The motherboard in your Lenovo Ideapad Flex 4-1570 allows all of the different components to communicate, and if the motherboard fails, then the computer fails. Motherboards are generally unlikely to fail on their own, but are susceptible to water damage, falls, and power surges.
If your motherboard has failed, use this guide to replace it!
Before beginning, power off and unplug your device.
