Lenovo laptop died and doesn't do anything while pressing the power button?

Lenovo laptop died and doesn't do anything while pressing the power button?
A couple of days ago I was running 2 vista updates, one manual since it didn't do it automatic and one automatically. One update finished and then tried to reboot my system. Then the screen faded to black, when I try to turn it back on it doesn't do anything at all. It does show me the batter/power lights when I plug in the power brick. The laptop model is a x200t from lenovo.

Try these tricks, I am not sure which order is best or which combination, but you may have some luck: - Remove the battery and just use the AC adapter - Hold down the power button for 30 seconds - Leave the battery out and the AC adapter disconnected for a while

I read something very similar to sashazur's answer, except it said to remove the battery, disconnect ALL external connections (power,USB, any plug-in cards etc), and THEN hold down the power button for about 40secs (maybe a minute to be sure!). I presume the idea is to discharge any residual capacitance charge from the circuits? Can't remember exactly what the problem was that this was supposed to solve though!
