The computer then beeps three times and goes to a screen with a picture of a lock if I press any key three times I get three xxx and then a circle with a hand it looks like a cross walk sign not to walk. After that nothing. Any hints what is wrong. I googled the 8611 error and it is ibm error code a system bus error. Whatever that means. I gather that it might have something to do with the mouse or pointing device. Any ideas? Your help would be appreciated. Could it be a bad keypad?

All you can try to do is to remove all hardware you can, check all the connections, then try assembling the thing again. If that doesn't help you can use the PC as a paperweight, as it won't be worth the cost of repairs. 0 LVL 32 Overall: Level 32 Laptops/Notebooks 20 Hardware 17 Message Assisted Solution by:sparkmaker2007-03-12 Check this link out.

On one occasion, it went into a selftest routine, and the system board showed the following faults:- "DEV 086, ERR 22, and FRU 0010", no idea what that signifies....trackpoint again?Also, like my own machine, it just sort of siezes up when half way through the Memory test.I don't know what this signifies, but my own machine seems to work OK so I'm assuming it's not terminal!

Regarding the concluding post, I'm not sure what "worked g
