Is your Lenovo laptop screen stubbornly refusing to light up? Don't panic! A black screen doesn't always mean a terminal hardware failure. Before you resign yourself to pricey repairs, try these troubleshooting steps.
First, perform a hard reset. Disconnect the power adapter, remove the battery (if removable), and press and hold the power button for 60 seconds. Reconnect everything and try booting up.
If that doesn't work, check the display connections. If you have an external monitor, connect it to your laptop. If the external monitor displays an image, the issue likely lies with your laptop's screen or its connection.
Try updating your graphics drivers. Outdated or corrupted drivers can cause display problems. Boot into Safe Mode (usually by repeatedly pressing F8 or Shift+F8 during startup) and update your drivers from Device Manager.
Still staring at a blank screen? It might be time to consult a professional. Contact Lenovo support or a qualified technician for further diagnosis and repair. Good luck!
