Lenovo laptop won't charge or turn on.

[khaepmu]

My Lenovo Ideapad won't turn on or charge. I have tried a few simple solutions but nothing works.

Did you let the battery run down completely by not using it for several months ?

No. I use the computer everyday!

1) How old is laptop ?

2) What was battery life before this issue ?

 

I would open the case and see if it's a simple as a loose connector. Youtube likely has a vid of teardown of your model so you can see where the battery is and how difficult it may be to access.

Try another power adapter, If the laptop battery is dead and no output from adapter you are dead in the water

test the charger to see if it delivers the necessary voltage.

 

if not, there are repair shops which can fix the laptop.

Take your machine to a computer shop where people can do actual diagnostics, instead of asking for internet best guesses.

I bought cheap 13 000 Baht Lennova  laptop and after one year it just died , not reaction when I tried to switch it on .

   Took it to a repair shop and the motherboard had died and needed replacing which would cost 10 000 Baht .

   I binned that computer and bought a new one

For sure it must have been cheap.

Is Lennova a new product?

Try holding down the power button for a full minute with power cord not plugged in,this should drain the battery completely then connect the power cord and try booting it up again.

That's what my girlfriend also mentioned recently.

I'm working on it.

Same problem this week myself with a used ACER dating from 2009. Fortunately, was only the power supply/charger. Swapped it for a power supply from an even older laptop which fortunately had the same connector (Compaq from 2005). If possible try to get hold of another power supply to test before going to a repair shop.
