Model: legion 5 4600h GTX 1650

Describe the issue: so from last night my laptop has stopped turning on properly, the LED lights up then turns off and on in a slow manner but never properly turns on. Also this whole week, my laptops clock started showing the wrong time everytime I booted it up and I had to sync it everytime. I've heard it might be related to the CMOS battery or something but can that also produce the not turning on issue ?

What have you tried already?: unplugged the laptop, held the power button for a minute to completely drain it, reconnected the charger but the issue still persists. I'm yet to open up the laptop for this

When did it start producing the issue: the clock issue started a week ago and last night when I shit down it, it didn't turn on after that

Did you install new drivers or software?: I installed handbrake recently to change a videos format but i doubt if that's the problem. Windows 10 was fully updated and the nvidia drivers too

Can you provide images/videos to show us the issue: below is the video I made of it. The fans and keyboard also doesn't power on

It's a 2022 manufactured laptop man it's only 3.5 yr old

That doesn't mean every single model of this variant was made in a single year man. It's components also have the 2022 manufacturing dates

#

Btw it was operating smoothly and I don't play heavy games on it anymore

You don’t have to, it’s just aging and it’s normal

no, its not normal for a laptop to die after three years of use.

I had Ultimate Support that time, and they swapped the Motherboard of mine...

ok :) not sure why you're so desperate to tell a user to throw their laptop in the garbage when they asked how to fix it.

to OP: might be a BIOS issue. definitely get that CMOS battery replaced.
