Hello all. This is probably a duplicate of some kind; but I have scoured dozens of threads and there are often a few varying details. So here goes ...
For the past couple of months, my Yoga 13 was sometimes refusing to wake up after being in sleep mode. Usually, a hard restart works; but, that has recently stopped working. Sometimes I could successfully turn it back on after I left it for several hours. The same is true when it turns off or tries to restart. Fast forward to today - I have been unable to get the machine back on since Sunday.
When I turn it on, the power light comes on like normal, along with the battery light. The caps lock light also flashes on at this same time. Typically, caps lock stays off (and unresponsive), but the power and battery lights stay on. Sometimes those two lights flash off and back on twice before staying on (on - off - on - off - on). Other times, they just stay on from the beginning. Most of the time, the fan turns on when I turn it on too.
Throughout all of this, nothing shows on the screen (or an external screen). Based on the battery light, it seems that the battery charges and runs fine. Also, the system has an SSD, so it is hard to tell what the hard drive is doing.
I am hoping that you all can help me narrow down what the problem is, so that I can determine whether it is worth trying to fix it. I have only had this laptop for a little over 2 years and it was quite expensive, so I would hate for it to go to waste and for me to have to buy a new machine so soon. Also, I am willing to open the bottom of the machine for diagnostic purposes.
Thank you in advance for any help. Let me know if I left out any pertinent information.
