So I just got back home, turned on my laptop, only to be greeted by this horrific screen.
Not sure what happened as it was working just fine mere hours ago. It wasn't dropped or anything. I pressed a key on the keyboard (the number 2, because it asked for PIN) and it rebooted instantly. It then got stuck on the "lenovo logo" with the spinning cursor, the cursor didn't move when strange green lines appear across the screen. Whenever I pressed any key, the lines position changed, then it turned off.
Pressing the power button yields no result.
I thought the LCD might somehow be broken, so I connected the laptop to my PC's monitor through HDMI, no signal. The monitor doesn't even detect anything is connected.
Here's the current situation. When I press the power button, the laptop does turn on, the fans spin audibly, the little LED that indicates the laptop is in operation lights up. Only the screen is completely black. Not just blank screen, but not even the backlight is on. Pressing the caps lock does nothing (there's a little LED on the caps lock key that lights up depending on whether caps lock is on, the LED works even before the laptop boots to Windows,not this time). There's also a little LED indicator next to the webcam that usually lights up momentarily when the laptop is booting, but this time there's nothing. Connecting the laptop to AC power works (I guess), evident from the little charging indicator lighting up.
Should I let it sit overnight and see what happens? I can't disconnect the battery as it's sealed in.
Anything else I should try?
The model is a Lenovo Idea pad Slim 3, the one with Ryzen 3.
EDIT : Tried turning it on again because I couldn't help it. It managed to show the lenovo logo for like 4 seconds before the display turns black (no back light). This means the LCD is at least okay. Still same symptoms as above...
