Gotta love the web...
Littlun's #thinkpad wont power on or acknowledge a charger. Searching to make sure there's nothing I missed when I found a page that gives the following troubleshooting steps:
1. Check cable for damage
2. Do a power reset
3. Update the battery driver
4. Update your BIOS
5. Switch to a Chromebook
It's like they wrote 4 steps and then went "ah, you're fucked mate"
