Re: [Thinkpad] t40 usb2 enabled but xp still gives error message

Space bar not working? Anyway, my T23 has several cracks in the case, the
rubber is flaking off the metal covers over the modem and ram chips on the
bottom, the metal cage surrounding the ultrabay is broken, yet the laptop
still functions perfectly. I've heard of USB problems on a T41, though,
being fixed with a new system board.
