To reset your Lenovo laptop that won’t turn on, there are a few methods you can try. Please note that these steps may vary slightly depending on the specific model of your Lenovo laptop. Here are some options to consider:
1. Reset Hole Method:
– Look for a small pinhole on the laptop’s casing. This is typically located near the power button or on the bottom of the laptop.
– Straighten a paper clip or a similar small object and carefully insert it into the reset hole until you feel some resistance.
– Press and hold the paper clip in the hole for about 10-15 seconds, then release it.
– After performing this reset, try turning on the laptop again to see if it powers up.
2. Novo Button Method:
– Some Lenovo Ideapads have a dedicated Novo button, which can be used to access the BIOS or recovery mode.
– Look for a small button with an arrow or a “N” symbol on it. It is usually located near the power button or on the side of the laptop.
– Ensure that the laptop is turned off. Press and hold the Novo button for a few seconds.
– This should bring up a menu on the screen with different options. Use the arrow keys to navigate and select the “System Recovery” or “Reset” option.
– Follow the on-screen instructions to reset your laptop.
3. Power Button Method:
– If your Lenovo laptop doesn’t have a reset hole or a Novo button, you can try a forced shutdown by pressing and holding the power button.
– Disconnect the laptop from the power adapter, if it’s connected, and remove the battery, if it’s removable.
– Press and hold the power button for at least 10-15 seconds. This should drain any residual power from the laptop.
– Reconnect the power adapter and try turning on the laptop again.
If none of these methods work, it’s possible that there may be a more serious issue with your laptop’s hardware. In such cases, it is recommended to contact Lenovo support or take your laptop to a professional technician for further assistance.
Please note that performing a reset may erase any unsaved data, so it’s important to back up your files regularly to avoid losing important information.
