Battery IdeaPad Z510 problem

Hello everyone,

Last week, I installed 10 64-bit Windows on my laptop (Ideapad z510).

The first time my laptop is suddenly turned off, but the battery was far from empty according to windows. When I tried to start again it appeared that the battery was empty.

I noticed that the percentage that windows reports is incorrect. After 2 hours without power my battery was normally about 30%. Now, it was still above 90%.

I have installed power manager and I use the balanced profile.

Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?

In response to customer relationships of unexpected problems with the performance of the batteries portable Z500 and Z510, Lenovo made an update of the firmware of battery available via download on the Lenovo Forums.

  • BATTERY LENOVO IDEAPAD Z510 PROBLEM

    I bought Z510 a year back, in this short time I am facing battery problem. Battery won't charge and the system to keep plugged in a State with each use.

    I'm a home user and use the laptop for a limited time. I don't understand why lenova did not provide a removable battery that can be changed by the user only.

    Now new battery is not available on the market, also that Lenova simply made it their responsibility saying laptop in not less than warranty.

    I ask Lenovo go to analysis of root causes of this problem that hundreds of people face the same problem in this model.

    Hope Lenovo would provide some software to assist the problem or at least to give the details of the service provider where the batteries can be repaired or replaced.

  • Battery Lenovo Z510 problem

    Greetings! I have a Lenovo Z510 8 GB Ram, Core i7, 1 TB hdd, I bought less than a year ago. Off late I've known major battery issues. He started with the laptop stopping randomly without warning, even if there is a life on the left, for example. PCT of 90 or more. This worsened when the laptop did not start at all, until I plugged in the charger. The only way I can now exploit the laptop is connecting to the charger, but again, the battery remains at 0 of the pct, does not load. The battery light continues to flash red, also, I used a BatteryInfoView application to analyze it, and it still says battery reached 83 percent of its original capacity, however, I get a message every time at startup saying the battery is low and needs to be replaced. What can I do about it? Thank you.

  • [SOLVED] Energy Win8.1 (Ideapad Z510) Manager

    Hello

    I am a new user of Lenovo (Ideapad Z510) with Win 8.1 and I have problems with a feature in Energy Manager (installed original Lenovo disk).

    In the settings menu, there is a function "zoom to screen." By using this feature, you should be able to enlarge and reduce the size of menus and icons using Fn + and Fn - buttons. I tried it and all my menus have become bigger, and I can't go back... Whenever I have press Fn - it just sort of plant. A few pictures to see the problem:

    (Sorry, that the menu is in Hungarian)

    (1) some features

    Link to photo

    (2) after pressing Fn - icon Manager duplicates the energy and all the bar becomes strange

    (3) all menus (right-click right, or even at the office) became huge

    Link to photo

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Note of the moderator; image (s) converted into programming on display images in Forums

    Oh, it seems that it is now resolved. If, instead of using the cursor (it has been on the smallest) I went from police in the menu below from 11 to 10, and now it seems fine. I tried to solve the problem with the cursor before, but have not thought to decrease the font size.

  • How to install W8 in Mode for Lenovo Ideapad Z510 UEFI?

    Hello world

    I've been struggling with the w8 installation on my laptop Ideapad z510 in UEFI mode, but not I could succeed it or me I found something that might help. I will explain clearly the case.

    Point 1:
    As I understand it, for successful installation in UEFI format w8, we need choose the mode of 'First UEFI"from the Boot Menu in the BIOS. Then, the source of the shoe must be specified to identify the rigid path to documents to be loaded so that the new OS could be installed correctly.

    Pharmacodependance1:
    It is possible to choose UEFI boot mode first, but it is not possible to choose the USB for UEFI boot path in this case, which does not allow to succeed a UEFI boot to your computer. You cannot reach the DVD or USB, the installation files are, and start the installation process.

    Point2:

    If we consider the first case, you must choose the Legacy Support of your computer startup mode and achieve the USB or DVD drive to install the new operating system on the computer.

    Problem2:
    To succeed the UEFI mode when the computer starts, you should see 4 different partitions on your drive to the point of disc selection, if you choose the disk you install your operating system. However, when you select the Legacy Support in BIOS mode, the disk partition is limited to 2 in my case, that are:

    • Main drive
    • Reserved system (350 MB)

    That is why, when I continue the installation, the OS is installed on the traditional way. After installation, when I go into the BIOS to choose the UEFI boot mode for mode, the laptop checks some network connections and said

    • EFI network failure 0 for IPv4
    • EFI network failure 0 for IPv6

    respectively.

    So, advice, aid, ideas and suggestions are gladly welcome to overcome this problem. Could you please help me?

    PS: Please don't say that "you can't install because your computer does not support", because I have received computer technical service and a W8 version has been installed in UEFI mode. However, I deleted to install W8 pro.

    Greetings,

    Okan

    First of all, your bootable USB key must be created in the UEFI. Just google and you will find solutions.

    You can install W8 mode UEFI. Just allow to boot from USB in BIOS, select Exit Saving changes and restart.

    I think it's your basic problem. Let me know if you have already done this and still having the problem.

  • How to invert the fn keys in ideapad z510

    Hello

    I recently bought a lenovo ideapad z510 and I have to press fn in order to use the f1 - f12 keys. Is there a way to change this trend so that I don't need to press fn to use the f1 to f12 keys?

    Hi moving.

    Welcome to the Community Forums of Lenovo!

    Can you try to go to BIOS by pressing F2 when you power on the system

    Once inside the BIOS look for an option that says mode HOTKEY or hotkey, should be under the configuration tab.

    change this option and must reverse the use of the FN on your system.

    (Remember to press F10 once your done to save the changes you made.

    If the hot key mode is not available in BIOS, you may have to wait or consult on the download site of the Lenovo Support for BIOS updates

    Hope this helps

    See you soon!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry PRIV battery drain & heating problem

    Hello Blackberry, team

    I bought PRIVATE released last week from classic BB. PRIV has severe heating and battery especially drainage problem while loading and between 100% and 40% of battery (drains 60%) in 1-2 hours.

    Note that I do not use heavy duty applications and it heats up even when kept or wait (especially during loading).

    My Apps are up to date

    Operating system is up to date

    I have restored several times, but still have the same question (even if no other apps are installed).

    Question: Is it a solution to this? BlackBerry is working on it or just forget it and move on to other brands?

    Finally and above all, I'm on Blackberry for the past 12 years... I really hope they take their clients seriously around the world.

    Hey parthz8,

    Sometimes it happened while the load when I got 5.1.1 but now with Android M 6.0 seems to be fixed.

    What I was doing when it was happening, it is to reset the phone with the power button for 10 seconds while it was still connected to the charger. Sometimes a couple of reset is necessary

  • BlackBerry Smartphones "BOLD" battery draining - overheating problems

    Hi all

    I'm new here I have BlackBerry for almost 2 years (curve 3000) and I was really happy with it (no problems) then I bought "BOLD" Saturday and has exhausted the battery - overheating problems! I downloaded the new software from T-Mobile Croatia site (they have one last but which did not help) after recharging and stay all night, he went flat within 6-7 hours so I went today (Monday) and they swapped the device for me, now I'm waiting to see what will happen. I have 4 questions:

    1 can I download new software version of the device from the BlackBerry site that even I bought in Croatia from T-Mobile and which will have consequences on the device? If yes what are they?

    2. what causes this battery drain - overheating problems and how they can be stopped?

    3. is Facebook app in conflict with "BOLD"? Yes I have it on mine.

    4 are all the other apps in conflict with it, i.e. Windows Live Messenger because I have too much that one on it?

    Thanks in advance!

    1. no consequence... the latest version of the "BOLD" OS device is located here:

    http://www.BlackBerryForums.com/General-9000-series-discussion-bold/194263-OS-9000-bold-4-6-0-477-4-...

    2 could be a number of issues, several. You have 3G enabled on your "BOLD", on the one hand, (manage connections > Mobile Network Options?, and you have a 3 G with Tmobile Croatia network?) I know not flippant, you could ask that. If your device is constantly looking for a 3 G network and not finding what will cause the big battery drain.

    Check your applications running in the background. There are usually four or five applications that will be always running (Messages, Call Logs/phone, BlackBerry Messenger, home screen and the browser; there are others such as BeamBerry and alarms which will run also). Ensure that the browser is NOT on an active Web page (must return the bookmarks page only). Close all other applications that do not need to be running (the camera or a game you were playing or Google Maps).

    3 No.The FB app is developed by RIM.

    4. What do you mean 'in conflict '?

  • IdeaPad S205 battery charge no problem

    Hello, I have a Lenovo IdeaPad S205 and met with some difficulties. The charger has recently stopped working and I bought a replacement - the original charger has a 20V power, whereas the replacement 19V power. However, I don't think it would make a difference. That being said, when I plugged in the charger, it says "plugged in, not load." I took the battery and put it again, in as I had a similar problem before, and making it fixed. The system remained on while the battery was out, and I noticed the battery percentage is not down while this replacement is plugged. In addition, the original now seems to do the same thing - "plugged in, not load." Can anyone offer any assistance?

    Hi Ben_R,

    It's weird. Can try you to:

    1 turn on the computer with just the AC adapter and loading Windows to the top, slide the battery and observe.

    2. turn off the machine with the inserted battery. When the machine is turned off, plug the AC adapter and see if the battery is charged.
