Lenovo 320 series won't power on

It turned out to be more expensive to properly fix than to just buy a new laptop but I did get it up and running.

This is the one I have. It has the same 64bit set along with some other useful tools and a carrying case.

Your help was much appreciated my friend. Unplugging the battery cable and then plug it in again did help me. Back in the past when the cellphone got stuck we used to do the same thing by simply taking the battery out. Unfortunately, everything is irremovable nowadays.

I can imagine this video was uploaded 3years ago but it just saved me a lotta cash today
My laptop just wouldn't turn on for weeks now and I took it to an engineer who told me there's a problem with the motherboard.
But just following these steps, I have fixed it
Thank you so much for this tutorial
God bless you 💖

Your video was very helpful. I had the same exact issue but it wasn't a keyboard issue for me. After trying ur steps of dismantling, removing battery, etc (5-6 times) mine finally came on without shutting off anymore (every 5sec before). Many thanks and respect bro

This worked like a charm! Thank you for saving me a lot of money in repairs. It’s strange how manufacturers are making it hard to get to the battery like this

Thanks for tips, you saved me an 8 hour drive. Much appreciated.

An old plastic credit/store card can also be used to go around the edges to break the 'seal' after removing the screws.

Thank you! Perfect solution to the exact problem I was having for my daughter's laptop. Saved me a ton of frustration.

Good thing you wrote it off. This usually required a motherboard plus keyboard replacement. The recessed reset hole beside the sd card slot can turn this Notebook on well.

Thank you so much I have been in tears I worked really hard on my assignment and I’m a single mum with five children and I can’t afford another computer or to get it fixed and this is fixed it God bless you and the name of Jesus

Thanks for the video.
Found out it was the power cord and not the battery. Changed the battery anyway since I had the computer apart.

Thanx alot I used the tutorial for my Ideapad 130 and it worked perfectly. It was the only detailed tutorial that actually helped.

Thank you! Very useful! My E550 was not turning on at all so I took it appart and it seems like the CMOS battery had to be uplugged/replugged for it to work again

My wife's Lenovo 320 took a crap and would not come on. I didn't have to remove the CMOS battery but removing the main battery seemed to do the trick! I noticed that the cooling fan was really dirty so I decided to clean it with some electronic spray cleaner on it and all the connection points. It's back together now and purring like a kitten! Thank you so much for making this video.

Thank you bro, it was really really great.
Since last week, my laptop, on power button dropped some drops of water, Tried many things to fix it, but not sucessful. By chance I saw your videos, and now I fixed it.
It worked to me from 20:25.
Lenovo Ideapad 330-15ikb
Best wishes for you

These integrated keyboards seem to be problematic. I have seen plenty with a fault that types specific characters on their own. Disconnecting the kb and using an external kb is not an option as the power button is also disabled. Workaround bormally is to apply thin sticky tape to all but the left 2 contacts on the ribbon cable. Left 2 with the cable pointed away from you. Carefully reinsert the ribbon cable and you have disabled the kb but for the power button.

Thank you, it ended up being a shorted lithium ion battery in my sons S340, he must have stepped on it. Extremely helpful

[opelojuly]

Thanks loads, first attempt to remove the battery and start the laptop worked like a charm

[Swenser]

Suspect bad battery. An important signal coming from battery to super io on motherboard is missing hence the bad behaviour. Also check pins out of keyboard connector with MMEter. Check input mosfets at ac adapter. Maybe shorting one of them would bypass the control signalling and get things behaving normal. Would be interesting to keep playing with it.

Their is a way through to this. Onthe left side of laptop, you will find a novo button. The Novo button is usually located on the side or near the power button of the machine. The button is either a small button or pinhole with a backwards arrow icon next to it that resembles an upside down U. Just insert a pin to press the button and the system will start. Buying a new laptop for such a small trouble doesnt seem worth it. Hope it helps

Thank you Micheal the Computer guy. This video was really helpful with my laptop not turning on.
