One of my TP600s has been having trouble starting up lately. When I start
it up, it makes a series of very soft beeps (well, not really beeps, more
like soft thuds), and halts. When I pull the CMOS battery, and put it back
in, I have to change the time and date, restart, and it boots fine.
However, when I try to enter the Easy Setup (to run the diagnostic tests) by
holding F1 when I boot, it halts. The on/off switch does not work, and I
have to unplug it and remove the battery to get it to restart. Then the
process starts all over again. Any ideas? Should I try re-installing the
BIOS? Thanks in advance.
