Well, it finally happened. The Medion couldn't take it anymore. Had disassembeled it to clean it. Re assembeled it (all but 3 screws) and tried to boot. It worked fine. Turned it upside down to plugin the last 3 screws which hold the "case" together. Tried to boot again, and it started to boot, but nothing came on the screen.
When the Medion boots up, it's like on IBM Desktop computeres where all tha fans run full speed at start up for a couple of seconds. Very noisy.
The Medion never got past the noisy point. It just hung there and made a lot of noise. After trying to boot several times I tried to disassemble it again, checking if some cable had gotten detatched. There was no such thing. And by now I had run out of patience. The Medion called it quits after 5½ years. Sold it to some guy who wanted to fix it. Took out the harddisk before I sold it.
In stead one of my fellow students had an IBM T60 for sale as he wanted a Mac instead. So I bought his T60. Wow, what a machine. I am very satisfied with it. IBM spells quality compared to the Medion I think. But hey, it's newer machine, and was quite a bit more expensive when it was initially bought.
