That means that the data is corrupted somehow. It could be a damaged or bady written CD/DVD, or it could be data corruption on your hard drive, depending where the program is.
If it's on the hard drive, reinstall it. If it's the CD/DVD, you will need to get a new one, most likely.

Your limited with the T20 series, the biggest you can go is 1ghz. Try the Pentium M chip, make sure that it's the same mhz (frequency) that's in it now, the board frequency matches the processor frequency. (either a 100 mhz or 133 mhz, you can tell by what memory it uses PC100 or PC133)

Hi Yamato,

It is possible that the battery has been so depleted that it gobbles up all the power from the charger/adapter and leaves nothing for the laptop to use. Perhaps what you can do are:
1. try and charge the battery at least overnight with the laptop off;
2. use the adapter/charger only and remove the battery from the laptop.

Hope this be of help. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

reinstall an operating system

I think its an intel P3 socket 370.

If you don't know the username OR passwords to get on the corporate laptop, download a software called Ophtcrack (sp?).  It will give you all logon passwords and usernames for the laptop.

Also another possibility is to load one of the graphical Linux OS's available on the market.  Load the new OS on a cd, they press F12 to enter into the boot device menu, and select CD drive.  You might want to try Umbuntu (Windows-like Linux OS)

Good luck!

hi dear

press Fn+Shift

try that ok

It is unlikely to be the cmos battery as there are signs [music] that your laptop is booting - shine a light into the screen if you can see an image but it is very dark then it is likely that the screen backlight is not working. If this is the case the most likely causes are a faulty inverter or a faulty screen cable - both can be obtained as a kit quite cheaply on ebay if you have the ability to fit them.

Go through the setup menu and set the numlock option to off. You will need to hit F1if I remember correctly to get to the setup.

So, this is a new computer you are trying to add to your router? I hope you have configured your wireless router for encryption. If you haven't you should, or evil people will read your transmissions. If you cant find the router key, you can reset the router back to default, (sometimes the router has a pinhole which resets it to defaults, go to Netgear to get info on how to set up an encrypted connection for your model (each model has its own default setttings, which Netgear can tell you--unless you still have its manual; then use windows to set up your wireless network. Hope that takes care of it for you. It is also possible that you can use windows wireless setup for usuing one of your computers as a wireless port, instead of your router--you might bypass the mess that way. But do find out whether it is encrypted. Good luck

Is it that the key is jammed down and won;t surface, or is it that it does not respond when pressed?

Dear DLYENBAI,
The error 0175 which IBM describes as a system card problem.

Their solution is given in http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/s...ocid=MIGR-44186

Just read this accordingly.

If you have done a clean install and still have a blue screen I would test the harddrive to make sure it is not failing if that passes I would then do a memory test.

Sorry I just noticed the specs for your comp are in the thread title. These laptops are far too old to play any games that were made in the last 5 years well.

I don't belie there is any fix for this problem and support for this product ended years ago. Sorry but that laptop is just too old to do what you are asking of it.

The first thing you want tod o is to determine the problem. Itt's probably the backlight on you screen.

To check this hold you lap top up to a very bright light, but don't allow any glare onto he screen, turn it on, You should see the shadow images of the stuff you computer normally does. If this happens( I'm 90% sure it will) proceed to next step.

Try pressing the brightness adjusting feature of those lamps, this is usually done with some combination of the Fn key and F7 or F8 (you should see a blue light bulb symbol in the corner of one of these keys.) if this doesn't work proceed to next step.

go buy CCFL tubes (there little diode like lights) If you are unsure about taking you laptop apart don't risk this, follow instructions in link to change back lights.

If this stuff doesn't work, aggghhh who am I kidding. This WILL work.

I assume no responsibility for you messing up your or any one elses laptop while trying to follow these instructions.

if you are hearing beep codes you can repost it here... anyway probably the problem is not in your power options... try removing your RAM modules and use an eraser to clean contact points the use a non-static brush to clear the dirts of the modules... securely firm the RAM and try booting up you unit...

rank me if this helps...

It's a dreadful way to start a day - you press the power button on your computer and nothing happens. Do not fear because all may not be lost! Follow these simple steps to determine why your computer won't turn on.

Note: It is very important to troubleshoot any issue beginning with the most likely and easily testable problem so be sure to follow these steps in order.
Difficulty: Average
Time Required: Anywhere from 10 minutes to a few hours or more depending on why the computer won't turn on
Here's How:

As silly as it may sound, the number one reason why a computer won't turn on is because it wasn't turned on! Before starting a sometimes time consuming troubleshooting process, make sure you've turned on every power switch and power button associated with your computer:
Power button/switch on the front of the computer's case.
Power button/switch on the front and/or back of the monitor.
Power switch on the power supply on the back of the computer.
Power switch on the power strip or surge protector (if you have one).

Verify that the power supply voltage switch is correctly set. If the input voltage for the power supply does not match the correct setting for your country, your computer may not power on.

Check for loose computer and monitor power cable connections. A loose or unplugged power cable is one of the top reasons why a computer doesn't turn on.

Perform a "lamp test" to verify power is being provided. Your computer isn't going to turn on if it's not getting power so you need to make sure that the power source is working properly.

A damaged power supply could be preventing the computer from being properly powered.

Do a quick test of the power supply by holding your hand behind the power supply fan located at the rear of the case. If the power supply is working, you should feel air from within the case blowing against your hand. If not, you may need to replace the power supply.

Tip: Is the power light on the front of the computer's case on? If you've turned the power switch on but the light is off, this is another good indication that the power supply is the cause of this issue.

Over time, internal components and the cables that connect them can wiggle loose which can often times result in a computer unable to power on. Try reseating the following and then try to power on the computer again:
Reseat the internal cables
Reseat the memory modules
Reseat the video card
Reseat other expansion cards

Reseating the CPU may also be necessary but should only be attempted if the reseating of all other components is not successful. This is due to the fact that this process is a little more involved and can run a small risk of damage to the CPU. This isn't a big concern if you're careful, so don't worry!

Check for causes of electrical shorts in the computer case. This is often the cause of the problem when the computer powers on for a second or two but then powers off completely.

Most monitors have a small light next to the power button that can change between various colors. If the screen is blank, this light is your main source of information about the monitor.

If this light is not on at all, double-check the power switch and connections (Steps 1, 2 and 3) and also make sure the monitor cable is securely plugged in to the video card port on the back of the computer case. If the light is still off, replace the monitor. If it comes back on, try starting your computer again - a loose or unplugged monitor cable may have been the issue all along.

An amber or yellow power light simply means that the monitor is not receiving any information from the computer. In and of itself, this doesn't tell us much.

On the other hand, if the light is amber or yellow, the computer power light is on, and the hard drive is active (making familiar sounds and the hard drive activity light on the computer case is blinking), the computer is probably starting normally but the video card is not sending information to the monitor. Replace the video card.

Beep codes (see Step 11) usually sound when a video card has malfunctioned but this is not always the case.

Is your computer making a beeping sound? Sometimes a computer will turn on just enough to play a series of beeps from the speakers.

These beep codes play in particular sequences and represent a specific problem that your computer is having. Troubleshoot the beep code to figure out what it's saying and then service the computer as necessary.

Let us know how things turn out and don?t forget to rate the posting.

Error 00174 is a configuration related indicating the bios/cmos settings are incorrect. This usually occurs when the cmos battery is in need of replacement.

Get that battery replaced.

Good luck!
