Yoga 13 Turns Off When Plugged In And Won't Charge

I've had my Lenovo Yoga 13 for about a year. When I plug in the laptop to charge it, it turns off and will not charge while it is off. The only way for me to turn it back on is to unplug the charger.
So I guess this is two issues in one: my computer turns off when it's plugged in and it will not charge. Do you guys think it could be caused by a bad charger or do you think it has to do with the computer? Has anyone had this happen to them?
Thanks!

What happens is as soon as I plug in the charger the computer turns off. The battery does not charge while the charger is plugged in and I cannot turn my computer back on until I unplug the charger.
When I first noticed this behavior the battery was about 80% charged and I was able to turn the computer on and use it for multiple hours, so I don't think the battery stopped working. It wasn't until I plugged my computer in again when it was charged under 10% that I realized what had happened wasn't a one time thing; my computer turned off again. I waited about an hour before I unplugged the charger and turned my computer on again. The battery hadn't been charged at all that whole time.

IPod classic won't turn off when plugged into a home theater dock; what's up? will it hurt to leave it on all the time?

I bought a new iPod Classic and it won't turn off when plugged into a home theater dock. Is this normal and will it hurt the iPod if i leave it on all the time?

Hi there,
How old is your Classic? Often, after a couple of years, rechargable batteries begin to fail, especially after such a long period of inactivity. This happens with any gadget with this type of battery.
Try leaving it plugged in for 24 hours, and try again, to rule out that it isn't just really low on charge. If this doesn't help, it may be a good time to buy a replacement. New iPod Nanos and Touches will be released this October.
Below, I've linked to an Apple website which explains rechargable batteries, and why yours may not be working.

I hope this helps, and I hope upgrading your device will not feel like an unnecessary expense. Let me know if you have any more questions,

IBook randomly turns off *when plugged in,* how long can my iBook last me?

O Sages of Mac Wisdom,
Help! I've been Googling and looking at forums all over the place for help. I have seen many posts about other iBooks shutting off randomly when they are on battery power, but have not seen any that answered questions about iBooks turning off when they are plugged in. It happened four times in the span of two and a half weeks and has stopped (no incidents for the past two weeks). I have reset my PRAM and PMU. Why would it be turning off on its own when it is plugged in?
Second question: my battery only lasts for about a 45 minutes from a 99% charge. Here's the information on it:
Battery Information:
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 1438
Charging: Yes
Full charge capacity (mAh): 1544
Health Information:
Cycle count: 95
Battery Installed: Yes
Amperage (mA): 934
Voltage (mV): 12508
I bought a new battery from ifixit.com, rated at "good" condition, and it will last for an hour until it gets to 75%, then drops down to 0% in five minutes and the iBook goes to sleep. It could be just that they gave me a crappy one, but here's the information on it anyway:
Battery Information:
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 5236
Charging: Yes
Full charge capacity (mAh): 5804
Health Information:
Cycle count: 91
Battery Installed: Yes
Amperage (mA): 962
Voltage (mV): 12511
Thoughts?
Final question: I have some extra money now, and I won't after July, when I'm done with my MA and have to break down and find an actual job (also won't have the Ed Discount after July). I want to get the most out of this iBook, but I also don't want to be screwed in a year or two and not be able to afford a new computer. In other words, do you have any estimate on how much more mileage I can get out of this one? Any past experiences anyone has had would be helpful!

Hey steck and Welcome to Apple Discussions,
Why would it be turning off on its own when it is plugged in?
Have you been on the machine when this happens? Are there any unusual symptoms when this happens?
Next:
Download Temp Monitor here and run it:
http://www.bresink.de/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
report back
There could also be a DC in board problem or a PMU problem.
Battery problem:
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 1438
Charging: Yes
Full charge capacity (mAh): 1544
That's about a third of what it should be.
The ifixit battery:
Charge remaining (mAh): 5236
Charging: Yes
Full charge capacity (mAh): 5804
That one should run it for 5 hours. It could be bad.
Did you calibrate it when you got it?

Well with your current situation, there is a big question mark. However I use and continue to use a 14" 1.2 iBook and feel very confident in it. Mostly I know the problems that can occur and have repaired all of them myself. I also repair and donate them to inner city school teachers, since I can get good deals on broken ones (or they're donated).
Sort of like this:

Computer turns off when importing CDs and converting files! HELP!

Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble importing music from CDs and converting files on my computer. The computer just turns off when I do these things and I'm really stuck as to why. Can anyone help?

I just started having the same problem. I was able to import songs from 5 cds with no problem, but when I tried a few more my mac started shutting down about halfway through the import of the song. It doesn't matter how many songs I choose to import, it happens on the first one everytime. Did you find a fix for this?

IPod won't turn off when plugged into computer! PLZ HLP!

I have an iPod touch 2g, and now whenever I connect it to iTunes, it won't turn off. It will just turn itself back on.

If you are unable to give specifics about the problem or what you need to do, it's going to be rather hard to give you recommendations or alternate suggestions.
As I said, if I recall correctly, the iPod will stay on if it's being charged. But, in case I'm misremembering, are you holding down the button until you see the red arrow that says "Slide to power off"? Have you tried restoring it?

My iPhone 4S just turned off for no reason and won't turn back on?

My iPhone 4S just died for no apparent reason and now it will not turn back on. It was at about 90% battery at the time because I had just recently charged it so I don't think it died because of low battery. I have tried plugging it into outlets and computers/iTunes and nothing seems to work. I also can't do the trick involving holding down the power and home button because my power button has been jammed for over a year now. My iPhone is about 2 years old and I have never had this problem before. Earlier today it died for no reason but when I plugged it in, it turned on with no problem.
Is there anything I can do about this? Also, I am due for a phone upgrade in about 3 weeks. I was planning on getting the 5S. Is there any way that I would be able to get the upgrade several weeks early if my phone is broken?

Hi there 203nancyc,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.

Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

[L530] Battery LED indicator turns off when plugged in

Hello. When I plug in power supply, the back battery LED indicator turns off, so after closing lid (leaving power on) I have no information whether the PC is on or off (the only back indicators are battery and sleep). Is there any possibility to change the bahavior of this LED?

ALSO, the fans are really loud when the power adapter is unplugged. Not grinding or anything, just like it is working double as hard. I unplugged it, held down the power button for 10 seconds, and it restarted ok. Caps lock light works and now i'm going to plug the power adapter in...screen goes black, illuminated keys turn off, but the backlight is still on. Plugged in, it is completely unresponsive.

IPhone 4 turns off when plugged in to charge

I have an iPhone 4 that was purchased as a refurb from an Apple store in around March this year. In the last couple of months, it has started turning itself off when it is plugged in to charge. It doesn't matter if I'm using an in-car charger, connecting it to the computer, or plugging it into a wall socket. It will stay on for a while, then if I try to use it while it's charging, it will turn off. To start it up again, I have to do a reset (holding home button and top button down until the Apple icon appears on the screen). It will sometimes do this three times in a row if I carry on trying to use it, so I end up just leaving it off.
Is there anything I can do to stop this happening? In the time it has taken me to write this, it's turned itself off three times because I've been trying to get info off it, and it's getting a little frustrating.
Many thanks!

PB turns off when plugged in?

I fell asleep with my computer not plugged in on my bed, woke up, plugged it in and it wouldn't start. Before i plugged it in, it was showing that it was asleep. I tried restarting and I got it to turn on, but as soon as it completely booted up, I plugged in the power adapter and the screen turned off, the illuminated keys stayed on. When I unplugged the power adapter, it made a sound like it was waking up. I have no idea what to do or what happened to it. Any suggestions? At this point, I'm out of ideas.

ALSO, the fans are really loud when the power adapter is unplugged. Not grinding or anything, just like it is working double as hard. I unplugged it, held down the power button for 10 seconds, and it restarted ok. Caps lock light works and now i'm going to plug the power adapter in...screen goes black, illuminated keys turn off, but the backlight is still on. Plugged in, it is completely unresponsive.

Why does my iPhone 4 turn off when plugged in?

My iPhone wont turn on unless plugged in, so I plug it in and it turns on..it says it's Wednesday Dec. 31 , 4:01 and thats wrong. It also says the battery life is at a 100% but I know that isn't right as well. It shuts off and then powers on again and repeats the same thing. I tried plugging it in to my Mac and the apple logo comes up and then goes away and that repeats over and over if plugged in.

iOS version? Jailbroken?

My computer turning off when plugging in my iphone??? Why..

Can anybody help me out here? My iphone completely turns off my computer does anybody have that problem and if so how do you fix it?

Marine78,
Have you added any card to your computer, or replaced any hardware? What power supply do you have?
A PC may shut down when something draws additional power if either the USB port is not connected correctly, or if the power supply is already overloaded and trips its own circuit breaker.
If it is restarting, and not powering completely off, do you happen to have a Logitech Webcam installed or previously installed? If so go to Logitech's website and download the latest version of their software. Many Windows XP or Vista computers will automatically restart if they get a blue screen. You could be getting a blue screen because of a software conflict with another device. This is discussed in this knowledge base article:

Hope this helps,

WiFi turning off when Ethernet connected, and not coming back on

Since about last Tuesday (possibly when I updated to Safari 7.0.6), whenever I connect my MacBook Air (2011) to ethernet, my WiFi turns off. When I disconnect the ethernet, the WiFi does not turn back on, which makes this an annoying problem. If I try to manually turn it on while Ethernet is still connected, it does the scanning animation a few times, and then turns back off. Without the ethernet, once WiFi is turned back on, it works just fine. I'm using both the Apple USB to Ethernet adapter and a StarTech Thunderbolt hub with Gigabit ethernet, and this happens with both. Everything is up to date, and the only change that coincided with this new behavior is Safari, but I don't remember if I updated it before of after the problem appeared, and I may not have noticed the problem for a few days as I don't often use my mac away from a wired connection.
Is this a known problem? Any known solution? When I search for it, all I find are people looking for ways to make the WiFi automatically toggle opposite the Ethernet, no one complaining that it's happening on its own.

Why are you turning cellular data off when you get home? If you have wifi at home, it will connect to the phone. Then, once you leave home and get out of range of the wifi, cellular data should connect automatically, you wouldn't need to turn it back on. Turning wifi off is really not necessary unless you are using it as a battery saving feature. I leave my wifi turned on all the time, as well as cellular data, and my battery lasts for quite a long time.

HT1414 My iPhone 4s turns off when i remove it from the charger, but its 100% fully charged. What is the problem?

I am on version 6.1.2 and I have replaced my battery already a couple of weeks ago, so it shouldnt be a battery problem (I guess). this happened 2 days ago at first it wouldnt charge or turn on at all and today it turned on but it turns off as soon as I remove it from the charger. At the moment its on the charger but keeps on randomly turning on and off.

One thing to try is a updating, either via iTunes or OTA, to 6.1.3 to see if that cures the problem. Also, once you've updated it set it up as a new iPhone and see how it performs then. If it's fine after that try restoring from your backup to see if the problem comes back. It could be an issue with your firmware that's currently on the phone and it might be residing in your backup
