I have Lenovo legion 5 2020 model, i5 10300h, GTX 1650ti
The problem is it doesn't boot when connected to charger, when connected to charger and i press power button the power light on the key lights up but no display, no fan spinning.
Then if I remove the charger it boots on battery and works normal for 15 to 30 mins then it freezes no response I have to hard reset by holding the power button.
I went to repair shop and they told me they have to replace the motherboard and it may take a month or two to get replacement and also the price is high they said it may take minimum 30k, I don't want to spend that much so
is there any way to repair it or it is only worth for scrap or can I sell it as whole or as parts
 
I reinstalled windows, updated gpu and all drivers, reconnected battery, swapped ram tried running on one slot, borrowed friend's SSD and tried booting windows, all ended in vain.
Battery health is 60wh battery by design but currently holding 50wh as reported by hwinfo
 
I would try more shops. It won't cost that much. He may be quoting 30k for board replacement and not repair.

It could be a simple fix or may need a core reflow.

Try disabling dedicated GPU. And only use with iGPU (since system boots with battery). (I think shops with DSO machine are more experienced )

This 2020 legion don't have option to disable dedicated graphics and use integrated graphics but can disable integrated and run only on dedicated using mux switch and i tried this too but it freezes,
I gave laptop to Lenovo service center in coimbatore they told to replace the motherboard so I gave to my frnd he took it to chennai Lenovo service center there they took a week and told the same,
I am 100km away from any city so can't able to find any good repair shop.
 
You are showing it to persons who are not experts in repair, only replace.

Take to a proper repair shop which is trusted. Preferably in metros. Check, double check that they know what they are doing.

Here in Mumbai, the idiots took to some place in Andheri which screwed up the laptops - an MSI GL63 and Thinkpad E14. Full write off.

Is there any website or guide to find genuine repair shop, I am afraid they might change original parts
