T60p big issues
Posted: Thu Jul 14, 2011 6:10 pm
Hello guys,
Got a T60p back in 2007. A couple of month ago battery went dead. Now laptop doesn't start at all.
Symptoms description:
When I plug in the power, the power supply LED (the plug) comes on, when I push power button, it goes off (the power supply LED) and doesn't do anything else. Repeat the power plug in the same thing happens. The fan doesn't spin, no beeps, no lights, nothing. The power ON LED doesn't come on, LCD doesn't flash.
A couple of times it did the same, but somehow it started and worked ok for the rest of the day.
I thought that it's power button itself, replaced keyboard with new one, the same story.
Dissasembled the thing, a small part of the thermal pad on the GPU remained on the GPU.
The fan was rattling, but being cold I took some time before cleaning it.
Any advices please?
Thank you in advance,
Vali.
The machine is the first one in my signature.
