t41 starting issues

#1 Post by hansolo669 » Mon Oct 12, 2009 4:58 pm

right now my t41, soon to be tr541(trough a r51 motherboard swap) is having difficulty strating. for example it wont start after being shut down unless i take out the bat and remove the power, is this keyboard/power button related or will the motherboard swap fix it?

btw, does anyone know if aaa sold his r51 motherboard yet?

It could be loose GPU related. Apply pressure to the left center part of the palm rest and see if you can now power up.

i know for a fact that it has a loose gpu(main/only working laptop :cry: ), but the thing is if i shut it down using the power button/the shut down dialog in windows(and don't disconnect the battery/power) it wont start from the power button, no fans, no hd, no lights, nothing. i want to know if this is a separate issue as i don't want to buy a (r50/51) motherboard and find out that it was the...**insert part here**... because than its just a waste of money :|
