How to do a Power-Cycle / Reset of a Dual battery Lenovo Laptop (eg. T440 / T440s)

- Is your dual-battery Lenovo laptop not powering on? Holding the power button for 30 seconds does fix some problems, but if that still doesn't work for you, try this method to get it going again - your laptop may just be in a short-circuit protection mode. All you need is a standard small screwdriver and a plastic pry tool (eg. plastic card or guitar pick). The model in the video is the T440, but the same concept should apply to most dual-battery Lenovo laptops, such as the Lenovo Thinkpad T440, T440s, T450, T450s, T450s, T460, T460s X240, X250, X260 and possibly others.
I can't thank you enough ...you have just saved me from an emotional breakdown. My laptop is up and running
You are still helping in 2023. Thank you, Stephen!
You saved my life on this fix. Amazing a tiny paperclip can fix a computer. Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this. You help many people.
Did this preserve your data?
You're a life saver! I was panicking so hard that I'd have to send my laptop to repairs during a tight scheduled project! Also just want to say this worked on a T480
Thank you, it worked for my T440P perfect! Though the location was different for the circuit breaker, but managed to identify seeing your video, it with the 4 color wires going on the extreme right hand side just above the hard drive area. Thanks from Kolhapur, India!
Thanks a ton, pressing in the whole with a pin worked for my T480 laptop on my deadline day, I wish you live a long and happy life
Thanks Stephen De Tomas for making this very useful video.
I have tried to fix it by just pressing the that button for 25 seconds and It worked well .
I confirm after 4years it's still working you deserve one more subscriber👍
Wow...worked like a charm on my T1440s and saved me $100 on going to a Computer Technician here in Australia where I live👍♥️🙏
Brother you powerful. 2 weeks I suffered for that problem and now I saw your vedio and its working. Thank you so much. ❤❤
life saver mate thanks a thousand. spent 30 quid on a new one for it to not detect it. Just followed this video and it's working fine now :)
You are a star, Stephen. Thank you very much, as the second, slightly more involved step revived my T440s.
This happened to me a second time. Didnt panic. Just found this well explained video, completed the steps and I'm back making 🔥🔥🔥 music!! Good lookin out💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

This fixed my Thinkpad T440s that had a blinking power button and the F1, F4, and Function buttons blinking! Thank you!!
15 seconds that saved my mental stability
mate thank you so much. last time it happened i was charged £35 to fix it and he said that he just reset it and it happened again now and i googled it how to and found this vid and took me 15 seconds to reset from the back of my laptop without removing anything and it is working. thank you so much
Worked for me wow btw if your laptop ever dies all the way this is the method you deserve a sup fr 🙏🙏🙏
Paper clip worked for T450s. Thank you!
Mate I tryed the paperclip trick and it worked I tryed everything mate your a legend saved me lots of money
thanks man just saved me buying a whole new charger
Unique idea.❤ cover opening with card
Thank you! The first step fixed my issue 🤲🏼
The paper clip trick worked. Thankfully I didn’t have to get the office involved. Don’t want to end up back there!
Solved my problem (not charging internal battery) at first tip; using a clip to press button and reset battery 1. Thank you, bro !
Thank you so much! It works also with T450 and helps when laptop boots normally but don't see 2nd battery. Now it works. Thanks again :)
Thank you @Stephen, I opened it before it worked
THANK YOU! You fixed my laptop with a paperclip! Thank you so much for fixing this situation! You are absolutely brilliant.
what version is your laptop please!!?? im scared due to my laptop being new it might not work the same as other versions
Paperclip worked. Thanks for posting this video!
If you had this issue in 2020 please say thanks Steph 🙌
Thank you so much for this video, it really helped me out. Have an older X240 that doesnt have the little reset button so you explaining how to do this by removing the internal battery helped revive the little laptop.
Thanks for the info . This helped me a lot. I have removed the charger and press and hold the reset button
Thank you so much!!! Thankfully, the simple reset worked for me. Great video!!!
I love how you teach ! Thank you
Awesomeness! 100% fixed my problem. Thanks for putting this video out!
Thanks a lot dear for this video, it helps me out of many problems. I have a model of Lenovo X240 looking many videos for past one day but I resolve my problem once you teach how to remove the internal battery and plug in its working...Alahmdulillah 😀😊
oh man you are awsome ! you did it ........i got back my laptop through this thank you
broo you're king frrr, you saved my 440s by this thanks a lot
Recently i have same problems, but thanks for you i can fix it!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you very much. I am the one who sleeps a lot. People open up to you.
it also worked on the X270. Thank you !
You just saved my job!
Thank you.. the paper clip worked fine for me on a t450s.
Excellent video. Finally solved this issue by pushing the reset pin at the back and unplugging the internal connector. Before this video, I tried disconnecting the battery and uninstalling the battery driver, but none of that worked. The only feedback is that I was prompted for the windows activation key again, which fortunately was handy.
The batteries are charging now! Thanks
brother same problem please tell me too
God bless you. You just saved my job! ¡Thanks a million!
thank you so much i had same model same problem , watched upto 0:53
problem solved 👍❤️
Thank you so much dear
Thank you so much! I tried the pinhole at first to no avail, thanks for inspiration to take the battery out!
I have same problem, and find a solution by this video. Thanks from Korea.
Hi great video. My T440s won't charge but the lights (on the power button and at the back) are flashing meaning the charger is working... Do I need to get a new motherboard?
Thanks, you have served me. I was about to burst in my thoughts 🙏🙏
Cool the 15 sec push had worked for me !!
Thank you so much! This was a great help.
Thank u man 😢 you saved me

Thank you Stephen you saved my life literally. You are the man!!!
Muchísimas gracias ! Me sirvió, se me había caído mi lenovo t450 . Y no me encendía ya me había resignado a tener q llevarla a un técnico. Gracias♡
Thank you sooooooo much. Worked on T480.
Thanks for you contents. I fixed my T460 by this video.
This works, but it is not the definitive solution.
updating the bios, would end the problem?
Thanks a lot. It is wonderful and 100% working tutorial
Thank you very much guy you save my life!
Cheers saved me a wasted trip back to the office.
Der Tip funktioniert auch für den Lenovo x240👍
Nothing worked did every step, I don't get it. Worked fine before. Then next day I tried to power it on it lit up green then orange really quickly and turned off and it has never came on again 😔

Thanks alot buddy am enjoying now
thank you for this video but i want you to assist me on how to fix the same issue when it is usually repeating. because sometimes i move without a screw driver.
Just happened to my T440s laptop out of the blue. I let the battery die - didn't use my laptop for two weeks and I've hit this issue. I am going to try this fix and give an update 🤞
So did it work?
@@yansen92 Yes sir! My laptop has been running ever since with Cloudready Chrome OS ;-) Thank you!
What about the permanent solution I'm fed up... It happens every alternate day... Is there any permanent solution?
You are a life saver. Thank you so much
Thank you so much for the video,this helped me a great deal🤗🤗🤗
Love you from Pakistan
Hi!
I have a different problem...
I tried your procedure, either to press the reset button and either to disconnect the internal battery, in order to do a reset but doesn't fixed my problem.
I bought a second hand Lenovo Thinkpad T440s with Win10 operating system and with the following problem:
when the PC is NOT connected to the power supply, the battery panel indicates that battery 2 (external) is in use, but in reality the system uses the battery 1 (internal).
For this reason, when battery 1 runs out, the PC switches off without warning and without switching to battery 2 ...
Do you have any other suggestions?
I'm going crazy! :-(
Thanks a lot!
I’ve tried literally everything.
I did exactly what you did.
Took the RAM out and put it back in
Did both of them combined
Did the little paper clip button
Tried multiple chargers
I have no clue what to do
Tanks very much u really saved me 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I use t470
It work for think pad t430
My Lenovo think pad is not working and I have tried this method but it’s hot turning on but charging
Bro you are a genius i love you
hi Stephen. i've had this problem once before. the laptop worked normally but when i plugged in the power supply, nothing would happen and it won't charge. then the next day i tried it again and it charged normally. now after a week or so i have the same problem again. all of a sudden it doesn't recognize that it is plugged in. i've tried both methods that you have shown and it still won't charge.
it worked .. thanks a lot ... very valuable piece of info
Thanks a lot for your video !
It helpeds me to unlock my Thinkpad x260 :-)
Can I turn on the laptop? Are the primary battery? Whenever I do, I get a critical low battery error and it turns off, is it normal?
Thank you very much for halp me😊❤
god bless you sir you are my savior
thanks for the information
Thank you very much !!! You are a best👌
Thanks so much :)))) this saved a visiting's friend!
Can it work for a X250?

I also tried disconnecting the usb charger port connected to mother board and connecting it back... Still doesn't work.... What do i do now... What must be wrong

My rdzA
i let my intrusive thoughts win so i sticked my phone's usb c charging cable to the usb 3.0 port and the other end to the usb c port . And, the rest is why i came to this video...💀(T470)
Anyways, thank you so much. I tought my T470 was actually fried.
Edit : Typo.
Thank you, it worked for me!
