Try to diconect power cord and a battery and leave it for 10-20 min. Then plug them back. I solved once such an issue with MSI Gaming notebook GX600.
Good Luck!

The unit appears to be dead but the green and yellow channel LED's continuously flicker.

I am guessing that the lights are near the network cable plug? This simply shows that there is a signal on the network cable that is plugged-in. The laptop may be dead. Is there a light on the power supply? If you remove the battery, plug the power in and press the power button, what happens?

I have an IBM T40 that worked great until yesterday. When I powered it up, the 4 lights (battery, etc) flickers but the laptop does not power up. I removed the battery, paused, tried with and without the...

There are a few things left you can try. First take the battery out and make sure the unit is unplugged. Next push the power button a few times to discharge any power inside the unit. Now put the battery back in and while plugging in the unit see if the charge light comes on or flickers at all.

If it flickers and goes out, you have a bad power cord or worse a bad jack on the laptop's main board. If it never comes on, you have a bad power cord or mainboard. The battery is probably dead (doesen't have a charge left in it.)

You said this happens regardless of if the battery is inserted. Have you tried powering up the unit with no battery installed and just the power plug?

I'd see about gettting a replacement cord first. If that doesen't do it you probably have a bad board.

No screen no nutthin'.

Sounds like you may have motherboard issues. it would not be worth the expense to consider repairing this unit.

Won't turn on, black screen

seems to be a hardware issue (not easy to diagnose over the net) I would take it into a shop and have it looked at.

No response

First follow procedure to try to reset the power.
  1. Unplug the ac adapter. Keep ac adapter unplugged.
  2. Remove the battery and keep the battery unplugged.
  3. Hold the power button down for 15-20 seconds. (Nothing will appear on the display and none of the lights will light up.)
  4. Release the power button and plug in the ac adapter ONLY. (Please note that a power indicator light should be lit on the ac adapter when it is plugged in).
  5. Normally power on the notebook.
  6. If the unit does not power on, remove the ac adapter and insert the battery into the system.
  7. Plug the ac adapter back into the system, the battery charging indicator light will light up.
    If the battery charging indicator light does not light up, the ac adapter may not be providing proper power to the unit, and may need to be replaced.
