   Yes, I still have the T40. 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.
