I ran into this problem about a month or so after receiving my T30 (back
in Sept. 2002). After the board was replaced, everything's been fine
since. Only problem I have had since is 1 pixel die on the LCD and the
LCD slowly getting dimmer... I guess that's what happens after 1.5 years
of use and 9 - 15 hour days of constant use 5 days a week. :-D
