What model ThinkPad is it?

You should be able to press the blue 'access IBM' button on the keyboard during bootup to get into the pre-desktop area. From there you can run PC Doctor, which will test all the components in the ThinkPad.
Homebuilt PC: AMD Athlon XP (Barton) @ 1.47 GHz; nForce2 Ultra; 1GB RAM; 80GB HDD @ 7200RPM; ATI Radeon 9600; Integrated everything else!

Very little beyond upgraded (735 - 745) processors in the T42. And some T42s have the fingerprint reader.
