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.

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.

[@Mr16adrian]

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

[@LeninChari]

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

[@MichaelTheComputerGuy]

If you followed along and did what I did in the video your battery won't charge because it's not in the laptop.

[@FreeMind5094]

Them do that so the save on weight

[@thorgwen7656]

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

[@Reigns_TV-d8t]

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 💖

[@MichaelTheComputerGuy]

Thanks. I'm glad it helped you out.

[@rubenvanniekerk3172]

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

[@devonoved7]

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.

[@tomcha75]

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

[@chrisbeyer4506]

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.

[@opelojuly2340]

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

[@clinicalbill7704]

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

[@frsantariga]

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.

[@mastweb]

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

[@maitreyiramkumar7219]

You did a bios reset...

Thank you very much for making this video! It totally saved me.

[@lhatz4635]

Awesome! I was having this exact same problem and the only way we could get the computer to turn on was a pin in the reset button. It turns out the key board data cable was a bit loose and after following your instructions at about the 19-20 minute mark our issue has been fixed. Thanks!

OMG you are a lifesaver dude! I spilled water on my Lenovo Ideapad 3 and it wouldn't turn back on for me. I dreaded having to go spend more money to get it to a shop! Thanks to you $00.00 this mama had to spend

[@kellybihler1325]

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

[@YoutubeGoogle1]

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 ❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

[@YoutubeGoogle1]

I dont know maybe it was because of drops of water, or maybe it was because of updating the bios. Thanks any way.

[@YoutubeGoogle1]

Right, It does not work with the connected battery and the battery must be removed and only works with direct charge and turns on automatically. You've uploaded this video 2 years ago, did you find a solution for it? Or something else?

[@YoutubeGoogle1]

I disconnected Cmos battery and big battery, and now it works perfectly. Is it ok to use it without cmos battery for short and long time???

[@MichaelTheComputerGuy]

The keyboard is most likely the cause of it not powering up. Removing the cmos battery and main battery is just a work around. Finding a replacement keyboard may be difficult.

[@AnoNymous-2013]

NOT ALL IS LOST. I have a computer with the exact same problem as your customer's. There is a solution to it. Leave the battery and the CMOS battery connected. You power it on with the reset button next to the SD card slot. There's a pinhole next to the the slot. Other than that, its removing the batteries as mentioned in the video.

[@paulspear7624]

Awesome video - plenty of detail and problem solving skills. Often ,it's the little tecnicalities which help viewers - not necessarily the ultimate fix to the problem. Keep it up. Why, oh why, don't manufacturers standardise and make the units fit for universal repair!

[@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.

[@thomaslevy9985]

Excellent job 👍 nice explanation.. tks

[@atalkingstarfish4165]

[@unerkannterGeisteskranker]

If you leave everything connected you can start the laptop by pressing the poweron button until it start. It is the same failsafe as removing the cmos battery.

[@TeflonDonVlogs]

Thanks 🙏

[@syupdengixx]

i did all of this but nothing worked so what could be the reason it's not turning on? also you said that the problem of her laptop was the motherboard, what is likely to be the reason for a motherboard to be broken? thank you sir

[@inspiretrue807]

I'm facing the same problem.but if i disconnect the keyboard connection from motherboard laptop turns on and works fine but if i connect it again then it shuts down.does this mean my laptop's keyboard is broken?

Hello good sir. I'm having the same issues on the same model. After you removed that battery and drained the power, you plugged in the adapter while the battery was out. Did the charging light come on? I was unable to be sure in the video

[@Darrent88]

Hi, Great video.. got a Lenovo Yoga 710 and press power it doesn't post to Lenovo logo.. only thing that happens is the keyboard backlight blinks.. Any suggestions?

[@sarveshpoddar5360]

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

[@knowledgetv378]

What kind of charger did u use sir?

[@timothyburke7226]

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.

It's a little strange that you would need to do that at that particular time but it's not that unusual to need to remove the batteries for a time in order to get a laptop to turn back on.
