cheers
Life saver!!! I have an essay due tonight and couldn’t get my laptop to turn on till I found your video
Great to read this has helped
I just recently found you tonight after my screen went on the battery safe mode. Not only did you help me out but another person who showed me how to enter Bios through to indirect methods and one direct method to the Uemi setup.... that's literally solved the problem I've been having. Thank you so much, this really made my day after the crap I've been going on lately with technology.
great to read you have sorted out your issue. :)
Thanks a lot mate! Got an assignment due in a day that is pretty important and I've worked on for a while, and thought I was screwed. Life saver 🙌
cheers
Thank you! Your video helps me a lot! My laptop got deep sleep since 7 hours a go, but now It's already on!
YOU'RE AWESOME!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Fixed it right away without any other problems!!! I have never had a self help video actually solve my problem that quick or make it that simple!
Great to hear this helped you:)
gonna save this for when my computer comes in. I think i'll change the settings before I encounter the bug
This helped me. Thanks brother. Just to add, I had to fully charge my laptop and then unplug the power cable and continued with your steps for it to work. For some reason, when power cable is still connected, the fn + f2 + power did nothing.
thanks for your tip
Omg..I can't thank u enough..I was literally scared why my laptop isn't working..I sat and searched for so many hours for a solution..and finally came across your video..
Can't thank u enough
Glad I could help
Thank you so much, I searched a lot but your video is what I was looking for!!

Glad it helped
Thank you so much for this!!! I was about to cry 😭
You're so welcome!
@@rickstechrepairs my is not working
After how much time after buying this laptop did you face this issue
@@kothurivishwateja2415 mine was almost immediately. I don't think it's a physical damage issues, it's more of software, it comes like that... Sometimes.
Same
This was driving me nuts, thank you for posting this it worked!
Glad it helped!
I just did this. It worked! Thank you so much for saving me some money and a trip to the repairman.
Glad it helped
Very useful!!! Thanks a lot!!!
Your THE BEST i watched sooo many videos none worked and i found U! Ur such a blessing! God bless U❣️
Cheers :)
I am not a person who normally writes comments but this saved my day. I had an assignment due overnight and exams the very next day. This saved my life. Thank you thank you so very much.
Thank you, great to read this has helped you
Thank you so much!
You saved my life and my master thesis!! Thank you soooo much!!!!!
I shall name my firstborn after you.
A thank you is more than enough for me :)
You are so good. I searched more than 1 hour on Google and even got to lenovo page. All the suggestions didn't help me to turn on my laptop. Your video did - spot on for deep sleep with fn+f2. That us just 2 mins into the video before changing the setting. 🎉
I just realized how awesome TH-cam is and made me want to pay for their monthly subscription.
cheers , great to read this has helped you
Just holding function and f2 then the power button for a lil bit started it up, appreciate it man
cheers
I had the same issue, you are really helping people! thanks!
Cheers :)
This is so helpful! Thank you!
your welcome
You're a life saver, I thought I would have to replace my computer thanks
Does your flexpad have an amd or intel processor?
Thank you so much bro! This spell worked liked a charm!!
Cheers
Thank you so much man, I was searching for 15 minutes. Nobody talked about this. All of them is talking about Lenovo button , Have a great day. 👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers
Thank you so much this was so extremely helpful you have no idea!!
No worries at all
Thank you so much. Really helpful. This tips save my laptop
Glad it helped!
Thanks Dude, your method corrected the problem on my new flex5...on the new flex5 you can get into bios quickly or with less steps.
Great to hear!
You are my Swami! :)
OMG! 😱 I thought that I had this problem because I didn’t know where the on/ off power button was (right side) and I would just press any key to turn it on and sometimes it didn’t work. Thanks to you I realized where it was. Didn’t know what you meant by the pale button 😀
Cheers
Neither did I! And I have been using this laptop for over a year now 😀
Thank you so much .. it worked!
it's very useful video... i applied what u did when my my lenovo idea pad flex 5 won't open, and i try what u taught 100% WORKED..thank you so much for sharing..!
How much time did it take man.... Mine's not starting lmao
Thanks dude, the first seconds with fn+f2+power button helped me.
Glad I could help
Thank u so much you saved my life you’re the best!
Your welcome
My laptop seems to not open up and let me log in after the backlight turns on, is there a way to get into the bios without logging in?
The anxiety hit VERY hard when thus happened. I was about to break down as I had been saving up for this machine for the past year.
hope its all good for you now
@@rickstechrepairs yeah im good now
Great
@@rickstechrepairs it did somehow turned on eventually. Then I changed the bios settings. But the same issue came back right now. What am I supposed to do now?😢😢
might have to go down the warranty path.
Also when you get it going once more posssibly disable sleep
Very helpful. Mine worked under a minute. Much appreciated!
Glad it helped!
Thanks! I'm a computer dummy and just followed along with this to fix my computer!
Should hopefully fix your issue
@@rickstechrepairs I'm looking forward to buy it, please tell me about the hinge quality of this laptop, and does the screen flex while rotating? They say when the screen is rotated from an edge, the screen flexes and backlight bleed is enormous when it does...
@@rickstechrepairs pls answer, it would be so helpful
@@sanchaiahilan Hi , have a look at my video review of this machine on my channel
The backlight bleed for me was worse around the webcam but with an image on the screen it's fine
Hinges seem ok, but time will tell and depending on how often you use it folded over
@@rickstechrepairs tq for the information
You are the best. Had been facing this problem for a while now.
Cheers
Your fix WORKED!! Thank you very much!
Your welcome
Now I using lenovo flex 5 intel core i5(type c charging) . When I charging the battery it have sound zzzz from adapter. ( It mostly get louder when battery full (charge direct to notebook)
Is it normal for this module. Did you notebook have any sound when charging. Thanks🙏
Man I watched this on the way to get a new laptop. Thank you!
Hopefully all good now
Thank you so much! This video really helped
Awesome
Helpful thanks! Turned it off to stop that silly thing from appearing.
Glad it helped!
While it has seemed to help, past the screen coming on for a few seconds and the little startup chime, it still won't actually come on. Is thare anything else I can do?

Thank you very much, this vdo really helped me in rectifying the error..... Thanks a ton bro
Your welcome
Thanks a lot..your trick works for me..
Ideapad flex 15IWL
Black screen..not even battery icon..
30 sec power button
Then put in the charger and again 30 second press power button..and then wait for around 2-3 minutes....it works..once again. Thanks
Great
Do we have to do the fn + f2 thing if the battery icon is also not visible or 30 second power button is sufficient ??
Thanks bro….u saved me from going to service center couple of times😭👍👍👍❤️👍
Happy to help
Thank you very much. Video was really helpful . Good job.
Cheers
Thank you so much, this just worked for me now. Now I know the computer went on a deep 😴, I was scared of what I should you but u just helped me with it.
Well done sorting it out
it's fn and f2 and power button right?
@@TonyRoseArzaga Yes
Thanks fam🙏🏼
i have the same laptop and was wondering how to get my keyboard backlight to turn on, i cant figure how to do that
Perfect, like you said, thank you so much for your help , you save me a big headache. Thanks again
Cheers
Brilliant...It worked...saved me hurling it across the room!
Glad it helped
We had this same problem. I did not know your fix yet but I finally got it to boot and immediately went to the Lenovo site and downloaded a BIOS update they had for this machine. Do you have any idea if the new bios update -the latest one - fixes the problem?
i dont know what their bios fixs sorry
Hopefully this is one of the things
Thanks heaps! Do you happen to know why the "OneKeyBattery" enables itself automatically?
cheers, no im not sure on that one sorry
What if I don’t have that?
My Lenovo flex five only less wireless LAN graphic device power bait internal virtual technology internal hyperthreading technology Vios backslash hotkey mode always on USB quiet mode in storage
Any thoughts on this
It worked, thank God; only just bought mine 2 months ago. I was stressed and pissed. Thanks 😊
your welcome :)
Hey, would tou still recommend buying it ?🙏
@@forgotten. YES its a wonderful laptop. Minus that bug.
I’ve faced the same issue. Tested all given solutions online, and finally figured it out that whenever i unplugged keyboard backlight, the system will boot normally. Tried a few more times, and then plugged back the backlight. Works for me. The socket is a small 4 pin right next to the giant battery socket.
Thank you so much this just worked for me 🙌
Excellent
Holly shit, thanks, I was worried all night, your a lifesaver
cheers :)
You the best!!! Thank you so much! Not sure what is causing this but. I was prepared to return the newly bought laptop that I received just yesterday as a gift
Glad I could help!
Didn't work - is it possible I have a fairly identical problem with a different cause? How could I fix that? I have an Ideapad Flex 15iml, the power button is on, capslock responds fine. When I restart i get the Lenovo loading page then the screen goes dark again. Fans whirring but no display and no response to anything I do.
try connecting to a screen via HDMI and see if you can get a picture
Oh my God, I thought I was gonna die. You're a life saver!
Cheers
Bro, appreciate it bro. I was bout to cryin cause ma laptop don't turn on. From Malaysia ❤️🙌
Glad this has helped you
What is crazy is i got this computer yesterday and it still have this same bug the video is 2 years old. Did what you said and it resuscitate my bran new computer that i was crying thinking i had to send back . Genious
Great to read this is still helping
Thank u. Just got it now. Really helped
Cheers
Thank you. I was so scared!
Cheers
Thank you! I got this laptop last year and hardly ever used it and the fan was going off but nothing on my screen. Ridiculous.
hope this has helped
exactly the same thing happened with my Flex 5 Ryzen 5 4500u. After hibernation I click the power button but screen is black and the fans run at 100%. It appears this issue affects all units, not a few. I'm glad there's such a simple workaround for this
Thanks for this.. really worked 💗
Cheers
Thank you so much it helps. I thought my laptop is broken.
glad this has helped

Love u man, I was soo scared cause this is my 2nd laptop this yr. I thought it might be broken again, my dad's gonna kill me.

@@rickstechrepairs Hahah u came in clutch again. I love u man😂.
I have the same type laptop as you have, but i have the ideapad flex 5i with intel gen 12th core i5, windows 11. When I started to press fn+f2 then press the power button on the side, it doesn't make the screen laptop turns on to the lockscreen as you were, but suddenly appear the novo button menu that have options to: normal startup, BIOS setup, Boot menu, System Recovery, and UEFI Diagnostics. I chose the bios because of what you mention before that you wanted to check the bios, then I chose the configuration -> OneKeyBattery -> Disabled -> Save and Exit (F10). After that, it restarts the laptop but didn't fix the problem, the screen still turned off as it was
Please, can you guide me to fix my laptop?
You’re a hero!! Thank you!
Your welcome
You're our Hero Bro! Thanks very very very vey much! God Blees You! 😇
Cheers
Which should i buy hp pavilion x360 i510th gen.or Lenovo IdeaPad flex 5 amd ryzen 4500
The Flex 5 Would have better integrated graphics (if games are on the cards)
