    battery not charging indicator


    Hello. Not sure which topic this should be posted under; please redirect me if need be.


    After updating a couple of days ago, the battery indicator says "XX% available (plugged in, not charging). I tested the battery and there doesn't appear to be any fault. I'm guessing this is a Windows glitch.


    I tried turning on and off, and then hard resetting the computer (Lenovo Ideapad) because, well, actually I have no idea what to do. I have no ideas on how to resolve.


    The battery is not removable, or rather, I would would have to unscrew and pry open the case to get to the battery, and would rather not do that.


    Can this be solved without opening the unit, and how?


    Thank you so much for your advice.

    :)

    Tablet seems dead, but battery indicator shows charged.


    I have a cheap Windows 10 (upgraded) tablet. It is a Best Buy Unbranded model UB15MS10. It has been having problems starting up and the battery seems weak even though the battery charge indicator shows near full.

    When plugged in to the charger the red charging indicator LED is off which indicates it does not need charging and is not charging, however, when I pull the usb charging cable out of the tablet the screen goes black.

    My gut tells me regardless of what the battery charge indicator says the battery is not charged, is bad and needs replacement. Before trying to find a battery and go through replacement I would like to know for sure. Can someone help me with some troubleshooting tips?

    Since this is some cheap device, I am almost 100% certain the battery is dead and needs a replacement or there is connectivity issues or the chip that switch between battery and charging power is faulty or the buck/boost converter is faulty, thus not providing stable voltages that the device needs.

    The battery indicator can say whatever as it only reflects the voltage level of the battery, not how much energy the battery really contains. This is how all batteries and indicators work. Example: the battery is rated as 5V, if voltage is above 5V indicator says it's full, if the voltage is 2.5V the battery is empty. Everything in between reflects the battery charge percentages from 0-100%.
