't come on, so I swapped out her hard drive and put it into another T43p shell.

After I pulld out the hard drive it would turn on and the screen came on, so I put my hard drive in and it wouldn't turn on again so I repeated this once more and this time it worked...

I left it for the rest of the weekend and tried turning it on on Monday and I just received a series of random beeps sounded like 3 1 4 beeps... IBM replaced the motherboard.
