[ltp] Thinkpad 770 will not boot

[Harry Mangalam]

Thanks Bill, interesting approach - never heard of this one before..  But no go.

Just sits there with cooling fan going (so the MB is getting power to SOME 
components), but no disk spinup, no power to eject a CD, no IBM THINKPAD splash 
screen, etc.  Seem that something is dead.  Maybe it's time to part it out for 
ebay..
