Hey, It's been a while, but everytime I had some problem with my laptop I asked here and usually got help, so here we go again.
What's going on:
I went on holidays and left my laptop very hidden in my wardrobe. After a week, when I came back, I've noticed a problem. When I pressed the power button, the laptop would start, show me the Lenovo logo etc. but after 2-3 seconds it would turn off. Tried it a few times, removed the battery and stuff, after some time it worked (all I know now is that it's not the battery). I left my laptop in sleep mode for the night, and the next day I had the same situation. Then I decided to remove my HDD (the system is on SDD, the HDD was broken for months but I was too lazy to remove it). Suddenly it worked - but maybe it was just a coincidence. For the next few days I was very careful, I didn't use the sleep mode, but turned off my laptop everytime I didn't work on it (usually I turn it off only like once for a few days).
And now it happened again. I couldn't turn it on. After a few tries, removing the battery etc. it worked. So my question is: do you think the motherboard might be fucked up? Well, I'm almost sure it's that, but I want to know what some smarter people think about it. I'm using this laptop for over 2 years now (time to fuck up, isn't it?). I've had problems before with the graphic card - I've seen artifacts ingame, but I lowered the Graphic Card clock ticking or something and it worked. Once in a while when I play a game the screen might go black for a second and then I see the windows popup "The display driver stopped working, but it's okay now".
My warranty is long gone. I know, I should have returned it when I noticed the problems with the graphics (first months of using it), but I couldn't imagine staying without a laptop for a few weeks. If it's the motherboard, is there anything I can to, beside heating it (which is generally not reccomended?).
Thanks in advance,
Yours forever, Miczi
