[Resolved]  Lenovo 3000 N100 — Laptop Battery

Hi,

I purchased a Lenovo brand new 3000 N100 Laptop in November 2006. Product ID: 0768A35
In Jan 2008, one day the battery of my laptop suddenly konded off. Before it stopped working completely it used to gie me about 2.5 hours of backup. As the warranty was only for 1 year, so nobody at Lenovo (Call Center and all serice stations) is actually listening. They only have one standard statement, "If it is out of Warranty, You have to buy a new battery costing Rs. 6, 800/-)
In few of the forums I saw that lots of customers had similar complaint with this series of Lenoo Laptops. I doubt like others if they have pre-programmed that the battery will stop working after the warranty of 1 year gets expired.
Obviously Lenovo does not sell laptops saying that the Battery will not last for even 2 years. It is not about Warranty not actie, but the real issue is the product has to function properly even after warranty. Nobody would buy a laptop if we need to invest on battery every 14-16 months.

Im trying if someone can help. If nothing works I may even File a Lawsuit against Lenovo under Consumer Court.

Thanks

hi guys,
i had also purchased the same laptop in nov 2006 and after few months the backup time of the battery got down from 2 hrs to just 30 mins and now its not even working, dont know why company is making a product with this problem, now as the warranty is out, i m confused what to do with that.
Sad and Sick, i also encounter the same Problem, am a Microsoft Certified trainer and what a shame that am using the Sick and poor manufactured machine. Hope i Knew this before and would not have opted for the Lenova machine. I wish i had seen this page before purchase.

Ur complaints r perfect. Those people have cheated all o[censored]s.
Guys .. . I have a Lenovo Laptop 3000 N100 (0768 AQ1) ... bought the same on 14th June '07 and my battery totally discharged after my 1 yr warranty expired. I tried getting my battery replaced by sending an email at [protected]@in.ibm.com. but the Lenovo customer care officers said my battery will not be replaced because of some date problem and bcoz battery code is not listed in the recall battery code list
link for doing a quick battery check : www.lenovo.combatteryprogram

What i dont understand is when my battery qualifies for a exchange as per conditions laid down by the link - http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-69671
why are lenovo guys giving me a crappy story of dates n !!


Anyway bottom line : DONT BUY LENOVO EVER ~

Im thinking of writing to some consumer court forums...can anyone help me ?

Regards

Hi Vivek,

I have also encountered the similar problem.

The battery does not charge when connected to the system with the AC adapter. The system will only function with the AC adapter attached. The system will not function on battery alone.
Hi Guys,
I'm another of the sufferers of Lenovo 3000 N100 laptops. I had purchased it in Jan 07 and suddenly in June 08 the battery went dead..the battery life still showed as 65 % charged but the moment i pulled out the AC cord the laptop went dead..left with no choice i ws using my laptop on AC and after a couple of months it started going off all of a sudden..now even with the AC power on the laptop does'nt start..its very frustrating..i've already started informing people about Lenovo products and personally feel companies like these should not be allowed to operate...

Hi Guys.
I too had same damn battery problem today in my less than 6 months old Lenonvo has given too much pain today.
All of a sudden, it just went off and did not get charged.
In the morning it was giving over 2 hours back up.
Lot of my urgent work suffered.
With so many battery complaints on lenovo model, I think they are cheating people and this fact must be given huge publicity in all media.

I am using a lenovo 3000 N100 model of laptop. My laptop is 1 and half year old. I called to customer care they told battery to be replaced. What we can do now? I think IBM people really cheating us.
LENOVO is very very bad product.

Hi,

I bought my lenovo 3000 N100 0768 GZQ laptop in Apr 2007 and in sep 2007 it got busted. Now for 2 months I am working with only the plug in mode, without the battery. Please tell me how to resolve this issue and to get the battery replaced without cost from my side as I didnt even use the battery for 2 years.

Any help will be appreciated.
Same problem as everybody. I bought an N100 about 2 years ago, thinking that is as good as an IBM laptop, but man have I been disappointed with Lenovo. Build quality is NOT good and the battery never really did work - when the laptop was new I could get about an hour. Gradually is has gotten worse and worse till a month ago, where it just stopped charging. I have split the plastic case, thinking I could solder new batteries into it, but when I measured the voltage on the batteries thay actually worked, so I'm guessing is't the electronics that control the charge that has been badly designed.

On top of this battery issue, Lenovo has disregarded all my attempts to communicate with them. I shall NEVER buy og recommend Lenovo to anyone - it is simply to crappy
Absolutely I agree with all of you, I am also facing the same problem... I dont think even after changing the battery the problem will resolve.. So I am thinking of going for Dell by selling my useless LENOVO 3000N100 series... Thanks Lenovo for far better business strategy, you will pay back soon...Cheers, Ram
