Re: Lenovo 320-151AP

Hi All, Well I bought a new battery, fitted in and started to boot, no flashing light, got to user name and password, and yes it started to flash again. I can test a few things but unable to change a chip, not experienced in that yet. Could this have anything to do with windows, silly question I know, only it was doing it with charger plugged in no battery, then next time I tried it, mains adaptor only no flashing. So ordered battery, have not taken board out yet, as maybe a bad cap on the other side, maybe have to ring Lenovo, but last time they were useless,...

Re: Lenovo 320-151AP

Hi All, Thank you all for the help.I have been checking things out, first of all the charger seemed faulty as I could not get any output, but this was possibly because of no load as I knew it worked, but all sorts of things were happening.
So decided to strip it down again, the light was flashing with charger I or removed, I tried to inject a charge into battery, but would not take it, so I connect the mains charger without battery, as before it worked fine, but the little orange light this time was not flashing, and all was working fine, except for a...

Hi, The battery connector still connected,
2 x reds = 07.60 volts

[QUOTE=Bazza;1183657]Hi, I am hoping that some can please help. My laptop has an orange light flashing rapid on the charge port. If I start from battery only it starts flashing, have tried, disconnecting battery but as soon as charger plugged in it starts flashing. Battery is fine and charges to 100%, have drained to 5% and took 5 hrs, drained excess power with battery disconnected but still does it. Could this be something to do with the power management chip. Everyone says it's a battery problem, so installed Vantage from Lenovo and it finds nothing wrong....

Hi All, I have a prob with the screen, will try and get a couple of pictures up if i can. When i turn on i get only a third of the picture, the middle part has lines running down and right hand end is just blank. If it is left switched on for half an hour really hot, then turned off and back on i get full screen. I did reseat the ribbon cable and it was ok for about two minutes.
When you do get a full picture, there is a flickering around the right hand end and near the middle.
I really appreciate you guys, as you allways come up trumps for us oldies, i am not a tv engineer and x...
