    When screen is black, use a flashlight on the front of the display.

    Can you see the video graphics on each power on?

    If yes, then appears to be a failing backlight fault.

      You can see if numlock key on usb kbd glows or not on every poweron attempt. That will give us an idea whether mb is posting everytime or not. Link schematic if available.

          1) Remove the ram - power up - do you hear the same beeping pattern ?

          2) Guessing that you will. Replace the RAM with a proper known good ram for this chassis.

            Asking again, is schematic avlbl?? Measure voltage & resistance on all coils. Consumption on dc supply with ram/without ram?

              without ram always emits 5 beeps-pause-5 beeps, then one beep-pause-three beeps-pause-three beeps-pause-one beep

                I have no possibility to measure power consumption, however I wanted to inform that the note works only after having insisted on turning it on for 5/6 times, so I don't think there are broken components on the main otherwise it would not have worked ... maybe it needs to rewrite the firmware ?

                  Lenovo Legion 5 high fan spin turns off after 34 seconds
                  by twonk9098
                  Hi all,

                  I have a Lenovo Legion 5 with a Ryzen 7 series CPU and RTX 3070 GPU. My issue is that it turns on and all seems fine except after a few seconds the fans spin up high and the laptop turns off after 34 seconds.
                  I can get into bios and can even boot and login to Windows however after 34 seconds no matter if Im at the bios screen or booted into Windows it will just turn off.

                  I have managed to run HWmonitor and the temperatures of the CPU and GPU are fine, I can also touch the heatsync which is warm but not hot.

                  I have tried a few new bios but exactly...

                  Lenovo Ideapad S400 turns off when booting into any OS desktop
                  by keepread
                  I've been using this laptop for quite some time w/o battery. It has Linux installed. Recently, someone sent me a web link in an instant messenger. When I clicked on that link the laptop turned off that instant, before the browser even loaded to open it. Since then it turns off several seconds after I start it up and log into the Linux graphical desktop. I can see the mouse cursor moving around the screen when I draw my finger on the touchpad or move the mouse, and then a terminal window begins to load because the desktop autostarts it from last time, and then I hear a pop from the speakers and...
