I have an IBM T22 laptop that was working perfectly fine until yesterday. I had turned it on and it started up, but went into setup mode (another issue that I need to fix after I get this one taken care of; for some reason the bootup defaults to setup instead of Windows unless I manually select the OS), so I turned it off by the power button. When I went to turn it back on, however, nothing happened. At all. No fan, no hard drive kicking on, nothing. The power supply appears to be working (the light is on on the laptop indicating it’s plugged in). If this was a motherboard issue, would there have been any signs beforehand that it was about to keel over? The laptop IS almost 10 years old (it was born in 2000). Any suggestions on how to revive this thing?
