Describe the issue: Lenovo Legion 7 Slim AMD 16 inch Black Screen

Hello I hope you are all doing well.   
I have had the laptop for a year now and I have a black screen of death.

I can hear the fans going and I can get the backlight on the keyboard to turn on with FN and Spacebar.  


I have tried hdmi to external monitor and that didnt work.

I have tried holding down the power button for 60 second. When I hold it maybe 20 seconds in the light ring around the power button will turn off for a second then turn back on. It does this every 20 second when I hold the button.  


When I plug in the power the plug logo lights up in the white grey color.  


I have tried repeatedly pressing and holding  F1 and F2 on boot.  


Any other ideas and thank you for the help. On a side note this appears to happen a lot to Lenovo computers based on my searching for a solution if this is the case this is horrible hardware. When I pressed the reset hole underneath with a paper the power plug symbol temporarily turned red/ orange for about 5 min then it went back to white. 


Can you provide images/videos to show us the issue: ``

It’s usually on the left somewhere. Sometimes under the battery. Sometimes under the second nvme drive, though I think your machine only has one nvme slot. It’s a coin battery with a s black and red wire to a white connector.

You don’t have to actually remove the battery. Just unplug the connector in there.

You removed the battery?

#

Yeah the black and red wires lead to underneath

#

Do I just lift this up?

#

Just unplug the connector

#

Just like the battery

#

Why did you take the whole main battery out to begin with?

Have you installed another stick of ram? You could try to remove that too and try booting with just the soldered ram
