i have a thinkpad R40 my hard drive is starting to make funny noises ever since i got sp3 for xp im getting pissed cause i think my drive is almost bad >:O
i have the same laptop only mine has developed a posing issue. it will post and boot when it wants to and other times it turns on and does a backlight issue or like a dead or damaged screen where u see more backlight on the sides of the laptop screen then not like u just powered it down. its time i retire it or find a way to fix it
wanna fix it? i know how, hold F1 BEFORE turning it on, once u turn it on keep holding it, it will take u to ur bios (it may take more than 1 try). then go to config, then intialize, select OK, then exit, then restart, and then OK. it will reset with no problems! i did it today.
