Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E330: Computer won't turn on but is connected?

Sat, 24 Jun 2023 02:05:11 -0700

One day my laptop turned off, since I don't use it too often I thought it was cause it's dead so I plugged it in and went to work when I come back it's still dead I checked the charger and nothing was wrong the charger didn't seem to be broken I left it resting for a few days. Mind you this happened to me once before. But after a few days it still didn't turn on now I'm worried because it's been 2 weeks and nothing I'll leave it charging a whole day try and nothing

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E330: Green and purple screen when lifting the laptop?

Fri, 28 Apr 2017 08:34:10 -0700

One year old Lenovo thinkpad edge E330 that has been used to program in .net and browsing. had first time problem with this laptop Wednesday 4th of march 2015, when I tilted the laptop which i had in my knee the screen turned green/ purple and was all pixalated into blurring colors. Could not see the screen except the blurred green-purple fizz and could not shut down laptop with the start button by pressing it. Pulled the battery out and restarted it on a flat surface. re installed the OS same day.

Laptop seem to be working fine for another day and then just now I took the laptop on my knee again (lifting while on) and the screen turns green-purple and pixalated again.

Pulled battery out to restart and once on again I actually saw my old start background picture which I had before re installing the OS yesterday!

Because I saw the old picture before the computer changed back to my new background picture it made think that it must be a hardware fault.

It works well when placed on a flat surface like a table, but not when tilted which is a sign of something like a cable that is slipping then and then.

What do you think?

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E330: Does this have an M.2 SSD expansion slot?

I’m considering adding an SSD as a new boot drive to make it faster and want to know if it has an extra slot, particularly for an m.2 drive.

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E330: shut it down one day, and then I couldn’t turn it back on

Thu, 29 Oct 2020 15:16:43 -0700

So, I’ve had pretty much the same problem. My laptop was working perfectly fine, I shut it down one day, and then i couldn’t turn it back on. Here is what has worked for me. I’ve tried keeping it charging for multiple days and that doesn’t help at all, but if i leave it without charging and come back to it like a week later, it turns on perfectly fine like nothing has happened. What has worked every time is opening up the back of the laptop and removing the cable that connects the battery to the motherboard. I disconnect it, reconnect it, and everything works fine again. I don’t know what the actual cause for the problem is, but it seems the only way to reset it is to completely drain the battery down to 0% or disconnect the battery. Holding down the power button for 15 seconds doesn’t always work, but has a few times. At this point, I’m just going to buy a new battery for it and hopefully this will fix it altogether.
