If your ThinkPad is still under warranty I would make the call. There is nothing more frustrating than random shutdowns and losing hard earned work.

Check your Hotmail email.

Can you boot from the USB drive you created?

If you haven't already try reseating the drive.

The P53/P73 has the GPU integrated to the board so it may be more difficult to replace. P73 Xeon E2276 RTX5000 https://download.lenovo.com/Images/Parts/5B20S72163/5B20S72163_A.jpg P71 Xeon E1535 no GPU [fits in vertical slot on far right) https://download.lenovo.com/Images/Parts/01AV390/01AV390_A.jp...

The LCD part number is the 04W1544 which is what is called the FRU (field replacement unit).

I would only use the genuine Lenovo part and not a so called compatible part.

You could try the new SSD in the enclosure.

If you haven't already I would have a working backup just in case.

I would try another enclosure. I used https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T ... UTF8&psc=1

Yes, that is what I am suggesting. You may get a surprise too when making the call (800.426.7378) or requesting service online (www.lenovo.com/mtsa). Within the last couple of weeks there have been what tech support is calling IT issues at their repair depot and they are offering an upgrade to onsit...

Remove ram and SSD prior to repair.

Sorry but I don't know the answer to both those questions.

Hopefully someone else here can share their experience.

Brad

That 512Tb drive is awesome.

I would consider the purchase just for that.

Good luck!

I haven't pushed anything substantial with this new setup. Mainly only recovering the system to a new SSD and the many Lenovo and MS updates.

This P71 came with the 01AV344 but I installed a brand new 01AV344 for good measure. You probably don't want to have to replace it down the road.

The GPU is the FRU I referenced and its a separate PCB. The upgrade was a success. Like normal, with any ThinkPad new motherboard replacement, the model type and serial number have to be added. If they are not added there will be errors at startup. After that was complete I restored the system from ...

The GPU is on a card so just the GPU can be replaced without replacing the motherboard. I just replaced a P71 motherboard recently. This one had the GPU FRU 01AV353 nVidia Quadro P5000. There were only an additional handful of screws that need to be removed to replace the motherboard as opposed to j...

Have you tried holding down the shift key and then shutting down? In W10 that will turn off the rapid start feature on next start and allow access to boot functions. I notice on ThinkPads running W10 that on shutdown the power light will flash just before turn off. Then on next startup no matter wha...

The 540 uses the slim tip adapter.

So, I guess, no?

Back a generation to the T470s I use with one available slot and 4Gb on board is working with 36Gb with a 32Gb slotted. Remember the '90's when 1Mb was about $40? At that cost can anyone figure out how much 32Gb would be worth? Too many zeros for me.... Its like buying Amazon for $3 and change.... B...

Recently had a similar issue with a W530. Like RBS said I disabled the trackpad in the BIOS and only used the trackpoint. There was no longer an issue. When I replaced the keyboard though for an issue with one or two of the keys then re-enabled the trackpad in the BIOS just for the heck of it there ...

I worked with Edward (OP on linked topic) back in 2010 to remove the wifi card in his X61 using this. Back in 2010 I paid $19.99. More today but worth it for this issue.

The screws are soft aluminum with a very shallow head that is very easy to strip as you found out.

Worked nicely.

Brad

On a T430 holding the Fn button and tapping the space bar toggles backlight and then Thinklight.

Sorry to say it sounds like the motherboard has failed.

Brad

Welcome!

If this X270 still has warranty remaining if it was me I would call for service.

Brad

Sorry you are having trouble.

If you haven't already I would disconnect all USB connections then try again.

Brad

Welcome to the forum!

This thread is nearly 2 years old.

Happy ThinkPadding...

Brad

Well in the northeast at least there are quite a few forum members.
I hope to be available should a date be set.
