I few simple things to try: (I didn't read any other post so forgive me for not being thorough)

Hold the power button down for ~60 seconds. Also try that while unplugged and without battery, if you want to remove it.

Some Lenovos have a pinhole reset button. Should just be a tap, not a long hold.

Would be nice if you could determine if there is power output on the power adapter using a multimeter.

That's what I get for not reading.. .I was replying to Mistergrafix.

Solakani, very common for the jack to malfunction. Especially on an older model like that. If you want to pop open the laptop, use that multimeter on the solder points of the power jack.

I really hate troubleshooting on a forum, so I will only offer simple things that come to mind.

Doug , you are the man! im also a computer repair tech. Windows mainly.
Im the cheapest person on the planet and i ran a P3 until 2008 ish.
I was gonna offer to fix it free but doug has your back! thats why i love these forums!
2 years is a bit stupid. Ive never really seen one go dead in a couple years ....that usually happens very fast or hardly ever. 2 years is not good at all. i9!? yea fuck that . it should be covered but if its not and you really want it then i'll slap a motherboard in there for ya ?

ok, it dont seem like anyone mentioned the RAM. take out one stick at a time and try to power her on. It should not work but its part of the diagnosis. It is a VERY common problem with all computers.

I would also contact Lenovo, this machine is stupid expensive and your warranty only ran out Dec 23. I would contact them and make a big stink about this thing dying a month after the warranty ran out. Here is the warranty page.

Yeah, I didn't figure. Getogrow is right about ram stopping it from loading but you have no light on the laptop when plugged in so I didn't bother asking you to remove it. The charge light should be on even if the ram is bad but it's a simple thing to try so good advice. I would call Lenovo bud, seriously. That is one of their top of the line machines so dying completely one month after warranty is something they may make an exception for. Be firm with them but be nice, go over the first level as high as you can if they don't give in. May work, may not but it's worth a shot.

They just slide back in then push down and they will lock under the silver tabs doug mentioned. (slide the connections into the slot , then bend the ram downward)
