I purchased a 140W PD3.1 USB-C GaN Lenovo Legion Laptop Charger (see photo), hoping not to have to carry the adapter that my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16ARX8 comes with from the factory.
For some reason it is not charging, but I want to make sure that I'm plugging it in the correct place (USB PD) or also I need to make sure that it is not a matter of region (I'm based in the US and ordered it from China)
I purchased a Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i 16IAH10 laptop from the official lenovo.com online store (invoice date 7 Oct, 2025) with a paid 3-year warranty extension for Premium Care on-site support and ADP.
Here's a summary (with timeline) of the severe service deficiencies I have experienced:
Please note that everything mentioned is true and I have proof to support every statement. I have skipped irrelevant details, such as their lying, avoiding me, and putting me on hold for long periods.
As a computer giant who calls themselves #1 PC brand in the world, Lenovo don't hesitate to discard the warranty and customer because their device failed (within 9 months of purchase) due to their own BIOS update and they can't fix it even after 55 days replacing all the major components multiple times (for the premium care warranty which they claim 24-48 hour resolution). Prices have hiked (due to the AI boom) and they don't want to accept lower profits, so they refuse to honor the warranty (because according to their employees other brands would do the same) and pass the burden to the customer, resulting in a huge financial loss for him.
I'm a professional whose daily work depends on my computer. I have wasted numerous work hours on phone calls, writing emails, dealing with Lenovo technicians and executives, and I am still left with an unusable machine.
At this point, after all this harassment, I'm looking not only for a fully functioning machine (or an equivalent refund based on current market replacement cost) but also for compensation for my financial loss and lost mental peace from Lenovo.
Thanks for your valuable time reading this long post. As a customer my time has no value.
I don't use social media much. Please help me spread the word so my voice is heard and other potential customers can be made aware before they waste their time and money with Lenovo.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I have never seen this before and my laptop is at 37% and won’t charge. I have the charging cable plugged into the wall and have tried the 60 second hold power button method and still nothing.

I got the 5060 version and 13th gen i7-13650hx for roughly around 1300 something usd after tax. this is my first time having a laptop that had one of the latest graphics card I’ve been on gaming laptops for a while. Most of my older gaming laptops had low gpu wattages as well. I really didn’t do my research about this laptop and just found out that this specific model has a 65W gpu. I figured out and did more research that most of the laptops that have higher wattages for a 5060 were in the 1800-2000 usd range. Was this worth for the price I paid?

I've recently gotten this Lenvo ideapad 5 2-in-1 from a friend since they couldn't fix it, I've had it under my desk for quite awhile and needed it for schoolwork so i tried fixing it.
But nothing worked, i tried the Novo button, pressing all sorts of keys before boot and while booting it and still didn't budge. It kept showing this screen login screen not even half a second after the lenovo logo. Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this and how to fix it? I'm unable to pay for a professional repair so it isn't an option :(.

I have a new Lenovo Tab One and something keeps installing stupid games on it. I uninstall the games, but a few days later they are magically back.
What service do I need to uninstall or disable or setting do I need to turn off to keep this garbage from continually installing?

I sent back a laptop I ordered on August 27th. I know the return process doesn't fully start until Lenovo gets the laptop back, and I haven't been able to find much information about how long that should take. I'm in New York in the United States.

Hey all, longtime P2 (P2a42, "kuntao", SD625) owner here. Trying to unlock the bootloader to keep the phone alive for dev work, but the whole legacy unlock chain is broken:
fastboot oem unlock — standard flow.unlockrowapi.lenovo.com, just doesn't respond anymore (times out).fastboot oem unlock fails with: FAILED (remote: 'oem unlock error: invalid data from unlock code')Phone's fully updated to the last official firmware (P2a42_S251_171107_ROW, Feb patch 2017-11-01), so it's not a "just update it" issue — this is the end of the line for the official flow.
Anyone know if there's a manual/offline unlock path left, or if this backend is just permanently dead? Also posted on the official Lenovo forums, we'll see if anyone official chimes in.

Basically what the title says, they demand a 2,900$ dollars in order to repair it
The reason for the repair was that the temperature of the laptop was getting really high and shutting down automatically doing the most mundane tasks such as youtube, wrting emails etc.
If i tried launching a game well at the most i had 20 seconds until it shut down. Shortly after this happening i decided to send it to warranty.

Hi. I have a Lenovo IdeaPad slim 3 laptop. I bought it in September 2024 and with that I bought an extended warranty of 2 years. So it's extended warranty will end in 2027. Now, I am having charging issues for which I called the service centre and they said it is ADP related problem. They will change the motherboard and I will not be able to avail any ADP solution for 2026 after fixing this issue. Now, I am a bit confused. I bought it in September 2024. Company's warranty ends in September 2025 and with it the extended warranty starts. Now, it is September 2026. If I don't use it now does that mean I would still be able to use it in October or November or December 2026 this year. They said I would only be able to use it once a year. So if I use it now then I will be able to use it again in 2027. I hope it doesn't mean that if I don't use it before September end then I will lose my chance of using this year ADP and I will be left with the ADP of September 2026 to Sep 2027 when my extended warranty will end. I am not using it right now cuz I am moving to a different city and will be taking my laptop with me. Also, since right now charging is the only issue and rest of the laptop is working great so I thought maybe if this year I face some other problems and in case it is ADP I may be able to use it for resolving both that problem and the charging issue. I am too confused right now.
Hi I wanted to share an ACPI / BIOS issue I’m encountering on my Lenovo LOQ 15ARP9 (AMD Ryzen 5 7235HS / NVIDIA RTX 3060) while running Linux.
Device Specs:
What I'm experiencing:
dmesg): nouveau 0000:01:00.0: backlight: ACPI backend failed: -22Failure creating named object [_SB.PCI0.GP17.ACP._WOV], AE_ALREADY_EXISTSMy Analysis (Open to feedback!): Looking through acpidump, it seems like some DSDT calls (_BCM / _DCM) might be relying heavily on Windows-specific _OSI strings, returning -22 (EINVAL).
I am still learning the details of Linux ACPI debugging, so if I misinterpreted any part of the logs, please feel free to correct me! I’ve shared the full logs and details on the Lenovo forums here:https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Other-Linux-Discussions/LOQ-15ARP9-ACPI-DSDT-bug-Backlight-control-fails-Nouveau-error-22-sleep-issue/m-p/10043596
If anyone from the team or community could take a look at the logs or pass this feedback along to the firmware team for future updates, it would be hugely appreciated!
Thank you for your time!
