I have a ThinkPad A-31, was watchin a movie through s-vid cable and it hard locked. I powered it off and it will not boot, not even to the bios screen. When attached to a monitor, the monitor makes a static sound as if almost getting a signal and shutting down. I cannot find a flash rom and am out of warranty. Any Suggestions?

thanks, one thing I've noticed, the HD will not spin up but the CD rom drive sounds like it is spinning up, the power supply could still be the issue ?

Lots of years in IBM Thinkpads suggests that:
1st: Try to see BIOS config status!
2nd: In BIOS see VGA properties!
3rd: With a Win98se Boot disk make ( if he arrives
there) a scandisk!
4th: Probably you generated a system mismatch by
low fixed memory or something around that!
5ft: Go to an IBM expert!
6th: IBM is the most solid and reliable notebook
you will ever find (!) so, if there´s a
conflict, had better avoiding expensiviest
further damages, to find an IBM Thinkpad
expert near you!
7th: For all you say, im deeply convicted is only
a system conflict!
Good Luck!
