Aashish,
You cannot tell which one is causing the problem without testing the laptop with a known good adapter. Could be bad adapter or motherboard problem.

Hello Guys,
I am having a strange problem with my thinkpad. 2 days back,it shutdown suddenly and wasn’t ready to boot. When I removed the power supply and rebooted it.. it worked. But as soon as I connect it with Adapter it got shut down and the same problem persists as earlier.
Is that a problem with adapter or motherboard.. Shall I try connecting with adapter without battery..or will it do a further damage. FOr the time being I am shutting it down and charge for some time and then remove adapter and boot again.
Thanks..awaiting for responses.

Hello,
I have a IBM ThinkPad 390 I added 128 more memory, but it doesn’t show I still says I only have 128 and not the 256 I should have. What do I need to do to make sure I have the 256 I should ahve now?

Hi,
I have a Thinkpad R60 that was fine until recently. Now it won’t start up. I get the one long beep, two short beeps problem, but when I take out the HD, I get the IBM screen and set-up menu.
Sometimes it will begin starting Windows, but doesn’t make it all the way and shuts down. Any ideas?

Hi Joanne,
I faced the same issue in my IBM thinkpad … what i did was in the bottom there is RAM section with two nuts.. open them and remove the RAM and clean it and put it back.. your lap top will start working again…

I have my grandfather’s old computer and when I press the start button it will seem like its loading. The light says that it’s on but I don’t see anything on the screen.Then it will start to make these beeping sounds(I think 8 times)…. What should I do?

I recently stopped some services in the System Configuration Tool. I cannot get them to start again. I cannot see where this is done. Also, is there a way to get prior restore dates back if you shut the restore feature off and then put it back on? I cannot access the restore points prior to the shutdown date, even though they are highlighted as restore points.
