to find one

I concur with what Diegotech stated.

To iterate further;

1) The DC Power Jack (DC IN), may have cracked solder joint/s on the motherboard connector, (Female), where the DC Power Jack plugs in.

Resolder

2) The DC Power Jack may be broken.
Center Pin mount, and/or body of DC Power Jack, and/or Outer Shell mount.

Replace DC Power Jack.

3) Wires from the DC Power jack plug to the female connector on the motherboard, may be bad.

Replace DC Power Jack.

Two examples, of a place to buy an IBM ThinkPad T41 DC Power Jack,

2) http://www.machinaelectronics.com/store/buypart/IBM_Thinkpad_T41/DC-P001

Past this point it's a bad DC sensor on the motherboard.

Replace motherboard.

You can install the T41 2373 drivers

Visit the below link to download the drivers

http://www.bioticaindia.com/thinkpad-t41-2373.html

Go to this link to download the driver. Make sure under BIOS setting you have enabled audio device

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-46258.html

Go to IBM website and look for drivers for your computer model (T41) and locate the network drivers. (This obviously has to be done from another computer with internet access). Download and save the setup file to a flash drive and then run the setup on the IBM T41

vista will work, no problem. But Xo will work faster / better.

Hi there.
Unfortunately you cannot download the recovery CD for free, you can download them but it is going to cost you.
Take a look at this site for all IBM Thinkpad recovery CD's >>>>

Just to try the obvious...
The volume buttons on the laptop underneath the screen work independently to the volume controls in Windows. Have you tried pressing and holding the volume up button and then playing a sound?
