    Sure; I see this screen every time I start my X201! :D

    Seriously now, does it beep at all? Depending on the number/type of beeping, you can check the BIOS Beep Codes to see where the problem might be.

    Edit: just noticed, does your HD indicator light up at all?

    check the USB connector and see whether it is broken or any of the pins are touching each other.
