I did inspect that connection when I had it opened. Mine has not a wire but a piece of the component's metal body exiting the power jack and bent down at 90 degrees to go through a soldered hole in...

Try3 Today's development: woke up to laptop shut down and battery at 0%. Luckily I was eventually able to be recharging, like right now, by manipulating the laptop position and the cable position.

It is, and at times I have even put the laptop up to my ear to be sure. Also, I have a temperature indicator now in the tray at all times.

I haven't replied until now because the situation changes in the extreme. E..g., there were 2 days when all was normal. Then yesterday morning not only was the power supply acting badly, but my Wifi...

Yep, the same as my original. But both with the different serial than as per your first method. So there's some aberration, right?

Well now, Denis, that leads to a very quizzical situation. In short, after having all okay for 2.5 years, one day I noticed that I was on battery - though still plugged in. This was during very muggy...

Thanks, Paul. I get this:

Nm-c101 looks just like mine.

WMIC says LNVNB161216 which looks very different.

My Lenovo L340 17API has 13 screws, just to get the cover off. So I'm asking beforehand, rather than doing time consuming experiments.

Some have told me that my flaky power connection might be...

What is the trick to this one? I've seen vids of people pulling or even prying on the wires, but that seems very wrong. But in one vid, the guy says there is a trick and works with tweezers on one...

I'm having trouble with my laptop's power supply port. It's not cheap to pay to get it replaced, and so a used MB might be cheaper. I looked on ebay by my Lenovo's name and model and found an MB that...

Okey doke. Won't do it. I'd been thinking that it it was without power, I might get it going enough at least to order a replacement online. But I bought a cheap notebook as a backup.

This seems to be undoable.

Yep, Customiser God is abandoned. But I had tried it anyway and it starts but doesn't actually work. That would have been ideal.

Excellent. Core Temp has overheat alerting and also Always On Top. I have it installed now. Cool! :) I'll also keep Speccy because it has the graphing.

I'll work my way carefully through the...

Most tell me "not supported". Only the last one works, Speccy. But that's just an ordinary window. Is there...

After endless sporadic tinkering over many days, I discovered that setting the Power Mode down to the lowest level prevents the problem from occurring. Mostly. It's interrelated to humidity and also...

My Dells all had 2 thumb latches for easy removal. This Lenovo requires disassembling the laptop. Many screws.

It's hard to see, as to whether the power is connected or not. The icon is small, and with the laptop farther away and the screen dimmed, that little bit of difference in its upper left corner is not...

Had this laptop for ~2.5 yrs. About two weeks ago, there suddenly was a day when it was still plugged in, but running on battery. Spinning the power plug in the power/charging socket did not help....

Glad I read the comments. I had free time and so was going to install this but now I won't.

Everything was more or less okay with my Win10 laptop for 1.5 years. Then suddenly after the .5GB cumulative update from April for my already installed 2004, these problems arose:

Thanks, I have been through that tutorial. No prompts are shown there, so I will take it that there will be none. Hopefully so, if no problems arise.

Or after clicking the Install Now button can I leave it run by itself and come back later after it's finished?

Is there a decent progress indicator?

2004. Thanks.
