IBM T30 (2366-86U) Not Booting

#1 Post by LDP » Tue Mar 02, 2010 7:00 pm

Hi,

I have IBM T30, which was working fine till last week. Recently it started giving trouble, like when i move the laptop, the system used to freeze. Only Cold boot used to get it back to operational. Now it completely stopped working. i dont see thing after the IBM LOGO (press F1 for BIOS etc...).

I removed memory & heard memory beep sound. Do you think the mother is bad?

Any suggestions would he helpful.

Thanks
LDP.

We sincerely hope not!
But your T30 may suffer from a loose graphics CPU.
If you hook it it up to an external monitor, can you see anything on that external screen?

The system is not even booting. No harddisk light glowing no sound. I tried to reinstall windows OS and that was also halted. The hard disk is fine (tested with another laptop).

I guess it is motherboard then. But there any way to easy repair this or i just leave it :(
