I have to take exception to that because I bought a Lenovo ThinkPad in 2018, barely ever used it and now it won't even turn on.

[-] tyrant@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

If it won't power on at all you might need to let it charge overnight and then try again

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Or a new battery? Maybe display?

[-] tyrant@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Or maybe bad charger

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I have kept it plugged in for days. It won't even charge.

Only other troubleshooting step I can think of is to try pressing its "emergency-reset" button with a safety pin if it has one

Thank you. I will look for a tiny hidden emergency reset button that can only be accessed with a pin.

But it literally has no power at all. It won't even charge.

If it has an emergency reset button that is one of the exact symptoms pressing it can fix

This is no exception. Thinkpad used to be great years (decade?) ago. The stuff they have produced in recent years is crap. I had two work laptops in the last 4 years and both are absolutely terrible compared to the old stuff.

Yeah when I took my issue to Lenovo customer service, their first response was that my laptop has reached the end of its usable lifespan. 5 years!? I'm not wealthy and that thing cost me $1,500 and I will never be able to afford another laptop again.

consumer electronics are engineered for 3 years of use.

I bought a Lenovo 82k100lqus and I baby it. I try not to even open it or plug or unplug anything. external peripherals with a powered USB hub let me get away with this most of the time.

and I still think it's going to break exactly 3 years into it's life. I can hope not, tho.

They are going downhill and less user serviceable these days. Talking T series, the old workhorse. Older ones are still good.
