The T4010 does not power on. The battery or power cable icon blinks every 3 seconds. Appreciate any help. Thanks

Hello,

The blinking light usually means the battery is dead and can't power on the laptop. If the charger is bad and won't charge the battery you will have that type of error. Get a multitester and check the voltage coming from the ac adapter. Put the meter on voltage, now put the red lead on the center pin and the black lead to the outside metal contact. You should get a reading of 18 to about 26 volts. My guess is the adapter has a short and can't power the unit. You should be able to get a replacement adapter from Ebay.com

I hope my solution works, If so please rate my solution.
