Had a technical issue with a laptop purchased on eBay. I followed troubleshooting suggestions and it’s resolved. What does this issue tell me about the health of my laptop. Should I attempt to return?

Hi, all. I purchased a new Lenovo flex 5 off of ebay (Ryzen 5 5500U, 16gb ram, onboard Radeon graphics). After initial windows set up, a few quick software downloads, and checking functionality, I let it sit to charge. Upon coming back to it, I couldn’t get it to wake up or power down.

There’s a pulsing led on the power button that indicated that it was asleep. Led indicator lights on the power cable indicated that the battery was charged. But no button would wake it up. And holding down the power button didn’t do anything. Troubleshooting led me to allow the battery to drain fully, which I did. After charging, it powered on. And it successfully wakes.

I read that these lenovo’s have a lot of these types of issues. I wonder what this should tell me about this laptop (is it something likely to happen again; Will there be other issues) and weather I should follow through with a return.

Any help would be appreciated.
