Easy Fix Easy Fix Lenovo Laptop Flashing Power Light Will Not Power Up - Disassembly

[@ironlotus490]

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

[@boikid1293]

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.

[@sarsvfx]

Same Amma try to take out the battery will it 100% work my laptop never fell or anything

[@mukyumukyun]

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

[@sean07de2k24]

Wait so, remove the battery, the laptop back together, plug it in and turn it on?

[@mukyumukyun]

@@sean07de2k24 yes, my laptop is actually support 2 nvme ssd, but when I want to plug a new ssd, for some reason my laptop is on (maybe I missclick restart instead of power off) so when I plugged it in it's just flash the monitor and it went off and I can't turn it back on again, and it's signaling as you've seen in the video (I assumed what happened is short circuit), it's worse than you would think because my laptop is less than 2 months old (and it's equivalent of 900 dollars, lenovo yoga slim 7) and my home is far from a city or trusted repair shop, so yeah, as instructed in the video my laptop went on again

[@mrthaiguy94]

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.

[@apatheticame]

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.

[@peaches6983]

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

[@URTechDotCa]

Thanks Jeanette

[@animespiration]

You saved me from killing myself due to frustration. thanks a lot

[@FKACIGS]

Dramatic much 😅

[@lennyste]

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)

[@URTechDotCa]

Good hack. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@fenix23]

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

[@URTechDotCa]

Awesome Fenix. Glad it helped. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Szwanczar26]

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.

[@ragingrobot9028]

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.

[@jesskroner4523]

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! :)

[@samsen201]

Hummmm. You were almost ready to buy that $500 laptop from Best Buy. I was suspicious of something and now your comment may explain why there are 52 Thumbs Down, for one such a great fix tutorial. Worst Buy, I hate you!!!

[@kankanmalakar]

Which game were you playing?

[@dinsejal1]

Watched your video..its pretty cool.My problem is I disassembled my Lenovo G580 laptop.And now may be I forgot how the connections of the power cables circuitry were inside because my laptop cannot be powered on.After seeing your video I saw some p/cable which you handled.Would very like if you can show how all cables inside computer are connected to allow me recoup my Laptop.Thks and have a nice day.

[@superdude4402]

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.

[@FlowingFlows]

whemn the battery out and chager in and then the keyboard lights up for a sec than off its not charging ether

[@jadelopez2257]

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.

[@blkqtpy]

I guess I’ll start googling stuff because his method didn’t work for me I’m going to try to find out where the heck the ram is because I have no idea

[@Ezio669]

Man, thanks a lot for this tutorial. My issue was that I cannot switch on the laptop and also if I connect the power the light doesn't even blink. therefore as you instructed I removed the cable and plug it again and it started working . once again thanks for this tutorial.

[@URTechDotCa]

Glad it helped. Thanks for the comment

[@sujithmannarkkad]

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

[@URTechDotCa]

Glad to hear that

[@djsmoothmasterz]

Thanks a lot dude, you save my life 🙏I just have the same problems with my Lenovo Flex 15 😓😓😓this work for me, thanks 😘🙏

[@midnightchurningspriteshaq8533]

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.

[@petelambert1977]

Did you try the 'reset' button prior to opening up the laptop? I ask because it is supposed to disconnect the battery from the device (w/o opening a new ice up and physically unplugging the battery)

[@scoreteam]

Thx you saved my money and life

[@johnlee701]

Thank you, this has just saved me a lot of time and money.

[@ernster500]

Do you know what is causing the computer to not power up? I have had to do this disconnect twice after replacing the bios and main battery. Would be great to solve what is causing the "no power up" issue. Great video, btw!

[@StephenCh]

It normally starts happening o ce you start opening your laptop. Idk why but there is probably a safety thing. The battery disconnects so that you dont shock yourself.

[@knightrideriii6146]

thanks bro, i had the same problem with another lenovo laptop and i was think something was wrong with the battery so i pulled it, but i wanted to check if it was a common problem so that just saved me from buying a new battery!

[@jaspritdhivakar5413]

Thnq you man...iam really scared of my new lenovo s145....its now working...

[@binadam124]

You got prayers from many. Thx for sharing 👏

[@jobbyshobby1551]

I am facing the same issue with my Lenovo Ideapad 100s the only thing that's different is it's not the power switch thats kept on flashing its battery. I hope this can be helped with that technique of yours.

[@RafikExe]

Hey i'm using thinkbook 14 g2 and problem appears too and lights flashing on battery icon

[@RafikExe]

My question is now have you find way to prevent it, and does this battery pull help the most and how often this happen as of now

[@saajithaliff2193]

Thankyou! Just as i removed the screws of the laptop, even before opening it up, it started working 😅

[@RafikExe]

Hey same here im using lenovo thinkbook 14 g2 and its been two time when the light flash non bootable thing happen, i unsrew before finished its fixed, i would like to know how to continouly prevent that tho

[@Berlm]

OMG U SAVED MY LIFE!! MY $1000 LAPTOP IS NOW SAFE. UR A LEGEND MAN

[@Sateeshbabu]

Thank you sir it's working on my lenovo IdeaPad z 510.

[@kurtsjelin5727]

thank you. the 5 second hold down on power button worked for me

[@PandaUTC]

Concept here is to by pass the battery, just like old days, take out the battery and run it on power. This condition often occur when ur laptop goes to hibernating

[@uniquelydeepak]

Will it work for Yoga 2 pro also? I have the light blinking only on charger connected. No lights on battery. Thanks in advance.

[@sambillings9986]

Thank you so much you just saved me 50 Bucks ,😂❤️ I ll save you million bucks if you are a frequent traveller as i am a travel agent Stay Blessed ❤️❤️

[@ubiquo8133]

Helped me with my t480 - thanks, bro

[@gemgem3952]

What will you recommend to do if after this is still not working?

[@khalilah40]

Thanks so much, was scared to do it but managed. Great video!!!!!

[@atifhossain6779]

You are a saviour, I thought we would have to repair it but then your video saved me money thanks! You aren't yourself a new sub.

[@Lakeshorein]

Thank you so much for sharing ur experience.I fixed my lap top how u explained it works great.

[@grmeckivuk6485]

Thank you men! Grettings from Serbia!

[@nickr7950]

Do you think this would work with an idea pad 5 (also Lenovo)

[@lisamoyom]

Thank you so much for this I was panicking but it did the job and was super Easy!

[@lakaykardo17]

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

[@Not-A-Mellow_Fellow]

It saved me $1400 thank you so much

[@URTechDotCa]

It has saved us too. Glad we could help.

[@sixtysixstyx]

Thanks a bunch! Just had this problem occur and I'm studying for finals, managed to fix it in the library in just a few minutes!

[@asaphmelchizidek5441]

Where'd you get a screw driver in a library?

[@THEFREAKSHOWERS]

Asaph Melchizidek i carry a tiny box bonifide hardware that u can get on amazon. Its to fix things like phones or laptops

[@clarabruselas8444]

Omg you saved me big time, i managed to get my one day old Lenovo 520 into this problem, my main problem was i didn't know which was the battery plug, im familiar with mac guts but not Lenovo's, huge thanks!

[@maztergee]

Thanks for your attempts, but we have a lenovo Ideapad 81VU,, and disconnecting the battery the power lights are still blinking.

[@URTechDotCa]

Ugggh! Perhaps yours is just dead.

[@worldaviation4k]

One time my laptop that i clicked to turn off and put in the bag, didn't actually turn off, it overheated in my bag and then some cable detached according to the repair guy who i watched open it up and just plugged in the cable. Now i have a other problem similar to yours, light is on but wont start. At first it used to take an hour to finally start. The clock was always very slow. Sometimes it would jump forward to an incorrect time. Now slower and slower until it wont turn on but the light is on. I guess i will buy a screw driver

[@karlpaloma2840]

Hi i was wondering i had a lenovo g40-30 laptop is power on but led indicator light is not light up o blinking

[@Conquersofthesea]

so what you said about the flashing light my X280 lenovo laptop does turn on again but when i turn it off it goes pack into the constant flashing light sequence

[@marissamoyle3084]

Thank you so much this helped a lot. I appreciate you. I was so scared to pull on the wires and I didn’t see the little lip on the battery at first so thank you🙏🏼😁

[@Technology-life996]

YOUR chit ur cate the video in last time 😠😠😠😠 plz not believe this video because the problem BIOS reprogram tha and this gay the face video add

[@JJRamirezP]

Hi there. I have a Lenovo x230, got it 6 months ago, almost new. Used as second laptop. Yesterday it did not start on. Power button lights on, green color, the keyboard and the webcam lights on, also the speaker and microphone buttons (orange color) and the icons of the wifi and CPU on the lower screen bezel lights on when I push the power button. Then all go off except for the power button. The only thing that does not lights on is the finger print sensor, which blinks always in green color. No noise at all, no beeps, just the vibrations of the CPU (HDD) when touching the PC underneath. After a couple of minutes, it feels a little hot underneath, where the CPU units go. What I have done to check it: 1. Power button test, pressing it for 1 minute while no battery o power cord connected. 2. Remove of the CMOS 3. Remove of the RAM sticks and replaced by similar from a running PC. 4. Tried booting without CMOS 5. Tried booting without RAM 6. Tried booting without CPU 7. Tried booting without KEYBOARD 8. Tried booting without PALMREST 9. Left overnight without battery and power cord. 10. Tested the CMOS with a multimeter, resulting in 3V reading. I refuse to think the motherboard is toasted, so I hope someone might have some experience in what could be the fault. Things to look out: the finger print scanner and the fact that the CPU get warm (while the power button shows on), as in a regular PC when working. Also, the fact that the computer behavior at starting attempts with and without CMOS battery is the same. Provably the BIOS chip? Note that I have not tampered with this PC at all. I bought it from a Lady that almost never used, she got it as a payment, and stored it. Since I have a T440P as daily use, I did not start use the X230 much, which is stock in hard drive, RAM (4) and everything else, so it is very slow. Please check my video about it kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXbYcn1qZ9eUjNU Thanks

[@Potew]

Didn’t work for me. I have a thinkpad T420 with the exact same problem, tried to remove the battery (external) and put it back in, perhaps I have to disconnect it from the MoBo?

[@johninoruiz8933]

Good day, I have Lenovo x240 same problem with this but this laptop has no internal battery. what should I do?

[@thabomaudi8747]

You sir🎉 works in South Africa too🇿🇦

Question I have a Lenovo Ideapad i5 and have lost most of the bottom screws that hold the laptop together. Is there a place on the web to order the screws? Thanks in advance.

[@andruskyg.8836]

Hi! Mine is has this issue power light comes on, no activity on power on.(yoga 700-11ISK). Can you please tell me if it's about a dead motherboard? Thank you

[@URTechDotCa]

It is impossible to tell remotely, but I would always pull the back off and unplug the battery for an hour or two before I gave up on it. Let us know how it works out.

[@myiq170]

hello I have Lenovo S340 and it will not power on, i have followed your instruction's and after I reconnect the buttery its doing the same thing as before, when I press the power button I get 3 flashes of the power indicator in amber color and that is it, where would I go from here, I am an experience software and hard ware I just need to know what to replace or do can you help me, thank you in advance

[@mariyamjamil832]

[@eugenelayug4174]

Will it work on lenovo ideapad 320??

[@todesto]

mine is flashing without battery (detachable) when I plug in the power cord and won't power up. do I need battery for this to work? I have G580

[@jeffgoodroad1506]

I have a Lenovo Idea Pad Slim, and the power button just blinks with a black screen. This happened after I accidentally powered off the unit in the middle of a Fresh Install of Windows 10. I tried disconnecting the battery, but It's still blinking when reconnected. I should at least be able to get the post screen, but nothing. Any thoughts? I am and experienced PC builder, but these cheap model Lenovos are a different beast apparently.

[@tonylane3424]

You are the go-to guy for me. Thanks so much!!

[@TalentTacticsConsultinginc]

Thank you! Taking the battery out did the trick!

[@URTechDotCa]

Glad it helped!

[@JamesLewis]

I have a Yogo 2 Pro, from about 2014, it was working when I last used it, but when I tried to power it up after not using it for a couple of months, it just flashes the keyboard backlight, as well as the light on the power button. Someone has suggested that this could be an issue with the CMOS battery, I'd appreciate any suggestions, as I don't really want to have to replace it right now.

[@dragonballthings688]

Remove it and put it there again

[@momogunsabah]

I have problem with pc Lenovo M720s. Power button green color and blink 3 second intervals. Pc cannot turn on. Any solution, please share. Thanks.

[@StephenCh]

Ur laptop's anatomy is the exact same as mine. Probably from the same series. Im gunna try this and see if it will work. I just opened my laptop and did nothing bit unscrew some screws and boom it wont charge neither can it turn on. I have no idea what I did. Ima gunna try reconnecting the battery and the small circle battery

[@chimchim4616]

[@ranzmatthew192]

does it works also in lenovo ideapad-350? thank you.

[@duderaven8369]

does it work on Toshiba

[@mjxplant]

Any other suggestions when that does not work? My light is still flashing and the laptop will not power on. I have tried with the battery in and out, with power supply and without.

[@lachko973]

Thanks! Saved one T440S ;)

[@URTechDotCa]

Glad I could help!

[@funstuffonthenet5573]

I removed the battery on a Lenovo thinkpad X1 carbon. But it only works for a few minutes. Then it will at some point shutdown and end up in that state again with blinking lights. Only happened when I walked away. Once at windows login screen. Once at Ubuntu live CD loading screen.

[@spideyman4406]

URTechDotCa Hi Lovely video I understand the instructions but what exact screw has to be used to get the 9 screws out of the back

[@devae98]

Ryan Haggard Those screws don’t come out. It sounds like you may have a Yoga 260. Well at least on my Yoga 260 they don’t come completely out of the bottom casing.

[@tapangisolution7913]

I have a Lenovo laptop with no power indication. Once I removed the internal battery and insert it,there is a orange light blink for 2 or 3 seconds and then went off. No charging sign, no power indication. Everything is working fine. Please help

[@Mw2Fiend202]

any advice if the laptop (same model) isn't flashing but will not charge or turn on? The red light wont even turn on when the charger is plugged in.

[@ElenhSoulmatee]

hello, i have a lenovo ideapad 3 and it wont turn on. when i press the start button the button lights up but the fan wont spin. when i connect the charger the charging light is on but still nothing on the fan. i removed the battery put it back on, pressed the start button again just the lights. redid the whole process without the battery and just the charging cable again only lights but flashing this time. i cant access bios. i tried to reset bios with the reset novo button again only light. is there anything else to try?

[@randhirsrivastav3584]

Thank you so much for this information. You made my day! 👍👍👍

[@randhirsrivastav3584]

[@TIMAinternalarts]

Awesome - thanks brother. My wife needed hers whilst tutoring a student when this happened. Very helpful indeed, especially in regards to getting the back off with the card! Personally I'll stick with Apple.

[@KnockOut101inc]

So you will have no way to repair it yourself? lol

[@youtubeobserverz]

Cannot thank you enough, worked perfectly!!!

[@rayngobeni9280]

Hi , i have Lenovo g500 . it has a black flicking screen when switch on , but is always black

[@teresabarnes_staff-counsel5439]

This is such a common problem. Enjoy Teresa!

[@mohamadbarada6600]

Wonderful, it worked perfectly. A big thanks 💪👍

[@URTechDotCa]

Hi Mohamad; Hopefully it will not re-occur for you but I have seen mine go three or four times over the last few years... fortunately, it is an easy fix!

[@LunarMunchkin]

Also is there a way to prevent this from happening again???

[@IVAN3DX]

Thanks god it worked! I think it was the little song while waiting to reconnect the battery that did it!

[@olivianicole13830]

Mine wasn’t blinking but it wouldn’t turn on so I took the battery out and now it’s blinking but still won’t turn on, do you know what else it could be

[@thejkrew3408]

thank you sir! this worked for me. blessings your way!

Thanks a lot. I nearly binned my laptop but your instructions worked on mine.

[@darkblackchild01]

Lenovo g500 still not coming on with no light flashing but the fan is spinning, tried using another monitor still no picture on monitor but the hard drive is spinning

[@LunarMunchkin]

If I just let the laptop sit unplug from power and let it die by itself l, would that work just as well as actually pulling the battery? I just don't trust myself. You made it look fairly easy. But I think I'll try waiting for the battery to just run out of juice and see if that works the same. Currently the laptop is off and the power light is still blinking
