Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro-16ACH6: Shut down while gaming, won't turn on or react to anything.

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 05:28:50 -0700

I was playing a gpu-heavy game on this laptop, and it turned off suddenly. I am not 100% it shut down due to throttling.

Now, it does not react at all when i press the on button, and no lights shine when I plug it into the charger.

I tried using a different charger and it did not work with that either.

I also tried removing the battery and turning it on using only the charger and that did not work either.

When I opened it up, the metal thermal cap over the memories was semi-loose (the thermal interface between the case and the memories). I reattached it and that didn't help either

I do have a multimeter, but I've not tried checking a laptop before. How do you suggest I tackle this?

EDIT: uploaded pictures of the mb, and of the metal shielding that was not attached. The memory modules are soldered so if possible I would like to try diagnostic steps that don't involve removing them yet.

Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 16: My pc starts, but my screen won't..

Thu, 19 Jun 2025 02:25:00 -0700

The fans start, the led keyboard lights up for up to 5-10 seconds before it gets dark again. But the screen has zero reaction. Haven't used the computer for a few weeks. Tried to start today, then everything started. Passed 20 seconds before the message came up "your device ran into a problem" and got dark again. Now it's the same as for a few weeks ago. Why is this?

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 04:39:05 -0700

It was not that irritating before but now it is out of control even connected usb are now smoking and heat is unbearable while working or playing. It starts from just below the screen and keeps radiating till spacebar after which heat is soo much that i have to turn it off fearing it might actually catch fire.

Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 16ARH7: ¿porque mi laptop se reinicia al iniciar un programa pesado?

Thu, 02 Oct 2025 10:20:35 -0700

Al momento de iniciar un programa que consume la memoria ram y tarjeta gráfica la laptop se reinicia por si solo y buscando respuestas en el visor de eventos aparece este error "Crítico Kernel-Power 41 (63) ". (la laptop se reinicia incluso con juegos como "halo infinity", "legue of legends")

Use la laptop con y sin cargador y se sigue reiniciando.

La laptop tiene 2 años de uso y aun no le cambio la pasta térmica.

Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 16: Laptop hinge too tight

Sat, 07 Oct 2023 04:09:18 -0700

I just got my laptop back from repair for nearly constant coil whine (changed mobo didn't fix that but not much else I can do there myself), and one of the hinges now keeps the lid of the laptop too close to the body, causing it to rub a bit when opening, can I somehow loosen it? There's a nut at the end here but not sure whether that'd help with it and how to even get to it properly
