Boy is a power issue!
My rats nest of power cables for all my power adapters for all the
notebooks on my desk...
The adapter for the new notebook was unplugged and I was doing the
install off of battery. So just before the install finished, it shut
off from not enough electrons. And of course booting again in any shape
of form would not get the system working.
How did I figure this out? I bought another x140e on ebay and booted
the live CD. First thing I noticed on the status area was I was running
on battery!
Oy vey.
Really got to get familiar with the various LEDs on the 140, different
from the 121 that I have been using for lots of years.
So off I go to do the install over, as it did not finish.

Try to boot on battery only (w/o adapter) and on AC adapter only (w/o battery). May be this is a power issue since it is able to start booting.
Memory problems usually lead to BSOD, not power off.

I am very concerned that the Lenovo x131e is bricked.
I put in the Win10 HD. It starts to boot and the windows logo starts
spinning and the system promptly shuts down.
It may be memory, and I will have to see if I have any matching memory
here (see if it uses the same as my x120e which I have a number of).
I am concerned this happened at the step where the EFI is updated. This
happened to my back in maybe F21? There the system would still boot of
LiveCD and we were able to make manual changes for the booting. But
burned once...
Any recommendations on what I can do with this system? I will check on
memory, but otherwise, HELP. Please?
thanks

Do you know what is your gpu unit?
Best is if you download liveDVD and try. You like xfce -->
https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/30/Spins/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Xfce-Live-x86_64-30-1.2.iso
or torrent
https://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents/Fedora-Xfce-Live-x86_64-30.torrent
Once you boot up LiveDVD xfce open terminal and run this command lspci
| grep -i --color 'vga\|3d\|2d'.Share with us findings if you before
that not successfully install fedora spin xfce on your laptop.

I have a refurbished x131e. I pulled the 320G HD and installed an
empty
500GB SSD. From a USB SD I started the x64 NetInstall.
In the install process, I set my location (Detroit), changed the
host
name, left the drive setup as default. Then I selected a bunch of
software. I selected the Xfce desktop and a number of items on the
right. About 1500 files and something like 1.23GB download. I
proceeded with the install and set the root password and created my
user ID.
The download completed as did the rpms installs. The kernel build I
think completed. My attention was elsewhere when the system just
turned
off.
Bip.
Off.
I pulled the USB CD and powered up. It shut right off.
I powered up again and the kernel selection menu shows for a bit and
seems to select the first one. Then it shuts off.
I have gone through this 2 'step' power up attempt twice.
Now what? Anyone aware of anything like this? Should I try the
install
again, but just pretty much basic Xfce?
Should I download a LiveCD (is there an Xfce one?) and see what I see
on
about the system and status of the drive?
thanks
