    Hi, I have T140p with bluescreens, I've replaced the harddrive, the voltage regulator and disconnected almost every peripheral. but still - have bluescreens. Is it possible that the Cmos battery is responsible for it. I sometimes get the laptop to come up and work fine, but when it goes to bluescreens - it takes lots of tries to get it back to work. I susspected the MoBo, but maybe its just the battery? any clue?

    It might help if we knew what the bluescreen error code was.

    it just pops up - I can't get a screen shot of it and then the laptop restarts. Alaready replaced every possible thing that connects to the MoBo, its a new disk, a new power supply and power supply miniboard, screen works fine, battery works fine. Windows XP starts and then fails on bluescreen. when its on bios or on "start windows normally, safemode etc" its not failing. Fresh XP. usually if I touched the bottom of the case it started with blue screens. when I dismentled the MB from the case its still won't work. same problem.
    Thanks
