I am having a problem with my T20 laptop. When I came home today it was turned on but was showing a blank screen. It wouldn't come to life so I turned it off but now it won't boot at all. Any ideas on what the problem may be? Here are the specs:

Model: IBM T20
Purchased: 2000
OS: Microsoft XP
RAM: 256 MB
HD: 11.2 GB

Thanks in advance.

I was able to get the laptop to boot by unplugging the power supply, pulling out the battery and holding down the power button for 30 seconds.
