Lenovo IdeaPad S103 Netbook?
made in 2010 , now 8 years old.
it is S10-3 not s103. ok?
the value used and broken is $20 so is just not worth paying repairs, ever, here, but... I have so little information.
atom processor slug
1GB memory, tiny. and poor graphics. 1024
10.1 inch 10:6, 1024 x 600 pixel
it has HDD.
runs windows 7 starter edition, STILL? as new?
wont power on !
does that mean it is 100% silent, ear to back side of case?
the screen never once shows text or Lenovo logo's? ever.
what can be wrong, well lots. here they are based on AGE alone.
I do tests first but here is the sordid list.
1: that big battery is bad, now, never seen one last 8 years, not me.
get it out of there, and run on AC pack alone.
runs now? yes, BINGO battery no good,. (easy no?)
try new power pack for $8
2: if wont power on cold but if it overheated it will turn on if let cool. so did it cool and then turn on? PC can overheat ever clean out the 8+ years of lent inside? all vents clean.
does the fan inside spin and blow, when PC is dead and turned no
does the HDD spin and heard with ear against the case here the HDD spin turned on, if NO they you have power problem if both fan and HDD at dead silent. just sounds alone is a big clue.
this netbook has super quite fan, even under full stress it is very quite, so testing takes some skills here, for that, or just clean out the whole thing, 60C is max, processor heat, benchmarked by top company 8 years ago, 90C the processor self shuts it self down.
4: HDD dead? or silent and dead?
$12 each x 33 ( seems nobody wants to pay $100 to fix 12 bucks.
