T42 does not boot help please
My t42 will not boot. When i push the power button the lights flash on the panel but the lcd does not turn on. I can feel the fan blow lightly but that is all. Some times the computer will boot like half way though windows but then the lcd turns off and the comptuer goes to the state of being on but nothing is on screen and i cannot do anything. Help please! thanks for any replies
If you connect an external monitor, can you see anything on it?
Have you tried booting up in Safe Mode?
You can run diagnostics from PC Doctor for DOS bootable CD

Can you access with the ThinkPad button? Better yet, can you access BIOS and reset it to Default?
Also try without the battery pack.
If you are unable then... use the warranty, a computer that new should be no a problem with the internal battery.

X220t IPS but but a bit unhappy with it
T60p 2007-93U 1600x1200 IPS (T42p is an overall better machine though. Lack of new IPS Thinkpads keeps me buying these older models!)
T42p 2373-KXU 1600x1200 IPS (The best ever!!)
A20p 2629-6UU 1400x1050 (My first Thinkpad!)
