Hi smialkovskyi,

With this specific concern that you do have, unable to turn on your Lenovo Z560, there 3 components that need to be checked. Your battery, the AC adapter (charger) and as well as the DC In port.

1.Based on what you have said, with the battery alone you have noticed that it's led indicator will show however still can't turn on system. Battery seems to be in good condition however no enough charge to turn on the system.

2. For your AC adapter, when you're using it without the battery nothing happens. To check if this is defective try using another AC adapter that is compatible to your unit. If your computer turned on using another AC adapter then your charger needs replacement. (You may also try using your charger to other unit where it is compatible, just to test).

3. However, if after doing the previous instruction and still system won't turn on then it could be the DC In port which is defective. This port is built in to *********** board.

After doing all these you need to contact Lenovo. They might be replacing your charger or *********** board if system is under warranty.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for using Fixya.

Kind of vague. It could be the port on your laptop where the charger plugs into. It could be bad, or could have a bad connection to the motherboard due to use or manufacturing defect. When the charger stops charging then it has to use the battery power. This morning the battery may have had a low charge causing the laptop to shut down. Did you notice the battery's power level before it shut down? If you are wiggling the end of the charger that is plugged into your laptop to get it to start charging again, then that is most likely your problem. Do not wiggle it , for it could fry your motherboard. If that is the case then that port needs to be re-soldered.

Hi Roger,

There are a couple of problems that may be causing your laptop not to charge, the most likely are listed below.

1) Ensure that the battery icon in the bottom right hand corner has a picture of a plug next to it.

If this is not showing there is a problem with the connection between the charger and the laptop. This can be checked by "wiggling" the connector between the laptop and the charger to see if it shows the plug symbol in any position.

The charger can be ruled out as a problem by borrowing a friends charger if they have one to see if that works and to try your charger on their laptop.

2) Ensure that the battery icon in the bottom right hand corner does not have a picture of a red cross.

If this is showing it indicates a problem with the laptops battery and will need to be replaced in the near future. Unplugging and plugging the charger back in can sometimes remedy this but it is only a temporary solution.

3) If none of the above work it is also worth powering off the laptop completely and removing the battery overnight. Then trying to charge the battery the following morning. This can give the laptop time to "reset" itself and cool down.

It is most likely a problem with the battery as they tend to have a shorter lifespan than the chargers (unless the charger is physically damaged by cutting the cable)

should find out why the original charger stopped working in the first place... was it a faulty mother board really. anyway if the ratings on the charger you bought are for that laptop indeed, then it should power up the laptop minus the battery. ofcourse if you put in charger minus battery, dont expect it to show the charging led..just try to power it on
Regards

Thee battery is fully discharged. It may take an hour on the charger before this goes away.

Try removing the battery (instructions in your manual). Now run the computer with just the new charger. Does this work? Try holding down the power button for 10-20 seconds.

dear
you have mentioned that ur phone is charging and not getting on. that means ON\OFF path is having problem .due to dry solder of ON\OFF switch its happening. please resolder it and then check it
