I am using Lenovo Thinkpad X240. It works normally but unfortunately, it does not turn on. I do not see any physical damage in the system. Even when I push the power button, I see no light on the keyboard.
I have checked my adapter and battery in other Lenovo system. It is all OK.
Can anyone help?

Unplug the power cord --> Remove the battery --> Remove the RAM from the slot

--> Connect the power supply then try to switch ON the laptop and later put the
Can't do the above fix with the X240 as it have an internal battery. Removing the extenal battery won't do it. You will have to crack the case and disconnect the internal battery.
All, I just called Lenovo with the same issue. My x240 would not boot and I tried the suggestions stated by all (except remove RAM). Tech told me to push the reset button on the bottom of the laptop (very small hole) using a paper clip for 10 seconds. Bootup now ok. This solution is much easier than the other suggestions. But, thank you to all for the comments listed. Better to try them than to have none.
One thing to consider before removing the RAM......
....have you tried this Fix with just removing the battery? I encourage you to try the fix with only removing the BATTERY first! If it doesn't rectify the problem, then if you feel comfortable with working on machines, continue with the Fix. Make certain to START OVER from the beginning again.

NOTE: HANDLING RAM TAKES CARE!!!! YOU COULD POSSIBLY BE DAMAGING THE RAM JUST BY TOUCHING IT IN AN IMPROPER MANNER! TAKE CARE TO UNDERSTAND THE PROPER METHODS AND PROCEDURES FOR HANDLING SENSITIVE EQUIPMENT PRIOR TO UNSCREWING ANY PANELS TO GAIN ACCESS TO YOUR COMPUTER! MAKE CERTAIN YOU HAVE A STATIC FREE SURFACE TO PLACE THE RAM! GROUND YOURSELF BEFORE HANDLING ANY SENSITIVE EQUIPMENT!
The only fix/hack is to separate the AC Adapter into two parts. Leave both unplugged from wall and laptop. Then take out the battery and hold down the power button for 30 seconds! Then put it all back together.
will i have to do this everytime? i have done the "remove external & internal battery, plug in ac adapter, hit the reset button, and put everything back together" fix for the past few weeks. i am trying to find a proper fix for this instead of going through this process every time i want to power on my laptop.
thanks for the above replies!
