I picked up two Ibm's today in a lot of laptops....1 is a R40...I get nothing from it...no beep codes, no nothing.
second one is a R32...Lcd is missing, but it does slowly go into bios after which it brings some error message that flashes so quick I cant read it all...something about a PCI error?
No harddrive or carrier in either.
$40.00 each plus shipping......these are to be considered for parts only!

The R40 will not power on at all if there is no RAM in it. I found this out when I got my R40 off ebay for $60.00. Once RAM is in it, it will power on and screen will display IBM ThinkPad logo and got to No Operating system page.

Does the lights come on?
Also try to leave on the AC Adapter for a day. I had a IBM ThinKPad 380Z that didn't do nothing and left on AC and it powered on fine the next day.

Bump..for what? Are you trying to sell these? If so forum rules state that you must list an asking price. If you are looking for technical help then you've posted this in the wrong forum.

Sorry....my bad.
How about $40.00 each plus shipping for the R40 and the R32.
The 760 is free...just pay for shipping.
