    On the off chance that someone could help.


    I’ve an old Samsung laptop here and I wanted to try a Tiny11 install on it to see if it would work and maybe be useful.

    however when I tried it won’t boot. The fan comes on, I hear the hard drive make a sound but it just sits there, blank screen and fan running.

    I opened and reseated ram, tried booting with each individual 2gb but no good.

    Reseated the hard drive and optical drive.

    checked connections to the board.

    changed the bios battery.

    nothing !


    is there anything else I could try before moving on ??
