  • do you have anything plugged in to it (e.g. external mouse/monitor)? if so, remove it

  • have you tried reseating the RAM (if that is possible on the Lenovo P51s)?

  • 1. Can you enter BIOS? Press and hold F1 while powering on:pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/… 2. If so, try to boot from USB, e.g., with Win PE (as in Hiren's Boot CD) or Linux (as from Ubuntu Live), and check the internal drive of the laptop. It could be dead. Commented Feb 16 at 4:26
  • If you can enter into the BIOS/UEFI, try to do a Reset.

  • Thanks for all the comments. F1 did not do anything, it turned off too soon. What helped was letting it drain completely after taking out the removable battery. It started up, BSODd after 1/2h, and now won't start. I'm guessing motherboard issue, but I'll see if it's possible to re-seat the RAM just in case.
