      Thanks!, it works. IDK what the EC (Embedded Control) was, but I do a quick search on Chat-GPT explained very good even teach me how to modify hex data using hex editor programs.

                Yes, indeed it's possible you have an LCD, Touchpad or RAM problem...from my "musical" experience with Lenovos
                Good luck!

                  the keyboard responds (caps lock indicator light).
                  if yes, start by disconnecting the battery and then disconnecting the screen from the motherboard.
                  test on an external screen

                  or use lenovo diagnostic for melody
