Question Thinkpad 470s not turning on

[DIY'er]

As the title says. Running fine, battery was running low, so plugged in the charger - no effect

Did basic troubleshooting:
1 - checked the charger, it was delivering 19.7V (20V needed)
2 - pressed reset button - no change
3 - removed batteries, pressed and held power button for 1 minute, replaced batteries - no change
4 - removed batteries, unplugged CMOS battery, waited 1 minute - no change
5 - removed batteries, CMOS, RAM, held power button down for 1 minute - no change

when the charger is plugged in, the LED on cover and power button blinks 3 times, then stays unlit. Pressing the reset button, the keyboard lights up when i press the power button, then nothing. Before it died, I did see a message about battery #2 running low, then screen went blank.

I'm fresh out of ideas, anyone suggest something else? Right now it has no charge so I cannot do anything with regards to Win10, BIOS, etc. It also does not function with charger plugged in and batteries removed.

Thanks.

Are you using the correct charger? Is it providing adequate wattage to your laptop? At least 45W/2.25A
