Hello,
I just dug up my old IBM Thinkpad R31, only to discover that when I turn it on, the following happens:
I hear all of the fans spin up, the HD green light stays lit, and the power light lights up green. Besides that, nothing. No BIOS, no nothing. I think I heard some slight HD noise from seeking, but laptop hard drives are so quiet it's sometimes difficult to tell when you have all the fans blowing in the same 'top.
Any ideas as to what I should do? I'm a huge laptop n00b, never taken one apart before ... (desktop PCs are another story). I'd appreciate any help you guys could offer.
Thanks!
