How do I get from those threads to the forum that they were posted in?

Need to do some UI joining up here. In the meantime - in the Forum Box ( on the right hand side when you are logged in) you should see "User Topics" - That gets you to list of forums.

My IBM TP30 must b the same. When stat it, (about 10 presses on the start buttom before it kicks in) I get 'fan error, and it shuts down. do it again, 3 more times, and it works (note to self: try sticking a vacuum cleaner on the vent, see if it's just acccumulated dust.

Re: Well that's nice
