Hi @nemesiscameron ,
I don’t know Linux but if you don’t get a display when going into BIOS either (you said you tried pressing the Novo button to start the laptop) then there must be a motherboard problem.
How old is the laptop? Looking at the [https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/au/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ideapad-s-series-netbooks/s145-15iwl/documentation/doc_userguide|support page] for the laptop, it seems a recently released model.
If it is under 12 months get it fixed under the manufacturer’s warranty
