Hey all, my mum does charity work. someone generously supplied a
laptop, the Thinkpad 600e. But we cant sell anything unless we know
it works. So I am having a look at it.
I switch it on, and it often spurts out errors numbers, which checking
on the website, one of them is regarding the keyboard, and the other
claims that date and time isn’t set. so you hit OK (you can press
cancel. Eitherway…) it asks to set the date and time. you set it, and
hit okay, then i loads for a little bit and then brings up this blue
screen on a wallpaper (desktop picture) of the thinkpad logo tiled.
The blue screen says in very big simbols: Off > On
I can’t do anything. My mouse cursor disappears, and it just waits on
that screen. I think suggesting to switch the computer off because
the way to switch it off and on is by sliding a small bar on the side,
forwards once, then letting it spring back into place.
Holding F1 at startup brings about a self test program. I ran it and
everything seems to be okay.
I want to be able to install Windows on it.
How can I do this.
Thank you all
