Hi there
I have a lombard 333mhz and it seems now that every time i want to use
the machine, i have to press the reset switch round the back first,
before pressing the power button. Otherwise it will just sit there with
a black screen.
Someone suggested it might be the pram battery, while another said it
was a common problem with Lombards running 10.3. Does anyone else had
trouble turning on their Lombard laptop?
That sounds like a bad L2 cache. If you'll check the G-books list, I've
got a thread on there asking if there are any issues with the Lombards,
because I've got one coming in. I remember reading about this one, and
I'm enclosing that message.
Quoted from David Rodriguez, G-Books List:

Hope this helps,
