When i bought it, any press of the Fn button, IBM Access, volume up/down 
resulted in immediate lock.
The problem appeared to be the IDE2 device, as the PS2 (the DOS IBM ThinkPad 
setup util) reported it. Then i made a boot floppy with it, booted with an
external USB floppy, and disabled IDE2,
after this everyting works ok: shutdown, keyboard light, volume control....

PS: the PS2 util can be found on the IBM website.
