Is my laptop charger broken or is there something wrong with my laptop (ideapad U410)?

I've had my ideaPad U410 for about a year and a few months (august 2012) and it has been fine. Recently, whenever I plug in my charger in the bottom right notification tray, it doesn't show that my laptop is charging. I tried multiple times and it doesn't work. Is there something wrong? What should I do?
Where can I get a replacement if it is indeed my charger that is broken?
Thank you

If you can run the laptop on the battery alone then it is more than likely still being charged by the charger when the machine is plugged in.  If you know someone with a voltmeter you could have them check to be sure that the charger is outputing the correct voltage. 
If the battery is still being charged, what I would do is uninstall and reinstall the Lenovo Power Management software.  That should correct the icon probem you are experiencing.  The Power Management software can be downloaded from Lenovo's download page at the link below........

  • Is there something wrong with my ps4 or am i just being paranoid?

     I noticed that when i try to play some games textures take a while to load. It's especially noticeable in Battlefield 4, when a map loads and i spawn i have to wait like 30 seconds or more for the textures to load. I wouldn't care too much about it but it always took way less time. I think i also noticed it in Witcher 3, some textures just take a really long time to load especially in Novigrad. In Batman Arkham Knight i can notice it too on some street signs and ground textures when i'm flying around. Is there something wrong with my ps4 or am i just being really paranoid?

  • Is there something wrong with my iPod?

    When I want to sync music on my iPod I need to let the battery die before I can do it otherwise it crashes and now on two occasions my iPod wouldn't turn on but when I put my earphones in I could hear a faint fuzzing noise. My battery wasn't dead because I'd just charged it up the night before and was fully charged. I have to let my battery die again so I can turn it on. And also a couple of times it crashes after I eject it from syncing music. Is there something wrong with my iPod or can it be fixed.

    Sounds like there is something wrong, get it serviced.

    Installs fine for me, so I'd guess you got an incomplete or corrupt download. See the Further Information area of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for direct links and download a fresh copy of the installer.

  • Is there something wrong with this table row definition?

    I have am supporting a coldfusion app that manipulates several forms.  One one particular page, there is a form that consists of several tables.  The last 3 lines of the last table are
        <tr>
                <td height="35" align="right" valign="middle">Description:</td>
                <td align="left" valign="middle"><input name="tmpPurpose" class="RptStd" size="70" maxlength="100" value="" onblur="document.ExpnDtl.Purpose.value = this.value;" onchange="ChkName(<cfoutput>#Session.CCWarn#</cfoutput>)" /><input type="hidden" name="Purpose" value="" />
                             <a href="#" id="aDesc" onclick="ShowHelp('9')" style="border:none; display:inline; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px"><img src="/images/Help_Icon.gif" height="14" width="13" border="0" /></a>
                            </td>
          </tr>
          <cfif IsDefined("form.ExpnsCntrb")>
              <tr id="CntrbErr">
                   <td colspan="2" class="Error"><cfoutput>#form.ExpnsCntrb#</cfoutput></td>
              </tr>
          </cfif>
          <tr id="expnContrib">
                  <td align="left" valign="middle" height="35" class="RptStd" colspan="2">Is expenditure a contribution to a candidate, officeholder, or political committee?    <input type="radio" name="rdoCntrb" value="Y" /> Yes    <input type="radio" name="rdoCntrb" value="N" /> No</td>
           </tr>
          <tr id="COHInfo">
              <td colspan="2" class="RptStd" align="left" valign="middle" height="35">
                  <input type="checkbox" name="chkCand" id="chkCand" value="X" onclick="if (this.checked) document.ExpnDtl.btnCOH.disabled = false; else document.ExpnDtl.btnCOH.disabled = true;" />Direct expenditure to benefit a candidate or officeholder    
                  <input type="button" name="btnCOH" value=" Enter C/OH Information " class="RptBtn" onclick="window.open('/Testing/Test_COHBenefit.cfm?Parent=' + document.ExpnDtl.ItemID.value + '&Type=EXPN&Form=' + document.ExpnDtl.ExpnCode.value, 'CandidateInfo', 'width=730px,height=475px,scrollbars,resizable,location')" disabled /> <a href="#" id="aDirExpn" onclick="ShowHelp('11')" style="border:none; display:inline; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px"><img src="/images/Help_Icon.gif" height="14" width="13" border="0" /></a>
              </td>
         </tr>
         </table>
    Now whne the form is displayed on my page, I always see the line of text Description and the line of text Direct expenditure to benefit a candidate or officholder (in bold above).  But I never see the line of text  Is expenditure a contribution to a candidate... (in italics above).   It seems so simple but I can't figure out why that line does not display!!  Is there something wrong with that tr/td definition?

    Have you tried removing the ID?  Just to see if some CSS might be using that ID with a display:none or visibility:none statement?

  • Is there something wrong with a Oscar Gomez Fuentes 2Channel oscilloscope

    Is there something wrong with a Oscar Gomez Fuentes 2Channel oscilloscope or are my devices configured wrong. I have DAQCard-6036E and SCC-2345 with SCC-Ft01 and SCC-A10 modules. The problem is that when I am measuring with A10 it effects to FT01's RMS and DC values. But when I am measuring with Ft01 everything is ok. So what's wrong?? I attached a picture of a front panel.

    Neuvos,
    Do any of the signals you are measuring have high output impedances (> 1 kOhm)? If so, you may be seeing cross-talk (or ghosting). Below, I have included links to a number of documents that discuss this issue and methods for eliminating it:

    Good luck with your application.

  • Is there something wrong with my BT Vision.

    Is there something wrong with my BT Vision.
    It lists loads of programmes, but when I click them there are only a few episodes available.
    For example, I search for "Regular Show" using the Blue button and since I've had BT Vision (for a couple of months), only the same two episodes have ever appeared. 

    Hi McKenzieM,
    Welcome to the forum.
    I checked "Regular Show" and it looks like episodes 29 and 30 are currently available. I have sent this off to double-check this.
    Can you give me examples of what other programs are showing a few episodes so I can look into it?
    Thanks,
    Stephanie

  • Merged clips - are they all bugs or is there something wrong with my system?

    I have to use merged clips to sync video and audio because making every clip a sequence is too cumbersome and doesn't give me thumbnails to help choose my shots. Apparently, merged clips are very buggy. I can't use colored markers because they don't get saved on merged clips. I can't use match frame on merged clips because they don't find the correct frame. I can't set a poster frame on a merged clip except with the "in" marker. Are all those problems bugs, or is there something wrong with my specific system. I trashed preferences to fix another problem unrelated to merged clips, but that didn't solve any of the clip problems.

    I don't believe there's anything wrong with your system.

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • Hi. Whenever I go through one of the menus in firefox, the links remain highlighted after my mouse passes over them. Is there a bug fix for this or is there something wrong with my computer? I am running windows 7 if that helps.

    Hi. Whenever I go through one of the menus in firefox, the links remain highlighted after my mouse passes over them. Is there a bug fix for this or is there something wrong with my computer? I am running windows 7 if that helps. This problem started ever since I upgraded to version 5.

    I have downloaded and used the iPod Reset Utility, alot that did. My current state is iTunes on my XP Home with SP3 sees the iPod. When I drag a song to the iPod, the Sync message appears for about 5 minutes, then the Apple symbol appears. But no song has been transferred to the iPod.
    I tried to tap into the XP iTunes database from my iBook, but although it acted like it would add the XP library to the iBook library, it did not. I've got 19 Gs of songs on the XP. If I have to load each song from its original CD to get it on my iBook I'm going to start looking for some other app or device so that I can listen to my music.
    It is a shame, in the old days, Apple techs use to look at what was going on, now it appears they don't, so they never know they have problems until Apple's profits fall.

    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

    It looks like the app is not currently in the App Store, I can't find it in the UK nor US stores.
    If you had previously downloaded it then do you have a copy on your computer's iTunes so that you can sync it to your iPad ?
