Lenovo ideapad 100 wont turn on

[Mikkel_1]

My lenovo ideapad 100 wont turn on but it has led's indicating that it is on? I tried every advice online, holding the power button for 15 seconds, (i cant take out the battery without taking the entire laptop apart)... ive got an exam tommorow and i need this pc up and running, it worked last night but when i woke up to turn it on today it just didnt wanna turn on.

The only solution is taking it apart or repair it if you really need the data on it you can easely take the HDD or SSD out and put it an a computer.

You can better reach out to someone in person since the internet is limited with pictures and text laptops are far more diffecult to repair so invest the rest of the time trying to find someone because with the given information it could take a few weeks to figure this out.

If the power light is on, is by chance anything else showing as on? Other lights, internal sounds, etc. If yes, try option 1. If no other things show as on, try option 2 (and yes I saw what you said about the battery).

Option 1...

Try this...

1. Turn the laptop off (not sleep or hibernate but off).
2. Connect an external monitor to the laptop.
3. Turn on the external monitor.
4. Turn on the laptop.

NOTE: You may have to press an "external monitor" button. Could be the f4 button or a button with two monitors on it, for the external monitor to work.

If you can see fine on the external monitor, then your attached display, or the ribbon cable that connects it, are your problem.

If you can't see on the external monitor at all, or the problem occurs on the external monitor as well, then it is probably the graphics card/GPU that is the problem, which may require the motherboard be replaced.

Option 2...

NOTE: Yes, I know some batteries are not so easy to get to, on some devices. However, it should be removable/replaceable. Unless it is under warranty, then you should contact the manufacturer first.


Try the following and see if it will turn on...

1. Unplug your charger cord.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Press and hold the "Power" button for 30 seconds.
4. Now plug back in the power/charger cord.
5. Now put the battery back in.

If this doesn't help, then test the power cord to see if it is good. Either try your cord in another device, or try another devices cord in your laptop. You may also want to try charging it when the device is off, rather than on. If it works then, the cord is probably the issue.

Should that not be the problem, then check the battery to see if it needs replacing.
