Lenovo Laptop Does not Detec Battery

[climbravana]

Hello there. How are you? I hope all is well.

I have a question.

I opened my i5 Lenovo Ideapad 10-151KB to clean and put thermal paste. When I put it back together, the Laptop could not detect battery and will not turn on without plugging it in. The touchpad also doesnt work, and only the right side of the keyboard works.

Would you be able to please give me advice what to check?

It sounds like there may be multiple issues after reassembling your Lenovo Ideapad 10-151KB. Here's a checklist to troubleshoot:

1. Battery Issue:
   • Ensure the battery connector is fully seated in the motherboard.
   • Check if any pins in the battery connector are bent or damaged.
   • Inspect for debris or dust blocking the connection points.
   • Try a BIOS reset (remove the battery, unplug the charger, and hold the power button for 30 seconds).
   • If possible, test with a known working battery.
2. Touchpad and Keyboard:
   • Check if the ribbon cables for both the touchpad and keyboard are properly reconnected and seated. The keyboard might have two separate ribbons, and one could be loose.
   • Inspect the ribbons for any tears or damage.
   • Reseat the touchpad and keyboard connectors securely.
3. Software Reset:
   • Boot into the BIOS and check if the touchpad and keyboard are recognized.
   • In Windows, you may want to check the Device Manager for any driver issues. If the battery, touchpad, or keyboard shows errors, you can try reinstalling the drivers.
4. Check for Static or Power Issues:
   • Disconnect all power sources (battery and AC adapter), then press and hold the power button for about 10-15 seconds to discharge any remaining power in the system. Reconnect the battery and try again.

If these steps don't solve the issues, there could be more significant damage to the internal components or faulty reconnections.

Ouch! Sounds like you ran into a few hiccups during your laptop teardown. Don't worry, these issues are often fixable.

First, let's troubleshoot the battery: Ensure it's properly connected and seated. Check for any bent pins or loose contacts. If the battery still isn't detected, you might need to reset the BIOS.

For the touchpad and keyboard issues: Double-check all connections, especially the ribbon cables. If they seem secure, try updating the BIOS or reinstalling the keyboard and touchpad drivers.

If you're still having trouble, it might be best to consult a professional computer repair in Auckland. They have the tools and expertise to diagnose and fix these issues efficiently.

Remember, always take care of your laptop and refer to the user manual for specific instructions.

You must now go through and make sure all the ribbon cables are connected. There are tons of little ribbon cables that have to be connected in order for the peripherals to function properly. If one of these came loose, which is exactly what you are describing, then you have to open it back up and find out what ones. They have many different types of connectors but the concept is the same, there is a little bar that secures these cables into their seats. You must find the cable and make sure it is seated properly. Simply tracing the cable from the device, such as the touch pad, can accurately ascertain what cables to make sure to plug in. At Stephen Littleton - PC Computer Repair in Columbus, GA I just had a customer with the same exact situation. They were a bit curious and there were just a few cables that weren't connected. We showed them how to properly seat the ribbon cables and it went right back to work.
