Do you still have the original Lenovo battery? Does it charge at all? I realize that you are probably replacing the battery because it's not holding a charge very well, but does it still charge at all? If it does and the non-Lenovo battery does not then my conclusion would be that this new battery is either defective or incompatible.
I do, but what happened was that it didnt hold the charge.
But I read a post about this and tried and it solved the problem, as you can see in my previous post.
Apparently the Lenovo batteries have a chip that the laptop recognizes and the non OEM lenovo ones dont.
but by doing what i mentioned solved the issue.
Ah yes, I understand. My apologies. I didn't realize that the update meant that those steps solved the issue. I thought that you were simply listing what you had tried.
Glad you got it working.
