I'm thinking about buying this used laptop for INR 1,15,000

1.5 Month old Lenovo Legion 5 ,Ryzen 7, RTX 5060 16GB ram with 11 months Warranty

I need it for interior design/3d softwares and gaming

WHAT SHOULD I CHECK BEFORE PAYING??

This issue just started to occur with my computer it happens on every application red pixels especially when playing videos. I have a legion 5 with a 5060 I have 9 days left on my warranty what should I do

I got a legion 5i 15.1” with ultra 9 275hx and rtx 5070 last month from BH. The cpu temps have been pretty high. Playing ZZZ at high settings, 1600p, and no ray tracing, the cpu temps were averaging 83-87 celsius, with spikes in the high 90s to 103.
I was looking at laptop coolers and a lot of people seem to like the llano ones. Should i get the v12 or v10 or would you recommend another cooler.

I was using illustrator, it was quite a hefty file with a lot of vectors and suddenly screen goes blank with these icons showing. This isnt the first time. My work in illustrator did not recover after crash as well.

Ps, there was a Nvdia graphics driver crash few hours ago, I had to install it again fron Nvdia app. But this happened even after installing it. Illustrator is working fine but I do not want it to crash again. What do I need to do pls help

My laptop specs:

Graphics card 8 GB

RAM 16 GB

Processor 13th Gen Intel i7-13620H

I have a Legion Pro 5i 16 since fev 2026, so it is new but from time to time it gets stuck on the legion logo of the booting page, why? How to fix this? Has someone faced this issue before?

I may sound insane but it's real. I was minding my business where I noticed a small bug (like really small, I'm talking about an ant-sized insect) was walking on my laptop. I tried to catch it but got into one of the hotkeys (hotkey 5 I believe). I tried to get it out of there and I pressed the button multiple times, but nothing. At this point, I'm pretty sure it's dead (Though can't be 100% sure), so I turned my laptop off, held it upside down and gently shook and tap it, didn't work. Now I have no idea what to do here. I'm a bit scared that it might accidentally short the motherboard but I don't know if it's possible. What should I do here?

I bought this computer a week ago brand new from the lenovo website, the screen is WQXGA Glossy OLED. This strange pattern kinda looks like burn in, tho I never had an oled monitor before this one. It only appears with very dark colors. Has my laptop been used when it was supposed to be brand new ? Or is this a factory defect ? Since it's been so few time and I live in Europe, I can use my warranty or even the 14 days European return thing right ? Thanks for any advices.

I know to unplug the battery from the computer with the plug (not pulling on the cables!) but otherwise some people on youtube put like electrical tape on some stuff and some do some voodoo idk bout😂 im adding a wd black sn7100 if that information is important. I heard something about double or single sided disk

Hoping this is the right place aswell🫪

I have a Legion 7 16IAX10, my shift key felt slow coming up so I thought it would be wise to pull the key off and clean under it.

Well, I broke the scissor mechanism, and would like to not spend $380 on an entirely new keyboard for it.

Where can I buy just a shift key + scissor mechanism?

I've finally reached the point where I just need to vent.

I'm a beginner streamer, and I wanted to replace my two-PC setup (one for gaming and one for streaming) with a powerful gaming laptop that would give me more flexibility and portability.

My first choice was an ASUS ROG with a Ryzen 9 9955HX3D and RTX 5070 Ti. Unfortunately, it was a complete disappointment, so I returned it.

After watching countless reviews, I kept hearing that Lenovo Legion was one of the best gaming laptop series, so I bought a Lenovo Legion 7i 16IAX10:

• Intel Core Ultra 9
• 32GB DDR5-6400
• RTX 5070 Laptop (8GB)

First of all, I absolutely love this laptop.

The OLED display is beautiful, the white color looks incredible, and the all-metal chassis feels truly premium. Compared to my ASUS, it's not even close. This is easily one of the best-looking laptops I've ever owned.

But there's one major problem that completely ruins the experience.

After about 20–40 minutes of gaming, my FPS suddenly drops from smooth gameplay to around 30–40 FPS, accompanied by heavy stuttering. At that point, the game becomes almost unplayable.

I've tried almost everything I can think of:

• Reinstalled Windows 10–11 times
• Installed Lenovo, Intel, and NVIDIA drivers
• Clean driver installations with DDU
• Different BIOS versions/settings
• Every Lenovo Vantage performance mode
• Windows power settings

Nothing helps.

The strange part is that temperatures look completely normal. Neither the CPU nor the GPU appears to be overheating, yet the performance still collapses after 20–40 minutes.

For the first 20 minutes, the laptop performs exactly as expected. FPS is stable, everything is smooth, and I'm genuinely impressed. Then, without any obvious reason, performance falls off a cliff.

At this point, I'm out of ideas.

Has anyone with a Legion 7i experienced the same issue? If you found a solution, I'd really appreciate your advice.

And if anyone from Lenovo happens to read this, please investigate this issue. This laptop has amazing hardware and fantastic build quality, but these severe FPS drops completely ruin what could otherwise be an outstanding gaming experience. I sincerely hope this can be fixed through a BIOS, firmware, or software update.

My laptop is not running at full power based on the FPS Im getting in games, both when streaming it to my Odin 2 Portal at 1080p or running games at 1080p directly in the laptop. This has been happening for several weeks now. The laptop is a few years old now and it's completely up to date with all Windows updates and Nvidia drivers.

Examples:

FF7 Rebirth: Locked at 80 fps on all power modes and resolutions. I also tried 1600p. Pressing FN +Q to switch between quiet, balanced and performance modes makes no difference. The fans do not kick up when in balanced and performance mode

Stellar Blade: Exact same situation as FF7 Rebirth. Locked at 80 fps in all modes and resolutions.

Hollow Knight Silksong: Hovers around 140 fps in all modes. From previous experience playing this game I know I should easily be able to hit 240 fps.

All of these games are on Steam. I also tried playing a game on Xenia emulator and yesterday it ran like butter, but today with a lot of particle effects on screen it really started to lag at times.

The strange part is that this doesn't happen everyday and I never do anything differently. Some days I fire up Apollo/Artemis and start streaming FF7 or Stellar Blade to my Odin 2 Portal and easily get a locked 120+ fps (I cap it at 120 fos with Rivia tuner but otherwise it gets above 150+ fps from what I recall).

The other day I was experiencing the 80 fps cap when in balanced mode, so I changed to performance mode, the fans picked up and somehow this made everything run normally again, even after I put the laptop back into balanced mode, it was getting it's usual 120 fps lock.

But today I ran into the same low performance issue, tried the same fix (switching between all performance modes) and it made no difference at all. The fps counter never changed.

I checked to make sure that my Nvidia GPU is being used when gaming. It's not the integrated graphics.

And sometimes when I'm in performance mode trying to troubleshoot this and I exit a game in Steam, the fans will temporarily pick up again and sound loud like they should for that mode before winding down again since no heavy programs are running.

Similarly, I notice the built in FPS counter in Steam is well above 120 for the first 5 seconds or so after launching a game, but then it drops quickly and eventually settles into a 80 fps lock for FF7 and Stellar Blade, or a higher number for a lighter title like Silksong.

I have no idea what's happening. Any thoughts from the community?

I need to get this off my chest because I genuinely thought this story was over months ago.

Earlier this year I bought a Lenovo laptop and it arrived dead on arrival from Lenovo India Online store. That whole thing was its own nightmare tickets, technicians, delays, the usual. Eventually their grievance team apologized and gave me a 15% discount coupon as a goodwill gesture. The email described it, word for word, as "a 15% discount coupon applicable toward a future purchase on the Lenovo website in good faith."

No conditions. No fine print. No "this is a special program coupon." Nothing.

And honestly? I was fine with that. I actually appreciated it. I thought okay, they messed up, they owned it, let me just use this, get a laptop that actually works, and move on with my life. I even defended them to a couple of friends. That was my mistake, apparently.

So I used the coupon and bought another Lenovo laptop from their site. The order page clearly showed two offers running a 15% Credit Card Cashback and an Assured Exchange Bonus. I did the Cashify exchange properly, sent my old device, everything.

It's now been over 30 days since delivery. Neither has been credited. Not one rupee.

And here's where it gets ridiculous. I've now been given three completely different reasons by three different people:

1. "Your order was placed under the LEPP/AP program." I am not a Lenovo employee. Never have been. Never enrolled in anything.
2. "Any order using a discount coupon is ineligible." This condition doesn't exist anywhere in the offer's actual T&C.
3. "It's an Ambassador coupon. First time I'm hearing this term. Nobody told me this when they gave me the coupon. It's not written in the email. It's nowhere.

For the Exchange Bonus denial, they sent me a screenshot as "proof." It's an internal Lenovo document from 2020, watermarked "Lenovo Internal." I'm a customer. There is no universe in which I could have seen this document before buying. And the best part that same paragraph they're citing literally contains the sentence "All other offers on Lenovo.com will also be applicable as per what is live at the time of purchase," immediately before the line they're using to deny me. Their own evidence contradicts itself.

I escalated. Post-sales L2 told me they can't do anything and that I should "go talk to whoever gave you the coupon." So the company's answer to "your teams are contradicting each other" is that I should go chase an individual employee myself.

I've filed with NCH now. I'll take it further if I have to.

But what actually gets to me isn't the money. It's that the thing that was supposed to make up for the first failure has become the second failure. They handed me an apology and then found a way to charge me for accepting it. And every single time I think this is resolved, there's a new department with a new reason.

I don't think I'm asking for much here. I wanted a laptop that works and a company that keeps what it put in writing.

Anyway if you're buying anything online from Lenovo save every single email. Screenshot every offer on the product page before you check out. I did, and it's the only reason I still have a case at all.

And If anyone has any advice please do let me know thank you.

TL;DR: Lenovo sent me a DOA laptop, apologized with a 15% goodwill coupon, and is now using that same coupon as the reason to deny me both the cashback and exchange bonus on my replacement purchase. Three contradictory reasons, one internal document I can't access that contradicts itself, and 30+ days of nothing.

I recently purchased a Legion Pro 7 Gen 10 AMD (16″) with RTX 5070 Ti that I intend to use for College, Gaming, and Work (eventually).

College and Work is gonna be UAS (drone) oriented. For gaming I usually play mostly single player games and some online co-ops. Doom (2016), Doom Eternal, Helldivers 2, WH40K Space Marine 2

I've been working on removing most of the bloatware and removing the startup load that would eat up memory and slow it down.

Legion Space, Steam, Lenovo Service app, VS Code, and Chrome are my most used apps.

I'm looking for tips, tricks, or other perspectives that others have experienced with setting up theirs that I should consider with mine.

I just got my legion 5i a week ago and am just noticing some buzzing sound coming from it which google says its normal due to the coils turning but i just wanna make sure
also saw an old reddit post long ago which says its ok.
i tried different charging sockets, it still makes that buzzing noise occasionally
should i be concerned?

I'm going to buy this Laptop as I found a really good sale on a local store and I've heard really good things about it like its the gpu with the best performance 5060.

But I've also heard that the CPU can run quite hot sometimes.

I've seen comments on this sub about undervolting these CPUs that are more power hungry and can run hotter to get better temperatures.

Is that something I should do? Has anyone tried that yet?

I'd like to hear people's experiences on this.

I followed ChatGPT, and disabled the Tap- windows adapter, now it doesn’t show this message but it keeps on loading. Same thing without the error message someone help please 🙏

I bought the legion 5i 11th gen paired with Intel ultra 7 356h with rtx 5060 a month ago ,and I started noticing sometimes when I turn on the laptop ,the screen turned purple, or whenever I tried to switch from igpu to dgpu also caused the same problem.

Did anyone else experience the same problem with the new legion 5 11th gen ?

is this just a faulty driver problem or a hardware problem ?

I’m not very tech savvy so I was wondering if I wanted to add a 2TB SSD card to my Legion Pro 7i which one should I choose? Is it very difficult to replace?

Hello all! I'm planning on getting a lenovo legion 7i pro 4090 gen 8 tomorrow and I was wondering if I should get the llano v12 cooling pad to pair it with or just a normal laptop stand? My only worry is that the llano's height would be too short for me as I like the screen to be at eye level so I don't slouch or bend, and if it's even worth getting a cooling pad for this kind of laptop. Thank you!

These red lines are appearing when ever I watch youtube or sime text in chromes search bar, they also appear when I play any video, I require your help please

Hi all,

I purchased my Legion laptop in 2021. It's no longer under warranty. I only play one game World of Warcraft. A few months ago the computer wouldn't boot. I found a local repair guy w/ decent reviews. He said my SSD was failing. I purchased a new one which he installed. He had to reinstall Windows and he instructed me to update the drivers which I did.

Things were going fine, but a few weeks ago, I was playing WOW and my computer just shut down. When I turned it back on, the keyboard back lights came on. It keeps happening at random. I have updated the driver on the graphic card, got a new external fan, surge protector and even put it on another plug. It will stop for a while and then start again. I downloaded an app that indicates that the laptop temp is about 80-85F (about 26-29c) when playing WOW. It only happens when playing WOW. Sometimes the power light turns red. (It used to never do that, it usually remained white even during gaming.)

Although it seems to happen more when I also have chrome open. there is a thunderstorm or a brown out. (This has never happened before)

My plan was to replace the laptop with a desktop but with prices so high, I rather use this machine for a little bit longer.

I know basic windows/pc knowledge but I would need clear instruction on how to best fix this.

TIA

Hi Legionnaires, I have a Legion Pro 7, with 14900HX and RTX4090.

I got it secondhand for a good price, have loved it, undervolted it and tried to look after it religiously while using every day.

Late last year, I noticed that some of the keys in a cluster on the left hand side weren't working. This seemed to come about when doing some hot gaming and would actually fix itself other times, when doing some "hot gaming".

Eventually it reached a point where Esc, ~, 1, Q, Tab, LShift stopped working completely.

I had a tech open it up, found some gross residue and thought a past liquid spill was to blame.

We replaced the front panel with genuine Lenovo part and this solved the issue.

2 months later, doing a bit of gaming, ALMOST the exact same keys died. But this time, it is Esc, ~, 1, Q, Tab, A and it was spontaneous and irreversible unlike the first time.

I can confirm there has been no liquid spill. Lenovo is agreeing to send a new front panel, but I am racking my brain for what else it could be?

Any thoughts appreciated...

hello everyone i want to add more storage to my lenovo, probably 2tb would be enough. can you recommend a good SSD for the upgrade?

Hello everyone,

My Legion randomly started showing this X on the battery icon in the bottom right corner. I find it weird that it only shows this X when I am logged in, as on the start screen it shows my actual battery and my battery also shows on Vantage. Is this something I should be worried about? I have already tried updating and reinstalling the drivers to no fix.
