    I have to take exception to that because I bought a Lenovo ThinkPad in 2018, barely ever used it and now it won’t even turn on.

      If it won’t power on at all you might need to let it charge overnight and then try again

        I have kept it plugged in for days. It won’t even charge.

          Only other troubleshooting step I can think of is to try pressing its “emergency-reset” button with a safety pin if it has one

            Thank you. I will look for a tiny hidden emergency reset button that can only be accessed with a pin.

            But it literally has no power at all. It won’t even charge.

              If it has an emergency reset button that is one of the exact symptoms pressing it can fix

      This is no exception. Thinkpad used to be great years (decade?) ago. The stuff they have produced in recent years is crap. I had two work laptops in the last 4 years and both are absolutely terrible compared to the old stuff.

        Yeah when I took my issue to Lenovo customer service, their first response was that my laptop has reached the end of its usable lifespan. 5 years!? I’m not wealthy and that thing cost me $1,500 and I will never be able to afford another laptop again.

      They are going downhill and less user serviceable these days. Talking T series, the old workhorse. Older ones are still good.
