Some Lenovo laptops come with a battery reset pinhole. See if your laptop has such a pinhole. If yes, insert a pin into that hole to reset your battery.

3] Turn on your laptop without a battery

Remove the battery of your laptop and provide it with a continuous power supply through the charger. Now, turn on your laptop. If your laptop turns on this time. your battery is faulty. Replace your battery.

4] Try to increase the display brightness

It is also possible that your laptop is working fine but the problem is with the display. Screen dimming issues are one of the symptoms of a faulty display or a dying monitor. Use the dedicated keyboard keys to increase the brightness of your Lenovo laptop and see what happens.

5] Connect an external display (if available) or enter BIOS

You can also connect an external display to your laptop (if available). This will let you know if the issue is with your laptop’s screen. Alternatively, you can also enter BIOS. If the screen turns on in BIOS, your laptop screen is not faulty. Now, you can perform a Startup repair.

6] Reseat your RAM

The problem might be with your RAM. If your Lenovo laptop has a power light indicator, see if it is turned on. If your laptop won’t turn on, but the Power Light is on, your RAM might have been damaged. Reseat your RAM and see if it works. In case of more than one RAM stick, start your laptop with the individual RAM sticks to check which RAM stick is faulty.

7] Reset BIOS

Resetting BIOS can also help. Reset your BIOS to default. Because your laptop is not turning on, you have to open your laptop and then remove the CMOS battery to reset the BIOS. Put the CMOS battery back a few minutes after removing it.

7] Hardware fault

If, despite trying the above fixes, your laptop does not turn on, there might be a hardware fault. We suggest you take your laptop to a professional laptop repair technician. If your laptop is under warranty, contact Lenovo Support.
