Lenovo IdeaPad 1-15IJL7 Battery Does Not Hold Charge

Many factors can prevent your laptop from charging properly. The most basic possible issues include a faulty power adapter, damaged charging cable, or dead power outlet. Check the entire charging setup, including the wall outlet, charger brick, and connector. Inspect the charging port for dust, damage, or looseness

Solution: check the power cable and make sure it's securely connected to both the laptop and the wall outlet. If that doesn't work, try unplugging and then plugging the power cord back into the outlet. If these steps don't work, it may mean there is an issue with either the battery or the laptop itself.

If the internal battery connection is loose or not properly connected to the motherboard, the laptop might not charge correctly. Moreover, dust or debris in the charging ports or battery contacts could prevent the laptop from properly charging.

Solution: open the laptop and inspect the internal battery connection. Additionally, clean any debris or dust from the charging ports or battery contacts carefully.

Over time, laptop batteries degrade and lose their ability to hold a charge. If your laptop is a few years old, the battery might be at the end of its lifespan.

Solution: you may check your battery's health by using built-in diagnostic tools in Windows or Lenovo's "Lenovo Vantage" software. This will show you the battery's wear level. If necessary, replace the battery for a new one.
