Lenovo Flex 15 Not Turning On

[gckuhn]

I have a Lenovo Flex 15 that was purchased last November. It was working fine and then one day it failed to turn on. All I get in the battery light with flash three times in amber and then nothing. I have tried the options noted on the site to reset the laptop - e.g. taking the battery and unplugging the AC adapter and holding the power button for 30 sec. It won't turn on even when plugged in to the AC adapter. I replaced the AC adapter and not change. Should I replace the battery?

Hi,

Here are more troubleshooting steps that you can try that may help. You've pretty much done some of the possible troubleshooting.
- Start by removing the battery then boot it up with just the AC adapter.
-Next is to reseat the RAM, remove them all for couple of seconds then put them back in making sure that they are all seated properly.
- If you hear the laptop turning on and the fans spinning try and connect an external monitor and see if you'll get any display from it.
- If all these will not work the problem lies in the motherboard of your laptop.

I've attempted to boot with just the AC adapter / no battery and nothing happens
