I had some trouble with the USB ports on a T41 so I sent the machine in for
service, and it was returned to me a note that said the planar board was
replaced. The service manual makes no reference to a planar board. I have
hunted on the net and based on what I see I think it is the system board, but
I'm not sure. Can someone here confirm that for me?
BTW, my experience with IBM was unbelievable. I made a call on Wednesday
afternoon about 5:15 and a shipping box was delivered to my door on Thursday.
I didn't send it back right away because I needed to use the weekend to back
the machine up, so I shipped it Monday. On Tuesday afternoon, I logged into
the support site to see if they had received it, and it said they had shipped
it back already. This couldn't be I thought to myself, but sure as shootin'
a DHL van showed up in my driveway on Wednesday. Very impressive.
