https://millionshort.com/ is still a fairly decent tool for scouring the non-SEO'd web.

very good, Kirse!

And there I found this one https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-T400-T500-and-newer-T/... which says, literally:

Remove the battery

Press power button 10 times

Press power button down for 30 seconds

Press power button twice

Attach ac adapter

Press power button once. PC should come up. Perform normal start up. Everything should be fine.

Shut down and reinstall the battery

This is pretty cool!

After looking at Millionshort, it's pretty sad to go back to Google and realize that it is unable (or unwilling) to move beyond simple ranking and group results into categories.
