After IBM UK had to admit the _earliest_ possible date for a mainboard replacement was December 15th it was surprisingly easy to get them to accept "either DOA or I just return it and take my money to Apple". 8-) > There should be 4 SODIMMS. Remove two to try booting with 64GB of RAM? I was hoping for some boot command magic to get things done. Removing/adding memory on current P series triggers 7 kind of demonic things on the next boot (including ComuTrace if it was turned on). > Can you not get to the BIOS by vigorously tapping F1 after power on, then > reset it to factory config? No. It's deader than Spock was as it is not even initializing the boot process (it is never leaving the ME's initialization stage). (Just in case anyone wants to try it at home: In the EFI boot variables you will find a _lot_ of strange stuff like "Lenovo Diagnostics" and similar things as disabled boot entries. Removing them caused the same kind of lock ups on my P70 (which got 9 replacement mainboards due to this nonsense)).
