The battery is built-in and not easily removed, so I didn't disconnect it. But I did uninstall the battery drivers in the Device Manager and rebooted. I did check the Lenovo battery settings and "Conservation Mode" is "Off". I've tried everything. It did this yesterday and - for no apparent reason - started charging again. Now, it's back to "Battery plugged in, not charging". It's a new laptop I've had for less than a week. What's going on and what can I do to fix this?
Lenovo Ideapad: Battery plugged in, not charging?
Cassandra says
Some Lenovo Thinkpads have a mode to extend battery life before replacement that holds charge to about 70%.
That would explain the issue.
It's within battery setup.
Removing the battery drivers can badly muck-up some laptops including Lenovo.
