My 4 YO Thinkpad T480 wouldn’t wake up from hibernation. The power button was acting up. I thought it was a fried motherboard. Luckily, solution# 2 worked like a charm. Thank u very much. Commenting to upkeep this post !

Excellent! THANK YOU!!
went through each step in sequence and solution #3 worked for my son’s Lenovo T470 :-)
From tears and upset thinking he’d lost everything to a big hug and a happy 11yr old again :-)
Just remember there are 2 x internal batteries to remove as well as the external ;-)
30 seconds holding the power button once all batteries removed and hey presto, it came back to life. Just had to reset the date and time on start-up and all seems to be working fine again.

Solution #3 – Fully Drain All Power (internal batteries)
Completely drain all power from the laptop – some disassembly required.

– Unplug power
– Remove bottom cover (search Youtube for a removal guide for your model) –
be careful, I broke 2 small plastic retaining pins towards the back lip where the external battery was. But case clipped back on fine, thankfully
– Remove both removable (external) and both internal Batteries (coin and large flat one)
-Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds (this was sufficient)
– Replace batteries, return bottom cover (it clicks back in then screw down)
– Plug in and Power on (fingers crossed ;-)

Thank you for the well documented procedure. After 35 years in the IT field, much of it managing IT departments, I appreciate your clear instructions along with a sense of humor. I’ve had my T15 Gen 1 for several years now and this was the first time this problem was encountered. Now retired, I no longer have a staff to rely on. For me it powered up with Step 1, so I’m headed to buy a MegaMillions ticket – the jackpot is $400M. Will let you know if I win. You deserve a finder’s fee

I’ve always love Lenovo laptops…certainly been more reliable than any other devices I’ve used and supported over the past 30 years. However, I have a Yoga that just had a system board replacement to resolve a bad USB port (2 months before warranty expired and I would “buy it” from my employer), and then a couple of weeks before I get my replacement device and “buy” this device, which I absolutely LOVE btw, I go to power it up Monday morning and nothing. No power light, nothing. Went through ALL of the normal troubleshooting steps, including removing batteries for a while. Now it does something…the power light blinks once…when I push the power button, but that’s all. Anything else to do other than find a replacement motherboard on eBay? Does anyone know the logic behind the various power light blink sequences?

Hi Wanfadger,

Hope you are doing good.
Does your t460s was showing keyboard blinks 2 times and nothing else.

I m facing the same issue where the laptop was closed on Thursday afternoon and when tried to start it on Monday, nothing happened.

Thanks

Thanks so much for this helpful post. I noticed when I plugged in the power to my laptop, the power button flashed green 3 times, but would not start. I performed the steps in sequence and it wasn’t until I performed Step 4 did my laptop finally start back up. Again, thanks so much for this post!

None of this works for me except step 5, and step 5.4 is the most hilarious thing I’ve seen on the Internet this week. Thanks for that! LOL

Lenovo Flex 5 81X20005US the step with pulling the battery cable out – carefully – worked, after holding the power down for 30 seconds i replugged the battery and it turned on. The bits you need are T5 “star” bits, t6 is too big and t4 is too small.
