To power on your Lenovo ThinkPad X1, simply press the power button.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
-
Location of the Power Button: The power button is typically located on the top or side of the ThinkPad X1, depending on the specific model. Look for a button with the universal power symbol (a circle with a line extending from the top).
-
Press and Release: Press the power button firmly and then release it. Don't hold it down for an extended period.
-
System Startup: The computer should begin the startup process. You'll likely see the Lenovo logo appear on the screen.
-
Power Button Indicator: The power button often has an indicator light that shows the system's status. According to the reference material, it might blink three times when the computer is initially connected to power. During normal operation, the light will likely be steadily lit or may have a different blinking pattern to indicate sleep mode or other states.
If your ThinkPad X1 doesn't power on after pressing the power button, consider these troubleshooting steps:
