Hi Dan, 1. When you turn it on are you saying it does not post (the post screen is usually the Lenovo logo). 2. Does the computer show the list of Fedora kernels. Should be 4 + recovery. 3. When you boot live CD memory stick, does it boot.
>From the start I would think that there is something wrong with your boot block or that GRUB is corrupted. Suggestion, on your other computer download the GParted LiveCD (https://gparted.org/livecd.php) and burn a USB stick. Then run GParted to see if you can see your data. Also, GParted is included on the Ubuntu LiveCD. I had a similar thing happen on my laptop. Take a look at some of the grub rescue videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJTGpvZO8Oc Our next installfest is on Saturday March 14th.
