Try removing one stick of ram if you have two and test one stick at a time in each of the two ram slots. Then test the second stick of ram in both ram slots this will tell you if you have bad ram or a bad ram slot. if it still doesn't work you need to consider getting out a multi meter and tearing open your computer and testing the circuit board starting at the power outlet and working into the board

I tried the RAM swaps , no change. Also Fan wont turn on. I am not familiar with electronic circuits.
Even now 2021 i have that problem on my Lenovo All-in-One Computer IdeaCentre 300-23ISU (F0BY0041US) Intel Core i3 6th Gen 6100U (2.30 GHz) 8 GB DDR4 1 TB HDD 23" Touchscreen Windows 10 PRO 64-Bit
I have a T430 with the same issue. LEDs (power Fn F3 ) are blinks one but the laptop does not turn on.
I triedtoclean the connections, remove the batteries....no change.
Once i removed the RAM and the unit booted up.
So the issue is the following : it works with no RAM, but it does not work with installed RAM.
The problem is the same with the old and a brand new RAM also.
Any idea?
