Alright, my Thinkpad T60 decided to stop booting. I've tried all the obvious already. Anyway, when I start it up, it shuts down in 3 seconds. All the lights act normal, but no display. To get it to boot again, I need to remove the A/C and the battery. When I plug in the external VGA, it boots like normal. If I hit FN+F7 (LCD/External toggle), it powers off. What could the cause be? I was thinking a shorted out ribbon, are blown fuse or a faulty LCD, but it may be something else. Thanks in advance.

Jump to PostHave you see this except it is not a lenovo thinkpad laptop
Jump to PostCan you get at least boot into BIOS?
If so, might be either windows fault or something else...
Jump to Postso now you can't boot normally except plug in external vga and it would boot normally...
sounds like you got monitor faulty (internal)
Jump to Postyour problem looks like there earthing short circuit internally.
It could happen due to watter fall on lappy or due to ants sitting inside lappy.
So its better that you give it for the repair.
Jump to PostEr, how can Ants be inside your laptop cause the problem?

Your problem is your laptop will shut down after 3 seconds it is turn on, right? And you said you have to remove battery and power cord to book again. What do you mean by that? …
