Dead Laptop

[takichan]

Today is not a winner day for me. My laptop will not start up. It's a ThinkPad T20 (kinda old), and just suddenly, it will do nothing but show the ThinkPad logo and doesn't seem to post, either. It simply won't move past this point, and won't boot. If anyone has suggestions on how to fix this, please let me know.

Thanks~

I think it is the hard drive. I managed to get it to start up, and to say it's moving slowly is an understatement. With Skype running, I can barely do ANYthing else now, including web browsing. As long as it lasts until Friday night, I'm happy enough I guess. Although it will be sad to see it die. It's been around for years and has served me well! The new apartment will make it less needed.

It's weird, every time I take it someplace, it works great when I get there, and has increasingly worse problems when I bring it back home and try to start it up, such as the battery going a bit weird, or this.

Ah well...
