Lenovo G710 Battery not detected in Windows 8.1 64 bit

Hi there,
I have the Lenovo G710. I haven't used the battery for a while now and  I use the laptop by connecting the powerlead directly to mains power outlet.  I decided today to plug the battery in. The battery indicator lights up.
Windows 8.1 does not detect the battery and it states "No Battery Detected".
What i have tried:
I have installed all the latest Windows Updates and it still doesnt detect the battery.
I even installed the latest chipset drivers for this laptop and it still doesnt detect it. The only update i cannot install is the BIOS update because it states that "Battery Not Detected".
I uninstalled the following from Device Manager: Microsoft ACPI compliant Control Method Battery. Switched off the laptopRemoved the battery packRemoved the AC power lead from the laptopHeld the power button for 30 seconds to drain the batteryReconnect the battery packReconnect the AC power leadTurn the laptop on.Battery not detected.
Can anyone assist what i could do next please?

bump!

  • S540 Battery not detected in Windows 10

    HI All,  Just upgraded to Windows 10, but I'm now finding out that the new Lenovo Companion or even the Lenovo Settings app will not detect the battery. I've installed the System Interface foundation etc. but to no avail. Battery is no longer charging to 50% , but to full and is no longer detected at all.  Have any of you seen this happen too?  

    Good day and welcome to the community.
    Please see the discussion in this thread:

  • Qosmio G10-133 - Battery not detected following Windows 7 upgrade

    Hello, I hope someone can help my frustrations here.
    Over the last couple of weeks I have successfully upgraded my laptop to Windows 7, increased memory to 2gb, purchased new laptop power lead, brand new battery and and resolved every issue that Windows 7 threw at me. The laptop and works like a dream other than one issue that seems to have got worst.
    The laptop no longer recognises the new battery.(picture of battery with cross through it and a power plug) For approximately a week after installing the battery it worked okay but now will not detect it all. I have no errors in the device manager and windows has recognised the ACPI battery entries etc and has no issues. I have also loaded the Toshiba value added package that Windows 7 found for me but still nothing. The battery does not even charge although sometimes the battery works for around 30 secs on boot up if the battery is removed and put back in, and then stops again (once Windows has loaded) I have tried numerous things like disabling driver, reinstalling battery etc but nothing. I did try the battery iniitally with Windows XP and worked fine.
    I have also searched the web and have seen many other laptops with Windows 7 have had this problem, including Toshibas. Some say update the BIOS but Toshiba have not released an upgrade since the original one in 2004 (which is for WIn XP Media Center) and there are no settings in my BIOS for ACPI etc.
    Also, I cannot calibrate the battery as I cannot do anything with it. I dont think this is an issue though.
    If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it or any links to any drivers etc.
    If this is sorted my laptop should last for another 5 years!
    Thanks for reading this.

    Hi
    First of all I doubt that many other notebooks with Windows 7 have this issue. I never heard about this and normally the battery charging will not be controlled from the OS. It happens automatically and your battery will be charged if the AC/DC is plugged in. So the OS doesnt affect this!
    To be honest I also dont know why your battery isnt detected but what happens if you power off the notebook and leave the AC/DC adaptor connected for 24 hours? After this it should be possible to work on battery minute for 1 hour or more.
    If not it seems to be a hardware issue Maybe the battery doesnt work properly anymore and should be replaced. You should contact the dealer where you purchased it
    By the way: Here are some nice and interesting tips about battery:

  • Battery not detected after windows install. Batteries tab missing in device manager too

    My eM250 still charges fine but I have no way to see how much juice I have left. no after market meters or anything like that has helped. How can I fix such an odd problem?

    iluvwhtchix,
    I've looked at the quick start and service guide and do not see a standby button, what am I missing? LoL 
    It just sounds like there are some drivers that did not install, was this with the media that was sent from eMachines? There might be a drivers disc that could resolve the issues, if so. You can always go check to see if you have the right drivers on our eMachines support page.

  • IPod Touch, not detected in Windows or iTunes...

    First of all, hello to everyone...
    i want to say that i read a lot EVERYWHERE about my issue and still i couldnt find a solution...
    the problem is easy, i have a 3rd gen ipod touch, OS 4.2.1 now fully working... but, it's not detected in windows or itunes, as simple as that, and as u all have read in lots of other posts...
    my ipod is now working because i took it to an apple store and they charged it in a MAC and they had no problem at all. the MAC detected the ipod, with all its content and my ipod's name...
    but when i took it home -this has been hapenning since maybe... 5 MONTHS!-, i plug it in my PC and nothing happens...
    ok, first of all, my spec... win vista home premium 64 bits, last version of itunes...
    i tried ALL the solutions provided in APPLE official support page, and nothing happens... that means:
    1- completely uninstall itunes and then reinstalling it... i ALSO FORMATED my entire hard drive twice!!!!
    2- tried all USB ports and even an entirely different PC and nothing happened
    3- bought 3 different IPOD to USB cables and nothing happened
    4- tried setting ipod to restore, that way itunes SOMETIMES detected the ipod but i coulnt restore because of different error codes, so i had to take it several times to apple store to "unblock" it...
    the only way it works -detection and charge- is with MAC computers or dock systems such as an iHome my gf has thats the way im charging it now, but otherwise it wont work...
    i would really appreciate any help, since idont know what else to do!!
    thx in advance!!

    HI I was having some other problems getting my itouch to restore because it was not being recognized in itunes and kept erroring out. Now it has finally restored after I updated all kinds of drivers and removed and reinstalled itunes and apple software a million times,(yes this is all after installing itunes 8.1 and paying for an itouch upgrade as well) Now itunes says it cannot do anything with the ipod because it is getting an invalid response from the device. So it won't put anything back on my itouch or even show that I have plugged it in. I emailed tech support, If I find anything out I'll let you know, will you do the same for me?

  • My early 2011 MacBook Pro says battery not detected and does not work with a new battery either. Works only with the charger plugged in.

    About a year back i had replaced the MLB of my early 2011 macbook pro and it was all working fine. A month back my battery went dead saying "Battery Not Detected". I went to Ample technologies, Bangalore, India and gave it for diagnosis. Ample technologies are the authorized Apple support service in Bangalore, India. After 3 days and no phone calls they email me that "They feel that the MLB MIGHT be the problem and they want to test it by replacing the MLB and i have to pay for their testing". I had already spent 40k indian rupees ($700) less than a year back to replace an MLB and now they want to replace it again at the cost of 43k ($750) indian rupees. I have no idea what to do now. Spending 80k indian rupees ($1400) in less than a year to replace the MLB twice sounds unfair to me. Can someone help me out here ? Is there a valid warranty period applicable , since i have changed the MLB a year back ?

    short of doing a SMC reset, you maybe at their mercy.

  • Airplay not detected in windows 7 itunes.

    Airplay not detected on windows itunes even after windows update. Security & windows firewall not an issue. Please assist in re-installing the airplay option in my windows 7 itunes.

    I, too, have the same problem. I have read multiple posts, but nothing works. It all began with an iTunes update. Airplay, my ATV, home sharing, and Apple Remote all worked. Now, everything that is dependent on iTunes does not work.
    They are all on the same network.  I have checked it and changed it multiple times. My ATV retrieves photos from my Win 7 HP computer fine, but iTunes might as well not exist. The ATV won't see iTunes through home sharing. None of my AirPlay devices are recognized by iTunes. There isn't even the icon. Remote doesn't recognize the iTunes library either.
    I have reinstalled iTunes several times. Shut down and restarted everything several times. On two occasions, it all worked for a short time, so I know it can work. But I can't replicate that, no matter what I do.
    I have disabled Norton security (and updated it). No difference. I shouldn't have to remove it since it all worked before the iTunes update. That's why I believe it is an iTunes issue. It once worked. Everything else works.

  • ITunes 11.1.4 will not install properly - windows 8.1, 64 bit.  My only way to recover is to restore my system.  iTunes 11.1.3.8 functions properly.  When will Apply provide a workable update?

    iTunes 11.1.4 will not install properly - windows 8.1, 64 bit.  The only way I have found to recover is to restore my system.  I have unistalled/reintalled iTunes two times.  No success.  iTunes 11.1.3.8 functions properly (following system restore).  When is Apply expected to provide a workable update?

    Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
    Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
    If you still have the same error messages cropping up, then try the procedures from the following user tip:
