a30p thinkpad wont turn on after holding off button.
a30p thinkpad wont turn on after holding off button.
I closed my a30p thinkpad for a few minutes,when o reopened the screen was black with the mouse cursor showing so I turned off the machine by holding down the power button for 10 seconds. So now I can't turn it back on, the charge light operates and if i listen closely I can hear a faint really high beep when I hold down the power button. Can anyone help me.

Re: a30p thinkpad wont turn on after holding off button.
Welcome to the forum!
Try this old trick:
Remove the battery, hard and media drives. Unplug the adapter.
Press the "power" button ten times in a row, holding it down for 10 seconds each time, and 30 seconds the last time around.
Plug the adapter - but nothing else - back in and try to power on.
Good luck.
