I'm trying to move the easier hardware stuff there so that I can focus on the more in depth troubleshooting and diagnostic videos here :)

*For the people that can't or don't want to take the battery out, try this:*
1) leave it plugged in
2) shut down
3) hold down power button (wherever it may be) for 30 seconds
4) after the 30 secs, it should turn back on by itself, if not, turn it back on
5) unplug the part on the outlet, not the part on your computer
6) wait a few seconds, and if u can, plug it in somewhere else
done! :D it should be back to normal now, just gotta wait for it to charge to a full 100%
note: for some, it should work after step 4. if not, theres step 5 & 6
all of this worked for me, and i really hope it will work for you too~ good luck!! 👍

I swear man. This is one of the most informational videos about this topic out there! All it took was one minute and BAM. Everything all fixed! Thank you so much!

[tiffaniwhitlatch]

Thank you so much! I was literally in tears because Lenovo wouldn't help me and no other videos were of any help...I followed what you did and it is charging again. You are awesome!

Thanks! I really appreciate you providing the community with these instructions. I had no inkling about the static buildup.

Thanks man my mum almost killed me when she found out my laptop isn't charging

[snsinbc]

Thank you, holding the power button down fixed it, thank you!

Thanks man my father would've been so angry if it wasn't for your help.

Thank so much! You've really saved me. Battery almost went flat. It was the driver update for that worked.

[jacobjohnson]

Thank you, you saved me from a situation that I thought was going to be impossible to fix myself. I was doubtful that it would work, but was desperate so tried the static discharge without taking the battery out (wanted to avoid that part if possible), and it worked!! Thanks again!

My laptop was sitting on top of a blanket as I was first watching this. I had to do the static discharge several times before it worked. Now I know better and my battery is back at 100%. Thanks!

For anyone who doesn't have the correct screwdriver you can try this:
1) Let the laptop discharge completely (when you try to turn on the laptop must give no signs of life and if it does, click the power button until it's completely off).
2) Hold the power button for 1 minute no matter what screen you see.
3) Turn the laptop on with the charger attached

Now you should see the battery charging correctly.

This worked for me at least 👍

Super helpful, thank you so much. mine was the static build up issue and it was sorted right after i used the method you explained :)

[ThePanoogie]

Thank you so much. My daughters school Lenovo laptop is only a couple of months old and it stopped charging. Getting rid of the static fixed the problem. I used your other video to help me remove the battery too.

[alexesh]

First option worked, had my laptop for 2 months, glad to see it alive again. Deserved a like for the fast explanation. Was also very easy to open and remove.

[RobEsco]

Thanks!! The static was definitely the problem, you’re first solution worked 👍🏾

[jakkuniku]

Thank you bro! So glad I stumbled onto this vid. You just saved me a lot of money and troubles! The static discharge did the trick! Thank you thank you

[tatianas]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I got a brand new laptop recently and a couple days ago it stopped charging. I tried troubleshooting and nothing really seemed to work. This helped soooo much!
