Thinkpads and some server kit can be *fun* most Compaqs just need the usual bios reset.
Most dell laptops require taking to bits, bridging a couple of pins on the motherboard and powering on for a couple of seconds, or erm, using the magick reset disc that dell supply for "engineers only" which of course means you have to be able to change the boot order. Of course being nice to a dell type person when they are repairing laptops might mean you get hold of a copy of that disc.
