Hi listers, I recently received two 2400c laptops in a trade; both have problems. #1 Once chimes & starts running the hard drive when powered, but the LCD screen does not come on. I tried switching LCDs with another one that I know works, but the result is the same. Also, the reset switch does not restart the laptop. I also switched the swtich from a known working 2400c. Other than some motherboard problem, could the LCD not working be from some other source? #2 The other 2400c does not do the startup chime when powered, ever, but when powered it starts up the hard drive and the LCD comes on. But only a white screen is displayed, and I never see a cursor. Tried using an external source for the OS, but no change. I am appreciative in advance of any help, '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' K.
