Feb 3, 2005 3:08PM PST

Got a IBMT41P and suddenly it shuts down to black screen while using it. I tried the following:

- boot up with windows system cd
result: full installation and possible to request a restorepoint. second day, it went black.

- external screen
no result

- boot up in dockingstation
no result

- boot up and pressing ACCESS IBM
no result

symptoms: while i start it up, it shows the numlock and capslock lights and then they shut off and only symbols ligtning is: battery and Z in a O. Dont know what that is.

Did anyone else have the same problems with IBM?

Please help me - i was without a machine since new year...
