Hi Guys, i recently received a laptop from a friend of mine which he didn’t think would still work, it didnt boot at first, but after a while it got into windows, as if today, i press the power button, i hear a short fan spin, and the power button flashes 3 times, this is a Lenovo thinkpad X240

Any troubleshooting i can try?

Thx in Advance

I’ll do some more trouble shooting tomorrow, it’s 2 am for me and this dingus decided to have a look inside of that laptop

#

I mean he did buy it second hand after all but it worked for a while

With some alcohol?

He did not mention it

#

Is the CPU removable?

#

Is the CPU detachable?
