I just had my T420 die on me the other day. It simply will not power on. I do have some spare parts but I think I'll finally cave in and buy a new laptop.

Try this 'one weird trick' if you haven't already. It sounds unlikely but it's worked for me with Thinkpads once or twice: http://www.masnick.com/2007/09/07/the-secret-thinkpad-powerb...

I've tried it... No go.

Leave it rest a couple of days. Maybe it can turn on again, I got that once on my T470
