I got a Lenovo y700 and the laptop shut off out of nowhere and now it won't turn on or even start!!

I was on the laptop and it just shut off, no warning no nothing. And now the light doesn't turn on when it's connected to the charger and it won't turn on.

Hi,

Please do try these troubleshooting steps that may help.
- First is to try your laptop if it will boot up without it's battery.
- Remove the battery off the laptop then connect just the AC adapter and see if it will boot up and will stay on.
- If the laptop will stay on with just the charger connected that means it's the battery that is faulty.
- But if the same problem will persist without the battery that could mean that the AC adapter is faulty.
- Try a different AC adapter that has the same voltage or the same charger that you have and see if that will work.
- If a different AC adapter will still not work I would suggest opening the laptop and reseat the RAM's.
- Remove them all for couple of seconds then put them back in making sure everything is seated properly.
- If all these will not work that means the problem lies in the motherboard itself.

Hey thanks a lot for the reply. Is removing the battery my only option, because it seems pretty difficult to get to the battery on this type of laptop, I would be required to open up the bottom, but if that's my only option I'll go ahead and do it and let you know how it goes. If the problem is the battery I'm guessing I would have to buy a new battery, do they tend to be costly? Again thanks a lot for your help

Maybe something is wrong with your motherboard
