Hello Francesco, I think the heat sink got moved when the laptop was dropped. Since you know how to open it, perhaps it would be good to do that again, and feel the top of the heatsink. It should be pretty hot, and the air from the fan should be warm, too. You probably need more heatsink "paste" that goes between the CPU and heatsink. I don't know if there is a special kind for the thinkpad or not. But perhaps just adjusting it would help? --STeve Andre' _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
