T42p freezing when moved.

[enwr0003]

So I bought a T42p from eBay about a year ago and it has been freezing ever since. I kept sending it back to IBM and it still freezes, especially when I pick it up to put on my lap. IBM says they fixed the hard drive the motherboard, etc. Now my warranty is up and it still has the freezing issues. Any thoughts? This has really put me in a bad mood towards IBM which I was always a huge fan of before this purchase.

Welcome to the forum!

Sorry to hear of your trouble. Since you had the repair and the problem persisted maybe you can give tech support a call to let them know the problem was never fixed.

Sounds like the dreaded loose GPU syndrome to me. A repair or replacement of the motherboard should fix the problem. Wait, they did that already, or did they?

If they replaced the mobo under warranty before, then you might be able to get them to do so again.

In some circumstances you can purchase an additional year of warranty for the machine, I would inquire about that as well.

Good luck.
