I have an X22 that won't boot -just beeps once then two sets of three beeps, then one last beep (all short, and the same pitch).

I've replaced the motherboard and the LCD cable, and it still has the same problem. Has anyone seen this

That beep indicates a memory issue.

You Da man. - I pulled the mem module, and it came right up. Thanks!

How did you know? Is there a table of beeps and their meaning?

That beep code has been around for quite a while on ThinkPad laptops and I've seen thousands of them... I'm sure there is a table floating around out there too though...
