raymac46 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I have this old Lenovo Flex2-15D junker laptop that I use to run EndeavourOS. The other day when I pushed the Power button nothing happened. Even after reconnecring the charger the laptop was totally dead. No BIOS Screen, no GRUB, nothing. I tried connecting a USB drive with Live Linux Mint and nothing - just blackness. I thought that I probably had a dead motherboard. I was ready to take the laptop apart to rescue the SSD when it occured to me to take a paper clip and press the Novo button (a pinhole reset button) on the side of the keyboard. At once a rescue menu appeared which gave me the option of Normal Startup. Selected that and the laptop sprang back to life. I don't know what the problem was but the Novo button fixed it. It's a good feature if you have an old Lenovo lying around. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
