I've had my eye on getting a Libretto 50/70 and one has just come up on eBay, but it's showing a weird boot image intead of an error code:

Having looked through the service manual and done a Google image search I can't find a definitive meaning.

Anyone seen it before or know what it means?

That's the Libretto's suspend to disk function in action. I think it's booting from the hibernation file in that picture. That's a good thing, it means the hard drive is working and it's getting far enough to boot from the hard drive, so the mainboard is most likely working properly.

Also I recommend not hot-linking pictures direct from ebay, it won't load on here.

Great - that's really useful. Thanks
