Lenovo ThinkBook 15 G2 ITL: The laptop isnt starting but some lights are good

Sat, 04 Apr 2026 07:42:26 -0700

Hey,

I just bought this laptop used and its not starting, the carging led is on when plugged in and the battery one too, even the power button lights up, but no matter its not starting.

The only other thing it does is starting up the cooling fan at a, what sounds like, very high RPM when the powerbutton is held down longer then about 30 seconds and stops when i let go.

I unfortunatly can't contact the seller to ask him about it

HP EliteBook: Hp elitebook 830 g6 screen not lighting

Lenovo ThinkPad X260: Blank screen or not booting up problem check

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 04:45:57 -0700

My screen stays blank or initial start up so I don’t know if the screen itself, the connection cables or the device itself is faulty. I’ve changed the internal battery and BIOS chip for brand new replacement components and it didn’t make any difference.

The indicator back lights (on keyboard and lid) illuminate so I believe the power supply is okay.

Took the Thinkpad to a local repair cafe and the guy suspected the screen was faulty. He suggested taking the laptop home and plug the unit into the television via HDMI to HDMI cable. Done this and the television came up with no signal to the HMI port. So I’m at a lost now and wondering if the motherboard is faulty or is the screen faulty.

Just wondering if anyone else as had the same problem and can offer some advice on how to diagnose the problem?
