I did, last night.  I have a W500 running OpenBSD which is getting
better ACPI support.  That doesn't work yet, but its close.  Thinking
about things, it dawned on me to see how old my bios was, and its
pretty ancient.

I got the iso image and roasted it, and booted it following the
usual directions.  It never booted after that, and a call to ez-serve
got me into the queue for a box to send it off to the hospital.

This is the first time I've managed to brick a thinkpad.  What will
happen when it gets to the repair depot?  Do they have a test jig
that will fix this, or is the system board trashed?

All in all, very distrurbing.   Does this happen often?
