tfflivemb2 Wrote Just curious, and I am sure that it is obvious, but did you boot the system with the mouse already attached? Yup! I turned off the system, plugged in the mouse, then powered up.

Is this the IBM Configuration program you are talking about? If so, did you try the "auto-disable" or "disable" setting (or both)? Yup, That's the one, and I tried all the settings. Is it possible to try the PS/2 mouse on another computer to verify that it is functional? Actually I tried two of the...

I've tried and tried to use a PS/2 mouse on my TP600X, but I can't get it to work, although a USB mouse works fine. I've followed the instructions to change the track point settings, but the mouse on the PX/2 port is never recognized. I've run all the PC Doctor diagnostics, and all passed, however I...

Yup. I shore did, and thanks a million.

YEEEEEEEHHAAAAAWWWWW!!! It's fixed, It's fixed, It's fixed. Did I mention that it's fixed? It was the F10 key after all. I took the cap off and pulled up on the little plastic doobie under it, and VOILA! problem solved. I was expecting to have to live with it the way it was, or start buying system ...

Thanks a million guys. That was very helpful, and both the link and the website are golden.

I'll check on that F10 key, and those around it, to see if any are stuck. Will get back if/when I fix the problem or have more trouble/questions.

Thanks guys for the responses. Replies as follows: 1. From a cold boot. I've even left the computer off for awhile, and then tried to get into the Easy Setup, but the 09 301 (and double beep) error occurs before the machine can go into Easy Setup. 2. I bought a brand new cmos battery from ebay, and ...

I've searched the forum, but can't find a post addressing my problem, so here goes. I have a TP600X model 2645-5FU that I've been trying to upgrade. I added 256MB RAM and installed Win XP and everything was going fine, then all of a sudden I began getting a POST error message when I tried to power u...
