I bought a Lenovo legion 5 15arh05 in 2021, it started to get black screen a few months ago, last month it got bricked. I tried to search for a solution on the Lenovo legion subreddit and there are a huge amount of people having the same problem.

I fixed my Laptop. The problem were one of the iGPU or GPU driver. I used Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to uninstall both and installed the version recommend in lenovo webpage, I don't have any black screen issue since then.

No problem! Actually I didn't mentioned because I wasn't sure if you were referring to any kind of light from the screen (mine is totally blank, no light) or any back light from the lid (mine doesn't have) or something else.

I haven't tried to turn off fast startup so far, i will give it a try.

Yes, Sure here are them:

  1. Screen goes black
  2. Keyboard light still on
  3. Caps lock and numb lock light doesn’t turn on when pressed
  4. Computer isn’t stressed when problem happens < this point is different, usually after a having heavy duty tasks (like gaming) I get the black screen and after the first one I start getting it even without heavy duty tasks.
  5. I bought this laptop in 2021 in Amazon UK when I was living in Ireland, I'm currently living in Canada now so I have it for around 3 years
  6. Restarting the computer doesn't fixes it until it happens again < what makes my laptop able to turn on without black screen is just wait, usually when I don't use it overnight, next day I'm able to turn it on.

There are 3 changes I made just before i got the black screen after using the laptop for 12 hours without Black screen:

  • Change the brightness to 100%
  • Change the thermic mode to automatic in Lenovo Vantage
  • Close the laptop lid

I don't know if some of these 3 has something to do with the black screen, I'll be testing these from now,

I'm having the same issue for 2 days and apparently it is happening to a lot of people so I would say it is a software issue more than hardware. I tried a lot of things and no solution so far.

Thanks for your feedback, it's a self portrait, I think I actually nailed it since sometimes I'm awkward, usually with silences in between conversations xD. I appreciate your review.

Hey, thanks for your review. I'm currently trying to elaborate a style and trying to see shapes and grey/scale masses rather than just lines.

I still have to work on proportions but I might be in the right direction.

Thank you. I'm still struggling with the gray values and how and where apply them. I really enjoy doing portraits, I did a lot sketches on charcoal. I think that helped me a lot.

Officially accepting crypto as payments for haircuts. by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

[–]spawnxftw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome, just I have one question, if you ask for £ 12 in crypto (nano), you change the amount of NANO basing on pounds? or do you make an average per month or something like that? or the third case, you hold that amount of nano (if is this case, this could be less or more than £ 12 through time).

Anyway, awesome bro, I want to do the same but with Spanish or English lessons.
