Chosen Solution
Hello.
First of all, my notebook is the Lenovo 510s-13IKB, but I could not find that one in the selection.
I have a weird problem, where I cant start my notebook anymore without the charger being plugged into it. I already tried to hard-reset it, took out the battery, held the start-button ec. Now normally if I start it up with the charger, boot into windows but then remove it, the notebook shuts down. But weirdly enough I noticed, that when I go into the boot-menu, bios or start up Ubuntu and then remove the charger, it does not shut down. Then again, if it goes to sleep or shuts down again I wont be able to start it up again without the charger.
I`m out of ideas at this point, hoping for help.
Hi @hawkisdead , As a first step I suggest that you check if the battery is charging properly when the charger is connected. If not the battery may need replacing. Here’s a link to the service manual for your model Ideapad. Scroll to p.21-22 to view the procedures for checking the charging and the battery pack. Scroll to p.35 to view the necessary pre-requisite steps and then the procedure to remove/replace the battery pack. On p.70 item #11 you’ll find the part numbers for all the batteries available for your particular model Ideapad. Searching online using the part number only will give results for suppliers of the part.
