G700 - Energy Management says battery is not genuine and won't charge it!
Hello
Apologies if someone has already posted this query and got a response. My G700 has Lenovo's Energy Management software (8.0.2.4) installed. Until recently, the battery would charge (and drain) as expected - it is the original that came with the laptop a few weeks ago. I'm running Windows 8 and haven't upgraded to 8.1 yet.
However, now I get a pop-up box from the software every time I boot up from saying that "the system does not support batteries that are not genuine Lenovo-made or authorized.....". Also, the software is preventing the battery from being charged, so I'm having to use the mains power.
Lenovo's support has suggested that it might be a (physical) problem with the battery, but it seems to be a software-related. Please can someone help with this one? Is there an update to the software that I can install? Can it be disabled to allow the battery to be charged? Does the problem go away with an upgrade to Windows 8.1?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Ammo23,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
This error may be a Software/Firmware Related or the battery is really bad and being read as not genuine.
can you try Doing this,
1. Try Performing a power Drain and BIOs Reset.
Remove the AC adapter and the battery, Now Hold Down the power Button for at least 10 sec. This will drain the Mainboard.
Reconnect the Ac and Battery and Turn on the system,Right away start tapping F2 to boot into BIOS Setting.
Hit F9 to Load defaults and enter for Yes then hit F10 To save and Exit then Enter for Yes.
2. When Booted Back up to Windows,
Open Device Manager and under Battery Look for Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control method Battery
Right Click On it and uninstall it, Restart after uninstallation.
Check if the issue will be the same after the Steps.
If still the same, Uninstall the Lenovo Energy Management from Control Panel / Programs and restart the system.
check if the system will charge without the Energy Management Software,
If the same thing happened I would Suggest you call Lenovo Support right away and report the steps your did and still getting the same result.
Let me know your Findings
Cheers!

iTunes Store is not letting me purchase any songs. When I download them it says something about security questions and when I type them in it says they are incorrect when they are! Hiw can I download song?
Click here and search the article for '2 out of 3' without the quotes; in the case of forgotten answers, this generally involves either a message being sent to your rescue email address or contacting the iTunes Store staff directly.

My hardrive has been increasingly getting louder, and in a search under Macbook Pro services I found my problem, but they said to install the Hard Drive Firmare 2.0. After I downloaded it when it opens under installer, a pop-up says 'This update is not necessary for this computer' and then it autmatically closes the installer. Apart from taking it in to the store (which I will probably have to end up doing), are there any suggestions?
Nilsene,
perhaps your hard drive already has that firmware version installed? That could explain why you’re getting the “this update is not necessary for your computer” pop-up.
Are you making regular backups of your hard drive? Its increasing volume might be an early warning of an approaching disk failure, so if you’re not already doing so, I’d highly recommend purchasing an external disk for use as a Time Machine backup destination — that way, in case of a sudden failure, you won’t permanently lose all of your personal files. -

My Macbook Pro saying Battery is Not Charging
When I plug my Macbook Pro into a charger it is saying "Battery is Not Charging" and the charger isn't changing color when plugged in. But it is making the charging symbol over the battery?

I just got a new ipod 5 and when I plugged in the charging cord that came with it, it says it is not supported, and may not charge. It worked the first few times, but now it won't charge at all.
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. The cable as well as the iPod, is covered by the warranty.

My battery is not charing. The cord charges other computers fine. Someone suggested it could be the DC-in board or the battery may be unplugged. I assume I open the bottom to either check the battery or install a new DC-in board? Any guidance for a way forward? Thank you.

ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified in windows server 2008 r2.I made a application in asp.net c#.I am using ODBC connection.When I deployed my application in windows server2008 r2.There
is no Microsoft ODBC driver shown in ODBC Data source administrator.Then I go to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 and open Odbcad32.exe and add Microsoft ODBC2 driver for Oracle and when I run my application I got following error
ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
I am using follwoing string
<connectionStrings>
<add name="theconnetion" connectionString="DSN=abdb;UID=abc;PWD=xyz"/>
</connectionStrings>
Guide me What I do?Did you add a System DSN or a User DSN? If you added a User DSN from your own login, the asp.net application will not be able to use it unless its application Pool in IIS is configured to run under the same credentials that you used for creating
the DSN. It's better if you add a System DSN.
Also, be careful to ensure that you are using a 64 bit DSN, unless you configure the application to run in 32 bits. If the 64 bit application attempts to use the 32 bit driver you get the same error message "Data source name not found and no default
driver specified". See this KB article:

I have a new iPod and cannot get my music loaded on to it. The computer says it's not connected, and then it says it is synced but there's still no mucis on it.
If that's not a real email, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

Hey everyone, So I am trying to get a report onto the server, and in BIDS I kept getting a login screen repeating over and over when I tried to deploy my report, so I tried to upload the file at http://<servername>/Reports This worked, but then trying
to run this report from http://<servername>/Reports did not work either because "An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Cannot create a connection to data source 'FTYDataSource'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection) For more information
about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors" Anyways I tried to add a New Data Source (which I would use in the report) at http://<servername>/Reports, type ODBC, with the connection string Dsn=blah_blahblah.
I try to test the connection here and get the error ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified This is really getting old fast, everything I try, a new error comes up. Granted I am new at this,
but this still should not be this troublesome. Does anyone have any ideas on what could FINALLY allow me to just put a report out onto the server?!? THANK YOU in advance for ANY help.Hi,
Please try setting the credentials of the datasource.
1. Double click and open the datasource in your project.
2. Click on the credentials tab, and click on option button 'Use this username and password'
3. Enter the username and password to connect to the datasource
4. Deploy or upload the datasource to the report server and try accessing the reports.
Hope this helps.

You need to have the original serial number from the first time. If you purchased it thru a school program/discount then you should check with the school to see if they still have some way of assisting you.
