Sounds like memory. Do you have extra memory in the expansion slot? If so, pull it and try booting.

Have access to a spare power supply? It would be something to rule out.

Not much else to check with a laptop. I'd pull that extra SODIMM if there is one. I believe the onboard RAM is 64MB so if you have anything more than that showing up, you know you go an expansion module.

Good luck man.

Thanks for the offer, but not much for IM.

The memory expansion slot is usually a small flap on the bottom of the machine, usually held on with just one screw.

Also, if you have a removable floppy / CDRom, pull them. Maybe one's shorted.

good luck
