Guys,
I'm working on a t42 - pretty new - but it is an american model purchase din the UK so support isn't going to fix this.. anyways - it has been unplugged for 3 months at which time we think it was working.
Now plugged into the mains it will not power on. Taken battery out and gone stright mains - still no power up. Used another adaptor - still nothing.
Initially I saw when plugging and unplugging a flicker of light - which makes me think
cmos battery is dead - from being unplugged so long..
what are your thoughts and recommendations. I have it plugged in right now.. but no charge light, nothing, and the flicker will no longer go. I guess the next step is to put a charge battery in it from another machine and see if that boots it.
also, no sigbns of abuse machine looks in perfect shape.
after being plugged in a minute with teh battery inserted, area around the plug (power supply presumably is warm)
