Y510P "plugged in, charging" but battery is not charging

Hi guys, I ran into this problem a few days ago where the laptop is plugged in, it says its charging, but the battery % won't go up at all. It started around 16% and each time I unplugged it for whatever reason it would go down but when I would plug it back in it wouldn't charge it back up. So now I'm at 8% and afraid to unplug it again. 
I have the Energy Management set to Balanced, Maximum Battery Life, and it's status is "Charging" and "Good".
Any help is appreciated, thank you guys.

hi kanyewest,
Welcome to the Forums.
Can you try the following:
1. While having the battery and AC adapter plugged-in, boot into the BIOS (by pressing F2) and unplug the AC adapter until the system shuts off (this is to compete the discharge the battery).
2. Once the machine shuts down, remove and reinsert the battery and plugin the AC adapter then let the battery charge for about 2hrs while the machine is off and observe the battery lifght indicator. After 2hrs, power up the machine and observe the battery percentage.

If the battery is stucked at 0%, I recommend you contact lenovo and report your findings as the battery may need to be replaced.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Iphone has gone to a screen to plug in itunes, but itunes does not recognise it

    I updated the software on my iphone4 and after updating the iphone has gone to a screen to plug in itunes, but itunes does not recognise it. i have reloaded itunes, done a hard reset and still nothing. any ideas?

    Gotcha,
    If you have an iCloud account you might want to consider syncing that way so you won't have to use cables but that is certainly up to you.
    Try:
    1.) Backup all your data:
    Backup your iOS device: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    Backup iCal:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    2.) Reset the computer's sync services and then restart the computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    3.) Plug in the iOS device and attempt a sync.
    --- Check the Info tab in iTunes to make sure calendars are still set to sync.
    If that does not resolve the issue let me know and I'll give you a different route.

  • Charger plugged in but battery is not charging but windows says it is charging.

    I have an HDX X18T-1100 CTO Premium Notebook 64bit with Vista Ultimate...I thought my battery was bad because when charger is plugged in the icon in system tray says" plugged in, charging" but it's not charging so I bought a new battery.  Same problem so I replaced the AC/DC plug in the computer....still the same problem... says batter at 7% (plugged in, charging) but it's not charging.  

    Hi,
    This could well be a Hardware problem with the charging circuitry, but it may be worth trying the following.
    First of all, shutdown the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter, remove the battery, and then hold down the Power button for a full minute.
    Now, plug in the AC Adapter without the battery inserted, start the notebook, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand the entry for Batteries, right click on and the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery and select Uninstall - do not uninstall anything else here.  When the uninstall is complete, shut the PC down, unplug the AC Adapter, re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and start the notebook.  Windows will reinstall the missing driver soon after logon.  Leave it to idle for a few minutes, then restart again to see if this has helped the issue at all.

  • Battery Icon Shows "18% available (plugged in, charging)" But Battery Does Not Charge

    The PC does operate on the battery only, just fine (so far, as there is only 18% remaining).
    The PC operates with AC plugged in also.
    LED by AC input is amber (looks orange to me).
    According to the User Guide that indicates charging.
    Battery Check status is "OK"
    I have had it on charge for over 12 hours and still at 18%.
    When starting up, the battery icon shows charging movement then stops at a low level.
    I measured the charger output at 20VDC (no load). Which is as specified.
    I have tried all the suggestions about uninstalling and reinstalling  the ACPI Complient Control Method.......etc.
    Removing battery, shutting down and all the rest of suggestions.
    No help.
    I was told there was a BIOS update which I installed. (I'll post about that in another board). No help.
    If I ever get this fixed it's going back to the vendor, Should not have this happen with less than 3 months since new.
    Just got it back from repair for battery latch falling off. (Back plate was changed.)
    Anything new would be appreciated.

    Hi @xdellman,
    Thank you for your query and realize how frustrating this is.
    I gathered from your post you have tried most of the troubleshooting steps to no avail.
    If you check the adapter do you notice any damaged or bent pins as this can cause charging issues?

  • Power supply LED shows orange, but battery is not charging

    Hi everyone,
    My iBook G4 seemed to stop recharging the battery. Here is the info from the system profiler and coconutbattery (when the computer is plugged to power supply):
    Battery installed: Yes
    First low level warning: No
    Full charge capacity (mAh): 3924
    Remaining capacity (mAh): 1317
    Amperage (mA): 0
    Voltage (mV): 16637
    Cycle count: 56
    AC charger (watts): 50
    Connected: Yes
    Charging: No
    The puzzling part is that the LED ring on the power supply was orange, indicating it was recharging (more on this later), but the power status icon on the menu bar showed plugged (rather than the flashing thunderbolt icon indicating recharging) and saying "Calculating...." I have reset the power management module several times, but it did not resolve the problem. The battery seems still ok based on its charge cycle (only 56), though the capacity is only 89% of its original. The computer can still run totally fine as long as it is plugged to the power supply. It looks like the computer (power management unit?) simply decided to stop recharging, even though the battery is only 33% full. Any thought? BTW, does any one know the orange LED on the power supply will show up when it is recharging, or whenever it "senses" the battery is not fully charged?
    Many thanks in advance!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    As Joshua mentions, the problem could be the power adaptor. Here's an article on troubleshooting it:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1725
    For a battery to charge, three things have to work--the battery, the power adaptor, and the DC In Board, which is what contains the power port.
    Your battery sounds OK. If you can, find a known good power adaptor to try--maybe a friend's or one at the Apple Store.
    If both the adaptor and the battery are good, that leaves the DC In Board. What often happens is that the power port eventually becomes damaged from normal use and no longer makes good contact, often due to broken solder connections. If this is the case, the DC IN Board will need to be repaired or replaced.
    Also check that the battery contacts are good and not bent or damaged.
    Good luck!

  • Adapter light GREEN but battery does not charge NEED HELP, PLEASE!

    My battery won't charge but the problem is a little different from others I have seen posted. The battery shows 3% charge but the adapter light is green. If the computer adapter is disconnected, the computer shuts down (as we would expect at 3% charge). I used another MacBook Pro cord to plug in and the same thing happens.

    I purchased this 15" MacBook Pro (Oct 2006) from a reputable non Apple Apple dealer but f course this problem started a week or so after it was out of their resale warranty. There is nothing to say "check battery" just that it is not charging. It is a trek to ANY apple dealer or reseller and it is hard for me to get there easily so I was hoping someone might have an idea what is wrong and do what I can from home. Could it just be the battery? It seems more like a problem with the adapter connection. OCCASIONALLY, the light on the adapter will flicker on orange/red for a few seconds before going to green.
    THANKS!

    The only way to tell if you have a hardware problem is to trek on down to your local AS or AASP for them to run some diagnostic tests. If it turns out to be just the battery, you can purchase directly from them. I am assuming you do not have AppleCare....
    Not sure if you can run the same tests at home. Hopefully, you have the right tools. Search through the following "do-it-yourself" sites:
    iFixit
    TakeItApart
    Also do a YouTube search. Loads of Macbook Pro +"how to"+ videos.
    Good luck!

  • I am traveling in the UAE. 220v country. Bought a plug in converter. Plugged it in but iPad will not charge. Same with Mac pro. Suggestions?

    Would appreciate suggestions.

    iPad is not voltage dependent and will chargte in 110 or 220.  What you need is a plug adapter that will let you plug your 10W charger into the wall sockests in UAE.  I may be wrong on the MacBook Pro, but I believe it too will charge on 220, with just an adapter to let you plug it into the wall sockets.
    EDIT:  I checked and I was correct on the MacBook Pro.  It too will charge on 220 V outlets.  So, you don't use a voltage adapter.  You just get an adapter that let's you plug your US plug into the wall sockets where you are......

  • My 2nd generation iPod touch will not connect with the newest version of iTunes (December 2012 update). My computer(windows7) says the device is connected when i plug it in, but it will not show up in iTunes. Can anyone help?

    As said in the question, my ipod touch will not connect to the newest version of itunes. When I plug it in, my compter recognizes that a device has been connected, yet it will not show up in itunes. I didn't have this problem until I just updated to the new itunes. Someone help please!

    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    or
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    It still could be cable or contacts in the iPod since different contacts/conductor are used for charging and data

  • Burn to disk plug in installed but it does not appear under Photo, plug ins

    I installed my first plug in for a trial, Burn to Disk. I went through install process and at end it said plug in is installed. I then go to Aperture, Photo, edit with plug ins and do not find it. What am I missing?
    thanks

    File > Export > 'Burn Masters to Disc' or 'Burn Versions to Disc'.
    Those commands will invoke the BurnToDisc dialog where you make your selections (I had run the trial but don't use it now).
    If you mount the '.dmg' file again, you will see a user's guide which you can drag to the desktop and it will explain all the options available in the dialog that gets invoked.

  • I found this IMac in front of a video store the owner said some kids wanted to sell it to him but he delcined. I plugged this in and it is not turning on does that mean it is no longer good?

    found to computers.
    1 is a Imac G3 or G4, I plugged it in but it is not working. I know the computer is the bottom round part, does this mean it is no good?
    2nd one is a Mac monitor and when turn on from the back the light in the front far right just blinks continually, is this monitor any good or do I need to attach it to a computer to see if it really works.
    I have been a PC user mostly so I am looking for some help here.

    For the computer, if it has a round white dome with an flat screen on an arm, it is an iMac G4.  When you plug it in and press the power button, does it do anything (screen comes on, makes any noise, etc...)?
    For the display, you can look here to better indentify it
    http://support.apple.com/specs/#displays
    You'd have to connect it to a computer to really see if it works.
    If these were abandoned, I'm guessing they are broken in some way.

  • Macbook Pro retina display 13 inch stopped charging. Charger LED also not on while plugged in. The battery fully drained off but the system can detect the charger when it was switched on.

    Macbook Pro retina display 13 inch 2014 model stopped charging. Charger LED also not on while plugged in. The battery fully drained off so the system can not be started but the system can detect the charger when earlier it was switched on before draining off the charge. Charger type magsafe 60W.

    Once you have examined the power inlet on the computer for dirt, and made certain that the pins on the end of the MagSafe cord are free to move in and out to make contact, there is very little you can do yourself.
    You will need to visit your Apple Store (FREE with appointment) or your Apple-Authorized Service Provider (policy varies). They work on these all the time and have good expertise and lots of spare parts to try to determine the problem.
