Lenovo has been on the electronics market for a long time, but laptops brought it fame. They know how to do this technique, although this does not exclude the possibility of various breakdowns. Unfortunately, no one is immune from this. However, this does not mean that you have to resign yourself and buy something new. Still, a laptop is not the cheapest piece of equipment, so throwing it away because the device refuses to turn on is not the best idea. It could be a simple breakdown that can be fixed in a few minutes and a couple of hundred rubles. Why spend tens of thousands on buying a new laptop?
Let's try to figure out what could be causing the Lenovo laptop to not turn on. Honestly, there may be hundreds of reasons, but not all of them mean that the device has come to a complete end. Essentially, the reasons can be divided into simple and complex. Simple ones can be resolved quickly and require virtually no financial investment. In addition, the user can often handle them himself. But complex ones need to be solved with the help of professionals. But even their intervention does not guarantee that the laptop will be repaired.
No battery
Anyone who understands even a little about the working mechanisms of a laptop, or any modern device, understands that a computer will not work without a battery. That is why this reason is considered simple. You don't have to be a genius to solve it. You don’t even need special knowledge for this. Do you see that the place where the battery should be is empty? So, we need to put it back. If this was the case, then the laptop will work without any problems.
Typically, the battery is located at the bottom of the device. To check for its presence, simply turn the laptop over. If you see that the bottom panel is not completely assembled, you need to buy a new battery. If you have an old one, just put it in its place.
Of course, for most experienced users this problem may even seem funny. But do not forget that the absence of a battery may not be obvious. In the sense that it seems to be in place, but it does not fit tightly, or the computer simply does not “see” it for some reason. This is a more serious breakdown, for which you need to contact a specialist. As a rule, its cause can be a defect or long-term use of the device, due to which it simply stopped working as it should.
So, if the laptop does not want to turn on, although it works normally, when you connect the charger to the network and to the laptop, you need to take a closer look at the battery. Most likely, this is where the problem lies. Replace and everything will be fine.
The screen on the laptop turns on, but there is no image
You press the power button, the cooling fan starts up with its usual pleasant noise, and then there’s just a black screen and nothing more. Most users at this moment begin to panic and reboot - there is nothing wrong with that. But we recommend that you first rule out the problem with the OS. If you see that the screen is not completely black, but has a grayish tint, the problem is probably in the OS, because the screen itself is working. If the screen color does not differ from the monitor being completely turned off, then the problem may be with the laptop screen. In this case, you should try resetting the hardware settings.
How to reset your hardware
In order to successfully reset the hardware settings, you need to follow a simple algorithm of actions:
- Disconnect the laptop from all power sources. This is both a charger and a battery (it must be removed from the device).
- Press and hold the power button for 20 seconds or more.
- Insert the battery into the laptop and connect the power source.
- Turn on the device in the usual way; if the OS prompts you to select a boot method, select “Normal boot”.
Why carry out such a procedure? It's very simple: the laptop stores a small residual charge, which allows you to save hardware settings even after the battery is completely discharged. After holding the on/off button for 20 seconds, we reset the settings.
Checking the screen's health
If the screen lights up, but there is no image, then there may be problems with the operating system. Fixing such a problem will take much less time and will cost less than replacing the screen matrix. Therefore, our task is to exclude the most unpleasant outcome. To do this, you can use the light indicators that are found on most modern devices. If the lights begin to flash or turn red, there may be a problem with the device. In this case, you should try connecting the laptop to a TV screen or other monitor (which is definitely working). If an image appears on them, then there is a problem with your laptop screen, so you will have to contact a service center to find out the causes and severity of the problem.
It is worth noting that screen failure without visible signs of damage or physical impact from outside occurs rarely in well-known brands. One possible cause of damage is failure of the cable. In other cases, the most likely cause of damage is a blow to the case or its getting wet. If you accidentally spill tea or other liquid on your computer, do not turn it on until it is completely dry. Otherwise, moisture on the contacts will become a trigger and the board will simply burn out.
Battery power
The reasons why a Lenovo laptop does not turn on are very different, including obvious ones. For example, the device will not start if it is discharged. There is a situation when the owner leaves for just a few minutes, returns, and the laptop or netbook is already sparkling with a dead black screen and does not react in any way to any manipulations in its direction.
Don't despair. Perhaps the fact is that he simply has problems with nutrition. The charge has run out, but for some reason the energy is not supplied. In this case, there may be several possible problems:
- There is something wrong with the charger, for example, the cable is frayed, so there is no way to charge the battery;
- The power connector is loose, so the equipment simply doesn’t want to work.
In either of these cases, the light does not light up to indicate that the device is charging. In this case, you need to figure out the reason using the method of elimination.
In the case of a problem charger, you should try to take a charger from another laptop, of course, if it is available. If the laptop starts charging and turns on, then the mystery of the breakdown is solved, and it’s time to go to the store for a new charger. But if not, then the fun begins.
It’s better not to even start dealing with the connector yourself. This is a very delicate part of any laptop. The fact is that the power connector is constantly used, and over time it can become loose. And if you continue to behave carelessly, it will disconnect altogether. Then you can forget about turning on the laptop altogether, since you won’t be able to charge it either with or without the battery.
If you don't take your laptop in for repair, you'll have to say goodbye to it. And the technician will fix this problem within half an hour, although depending on individual circumstances it may take a little longer. In principle, connectors become the reason why a laptop does not boot quite often. We can say that this is Lenovo's weak point. Therefore, if you see that the indicators are not lit, this may be the problem.
In principle, diagnosing a problem with a connector is very simple - the power cable must “sit” tightly in the socket. If he “walks”, it means the nest is loose.
What to do if the laptop screen turns black?
There are quite a few reasons why a laptop monitor can turn black, and most of these reasons can be easily fixed on your own. Basic technical glitches are harder and more expensive to identify, but you can try these solutions first. If you find that your laptop monitor has suddenly gone dark, then you should know that there are a number of possible reasons for this. It would be impossible to pinpoint the exact cause simply by assuming that there are many wires, connectors, and devices that must function properly to keep laptop screens functioning. If the screen randomly turns black, you should not panic and should follow a systematic troubleshooting procedure.
Computer crash
One of the most difficult reasons why the screen goes black is a glitch. This can happen for a variety of reasons and is often difficult to fix on your own. You will have to take your laptop to a computer repair shop and they will find the reason why your laptop screen is black. Needless to say, this can cost several hundred dollars. The failure may be caused by overheating or possibly a loose power cord. One solution for you is to play an audio file if the laptop screen goes black. If it doesn't play any sound at all, then there is something wrong with the entire system, but if it plays an audio file, then it's just a problem with the laptop screen.
Virus attack
There are several computer viruses that can cause this problem, but most antivirus programs can effectively combat such a virus. Regularly update your antivirus software and make sure that you download all possible firmware, and this type of virus will be successfully removed. If your machine is infected with such a virus, then your video drivers will most likely be affected, and even your video card may be infected. All this causes the computer screen to turn black, and in some cases the screen may even turn blue.
Outdated drivers and programs
Video drivers are critical for your laptop monitor to function properly. But in some cases, these programs may stop functioning for various reasons. If your screen turns black after startup on a consistent basis, then it may be your video drivers that are malfunctioning. To avoid this situation, you should keep your video drivers updated and also refrain from using pirated drivers. Spend the extra money to get licensed drivers and you'll save a lot of unnecessary expenses in the future. Also, update your video drivers as new updates become available. These updates are usually intended to fix small problems that may appear from time to time.
Faulty connections
Sometimes a simple weak connection can cause the screen to go dark. The data cables that connect the hard drive to the screen can become loose or wear out over time. An easy way to check this is to connect your laptop to an external monitor. If an image appears on this screen, it may be due to a matrix cable that needs to be checked. Replacing it, ideally, should solve the problem. It is best to have a computer technician solve this problem.
FL Inverter
If the screen gradually dims or just goes blank, there may be a problem with the laptop's FL inverter. This small device controls the backlight of your laptop screen. To check this issue, connect your laptop to an external screen. If the external screen shows a normal image, there may be a problem with the inverter. First check if your data connections are established. If the problem persists, you can take your laptop to a specialist. Once the inverter is repaired or replaced (a new one costs about $50), your laptop should work fine.
Overheating problems
Your laptop, like any other electronic device, tends to heat up when overused. This may cause your machine's hardware to malfunction. The best option would be to not abuse the laptop for long hours. You can also purchase external stands with fans for better cooling. If this is the reason why your laptop screen turns off, you need to solve the problem by turning off the device for a while and then turning it back on after it has cooled down.
OS problems
This problem can also occur if you are using Windows 7 as your operating system. You can try following this path to fix the problem once your screen works again.
Windows > Control Panel > Classic View > Power Options > Balanced > Change Plan Settings > Change Advanced Power Settings > Processor Power Management > Minimum Processor Status > Customize (default should be 5%) > Change to 100% > Maximum Processor Status > Customize (default should be 5%) > change to 100% > Apply > OK
Windows 10 monitor keeps turning black
Lately, many computer users have been complaining that their PC or laptop screen turns black every few seconds:
Case 1: “Sometimes this doesn't happen, but when it does, my screen goes black for a second, then 5 seconds pass and it happens again (this may repeat another 10 or more times). Other times it will turn black for a few seconds and it will also flicker. “
Case 2: "My external dell monitor goes black after about three seconds and soon it turns back on and then it continues to go black."
How to fix the screen
To help you solve the problem of a black screen that goes blank for a few seconds, we have the following solutions:
Solution 1: Try the Windows key sequence to wake up the screen by pressing the Windows logo key + Ctrl + Shift + B at the same time.
If Windows responds, a short beep will sound and the screen will flicker or dim while Windows tries to update the screen. If this doesn't work, move on to the second solution.
Solution 2: Reinstall the video card driver.
- Start your computer in safe mode. (Select Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Advanced Startup > Restart Now). Your computer will automatically boot into another Startup Options window, press F4 to begin rebooting into Safe Mode. You can also press F5 to boot into Safe Mode over Network.)
- Select the search box on the taskbar, type device manager, and then select Device Manager.
- Expand Display Adapter.
- Press and hold (or right-click) the display adapter, and then select Uninstall > OK.
- Restart your computer.
Solution 3: Uninstall or update third-party antivirus software. Some third-party antivirus programs may cause a black screen. Removing the software will not leave your computer unprotected because Windows Defender Antivirus will turn on if no other antivirus software is running.
If the problem is software related, this should ideally result in your screen working normally.
The screen operates on a complex mechanism, and many devices and wires allow it to work properly. If your laptop screen turns black, it could be due to one of the reasons mentioned above, as well as some other technical glitches.
Other reasons why laptops won't turn on
The reasons listed above are not the only ones that can affect the health of the laptop. If some indicators do not light up, the screen does not work, or the computer does not turn on at all, then the problem may be associated with the following failures:
- HDD. The cause of this malfunction is mechanical damage to the computer (a fall, for example). If nothing like this happened, then you should pay attention to frequent clicks when the laptop is running. As a rule, it is after them that the hard drive fails;
- BIOS. A BIOS-related problem appears if you flash the laptop's firmware incorrectly. In addition, a malfunction may result from changing the settings in the BIOS. If the BIOS gets lost, you will have to carry out serious reconfigurations. You can make them yourself only if you have experience in this matter, otherwise the device will again end up in the trash;
- Overheat. You can suspect overheating if, when you turn on the computer, it immediately turns off or constantly reboots. In this case, you will have to replace the fan. And then be sure to place the laptop so that the cooler area does not overlap;
- Screen. When the lamps don't light up, that's one thing, but if the display is faulty, it needs to be replaced. There is an option to connect another display via a cable, but then the device will lose its mobility.
In general, answering the question of what to do if the laptop does not turn on, you can only say one thing - go to a service center. They will not only diagnose the problem, but also help you fix it.

The specialists of our telemama service center are guaranteed to fix any problem with your assistant, including if it does not turn on at all.
First of all, we will conduct a free diagnosis of the laptop in order to know exactly what kind of malfunction led to the fact that it will not boot. We can then give you professional advice on the best way to restore your laptop's functionality. Our specialists also carry out high-quality repairs of Lenovo IBM in the shortest possible time. If you see a black screen when you boot your computer, you shouldn’t try to figure out what the problem is on your own, much less repair the laptop, it’s better to just contact our service center. We will repair any Lenovo model.
If it does not turn on, does not boot, or there is a black screen when loading on a Lenovo laptop, then the following problems may occur:
There are many reasons why you may see a black display instead of the usual screensaver when you turn on your laptop. Here we describe the most common faults.
- The display may not function if the north bridge or video card is faulty. Most of all, the north bridge suffers from overheating, as a result of which the chip can become unsoldered. Overheating occurs when the cooling system is dirty and the vents are closed. As a rule, it is impossible to repair the north bridge. Therefore, we advise you to contact the Telemama service center for proper selection and replacement of parts.
- The monitor does not work even if the south bridge is faulty. This spare part connects the video card and processor. It is damaged quite rarely, but it happens, and the reasons are overheating and mechanical stress. First of all, because of this, the keyboard and USB ports stop working. Here you also need to completely change the part, and this is best handled by an experienced technician from our service center.
- If the processor is faulty, the matrix does not work either. It is he who is the “heart of the computer”. There are two types of laptops: in some, the processor is installed in a removable panel, while in others, it is soldered to the motherboard. Naturally, it is easier to replace it in the first case, but we still do not recommend doing it yourself, since such intervention requires special knowledge and experience. Malfunction of the processor, as well as the video card, north and south bridges is caused by overheating of the laptop, which in turn is caused by dust in the cooling system. Therefore, for the laptop to function properly, it requires regular cleaning.
- If, after turning on your Lenovo IBM, you saw only a black display , this may be caused by careless handling of it. Most often, moisture gets into laptops due to the carelessness of users or they receive mechanical damage, including when transported without a special bag. If liquid gets into Lenovo, immediately take it to service. Even if it turns on after a while, there is no guarantee that the laptop will continue to work properly. If your laptop has a black monitor, we will conduct a full diagnostic. It is she who will help in the future to qualitatively repair your Lenovo 3000, ThinkPad or />
- An error may occur in the operating system itself. Then also the display will be dark when turned on. To determine if there are errors in Windows, contact our wizard, who will give you an accurate answer. In this case, you need to reinstall the OS.
What to do if the display does not work
Now let's look at what to do if the screen on Lenovo does not turn on. Start with simple steps, and then move on to more global steps to check internal nodes.
Check power
First, make sure the battery is working. This is relevant if, when turned on, the Lenovo laptop does not work at all: the indicators do not light up and the fans do not work. Discard the battery and connect the Lenovo laptop directly to a 220 V network. If the screen works in this case, then the problem is in the battery. Try replacing the power supply to restore functionality.
Reset settings
If the monitor on your Lenovo laptop does not turn on, try resetting the settings. It is important to follow this algorithm:
- Disconnect the charger from the device.
- Remove the power supply from the connector.
- Press the power button to release the remaining charge. To achieve the desired result, hold the key for 25-30 seconds.
- Replace the battery.
- Connect the charger.
If after this the screen on your Lenovo G565 or other laptop model does not turn on, proceed to the next step.
Check the display
If such malfunctions occur, you need to understand that the problem is really in the Lenovo laptop screen. For the test, connect a second monitor via HDMI or VGA. Transfer the image to the new monitor and see if the other functions work. If there is no picture on the additional screen, then the problem is not in the display, but in the video card. If everything works fine, then the problem is in the Lenovo laptop screen. Try replacing it.
Reset BIOS settings
One of the reasons why a Lenovo laptop does not turn on and the screen is lit may be a malfunction in the BIOS. In this case, try rolling back the system settings to the factory version. To do this, enter the BIOS using F2 during boot, and then reset the settings using F9 and save the data with F10. If the screen does not work, such manipulations will have to be performed blindly, but you can connect an additional display.
The second option for resetting the BIOS is to press a special button on the motherboard or remove the battery on the motherboard for a few minutes.
Reinstall the RAM stick
In a situation where the screen does not light up on a Lenovo laptop, the cause may be poor contact of the RAM strip. If the malfunction appears after the next cleaning, you will have to disassemble the device again and make sure that all the strips are inserted correctly and the cables are connected. For proper disassembly and assembly, use the manufacturer's manual. In this case, the likelihood of errors occurring is minimal.
Sometimes, if the monitor does not show, the solution may be to reinstall the RAM strip. This is especially important if water has entered the laptop, or it has been in a damp area for a long time. Take the following steps:
- Unplug the charger. If moisture gets into the device, remove the power source.
- Remove the cover protecting the compartment with RAM sticks. Some Lenovo laptops do not have a separate cover, so you will have to remove the back completely.
- Disconnect the module that is fixed on the motherboard and bend the latches.
- Blow out the connectors and clean places where traces of oxidation are visible.
- Replace the RAM board. Install it at a 45 degree angle. At the same time, make sure that the fasteners secure the RAM strip.
- Try turning on the device again.
In addition to RAM, there may be other hardware faults. Sometimes the screen of a Lenovo laptop does not work due to damage to the screen cable, short circuit of the keyboard, failure of the inverter or backlight. It is unlikely that you can fix such problems yourself, so it is better to contact the service. The most difficult problem is damage to the motherboard. In this case, Lenovo will not show any signs of life at all.
Solve the issue with waking up from sleep mode
There are situations when the screen does not work when resuming from sleep mode. In this case, the question arises of how to turn on the display on a Lenovo laptop. First, make sure that the latest drivers are installed on your device. If not, update them. Also pay attention to the features of waking up from Windows sleep mode. To configure correctly, do the following:
- Enter Device Manager.
- Go to Mice/Keyboard.
- Right-click on the equipment and go to “Properties”.
- Go to the “Power Management” tab.
- Uncheck the box next to “Allow the computer to wake from sleep mode.”
Save, and in the future do not prohibit the device from waking up simultaneously with the mouse and keyboard. Otherwise, it may be difficult to get out of sleep.
Check the device for overheating
Another reason why the screen on a Lenovo laptop does not work is simple overheating. To check, use the Spessy app. If it shows the GPU temperature is too high, you need to check the cooling system and clean it. Alternatively, you may need to install and turn on more powerful fans.
No battery
Lenovo laptop won't turn on? It is likely that the device simply does not have a battery. This situation is relevant when it comes to working with a device without connecting it via a wire to the network.
Correcting the situation is easy and simple. It is enough to insert the battery into the laptop, into its lower part. The user will see a special niche on the panel. The missing part of the laptop is inserted into it. You can then resume using your device. No results? Don't despair! There are still a lot of options!
Battery charge
How to turn on a Lenovo laptop if the battery is inserted, but the device still does not want to work? It cannot be ruled out that the battery has no charge. In this case, you will not be able to work on a laptop without additionally connecting it to the network.
It is enough to connect a special power cord to the machine and then plug it into a power outlet. And then wait a little. The light on the front panel of the laptop should light up indicating the battery charge. A little wait (usually a few hours) - and you can work with Lenovo without additional wires. True, until the battery runs out again. As practice shows, an average charge lasts for 4 hours.
Why is my Lenovo laptop screen not working?
Lenovo equipment is of high quality and functionality, but even it sometimes breaks down. There are different problems, one of the most common is that the screen on Lenovo does not work. Symptoms can be very different: low quality picture, stripes on the screen, gray tint of the monitor, complete absence of signal. In any case, the equipment should be referred to specialists - using diagnostic equipment, specialists will identify the nature of the malfunction and eliminate them. But first things first.
Why is my Lenovo screen not working?
- The power button is broken. This is a mechanical element that can stick or break if exposed to dirt or moisture. Replacing a broken button with a new one is a simple and inexpensive procedure.
- A black display may be due to a broken backlight or inverter. Sometimes the inverter can be repaired, but usually you just need to replace the failed parts with new ones.
- Often the cause of a black laptop screen is hardware problems. This is most likely to be a broken video chip (it often breaks if the equipment overheats, so you should carefully monitor the uninterrupted functioning of the cooling system), a faulty south bridge, or lack of contact.
- If the laptop refuses to work at all, or even turn on, the reason most likely lies in a damaged cable. Sometimes this part can be simply repaired, but more often a complete replacement of the component is necessary.
- Overheating of the laptop leads to the video chip being desoldered. It will not be difficult for an experienced craftsman to cope with this problem.
- A damaged matrix, faulty cable or matrix connector is one of the most common reasons why the screen does not want to work. A slight bend is enough to disable the matrix, so you should handle the equipment very carefully. Connect your laptop via VGA or HDMI to an external computer or TV monitor: if no image appears, this is most likely the case.
In addition to mechanical damage to the hardware, there are hardware malfunctions - you could accidentally press the screen light switch off, set the brightness level to zero, or a failure could occur in the drivers or hardware settings.
Where can I get my laptop screen repaired?
Regardless of what caused the Lenovo laptop screen to stop working , deciding to fix the problem yourself is not the best choice. Firstly, there is a high probability of damaging the device even more (for example, due to incorrect diagnosis), and secondly, by repairing or replacing any part yourself, you lose the official warranty from Lenovo. There are many service centers in Moscow, whose technicians will repair any damage.
If you want to get
professional service, a guarantee of work results at an affordable cost, contact our Lenovo service center in Moscow - we will provide repair or replacement of the matrix, we will delight you with the quality of work (we give an official guarantee), low prices (thanks to direct supplies of components without extra charges) , a wide range of work performed.

Nutrition
The next reason is somewhat similar to the situation with a laptop battery. Laptop refuses to turn on? It cannot be ruled out that there is no connection to a power source in principle. Why is this layout highlighted as a separate item?
The fact is that some Lenovo laptops are equipped with a built-in battery. It is located under the bottom panel and cannot be removed easily. In this case, it is recommended to find the power cord and plug it into the network. And then connect it to the device.
If there is no power, the machine will turn on and work. Still no progress? Lenovo laptop won't turn on? What other situations occur? How to deal with them?
Wires
For example, the whole issue may be a damaged power cord. Such situations are especially relevant for older laptops. Or if the device's power cord is frequently used/pinched/exposed to external influences. It is very problematic for the user to diagnose such a problem.
If there is a similar power cord, it is recommended to connect it to the laptop and then try to turn it on again. Otherwise, it is better to take the device with all components to a service center. They will quickly help you sort out the problem.
Another alternative solution is to purchase a new power supply cable for a laptop of one model or another. The new component will 100% work. Accordingly, the computer will turn on. But what if there is no progress even after replacing the wire?
Video card
What other options might there be? All the previously listed scenarios are very common phenomena. But they are quickly excluded. What should I do if my Lenovo laptop displays a black screen? It is important to pay attention to what is happening to the device as a whole.
For example, when the cooler is running. And it’s normal - it doesn’t make loud noise, it performs its functions. In fact, the laptop turns on, but there is no image on the screen. What to do then?
It's worth checking the video card. It is likely that it is faulty. A black screen instead of a computer or laptop being turned on is a very common occurrence when problems arise with a video card. For unknowing users, it is better to use the services of a service provider to test the theory. After all, you can easily damage the remaining components of the laptop. After repairing or replacing the video card, the problem should go away on its own.
RAM
Lenovo laptop won't turn on? What to do? A similar situation cannot be ruled out due to an equipment conflict. For example, video cards and RAM. Or the RAM has broken down altogether. Relevant for old laptops or those that have been modified to one degree or another. Especially when the user independently went through the hardware of the device.
As a rule, if the problem lies in the RAM, the laptop will emit a certain signal when turned on. It is impossible not to hear him. Everything can be solved either by repairing the laptop (the computer is taken to a service center, then the working gadget is taken away), or by purchasing a new device.
What circumstances can affect the performance of Lenovo? There are many reasons for this problem. And identifying them on your own is not as easy as it seems. What to do if your Lenovo laptop doesn’t want to work? The monitor does not turn on, although everything is fine with the hardware, the power cord, connection connectors, and the battery are also normal. Why are problems not eliminated?
It is likely that the whole point is in the design of the computer system. A faulty or damaged BIOS quite often brings a lot of problems to users. In this case, the computer may not turn on, simply reboot, turn off on its own and not save what was done while working with the device.
The only thing that helps here is reinstalling and reconfiguring the BIOS. This is usually done by system administrators, as well as service center employees. It is not recommended for the average user to mess with the BIOS on their own. It is possible that an inept reinstallation will turn a Lenovo laptop into a pile of useless metal. Fortunately, this happens extremely rarely.
Typical causes of malfunction
- Power failure, battery, charging or network problems. For example, if the battery charge is critically low, the laptop may turn off.
- Failure of the display, cable, backlight lamps
- Overheating, sudden shutdown of laptops by protection, failure of the south or north bridges. Cooler problems, clogged ventilation
- Windows Errors
- Incorrect system and Bios settings
- Excessive amount of software, games, “heavy” programs, especially those infected with viruses. This causes errors in the OS.
- RAM or CPU problem
- Lost contact in the device module slots. Occurs due to shaking, mechanical damage, dust inside the computer case
- Exposure to liquids, falls, impacts and neglect.
- Individual faults. Depends on the design features, manufacturers and models (see the manual for the PC).
HDD
It also happens that, despite the fact that the Lenovo laptop turns on, the OS does not boot or is constantly rebooted. Then you need to make sure the hard drive is working. If it is missing or in a faulty condition, there is nothing to be surprised about. In fact, the gadget works, but there is nowhere for it to load the operating system.
An extremely rare occurrence. It can be easily diagnosed by contacting service centers. In this situation, the laptop needs to be supplemented with a hard drive that will work properly. The operating system is installed on it, after which a second attempt to work with the device occurs. Everything is fine? Then you don’t have to worry about the integrity of the laptop and its further operation. Still no result? Lenovo laptop won't turn on? Other situations cannot be excluded. Which ones specifically? What else is recommended for users to pay attention to?

Sometimes a computer or laptop turns on and then turns off. Or it constantly reboots. There is no need to be afraid of such circumstances. You need to pay attention to the operation of the cooler. Is it not working or is it functioning normally?
In any case, if a Lenovo laptop (or any other) starts to turn off spontaneously or reboots constantly, you can come to the conclusion that the culprit is simple overheating of the equipment.
It occurs for various reasons. One of them is a clogged cooler. Any laptop needs to be cleaned from time to time. And the cooler of the device too. It is necessary to take all possible actions to eliminate overheating. For example, clean the fan or replace it altogether. It is also worth paying attention to the position of the computer - the laptop should not be positioned in such a way that access to oxygen in the cooler area is blocked. All this will help restore the functionality of the gadget.
Screen
Sometimes the problem is a faulty laptop display. Theoretically, it will work, but the user will never see the image. If we are talking about damage to the display, then a new screen must be installed on the Lenovo laptop. This is done only in service centers. And this is not always the case.
Most often, if the display malfunctions, you just have to buy a new laptop. And it doesn’t matter what brand the device was - Lenovo or ASUS, for example. The main thing is that the reasons for failure are the same for all laptops.
Now it’s clear why the Lenovo laptop doesn’t work. The monitor does not turn on, the system reboots, or any other gadget failure is observed - different situations were considered. The help of service centers in such situations is not always required.
How to deal with problems yourself?
It is quite possible to restore your PC yourself. If the work concerns hardware settings or simple change of modules (when they are not soldered). For a rough diagnosis, use the above list of causes of the malfunction. Let's look at safe and effective ways to troubleshoot problems:
Connect your laptop to the network; it's probably just dead. See the battery status. No effect? We inspect the connection along the circuit: socket, charger, computer. Disconnect and wiggle the plugs.
Use another monitor , does the image appear? Then you can try to fix screen problems. Review the system settings, it is better to return them to the basic ones. As a last resort (if you have the skills), try disconnecting the matrix cable, checking and cleaning the contacts. The cable is damaged - installing a new one is useless. If all else fails, the matrix is most likely faulty. Then you cannot avoid the help of a specialist.
Has your PC worked long and hard? Possible overheating, let it cool thoroughly. Ventilation openings must not be blocked. Have you heard the noise of the cooler, hot air? If the ventilation fails, the computer turns off automatically. Parts can suffer from severe overheating, and the south bridge often burns out. Replace the thermal paste and purchase a cooling pad.
Rolling back or reinstalling the OS helps (only the display does not work). This resets errors and settings. You can start by limiting yourself to returning to the restore point (when everything was fine). Doesn’t work - reset completely (if you have the OBC on a flash drive or disk).
Reset:
- Disconnecting the computer from the power supply.
- Remove the battery.
- Press and hold the power button for 30-60 seconds (reset charge)
Return to factory BIOS settings.
- To turn on, press the Del and F2 – F12 keys
- In the menu, click on Load BIOS Setup Defaolts or Load Safe-Fail Defaolts.
- Reboot, done.
Reinstalling the BIOS helps. The order is:
- Download the installation file from the manufacturer’s website •
- You need to enter information about the model and OS in the support section so that there is no error •
- Before installation, make sure that the battery is charged and the power supply is connected. A power interruption during BIOS installation kills laptops. We are waiting for the process to complete.
Inspect the installed software and games. This is probably the cause of the problem; remove unnecessary and problematic programs and games. It is more convenient to do this with simple utilities such as Glari Utilities and CCleaner.
Removing the RAM module and cleaning the connectors helps light the screen.
Sequencing:
- Turn off the power, remove the battery
- Next, unscrew the separate RAM cover or remove the laptop cover
- Slowly unscrew the fasteners and take out the modules. Use a thin, non-pointed object if you don't have a tool.
- Cleaning the slots
- There may be additional contacts, then it is better to insert the module strip into them at an angle of 45°
- Continue in reverse order
Clogging of connectors and ventilation occurs due to dust. The structure must be cleaned regularly, once every 1-2 years. In some modifications, the RAM may be soldered in, in which case it can only be replaced by a technician.
Spilled liquid. Thorough drying is necessary; if there is a lot of moisture, remove the lid. Only after this perform the above-described manipulations. Cleaning the connectors and reinstalling the RAM stick helps.
Has the laptop suffered serious mechanical damage (shocks, falling from a height), are there any cracks in the case? It is better to contact a service center, the motherboard may be damaged.
For any action, you must carefully read the user manual.
Devices of different types, models, companies have design and control features. The manual may contain descriptions of rare problems unique to this computer. If the problem is serious and you can’t fix the problem, stop there. Unskillful intervention in equipment is more expensive than conventional repairs in service centers.
