marland countyman,
Do you get any LED lights when you plug in the AC adapter? If not, then it’s either a bad AC adapter or there is something wrong with the motherboard. You can test the AC adapter with a voltmeter. If the AC adapter outputs correct voltage, most likely your have a motherboard problem.

Daniel Bolduc,
I found numeric error codes for a ThinkPad 770. I think they could be similar to your ThinkPad 760.
Here are numeric error codes and possible solutions of this problem.

Ronnie,
Does it mean that your laptop will not start from the battery power? It is possible that you have a bad battery but I doubt that it is somehow related to the Window reinstallation.
Try this. Unplug the AC adapter. Remove the battery. Wait for 1-2 minutes and try starting the laptop from the battery again.

William,
You said the screen doesn’t turn on then you switch on the laptop. Does the screen changes color at all? Can you see any dim image on the screen or it’s completely “dead”?
Did you try starting the laptop with an external monitor attached? Can you get any image on the external screen?
