How to do a Power-Cycle / Reset of a Dual battery Lenovo Laptop (eg. T440 / T440s)

Is your dual-battery Lenovo laptop not powering on? Holding the power button for 30 seconds does fix some problems, but if that still doesn't work for you, try this method to get it going again - your laptop may just be in a short-circuit protection mode. All you need is a standard small screwdriver and a plastic pry tool (eg. plastic card or guitar pick). The model in the video is the T440, but the same concept should apply to most dual-battery Lenovo laptops, such as the Lenovo Thinkpad T440, T440s, T450, T450s, T450s, T460, T460s X240, X250, X260 and possibly others.

    Excellent video. Finally solved this issue by pushing the reset pin at the back and unplugging the internal connector. Before this video, I tried disconnecting the battery and uninstalling the battery driver, but none of that worked. The only feedback is that I was prompted for the windows activation key again, which fortunately was handy. The batteries are charging now! Thanks

    I had this issue few times on my T450s. I rarely used this laptop. So each time I fixed it opening the laptop by unplugging and plugging back the internal battery. However now even this is not working. what do you suggest? I am thinking maybe the motherboard is gone after few times of opening and closing?

    Hi! I have a different problem... I tried your procedure, either to press the reset button and either to disconnect the internal battery, in order to do a reset but doesn't fixed my problem. I bought a second hand Lenovo Thinkpad T440s with Win10 operating system and with the following problem: when the PC is NOT connected to the power supply, the battery panel indicates that battery 2 (external) is in use, but in reality the system uses the battery 1 (internal). For this reason, when battery 1 runs out, the PC switches off without warning and without switching to battery 2 ... Do you have any other suggestions? I'm going crazy! :-( Thanks a lot!

Is it that it gives current intermittently? What's the piece that can cut the power like that?
