Hello all,
A few days ago, my laptop battery display showed that it was no longer charging. My first thoght was a charger related issue, so I switched off the laptop (after battery drained and was at 7%).
First I checked the charger fuse, which seemed to be working fine. Then I went to a local shop and tried a couple of new chargers on my laptop. It didn't seem to be charging. I decided it was a power supply/motherboard issue.
I plugged in my charger (just out of instinct) and switched on my laptop to backup some data, etc. before servicing it. It switched on normally, and the battery showed 7%, I was in a hurry to transfer some data to the cloud/harddrive, as it turns out the laptop kept going despite being at 7%. I managed to use it for more than an hour, now I started to think it was a driver issue/display issue. So I looked up some threads and uninstalled the Lenovo Power manager and tried rebooting my computer. I couldn't switch it back on. Now I'm confused as to what he problem is.
- Is it a power supply issue relating to motherboard?
- should i get my charger checked throughly?
- was my battery showing incorrect amount of charge left?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. The servicing costs are ridiculous, so id like to make sure before I give it away.
