    After upgrading to a T9600 in a M17x, unit will not post. When turned on the fans go to full briefly and then the screen goes white. Both the scroll lock and numlock keys blink in unison and the capslocks light stays lit. Please Help! I have no idea what happened.

    EDIT
    Disassembled unit and it turns out the main LCD cable was disconnected. Sorry for jumping the gun. Please close this thread.

    Unplug it and pull the battery out for a few minutes and see if that fixes it.
