You uploaded this 5 years ago and 30 minutes ago it helped me fix this problem in my Lenovo. Thank

thanks for the tutorial, it's seems simple to just suggesting "remove the battery, wait a few seconds, and try again", but it literally saved my life, a big thanks from the bottom of my heart

You are a lifesaver!! My laptop was stuck in sleep mode and I stuck a pin inside to hit the reset button and the laptop would not respond at all until I opened it up and disconnected the battery and now fully functional again! I called Lenovo customer service and they wanted me to bring the laptop to be seen by a technician and suggested I go to Best Buy. Thanks again for posting this video.

Thank you so much. You helped me with my Lenovo thinkpad. Keep making more videos because you have no idea on how many people you will help out. Thank you again and have a great day

Thank thank you. This video have just saved my life. I’ve been working on a project for days and my deadline is tonight, my Yoga model decided to shut down. This method worked.

Holy Shit. Thank you. Just saved me a 70 dollar trip to Frys for a diagnostic and 50 dollars for a new battery. Fixed in literally a few minutes.

Thank you. My Lenovo P14s just stucked at blinking light. I'm glad you mentioned 5 second button hold which solved my problem.

Perfect, I was browsing after a BIOS update what to do, so I did remove the drive and ram and trc. While starting to get a bit houples your video makes my efforts successful. Thanks for the new knowledge.

My fix was inspired by this video: I disconnected the Lithium button battery (backup battery) on my X270 for 15 seconds and when i plugged it back in my laptop would then power on again! (Of course I had to reset the date/time) On the X270, I had to remove the "fake" internal battery to get to the backup lithium button battery. Thanks for making this video! (and the idea of using a credit card to pry open the laptop)

Thank you. THANK YOU. THANK YOOOU. I literally have a $500 laptop in my cart on best buys laptop. Then I decided maybe I'll try & fix my laptop myself. It was just so odd to me that I was using my laptop one day with absolutely no bugs or problems when suddenly it wouldn't boot up. Unplugging the battery & holding down the power button (saw in another video) fixed my laptop like magic. I"m still not 100% sure what on earth the problem was but it turned on & it's working! It even opened up to the game I was in when I last used it lol Thank you so much for this video! :)

You got prayers from many. Thx for sharing 👏

I have a Flex 3 1130. I saw this on your website as well, but this solution didn't solve it. Disconnected both the main and CMOS batteries, and still it acts this way, and Lenovo support has been useless. So, thank you for your effort and I hope it helps others who have this problem.

Some bios options on different lenovo models allow you to power it down from bios for repair, which may drain it all the way and then charge it back up passing sleep mode but this (disassembly) method worked perfectly on a new ideapad. This seems like a common issue even on new models from lenovo.

Thanks a lot. You saved my day. I was also facing the same issue with my Lenovo L480. Your fix helped me. ❤️❤️

I'm glad it works on my Lenovo Flex 3. Just actually Did it. You save me some bucks lol ^^ thank you Idol

I had the same problem, but the internals of my device was different (different model). I wasn't able to detach the power cable because it will destroy the seal. What I did was detach the ram and attach it again. E voila! It worked! Thank you for this video still.

[superdude]

Thanks. Worked for me. 1st time I disconnected battery and waited didn't work. I then disconnected battery again and held power button for 30 sec. That worked in my case. Great video.
