    Hi guys

    Would be grateful if someone could shine some light on a problem with my IBM Thinkpad.

    Everything starts OK but opening page shows Error Message "0177:BAD SVP data, stop POST task" and thats as far as I can go.:doh:

    If you only have bad news I can take it, but I would love to take the thing to bits and repair it :D

    According to this page, the error code means that the System board/motherboard is faulty and needs to be replaced.
