T30 still wont boot.

Just wondering if sitting my thinkpad on top of a home theatre sub woofer could be causing boot up problems described in my Dec. 27 post?

no s@#&!

I really hope you're joking. Because if you're not, I'm sorry.

Subwoofers and large speakers effect computers and computer monitors because of the high powered magnets they house.

With laptops, I dont think it effects the screen being that it is LCD however the harddrives are still harddrives despite their size.

A visit with a high powered magnet will for sure leave your harddrive (and hopefully nothing else), totally screwed.

If its the far left light that does nothing, I can assume that it is the harddrive, find a used computer store with a working 2 gig or somthing to test this theory before buying a decent replacment.
