My T60p totally died over the weekend. I was using it fine for about 3 hours on battery. I took it home, plugged it in to recharge and ... nothing. None of the power/battery lights turn on and the machine won't power up. I've try 2 power cords, I've tried w and w/o battery. I've tried holding down the power button to discharge the capacitors. I've tried pressing the power button repeatedly.

This morning I called Lenovo/IBM support and they are sending a tech to replace my MoBo (I bought on-site service - phew). However, they don't have a MoBo in stock . The phone rep told me someone would call me in 24/48 hrs to tell me when they plan on having a new MoBo for me.

Sooo, a couple of questions:

1. Any idea how long I should expect to wait for a new MoBo?
2. Any idea on anything else I can try to get this thing to power up?
3. What type of HD does this things have? I pulled it to try and get some data off it and I don't recognize the interface. It's not standard IDE or SATA.

Thanks,
TMD.

The T60's use at standard SATA interface, so if you don't recognise it you're not looking at it properly it should hook up to any sata port, you just need a sata power port along with it.
