Lenovo confirms Legion Go issues after gamers report bricked devices

Lenovo says it is aware that some Legion Go owners are seeing devices fail to start after a software or BIOS-related issue. The company advises users to hold the power button longer and contact support if that does not work, following reports of expensive repair quotes for affected handhelds.

The episode highlights growing tension over who pays when firmware updates break consumer hardware. As handheld gaming PCs become more mainstream, vendors may face rising pressure to offer clearer support policies and free fixes for software-caused failures.
