Worked fine this morning. Get back home, plug it in, gives me a weird line on startup saying I'm using a battery that isn't original. Whatever. Try to tell it to start anyway.

Everytime I try to start it, I get the Lenovo logo, then it flashes

Reset System

And restarts.

What do?

First remove the battery and clean the contacts with canned air. Put it back in and try again.

If you still have the issue, your linux distro might no longer be compatible with your hardware. Try booting to linux from a USB from your BIOS and see if it boots. If it does, it means the Linux OS you have installed doesn't work with your hardware. You probably have to get rid of whatever updates installed since the last time you ran it.

Sounds like this.

It is booting just fine from USB.

I haven't installed any updates recently, what does this mean? Does this also mean I lose everything on the computer? Fuck, and Thanks for your help

Unless you have the harddrive encrypted, you should be able to access the files after you boot from the USB by looking for the other drive and looking through the files.

You are going to need someone who is better at Linux than me to help you troubleshoot. Also consider asking an AI.

Just because you didn't run the update doesn't mean that the laptop didn't do it for you.
