[LUNI] Laptop makes a funny noise

[Jay Strauss]

Hi,

I have an old IBM thinkpad that was still running fine with Ubuntu,
until my 2.5 y/o kicked it off the end table (my fault for leaving it
there).

Now it does not boot.   I makes a funny, really high pitched beep
(like dog frequency range :) & click noise that seems to be coming
from the center of the motherboard.  Please NOTE there is NO hard
drive in the unit (at this point, I've completely disassembed it
looking for loose connections or unseated things).

Anyone have any clues?

If not I'll probably buy a used one on ebay for $150, or if I can find
one for parts for less.

Thanks
Jay
