ThinkPad Edge not charging WITHOUT REASON APPARENTE

Hello! I have a ThinkPad Edge 15. He had a problem loading the day I bought it. The people I bought it returned to IBM/Lenovo that apparently tight area where the charge lead goes to the PC? (I'm obviously not PC literate, sorry!)

That has NOT fixed the problem, so when I got my laptop back, I called LEnovo, they sent me a new battery (even though I told them the "Power Manager", said the battery was in good condition) which did nothing. Then they sent me a new charge lead, once again - nada. They sent me a box to return the laptop to them. As I find how to put the laptop in the box, I looked more @ my PC and this is; shone the light that tells you if he is in charge! I never returned - it was last August.

Last night. I looked @ the loading icon; 15%, no charging current!" Oops! Oh dear, not again! I went to the power manager, everything is fine. All my connections, same verified. Darn it all. I have a business. that is 90% SEARCH! MY PC DIED on me. I called Lenovo, they said - send it us.

I still had the box since last summer, then he is out. I left the laptop plugged in my thoughts only, something might happen like last summer! HA! This morning I find how to pack, I watch over @ cell phone & guess WHAT! He has been in charge, the light was on. I lit and has right on this Forum to ask questions of you wise and knowledgeable people!

First: I did what I thought, it was a decent amount of research before buying this laptop Lenovo. (I thought I was buying a ThinkPad Edge E520 - but that's another story) I really thought that "Lenovo" products have a good reputation. Yet, when on this Forum, I read a lot of posts on the problems of charging with the Edge series. What is everything? I buy another computer soon, but is reluctant to even look @ a Lenovo. If I had a case opened last night, I would have been freaked out! This is not acceptable! Lenovo has a good rep, or not?

Second: What happens after my warranty expires in five months and it is ALWAYS the case? Is this PC a lemon? I've had a few laptops, and I have NEVER had anything that gave me as much hassle as this! My friend as a 15 years old song VAIO, which must NEVER, not once seen any problems! It has Windows Vista, same! 15 YEARS, not a single bump on the road! I got this SEVEN month, and if you add up, it's more than once a month! ARRGGGHHHHH!

Third: If someone can make a good argument for staying with Lenovo; I need to look @ your desktop all-in-one or small. I used to say 'battery' has been my need to #1 to a computer, but now I realize that the 'reliability' is my requirement #1!  Maybe, a PC will be fast, one will be reliable? Sounds like a plan to me!

I apologize for the length, and for my "evacuation." I hope that I didn't say anything, I should not have? TYVM for me to be on this Forum. You guys ROCK!

Hi eefacm,

So whenever you're ready to put the computer in the box, it starts to load, it seems that it is really a physical connection problem.

It looks as if there is a loose wire, something may have slipped out of place and could be postponed.

I recommend that you go ahead and send in your unit, regardless of whether it begins to load before you place it in the box.

There is none of course say until you send it and let the repair depot look at him.

  • Edge Code crashes without reason

    So. Edge code ran the live preview several times, and now the live preview crashes on 'connection '. I reinstalled edge Code and killed chrome in the Task Manager to restart, nothing helps. Does anyone have info to fix this stupidity?

    This is total crap.

    It is now defective due to a change in API with Chrome v34. We are currently working on a change which will be published shortly. She will work in Chrome v33, but I don't know if there's a way to go back.

    FYI, edge Code is based on media (http://brackets.io) that has the fix for this problem, so you can also try with strips.

  • Problem installing Windows 7 on Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 665D817

    Hello

    I have a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 665D817 without an operating system and be able to install Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (msdnaa version). I actually had the Thinkpad even before and managed to install Windows 7 withouth any problems.

    After starting from the USB stick during installation without hard drive is located. To this end, I insert a second usb key with drivers for AMD AHCI Controller Device Driver for Windows 7 and select the directory of win7 64 bit. A driver to install is offered, but after installing it, it seems as if nothing happened. No disk is detected, and I can't continue the installation.

    thx for the help

    (by the way, the proposed here spell check does not recognize "Lenovo" - * lol *)

    I saw this happen occasionally during installation via the USB port. In my experience, it is when a USB 3.0 or eSATA/USB combo port is present. It does not occur if start you it from a Windows existing, nor happens during the installation of optical media.

    There is something that includes ImageX that you can use to install Windows, but that gets a little complicated.

  • ThinkPad Edge 14 does not charge

    I have a new problem with my laptop (ThinkPad Edge 14; 0578A 25) where the battery is.

    I have not had a problem until recently, and I don't know what caused it.  Here are the changes that have occurred since the last time I know, he has been in charge properly.

    Before noticing not battery

    1. Update all drivers Lenovo and your software by "Lenovo - update and drivers" in the control panel
    2. Noticed the new 'battery Firmware Update' in the power manager which was not in the old version.
    3. Utility of BFU said that it is up to date

    After noticing the charging of the battery has not been

    1. Uninstalled Power Manager and driver Power Manager, reset the management power and rebooted the computer
    2. Still not charging the battery, so I downloaded the wrapper battery to update the firmware on the Lenovo site and ran it (says firmware is up to date as well)
    3. Reinstalled Power Manager and driver Power Manager
    4. A ran a battery meter reset, but he would not be executed (battery was not load to full capacity, so my problem again)

    I don't know what else to try or where to go from here.  Is there anything I can try, maybe a way to reload the firmware to try to reset.  I don't want to have to buy a new battery when it was working fine until I used a Lenovo utility that obviously broke something.

    I HAVE THE SOLUTION!

    I turned off my antennas to my resources and find the solution.

    Appearantly, when everything, updated the driver loaded before Microsoft update is not compatible with the new updates.  So, here's what you do to remedy this:

    1. Turning off the computer completely (Shut Down, no standby or Hibernate
    2. Remove the levels, leaving only the AC adapter for power.
    3. Starting in "safe" mode
    4. Open Device Manager and expand the section of the battery.
    5. Remove all the drivers except the power adapter (right click and click on uninstall)
    6. Shut down the computer.
    7. Reinstall the battery, leaving the power adapter plugged as well upward.
    8. Turning on the computer as usual.

    Marvel at the fact that the battery is in charge now.

  • Battery not charging - Thinkpad E531

    Dear Lenovo,

    I have been using Windows 7, but I recently changed to Windows 8.1.

    In Win7, I was able to install and use the Lenovo power management software, and I changed the threshold of 40 to 50% battery.

    After I installed Win8.1, I realized there is not any software for Windows 8.1 E531 power management, so I can't charge my battery above 50%.

    It seems that power management software makes somekind of related material change or do not remember my previous settings which I did in Win7.

    How can I change the thresholds without reinstalling windows 7 and power management software?

    Could you give me a link to a management software can be used for Windows 8.1 E531 Thinkpad power (which is 100% working)?

    Another solution?

    Thank you!

    Hi Tray86,

    Welcome to Lenovo Community!

    According to the request, we understand that you are facing problem with the battery not charging over 50% on your ThinkPad E531.

    You must change the setting of control dependence of Lenovo to always fully charged, please visit the link below and follow the steps from that.

  • Edge 14. Battery not charging after the Power Manager Update to 6.07 and resetting the battery.

    My battery will do not, at all.

    The gauge was obviously wrong to happen very quickly after reaching 20%, so I've updated the power to 6.07 Manager and then perform a reset of the battery (I'm sure it's in that order, perhaps first reset).

    After resetting the battery charged to 100% back, but as it is discharged, the charger was not.  With the power, the battery is located just at the same percentage and descends very slowly (about 1% in two days).

    I tried to play with the parameters of maintenance battery, the meter then said that charge will begin less than 80%, but the battery is already on the 20%.  I checked the firmware in the Manager of power and with the stand-alone program but apparently no update is necessary and T 42, 4755 FRU part number is not listed as needing an update.

    Current version of the firmware: 3f98-0004-0160-0130

    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Power Manager.  The power windows manager also seems to have the same problem.

    I just baught the laptop last year, is a month out of warranty; I need it to be portable to work.

    I thought about buying a new battery, but it seems to be the charge function is not working, and the battery was working fine before the reset and the update, apart from the loss of certain abilities and the inaccurate meter.

    Hi NINE.

    Thank you for hospitality, the effort and the answer.  Greatly appreciated.

    I tried this and just tried to reinstall the firmware of power management.

    I finally solved the problem after reading this post by:

    1 shut down the computer.

    2. unplug the power supply cord (and everything - usb and monitor cables).

    3 remove the battery.

    4. play with the spring on the battery switches and shake threatening (probably unnecessary, but you may want to give it 10 to 15 seconds on the laptop).

    5. replace the battery in the laptop.

    6. connect the power cord.

    7. start the laptop and connect.

    Thanks again.

  • Edge 15 X 301 battery does not charge

    Browsing the forums seems to be a fairly common problem.  I hope I can find help here because I personally am really tired/frustrated a recent experience of Lenove service but that's another story and I'm here to try to resolve a problem of battery without spending a penny more on this laptop I'm seriously regretting buying.

    Question: My battery discharge (up to 38%), but does not charge.  Status, as in the myriad of other posts on this topic, is "plugged in, not charging".  Power Manager says battery is in good condition and there is no obvious reason I can telI.  My system tells me I have the latest firmware (0002-0004-4216-00C 0) and software (v6.32 Power Manager).  This just started happening a few days ago.  I called guarantee help and they told me they couldn't help me because I was out of warranty - their advice to download all the latest and greatest software and good luck.  "We refer to service centers in the cases where it's a hardware problem... ».

    As I said earlier, I did put more money in this laptop and if that ends up being a hardware problem (no obvious signs of damage not present whatsoever) I'll probably put this lemon on ebay and I hope make $100 and away from Lenovo all together.  Everything has been a terrible experience.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I have the same problem on TWO computers 15 laptops on board. Periodically the battery stops charging a the only way out is to turn it off, remove the battery and press on & press and hold power for about 30 years. Plug the battery in, power cable and the power upward and it works very well - for a few days/weeks. Then the round, there it is again.

    everything is up to date and I'm under pw6.32. I think that the problem started with the latest bios BUT not sure.

    Turn on Lenova fix of this problem.

  • my account has been temporarily blocked without reason in December and I can not even access

    OK, so in December, my old account was temp blocked without reason, when I didn't play the call of duty with my uncle and his friends. two days later is when it happened. I tried to contact support several times and they always say they can't discuss why it was blocked or when it will be unlocked. Only one, that I talked to sent me here and the rest ignore me and close my support requests without answering. I do not understand why I am blocked nearly 3 years of being a good sport. I swear, when you kill me and when they start talking about the trash I cut the. was still almost 4 months of gold left, which will not be refunded. The main reason I have my account is to play with friends and family who I don't get to see because we are in different States, and it gives us a way to always play things together. Can someone help me please. PS This is my all microsoft account that is blocked not only on xbox.

    If Microsoft has said they cannot discuss, what makes you think we can do something? This is a user forum.

    Hi, LaithAlwash

    If the camera is turned on in the BIOS, but it is not visible in the Device Manager, then I think that the unit is disconnected from the motherboard of the computer, probably because of a loose wire. This can only be fixed by opening the system and checking the connection. If your system is under warranty, I would recommend taking it to a service center, if possible. Unfortunately, the only service center in Iraq lies in Baghdad, then you may or may not be able to access it. In any case, their information is listed below.

    Bought 57Y4488 which are earphones thinkPad.

    When it is plugged into a socket of headset ThinkPad Edge that the microphone does not work.

    Works very well if connected to a ThinkPad SL410.

    Tried with two different sets of ThinkPad earphones and two of the various ThinkPad Edge laptops. Unfortunately, I bought my headphones over a month so there cannot send their return.

    I was able to make them work if I plug it into a logitech usb connector.

    I don't know if the problem is the conector on the earphones or headphones on the ThinkPad Edge connector.

  • Powered USB not charging

    Hi, I just joined this forum after buying e420 and find some problems with it. Not a very pleasant change of Tecra, I must admit.

    Anyway, USB powered laptop recharges very well when the power is on, but it will fail to load when the laptop is turned off. I saw a great advantage of having one of them, but his does not work for some reason any. Is a special driver required? I've updated the laptop from Lenovo drivers, which changed nothing.

    Also, when I have my smartphone connected, the e420 not start, or rather to load the system, is this normal? Only the fan runs at full and system seems to be suspended...

    Thanks for the suggestions

    Re USB charging, you may need to set the BIOS and power management options.  Take a look at page 117 of the User Guide:
