IBM THINKPAD X41, Service And Troubleshooting Manual

Page: 53 / 108

Problem:
The computer does not respond.
Solution:
IRQs for the PCI are all set as 11. The computer does not respond because
it cannot share the IRQ with other devices. Refer to the ThinkPad
Configuration Program.
Problem:
The computer can not play a CD, or the sound quality is not good.
Solution:
Be sure that the disk meets the standards for your country. Usually, a disk
that meets the local standards is marked with a CD logo on the label. If
you use a disc that does not meet these standards, we cannot guarantee
that it will play, or that, if it does play, the sound quality will be good.
