A customer in North London brought us a Lenovo V15-IIL that would not turn on at all. They had already tried resets and charger checks with no success.

Case Summary

Device
Lenovo V15-IIL laptop
Problem
Laptop completely unresponsive with black screen
Diagnosis
Multiple motherboard-level faults and outdated/corrupted BIOS state
Fix
Motherboard servicing, minor component replacement, BIOS update, and internal clean
Outcome
Laptop powered on normally again with customer data intact
Timeframe
Same day

Overview

This Lenovo V15-IIL came in after failing to power on despite multiple reset attempts at home. The customer mainly wanted reliable startup and safe access to their files.

Symptoms

  • No power-on response and persistent black screen
  • Reset attempts and charger checks did not resolve the issue
  • Concern about possible data loss

Diagnosis

Bench testing showed the problem was not a simple charger fault. We found motherboard-level issues and a BIOS state that needed correction before the system could initialise consistently.

Fix

We serviced the board, replaced small failed components, updated the BIOS, and completed a full internal dust clean while the laptop was open.

Result

The Lenovo booted normally again with no recurring startup fault during post-repair checks. User files remained accessible.

Prevention / Tips

If a laptop repeatedly fails to power on, avoid repeated forced starts. Book diagnostics early to prevent avoidable board damage.
