Does anybody know how to open an IBM thinkpad 770? for some reason my monitor wont turn on and my hdd wont turn on. all i hear is the cooling fan inside it. Not quite sure what's wrong so i want to open it up. i tried unscrewing everything, removing the RAM cover but nothing comes off. help!!!
Opening the laptop will compeltely void the warranty. Give me your information and I will email my tech guy at IBM.
IMB Thinkpad 770, will power on, however hard drive and monitor remain off. All that turns on is the cooling fan inside. I can't really try anything since I don't know what's wrong. lol
What were you doing when the laptop 'died'? It's difficult to know what the problem is with the information you are providing. Does your laptop emit any beep codes, does it beep at all? If you decide to take it apart, your best bet is to refer to the original manufacturer's manual. Do a search for 'Thinkpad 770 manaul' or 'Thinkpad 700 pdf manual' on Yahoo, and see what you can find.
I was defragging and it froze. i shut it off and turned it back on, nothing happened. nothing beeps, as i said the only thing that I see powered is the fan
Not an expert but I think your motherboard is the cause I recently had the same problem and thought it was a hard drive issue but I was able to remove my hardrive from the laptop and retrieve the data so I recon it must have something to do with the motherboard
