Model: Legion Slim 5 16APH8
Describe the issue: Laptop screen does not turn on. Keys light up and the computer sounds like it is running but the screen stays black.
What have you tried already?: Plugging the laptop into an external monitor. Swapping my RAM to the other RAM slot. Holding the power button for 60 seconds to drain power. Unplugging the battery and plugging it back in. Novo Button.
When did it start producing the issue: I noticed this issue today. The last time I used the laptop was a few days ago and it was working fine.
Did you install new drivers or software?: I might have installed a windows update but I can't remember.

Are you in dGPU mode or hybrid mode?
I can't remember
I messed with the setting but I can't remember what I left it in
Alright well you’ve basically done all the troubleshooting steps already. You need to contact Lenovo for warranty or go to a repair shop.
I will try, but I am traveling and I don't think there are any near me

Ya the thing is I don’t think it’s correct. Slim 7s have a different bios, unless you’ve tried the Gen 8 one in the guide and it works?
Let me give it a shot. The problem is that I don't think that the computer boots
Thereif I do get it on which GPU mode do I want it in?
Well since you don’t know which one you’re in, you’ll need to try both ways in the guide
Yeah they didn't work
Ok so yeah can’t really know if it’s the laptops fault or the guide isn’t right for your machine, nevertheless, you’ll need in person support from somewhere
fwiw i verified the g8 steps on my laptop a while ago
Ya that’s what I was wondering. Thanks.
How do I go about finding in person support?
