688776 2008-07-14 08:56:00 Got this old Lenovo laptop with no Model Number! When the Power button is pressed, no POST but a series of 'short' beeps; I have to press and hold the power button to turn it OFF. Sometimes, the following error messages appears on the screen:

Booting GM Edition Default Menu

kernel (h00) /boot/gmb/memdisk.gz

error 16: File not found

press any key to continue


When I press any key, nothing happens, but keep on beeping.

Any cure?

688778 2008-07-14 09:09:00 Try reinstalling something on it Speedy Gonzales (78)
688779 2008-07-14 09:17:00 It has got a stick of RAM. The keyboard seems to be not responding, so I plug in an external usb kb and managed to get into the BIOS setup without any beeps. Changed to boot from CD and inserted an XP boot disk but half-way through while coping files, it started to beep again and everything halted.

Maybe I shouldn't spend any more time with this junk.:badpc:

Scan scan it for errors / format it

Or send it here, I'll have it
