I have an IdeaPad 3 that came in with a busted screen... But otherwise it powered up..

I pulled the old screen and put in a new one, same size, same connector.. Once I did that, they laptop was dead. No power to anything..

I let it sit over night hoping the laptop elves would fix it for me.. Came in this morning and hooked up power.. Now the LED Power just blinks constantly... The fan does power up for about 30 seconds and the keyboard backlight comes on...

I have tried different power adapters. Pulled the BIOS battery.. Held power button for a minute.. Pulled RAM and HD...

This is really stressing me out and I am hoping it's something less than an MB replacement...

Thanx in advance for any assistance...

UPDATE...

I was futzin' with the laptop and, all of the sudden, it booted up.. The Power LED still was blinking and then the LED turned orange....

What I am thinking is that maybe the battery was completely dead and needed a charge to get going.. But that wouldn't explain why it was not coming on with a power adapter was hooked up...

But it seems to be good now...
