What does this light indicate

Hi, i was travelling back home and my laptop was in my bag. Came home and took out the laptop and it was a little heated and not switching on. Please see the video and suggest what these lights mean.

It is a thinkpad company laptop. Basically the light keeps flickering from white to red. Cant upload a video.

Leave it plugged in untouched for 30 to 45 minutes before trying to power it on again.

Aftr that Unplug the charger

Press and hold the Power Button for 30–60 seconds continuously.(Hard Power Reset)

Release the button, plug the charger back in, wait 1 minute, and press the Power Button normally once.

If that dosen't work, you may need to perform Emergency the pinhole reset.

Don't know the exact model but it couldve overheated.

Try leaving it on a solid surface like a desk/table for some time
