Hello Everyone,

        I am still working on getting all of my Thinkpad 1420i problems solved.
I have all ready sent it back to IBM once to have the USB humm fixed,
and now one month later, it looks like it will be going back again soon.

        If anyone has any info about these problems, or how to fix them, please
let me know as soon as possible.

1) Many times when I turn on the unit I see the screen flash "Check Sum
Error"... What does this mean?

2) Many times whem I am using the unit, it totally locks up, and the
screen goes black. It will not respond to anything other than a hard
reset (hold power button for 5 sec.).

3) The hard disk has a sort of "click" sound every few seconds, when not
active. I have been told this is to keep the heads moving in different
places. ??...?...

        

        Thanks for any help on the above.

Jim
