So my primary Linux system (Tumbleweed) has seemed to have bit the dust.
Lenovo Thinkpad P14s Gen 1, built May 2021. 20Y1-S00C00
I had moved it to my primary desk in place of my work laptop and got about
a day and half use out of it and it halted during a Tumbleweed update. I
was in a hurry at the time when I noticed it stopping (Sunday evening) and
did not think a ton about it at the time. But it seems to not want to come
back up. When yesterday afternoon I got back to it I just thought it would
boot back up and I would have to back out an update, but no. At first it
stuck on the Lenovo splash screen, but now it will not display anything at
all. The fans do turn, however. I thought maybe I had a charging issue,
but I was plugged up to a good USB charger all night.
I will probably pull the bottom off of it later today and see if I see
anything obvious.
I did read on the internet that the integrated GPU in this line will
sometimes go bad and cause symptoms like this.
Any ideas are welcome.
