Infact, I ordered a new palmrest for it when       I accidentally cracked the bottom right corner of the laptop, about 8       years ago. I've had the T40 open a few times. Meanwhile, I've misplaced       the replacement palmrest. It has a genuine OEM 9-cell battery. I ready       to work on it.. if only I could find the palmrest. :(              The fan probably needs complete replacement. But I can get it going by       forcing air into the exhaust to spin the blades *before* powering it up.              I'd like to retire the machine as a off-line storage Spotify player       connected to my hifi.              --- Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 (Windows/20100228)        * Origin: nntp://rbb.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/360.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 19/10 90/1 103/705 154/10 203/0 221/0 1 6 360 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/426 452 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/854       SEEN-BY: 317/3 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/81 120 633/280 712/848 770/1       PATH: 221/360 1 280/464 229/426           |
