I have a ThinkPad R51 that will not power on. I have tried different batteries and power supplies. None of the lights turn on, blink, or flash. The harddrive doesn't spin. Is the laptop toast? Is it something easy to fix? The laptop is an older one and out of warranty, so it wouldn't be a huge loss.<br />

ThinkPad R51 will not power on with charged battery and power supply.

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
