T530 seems completely dead
Posted: Sun Oct 20, 2013 3:34 pm
My 2 month old T530 shows very few signs of life. It was fine this morning when I hibernated it but when I came to restart it would not power on. The only signs of life are a bit of flashing from the battery indicator when I plug the AC adapter in and the power button illuminates for about a second when pressed. That's it....
I've tried removing the power adapter and battery then holding down the power button for 10 seconds as described in the user manual, removing/swapping memory and disks etc., with no effect.
Probably irrelevent but it was in 'airline power mode' when I hibernated it - sometimes it gripes when I boot it on power from a 12V car power adapter, so I thought I'd leave it that way for a while.
I'll be ringing Lenovo tomorrow morning but any suggestions would be welcome.
I'm running a clean install of 64-bit W7 on a new SSD I fitted, the supplied HDD having been moved to the Ultrabay.
