My ThinkPad worked OK with Windows 2000 Pro. I installed
XP Pro and after it has been off for a while, it won't
power up. When I push the power button, I get a little
thump from the floppy drive, and a brief flash of the
hard disk access light, and then nothing.
I can fix the problem by unplugging the AC supply and
removing the battery for about 10 minutes.
So far, I have flashed the latest BIOS from IBM, obtained
all the IBM updates, and reinstalled XP Pro, with no
improvement.
Any ideas?
