Hi there,

[Back from vacation,] I could isolate the problem. The docking station
"bends" the TP in such a way that it works. When the laptop lays flat
on a desk, it doesn't work. When it is docked, slightly raising (by
less than 1cm) either of the two corners in the back is enough to make
it freeze.

So I have two quick questions (and little hope :-/) :

1_ Is it enough evidence to prove that the mother board is faulty, or
could it be something else?

2_ Is there a way to acquire another MoBo?
