This is a setting in you BIOS. Try changing to AUTO under the SATA drive settings by pressing F key during boot. It will be noted on screen during startup.

I would stay away from a OS upgrade till your are certain all hardware and software is compatible. It is a lot of work if it does not work properly.

Lenovo z570 screen blank when boots

Could be many issues, you need to give more information. Mine lenovo does the same thing when it boots. You might just need to wait for a little longer for the desktop top come up.

Other than that, you might need to reinstall Windows.

Display text when pressing caps lock

That's something that can be changed in your Bios, I believe. I'd give Lenovo tech support a call at 1-877-453-6686 for more info. :)

Power cord light is yellow not green

Hello,Yellow means your battery charge is low, and it is being charged.


Green means you have a full battery charge.


So probably it seems your battery is out of juice. Keep it on charges & it should be fine.

If there is nothing changed, you may need to exchange the laptop charger.

Lenovo Ideapad Z570: Battery indicator shows the Power is plugged in & charging. But the Battery charge percentage doesn't increase. How to fix this?

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.
