Question Lenovo Thinkpad T440p only blinking light 3 times

[rich002]

so i have thinkpad t440p that doesn't powered up for long time and the battery is empty, when i plug the charger and press the power button the laptop doesn't turn on and only the power button light blinking 3 times with no beep sound. i try with no battery plugged too, still same result. is it motherboard or bios related?

i have also tried reseating ram and cpu, pressing power button for 30s with no battery or charger plug-in, and clearing cmos battery.

Thank you for answering.

Remove power plug and battery,remove the ram for 5 minutes and replace. Insert paper clip into reset hole, then hold down the power button for one minute. Plug in the ac adpater and press power button see if anything changes.
