Lenovo Y450 laptop turns on briefly then shuts off

Computer is two years old and worked perfectly up until this problem. When pressing the power button to turn the computer on, it does one of three things: (1) the screen flashes bright white, and then the computer shuts off, (2) the computer starts to run for a few seconds with a black screen, then shuts off (3) the computer runs for a longer period of time, but the screen remains dark. Connecting to an external monitor during (3) did not work. The hard drive sounds like it's working. The battery is charged and there are no weird lights on. I am guessing it's some internal mystery problem but if you have an idea before I scrap it and post it on ebay, please let me know!!!

    The screen no longer flashes. It just turns on for a second, then turns off. Removing the RAM and hard drive made no difference. Performing an ESD also didn't help.

SOURCE: I got black screen a few seconds after reboot my

Hi. I think the LCD screen of your laptop needs a replacement because I think the backlight on that LCD is already busted thats why you need to point a flashlight or some sort of light just to see the display. Powerdraining your computer wont work because this already a hardware issue with the LCD, that's why when you switch display with your monitor it works fine. I would suggest replacing the LCD of that laptop or try calling Lenovo tech support if your laptop still under warranty so that they would replace it for free. This is no. to contact for your Lenovo laptop US/Canada 1-800-426-7378, Australia 1-300-880-917. Hope this Helps

My laptop is not charging. i plug the power in but still doenst charge. im not sure if its on the power cords or on the laptop please help asap i need my laptop for school :(

Does the laptop work on AC ? Is the battery or cord/charged a replacement? First, try another cord/charger of the EXACT same specs as original. Second, Is the battery good? How old? Over 4 years? Have it tested. Beware of inexpensive aftermarket batteries and cord/chargers. I assume the laptop works on AC? If you unplug the AC , with battery in, the laptop shuts down immediately?

Hi,

I think it would be better if you order the bottom base cover for the machine, because the bottom base cover have the power port connector installed with it and its connected to the Motherboard, the power port is not built-in to the Motherboard for the model of your machine.

Here are the Phone List of Lenovo.

My lenovo ideapad y450 cannot shutting down. Why did it? Gimme a way to solve this problem

hi,

theres a possiblity that the problem is with the Operating System,what I suggest is you set the computer to the factory default,but just to give you a heads up,once you set it to the defaukt settings,it will delete everything so you need to back up all the files first... Once you back up all the files,turn off the laptop and then press the little button near the power button,that is just a little button with a drawing of an arrow going down.. there will be an optio that says one key recovery,choose that one then choose restore from factorys back up/initial back up then click on next then it will go back to the time when you first got the pc out of the box, hope this will help...


thanks

I have some problem with my bluetooth iam using lenovo ideapad Y450 i got it just few months back...,i dont know what is the problem...maybe i deleted something r not ..m not sure can some one please...

usually you press Fn + F5, However this will not work untill Lenovo Energy Management is installed.. So install that first and hit Fn + F5 to see wireless on and bluetooth off.. set that to on and Windows will install the drivers automatically from windows update.. Or you can also use lenovo bluetooth driver below.

Or go to this web site and download bluesoleil drivers. These work great most times. http://www.bluesoleil.com/
