Only Fan turns on when holding power button

Hi!

So my problem is, that my Lenovo Y50-70 wont turn on at all. Only the fan starts when holding the power or recovery button. (Fan only works for 10 secs. then the whole laptop is quiet, USB 3.0 Ports has Voltage the 10 secs. fan is running)

would be nice if i get an answear here.

Maybe the Problem is electrostatic charge. but since i cant remove the battery i ve no idea how to make a discharge.

Regards,

One method of doing a hard reset is to remove the power cord and press the power button for 20 seconds.

Another method is, with a low battery and while charging, press and hold power button until the battery LED is off, then immediately pull the cable, release the power button, and try to power it on again.

UPDATE: Ok, I know this is an old thread but since that didn't work - have you checked the RAM?

No problem. Give it a try though, this advice is specific to your model, so it might fix the problem.

tried both of them. Sadly nothing worked. Is there any other method?

Thanks!
