That is a 14 year old laptop. 

 

I still have one of them, but it also quit working two years ago.

 

I am not surprised that it finally decided it did not want to work any more. System boards and hard disks only last so long.

 

That System Halted code is actually the serial number and it does not provide any diagnostic information.

 

I suggest that you source a replacement. 

 

The 160 GB hard disk type that is in the notebook isn't even manufactured any more.



I am a volunteer forum member. If my suggestion helped you solve your issue, help others by marking that post as the accepted solution. Say thanks by clicking on the Yes button next to the "was this reply helpful?"
