help needed to recover thinkpad from hibernation please

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

On startup (when it's switching on) try pressing repeatedly when it starts
up, that might give u a menu, go for 'Last known good configuration'

- if that fails, try , that's *supposed* to load the laptop into 'safe mode'
regardless of what state it was in prior to hibernation; worth a go!

By the way, you'll obvioulsy have to remove power - ensuring the laptop is
completely powered off, before powering on and trying what i've said... i
know that may seem obvious, but don't want you sitting there gaining
arthritis perssing F5 for 20 hours.

Happened to my cousin...true story. Now writes with her ear
