I have an IBM thinkpad r51e – it powered off suddenly and now it won’t turn on, no light, no power, no battery charge. As far as I’m concerned the battery is fully charged. Seems that many IBM’s suffer this problem, mine is 20 days out of warranty, these things are a total waste of money.

jopher,
I assume there is nothing wrong with the AC adapter. The battery will not charge only in Windows or it will not charge even with the laptop turned off?
The battery plugs directly into the system board, so it’s either a faulty battery or there is something wrong with the motherboard. Replace the battery first.

Does anyone know if the GPU/ATI BGA problem (powers up but won’t boot, no video, get 4 beeps) effcats T30s? We bought a used T30 from IBM and it lasted 5 months. I press on the ATI chip but it won’t boot, so not sure if its the same issue or not.

haris,
If you are lucky, the juice damaged only the keyboard. If not, then it damaged the motherboard. The only way to find out what is wrong is to remove the keyboard and take a look at the motherboard.
