Do not open or press on it. Set damaged accessories aside. Do not open mains adapters or force connectors. Do not erase, reset, flash firmware or bypass a lock as a default diagnostic step. OUTCOMES Bluetooth stages recorded: Discovery, pairing and the intended function worked. - Keep the accessory category and stage results. - Retain intermittent reconnect events if they recur. Review the accessory’s app route: Pairing succeeded but the intended function did not. - Check the app’s selected audio/input device. - Share paired-versus-functional status with the accessory vendor. Confirm accessory discovery: The accessory did not appear in the observed discovery condition. - Confirm its charge and documented discovery mode with its vendor. - Share any second-accessory comparison with Lenovo. Ask about Bluetooth controls: The Windows radio control is missing or managed. - Provide Windows version and control visibility to Lenovo/IT. - Use official support rather than an unverified driver installer. Share the failed pairing stage: The intended accessory was discovered but pairing failed. - Provide discovery and pairing results without PINs. - Include another owned accessory result if available. Keep the unanswered checks visible: Radio availability, discovery, pairing or functional result is unknown. - Identify the last completed Bluetooth stage. - Share accessory category and unavailable comparisons without pairing codes. - Keep unperformed conditions marked Not tested. Ask the provider to confirm these before further changes. Stop the powered checks: Stop using or charging damaged equipment. Keep away from hot or smoking equipment; obtain emergency help for an immediate fire risk. Arrange manufacturer guidance before handling or transport. - Tell Lenovo or your IT team about the visible damage before arranging transport. - Identify the last completed Bluetooth stage. - Do not open the case, remove the battery, press a lifted surface, or continue a test to complete this record.
