Well, powerof your PC. Unplug all power cable. Then open the cabinet cover and find a battery in the motherboard. If you find it then remove it from motherboard and give one minute to resotre the bios. Set battery on motherboar with acurate polarity. You are done.

Hi, a typical problem with IBM. Try the Realtrek AC'97 sound driver, its free to download from a google search. The modem is a different problem, you can do a visual inspection of the device and do a google search for the driver with the serial code, or go to somewhere like the following link where you can download a driver detective:

Hello

Without a laptop model number, we can only give you general advice.

Does the laptop beep when you turn it on? If it does, the number of beeps will indicate what is wrong.

If it does not beep, there may be a power issue - try removing the battery and use the AC Adapter only. Also, try swapping out the power adapter if you can.

Here is a link lor Lenovo (they bought IBM laptop and desktop) general troubleshooting page...

First thing is to get an operating system cd. Then install that. Then go to IBM's website so that whatever drivers it doesn't download, you can downlad them and install them. The 3rd step is to install any programs that you want on your computer.

Sure--if it has a PCI-E slot.

you need to visit the IBM web site to download your appropriate diver under technical support section

Hello,

Contact with notebook repairing engineer. Might be coz of some short circuit, BIOS corruption or any malfunction of the hardware.

Check to see if the CD is an upgrade. If so, load an older OS first and then use the CD to upgrade.

Have you tried to power on with the ac power connected.
