Post subject: thinkpad t30 monitor dead - blind flash? |
 |
|
I have an IBM Thinkpad which makes all the right noises and lights but the screen does not light up (there are 2 status lights on the screen panel which do work so I know the screen is getting power)
I am guessing that maybe there is a problem with the bios but I cannot find a way to blind flash a thinkpad. Is there one?

FN + F* key that has a monitor icon in blue on it doesn't work? Tried to attach an external monitor?
