My neighbor has an IBM R40 Thinkpad that was left on the couch with a pillow on top of it while he was at work. Now of course this caused it to overheat and discolor the LCD then shut off and now won't restart completely. What happens is the monitor comes on and then shuts down again but the drives spin and all.

Now my opinion is it a power supply issue and it can't put out enough to run everything plus the monitor...basically FUBAR'd.

So if you have an idea lets hear it.
