My ibm-t40 think pad will not charge - IBM ThinkPad T40 2373 Notebook

Wait Black Screen? AFTER you changed the fan... hmmm... I think I know what the problem is. Okay solution one; You might of hit a wire or cord in the computer when you changed out the fan. Two: You might have the virus 223, get it fixed and it should be going again! Hoped this helped! :D

Try pressing Fn+F5, this is the standard on IBM laptops for enabling/disabling the wifi connection.

Try to restart the Services of Wireless Zero Configuration or Wireless Auto configuration in the Services Section. To open service, type "services.msc" in the run command.

First place to try is the IBM support site, which is now Lenovo.
If that does not work, try using a driver finder product. That might be able to identify the wifi card and find a driver for it.

Try taking the batter out and booting using just the power cord and Vice Versus'. Also when the power is plugged in does the charging light (Battery Indicator) blink or light up? If you know the Power Supply is good, then the Mother Board may have fried. If it's under warranty, take the Hard Drive out and send it in.

hello

You can find your drivers at the link given below.

http://www.ibm.com/products/finder/us/finders?pg=ddfinder

just click the link and after opening the browser just put your model number to search your drivers.

Thank you.

When you download the T40 device drivers from the IBM/Lenevo WEB site make sure you select your model laptop and, they need to be the XP or Vista versions of the drivers you need.
When you run the driver programs they will be unzipped/expanded to the hard drive in a folder c:\drivers. Then you need to open the various folders and run the setup programs to install the various drivers.
NOTE - The T40 series laptops come with various different manufacturers devices (eg. there are a few different wireless model LANs) and if one version driver doesn't work you need to install a different one. It is a bit of trial and error to find the right one

Are the activity lights blinking like the computer is doing something? If so the monitor may be disconnected from the unit or damaged. If so this is a pc repair issue, and a little tricky to do on your own.

if you think your adapter really works fine then you have a  motherboard issue.
