Lenovo ThinkPad T60 won't boot

I went to take my computer out of sleep mode the other day and it crashed. Upon booting it up this happened. I can't access any bios of any kind to figure out the issue is, all I notice is that the z with a circle symbol. I've heard that the power supply or battery may be issue but not sure. Any suggestions?

either corrupted bios firmware, or dead bios battery.

bios is screwed. Need to be reflashed or replaced. Probably replaced.

I got the same issue yesterday, crushed spirits.

@whopsii thanks! that works! You are a life saver man! just keep pushing the power button repeatedly until the normal loading screen comes! thanks again! btw, the laptop is my dad's and he's sleeping. if he found out, I would be totally screwed!

I also heard if you give a guy a bj while pushing the power button... Jeez people, what the heck, ease up on the superstition, its a machine, just look up the error beeps in the online PDF manual. (Well, maybe they are not listed, I haven't checked)

I have the same problem, same computer...not totally sure what the solution is. I did have some success holding the power button down for about a minute to flush the capacitors.

[whopsii]

have you try the repeated power button push. push the power button 10 times repeatedly hold the push for 10 second. in the last push hold until 30 second. it's works on my t60.
