[Thinkpad] A31P mYSTERIOUSLY hANGS

Hi all,

I've got an A31P, 3 years old, and as of a couple of weeks ago, it suddenly
hangs. I thought it might have been a scratched hard drive, so I Ghosted
the old to a new drive and still have the same problem.

The hangs occurs when there's movement to the machine. No flicker
beforehand, it just freezes where it was.

I've removed all daughter cards and it still hangs.

I spent the morning tearing it down to the mother board, thinking it might
have been a loose connector. I didn't really see what could have been loose
because all peripherals are surface mounted on the mother board. I put it
all back together again and still have the problem. (But was greatly
relieved that it booted up again! I was afraid of the Humpty-Dumpty
syndrome!)

Anyone else run into this problem?

TIA
