Thats right, its a lot of work, but I think that is where your problem is. 1) your thinkpad worked at one point; 2) you dropped it; 3) it works, but now overheats. Given that, since you say that the fan works, that isn't the issue. A overheating CPU will do all sorts of bad stuff, and that overheating is commonly caused by a) no fan, b) the heat dissapation system not working. Thus I think the heatsink needs to be investigated. Sorry! Its a pain to have to do this. Ray, are you reading this?
