This is why RUclips is one of the greatest inventions! I tried the reset button, no joy so I unscrewed the cover and unplugged the internal battery and it’s all come back on! Thank you my mate!
I normally don’t comment on RUclips videos, but I have a virtual visit with my dream uni this afternoon, and my Lenovo has been acting up all day. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much! The pinhole worked -- I truly appreciate the way you explain things and your calm voice... when we non-techies are freaking out inside..
Same here. I had it for almost 2 years now, had it reformated and increase memory space, then suddenly the power flicks on and off on its own. That God the "hold the button for thirty seconds" worked (there was no indication, so I had to count how long I was holding it)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Fixed my T490 right up after nothing else worked. Great to see that a 3 year old video is still helping people out. The magic of The Internet!
Just received a _"new"_ laptop from work and it would not start at all! I made several attempts, and it finally worked without my having to open up and get inside. Thanks for the video!
Thanks a million. My lenovo thinkpad refused to come back on. After watching your video, I pressed the tiny hole at the back of the laptop with a needle for 5 secs and then pressed the power button.
Got my friends lap-top working for him...followed the instructions, but nothing worked 'til I took the back off and started taking bits out. Motherboard battery was tricky to access, but also removed and replaced CD, Memory, hard disk and fan. Working great now and no leftover screws! Thanks.
i was literally panicking when it wasnt turning on. i frantically searched youtube and your video showed up. i tried the back pin method and it worked. you most certainly saved my ass man. thanks a lot
This worked for me! I put a new webcam into a T560, but afterwards it wouldn't power up and was totally bricked. I tried unplugging the charger and external battery and doing the power button hold, but no joy. Finally, I opened it up, disconnected the internal battery and CMOS battery and held the power button again. I reconnected the internal and CMOS batteries and tried again, and it powered right up. I was incredably relieved. After puttng it all back toether, it worked fine. Even the new webcam worked. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I didn't know what a CMOS battery was so I had to Google it, and my T470 refurbished don't have an internal battery, but luckily with just unplugging and plugging again the CMOS battery the laptop turned on again, so thanks a lot for making this comment!
Saved by this video! This pinhole feature is not being told anywhere, even Lenovo do no have it on their video for no power issues. Thumbs up man! 4 years but still helping, I'll support you by commenting honestly.
Dudeeee your trick for re-set button worked for me and I can't thank you enough!! My office laptop wasn't starting and I work in a health industry and cannot delay my work at all. You are a savior!! Thank you once again 🙂 love from India 🤟
Omg thank you! I was really scared that my laptop wont turn on, the main reason of why I was scared was because the laptop is not even mine, Once again i thank you for the solution!
Thank you so much! #1 I didn't realize I need to power it off instead of simply closing the lid. My laptop is new & kept having power issues. I thought it was faulty. I tried the power button for 30 seconds plus one more tap & my laptop turned on!! Thank you! I couldn't find the pin hole but I think it might be on the side next to the sim card & usb ports. You're the best!
Thank you! Big help for me.. It saved me to bring back my laptop at this time of Covid-19 crisis when the time that I'm not allowed to travel to office (only frontliners and essential goods delivery).
This worked for me on my X1 Carbon this morning. I stuck a push pin through the bottom hole and pressed the CMOS reset button for a few seconds and that did the trick Thanks, brother!
Wow!!! My laptop won't start. No sign of power. Literally it was dead. I tried changing the charger. I tried cursing, and more curses, then banged my laptop in frustration... until I decided to look for options on RUclips. I'm glad I watched your video. The pin-hole method works...Thank you.😁💪💪🙏🙏👍👍
*holds down the power button for 30 second while I already disassembled the thing rolling my eyes whilst thinking that 30 seconds would never help* *release button after the 30 seconds* *laptop boots* Can't thank you enough!
Omg dood, my son took the back off and found out that the hard drive was some how detached itself. I plugged it back in and it's updating my system now, for my Lenovo think pad!!! Thank you!!!...;)
THE CMOS RESET WORKED! I didn't even know that it was located on the bottom of my unit OR AT ALL! Thank you so much! This video fixed my issue in 2 minutes and i've been going by luck for 3 months now!!!
I was able to turn on my laptop by holding down the power button for 30 seconds, and then pressing it again normally. Thank you. Who would have thought it would be so easy, let alone possible, to turn on a laptop?
Thank you for the CMOS tip, it worked perfectly! And it saved my wife driving to her company for IT support, and due to covid restrictions that would be a challenge - not mentioning the danger. :)
Thank you thank you thank you my dad got me a laptop for school and it stopped working and he flipped on me and I just searched up this video in tears and it saved my life!
Oh my gosh you are a life saver!!! I thought I was going to lose days of work when my computer wouldn’t turn on, the pin hole did the trick! I’m beyond grateful!
Holy crap! The pin in the back worked on my son's laptop! We were about to start panicking because he uses it everyday for school. Hallelujah, Praise the Lord! Thank you!
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH THE PIN HOLE WORKED!! I WAS SO NERVOUS BECAUSE I ONLY HAD IT FOR A MONTH AND I WAS AFRAID I DID SOMETHING TO IT! THANK YOU AGAIN!!
Thank you so much! I held my power button for 30 seconds and boom it turned on after trying for an hour pushing the power button! Thanks my friend for the video was so helpful!👌🏿
Thank You. 30 seconds, then a little tap on the power button, worked perfectly!!. I didn't even have to go past your 2:30 time on video. Thank You AGAIN
Thankyou so much you saved my Lenovo T450 it was dead... and I reset the button under the the bottom on the back and now it fires up lovely.. 100% youtuber ;)
Thanks, that cmos reset jumper worked a charm. I had no idea that this laptop even had this feature. My guess is the lipo battery on my laptop has given up (I can feel it's a little puffy inside the hard case) and since it's lipo they can do some really nasty things with voltage when they go bad. I took the battery out and have been running off the PSU only and all seems good. So, if your battery doesn't hold a charge in your x270 please take it out! leave it out and run off your power supply. Not only is it dangerous to keep a dead lipo just hanging around it's also dangerous for the components inside your laptop. I hope this.helps others. Thanks again for this video and pointing me to the cmos jumper, I truly appreciate it as this is the computer I have set up for my senior parent. Cheers.
Thank you so much, I just bought a used thinkpad today and it was not turning on after I tried to insert my simcard.... I thought the motherboard was dead. I am so glad that you were the first video I watched. You have no idea, how much it helped! Thank you a billion times! My night was almost turning into a disaster and you saved it. :)
Thanks alot bro, I did exactly what you said and it worked. I opened my laptop and disconnected the battery and reset point and after a few minutes, reconnected them and the computer started just perfectly fine. Again, thanks
Thanks a lot for sharing the useful tips - I got my Lenovo T470 started up again after having disconnected the CMOS battery and the interal batteri and waited a few min.
Thanks for the fix, unplugging ac adapters and holding down power button worked but no idea why only lenovo laptops have this problem. This laptop gives me a headache every day
Thank you so much sir I thought I will loose all my programming courses but you helped me Thank you so much sir again for this helpful videos . Wish you good health 😊
Man god bless you. You saved my life. Accidentally water spill over laptop and it wasn’t starting and on next day after drying water in it. I just pressed pin into that tiny hole backside you mentioned for resetting cmos. And it’s working now.
That's awesome Singh! =) So glad I could help! Make sure you get all of your info backed up. I have spilled water on my laptops too. omg isnt it just the worst!
