I’ve got a Lenovo Flex 5 that I bought in August 2018, well it has quit working. No idea why. It is strictly for Real Estate. Of course it quits when I’ve got $1.3m in escrow and listing another home this weekend. It’s the only computer in our house that I can use as the other computer is wife’s work computer. Is Geek Squad any good? Or should I just spend the coin and buy a new one? Really don’t want to have to deal with the BS of setting up a computer again.

Lord what did you do to it??

Take the battery completely out and leave it out. Plug it into the wall charger with battery out and turn it on.

I’m still up. I pissed on it, figured that’s what resets Josh. If it ain’t working tomorrow, I’ll pour coffee on it, that works for me.

Mine went out on me. I got a new HP Laptop at Best Buy for under $300. They have all gotten more affordable just like TVs.

Those cheapy laptops tend to have slow processors and run low on memory after a while and start running slow.

I used to buy those but figured out it was a waste of money in the long run, better to spend a little coin and have them last.

Had similar problem a couple months ago, geek squad’s timeline was that they couldn’t look at it for a week. I bought a new one. Costco was cheapest option. All of our company docs and email are web based (Dropbox) so I can access from my phone or iPad if needed.

One trick that works about 50% of the time is to hold down both the power button and reset button at the same time
for about 30 seconds. that's 50% of the time, not always. The reset button is little curved arrow normally above the
number 4 key at the top of laptop.
