My ThinkPad T400 does not start!

Honestly, I have no idea what could have caused this!

I turned it on this morning & it was stuck on the startup screen. It read "ThinkPad" in big letters followed "To interrupt normal startup upward, press the blue ThinkVantage button." Waited about half an hour for him to start & it never did. Of course I pressed the ThinkVantage button & to my dismay... nothing happened. Subsequently, I have unplugged it & removed the battery. I then plugged it back in & tried to start again. Once again, nothing. I unplugged it new & attached to the battery. At this point, I tried to go back to the top and N O T H I N G!

What should I do?

Take a look at your usb ports, there could be some sort of pins to touch, as a result of the damaged usb pins.

  • ThinkPad T400 does not start, is turn on below the screen & turning HDD switch off in a loop

    I put my Thinkpad T400 hibernation, but the next morning I couldn't start.

The process continues to repeat in a loop, except if I press the power button to turn off.

    I tried the static load, remove the thing.

    I also removed the hard drive, put it back again, but not working anymore.

  • New Thinkpad T400 is not start the system

    Hello world

    I received my new Thinkpad T400 a month ago, product ID 2764CT 0. I told my computer to the hibernate after that the battery power is 5% of its capacity. I forgot to put the computer off last night and this morning, when I plugged the power cable has tried to turn on the computer, it wouldn't boot. The screen is completely turned off and would not turn on no, I know that the computer is turned on, because I can feel hot air coming out of the vent in the heat. 'Z' light was turned on, but the computer does not respond. Except for the CD player, no contribution has no effect on the computer.

    Can I call customer service for this problem, or is there a way to fix it myself?

    Thank you.

    Seems it's time to get it in service from lenovo, give them a call.

  • ThinkPad X 1 carbon does not start

    A week ago, I received my Thinkpad X 1 carbon, and it works fine both batteries on power and the AC adapter all the time. This morning, I closed my laptop as usual (so it goes to sleep but is not closed) and taken to the class with me. When I tried to wake him up, however, nothing would work. It does not start with the captain is connected. I am sure that the battery is a battery and I don't want to void my warranty by fiddling with it.

    Does anyone know what I can do about this problem? It is the only computer I have in College and I take some computer classes, so my problem is quite urgent. I also can not easily get to one spot to fix since I'm in a fairly isolated town and I do not own a car.

    Also by reading the forums here, I feel that the Lenovo Helpline is just terrible. Is this true?

    Once again, thank you for any idea possible!

    ' afternoon.

    Welcome to the community.

    Sorry, you have any questions.

    Have you tried the hole "reset" on the bottom of the laptop? I believe that it is not marked, but you must use a paper clip to trigger the switch. I don't have a X1C, personally, so I can't describe further. I am mobile now, so have a limited research capacity, but if you search the forum for a post of Mark_Lenovo, in my opinion, there is a picture of him.

    What about communicating with the Service, I personally never had anything but good experiences. Please keep in mind that on the forums open like these, good rarely validated reports.

    HTH a little.

  • R51 has black screen - does not start

    This question has been taken before, but I think I may have a unique situation.

    My R51 worked perfectly and was maintained during the 8 years that he was with me. I wanted to update my RAM and downloaded the update to the BIOS and chipset drivers updates.

    After that the tension I pulled the old 256 MB RAM sets under the keyboard and the bottom of the machine. Then I inserted the only 2 GB of RAM into its slot under the keyboard and reassembled it.

    Black screen / no start

    Went out the 2 GB replaced sets of 256 MB and it worked fine for a few hours that I looked for reasons why the 2 GB would not work.

    ' Sudenly the screen goes black and the closed system.

    It will supply (battery light / light green status), but the screen is black and it does not start. The fan is running and the battery costs.

    I tried hitting F12 and F8 but nothing.

    Then, I stored it down and pulled the chip near the connector of the screen and replaced by a spare part I had in hand... still nothing.

    From the CPU and replaced by another I had on hand - nothing new.

    I put all the oringinal gear back in place and tried to put pressure on the Board of Directors for the boot but still nothing.

    Help, please! I'm not very tech savvy but as you can see I'm not afraid to try.

    Thank you

    Thanks George!

    I was able to get the other 51 R spare parts and does the job!

    Send this message to him now.

    I want to send my thanks to all on this forum. It was the first time ever, I cracked the case on a laptop. Thanks to posts in these forums, I had confidence and information to see the job through.

    I have more no fear an attempt to repairs on the Thinkpad.

  • T420 does not start with 2 x 4 GB of RAM (two identical RAM)

    Hi all

    I have a weird problem that I hope you will be able to help me with.
    My T420 came with 1x4Go of ram (below the keyboard) and I wanted to switch to 2 x 4 GB of RAM so even once, I bought exactly the same RAM.

    The two Rams work well by themselves, in the Bay under the keyboard as well as in the Bay under the laptop. The two RAM been tested individually the two RAM slots. The laptop works very well with either the RAM individually in one of the RAM slots.

    BUT if I put them both at the same time, the T420 does not start. It turns on (screen remains black) and instantly switches back off. Without pushing any button, the T420 will then turn itself back on about 3-5 seconds later. This process repeats indefinitely. I don't even see the ThinkPad security screen where you can access BIOS. I changed the RAM autour in slots, but this does not solve the problem either.

    I never had something like this before. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

    Thank you much in advance.

  • Recovery CD does not start

    Hello

    I have an old IBM ThinkPad R50e (1834-PTG). When I originally bought in 2003, I created a set of recovery 6 CDs I kept this set in a place course and decided today to recover the laptop factory settings. The problem is that the computer won't start any recovery of 6 CDs (does not start other CD bootable without problem). CDs are not empty and contains a directory named "RECOVERY" with a bunch of files that it contains.

    I tried to use specify the CD-ROM drive as first boot device, to use F12 to specify the device, nothing helps.

    How can I use these CD?

    I found a ghost image, which is the result of a whole new R51. I'll be able to use it to recover my system? Will be the key of Windows that came with my computer work with this image?

    Well, it turns out that there was another drive (surprise) the names "Recovery boot CD. Now, the recovery process begins without any problem.

  • Does not start after the reload of the operating system

    OK, this is my story of boredom.  I have a Lenovo T61 Type 6463-5BU, S/N L3-xxxxx.  The hard drive died a few weeks ago, and since then, I have received a replacement drive under warranty, that is the exact same drive type.  We had a backup image of the old system under Norton Ghost and managed to get the image to the new disk once it has been installed.  To do this, we used a utility called OS
    'BartPC '.

    Since then, I did pretty much everything I can think of to get the system to boot, including playing with the BIOS settings, setting the drive to 'boot' and 'active' with the help of a number of public services, including the good old "diskpart" and many others.  The reader will just not start.  A few times I could read the disc using Bart in command prompt mode, but I never managed to boot from it.

    The laptop has a finger print reader, but I was told several times that this has nothing to do with the problem.  So... before I cut off the finger of a person and drag in the player... What am I doing wrong here?

    AGoodSolutionideas can save I hope as your image.

    For later use, take a look at this document from Lenovo on the use of Ghost; Partition does not start after being restored with Norton Ghost - NetVista / ThinkCentre / ThinkPad...

    I know it says 'prior to 2004 systems', but it is still topical.

    I've recently updated to macOS Sierra (public version) and everything seems fine, except for allowing to Siri. I tried to enable the system preferences as well as execution of the Siri application in the application. I even tried to 'facilitation' by selecting in the menu bar.

  • Black MacBook does not start

    I have a 10 year old black Macbook, which does not start when a battery is installed.  If it is connected without battery installed, it lights up, but if there is a battery in it, even if it is plugged in, it will get the startup sound and the screen of the Apple gray, then turn off.  I got a new battery and charge it where the charger turned green, but the results are the same.

    Any suggestions?

    It is difficult to say what is happening with this machine, since the time and wear are considerations. I don't know what version of the operating system that you use, but there is a sequence of things you should do - in order of severity.
