Picked up a Lenovo T495 laptop w/ a 512GB NVME drive in it. I needed a larger drive so I acquired a WD Blue SN570 1TB unit. Before the swap I went into the BIOS and turned off the internal battery (only battery). I swapped out the drive with no issues. After re-assembly, I plugged it in to AC and the LED by the power plug did not illuminate and the laptop will not turn on. I have done the push in "emergency" switch with a paperclip with no luck. FWIW I have been building computers since 1995 and have been using Lenovo since the IBM T42 days and am upgrading from a T440s (which I upgraded hdd/ram with no issues), with never an issue with any of my builds/upgrades until now.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as to why this machine will not turn on.
