Is your Lenovo 500e Chromebook 81ES not powering on? Use this troubleshooting guide to help diagnose why.

Causes

1

Batteries in devices are not foolproof; they have a certain number of charging cycles. Once they reach their limit, they decay rapidly. This is a very common problem when laptops do not power on.

  • Hold your power button for 30 seconds, then wait to see if that will turn your screen on or any lights on your laptop.
  • Batteries, especially Lithium-ion batteries, if they are damaged, can start to swell and create a bulge, making the battery not hold a charge. To check to see if your laptop's battery is bulging, view this guide.

  • Laptops need an operating system to power on. If your SSD/HDD Hard Drive is corrupted or damaged, this could prevent your device from powering on.
  • You can check your device's Hard Drive by plugging your computer into another computer and trying to see if you can transfer files from the working computer to the non-working laptop.
  • You can also connect a USB stick to a USB port with your laptop's operating system loaded to see if you can upload the correct operating system.

When a computer fails to turn on, it may very well be due to the Motherboard failing or malfunctioning.

  • Inspect the motherboard for any loose components and ensure that all components are in good condition and not damaged. If components are damaged, replace the damaged components.
  • Follow the Step-by-Step guide [here] to repair or replace damaged components
  • Check the Motherboard for proper cooling and ensure all gluing and soldering components are sealed correctly. And everything is connected correctly as well.

When a computer fails to turn on, it may be that the charging port, the USB-C in this case, may not be accepting power to charge the system.

  • Inspect the USB-C port and ensure no water or dust has entered the port. If water and dust have entered the port, use a can of compressed air to clean the port out for about 30 seconds to 1 Minute and then test.
  • Ensure that the USB-C port is not damaged. Try a different USB-C cable and check if the cable is the problem or if it's the port.
  • Ensure that the cable and the computer are compatible and ensure that the USB-C cable is delivering the appropriate amount of power for that computer.
