    My Libretto 70CT doesn't appear to be posting, all I'm getting out of it is a quick blink of the hard drive light as thats powered up.
    No light on the screen, no text on the screen, and nothing on the external monitor, BUT the external monitor's showing a green light therefore is getting some sort of sync. I know its got a quirky BIOS too- external monitor probably needs enabling first though the windows interface.
    I've reseated all possible components, and whilst reassembling noticed that the power button was intermittant, and preferred to work whilst the screen ribbon was being manipulated.
    I'm suspecting the ribbon or connector going up to the top assembly is at fault here, but I'm looking for a seccond opinion.
    Thanks :)
