IBM Thinkpad problem

[andydingdang]

I have an IBM thinkpad T41, when I turn it on the power light switches on but nothing else happens. There is no hard disk light and there is no more activity. The screen never comes on either. I have tried connecting it to an external monitor but nothing happens. Can anyone advise of what the problem may be - be it hard disk, memory, screen or anything else.....bios batterie!?!? HELP!

Try this:
Remove the battery.
Connect to the mains and switch on.
If unsuccessful, disconnect from the mains, put the battery back, and switch on.

If that doesn't work, phone the helpline to send it in for repair.
