#Thinkpad X1 Carbon 2018
I hardly used it for a while, tuned it on again and if I power it on now, it lights up for about 2 seconds and then turn dark again.
I tried:
Recharging for hours
Unplug battery
Unplug CMOS battery
Press battery reset
Any more ideas?

@fairsuchen Sorry to hear. Pressing the power button for a couple of seconds while having the battery disconnected helped me to get other ThinkPads back to life - but I’m not sure whether this works for the X1C series.
