    For a long while, the fan in my T30 was giving problems. Sometimes I would get "Fan error" while booting up.

    Then after a while, even that message disappeared. When I press the power button, the indicator lights turn on, then nothing. No error message, no noise, nothing.
    Occasionally, after pressing the button like 20 times the laptop would turn on, but even that has stopped now.

    I opened up the laptop and put in a new fan. The problem still persists.

    Any idea on what might be the problem ?

    How old is it? Maybe something over-heated perhaps due to the fan problem?

    I want to agree with your sig. Go Ron Paul! And anyone who would give freedom for security deserves neither. I'm also from Kahlifornia.
