    I have a thinkpad p1 gen 3 20th-ct01ww. Recently I've had 2 that after windows updates, it no longer detects the battery

    I have a question regarding one of these lenovo laptops. I have a thinkpad p1 gen 3 20th-ct01ww. Recently I've had 2 that after windows updates, it no longer detects the battery. I have tried rolling back the bios update and that didnt fix it. Is this something that requires modifying the original bios to fix or is it bios related at all ? Is this issue common. thanks.

      ThinkPad T470p – CMOS Checksum Error Persists After Main Battery Removal (even with new CMOS)
      by Genghis_Khan
      Hello everyone,

      I’m currently troubleshooting an issue on my Lenovo ThinkPad T470p (Type 20J6) and would really appreciate any insights or solutions.

      Issue summary:

      Whenever I remove the main laptop battery and AC adaptor, then place them back, the system gives a “CMOS checksum error” at next boot, and the BIOS clock resets to its default time/date.

      However, the RTC works fine as long as the main battery remains attached — even if the laptop is unplugged for hours. Same as I remove the battery while the AC is attached, RTC remains. Obviously,...

      ThinkPad T490s only starts with battery
      by rumpumpel1
      I am testing a ThinkPad T490s with this setup: only the bare mainboard NM-B891 with a fan and the small Power-On daughterboard as well as with a USB-C monitor (no BIOS battery!).

      If I connect a battery, the mainboard starts up normally. After about 50 seconds the logo appears and after another 30 seconds the final message “... System configuration is invalid. Press Esc to continue or F1 to enter setup”.
      If I connect the power supply unit instead of the battery, a USB meter shows the usual fluctuating power consumption for approx. 30 seconds, then the mainboard switches off...

      Lenovo ThinkPad P15 Gen2 Battery Mosfet Replacement
      by Grafnus
      Hey there,

      first time posting here. I have been lurking a bit trying to find a solution but with little to no avail.

      So I have a Lenovo ThinkPad P15 Gen2. When I got it (for free) it was turning on but not charging because the battery was unplugged. When I plug the battery in, the Laptop won't boot at all.

      Specs:
      • Type: Lenovo ThinkPad P15 Gen2 20YQ-001KGE
      • CPU, GPU, RAM work fine (not involved in the Problem)

      So the first thought was to toss the battery and get a new one, as clearly the BMS is throwing errors or something.

      Now I noticed...

      Thinkpad W541 Works from the mains and charges the battery only when it is turned off
      by bykanovm
      Lenovo Thinkpad W541 Wistron LKM-1 WS MB 12291-2 Works from the network and charges the battery only when it is turned off.
      If you press the power button, the laptop turns on and works from the battery, but does not take power from the power supply.
      If you boot into Windows and close the lid while working, thereby putting the laptop into sleep mode, the laptop begins to charge the battery.
      even checked it this way: I bring a neodymium magnet to the Hall sensor during operation - the screen goes out and the battery starts charging.
      Also, the laptop does not turn on without...

      ASUS X571 no power : battery issue?
      by mkdj
      Hello everyone,

      Mark and model: ASUS X571
      Symptoms: not turning on. There is only the LED battery indicator working. The owner of the laptop told me this problem arrived one week after having changed the battery. He then managed to power on the laptop only once, and then it never powered on again.

      Tests already made:
      - Battery is charging when laptop is plugged in. The LED battery indicator turns white after a couple of hours of charge, indicating that battery is fully charged. However, laptop won't turn on anyway, with or without AC plug.
      - I have removed...
