Hi,
I did find this:
http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/12/02/0012256&tid=184&tid=136&tid=4
1. Remove AC adapter
2. Remove battery
3. Press Power button for 90 seconds to drain the
capacitor.
Could a overcharged capacitor be a reason for this
issue? I will try it and let you know.
I did get in touch with the IBM Thinkpad service
center in Chennai, India. They are charging $40 for
inspection and any basic recovery/repairs since I
don't have any warranty. They will then give an
estimate on the mainboard replacement after
inspection.
Thanks for your help. Appreciate it.
SK
