2 Aug 07: Article #4: IBM Thinkpad 600 Shutdown Problem Resolved

I had this problem with my daughters' IBM Thinkpad 600 Pentium II notebook/laptop, which actually switches off by itself. There are no batteries connected, just a direct connection to the mains.


At the advice of my friend, I took the computer apart to see if there was any problems with the CPU fan and heat sink.


I could not find any anomaly. After I put all the screws back, the computer seemed to have rectified itself miraculously, and was back to normal.


After this I have no problem using the notebook to post this blog. Little things like this, really make my day.
