| Feb 26 at 15:30 | comment | added | music2myear | This sort of issue is going to be exceptionally difficult to diagnose remotely, even by someone who has experience the precise set of symptoms previously, due to the nature of hardware issues. However, what is clear is that it is most likely to be a hardware issue, and the correct course for these is to make use of whatever warranty you have on the computer, if you have one, and if not, take the computer to a competent local pc hardware technician for diagnosis and service. | |

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. | |

| Feb 16 at 4:26 | comment | added | DrMoishe Pippik | 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. | |

| Feb 16 at 4:13 | comment | added | Gantendo | have you tried reseating the RAM (if that is possible on the Lenovo P51s)? | |
| Feb 16 at 4:03 | comment | added | Gantendo | do you have anything plugged in to it (e.g. external mouse/monitor)? if so, remove it | |
