T420s that no power on AC power but Powermanagement said current alternative is connected?

Hi, I hope someone can point me in the right direction with a problem I have with my Lenovo laptop.

I have a T420s (Win 7 ultimate) which has stopped working. When it is connected to Acre the led battery on the cover started to blink and stayed on but the battery was not charging, first thought was the known issues with the power manager and the windows, but when I changed the settings in the power manager that it does not have load. When disconecting the battery of the laptop was dead, he would go only with the battery connected, but the strange thing is it said that AC was connected but the system will not work on AC only? I tried a second card (also 65w 20v) but that made no difference. Meanwhile, the battery ran totally empty. Leaving unplugged for a few hours and then connect it to an electrical outlet, it gets power for 2 seconds and then dies again. It looks like a hardware problem? Any suggestions? Thanks for any help!

Well after 2 weeks of vacation, leaving the T420s unplugged with the battery I plugged it and it started to load. When it has been completely reloaded I tried starting, did not start, button / stop flashes once and then died. Disconnected and removed the battery, not a discharge of static electricity (power button 10 times, then holdiing for 30 sec) battery, plugged in and it starts!

It works fine now since yesterday.

Cause?

Thanks for the tips!

    Have you tried a different monitor on the PC, it has been connected to or check the laptop video output works with a different monitor?

    Have you tried a different VGA cable that was already with the monitor?

    If you've tried this without success... then the monitor decided that she needs to be replaced.

    Sorry to bear bad news.

  • Help! Turn on 10 power but nothing on the screen!

    I got my switch 10 during about 6 weeks. First month was great. Then he started to get stuck in the mode 'sleep', but on mine, I realized I just need to hold the power button for 10 seconds to turn off or would be put on normally when I press the power button again. We were happy about that, he has worked steadily.

    Thus, from yesterday: the battery was dead the day before. I left that it plugged in all night and day, then last night, I unplugged and tried to power it back it up. The backlight comes on - and sometimes it stays on, sometimes it goes off after about 10 seconds - but nothing happens. I left it on with the backlight all the night night LAST to drain the battery again. This morning, he was off, I plugged it in, same problem, no change.

    I tried the button power + down / volume; Alt + F10; the reset button seems to do nothing; I have also seen a suggestion of F2 + F9 + F10 + entry that also did not work.

    I can tell when the device is activated because the windows at the bottom of the screen button starts to vibrate when they are hit. Right now he's connected with the fixed Orange light in the power button.

    I am afraid that the thing is just gone, but is there anything ELSE I can do? It was a refurb, so there is no guarantee. The seller has provided a 30 day warranty. Ha ha.

    Thank you...

    OK a tower more: with PC switched off, hold down the F2 key on the keyboard, then hold the power button until something happens.

    After that, I'm out of conjecture.

    Hi moozer_890


    1 during how long have you had this problem?
    2. have you updated display drivers installed on the computer?

     

    Method 1 :
    To resolve the problem, you can see if the uninstall and reinstall then the display driver-
    Also check if you have any exclamation point or cross the marks on the sides of display devices listed in Device Manager.

    a. click Startand then click Control Panel.

    b. click system and Maintenance, click Systemand then click on Device Manager.
    Note If Control Panel is in Classic view, double-click System, and then click Device Manager.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

    c. in the Manager device, expand display driver, display devices, right-click and then click on Properties and on the driver tab, click Uninstall.

    d. When you are prompted to confirm that you want to remove the device, click OK.

    e. restart the computer.

    After the computer restarts, the drivers will be installed automatically.

    Method 2:

    If the problem persists I suggest you to check if you install the latest updated driver on the manufacturer's Web site, then check.

    You can also check out the link below and check if you get an updated video driver. You can install updates in optional updatesvideo card driver.

  • When I turn on the pc. the fan comes power, but not start

    When I turn on the pc. the fan turns on for food and I see it on the heatsink to the processor, but it does not go beyond the orange light on the power switch...

    It seems that the switch does not work, but in the past, when I turn on the pc, it starts without pressing this button.

    Don't you think that it is a bad switch or a bad power supply. I'm not even stand up to any guest system or start

    Hello

    Thank you for your help.

    Its always a good day when you will learn something new.

    I have removed the CMOS battery for a few hours and replaced by a new.

    The PC started as usual

    I guess that the boat will have to wait a little longer for a new anchor point

    Thanks again

  • Blue screen that says: "power driver error."

    I started having trouble with my computer (HP laptop) yesterday. It was Frost, which he's never done before. Sometimes it freezes completely and even the mouse doesn't move, but more often it freezes when I am trying to open something and he maintains that thinking and it is said that the program has stopped responding, but I can't move between programs and the cntrl + alt + delete won't allow me to close the program. So basically, when this happens I can only move my mouse and the only choice is to shut it down manually or remove the battery. I rebooted in safe mode automatically several times and it seems to work fine. I tried to see if it's a specific program, but more often then not it seems to be freezing when I try to open objects of type windows. For example, the control panel or even a folder of papers on my desk. I did some 'number of system recovery' and it doesn't seem to help. I'm afraid, it may be something to do with my diet, but I honestly only know the basics of operation and maintenance, so I'm not an expert. I've been out of the country in the last 3 months and I will not return to the States for another 12 days, so I don't know how long it will be until I can find someone that makes my phone look, so any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

    Hi Wlscott6,

    What is the full error message that you receive?

    Given that the problem does not persist in safe mode, the problem may be caused by certain third-party applications or drivers present on the computer.

    Step 1: Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) readers, etc...) Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.

    If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue.  Then get any drivers\software update for the device.

    Step 2: The computer in the boot and a test to see if the problem persists

    Follow step 1 in the link below,

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

    After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

    Important: n ' forget not the computer to start normal follow step 7 in the link.

    Thanks and greetings
