    Hi, all!

    Somehow Im unable to log in with my old account, so I made a new one.

    So, I "accidentally" knocked my trusty old R400 with my palm right above the HHD where the right palmrest is, the screen isntantly froze and machine became unresponsive.
    I rebooted my laptop and got blank LCD as if it wasnt even powered and beep sequence - one short followed by three short followed by another three short beep and then again one short beep.

    Whats the translation of these beeps?

    Ok, remembered about excellent service manuals and found out that its either motherboard or RAM issue, took apart most of the laptop just for my pleasure and then reseated DIMM's and voila, it works now.
