My T40p is laying dormant for a while. It needs a new cpu fan,
and probably some cleaning in the side vent. Sometimes it fails
to boot with a "Fan warning.." message. Sometimes I can just
blow gently through the side vent to force the fan to spin for
a few seconds.. and then the boot works. But the fan still
remains a bit noisy.
The plan is to dedicate the machine as my Spotify server
connected to my hifi. I love a room-filling sound from my
floor speakers. I would take the laptop to my shop to access
the DSL, fetch the tunes I want, and then play things "offline"
when I'm home.
