[@rolandspeith306]

Worked perfectly for my Lenovo T440s! Thank you! The strange thing was that I had worked with the laptop only one hour ago. When pressing the power button, the laptop beeped continuously. So, I had to do a hard power-off. Afterwards, the laptop reacted neither when plugging in the cable nor when pressing the power button. You trick saved my evening!

[@cbsuresh5631]

Instead of going to the service centre ,I followed your instructions and Thanks to you my laptop is back working.Thank you so much.

[@jasonflt]

Updated your BIOS to keep it from happening again

[@wishvaweerasekara170]

Thank you for this video. I'm an undergraduate and also self taught programmer then today morning I realised suddenly my laptop was not working. I tried tried tried and then at about 9.00 p.m I found this awasome video. Your video saved me. Thank you very much and you got another subscriber. Stay blessed

[@jasonflt]

thanks! up date your bios use the lenovo update system software.

[@pferdundhundj7989]

You help my mom so much she cried. T450 got drink died...tried and worked! Thanks much! Casm.

[@paulbrown941]

Hey Jay, this was a life saver for me! I bought thinkpad t430 for some SEO work and I have left it in a cupboard for a few months. I tried to power it on yesterday and not dice. The fingerprint reader scanning my prints, but kept saying they were incorrect. This was because it was not able to check with the hard disk as it was not running. On the t430 the memory slot also gives access to the BIOS battery and socket. Pulling that socket for a 20 seconds and reconnecting got me up and running again. Thanks so much!

[@johneckle1]

You are a genius! I've been in Zambia without my laptop, with so much to get done before my return to California. Your video helped me restart my unresponsive T450 when all other advice failed. Thank you so much! Now I can try to catch up with things on the 30 hr trip back home. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@codpaul4545]

I fixed my t440s that had died for powering on. And now it's working well. Thank you so much!!

[@blueobject]

You saved my life with my t450. I was nervous taking the back off but it worked and saved me at last a day of having to bring it into the office to get help.

[@jasonflt]

Thank you. Like everyone else I tell if you got warranty use it .

[@TheFranklinFour]

Thank you Jay! You are so much more helpful than the help desk at the well-known household-name computer company I work for!

[@jasonflt]

TheFranklinFour thank you very much. Just updated your BIOS

[@kingmonkey88]

Worked for me on a X240. You're a lifer saver! Thanks a bunch.

[@ishotweb]

Thank you so much. This worked perfectly with my T440s. Saved me from having to buy a new laptop.

[@mattfortson6317]

Awesome! Just fixed my laptop after a day of non-use and it had this issue! Thanks Jay!

[@jasonflt]

your welcome

[@copernicait5251]

Thank you so much! Although in my case, it was only a day it wasn't turned on and the LED light didn't work even when plugged. I followed your instructions and now my laptop's working again. #yourock 👍

[@abdifatah86]

OMG thank you, this guy saved my money and the repair shop guy told me to pay $320 for motherboard replacement, this is so simply , thank your best youtube helper ever

[@jasonflt]

update the bios

[@sgrantham]

Thank you, JayRock - worked perfectly on my non-starting X250. Exactly as you described with the slight exception of the CMOS battery - I don't think it has one or I just couldn't locate it. VERY much appreciate your instructional vid - nice work!!

[@jasonflt]

Update your BIOS

[@vindicatr498]

Bro TYSM I really thought my laptop would never work again but you proved me wrong. You are underrated.

[@stephennkawu476]

You do not know how much of my life you have just saved. Thank you

[@gail8198]

I was about to ship my laptop off to IT, but watched this video and tried these tricks and it worked! Thank you so much!!!!

[@jasonflt]

Gail update your bios

[@ahmadsharifi85]

Thank you very much for this, i tried and it starts now. 100THUMBS UP!!!

[@ssprofession]

Thank you for enlightening me on the backup battery pack in the t450. A coworker just came to me having a panic attack due to a no boot and this resolved. Thank you for this!

[@ssprofession]

FYI you just cost Lenovo!! I won't tell ;)

[@jasonflt]

Will Poe update the bios, will fix the issue from happening again

[@jasonflt]

Will Poe thank you

[@ssprofession]

You're the man!!!!

[@keithskillz90210]

This worked PERFECTLY with my x250, which I bought cheap because it was labeled "liquid damage." Nope...no damage at all. Thanks bro

[@jasonflt]

Just update the BIOS

[@alexlyubarev1828]

Unbelievable ! Just now I fixed my T440 ! Thank You so much !

[@jeanguysylvestre]

Thanks jason! You saved me a lot of grief and money. Sent you a small donation as a sign of my appreciation. Cheers.

[@jasonflt]

Jean-Guy Sylvestre is very dearly appreciated thank you very much. Please just don't forget to update your bios

[@timo113]

Thank you this fixed it for me. Unplugging CMOS did the trick x250

[@JiMiGj1234]

today i tried your methord on my t450s and it worked, many thanks for your time to share this video

[@jasonflt]

Just updated your BIOS

[@JiMiGj1234]

yeh i will do that many thanks

[@TeenagePianoLearner]

You deserve more subscribers. Thank you so much, it helped and you got a new subscriber 👍

[@jasonflt]

Thanks 🙏

[@wutdafuuh]

Thanks a lot. This worked for me. Was going to send it in for warranty repair, but this saved me a lot of downtime, as repair shop was closed until Monday. Won't miss any work.

[@jasonflt]

wutdafuuh not a problem but if it does happen again I would suggest getting the motherboard replaced. Should only take 1 hour max if he or she knows what they are doing. So your down time should be minimal

[@wutdafuuh]

That would be unfortunate, as I just got this laptop Jan of this year.

[@jasonflt]

I have fixed so many of that model it's sad

[@jasonflt]

there is a bios update for T450 and T450s, check out my other video. i have a link to the iso etc. the update will fix the battery issue

[@TheBladeEngineer]

Was also successful for my X250. Thank you!

[@samkok21979]

thank's a lot .. my laptop has been not powering.. becouse of your video my thinkpad t440s, back to life.. thanks..

[@jasonflt]

just make sure you update your bios

[@arispapasavvas7622]

I used your solution 4 times since I have my T450s. Thank you very much!

[@jasonflt]

Your welcome,you need to update the BIOS on the laptop or tops to resolve the issue completely

[@RobertBuan]

YES! This did it for my T450!!! The 10x power thing did nothing. Thank you!!

[@jasonflt]

Your welcome but if it does happen again I would suggest a motherboard replacement. Lenovo is pretty good and just replacing it and a pro would take 45 mins max. I have replaced so many of them.

[@rajrajan]

Sir, you are great!! Thank you so much, it worked for me too. I was worried my office laptop didn't turned on all of a sudden and your solution simplified it. Please post more home remedy videos.

[@jasonflt]

Raj Rajan thank you, update your BIOS will solve the issue all together

[@SS-lr7gc]

Hey man. Thanks a lot for the solution. Worked like a charm and also thanks for telling the little useful detail that the screws don't come out completely. Kudos for your help

[@jasonflt]

Do a BIOS update

[@juliocsar1]

Se que todo está en inglés, pero hoy Miércoles 18 de Agosto puedo decir que desde Chile, este tutorial ha funcionado perfectamente. Saludos! Modificación: Me faltó mencionar que el equipo que se inició con este tutorial es un T450

[@razakabdul7879]

amazing just in 5 minutes, my daughter laptop work again as usual. thanks so much

[@mayanks4634]

Hey Jay, Thanks for this video. It fixed my problem. In my case battery got drained out probably in night time and it did not come up in morning. I tried Lenovo helpdesk, and we went with few usual steps like 1)removing battery and then Keeping the power button pressed for 30s to drain out battery and then trying to boot up. It did not work. 2) Then we repeated above step and as well did the reset. It failed too. It was concluded that motherboard needs to be replaced. Just as last resort I tried your step on my own and viola... it worked. So thanks for this wonderful video. :)

[@jasonflt]

Thank you for your awesome feed back. Like everyone that post on here if you have warranty left on your laptop please use it.

[@part4569]

thank you! awesome and easy to understand! did it many times before without luck but i followed your instructions and it worked! ;) back on pc juhu

[@TheRivardmathieu]

Thanks my friend !!! Helped so much !!!

[@abdou5554]

Thanks for the sharing ... I had the same problem with the T450s and I think that the problem is from the inner battery, so when you disconnect...That must work when you restart.

[@getz19]

Dude, you saved my T450S!!! Thank you!!

[@jasonflt]

Glad I could help!

[@rameshchinna86]

Thank you so much. Using your instructions my my laptop problem was solved. Thanks again...

[@robertjensen1048]

WOW. Just went through this. Took me over an hour(I'm very methodical....) It worked!! I was blown away. The power cam right back on. A tip: You talk a little too fast, and your edits are kind of rough. You actually do some edits in the middle of your sentence. Rewatch your video, it's hard to tell what you are talking about when you are inside the laptop. I had to rewatch several times.

[@jasonflt]

I didn't script the video at all,I just rolled with it

[@jasonflt]

I am working on doing editing a lot better but since I haven't done a lot of videos I will be getting better as time goes on but thank you anyways

[@MarcelKooiman83]

Great job! No new motherboard needed!
