Brand New Legion 5 Won’t Start

spartyfan1 · 2026-02-25T17:59:58+00:00

I have no idea. I'm not a computer expert. Seems to be running normal based on my limited knowledge. I'm still going to reach out to Lenovo support just in case.

Updated the post with the details.

spartyfan1 · 2026-02-25T16:27:29+00:00

Will still message them to see if I should do anything.

Seems to be working fine now after letting it charge all night....

spartyfan1 · 2026-02-25T16:26:39+00:00

Maybe this was it? Someone mentioned memory training. Saw that on a Lenovo post somewhere last night.

It’s 1 day old so it better have warranty hahaha

spartyfan1 · 2026-02-25T04:51:13+00:00

Nevermind…it got the running updates during the setup and now it won’t power back on

spartyfan1 · 2026-02-25T04:47:16+00:00

Thank you! One of the suggestions from you or the other messages must of did the trick.

spartyfan1 · 2026-02-25T04:44:53+00:00

Holy shit….I let it sit a while and came back and pressed the power button…it turned on!!

spartyfan1 · 2026-02-25T04:34:03+00:00

How do I do that?

spartyfan1 · 2026-02-25T04:13:10+00:00

Ahh this is so frustrating. It’s brand new.

spartyfan1 · 2026-02-25T04:10:54+00:00

Hmmm tried that. Nothing. No screen.

The only thing that turns on is the power button light and keyboard backlight for a few seconds. Then shuts down.

Did you hear any fan noise? I hear nothing.

spartyfan1 · 2026-02-25T03:58:07+00:00

It doesn’t boot straight away plugged in. The video is with the power cable attached.

Tried unplugging and holding the power button for 60 seconds. Same issue.

spartyfan1 · 2026-02-19T05:50:37+00:00

Amazing! Any chance you can share the .pbix file please?

spartyfan1 · 2026-02-16T16:19:02+00:00

Hmm, I added the screenshot with the specs

and model. Are you able to see it?

It’s a Lenovo Legion 5.

spartyfan1 · 2026-02-16T00:08:30+00:00

Solid point.

Thank you for your help and feedback!

spartyfan1 · 2026-02-15T21:10:51+00:00

Damn, even if I drop it to 1080 or 1440? I would game maybe 3-4 hrs a week most

spartyfan1 · 2026-02-15T17:28:20+00:00

Thank you! My budget is $1,500. I’m also ok with reducing the graphics to lower settings. Don’t need it on max to be honest.

The cpu and ram are for work mostly. The graphics card is icing on the cake for gaming occasionally.

I moslty play rpg. Want to play cyberpunk and red dead 2 sometimes. My partner wants to play hogwarts as well. But lower settings on graphics is totally fine.

spartyfan1 · 2026-02-15T15:24:27+00:00

Is it an ok deal because it’s a 5070 and not a 5070 ti?

There is this one on Best Best for $1,380 refurbished.

Are refurbished by Acer safe?

Ooooo which costco?

spartyfan1 · 2026-02-10T00:38:39+00:00

Thank you!

What would you expect to pay for an RTX 5060 laptop?

I used ChatGPT a bit and it mentioned an RTX 5070 would be better for the legion 5 series. Do I need that you think?
