T41 freezes, then doesn't boot up

#1 Post by doktorkoo » Fri Jul 29, 2011 1:34 am

it all started by freezing just in the middle of usage. I booted it up again with long power-button press, booted up fine but freezes after about one minute of use. After a few reboots it stopped booting, just the power and battery LED are on.

I left it on the table without the battery for a week, and this morning it booted again, but freezed after the same ~1 min of use. After that power-on doesn't proceed...

is it the end of the road for my T41? I mean it's not worth to resolder CPu or so, as you get used devices for 100 euros...

I am guessing a loose GPU. Do a forum search for it.
