Lenovo Z560 laptop battery charge drops from 50% down to 7% suddenly. And after that, i need to charge the laptop where it gets charged till 99% only. What is the problem i am facing now?. I purchased the laptop 4 months back and it is still new.

Do you still have the old battery. If so charge it, and see if it charges properly. If so then you have a bad battery.

Sounds like you need a new battery. Click here to purchase you battery.

Bad battery? Is the battery a replacement? Test cord/charger.

The battery might be nearing the end of it's useful life and needs to be replaced. The battery only lasts for so long then it has to be replaced.

Buy a battery on ebay base on your computer's Make and model, not the model of the battery.

if you keep the mains charger plugged in all the time then this can cause the battery to heat up. if you use the laptop in the same position all the time then try removing the battery for use or when the battery is fully charged then remove the charger, this will also preserve the lifespan and battery operation.hope this is of help to you,

Hi

You need to go to Lenovo Ideapad Support and download the latest drivers for your computer.

Just select the Operation System your computer use and in category select all.

Hope this will help you

When the battery is fully charged and you still have the ac adapter plugged in then the battery would no longer be charged. The computer would then be running on ac adapter power.


hope this helps

Your battery is at or nearing it's lifespan. Get a replacement battery.

Hi smialkovskyi,

With this specific concern that you do have, unable to turn on your Lenovo Z560, there 3 components that need to be checked. Your battery, the AC adapter (charger) and as well as the DC In port.

1.Based on what you have said, with the battery alone you have noticed that it's led indicator will show however still can't turn on system. Battery seems to be in good condition however no enough charge to turn on the system.

2. For your AC adapter, when you're using it without the battery nothing happens. To check if this is defective try using another AC adapter that is compatible to your unit. If your computer turned on using another AC adapter then your charger needs replacement. (You may also try using your charger to other unit where it is compatible, just to test).

3. However, if after doing the previous instruction and still system won't turn on then it could be the DC In port which is defective. This port is built in to *********** board.

After doing all these you need to contact Lenovo. They might be replacing your charger or *********** board if system is under warranty.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for using Fixya.
