S230U will not boot

S230U 2 years old: I upgraded to windows 10 installed all windows and Lenovo updates including bios. Verified machine worked, no problems.
I replaced the 500G HDD with a 1 TB SSD. Everything worked 5 days, including shut down and boot up. I Shut down using windows power button last night.
Today powered on, green led is on if ps is plugged in, red power light is on, fan comes on momentarily, screen never comes on. Tried charging with power for several hours, same symptoms. Tried unplugging ps then pushed reset, powered up same symptom.
Any ideas?

Re: S230U will not boot

Same problem, however I have been using a 500g solid state drive for a year so I think the Windows 10 "upgrade" may be the cause. Also tried using a boot disc with no success.

FYI I have had a problem in the past with the connection between the motherboard and the hard drive connector. This is a design flaw and/or manufacturing problem that caused a loose connection. Overall I believe the S230u is a POS.

Re: S230U will not boot

We've been talking about this in another thread. The Twist/s230u not booting. Turns out to be a bad mother board. I'm throwing mine in the trash and buying an Asus.
