Your help was much appreciated my friend. Unplugging the battery cable and then plug it in again did help me. Back in the past when the cellphone got stuck we used to do the same thing by simply taking the battery out. Unfortunately, everything is irremovable nowadays.
I can imagine this video was uploaded 3years ago but it just saved me a lotta cash today My laptop just wouldn't turn on for weeks now and I took it to an engineer who told me there's a problem with the motherboard. But just following these steps, I have fixed it Thank you so much for this tutorial God bless you 💖
This worked like a charm! Thank you for saving me a lot of money in repairs. It’s strange how manufacturers are making it hard to get to the battery like this
Your video was very helpful. I had the same exact issue but it wasn't a keyboard issue for me. After trying ur steps of dismantling, removing battery, etc (5-6 times) mine finally came on without shutting off anymore (every 5sec before). Many thanks and respect bro
Good thing you wrote it off. This usually required a motherboard plus keyboard replacement. The recessed reset hole beside the sd card slot can turn this Notebook on well.
My wife's Lenovo 320 took a crap and would not come on. I didn't have to remove the CMOS battery but removing the main battery seemed to do the trick! I noticed that the cooling fan was really dirty so I decided to clean it with some electronic spray cleaner on it and all the connection points. It's back together now and purring like a kitten! Thank you so much for making this video.
Thank you so much I have been in tears I worked really hard on my assignment and I’m a single mum with five children and I can’t afford another computer or to get it fixed and this is fixed it God bless you and the name of Jesus
Thank you! Very useful! My E550 was not turning on at all so I took it appart and it seems like the CMOS battery had to be uplugged/replugged for it to work again
Awesome! I was having this exact same problem and the only way we could get the computer to turn on was a pin in the reset button. It turns out the key board data cable was a bit loose and after following your instructions at about the 19-20 minute mark our issue has been fixed. Thanks!
OMG you are a lifesaver dude! I spilled water on my Lenovo Ideapad 3 and it wouldn't turn back on for me. I dreaded having to go spend more money to get it to a shop! Thanks to you $00.00 this mama had to spend
These integrated keyboards seem to be problematic. I have seen plenty with a fault that types specific characters on their own. Disconnecting the kb and using an external kb is not an option as the power button is also disabled. Workaround bormally is to apply thin sticky tape to all but the left 2 contacts on the ribbon cable. Left 2 with the cable pointed away from you. Carefully reinsert the ribbon cable and you have disabled the kb but for the power button.
@@EvilDevil9143 so idk if u have the 320 model but its one the side on ur laptop where the usb ports are next to the sd card slot is a tiny hole where u can press it with something small like a thoothpick or sum then u plug ur external keyboard since the keyboard donr work and press on the blue menu normal startup boot with enter and then it should work fine u can also look on youtube how to do the novo startup if my explanation wasnt good enough i hope this helped u a bit
Suspect bad battery. An important signal coming from battery to super io on motherboard is missing hence the bad behaviour. Also check pins out of keyboard connector with MMEter. Check input mosfets at ac adapter. Maybe shorting one of them would bypass the control signalling and get things behaving normal. Would be interesting to keep playing with it.
NOT ALL IS LOST. I have a computer with the exact same problem as your customer's. There is a solution to it. Leave the battery and the CMOS battery connected. You power it on with the reset button next to the SD card slot. There's a pinhole next to the the slot. Other than that, its removing the batteries as mentioned in the video.
I tried the above to no avail booted it with reset button unplugged keyboard ribbon cable and it stayed on. Guess the power bottom is shorted? Going to buy a new keypad.
Their is a way through to this. Onthe left side of laptop, you will find a novo button. The Novo button is usually located on the side or near the power button of the machine. The button is either a small button or pinhole with a backwards arrow icon next to it that resembles an upside down U. Just insert a pin to press the button and the system will start. Buying a new laptop for such a small trouble doesnt seem worth it. Hope it helps
i did all of this but nothing worked so what could be the reason it's not turning on? also you said that the problem of her laptop was the motherboard, what is likely to be the reason for a motherboard to be broken? thank you sir
@@MichaelTheComputerGuy it's called "novo" button. Need to be pressed by hole as sim card phone oppening one. In this model it is on right side of SD card slot.
I'm facing the same problem.but if i disconnect the keyboard connection from motherboard laptop turns on and works fine but if i connect it again then it shuts down.does this mean my laptop's keyboard is broken?
Hello good sir. I'm having the same issues on the same model. After you removed that battery and drained the power, you plugged in the adapter while the battery was out. Did the charging light come on? I was unable to be sure in the video
hey mate! i just figured out the issue. It's the kbc chip. replaced it and laptop works flawlessly. you can buy programmed one on ebay for few dollars.
hi i have the same lenovo laptop my problem is the track pad not working not even cursor is showing i have try all to resolve the problem whit no success have you ever encounter that problem ?
I have similiar problem,,i trying using mouse and works,so i change my keyboard with the new one, and it solved, i think there some errors in my keyboard so its disable rhe trackpad, if your keyboard works try to enable your trackpad using Function key on keyboard
Great video! Thank you so much. Managed to get my daughters laptop going again. My only question is why did I have to disconnect all the batteries internally to get it working again??
It's a little strange that you would need to do that at that particular time but it's not that unusual to need to remove the batteries for a time in order to get a laptop to turn back on.
Thanks for the video bro... its works and was the same issue as urs after put back battery it doesn't turn on.. but the system still on no display. And in switched it off and turns on everything works fine thank you..
I have the same problem with my Ideapad 3 15ARE05 which won't turn on until I unplug the power and cmos battery. You said it was a common problem, so I'd like to know where you found this info? I'm hoping there maybe a common solution that involves repairing the motherboard. I can replace SMD components if that be the case.
When I just search for the symptom and the model number a lot of people were talking about it. The fix according to the majority of people talking about it is to replace the keyboard since that's where the power button is and apparently that is likely the problem. It could also be a motherboard problem in some circumstances.
The CMOS battery is there to keep the settings in the CMOS. It's not required for the computer to work. Removing it clears the CMOS settings back to the factory defaults.
The problem iam having with my acer laptop is the battery is dead but it still use to boot up now it would thak 5 minutes to boot but now it would boot blue light is on I can here the hard drive cycle like it's trying to boot so I have try all the you tube fixs except changing the CMOS battery. You said it will work without the battery but if you google it it controls most functions time and date etcetera
Hey .. idk but when i press my power button for 1 time. It doesn't respond but holding it can make me access the novo button menu and i can boot this thing up and yes no battery issue i can access my laptop without plugging in !
I have lenovo ideapad 320-15IKB laptop. That's the same problem. I think it is a keyboard. If i detach the keyboard. It work. But if i attach the keyboard it turns off. Need to change keyboard not the motherboard.

Some screws are captive meaning they can be loosened but not removed. If they don't turn at all and the heads are stripped out you can try using a flat head screw driver just wide enough to fit in the divet in the screw head. Press down very hard and turn it very slowly.
If you leave everything connected you can start the laptop by pressing the poweron button until it start. It is the same failsafe as removing the cmos battery.
@@MichaelTheComputerGuy After a power surge in the area I live in, my Lenevo e15 didn’t power on. Tried with a new charger, didn’t solve it. Tried removing the battery and pressing the power button for a while. Put back the battery, that doesn’t work. Resetting the bios also didn’t solve the issue.
Hi Michael, I have a Lenovo S340 that’s my daughters laptop and I bought a replacement battery tried all the steps of discharging static and unplugging the machine, power up again. The strange thing is when I put back the old battery I get white light at the charger and the power button lights up white for a few seconds and nothing. Then I put in the new battery same steps but I get a orange blinking light at the charging port and same for the power button lights up white for a few seconds and nothing? I also removed the CMOS battery with no avail. Please if you have any thoughts or suggestions it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
@@MichaelTheComputerGuy Well, my daughter came to me and said when she pushes the power button it lights up and goes away from no booting taking place. Thanks
@@markregalado6279 Did you replace the battery thinking it would then boot successfully? If so it usually doesn't work that way. What about following the video and removing the main battery and the coin battery and then connect the AC adapter. It may boot up and work.

Power screwdrivers for small delicate laptop screws has a lot of potential to strip the screw heads.
Having it be adjustable torque is important. This one is adjustable.
Worked for me. Thanks for sharing
Why didn't try before screw back? You had also reset/bios button to test if it's starting up..
