Checking the battery and operational charging Checking the battery This system supports only batteries specially designed for this specific system and manufactured by Lenovo or an authorized builder. The system does not support unauthorized batteries or batteries designed for other systems.
Attention: Lenovo has no responsibility for the performance or safety of unauthorized batteries, and provides no warranties for failures or damage arising out of their use. ® Move your pointer to the battery-status icon in the Windows notification area to check the battery status.
It is recommended that you create a recovery USB drive as early as possible. If you did not create a recovery USB drive as a precautionary measure, you can contact Lenovo Customer Support Center and purchase one from Lenovo. For a list of the Lenovo Support phone numbers for your country or region, go to: http://www.lenovo.com/support/phone Creating a recovery USB drive To create a recovery USB drive, you need a USB drive with at least 16 GB of storage capacity.
If it has, it can be used for access to the hard disk drive. If no master hard disk password is available, neither Lenovo nor Lenovo authorized service technicians provide any services to reset either the user or the master hard disk password, or to recover data from the hard disk drive. The hard disk drive can be replaced for a scheduled fee.
To put the system back to operational status, the only Lenovo and Lenovo-authorized service solution would be to replace the hard disk drive (HDD) or SSD with a scheduled fee.
