It's not a question I have it's a resolution for the flashing white light. My HP thinkpad pads power button led was flashing slowly and wouldn't turn on. When I plug the charger in it would flash 3x and then go back to flashing slow. Long story short after looking oine and here on these forums. I found nothing. So I took it upon myself to figure it out and the very first thing I did worked. I held down the power button and ESC key until light light turned solid and let them go. BOOM!  Back in business!! Hope this helps!

I hate to break it to you but Lenovo makes Thinkpads.

 

Originally, Intel made them.
