Hi!

I got a used t22 off the ebay. This is my second thinkpad and I'm enjoying it very much. The t22 is a little beaten. The keyboard is loose near the cursor keys. Is the casing broken, or could I just change the keyboard to fix it.

Another question:
My fan is on all the time. According to hardware sensor monitor, the temperature is around 45-50 C. I'm guessing this is normal?

Looks like the casing for the keyboard cover/palmrest. The keyboard part starts with the metal plate.

yeah, it is a known problem at that spot.
My T20 had the same crack, although it never left the office.
Comes from holding the notebook just on the front. The ThinkPad design has a flaw in that way, that they forgot to calculate the stress load on the 3 mm plastics strip on that spot. It just breaks due to overload after some time.

You can use simple plastics glue and fix it cheaply and then avoid holding the ThinkPad just on the front. That's all.

I understood that T22 has ONLY ONE USB port. Whict tupe is: 2.0 or 1.1

Many thanks in advance for your reply

First T series machine with USB2.0 was the T40, all earlier machines were USB1.1.
