I also noticed that when I turn the laptop on, the fan spins for 10 seconds before not spinning anymore, does this meaning anything? BIOS related? Motherboard related?Īny recommendations on what to do? Thank you
Is there anything else I can do to make this piece of junk work? I'm about ready to tear this thing apart or send it to the shop or chuck it into the garbage. Gave the keyboard a brisk punch maybe a couple of times. Switched charging ports, charging brick unit is fine I'm pretty sure. Letting the Laptop w/ battery completely die, even pressed and held power button a few times (10s) to make Removing the battery and AC supply and pressing the power button for 60-120 seconds, then plugging in AC supply. I have tried using an external monitor, nothing shows up. The keyboard does not work, mouse does not show on screen. When I power the laptop the ESC, CAPS LOCK, F1, and F4 keys light up. And no I have not tortured it, I used it mainly to watch lectures at my desk, browse, and maybe some light gaming every now and then.įor some reason unknown, the laptop will not show it's screen, despite it turning on no matter what I do. Hello, I have been scouring the web for hours looking for a solution for this problem. Lenovo Photo Library (including lots of wallpapers)ĮDIT: Removing the ram stick and booting solved it!

When reinstalling Windows, try the Lenovo disc images, as longer battery times have been reported, probably due to custom drivers. A can of compressed air may be useful too, and a bottle of isopropyl alcohol and cotton buds are good for cleaning, but not on the screen. The only tools you need for servicing a ThinkPad are a set of small screwdrivers and a nylon spudger (for taking the screen and keyboard bezels off), and possibly a pair of tweezers. Corporate bulk purchasers don't usually go for it. Not only will it have better brightness, colour, contrast and viewing angles - you will most probably more than make up the investment when selling it. When buying a new ThinkPad, consider taking the IPS screen option if possible, as it doesn't cost much. When buying a used ThinkPad, remember to check that the BIOS is not locked with a supervisor's password and that Computrace is not enabled and activated.
