I have IBM ThinkPad 600 notebook. On the start it shows error 8611. Then I press “Esc” computer restart and then I press “F1″ and it boots normally. But it is very slow to repeat this procedure every time I when start the laptop. I can’t download Hardware Maintenance Manual for ThinkPad 600 from the link above? Can you tell me what error 8611 is and how can be repaired?
Thanks,
Branislav

Venuvendra,
Reseat the hard drive, just remove it from the laptop and put it back, maybe it’s just a loose connection. Try again after you reseated the drive. You can test the hard drive with Hitachi’s drive fitness test. Download this utility and run an advanced test, see if tit can find any problem with the drive.

Sumit Solomon,
Are you sure there is no image on the screen? Maybe the image is on the screen but it’s very dim? Look very closely at different angles, you even can use a flashlight.
If you can see a very faint image then most likely you have a faulty screen inverter. Last week I created a guide for replacing inverter board on an IBM notebook.

[...] It’s possible that newer BIOS version has a fix for the backlight problem. If it still doesn’t help, I would try replacing the inverter board. You have good chances that it will fix the backlight problem. Fortunately, new inverters for IBM ThinkPad T30 notebooks are cheap. I just searched on eBay for “ThinkPad T30 inverter” and found that the price starts from $15, very inexpensive! [...]
