ThinPad Power Supply died, replaced, chaging, but computer doesn't know it's plugged in. - 12/11/20 01:13 PM
Weird problem.
The external AC-DC power supply on my ThinkPad died. I had a replacement sent via overnight.
It's recharging the battery just fine, (fronm 85% to 100%) but the computer doesn't know it's plugged in. What I mean by that is if I hover over the battery icon, it tells me 100% available but doesn't continue with "(plugged in)" like it always has.
That wouldn't be bad, but it's acting in the battery saver settings mode, putting the computer to sleep if it isn't used in 5 minutes. When plugged in it's supposed to never go to sleep.
I tried to get on the Lenovo forum, I reset my password - that worked. Then when I logged in it wants me to complete my profile, but whenever I press submit, it brings me right back to a blank complete my profile. I tried this on Firefox and Edge.
Surely there must be a way to fix this but I can't figure it out.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bob
