Hello,
I'm looking for help regarding a Lenovo Z510 Laptop I purchased in December of last year. I've had the laptop for approximately 9 months now with no issues whatsoever. My first experience with Lenovo was going smoothly, big fan of the machine.
In the last week, however, I've begun to experience significant issues with the laptop's battery. Issues began when the laptop stopped sending my low battery notifications (It used to send them at 14% and 7%, for low and critical respectively). After these messages stopped, the laptop began shutting itself down intermittedly, much to my lament. In the next several days, I noticed the laptop's inability to read the battery charge correctly; the battery icon in the lower left corner of the screen would either stay static at 100%, 0%, or drain very slowly or charge very quickly. Needless to say, I'm a little frustrated that a machine of 9 months would be experiencing such severe issues.
After doing extensive reading, I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the battery drivers, recalibrating the battery by allowing the computer to drain to zero and charge itself back up, and running the Gauge reset on the Lenovo Energy Manager. Despite all of this, the laptop is still having issues with the battery. I've read others have been experiencing the same issues, so I'm hoping desperately there's some kind of fix without me having to send it away for repairs (it's still under warranty).
Any replies/assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
. my battery charge level is actually droping now which it would always stay the same before
