I had the exact same prob with a 5600D.
Shutting down by itself, sometimes working for a sec, etc.
It turned out to be a faulty memory-dimm. After replacement everything worked fine. You should test your memory with memtest86 (do a google for it).
Its a small memtest prog that runs from floppy, don't need no o.s to run it.
Hope it helps, good luck to you.

problem solved,it was the ac power adapter....
since i had to adapt one (i lost the original) and the voltage was too low
it woudn't stay on for much,just a couple of min....with 16 volts IBM adapter...
now changed it a 19v ACER adapter and it's working fine...

but it's suppose to work with a 19v to 20v 7amps...

thanx for the help...

That is a really really big omission when asking others for their opinion and assistance. It's not one of those things that anyone would think about being a cause.

Glad to hear that you fixed it.
