All makers charge money when out of warranty or support contract. You will just get another thing and repeat your dissatisfaction with OOW (out of warranty) experiences.
This sounds like a failed bit of hardware or possibly a non-Maker component. For battery issues I always use the maker's parts (yes, expensive at times) but the goal is to fix it. So I start with the cheapest possible parts (heresy to some!) like the CMOS battery. I do the usual removal of the big battery, the charger, hold down the power button for 60 seconds and then release, slip in the battery and apply the charger. I DO NOT turn it on but wait for the battery to charge. If it doesn't charge in this condition there is some other hardware failure.
Hi Everyone,
I wanted to grab some advice regarding my laptop. Out of the blue, my Lenovo Y50 (purchased about 3 years ago) stopped charging. I took several approaches including reseating the battery, reseating the charging port, uninstalling ACPI, and eventually replacing the battery with a new one.
1. AC adapter only - Computer turns on, but abruptly shuts off after 10-30 mins of use (gaming, Facebook, homework)
2. AC adapter only, uninstall Microsoft ACPI- Complaint Control.. - As soon as uninstall happens, abruptly shuts-off
3. AC adapter and battery - No charge, runs off battery
4. AC adapter and fresh installed battery - charges up to 40-60% - no longer charges. Charges again when reseated
I guarantee you this will be my last Lenovo, customer support asked me to pay 70$ for inspection, followed by $350+ for replacement (I am a broke college student please help).
I can't determine whether it can be a BIO issue, driver issue, charging port issue (does anyone know if Y50s allow ports to be replaced?), or a motherboard issue (I replaced the motherboard about a year ago, so I highly doubt it).
Best,
