If the computer shuts down suddenly and it's not a temperature problem, it may be the battery. I've had this happen on other Thinkpad computers. Remove the battery and run it without it, so you can see if it's the same or not.
Interestingly, I had the same issue with the battery connector. Mine also cracked/broke upon removal while I was replacing old factory thermal paste. Unlike yours, seems one of the pins may be unhappy and I would need to replace my fan. Wonder if this connector is just brittle and fragile in all T490s and similar models.

@@ItsBinhRepaired Just replacement CMOS battery and still no luck to power up.Not sure what will be next step Plus, Look like PS is fine. And thanks a lot for your kind, sir.
Tq for reply! When i plug it in, the charge-port led is solid white, the power button "blinks" 3 times. And that's about it, nothing happens. Have done the "reset" with the power button pushed in and also with the paper-clip in the back. Still nothing. I'm thinking maybe pulling out the internal battery or replacing the cmos battery. Any ideas?
You had me at press here when opening the case. I was really struggling. Didn't want to break it. Thank you.

This helped a bunch! Both my partner and I couldn’t figure out how to get the damn thing open 😂

Hi Binh, I have T490s with non-backlit keyboard. I'd like to replace it with backlit keyboard. Can you make video how to do it?
I don't think you can
You can upgrade the keyboard but as far as i saw it you have to replace the keyboard cover part
@@goodboy-zg3xo hmmm
@@goodboy-zg3xo I could purchase C-cover with backlit keyboard but not confident enough to replace it myself.
It won't be easy
Where can i find Boot jumper?
What's that?
Battery resetting or removed battery un-plugged plugged in and still it is powered. Not sure what is a problem to bring laptop up.
@@ilyashick3178 I'd have to see it in person

Hi Binh, i have the t490s laptop, can't power on, could this be due to bad cmos battery?
No power at all?

@@eswn14 hmmm not sure :(
I'm not sure if either a bad battery or bad cmos battery might prevent startup.
Just got the laptop today, bought refurbished.
@@eswn14 I would return
Thanks, how about say a word or two about RAM. More systematic approach would add some value to your reviews!
