I/o devices do not respond to the computer. The screen and the IBM logo appears.

Try restarting your device by holding down the Power button. If your screen still fails to respond, back up your data to iTunes on a computer. While still connected to the computer, turn off your device by holding the Power button, and the Home button. Don't release either button yet. When the Apple logo appears, let go of the Power button, but not the Home button. Then your iPhone should show a picture of connecting to iTunes. Then you can set up your device through your computer on iTunes, and your phone should work fine.

When you start the Computer
Press "F8" key repeatedly after the IBM logo appears, but before the operating system logo appears.

then when menu appears press Down key and Select Safe Mode & Press Enter

If the "F8" key doesn't work, restart the computer and try pressing the "F11" key repeatedly.

Since you are getting the IBM Thinkpad Logo it is confirmed that you have no hardware error. All you need to do is restore the operating system. most of the IBM laptop has an inbuilt recovery option. just press the access IBM/ Thinkvantage (blue button) immediately after pressing the power button and follow the screen..

hope this helps.

Do the following:

1. Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes.
2. Hold down "Home" button on the device.
3. While holding down the "home" button, hold down "Sleep/Wake" button.
4. Hold down the two buttons until the Apple logo appears on screen.
5. As soon as the Apple logo appears on screen, release the "Sleep/Wake" button.
6. Keep holding the "Home" button until the iTunes logo and the USB lead picture is shown on screen
7. Release the "Home" button then follow instructions within iTunes.
   

Restart your computer. When you see the first screen you will have 2 options. One is a BIOS setup. It's either F8 or F1. Once you get into your BIOS (screen will be mostly blue). There will be a boot option screen. Make sure you chance the #1 device to CD-Rom.

change the ram

Hi...there,

It's seems your Thinkpad need a new inverter, due to a backlight inverter burnt out. Get a new one or repaired it. Good lucks!

Try this:

Press and hold F1; then power on the computer. Hold
F1 until the “Easy-Setup” menu appears.
If you have set a password, the “Easy-Setup” menu appears
after you enter the password.

no worries..when you boot up, press F2..before the IBM logo appears, and then you'll see the bios password option on that screen..change it there, and you may see magique.
