you said you unplugged the battery, correct?

#

or have you just unplugged the charging port?

icy gazelle
#

Both, actually

#

I'm lucky to have a friend with the same charger as I do. My charger works on his laptop, but not on mine. And his charger work on his laptop, but not on mine.

errant pelican
#

so like you opened it up, unplugged the battery and still same symptom ?

icy gazelle
#

Yeah

#

I also tried resetting the ram like, a minute ago, but still no luck. Problem has no correlation with the ram but I figured I'd try.

native gulch
#

or do you see nothing

icy gazelle
#

Nothing

native gulch
#

when plugged in

icy gazelle
#

Nothing. Neither behind or on the side (where it would usually blink to tell me that there's no bettery left)

errant pelican
#

oh no

icy gazelle
#

Also when the power light turns on for half a second, the led on the side doesn't turn on. The one behind doesn't either.

#

Is it dead, doc?

native gulch
#

i think its the battery

icy gazelle
#

I literally just finished paying for it. XD

native gulch
#

thats ded

Well, it wouldn't make sense like, the problem happened after plugging an HDMI cable

Yeah I guess send it off to lenovo

icy gazelle
#

Yeah, true. :/
My friend has a Lenovo legion, but with a GTX 1650TI, thing I could try and swap the battery to see if it'll work?

#

Yeah but, will they still do the replacement even though I swapped the ram? I did a ram upgrade when I got it

#

8gb to 16

errant pelican
#

Just slot it back in and send it off to be sure

icy gazelle
#

Yeah I have the original

errant pelican
#

Though I think they would still work on it either way

icy gazelle
#

Alright, but can I try out my friend's battery first?

#

Not a Legion btw but Lenovo IdeaPad with a 1650ti

errant pelican
icy gazelle
#

Aye aye, I'll try that

#

Fingers crossed. Either way I might send it to Lenowo

errant pelican
#

at least it breaks under warranty

icy gazelle
#

Yeah, but still sucks that it only broke after 5 months I mean...

#

What's gonna happen once I'll be out of warranty? :/

errant pelican
#

I mean we have guys here pushing almost 200W through the vrm and it still survive

#

so it's probably a one-off kind of thing

icy gazelle
#

I mean looking at it on Google, many people seem to make the same problem as I do, or at least something similar. It just makes me worried. The laptop is amazing but I really want it to keep it running without buying a new Mobo 5 days after the end of my warranty, but that's another subject.

errant pelican
icy gazelle
#

Okay, tried my friend's battery, nothing. It won't start either. Mobo is dead. Will call Lenovo on Monday and try and return it asap.

#

Will I have my data still? I have a lot of things.

just to be sure

#

Final message before I lock this (if I can)

Tried my battery on my friend's laptop, it works fine and boots up, but his battery in my laptop doesn't do anything. Definitely a motherboard problem.

#

Thank you for the help, with you all the best

errant pelican
#

Good luck lagoon bro

#

why was the og message deleted lol

icy gazelle
#

After remounting the laptop, now the light stays on, fan spins after it gets hot enough

#

Little more hope.

inner shard
#

haha, it's better to add [closed] to the title

icy gazelle
#

Welp.

#

Do you think I should reopen something since the situation changed a bit or should I just give up and go to a shop, buy a new laptop?

#

Cause it's a bit urgent and I can't really have down time with that x

errant pelican
icy gazelle
#

Nevermind, back to square one.
