    According to the knowledge base, if the MNT jumper pins are shorted it will continuously execute the POST routines (manufacturing maintenance mode).  The only system planar I can find to show me where the MNT jumper is located is for a desktop.  I don't even know if my latitude has an MNT jumper.  Can someone help me with this or maybe know where I can get a system planar for a latitude CPi A series?
