Hey everyone, I am new here and have a little issue that I need assistance with.

My Z580 system is little over one week old and today when I went to charge my laptop I was greeted with a plugged in, not charging message on the battery icon when I hovered my mouse over it. However, when I click the icon it starts charging so I am guessing there is no problem with the battery and AC adapter but I'm guessing there maybe a setting that requires me to click the battery icon to kickstart the charging proccess, am I correct?

Is there anyway of changing this problem or is there actually a problem with my battery or AC adapter?

Hi,

there's no problem with the battery.

İt's in the settings

plenty of threads here about it.

İf power management  is set to optimize for battery health

it will be locked there at 50% charge.

Write charging issue on the search box above(NOT google's)

and  info re this will be listed there.
