    i have a thinkpad that only wants to come one when it wants to. Ya puch the button and you see the light click on and hear a click but it won't start. But then 5-10 min later when u turn it on it comes right on. Any laptop doctors out there ever seen this before. It is a "A22M" thinkpad.

    TIA

    Yup, methinks the same.......but.........any idea of the nature of the problem???

    No point in dumping money into a little-valuable laptop when new ones are running circa $600 these days!
