My TP600 locks up to the point where I have to unplug everything and TAKE
OUT THE BATTERY in order to turn the damn thing off. It happens when I am
netting and I usually have a video conferencing program open so I wonder if
it is some combination of the mwave modem and streaming video. Anyone know
for real?
Btw where is the "reset switch"? If you mean the on-off switch on the left
side (on my machine) even THAT does absolutely nothing as does ctrl-alt-del
NOTHING unless i physically remove all power from the laptop. THEN i can
boot up again and get scandisk.
Any ideas on this one, mavens?
