X60s will not power up
I have a X60s that will not power up. The LED for the plug will light up when the power adapter is plugged in, but, when I hit the power button the fan is the only part that powers on. I've tried re-seating the keyboard, and the memory, but no luck. Has anyone else had this issue, and, if so, where you able to correct it?

Re: X60s will not power up
Welcome to the forum.
Try it with the main battery removed.
If that fails, remove charger and main battery, press/hold the power button down 10 times for 1 second, then press/hold it for 30 seconds.
This will reset the laptop.
Connect only the charger and try to boot.

Did it work when you got it?
If not, return it for a refund.

Worked great when I got it, we got it new. Powered it down one afternoon, tried to power it up the next morning, and nothing.

Re: X60s will not power up
Have you got another IBM/Lenovo 20V charger to try ?
Do NOT attempt any other than original chargers!
If you have a multimeter, take the motherboard out of the laptop and start measuring the fuses.
Remove charger and battery before you start on that.
Instructions on the how-to here: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail. ... MIGR-62866
See the fuse diagram here: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=85964

Thanks. I'll give that a shot at the shop in the morning.
