Until recently, my daily driver laptop. ThinkPad x200s from 2008. When covid hit I started using my desktop and a month ago I tried the laptop and it doesn't turn on anymore :(
Nowadays nothing noteworthy... maybe my smartwatch, Samsung Galaxy Watch 1.
If it's not just the battery finally giving out, it might be the thermal goop on the CPU / GPU. Late IBM Thinkpads could eat fans annually. Early Lenovo models can't be all that different. Thermal cycling is a rude source of stress... as is the sudden end of routine thermal cycling.
Also the BIOS battery. At least some from the late 90s refuse to do anything if the Bios battery is dead.
