T23 hard drive

#1 Post by jimmy274 » Thu Feb 22, 2007 9:28 am

I've had a weird experience while rebooting my T23 - the hard drive shuts off, and for a second, an all-blue screen appears - something like a real blue screen, but with no text on it. It's not too bad, but it happens every time I reboot, and it's kinda disturbing since it looks like something's wrong.
I use WinXP SP2 with all Lenovo/IBM drivers and updates installed.
The hard drive powers up again somewhere during the POST.
Anyone gotta clue what this might be? I've had a T20 and a T22 before this one, and none of them had this.

don't worry about that it's just a colour stuck in the video buffer after windows clears it when shutting down.
At least windows is giving a nice blue one...i had a linux that was outputing garbage on the screen when shutting down, it was really nasty.

The hard drive thing, again, it's nothing to worry, it suppose to do that because it shuts down and on restart powers back up.If u have a desktop PC listen to the hard drives when you restart the pc from windows and you will hear them powering on after/before the bios shows up on the screen.
