I have the notebook mentioned above. When I took it on, the thing rarely booted up and gave several blinks at caps lock when attempting to boot.
I replaced a faulty power supply, and a dead battery, and I formatted the Windows Vista OS and replaced it with Windows 7 Ultimate.
I updated BIOS etc.
Now the laptop works much better. However, on startup, caps lock blinks once, and the the notebook boots as normal. It usually works fine, but 20% of the time, at least, it may knock off. Usually when I press the power button a few minutes later, system resume brings it back to where it was.
Anyone know what it needs? A hard reset maybe? Because if it was CPU failure, I doubt it would power on at all?
