I quickly built up the Super Lombard last night; mostly using the parts from the 400Mhz model, and using the keyboard, RAM and HD from the other mess of a notebook.

It boots, all good, reinstalled 8.6. Turned it on today and when you plug it in, the green light turns on and it attempts to start up (hard disk, fan) without me pressing any power button. I turned it on properly, chimes, grey screen - and that's no, no more. Looks like I might be in for some lengthy troubleshooting ...
