    Laptop stopped working. Wont turn on now. Red light blinks 3 times... ????

    My Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 11e has never had any problem till today. I was hooking up a USB port hub and when I plugging the cord into the port on my laptop my computer it shut down instantly. Now it wont
    turn on or do pretty well anything at all. The absolute only thing I can get it to do is when I plug it in the red light on the ThinkPad logo blinks 3 times. . HELP ME plz..

    It won't turn on at all. It was working fine and always has but I was going to use my external disk drive and when I plugging in the USB cord into the port on my laptop it shut off completely. I tried to turn it back on but it did nothing. I unplugged the
    power cord and when it and when I plugged it back in the red light on the Thinkpad logo (the dot in the "i" in ThinkPad) would flash 3 times the stay off. (It should stay on indicating that the laptop is powered on). Also the yellow light thats beside the
    charging port (that indicates that it's charging) was on when it was plugged in still like normal. But it still wasn't . turning on. So I left it charging for about an hour at most and when I came back and tried to turn it on again absolutely nothing was happening.
    No yellow charging light. No solid red light or flashing red light.. I've tried 2 different chargers and disconnected then reconnected the battery. Also the battery life has been great till now too. Ive never seen a battery die completely and instantly and
    then is not able to get a charge to it at all before. Idk.. I'm lost here...

    Why wont my laptop charge and why does the light indicator keep blinking red?

    White blinking light

    Hi Shannon

    All laptops have small LED lights on the casing, they indicate different things depending on the laptop, it may indicate hard drive activity, battery charging, or a possible problem with your laptop . . .

    What is the Make and exact Model No. of your laptop, that will be printed on a sticker on the bottom casing

    Are you able to start your laptop, or is this blinking light all you can see?
