Hi my friends - Any tech laptop people dwelling here? Geek Sqwuad is pretty lame. I figured it's worth a shot asking for help here before I start taking things apart today; stoner is synonymous with genius in many instance. I have a backup laptop but u must understand this is my main source here -

A week or so ago my laptop went black on me? I use it for illustration and design. Lenovo X1 Extreme Gen 1 ; i9 processor. Completely black no power to fans or lights nada my friend. If someone can help it won't go unappreciated! If this thread is breaking any rules apologies in advance .. Peace

Did you try a power cycle on it?
Disconnect all power and cables...remove battery...hold power for 5 seconds...reassemble just battery and power adapter and try to turn on.
This used to happen with a lot of OEM systems...they'd get stuck in some power issue.
Also try different plug in another room to be sure its not the outlet.

Did a quick look at the specs and this unit may not have an external PS/adapter...says AC in in docs...so it may have blown out the internal power supply.

I had tried this yes - there are two batteries actually it is confusing. I held the power for 5 seconds, did it all again and held it for 30 seconds, did it again and held it for 1 minute, did it again and threw it against the wall. All attempts proved same resultings

So it was weird - I leave this unit plugged in over night ; on the coldest morning this winter (one of them) is when I found it completely dead

I do this for a living bud, I am very familiar. No the pen one is not the same. I am going between calls, let me park and I will be right back to you. On the bright side if its dead there is likely no issue with your data so dont panic

You should be able to buy an external USB to (drive connection) and at least get your files off the drive...think specs said it was a 1TB PCIe SSD.
I was using this link.

As said above that was a CMOS/BIOS battery and has nothing to do with your issue.
The reset button also won't help.

Your problem is either power is not being distributed in the laptop due to a broken solder or fried internal board or your power supply is bad. Laptops power supplies are external. That is what should be tested any decent battery store or electronics store may be able to test it for you.
All you may need is a new power supply.

Look at the link I posted...PS says "AC in" in the document specs...so guessing it has internal one.
Mind you it also says "135 watt" adapter...so hard to say...lol
OP does it have an external power adapter?

I had bought a new charger last night to attempt this ; also tried my old one and nothing had changed. The secondary charger when plugged in was flashing blue
