Peter,
Could be loose connection between the video cable and the LCD screen. You can try reconnecting the cable on the back of the LCD screen but it means you have to disassemble the display panel. Also, try reconnecting cable on the inverter board.
You can do that. Connect external monitor to the VGA port on your laptop. Turn on the laptop. If there is no video on the external monitor, use Fn+F7 keys to switch the video output from internal to external.

I have an IBM I series 1300 laptop, I just replaced the hard drive in it but have no recovery CD’s for it. I did install windows on it but I could really use a drivers recovery CD. I can download the drivers form the lenovo site but it’s not working out, if anyone has one they can make an image of and send my way or if they can burn me one and mail it my way, I’d pay, I’m tryign to get this going for someone and am about out of time and well beyond out of patience.

Hi, got a IBM T23 and recently the monitor is fading in and out…. If the display does not return I can move the top around until the displays returns.. it there an easy solution rather than a replacement? or using the laptop as a base and attaching an external monitor?
Thanks.

Could be bad memory module. Try reseating memory.

hi, my laptop A21m, does not start, when i press the on button it makes a click noise, i think it’s that of the floppy drive. damn sure infact. the battery charge is on. and the drive light flashes for the duration of the click. which is approx 100 of a sec. i’ve removed the harddrive and it’s the same story with or without. Pls does someone have any ideas??? i know its an old laptop, but my gf uses it for the internet.
Kind regards,
Pin

Michael,
You can test laptop memory with Memtest86+ and test the hard drive with Hitachi drive fitness test.
