Lenovo A3000 does not charge

I let the tablet ran out of battery, then tried to charge but it didn't work. If y press de On button, it turns on, shows home screen, and then turns off.
What can I do?
I'm using Windows 8, i read sth about a brick, but the solution uses windows 7.
Thanks

Hi MikeTov,
are you sure you have Windows 8 running on an A3000 because it is essentially an Android device? Maybe you could check exactly which Lenovo system you have and re-post.

Lenovo G550 does not charge battery!!!! please help!!!!! :c

So i havent used my Lenovo for about a year and a half because i had lost the originial charger. ive recently bought a new cheap charger from amazon and thought it was the charger that was the problem when i looked it up online and found out it may be a bug from Windows 7. Now, this charger does turn on my laptop, but it does not charge it. It simply says "plugged in, not charging" and when i was reading an article on how to fix this , i was trying for hours to uninstall a program under device management called Microsoft ACPI- Compliant Conntrol Method Battery, because it was said that uninstalling this would help the system charge again. but after countless hours, i found that the program reinstalls itself and i am left with a laptop that just wont charge. my laptop says 0% (plugged in, not charging) and i really need this to work for the upcoming school year. i dont know what else to do! whenever i disconnect the wire the system completely shuts down and if i dont fix this problem ill just have to get rid of my Lenovo G550, which i absolutely LOVE! please, anyone help me! do i need to install a new version of windows? do i need to uninstall something? or is my laptop absolutely done for?
please, please, please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi Chernandez51,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
From your observation, it seems like the battery was fully discharged after not being for a long time (batteries degrade overtime due to age, heat, and usage).
What you can try is to charge the battery for an hour or two while the computer is off then observe the status light indicators.

If the battery still doesn't take a charge then the battery might have gone faulty and needs a replacement.
For best compatibility, I recommend you use a Lenovo approved AC adapter and charger. You can buy one from the lenovo spare parts website (www.lenovospareparts.com) or you can buy online (eg. Amazon, Ebay, etc.) but ensure that there's a Lenovo FRU part number on the item..

Lenovo G550 does not charge properly.

Well, hello everyone.
I have been experiencing a problem with my Lenovo G550 lately. It doesn't charge properly and at most cases, I have to charge it when it's turned off. When I start up my laptop and as soon as I get to the Windows login screen (or not even up to the loading screen), the power LED starts to blink. I log in to see the laptop not charging. I have tried everything you'd usually do such as, turning the laptop off and on after awhile, removing the battery and putting it in after a few minutes or maybe even an hour, check the charger, take the charger in and out of the laptop and even letting the laptop rest for awhile without the charger or battery in. Sometimes even after all that, it seems like it still doesn't charge. Sometimes it does charge when turned on, although, only charges for a few minutes and stops charging. Even when switched off, sometimes, it doesn't charge properly either.
If you know anything that would fix this, a suggestion or if you know why I'm having this problem, please reply to this.
Ah, silly little computer.

I have a friends laptop hoping to fix a common issue (or as I thought) of a broken power adapter socket. Without the battery in place when you plug the ac adapter in you get no lights and when you press the power button nothing happens.
Upon disassembly and also with the use of the internet I found that Lenovo actually has a nice setup where the yellow socket is removable retained by a single screw, with a pigtail and plug for the main board. So I pin tested the plug using an ohm meter and it tested good. Then I reattached the plug to the motherboard and tested it using the ac adapter and got 20V between both blue and black terminals. Then flipped the board over and I got the same results on the pins on the back of the board so power is getting to the solder points. But that is where the trail went cold.
Anyone have any ideas? I won't recommend her to buy a new motherboard at this point of even go to the expense of having it checked out which would exceed the value of this unit.
I am thinking there is a voltage regulator somewhere in between the battery and the mainboard power that might be the cause but that is above my electronic prowess.
One thing I can say is if this is not a simple fix I will guide her to look to another brand for a replacement. I have it stripped down to the mainboard and tempted to reassemble it to see if it really does charge the battery but just doesn't let you know via the charge lamp. I do know it won't run without the battery pack which has a little power left but saving it for now.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Steve

Lenovo G500s does not charge!

Hey folks,
im sorry, im probably in the wrong theard!
I have a problem with my new! Lenovo G500s.
When i have my charger on my notebook it doesn't charge. There is standing:"Network operating will not be charge".
The realy bad thing is, that wehn i didn't have my cable on my Notebook it lives not longer than about 15 minutes. After these 15 minutes my screen is black and i can not start my Notebook. I have to charge again, and wait over hours to start my notebook again.
Can someone help me?
Thank you!
Felix
ps. Sorry for my bad englisch. I hope you understand what i mean.

hi Felix,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Just to verify, when you turn off the computer and plugin the charger, can you observe the battery light indicators and see if you're able to charge the battery.
G500s Battery Status Indicators
On the other hand, 15mins battery life is very low. If you have a 100% charged battery and it only last 15mins I would recommend calling Lenovo support as there's most likely a problem with the battery.

Battery does not charge after rescue & recovery

Hi,
Yesterday I set up my computer fresh from the preload on the harddrive due to slowness, instabilities, inability to use VPN etc. After the reinstallation of OS and securiy updates, my battery does not charge anymore. The battery indicator on the front panel keeps blinking, and the Lenovo message center reports that irrepairable damage has been done to the battery and that it must be replaced.
My battery is not among the recalls by Lenovo.
Any idea if there's any option but buying a new battery? It just does not seem right that the battery is unusable after new OS setup.
Cheers, Thorbjorn

Battery does not charge, IdeaPad B590, call center is dead

At 23th December, 2013, the battery of my sons IdeaPad B59 notebook went Wrong. It does not charge. The lates update of the Lenovo softwares are installed, but it gives error messages.
I tried to call the local service center, but it does not answer. After 10-15 minutes of the mucic from the call center pfone (tried today several times!) I give up.
Does it exist ANY working contact with the local (Hungary, Budapest) Lenovo service people?
I bought the IdeaPad B590 laptop on 24.07.2013 in Budapest, and have a (possibly) valid warranty for it.
Any prompt solution?

Battery issue is covered by standard warranty as long as it is not physically damaged.
This is the Contact Number I have from Support Website
May I ask are you experiencing like it does not charge further that 58 to 60% or can you explain the issue further maybe, People here in Lenovo Forums may be able to help.

W530 battery does not charge

Hi,
I have just got a new W530 (2436CTO) with the battery (70+?), BIOS ver is 1.07. The battery does not charge even I plugged in the AC. The battery status is ok and charging on the power control panel, but there is no estimated charging time and the level has been at 4%. I have changed all types of battery control profiles but that does not work. I have even followed another fellow's example and updated in the display card, but that does not work either. I have updated every possible thing except for the BIOS of the laptop, which requires a fully charged battery to update. I hope someone who has similar experience can give me some pointers.
Thanks!
Fai

'afternoon.
the 70-series battery is correct for your machine. since it's new, i would call Service:
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?DocID=PD008370 and ask them if they'll send you a replacement battery.
if a new battery fails to charge, then it could be something amiss with the charging circuitry in the laptop, but best to take one step at a time.
regards.

IPhone 3GS no longer recognized in iTunes and does not charge via wall

I upgraded my iMac to iTunes 9.2 when it came out.
My wife then upgraded her iPhone 3GS to iOS4.
Since then it is not recognized in iTunes and does not charge via the wall adapter.
I realize this topic crosses over with several ongoing discussions, but there are no 3rd party peripherals involved here.
The only major changes to our set up have been the itunes and iOS upgrades.
The battery is running down, any ideas to fix this, or other similar experiences welcome.

Went to the Apple store and they replaced the cable.

HT1476 iphone 5 usb does not charge in my 2013 Honda Accord. Is there a fix for this issue?

iphone 5 usb does not charge in my 2013 Honda Accord. Is there a fix for this issue? It will connect via bluetooth but when I go to connect the usb charger it states that it is not compatible or you never get the charging display on your iPhone 5. It charges just fine when I use the AC charger in the house. At first I thought it may have been the cord but the same cord works fine in the house too. This causes problems when you take long trips and don't have any way to charge your phone while on the road. Are there any upcoming fixes/iupdates either to the software or usb cord that will fix this?

My iphone does not charge or show up as a device in itunes when i plug it into my computer

I've never had a problem connecting my phone to the computer, but in the last two or so weeks I have been unable to sync or charge my iphone 4 through my MacBook Pro (OSX). The phone does not charge and it does not show up in the "devices" section of itunes. The cord charges through an AC adaptor with no problems and my USB ports all work fine. I have done everything suggested so far, including deleting podcasts, restarting my computer, restarting the phone, uninstalling and reinstalling itunes... I'm not sure what else to do. Any suggestions would be very welcome!

I removed the AMDS as part of the instructions for completely removing itunes. Nothing changed unfortunately. I don't understand why it is happening!
I have already checked for lint, etc as you suggested, but don't have another USB cable on me at the moment. I'll be returning home tomorrow so will try then, but I would have thought the cable was fine as it still charges the phone through an AC adaptor fine. Thanks for the suggestions!

I have 30 pin dice silverline ipod kit in my car and 30 to lighting cable and adapter plays audio but does not charge. Is there a fix

My 30 pin dice silverline ipod kit in my car worked fine with my old iphone. it charged and played audio. I bought both 30 pin to lighting (cable and adapter) from Apple store but it does not charge. It only play audio. I have verified that both adapter and cable are working fine. Is there anything to fix this?

Apple sells a 30 pin to lightning pin adapter - you can find it on the Apple on;line store - or Amazon sell 3rd party one - but if it didnt works with your 4S which also has a 30 pin input - there may be something else wrong
