Solve : Bad IBM Thinkpad? |
|
Answer» My granddaughter has a IBM Thinkpad and the screen is black. When you hit the power button to TURN it on it just beeps once then pauses then beeps THREE times pauses then beeps three more times and pauses and beeps one more time but there is never any thing on the screen. can anyone give me a clue as to how to trouble shoot this? sounds like something got jarred loose.are there access panels on the bottom of the laptopThis site appears useful for IBM Thinkpad users: ThinkWiki one beep, three short beeps, three short beeps, one beep If the memory module(s) aren't permanently attached to the motherboard, I'd remove them, ensure the connectors are clean, and then reseat them. Remove all power (and take the battery out) before doing this. Take proper Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) precautions whenever working with sensitive electrical components (this includes memory modules and/or chips). Hopefully you have or can get the appropriate User or Reference Manual for that COMPUTER from the IBM/Lenovo website. It might list BIOS beep codes SPECIFIC for that model and discuss where the memory is located and how to add more or replace the existing modules.I just WANT to thank dahlarbear :)for the advice and the site to check. I new that the beeps had to be some kind of a trouble code but I did not know were to find it. Thank you again for your help. And my granddaughter thanks you. Hilo |
