Greets.

	I have the same problem with my T30 (2366-82G). I've 256+256Mb and one sto=
pped working. In the beginning when I noticed the problem, taking the simms=
 out and re-inserting solved the problem but not anymore.
	This seems to be a too common T30 problem, perhaps bad design. I'm going t=
o send my to service soon, when I don't have so much use for it. I hope it =
doesn't take too long.
