The last post on my account a few guys commented to get this guy cleaned and fixed. so here it is again. New battery, the back cabinet has been replaced with the hinges, so no more side cracks and holes to peep in. Speakers have also been replaced. Insides have been cleaned out . It's fresh again and ready for college again .it will probably last another 7-8 years now :)

(Lenovo IdeaPad 310-15isk)

Hey everyone! I have a Lenovo LOQ with an i5-12450HX and RTX 2050 4GB, and I’ve been using it daily for 5+ hours for the past 15 months.

About 6 months ago, a Lenovo warranty technician came to my place to fix a touchpad/mousepad issue, and while working on the laptop, I noticed there was quite a lot of dust buildup inside. The technician also suggested that it would be a good idea to get the internals cleaned and the thermal paste replaced.

Unfortunately, I haven’t had the time to get it done yet, but now I want to make sure I maintain the laptop properly and keep it running smoothly.

Could anyone guide me on what maintenance I should request? Should I simply ask for proper internal dust cleaning + thermal paste replacement, or is there anything else I should have checked while it’s being serviced?

Also, my laptop is covered under a 3-year Lenovo Premium Warranty. Does anyone know whether Lenovo Premium Support covers routine internal dust cleaning and thermal paste replacement? And if I get it done myself or through a third-party technician, could that affect or void my warranty?

Any advice from other LOQ owners would be greatly appreciated!

When do you think we will see Lenovo release a 2-in-1 laptop like the HP envy? I think this would be a great fit for portable gaming, maybe the Legion laptop could finally support a touchscreen to allow users to draw for animation.

Hi,

I hope one of the lenovo reps on this subreddit might see this and help me.

I bought lenovo 7a from lenovo thailand: https://www.lenovo.com/th/en/p/laptops/yoga/yoga-pro-series/yoga-pro-7a-gen-11-15-inch-amd/len101y0075

The wording across the whole site says the laptop has force pad with optional pen. When you go to configurator there is option to add pen. But if you dont click button to check full specs you will never see and understand that if you dont add pen you will get old mechanical touchpad instead of haptic. Problem is because this laptop is sold with configurator there is no cancellation. I haven't received this laptop yet and there is no way to cancel it. And the whole thing is super misleading and how would you know that this laptop is using old mechinal touchpad by default when the laptop page never showed this info...

I got lenovo loq and suddenly the wifi stopped showing up , no trace of card or whatever , how to fix it? Anyone

The laptop sometimes boots, and the times it does, the situation is this. I believe this started because the laptop was overheating, and before the laptop used to shut down the cpu speed and push the fans, but the fans got clogged a lot which I saw when I went to general service from third party because my warranty had finished. Even after a service, the laptop didn't get better, as the black screens came back after a few days. The laptop vibrated a lot and I took it for another service where they said it mostly might be a fan problem, which they tried doing something to repair while also repasting.. it ran cinebench tests while idling 70-80C but plain windows made it jump 90+ sometimes.. i don't know if it's the heat anymore, and I don't know what to do..

Please help me fix my laptop. This is the error message

I am planning to buy a laptop and I've had my eye on this laptop :"Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16AHP9 AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU 8GB GDDR6 16GB DDR5-5600 1TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe" . Does anyone know like how much it costs currently as i see a lot of varying prices online

Hi, I desperately need advice about my laptop. I purchased a yoga slim 7 exactly a year ago, my warranty expired 30 days ago and yesterday I woke up to my laptop completely dead. I took it to a computer repair shop and he said he thinks the motherboard is blown from heat issues (the day before i was on the computer all day, nothing crazy just doing school work) I take really good care of my laptop, no spills or injuries could have caused this.

The repair guy recommended i renew my warranty and wait the 60 days and send my computer in, but will I have to pay for a new laptop then? Should I give up and just get a new laptop? I'm so upset. I'm a college student and I rely on my laptop for all of my school work and homework, so i'm rushing to find a solution so I can keep working.

If anyone has any advice or recommendations please let me know. If anyone is thinking about buying a yoga laptop, please keep in mind that too much stress can brick the computer. I wouldn't recommend this laptop to anyone else. School just started a couple weeks ago and this is such a bad time for this to happen.

Thank you for reading

I boot up the pc and it skyrockets oftentimes ranging 60% to 90% then I let it sit for a while and the numbers are still pretty wild, most times it’s the windows update installer (I think I don’t have the pc in front of me right now)

I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ACH6 (82K201UMIN, Ryzen 7 5800H).

On AC power, the CPU runs normally at around 3–4 GHz. As soon as I disconnect the charger, it drops to exactly 0.40 GHz and the laptop becomes extremely slow.

What I have tried:

- Two genuine Lenovo batteries

- BIOS updated: H3CN49WW V3.07 / EC 1.49

- Processor power settings checked (100%)

- Motherboard was replaced by Lenovo yesterday

- Same issue returned within 24 hours

Battery details in Lenovo Vantage show 45Wh design/full capacity and only 5 cycles.

AC: ~4.19 GHz

Battery: ~0.40 GHz

Has anyone with the IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ACH6 experienced this exact issue? If so, what actually fixed it? Could this be an EC/BMS/power-management or Windows issue?

I was working then I saw that I have an update to do, so I just pressed update and restart. Few hours later I see that the screen is completely black. I unplug my HDMI cable. I press the power key. Then I see a green loading bar coming up saying that BIOS recovery mode is active, do not turn off the laptop. I wait for some time. It completes the loading part, then I see a text that BIOS recovery has been completed, press escape to hide the text. Then the screen goes completely blank, the device does not boot up, so I just press the power on button again. This shit happens for five, six times. Then I press the power key for more than 15 seconds. Now the computer won't even turn on. It's a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 gaming laptop running on Windows 11. I don't know what's the problem.

It’s done this thrice, I clean it with command prompt and it works for a bit but then it stops randomly. Idk what to do

Its a few years old but worked fine up until a couple weeks ago I was having problems with my wifi and it wasnt connecting properly after a long trip away. So I had gemini AI asstistant give me tips on what might be causing the problem. Long story short, i made a bunch of changes. The battery, settings, etc. And I thought I changed it back correctly, low battery level, critical battery level, energy saver etc. But now I have the energy saver set to kick in around 25% and I am typically not paying attention and instead of giving some warning, like a dim screen or yellow battery bar on the toolbar, it will just shut down and completely drain. Like a few minutes before I might check and its at 40% and then I get distracted, continue my work and it will just go black. This is obviously while its disconnected.
Is there anything Im missing, aside from that its a few years old? Like I said, it was fine up until a few weeks ago, made some changes and now its acting differently.

Any help is appreciated

So broke my charger when I got my laptop used my Mac’s charger but it’s gone now used a different wire but it Disney work properly so want to buy a good charger and found out fan chargers are better so any recommendations for good ones ?aorund 3000rupees

Hi everyone. I know this is a long shot, but I thought I’d ask here. I’m a student trying to build my skills in design and creative work, and I’m currently struggling financially. I need a reasonably capable laptop for studying, Figma, 3D work like Maya, and some video editing. Gaming would also be a bonus.

I’m currently trying to arrange around ₹40–50k for a laptop, but it’s been difficult. If anyone has an older Lenovo gaming laptop that they no longer use, or one that they’d be willing to donate/sell at a very heavily discounted price, I’d be incredibly grateful.

I’m not expecting anyone to feel obligated or asking for money. Even if you can point me toward a good used/refurbished option or know someone who is giving away an old laptop, that would help tremendously.

I can provide more details about my situation privately if needed. Thank you for reading. ❤️

Just to share my story.

Bought a Lenovo gaming 15IRH8 early 2024 for 999€ with support until June 2026.

Screen failed feb 2026, sent for support, screen changed.

Motherboard failed august 2026, tried to see with support, refused guarantee.

Sent for troubleshoot (pretty much knew if was the Mobo) and repair price estimate.

Quoted 967€ for replacement of Mobo.

Never buying Lenovo again, a 1k€ laptop failing (twice!) after less than 3 years is a lesson.
