Dosko,
Remove the hard drive and try turning it on. Can you boot to the IBM logo?
Try reseating memory and moving it from one slot to another.
Try replacing the memory module with a known good module. Could be bad memory.

I have an IBM ThinkPad R60. The keys were getting a little sticky so I wiped them down (using very little water). When I try to turn it back on, nothing happens. I tried when it’s connected to the wall and when it’s unplugged. When it’s connected, the battery icon and the plug icon are lit, but when I unplug it, no lights. I used very little water and only on the keys. Maybe by accident I pressed a combination of keys that messed it up? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

anil,
If your laptop turns on but nothing appears on the screen, there could be a problem with the laptop memory. Try reseating the memory module. Try moving it into the empty slot. Try replacing the memory module with another working module.

David,
First of all, try using IBM recovery. I believe you can access the recovery interface by pressing F11 key as soon as IBM logo appears on the screen. It’s possible the hidden recovery partition is still on the hard drive and you can reinstall Windows from there.
If the recovery partition was deleted, you’ll have to find recovery discs for your laptop or install generic copy of XP and then download missing drivers from the IBM (Lenovo) website.

liezel,
Try using Windows System Restore utility and revert your system back to the previous restore point.
