Unable to run off battery power, even though battery shows fully charged and AC is unplugged
It's time for you to replace your battery.
how old is your laptop? and how do u use it - do u leave it plugged into the wall socket all the time? It's common for batteries to die out after a couple of years. however, if the computer overheats or if you leave it plugged in all the time, it's life cycle will decrease. Charge - discharge cycles. That's how you are suposed to do it.

Batteries have a memory,
When the battery was new it most likely would run for 1.5 hours, but, since you didn't want the computer to go off, and you were by a plug-in, you plugged it in before it was completely or maybe sometimes not even halfway discharged. That is where it stated its "memory" - this got shorter and shorter = your battery "THINKS" it is totally discharged and reads as so.
There are programs on the web (can't advertize for pay programs or give you links to them - against the rules) - that will re-vitalize your battery to almost new condition by discharging it more and more till it is truly fully discharged, then will fill it back to like new charge time.
Or you can buy a new battery.

Take the battery out, with the power plugged in replace battery, orange battery level lights on the laptop will light probably stay on for a few seconds then go out. Repeat until battery level lights indicate a lower level usually one light. continue watching charge state ( the blue battery led on the lower left on the laptop should be blinking) once the battery gets a start charge it should continue to fully charge. Sometimes batteries drained too low don't have enough power to run their internal circuitry to start charging.

the battery of your ideapad is already defective, try to change battery
SOURCE: Laptop will not charge battery. Issue with internal power converter, etc.
The motherboard has charging circuits built in to regulate the charge to the main battery, in rare causes it fails leaving a choice to attempt a repair or replace the motherboard. I suspect this is what has happened to your system.
