Hey Everyone,
Someone asked me to look at a IBM 600x Thinkpad that their foster son uses. The laptop recieves no power at all when plugged into the power adapter(No led indicator lights come on). I checked the adapter to make sure it works by plugging it into my cordless drill and it seems to pass along power. I replaced cmos battery because the other was dead. Still nothing! I then completely disassembled the notebook to check the solder connections for the power connector on the motherboard and it seemed solid and the contact pionts meet the male adapter snuggly. I did'nt seem any aparent damage to capasitors or anything else on the board or hardware. Is this motherboard just fried or what? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Hope you had a wonderful holiday, Mark
