The heat pipe sits on top of the memory, you have to loosen/ remove all 5 screws on the fan-heat pipe assembly and carefully pivot rotate the fan so as not to damage the cable from the fan to the board near the edge of the motherboard. I decided that my motherboard(mb) was gone also but when I opened the back to check the mb part number I decided to lift the fan and heat pipe. I ran a diagnostic that would sometimes log a memory fault, but not consistently. Tried reloading Windows with same behavior. The yoga 3 pro (about 2 years old) would subsequently not complete it's boot sequence. I was having stability problems and a memory issue that started very abruptly while surfing. **Note: I was just thinking if you update your BIOS again in the future it may revert and the same solution would need to be applied again possibly. If you do then set the boot option in the BIOS to legacy boot only and it may resolve your issue. So in closing if you are running a legacy OS configuration and both legacy boot mode and UEFI boot options are enabled in the BIOS you may see a hang after restart at the windows logo. I then restarted a few more times just to be sure but the problem is GONE!
low and behold I saved the settings in the BIOS and it restarted as expected. My system is not UEFI and was upgraded from windows 7, it is a legacy boot so I removed the UEFI boot option and left it Legacy Boot only… *drum roll please* I felt this had to be related to the BIOS config somehow and found that boot to UEFI and Legacy Boot were both enabled. So I had this exact same issue for several months (restarting in any way hung on windows logo pre OS loading / Hard power off and it starts up fine). think i should get a part replacement to switch memory ram or.? btw, it's so possible that sims 4 used up all the disk space that impossibly boots up ever since. so, it's hard to tell whether it needs charge or it's fully charged. the power light (solid white) is not blinking as before.įor the battery indicator that i close the cover (lid) that shows is on but no amber blinking at all when plugged in. i now unplug it when to leave the lid open and each solid white on both power and battery indicators stay on as same as lenovo logo with no blinking indicators. when plugged in, waited 15 minutes and the battery indicator shows no amber blinking (only solid white stays on) as i leave the lid open as lenovo logo stucks or stays on. another problem that i didnt realize before. nothing's succeed in more than 3 weeks before i decided to post here and the 2nd time now. still the same problem as everything else ive tried. Did that before and just tried it again and still no luck.
