Thinkpad E330 battery

Hi,
i have a Thinkpad e330, which is 2 years old. I wanted to buy a new battery, so I searched for a battery in the Lenovo store. The german lenovo store lists the "0A36290" battery if you choose the e330 in the dropdown list. So I bought a "0A36290" battery, but my laptop does not accept this battery. It says:
"This system may not support batteries that are not genuine Lenovo-made or authorized. The system will continue to boot, but may not charge unauthorized batteries.
Attention: Lenovo has no responsibility for the performance or safety of unauthorized batteries, and provides no warranties for failures or damaging arising out of their use."
Is the battery broken? Or is there a way to use this battery with the e330? Or which battery would work?
Alexander

Hi Alexander,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with battery not genuine on your ThinkPad E330.
The FRU number of the battery is correct and it is supported for ThinkPad E330, but it may differ from MTM (Machine Type Model) number.
Can you provide the bar code of the battery so that we can verify it once?
Below is the list of battery Part number.
45N1043 - SMB C01 SANYO 6cell 2.2Ah
45N1045 - SMB C01 Simplo 6cell 2.2Ah
45N1049 - SMB C01 LGC 6cell 2.2Ah
45N1051 - SMB C01 SANYO 6cell 2.8Ah
45N1053 - SMB C01 Simplo 6cell 2.8Ah
45N1055 - SMB C01 LGC 6cell 2.8Ah
45N1057 - SANYO Duton 6cell

ThinkPad E330 can't get into BIOS anymore

I tried to install Ubuntu on a Thinkpad E330 that had Windows 8 preinstalled, from a USB key. It was a 32 bits version of Ubuntu, just for a trial. I accessed the EFI bios from W8, shifted to legacy BIOS mode and installed Ubuntu w/o any problem, on a set of separate partitions. Works like a charm (although I would like to shift to 64 bits).
The problem is that I would now like to go back to EFI mode to access W8 and install a 64 bits version of Ubuntu for EFI but I cannot access the BIOS anymore to put it back to EFI mode. Although the screen says "press F1 key to enter BIOS" or "Press Enter to interuupt normal boot process", the F1 Key does not work, the Enter key does no better.
I found plenty of posts of people in a similar situation, that tried to clear CMOS (does not work) and all ultimately point to the user "someotherguy" that apparently saved them. I tried to pm him but he does not react to my private messages.
Is there anybody else that could help me here ?
Thanks
Thomas
Solved!
Go to Solution.

For those who like me could not access their BIOS because they put it in Legacy mode:
I must first thank someotherguy for his help.
After different trials, the success was reached by opening the thinkpad (3 little screws) and the CMOS battery. The reboot gave me access to the BIOS and I shifted it back to UEFI mode and thus regained access to Windows 8 (and therefore to the BIOS again).
I will now proceed with Ubuntu installation...in UEFI mode (as I intended initially but did not do because I has a 32 bit version of ubuntu already on a USB key).

Ethernet over HDMI from ThinkPad E330 to Samsung TV

Hello:
I need to know if my lenovo ThinkPad E330 with HDMI 1.4 port can send ethernet over HDMI 1.4 EC cable to a new Samsung TV with HDMI 1.4a port, or vice versa. The TV has DNLA and other internet features.
Thanks

In principle, HDMI 1.4 includes EC in it's standard, but it's pretty uncommon AFAIK.

ThinkPad E455 Battery Reduced to 80% when Power Off in One Week

Previously, I have a problem with my relatively new ThinkPad E455 battery. The battery drains when the laptop is powered off (see https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-11e-Windows-E-and-Edge/ThinkPad-E455-Excessive-Battery-Drains-When-Power-Off/m-p/2105732 ). I have updated my BIOS and power manager to overcome the problem.
Recently, I was on a holiday and I turned off my laptop for one week. Before I turned off my laptop, the battery gauge shows 100% of battery capacity. Today, when I turn on my laptop, the battery gauge shows 80% of battery capacity, even though I did not use the laptop for seven consecutive days. The power drains is not as excessive as the previous one as I described in https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-11e-Windows-E-and-Edge/ThinkPad-E455-Excessive-Battery-Drains-When-Power-Off/m-p/2105732 but this problem really bothers me. Is there something wrong with the battery? Or perhaps some other configuration? FYI, I have updated the BIOS to the latest version.

sgegreen wrote:
At this point I have to assume one of very few possibilities: 1. The 1.17 BIOS fix for power to the USB ports doesn't work, 2. The Computrace code in the BIOS is waking the laptop up daily to call its manufacturer's server, or 3. Something else on the motherboard remains powered and causes the leakage. Our E555 isn't left powered off for long so we haven't noticed the problem. To eliminate the above possibilities, you could try removing the battery after switching the E455 off and replacing it when you need to switch the laptop back on. This would tell you if the battery discharges even when removed from the laptop. If it does, the battery is probably faulty, lithium batteries are usually good at retaining their charge.I hope that the newer BIOS version will be released soon. As for number 2, what does "The Computrace code in the BIOS is waking up the laptop..." mean? Can I disable it? It will be good if nothing is waking up my laptop when it is off.
I am considering to remove the built-in battery (ThinkPad E455 only has one battery, and it is built-in), but the user manual says that the battery removal should be done by a technician. I am afraid that removing the battery myself can cause a damage and violating the warranty (my laptop is less than 6 months old). If there is a user manual or videos or anything helpful about removing the built-in battery for ThinkPad E455, perhaps I will try it.

Thinkpad X230 Battery issues

It's been about 5 months since I started to use my Thinkpad X230. Only three days ago it could work for 5-6 hours without charging. I could charge it at home, bring it to school and use it without charging. But suddenly the battery started to die in a short amount of time. Then I explored the battery settings a little bit. I found out it says "Battery Condition: poor" and "Your battery can 47% of its original full charge capacity."
It has warranty until 2015. So can Lenovo send me a new battery if I want so? Or is it a problem that warranty doesn't cover? Please help!!

If you are running WIndows 7 on your X230, go into Power Manager and find the Battery Maintenance function. Then run a Reset cycle on the battery and see how it comes up.
The microprocessor in the battery can get out of sync with the battery capacity the X230 think should be available and that can cretae the sort of issue you have described. Resetting the battery will resync the on board micrprocessor in eth battery with the expected battery capacity in Power Manager.

Thinkpad W530 Battery Problem

Hi everyone,
The little latch on my thinkpad W530 is broken, resulting the battery to be loose sometimes. My thinkpad warranty is still active, and I want to know if lenovo can provide me with a new battery.
Here is a picture of the battery.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Chances are if you don't have accidental warranty, they won't replace it.
I broke the same latch on my W520, and it doesn't seem to cause issues other than the battery being a little bit loose. I just used a bit of tape to attach the battery to the machine.

Lenovo Thinkpad T510 Battery?

I recently (about 2 months ago) purchased a Lenovo Thinkpad T510 laptop. Ever since I got it, I have the brightness on 50%, and only use it to surf the internet. My battery life is 2:50 at the maximum.
I have a warrenty for the laptop, could I call in and get another battery for free?
It is quite inconvienent to have to charge and recharge at least twice every day. It makes portability almost impossible.
Solved!

Do you have discrete graphics? If so, it sounds about right for an untweaked system. There are a few tricks to battery life optimization with the NVidia GPU involving PowerMizer.
http://somemorebytes.com/wp/index.php/software/nvpmmanager/
Enable PowerMizer, and use Max power save on battery.
Also put your CPU into the lowest speed in Power Manager's advanced mode (battery only; AC should be adaptive).
Also, defrag.

Thinkpad R52 - Battery blinking all the time, not charging

Hi,
My laptopt IBM thinkpad R52 not charging battery (always blinking in orange led), I tried to replace the battery by a new one and charging all night but unfortunately the problem persists, the same problem.
Always the battery led is blinking.
Any suggestion? What do you think?
I don't have any idea what is the problem?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum!
If the second battery is a *known good* example that charges in another machine, then the charging circuit on the motherboard has been damaged.

Thinkpad 570 battery

I have a really nice 570 with charger and external floppy drive but unfortunately it has a dead battery. Might anyone know where I can get a good battery? I am afraid of the ones being sold on eBay.
Thanks,
Tom

I feel your pain. it's been years since I've had a 570/E with any type of working battery, and I absolutely love these machines.
eBay, as always, is a hit or miss. You might get lucky and find NOS (new old stock) ones once in a blue, but you have to keep looking. And, with NOS batteries, life is questionable. But I'd take that over any refurbed or no-name brand.
Good luck.

Thinkpad 390X battery

Hi.
Is there any way to get 390X battery in Russian Federation from Lenovo distributors ?
Or i have to try to find it from ex-390X owners ?

Welcome to the forum!
IBM stopped producing batteries for your machine a couple of years ago, so chances of getting a new one from Lenovo are slim to none.
Watch for NOS ( new old stock) units on eBay...and hope that the seller is willing to ship to Russia....
Good luck.

Serious problem of thinkpad T430s' battery!

When I use the battery as the power of my laptop, it always shutdown abnormally before the battery reach the “critical low battery alarm”.For example, I set the power manager to sleep when the battery lower than 10%. However, it will out of power when the battery reaches 12-13%. It wasn’t a normal shut down, it suddenly goes down without any alarm. It seems that the power been cut down by someone. My laptop is a new thinkpad T430s, it seems something wrong with the battery. I try to Perform Reset the battery, but it still not work.

Hello! I'm owning also a t430s with a battery fromPanasonic. My operating system is GNU/Linux (Archlinux, with self compiled kernel 3.6.0-rc5). Are your ThinkPads include a Sanyo or Panasonic battery? I will contact Lenovo support today or tomorrow and ask them to send my a new battery from a differnt manufacturer. I hope this is just a bug in the battery firmware or hardware and not the in the UEFI or hardware of the ThinkPad itself. I opened a bug at bugzilla.kernel.org but now I'm sure this is not a bug in the Linux kernel! Seems like battery beliefs it has 7 % to 10 % more capacity than it really has and reports also to high capacity through "/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/energy_now". The file "energy_now" reports to me 3500000 mWh (3,5 Wh) at the very moment it losts all power, which should be enough for 20 minutes or more.

Thinkpad T60 battery sudden drop

Hey,
I bought a T60 Sep 2007. Recently I am having a problem with battery life.(My battery is not on the list of recall)
My battery life went down drastically. It used to be a couple of hours, now it's less than half an hour. Power mangment reports a copule of hours remaining, until it gets down to about 85%-90%, and then suddently drop to 5% and a few minutes remaining.
I seldom use battery and most of time use AC. Interstingly, after charging my battery to 20% or 30%, it can last for half an hour or so. So I suspect there is something wrong with software rather than a physical problem.
Any comments or solutions?

That type of behaviour is typical if one or more cells in the battery are bad. You should look into replacement options.
What condition does Power Manager report for the battery?
Good luck andlet us know.

George
