Genuine Lenovo Battery Not Attached, Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga

I am having a message that says "Genuine Lenovo Battery Not Attached" message that appears after Windows 8.1 starts up. A similar sort of message appears before even Windows boots up, and I need to press the 'Esc' key in order for Windows to boot. This seems to have happened after a recent Windows update. I have uninstalled an reinstalled the Lenovo Power Management Driver but it does not appear to have fixed the issue. My BIOS is the latest version.
This issue is on my Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga S1.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Reset simply does a circuit discharge, it doesn't wipe anything off your hdd.

Power Manager Guage: Genuine Lenovo Battery Not Attached

I have a T60p Thinkpad (WinXP) with a non-genuine Lenovo Battery. Several times a session, a warning balloon pops up from the system tray Power Manager Guage that reads "Genuine Lenovo Battery Not Attached". There is no way to close the balloon and if I try, it takes control of my browser and tries to sell me a battery. Very heavy-handed marketing.
Is there any way to disable this ballon, even getting into the registry? I cannot buy a new battery and the ballon is quite distracting!
Thank you

I just got an aftermarket battery, which I have no choice about because that is
our office supplier. It is one thing to warn me ONCE about a possibly inferior
accessory. IT IS ENTIRELY ANOTHER MATTER TO NAG ME CONSTANTLY ABOUT IT.
So I have to choose between beging nagged by the "not a genuine Lenovo
battery" message all the time, or disabling all battery charge control by exitting the application.
Thanks a lot Lenovo. Everyone else in the office has already gone to other brands.
If this is the way Lenovo treats their customers, then this is the last Thinkpad I will ever
buy too.

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 )

Power Manager : Genuine Lenovo Battery Not Attached

I refuse to pay the bloated price Lenovo charge for their 'genuine' Lenovo battery and bought a long-life one for less than half the Lenovo price. However I keep getting that annoying message popping up and i bascially have to click the pop up to see a website to then shut it down. Invaiably the message will repeat several times and just , well , 'do my nut in'.
there is a similar thread in the T60 section but the fix there entails an XP element which i tried but it wont work in Vista..anyone any idea how to disable this dumb warning?
I'll take my chances if the battery goes boom....

the only way to disable it is to uninstall the ThinkPad Power Manager software.

if your battery does go boom then the cost savings won't seem so great. almost every battery explosion i've seen (all of which were non-genuine batteries) completely destroyed the notebook.
lenovo batteries have monitoring/failsafe electronics built in. third-party batteries do not have this. third-party batteries also wear out much more quickly than a genuine as they use cheap cells. unfortunately, there's no such thing as an inexpensive long-life battery.

Genuine Lenovo battery - not

I just purchased a battery for my X200S from notebook-laptop-accessories co uk, advertised as a 'genuine Lenovo' item (there's even a picture of a Lenovo-branded battery on the page). When it arrived, it was just an aftermarket battery as you can find on eBay for less than half the price. Thankfully due to a PayPal glitch my payment didn't go through, so I'm not out of pocket (they're welcome to pay me the postal costs to return it!), but I thought other users might appreciate the warning.

thanks for the feedback.

Thinkpad yoga 3rd party pen not working

So i bought a thinkpad yoga, and it came today - which I am really happy about. There's a problem though - I bought the computer thinking that I would get a pen with it and an active digitizer. I bought the computer over the phone, and i got a confirmation email saying that the base was a FHD 1080 screen. Since the only two options for the computer are either with partial HD and NO pen or with FHD and a pen, i assumed I was getting a pen or at least a digitizer with the computer.
After all, I paid for it in full.
The pen did not come with the computer, however i was told that if i bought a thinkpad pen separately, it would still work. I have a digitzer pen already, but it doesn't work on this computer.
I tried to download the firmware update for the digitizer, which didn't work. I got a notice saying
Current version: ????
New Version:
and then it said that a connection could not be established. I also tried to download the wacom feel driver, but it said that a compatible tablet was not detected.
Does anyone have any inkling what is going on here? somebody please help!!! I really don't want to have to return the laptop and have to purchase a new one.

When I bought my Yoga, on the Australian Lenovo website it explicitly states it as a Wacom digitizer:
http://shopap.lenovo.com/au/en/laptops/thinkpad/yoga-series/
Pretty much every Lenovo machine that carried an active digitizer in the past has been Wacom (apart from a couple times I think they used N-Trig, a comptetitor to Wacom).
What lead_org means is B - the Full HD 1080p screen can be had with or without an active digitizer - if does have one, it is guaranteed to be a Wacom.
Techinically speaking, a touchscreen is a digitizer (passive rather than active, since it only works on contact with your finger or a capacitive pen as opposed to hover capabilities etc.). The active digitizer panel is a seperate component from the screen.
With lesser quality, there is the possibility that there are some differences between each Wacom digitizer panel - however, they won't have another manufacturer's active digitizer panel in the mix with the same product.
ATM, there are four different active digitizers that can be had - Wacom, N-Trig, Atmel and Synaptics.
The technology that drives each company's active digitizer is fundamentally different and won't work between different brands of digitizer. (e.g. a Wacom pen won't work with an N-Trig active digitizer panel, and vice-versa.) So you won't find a Yoga that has N-Trig or any other digitizer.
Wacom and N-Trig are the main players - Atmel and Synaptics just aren't on the same level as them yet.
Wacom - common on Lenovo, Fujitsu, Samsung (under the name S-Pen), Toshiba tablet pcs
N-Trig - common on Sony, ASUS Taichi tablet pcs
Atmel - so far on HP products only
Synaptics - Dell Venue 8 and 11 Pro
Sorry if I sound like I'm rambling on - I'll stop it here. You can always do some Google searches and read up about this a bit more. Below is a link that might help.

Battery replacement for Thinkpad X60

Hello,
Bought a battery replacement for Thinkpad X60. When tried to install it discovered an L-shaped part of the laptop (seems non-removable) which prevents inserting the battery. Has anybody encountered such a thing?
A pdf with some pictures is uploaded here .
Thank you!
Solved!

Welcome to the forum!
You're referring to the plastic L-shaped part on picture #2, right? That's a spacer for the X6xs models. You can remove it by loosen the two screws with a coin.
That's an aftermarket battery, not a Lenovo one btw.

Ignore "Not a genuine Lenovo Battery"

Ok, everytime my computer comes back from sleep, I get the message "This battery is not a Genuine Lenovo Batter"
here's the thing: I really don't care.
This message is really starting to get on my nerves because when I click on it, it doesn't go away.
Also the battery guage refuses to get the correct percent on the battery. Right now, i have it plugged in, and it's telling me a) that its on battery power, and b) its only at 71%.
Now it updates ONCE every time i log in from sleep mode. but thats it. it doesnt update when I'm off AC power so I dont know when my battery is going to die.
is there ANY other power manager or something i can do to stop this message and make the ThinkVantage power manager recognize the battery?
EDIT: Or do i need to install drivers for this manufacturer's battery?

If the battery is a genuine Lenovo battery, updating the battery management software should get rid of this.

Thinkpad Yoga: Lenovo Power Plans

Hello i upgraded my Yoga to Windows 8.1. Enterprise but no i lost my lenovo energy plans. Can you tell me how to get them like energysaver again?
Can anyone export them like here http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-import-and-export-power-plans-schemes-in-windows-7/ for me please?
Regards Zack

Then, about controlling at which level does the battery start charging and at which level it stops, I have found that the Power Managment software extention is not compatible with the Thinkpad Yoga... Which is a pity to my mind. The Lenovo staff justify it by saying that it is not harmful to let the battery fully charged and plugged until it is the case during years non stop.
But I would like to tell here that since we see on several websites that a battery has a better lifetime if charged at 80-90% rather than 100%, if the software engineers could make the software compatible without too much effort, that would be great.
I have also discussed with other people about the F1-F12 keys configuration in the BIOS, and we agree in general that it's very frustrating to see some useful possibilities disabled on newest computers, especially knowing that it is supposed to be professional machines...
I hope then that the Lenovo staff is opened to customers' wishes and works to make the best of Lenovo's computers experience.
All the best.

As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with Google Chrome application on your ThinkPad Yoga S240.
Uninstall Google Chrome browser from your system, delete the entire chrome folder and run the register cleaner and reboot the system. After restarting download and install the Google chrome with latest version and check if the issue resolved.
Hope this helps.

Spare Stylus to Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga

Hi Guys
I am using my new Thinkpad Yoga and I am happy so far.
Unfortunately I lost my pen/stylus a few days ago and of course, the tablet/ultrabook is useless or just a normal notebook without a stylus.
However, I failed to find a spare-stylus which fits in the case. Could you direct me to a webshop or something were I can buy one?
And, as it is related to this topic, do you know any other stylus which work with this tablet? The original one is fine but to work all day long with the normal stylus it is a bit to small / thin.
Best regards
Schneeele

Other Wacom based tablet PC styluses should work but you might have to recalibrate the digitizer though.
You can check out the Wacom styluses that Fujitsu , Lenovo , and Samsung offer. Those all should work.

Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga OS Upgrading

Hi All,
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga laptop, Model no is 20CDA016HH. In this windows 8 Home edition is already installed. My doubt is that, can I upgrade the windows 8 Home Edition to Windows 8.1 Pro Edition. What should I do for that.
Advance thanks for you kind support.
Regards,
Jomy T S

There should be an installer somewhere on your computer - look for a file called "iTunesSetup.exe" (32-bit) or "iTunes6464Setup.exe" (64-bit) - you'll almost certainly have got the second of these on a Windows 8 machine. Then double-click on this file to install iTunes. If you can't find the files, the direct links are here:
iTunes 12.1.1.4 (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
iTunes 12.1.1.4 (64-bit) - itunes6464setup.exe
iTunes 12.1.1.4 (64-bit "for older video cards") - iTunes64Setup.exe
The last of these is an alternative installer for 64-bit systems you find that using the "standard" 64-bit version causes playback issues or problems with QuickTime or Outlook integration.
