Battery Failure Lenovo U350

Hello,
I have a problem with the battery from my U350, I bought no more than 6 months ago, so i don't think it's matter of time.
Battery is plugged, but not charging (message: connected and not load.) Do not know if the problem is that the battery is completely discharged. With AC it works perfect.
I've try:
- To remove the battery and plug again.
- Turn on without battery and put it then, (When I did this at first didn't recognize the battery)
- Recalibrate
- I read it can be a bios problem, (I do not want to tinker)
I've been searching but didn't get any answer.I will appreciate any suggestions, before taking to technical service.
Thanks

check and flash if new bios update is available butt it sounds like battery issue, so you may need to replace it, contact lenovo support line.

Wrong CPU given back after servicing? Lenovo U350

Hi,
I sent my notebook for service to change motherboard and battery for Lenovo U350.. After replacing the mainboard by LENOVO, i found that my CPU was not the same... Previously before service it was a SU7300 CPU and after replacing the mainboard, the cpu given back was a U4100 cpu.. Is it replacing mainboard, cpu also replaced??
Please advise??

Zopsi,
Thanks for your post and your private message. Please send me another PM with your contact details - name, address, phone and the current MT & Serial of the W520 that you have now.
Ultimately, we will probably need to see your particular system here to recreate the whine noise (detailed steps from you are appreciated so we make sure we are hearing the same thing). We don't have this as a "known" issue yet, so will be looking for example cases and then can try to isolate the components.
The Fan issue is solved by an updated BIOS making it's way out. I think it was going through test last week and should be released to the website for download in the next week or so.
Will have to check on the red tint and would need to see the system.
I'll look for your PM.
Many thanks!

My IPad1 has completely shut down. It has no power. I have tried a restart and a reset with no results. I have tried charging through the keyboard dock, the wall charger and my Macbook Pro with no results. Is this a complete battery failure?

My IPad 1 has lost complete power. I have attempted a restart and a reset without results. I have attempted to charge with the keyboard dock, the wall charger and connecting to my MacBook Pro. Again no results just a black screen. Is this a battery failure? I am in Mexico for another 6 weeks and hoping to find a solution.

Cathi-
How long did you have the iPad connected to the wall charger? A completely dead iPad battery may not work until it has been charged for some time - maybe a half hour or more. I suggest leaving it on charge overnight, and then trying the reset.
The MacBook may be able to charge the iPad if it doesn't go to sleep, but it will be extremely slow. the Wall charger is definitely the best way.

Remanufactured Battery from Lenovo Outlet

Hello,
I ordered a remanufactured 6-cell battery from Lenovo Outlet during their promotion period last month. It arrived last Friday. Everything looked fine when I unpacked it.
However, when I checked the ASM (92P1142) and FRU number (42T4777). It looks like that ASM is on the recall list years ago. This battery pack is manufactured by Sony with cycle count of 0. I am concerned of the safety issue and email Lenovo Outlet. They told me to call technical support department. I tried this afternoon and waited for over 20 minutes without any human representative asking my call.
Anybody has similiar experience or can answer my question? TIA.

Lenovo U350 - Windows 7 - Network (LAN, WiFi) not working

Hi
My WiFi is not working on my new computer Lenovo U350. I have pressed FN+F5, but it says I have to turn on the switch. Where is this switch??
I've tried to reinstall the network drivers as well...

Look on the left side of the laptop, in front of the USB port. There is a slide switch there.
Page 4 of the users manual shows a picture. Look here: http://consumerdl.lenovo.com.cn/UserFiles/UserGuide/en/User's%20guides%20and%20manuals/U350/Lenovo%2...

IPhone won't turn on... possibly a sudden battery failure?

Hi,
So my iPhone was working fine, i received a call, put it down... but next time I go to check something I push the home button and nothing happens.
I've tried turning it on - nothing, charging it - nothing, taking the sim card out etc - nothing.
I tried calling too, and just goes to voicemail.
I bought it off a work colleague as a replacement for a lost one, so I have no idea of the serial number, and its definately out of warranty.
Any idea what the problem is? Feels like a sudden and total battery failure, but I don't even know how I'd get that sorted/replaced!
Please help me someone!!
Thanks, Matt

Does it charge if you connect to the adapter? If yes, let it charge for about 20min. then connect in recovery mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If it does not charge, contact Apple to get it serviced, see these details about the battery replacement program: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/battery/
or more on the Out-of -Warranty Service here: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/#warranty7

Lenovo U350, can not start any programs at some point

Hi experts,
I ran again into some problems with my Lenovo U350 under Windows 7.
All of a sudden, I can not start any program on my laptop after running it for a while. I click on the program I can see this program running in Task Manager but it does not show up on the screen.
Also I can not restart my laptop normally by clicking either on buttons "Restart" or "Shut down" either. For some reason these buttons/commands stop working. The only way to deal with this problem is a hard shut down by holding the "Power On/Off" button pressed on the laptop for a few seconds.
I ran the antivirus check on my laptop to find existing viruses but came out with the result of 0 viruses.
I wonder why the programs on my laptop stop loading or freezing? Any ideas?
I'm that close to reinstall the whole system with the OKR.
Thanks for your replies in advance.
Cheers,
Randy.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

yigit, thanks a lot for your reply.
I tried to reinstall Windows on the weekend using the OKR. The problem was that I could start OKR under Windows 7 and choose the clean OS installation. Then my laptop restarts and I expected that reinstallation procedure would start next. But in reality what I have is just a normal Windows 7 Start. I also tried to start OKR by pressing an OKR button while my laptop is switched off. But same result - just a normal Windows 7 Start. Apparently, the OKR files are corrupted somehow.
I have to mention 2 facts:
1) I didn't change the partitions on my drive. These are the default factory partitions.
2) Unfortunately, I didn't create the recovery discs when I bought my laptop.
The question is how I can reinstall my system then? May I ask Lenovo for some recovery discs to ship to me if I still have a warranty?
Thanks in advance for your future replies.
Randy.
P.S. yigit, I checked your mentioned thread. The problem is I don't receive any Windows message saying why it can't start programs. It just doesn't start without any error message that should come along with it.

Lenovo U350. Upgrade Windows Vista to 7

Hi all!
Last week I bought Lenovo U350 notebook with Windows Vista OS. And now I want upgrade it to Windows 7.

Where I can find these drivers?
Thanks a lot!

it's kinda old post, so, download page for u350 has been updated. you can download drivers for windows 7.

X200 brand new battery: "Genuine Lenovo Battery Not Attached"?

Hi,
I got a new 9-cell x200 battery from lenovo literally a few hours ago, and upon plugging it in Power Manager gives me the dang "Genuine Lenovo Battery Not Attached" message... despite the battery being ordered directly from Lenovo! I've noticed that the cells in this battery are Panasonics instead of the Sanyos I got in my 6-cell included with my x200.
Why is it giving me this message, and how do I disable it (without getting rid of Power Manager)?
(To be honest, I'm more interested in the first question )

Hi,
I am working on restoring a very old system built using PXI8156B, attached are the snaps.
The system has damaged OS. I want to restore by ghost image which was captured just before final system was ready for operation.
The CPU module has battery failure which cause "Loading defaults" thereby booting from C. I tried making boot sequence "A,C" but was no success.
I would like to know how do I restore the battery..? There doesn't seem removable battery.
How can I restore the ghost image if battery solution fails..?
Kindly advice.
Thanks and regards,
Kunal

I would like to erase a partition that I have on my 30gb internal harddrive.
Do you have more than one partition on the HDD? I suspect you have only one since the HDD is only 30 GB.
Your computer is now 8 years old, as is the original HDD. The average life of these drives is 3 to 5 years, so your HDD is well past old age. You may be getting the error messages because your drive is failing.

Premature CMOS 2032 Battery Failures

There have been many reports in this forum lately concerning premature CMOS 2032 battery failures.
If there truly is a common CMOS battery problem with MSI systemboards
we need to start to find the solution by identifing what vendors battery is failing and on what boards.
My mobo is MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum (G52-M7125X1)
My original CMOS battery was a KTS Lithium CR2032
It lasted about 1 month then the systemboard failed to POST.
I replaced it with a Energizer Lithium 2032
It has worked for a week so far.
The 2032 is a Lithium-Manganize Dioxide 3.0 Volt Button Battery.
It is designed not for recharging.
Life expectancy is least 2 to 4 years
A new 2032 battery unused and right out of the package measures 3.26Volts DC.
The new 2032 battery in the motherboard with AC power on, measures 2.97 Volts DC.
A defective KTS CR2032 battery out of the motherboard for days measures 2.97 Volts DC.
A defective KTS CR2032 battery in the motherboard with AC power on measures 1.41 Volts DC.
I used a Fluke Series 77 Digital Multimeter for the measurements.
My Phoenix-Award BIOS Version 1.4 - PC Health Status of the good Battery = 1.66 Volts
I have no idea what that means other than the BIOS is not reporting accurate battery voltages.
If you just have to know all there is to know about batteries try these sites:

Good day.
To clarify, you've posted in an old thread for a very different, and newer generation model of ThinkPad.
(new thread created)
To answer, there's no such pinhole reset button on the T410s. It's a feature on select, newer generation models.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

I am unable to save any BIOS updates. I have tried to update the BIOS to v1.4, only to have the same problem. If I make any changes to the BIOS information, the system will either A) Hang on F10/Save Changes, or B) if it does Re-POST the information, ALL of my changes are lost.

If you haven't already done so please replace the CMOS battery asap. Then let us know how it works. I have had similar problems and the battery is the secret.

T500 Battery Failure and Replacement Options

The battery on my T500 recently "failed due to normal wear" and will no longer hold any charge. It had over 1000 cycles in a little under two years of use, so I guess that's not to be unexpected. The failure happened suddenly though (went from 2 hrs of normal life to no charge overnight). I tried reseting the battery through power manager to no avail, so I'm looking for a replacement now.
I'm currently looking at a couple of options and wondering if anyone has experience with any of these:
Stock Lenovo (I assume it would be the most reliable, but also most expensive at $179) http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:item.detail?...
C&K on Amazon (Claims to be genuine; $136) http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-ThinkPad-40Y6797-Thinkpad-Standard/dp/B001TQ6VQ6/ref=sr_1_35?ie=UTF8&m=...
eComElectronics (Claims to be genuine, although some older reviews say it's non-OEM; $97) http://www.amazon.com/ThinkPad-SL-Cell-Li-Ion-Battery/dp/B000CBG0XI/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Assortment of non-OEM batteries on Amazon ($25-$60) http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_26?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=lenovo+t50...
Do #2 and #3 seem fine? Even though they aren't sold through Lenovo, would they still be eligible for the 1 year warranty?
What about the non-OEM's? Are the price savings not worth the hassle of getting a lemon and the compatibility warnings from the power manager?
Thanks

if they are an official resellers then you can claim warranty from Lenovo, otherwise you would have to get the warranty through the retailers themselves.
Non-OEM quality can vary, since there are so many of them, it is hard to give you any sort of advice as to what you would expect.
But you could try the 6 cells Boston Power Battery, they have 3 years warranty, and priced competitively. They are the only non-OEM battery i would buy.
