No screen no nutthin'.

I recently got a broken IBM ThinkPad T20 2647. Whenever I press the power, the light flikcers but nothing happens. Normaly I would just replace the battery but when I plugged It in and pressed the power, the battery lights flicker too... nothing happens. One more thing. When the cord is plugged in, after about 5 seconds, the battery light on the right turns orange (it looks like this: [ +]> ).

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

I power the device on and get the 'IBM ThinkPad' logo screen. Nothing happens after that

Since you are getting the IBM Thinkpad Logo it is confirmed that you have no hardware error. All you need to do is restore the operating system. most of the IBM laptop has an inbuilt recovery option. just press the access IBM/ Thinkvantage (blue button) immediately after pressing the power button and follow the screen..

hope this helps.

My IBM T40 boots to a black screen with the "z"(light at top to right of power.

Try these steps:

1. Remove battery and unplug AC adapter
2. Press power on button for 30 seconds or so (one min is also too)
3. Attach battery and plug into wall
4. Power "ON" as normal

If you are still getting the "Z" and a black screen then I would have the video card or hard drive looked at and replaced. Start with the video card and then look at the hard drive
