T43 turning off with any error message

[rashidzaidi]

Hi,
I have T43, which was running fine.

Now it is turning off at any time without giving any error message.
Then I have to remove and insert battery and turn on.It again runs but then turning off.
Sometimes if i remove just power cable for a second and put it back. it works.

One thing which i noticed that CPU temperature is going up very fast.

Any idea what is happening with it.

It certainly might be overheating. You can pull the fan and replace the thermal grease, then reseat. The fan could be sick. When it heats up, does the fan come on?

Yes.....it seems fan is ON all the time.
