This is a not very old thinkpad x13 Gen2. This was a work computer - I was laid off, they shut off my access, I tried through multiple channels several times to return this computer, they don't care and it's been 4 months, so it's a grayish area where i feel justified having this nice PC laptop but I'm also not sure if I'll get help from Lenovo if I turn to them for support.
I did a full windows reinstall a month or so back to wipe it clear and start new, everything came back OK. But, very shortly after that (while i was connecting my logi mx master/mxkeys peripherals) it shut off suddenly (there were beeps, I can't remember what the pattern of beeps were) and hasn't turned on since. What it will do is light up the little red light on the outside, light up the status light next to the power button inside, it will turn on the backlight under the keys, and the fan will blow briefly. You can see all of that here -
If I leave it plugged in, it will spend a while doing that cycle (light blinks, backlight turns on, fan blows, it turns off, it waits for a while, does it again) before it stops doing anything. Things I have tried are - using the little pinhole reset thing on the bottom, letting the battery drain down completely over a period of weeks and trying again, I've removed the back and taken out the battery and waited and then put the battery back and tried again. Nothing doing, and I think it is beyond my ability to troubleshoot from here. I would love to get this laptop working - any tips on next steps? Would be much appreciated.
