Battery charges for 20 seconds , then stops. Lenovo yoga 3

My battery started having sudden drains when in sleep mode. As soon as i woke it up it showed 0% left and shut down. I installed all the updates. The problem seemed solved for one day. Then it drained again but this time did not shut down. It kept going and when plugged in shows 'plugged, not charging' so i started the calibration. That was yesterday. This morning it is still running. I so do not want to send it back, but if there is no way to fix this I may have to

I broke off the calibration since it seemed to be doing nothing at all, then let the computer fully drain.On stertup everything seemed fine for a bit till it then again failed to recognise the battry being charged. I gave up,and plugged in laid it aside. After a few hours opened it up again and presto, battery regognised, fully charged and now after a night in sleep mode 98% left and still functioning...

  • G560 Charging Icon shows charging 17 seconds then stops ?

    I have a G560 , when battery is depleted and needs a charge . If I plug my AC adapter in my battery icon shows I have the AC power but the icon shows that it is charging for 17 seconds and then quits showing that it is charging. If I unplug the power supply and then plug it in again. The same 20 seconds thing. I can get the battery to completely recharge all the way up if I plug and unplug. I am wondering if it is a defective voltage regulator problem? I do not want to replace the battery if the battery is not bad. It is just out of warranty by 3 monthes. This just started happening . Thanks and God Bless : )

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • The song I downloaded is corrupted-help! It plays for 30 seconds then stops it's a 3:45 song!

    the song I downloaded is corrupted-help! It plays for 30 seconds then stops it's a 3:45 song!

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • I copied several MOV files to a CD. When I play them from the CD the video is fine but the audio works fine for the first few seconds then stops (using Qicktime Player 7.7.1.  Everything works fine if I use VLC Media Player. Does anyone have any idea why?

    I copied several MOV files to a CD. When I play them from the CD the video is fine but the audio works fine for the first few seconds then stops (using Qicktime Player 7.7.1.  Everything works fine if I use VLC Media Player. Does anyone have any idea why?

    My purpose for copying to a CD or DVD is so that I can make copies and send to friends and relatives. What is the best way to get these files on a CD/DVD with the right codecs?
    The easiest thing to do is to simply tell your friends and relatives to copy the files to their local hard drive before playing them. Your basic problem is that data discs have a limited real time transfer rate. Since you say VLC plays the files fine, I might suspect its player is likely buffering the data while the QT 7 Player is not.
    Data discs made for playback directly from the CD or DVD are normally encoded using MPEG-4/AVC (H.264) video with AAC audio. This is a modern codec which has specific settings to re-package the data (i.e., must be encoded using the multipass option and then select the "optimize for CD/DVD" option).

  • IPod nano (4th gen) plays any song for 40 seconds, then stops

    Strange behaviour from my 4th gen iPod nano:
    1. When plugged into Logitech iPod dock, plays any song selected for 40 seconds, then stops. Hit play, it plays for another 40 seconds, then stops again. (Logitech iPod dock works fine with my wife's iPod nano.)
    2. When plugged into the Pioneer car stereo, the car stereo reports that the iPod is in SET UP mode, which it never comes out of. (As above, car stereo has no problem with my wife's iPod.)
    3. iPod nano is detected normally by iTunes and works normally when plugged into desktop computer.
    4. iPod (and iTunes) software is up to date.
    5. Resetting the iPod (Menu + Centre button hold) has no effect on either (1) or (2) above.
    6. Help?
    Steve

    Update: Restore to factory settings does not solve this problem. I'm really stumped.

  • Song Plays for 9 Seconds then stops

    One of my songs on my iPod Nano 2nd generation 4GB pink plays for 9 seconds then stops. It plays perfectly in iTunes. My iTunes software and iPod software are up to date. I tried restoring it but no luck. The song file isn't corrupted because it plays on my sisters MP3 player and in iTunes and in Windows Media Player. I've tried Apple suggestions too. If nothing helps I'm going to go the store I bought it at because I have an extended warranty, to see if they can help me.

    Does the song play all the way through on the computer? If so, reload this song (or all of the songs if you don't know how to do manual) onto the iPod. If the song doesn't work on the computer, e-mail Apple for a replacement download.

  • HP G56 intermitte​nt sound problem - e.g you tube/MP3 files play for 10 seconds then stop.

    HP G56 intermittent sound problem - e.g you tube/MP3 files play for 10 seconds then stop.  I have made sure that the latest sound driver is installed and this makes no difference. The laptop is new so there is no other software on it other than the pre-installed stuff operating on windows 7.  In sound options all looks well and the device is said to be working properly.  Even the sound test in device manager sometimes works and sometimes doesnt.

  • I bought battery charger for my mac book from the different store, and i want to verify that is genuine product or not?

    i brought battery charger for my mac book from the deferent store, and before i plug it to my mac book i want to verify that is genuine product. how do i get to know that?

    It should have an Apple part number at the bottom of the charger and an embossed Apple logo on the face of the adapter.
    Anyone can stamp a logo on the side, of course, so I would take a good luck at the part number and do an Internet search for the part number, making sure that it's genuine Apple.
    Good luck,

  • Is it safe to use the Yubi 1200a battery charger for my iPhone 5s?

    iis it safe to use a Yubi 1200a battery charger for an iPhone 5s?

    According to specs yes. But being a 3rd party device you are subject to their quality. 
    http://www.amazon.com/Yubi-Power-YP1200A-External-12000mAh/dp/B00FQJ4K60#product Details
    Going by the reviews (only 8 at this time on Amazon)
    Its seems to be a good charger.

    Even if it is a hardware problem they should fix it regardless of warranty. If you buy a car and after 1.5 years the doors fall off due to a failure in their design and construction, do you think the car manufacturer could pull off what Apple is trying to do? Yes the car still delivers its primary objective of driving from A to B, but significant functionality has been lost due to their fault.
    It is the same with this iPhone wifi problem. Apple are a disgrace, I have had significant Apple Hardware failures with my MacBook Pro and iPhone within 2 years of purchase. Pathetic quality.

  • Voltage range of battery charger for iMac accessories?

    Is the US-sold battery charger (for iMac accessories with two batteries charged at once) working from 110 to 230 volts (with US-plug though)? Thanks.

    Since the charger is rated at 5 Watts, and you have 5 Watts there that should work.
