Sound like the videocard is bad or possibly a bad ram stick.Check it with an external monitor.If it shows video on it ,the card is ok.If not the videocard is bad.If it shows video, the ram may be bad or the connection to the motherboard is incomplete or the plug is bad.Also unplug the HDD then try to start it up.If the bios is readable the HDD is causing a conflict.

Have Thinkpad t41 running XP Professional. Trying to connect to netzero dialup. Get a 633 modem or other device already in use. Not sure if this is a problem but the Ethernet indicator light is always solid yellow with nothing connected to the port. Have another lap top that I can connet to net zero using the same phone cable. No Ethernet lights are on. Netzero properties shows the Agere Systems AC 97 modem is using Com 3. When I look at device manager it only shows LPT1 & Com 1. The computer that connect also only shows LPT 1 & Com 1, so not sure thats a problem. Any help appreciated! Don
