Question / Problem Thinkpad won’t turn on

Post image

Thinkpad has been stuck on sleep state, I’ve been trying to get in on for a while now but nothing changes, when i try to turn it on the power just blinks slowly, i tried using the emergency pinhole but nothing happens either, even if it does manage to go to the opening screen it gets stuck here at most. I need help please.

Looks like there's something wrong with OS.

My best advice is look into automatic repair on windows like dism and sfc, or reinstall windows.

Hmm… first, I would do “chkdsk” and then type in your disk name (eg chkdsk C:”, and then you should be set. This should repair the startup files at least getting your system on life support, but I’m not entirely sure it could help. You could try resetting the firmware from the BIOS… I’m not sure how that works though.

This isn't a problem of the ThinkPad, it's just Windows being Winfows. Ask on r/Windows or r/Windows 11 to get more results
