1. Check for a bad battery. This is the most common problem for mobile devices like tablets, laptops and the like. Since the battery must be fully functional (at OEM specified outputs for volatage and current) for the device to operate (manuf. designed it that way to protect the circuits years ago), it is the most likley culprit. (FYI: I have two Lenovo laptops - one under the old IBM Thinkpad label and one newer Chinese Lenovo).
* Replace the battery with a new OEM replacement as I do not recommend after-market generics or refurbished)
2. Try a different power supply. Check the OUTPUT requirements on your existing power adapter (usually 5v) and locate a another adapter to see if it is the AC adapter. The only real issue you need to worry about is the OUTPUT voltage must match the original adapter to avoid damage. The current does not matter since the device determines how much current in mAH it requires so just concern yourself with the right OUTPUT VOLTAGE and the jack plug makes a proper fit. If a spare adapter is not available (Radio Shack sells a variable voltage adapter with a variety of interface plugs and they work very well for these issues) then try using the Lenovo adapter on another device. (I am assuming you do not have electronics tools or test bench and need to troubleshoot the old school way)
* Replace the dead adapter ensuring that the VOLTs are the same on OUTPUT as the original and the interface plugjack is the same size.
If, after doing the above two simple steps, consider that the MB (mainboard - motherboard) power supply is toast and the laptop is good for recycling only
In order to assist I need to know what the Lenovo model is; what you have done to troubleshoot and the outcomes.
Generally these types of issues are due to defective power supplies or batteries, as Lenovos and most laptops require batteries to be in working order to function. The problem can be in the keyboard, the battery unit, the onboard power supply so if you can provide a bit more detailed info I may be able to help.
What is the model number of the monitor? Of course you should know that the back light inverter uses high frequency and it may be beyond the range of your meter
Go to the manufacturers website. You will need to look for the correct model number. The only sure way to know the HDD model is to look at the drive itself. And the only sure way to know the exact original spec is to ask the manufacturer and supply them with the serial number.
A) What is the computer manufacturer name, and model number, OR; what is the motherboard manufacturer name, and model number?
B) What is the manufacturer and model number of the graphics card?
C) Am I to understand you replaced the Power Supply? 1) Manufacturer name and model number of it also. 2) Is it new, or pulled from another KNOWN to be working computer?
D) What was the original problem?
Why? 1) Want to make sure it's the correct graphics card for the motherboard.
2) Want to make sure you have enough power out of that Power Supply, to not only support the graphics card, but the rest of the computer system also.
Motherboard, Ram Memory, Harddrive, Optical Drive/s, Fans, etc.
3) Need to know about the original problem, to help determine the solution.
