levona flex 10 won't turn on but the power light is on

Hi,

Please do try these troubleshooting steps that may help.
- Start by doing a hard reboot, remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter then press and hold the power button for 20 seconds then try booting it up again.
- If this will not work, do test the AC adapter if it's working properly. Remove the battery and power the laptop with just the AC adapter connected and see if it will boot up or not. do also try a different AC adapter that has the same voltage and see if it will work or not.
- Proceed with reseating the RAM's if trying a different AC adapter will not work, remove them all for couple of seconds then put them back in making sure everything is seated properly.
- If it will still not work, connect an external monitor and see if you'll get any display from it. If there's a display on the external monitor that could mean that the problem is the built in display.
- But if there's still no display on the external monitor that means the problem lies in the motherboard.

Hi Katie, it's a Lenovo Flex 10 and the battery is built in and cannot be removed. If the power light comes on, this is a good thing. Just hope screen is working, then you can try this. Connect the power supply to flex 10, just in case battery is depleted.
First, turn off power button and wait a minute before starting. As soon as you press start button (light comes on), simultaneously press the Fn + F12 key (brightness icon + key). This will boot into the "Boot Manager" setup, but no options can be edited. Use down arrow and select "Windows Boot Manager" and press enter.
With luck, should boot to Windows 8 login screen. Also, you may get a blue popup menu appearing on the screen and asks if you wish to start "Recovery Mode". Select "Yes" and this may also fix problem.
