I have an IBM Thinkpad T41 which won't turn on. When the laptop is plugged into the charger, the battery indicator light flashes a few times, goes dark and repeats.
I have tried pressing the on button with the power cord plugged in and the laptop will not turn on. I have also tried it plugged in and having the battery removed to no avail. Is this a battery issue or another problem with the laptop?
I've always thought that you could use a laptop plugged in even if the battery is dead...
Please advise. Thank you for your assistance.
