Fix a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro that's not turning on - watch if nothing else works! By those1kidds

All right, this is Lenovo yoga.2 pro just give you a story. I know you don't care what I'm telling you anyways just saying get an idea that maybe if the same thing is happening to you, so my wife was using it just out of the blue. It turned off just for no reason. Ok, so I go online, and they say oh press and hold the power button forever. You know that didn't work. Take the battery out hold the power button forever that didn't work.

Basically, all the reset stuff didn't work. Now. What was weird yeah, so the power button here I would plug it in and the light would light up, amber red, and it would kind of sit there and blinked, and I went online, and it basically said it was the light right here. This light right here would blink and that just meant it was charging and so it charged and charged. Then finally, it went white which told me the battery was completely charged, and so I'm like ok great, so it's charging, and then I hit the power, but still nothing would happen, so I know the battery was charged, and so anyway, so what you want to do or what I did is I removed.

All these screws, ok, you're going to need a funky, you're going to need I used a t5, I think and it or t6 both of them seem to work. Ok, t6 seemed to work a little better. That's the tool kit that I got. It was like 7 or 8 bucks on eBay anyway, so I removed all these ok, and then you can just pull it off now this. This is the connector to the battery right here.

So I, just kind of pulled that out right pulled out the battery. You got screws right here right there right here right there, okay, unscrew, then I lifted the battery a little and then pulled that out. Then I pressed and held the power button. It's over here press and hold the power button, still didn't work, and then what was really weird is when the battery was out I plugged it in still didn't turn on, so she's thinking. The whole thing was host until finally, I decided to unhook the CMOS battery gate, which is right here, so I took some tiny pliers or whatever the heck.

You want to call these needle nose and I came down here and I just kind of squeezed those, and I pulled it out, and I waited for about 30 seconds then put it back in, and then I plugged it back in and right when I plugged it on plugged it in the computer turned on. So it's making me think there was some sort of confliction with the motherboard and the battery and everything. So when I pulled out that battery it worked now. Also, I did well not me, but my wife I, don't know sorry guys its late, so you can see that we did. We did damage this a little.

Okay and I think this might be the culprit and I think this might be why this happened. This computer is actually stepped on, so that part got damaged right a little and then the plug-in that we use. You can see that that got damaged as well, so we and it's, but it's been working for months even after that, and I had actually had to replace the screen and everything because the spring. The screen got cracked. So anyway is just a long story to kind of hopefully help you troubleshoot.

If the battery and holding the button and all that stuff doesn't work removing the battery by the way you have to remember there I think I already said that but saying it again. If all of that isn't working, what ended up working for me is just removing that CMOS battery connector right there I just pulled it out and then put it back in anyways. Maybe they helped someone out there. Maybe it won't, but I think what I'm going to do next actually is I've found on eBay I can replace these plug in jacks they're. Like seven bucks, it's not bad.

So if this happens again, I'm probably going to replace that, and if you want to replace it, you just remove those screws. Take this brings it up. Okay, and then you may have to remove this board too, and remove the hard drive unscrew that pull it out. Okay and then there's a little connector right there and that's the connector that goes to that. So I'll may replace that and see how that helps or if that helps or what I don't know, but anyways just to prove that this worked well yeah.

Why not it's funny now that I'm doing this, it probably won't work, can just press it once and here we go. So that is a good it's very good, but I'm guessing because of this crappy short right here, because I damaged that it just shorted something out and resetting that CMOS battery's good and fixed it. So anyways like I, said, hopefully that helps someone out there. If not well, I wasted my time. Hey you guys.
