| Help with t41 Wont boot PLZ help
Just the other day i was sitting there searching the internet when i closed the lid and it went into hibernation. I opened back up the lid and the "moon" symbol went off and all i got was a black screen. The fan spins up so does the hdd and the dvd-rom. The power light will also come on. This laptop is not covered by a warenty. Once every 2 times i restart it, it will beep once on shutdown. I have reinstalled the memory, also tryed to boot without memory.
I also tryed booting with and without the dvd-rom, hdd, and battery still with no diffrence in how it starts. Also when it boots I get no Hdd llight activity.
This is a Ibm T41 1.4ghz
256mb ram
Windows Xp Corp. SP2
Thank you for all your help
UPDATE: I held down the fn+F4 (sleep) and the ibm screen popped up so i let off and the screen was on doing nothing. so i restarted it and nothing happend.....
