My Thinkpad 380D doesn't boot anymore. The Thinkpad screen comes up and does
memcheck but then it beeps 3 times and nothing else happens. Anyone have
this problem before?

Are you sure it's three beeps of the same type?

How about one long beep and two short?

Regards,

James

Try here for info http://www.bioscentral.com/beepcodes/ibmbeep.htm ,
but may be serious :( one long and two short indicates "System board
failure; Video adapter problem; LCD assembly failure"
