I'm using a Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i, I got it in 2022 to study because I could have the functionality of the Laptop and could use it to make notes or study. But Idk why there hasn't been year when this piece of c\*ap didn't have a issue.

As soon as my warranty was over In sept 23, In october I started experiencing a weird issue in which if I opened my laptop after "SHUTTING DOWN" for a while. It barely showed anything and the battery went to ZERO. I called lenovo they said replace the battery, but I'm a student I ain't got nothing, let it go once again, Event Viewer showed " System rebooted without shutting down cleanly". And I experienced it everyday until Jan 2024. Now that was gone, no battery issues and gave a decent SOT. Now here is the fun part as Nov 2024 came, the issues was back same bs, I shutdown and when I come back after a while opens normally has battery left goes black screen. and it happened once again this year. 

Now the 2025 issue, Normally the touch works fine, but when I rotate this to tablet mode, It works sometimes 30% MAYBE. Sometimes it shows a driver issue in device manager but that's gone now, It won't get fixed still. I took it to a service centre, they said wait till panel  stops working completely because to get to it we need to remove everything and we can't assure we'll be able to close it as good as the company did and if any issues arise because of it that's not our responsibility.

Now what is the purpose of this Post? There are 2

1) I'm planning to erase everything on the laptop so that hoping that it's just a bug and will get fixed. and I need our suggestions

2) To anyone who thinks of Buying a 2 in 1 , PLEASE DON'T. It'll be good for a year then it will just be same old laptop. Which you would have gotten something better at the same price but better specs.

TLDR : 

Got a Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i in 2022 for studying because of its 2-in-1 features. After the warranty ended (Sept 2023), it started having constant issues — battery dying after shutdown, random black screens, and “system rebooted without shutting down cleanly” errors. The problem vanished for a few months but came back in late 2024. Now in 2025, the touchscreen barely works in tablet mode, and service centers say they can’t fix it properly without risking more damage.  
I’m planning to **reset/erase everything** to see if it’s a software bug.  
**Advice:** Don’t buy 2-in-1 laptops — they’re great for a year, then turn into unreliable, overpriced regular laptops.  


I AM SICK OF THIS!!!!!
