IBM Thinkpad Error Beep Code 3-1-4-3
I am working on an IBM Thinkpad T43 type 2687, that froze up yesterday during routine work and now will not boot. Just beep error codes 3-1-4-3. I have looked all over the net for this code and nothing is listed however others have had the same pattern. I removed the memory module in the back and still get the same beep code. Not that it matters but running Windows XP Pro SP3.

If you can't get into the BIOS, it is most likely the motherboard. A memory-only error would give you an identifiable beep code, but you don't have that. Less so for the T43 than the T41 and T42 before it, T4x machines were susceptible to bad joints/surface cracks/cold solder joints in their motherboards. ..... Thinkpads_user
