I woke up in the morning and it was dead, from being unplugged all night. So I went to boot it up and it loaded up to the Lenovo screen like usual, except it took ages to load. Then a little timer thingy popped up as if it were loading, and I got a msg that said 'scanning for repair C: drive' or something. I have a picture that I'll attach. It did the scan which took several hours and finally loaded to my login screen. Once I was there though, it was as if my mouse and keypad wouldn't work. Almost like the screen was frozen except I know it wasn't cause the clock was changing time. So I restarted it and it did the same thing again. Over and over. An ice tried everything to get to my recovery menu (bios) but I can't get there.

Take the battery out, unplug from the mains and press the poower swithc for about 15-20 seconds. Then leave it for 20 minutes, and see if it will start if you only connect to the mains.

If not, repeat, but insert the battery and see if the battery charges normally. If it does, see if you can restart then. If not, you're in for an expensive repair from Lenovo.

I hope your backup is recent and in good order.
