    Can anyone translate the meaning of two flashing icons, the "A" & the Lock?

    My CF-28 was just frozen (no response to the touchpad or keys) when that happened.

    What is it trying to tell me, please?

    I'm not sure what a picture would do.... You would need a movie if anything.

    <From Twilight Zone>... "Picture, if you will...."

    Ken... Excellent point! Doc... Try removing your RAM first... then WiFi card, then LAN/Modem card. Also... You might try taking out the battery, unplugging it and letting the capacitors drain for 10-15 minutes... Then try it again.

    Please keep us posted as to what you are trying and if it works.

    Good luck!
