Chosen Solution

This Computer appears to boot but just a black screen. I tries holding the power button for 30 seconds to restart battery etc, but nothing works. Any suggestions or more steps to how to diagnose the problem?

I had this problem with an Ideapad 330s - Shift + F8 then press the power button did the trick.

If your Lenovo IdeaPad shows a black screen on startup before reaching the desktop, see the Lenovo IdeaPad U530 Touch Shows Black Screen on Startup problem page for possible causes and solutions.
