IBM ThinkPad T30 2366 PC Notebook

Thinkpad T30 will not "Quick Boot" (Extended Memory...



I have a T30 (2367) with 512mb. I have 'Quick Boot' enabled, and 'Extended
Memory Test' disabled, yet still it sits there at the POST and counts all
the way up to 510mb :(

When I first got this machine (used), it did this. I entered the CMOS Setup,
did something - possibly turn off Quick Boot then back on and then it POSTed
nice and quick. Since then I've replaced the Mini-PCI 802.11b card with an
Atheros 802.11a/b/g card, and have updated the BIOS and Embedded Controller
Firmware. It now won't Quick Boot again.

If I hit F1 to enter CMOS Setup, it bypasses the Extended memory test - but
I want it to do this on a normal boot. It's already a P.I.T.A that I have to
hit Esc when it whines about me having a nonstandard Netword (wireless) card
in there.

Can anybody shed any light?

Cheers,

Carl

Pull the wireless card and see if it reverts back to its old self. Its possible you have an incompatibility issue regarding the "non standard wireless".. If this doesnt help you can try flashing the BIOS but make sure the batterys fuly charged and its als
