My 4 year old Lenovo Flex4 1570 laptop won’t power on.

The battery led would blink amber lights. I tried unplugging the battery and holding the power button for 30 secs as suggested in some forums to get it out of sleep mode.

That didn’t work.

I figured then that the battery was done for and bought a new battery and replaced the old one. It’s charging now and I see blinking white lights indicating the new battery being charged. I tried powering on the laptop but I get the white power light to come on and then it goes off. Laptop does not power on.

Should the laptop power on when the new battery is charging? Or is it some other problem causing the laptop not to power on? CMOS battery?

I’ve seen some forums where the motherboard needs to be replaced. Not sure what to do at this point.

Thanks,

Sri

plug in heating pad for your back. Like you would find at any pharmacy store. High setting works perfect. Put the device screen facing up on a flat surface. Lay the heat pad on top of it and then weight it down a bit with a book or two. Gets the heat evenly distributed and perfect temperature without risk of overheating any spots

Or if you dont feel like buying one of those then this will work-

Wet a wash cloth or hand towel with water and loosely wring out just a medium amount so its still heavy but not too drippy

Fold till it fits inside 1 gallon bag zipped shut

Actually make sure to not fully zip the bags shut till after you microwave it for about a minute.

I like to put it inside a thin t-shirt or pillowcase.

That will retain the heat just as long as any of the other pads suggested . And it wont smell weird like some of the grain bags do.

plug-in heating pad is my fave tho and it never burns you or your delicate electronics

Sunbeam Heating Pad for Pain Relief, Standard Size UltraHeat, 3 Heat Settings with Moist Heat, Light Blue, 12-Inch x 15-Inch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00075M1T6/ref...

um a wet hand towel stuffed inside a ziplock bag and nuked for 2min ought to do it.
just dont zip it shut till after you nuke it or it will 'splode

I repair iPads all the time, and something like that would be useful. However unfortunately the shipping to where I live and the wait time would just kill it.

Does anyone know what is inside of the bag? I suspect it is made out of cotton with some sort of rice-type material inside.

Not so easy to make your own here. You'll need to do some experiments with what you have access to.

What you need is something that can be heated in a Microwave oven yet not burn up the oven. Then you need to find something that hold the heat for a while and does not make a mess or stain on your iPad.

Frankly, by the time you figure this out (if you can replicate it with what you have access to). It would be easier to just get one or two. Sorry ;-{
