Why does my Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 suddenly won’t charge or open?

When my Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 stopped charging and wouldn’t turn on, I decided to look into potential battery issues. Here’s a detailed approach that worked for me:

1. Leave the tablet connected to its charger for at least an hour without trying to turn it on. This can sometimes give the battery just enough power to start charging properly.
2. If this doesn’t work, inspect the charger and the USB cable for any signs of wear and tear or damage. Try using a different, known-to-be-working charger and USB cable.
3. Check for any firmware updates. Connect your tablet to your computer and see if Lenovo’s PC app can recognize it, allowing you to update its software.

In my experience, software issues can also cause these symptoms. A helpful approach is to try booting into recovery mode if possible:

1. Press and hold the power button and the volume up button simultaneously to enter the boot menu.
2. If the menu appears, use the volume buttons to navigate to the recovery mode option and select it with the power button.
3. From recovery mode, you may be able to reset the device or perform other troubleshooting actions.

If your Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 suddenly won’t charge or open, the first thing you can try is a hard reset. This method can sometimes jolt your tablet back into life by forcing it to restart. Here’s how to do it:

1. Press and hold the power button for about 10-20 seconds to see if the tablet reboots.
2. If the tablet remains unresponsive, try pressing both the power button and the volume down button simultaneously and hold them for about 10-20 seconds.
3. If the tablet turns on, let it charge fully before using it again.

Once, my Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 showed the same symptoms of not charging or turning on. It turned out to be an internal fault with the battery connector. I eventually took it to a Lenovo authorized service center. The technician opened the tablet and found a loose battery connector. After securing the connection, the tablet charged and powered on just fine.

Once my Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 wouldn’t charge or turn on, it ended up being a simple fix involving a forced shutdown:

1. Disconnect the charger and make sure the tablet is unplugged.
2. Hold down both the power button and the volume up button for about 30 seconds.
3. Release the buttons and try turning on the tablet normally. This forced shutdown reset the internal circuits and my tablet powered on.

I faced a similar issue with my Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2. What worked for me was checking the charging port. Sometimes dust or debris can prevent proper charging. I used a can of compressed air to gently blow out any dust from the charging port. After cleaning it, I tried plugging in the charger again, and the tablet began to charge. Make sure you are using an original Lenovo charger, as third-party chargers can sometimes be incompatible.

If the problem still persists after trying all the above steps, it might be related to a deeper hardware issue requiring professional diagnosis. Taking it to an official Lenovo service center ensures the correct troubleshooting steps are followed and any failing components, like the motherboard or battery, are properly replaced.
