Battery damaged after just one year of use

I am a medical student residing in hostel.I bought my Lenovo3000N100 notebook in feb'2007.After just one year of very minimal usage, the notebook battery has failed and now requires replacement.
How can such a company as lenovo's battery expire after 1 yr of use of maybe just 1-2 hours of running time per day or even less???
Even companies like ACER n HP have given better performance of their batteries which my roomates are using 3years n 2 years running n still working fine without any complains to date.
This battery problem has created a negative publicity for lenovo in my hostel and now nobody in my hostel or acquaintance wants to buy a lenovo product seeing my condition.

vkumar, welcome to the forum,
at the top of the 3000 Notebook board is a "sticky"; Notebook battery not getting re-charged. It may be of interest to you, especially this post from Mark_Lenovo.

  • Is there a way to prevent ibooks author from shutting down after just one or two uses of the alpha tool?

    Is there a way to prevent ibooks author from shutting down after just one or two uses of the alpha tool?

    Hello One Job at a time,
    Deleting the application will not delete your projects.
    Normally I keep all my work files on a separate drive.
    If you command click on the title name of your project you will get a drop down path to show you the location of your book project.
    or you can click on the drop down triangle beside its name to duplicate.
    Just remember where you saved the file too.
    In your applications folder on your computer select the iBA icon and press delete and also erase / empty the trash can.
    You can then go back to the APP STORE and install iBA from new again.
    I hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Nigel

  • TS1559 I did all 5 steps and they didn't work. I went into apple and they said it was probably unfixable and i would just have to pay to have it replaced. ridiculous, i'm paying for your broken product after ONE YEAR of use??

    I did all 5 steps and they didn't work so I went into apple and they basically told me they could send it away but it was probably unfixable and i'd have to pay for to replace it (180 dollars). I've only had th iphone 4s for two weeks over a year, am I seriously expected to pay for their broken product after one year of use??

    Yes, that was the terms of the warranty that you accepted when you purchased the phone. You had the option to purchase an extended warranty that would have covered it for 2 years, but you chose not to.

  • I have joined adobe photoshop but the program shut down after just one minute, why? I cannot use it!

    Without proper system information and other details nobody can tell you anything. If the program shuts down after a while then presumably it fails to verify your activation, so refer to this:

    Hello, cherilyn.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that a couple MagSafe adapters will no longer charger a couple MacBooks.  Here are the best troubleshooting steps to go through when experiencing this issue.

  • Is it normal for iPhone 4S to lose 1% battery life after 2-3 minutes of using?

    Is it normal for iPhone 4S to lose 1% battery life after 2-3 minutes of using? So in 2 hours, 24 minutes usage and 15 hours, 17 minutes  in standby mode, the battery became 68%...

    sounds plausable
    also you can't really 100% trust it's batt% batteries are an analog technology the only thing the iphone can judge how much batt is left is by measuing amp amount the batt is producing and then over time estimating how long before it's zore
    but anyway Its not wise to not put a battery for charge before bed when it's 12%
    if your reason is you think it's good for batteries to be empty before charging then you believe in a myth and in the process damaging the battery in your ios device

  • I have lightroom.  My photos are stored on an external disk drive with a backup disk.  With iCloud, will all of my photos go to the cloud?  Will I still need the external drives? Is the $9.99 per month for just one year or for always?

    I am an amateur photographer and have lightroom.  My photos are stored on an external disk drive with a backup disk.  With iCloud, will all of my photos go to the cloud?  Will I still need the external drives? Is the $9.99 per month for just one year or for always? 

    If the iTunes database files are on that drive, launch iTunes with the Shift key(Windows) or Option key(Mac OS X) held down, select Choose Library, and navigate to it. The computer may need to be authorized to play protected content, and if the library contains rented movies, those won't play.
    If not, import the content to an iTunes library.

  • HT1476 apple 5 phone, battery life decreased within one year of purchase,only half day or little more it works

    Apple I phone 5 , battery life decreased within one year of purchase, it works for half day, charger is also giving some trouble as oly doing some hit and trial ,it starts charging,

    I had similar issues with my iPhone 5. For the four or five most recent charging cycles it went from 100% down to around 30% normally with good standby and usage times. Then, start a call or open an app and bingo, it then would show 4% or 7%, sometimes giving me the 10% warning, other times not.
    So yesterday I took it to Genius Bar; they tested it and  immediately said it was a bad battery...replaced for free since I'm a  month away from end of warranty.

  • T61 battery is dead, just one night!

    I just bought a T61 for one day, I just charge the battery for a whole night. The second day, the battery is dead. I can not charge it and use it any more. I just want to know what I should do,I got one year warranty.where I can get the warranty and which email is customer's service email.
    Many thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    because issues like yours first need to be diagnosed, phone is the only way to go.   email might be more convenient but it saves support staff from having to bounce 10 emails back and forth just to diagnose something that might only take 5 minutes on the phone.
    it's usually a quick and painless process.   the new battery can even be expedited so you'll have it on friday.

  • Slighty shocked on usage after just one day

    I moved to BT Infinity just yesterday.  I haven't been online massively since then - at least I thought not!  Done a bit of facebooking, watched an hour's telly via my nowtv box, checked my emails and that's about it.  I did try out the free wifi at my mothers earlier on my kindle.  I thought for interest to check how my of my 20gb I had used in just one day and was shocked to the core to see my usage is at 1.88gb.  How is this possible????  Going on that as a guide and what I normally do online I'm going to have exhausted the allowance in the first week, never mind it lasting the month. 
    I would be glad of any suggestions.  I used to turn off my router when I left for the day with the previous one I had as I am the only one in the property and therefore I saw no point in leaving it chugging away. Would this help with the infinity router? 

    as you are on the bt infinity 1 20gb package for £15 a month it might be worth upgrading to the infinity 1 unlimited package for £23
    packages > http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/products/broadband/packages/?s_cid=con_FURL_packages&utm_sourc...
    i downgrade from unlimited to 40gb about a year ago and within 2 months i had topped my monthly 40gb by only 700mb and was fined £5 for going over. the only reason was i downloaded a couple of games that month.
    for peace of mind i upgraded again.
    ive now gone for the unlimited infinity 2 as dont want to get caught out again.

  • Motherboard lasted only 21 days after warranty, ONE YEAR.

    We purchased our HP 1150us g7 a year ago. Our warranty ran out 21 days ago. Now our Dual USB ports no longer show up on the Device Manager so we can install new drivers or uninstall and reinstall them, THEY ARE NOT THERE.
    I contacted HP and our warranty ran out 21 days ago, we have NO WARRANTY OR WILL GET NO HELP. Our Motherboard and USB issues are related and would cost at least $400. at the very least to repair.
    We paid nearly $600. for our HP notebook NEW ONE YEAR AGO. We thought it would last us a few years, we are seniors and money in this economy is in short supply.
    Since we can not tell our friends how wonderfully HP helped us with a year old HP $600.00 Notebook we will have to tell them HP DID NOTHING TO MAKE THIS RIGHT.
    I am sure it will change some folks minds about dealing with HP. In fact I know it will make a difference to our friends and family.

    Yes the motherboard needs to be repaired or replaced but the prices you are being quoted are way high. The places I linked will fix the motherboard. I can replace a motherboard but just do not have the equipment to do the component level repairs. I am not offering to do it I can just tell you I am fully aware of what the parts and labor cost. The motherboard can be replaced for around $250 parts and labor. It can be repaired for much less. Once repaired the motherboard is as good as new. But no one can guarantee how long any electronics will last. Good luck to you.

  • Is my ipod touch 4g 32gb battery covered by my one year warranty?

    At first, my ipod touch 4th generation 32gb was awesome. It was fast and it worked well (I bought it in February of 2012). But then I noticed some differences, it started to get a lot slower and just a few days ago something went wrong with the battery. I fully charged it thenI unplugged it before i went to sleep at 8:30 P.M., i woke up at 7:00 A.M. And it was dead. It also takes about 25 minutes now to start up after it dying and plugging it in to charge. By what i've been told every system comes with a 1-year warranty so i'm still covered. Also apps crash constantly every day. Am i able to send it in for a new one?

    Have you tried resetting it and if that did not work, restoring it from a backup and finally restoring it to factory settings?  If none of these things helped, this is probably a hardware problem.  Apple will replace your iPod with a refurbished 4G 32gb model under the warranty (unless they determine that the problem was cause by accident damage such as dropping it in water).
