    My 3 yr old Lenovo is dead. It won't turn on. The battery indicator is just red. I tried removing the battery and using just the adapter but it won't turn on. I hope only the adapter is the issue because I've had problems with it before.

    I've been calling Lenovo in Taguig. Uminit lang ulo ko. It's too bad that the villman in Salcedo village and Amorsolo are closed. I've been a loyal Villman customer for more than a decade because their tech guys are magaling, accommodating and mabait. Now I don't know where to go

    BTW I'm never buying Lenovo again. Lousy support/after sales.

    safest route is via PC Express. There is one in Amorsolo near Eurotel, or the one in McKinley Parkway. however, i can take a look at it first so it can be diagnosed properly before you bringing it to a service center.

    lenovo? i had great experience with it. been using it for 10 years now. walang nagiging problema. your unit which is only 3 years old is still new/young to die out this early.

    You can try sa Glorietta, 3rd floor halos katapat ng BPI branch na kahilera ng Buffet 101.

    I forgot the shop name pero nag iisa lang kasi sya dun na mapapansin mo na halos parts and phone accessories ang tinda sa wing na yan. Makikita mo din sa display nila sa loob puro mga adaptors.

    Twice na ako nakabili sa kanila one for Asus laptop and another one for HP...

    Try msi/ecs shop. They are accredited by most laptop brands. It's at BGC, ground floor of phil plans bldg. Nasa vicinity sya near Toyota Global. The bldg is along Kalayaan.

    That's the shop recommended by Villman. Sobrang hirap tawagan. It looks like I have tp go without calling.

    May parking ba in that area?

    You can go there as a walk-in customer. Yes may pay parking yun phil plans bldg. Just tell the guard that you have a transaction at msi. When do you plan to go? Punta ko dun this week.

    Thanks. Not sure yet. I'll keep on calling. I really wanna avoid going there only to find out that they don't have stock of the adaptor

    If the power adapter is really dead, then it wouldn't matter. But, did you try the little things first such as keeping the power button pressed down for a minute?

    If your laptop is common, someone may have the (universal) power adapter for your laptop model. From my experience, more often than not, it's not on stock (especially older models). I often ended up buying one through mail order. My kid's HP laptop is on its third power adapter and my 2007 Toshiba is on its second.

    It's Lenovo G470. They said I need an adapter that is 20v (3.25 mah). What's a good brand of adapter?

    try to do a safe mode or boot via CD or USB. there could be an update which caused the failure. check the update log for your last successful update prior to failure. you can uninstall it or if you can still rollback to your previous windows version.

    also check for failed drivers or incomplete driver installations via the device manager.

    much better if you can provide a screenshot para matukoy ang actual problem.

    Naputol cord ng replacement adaptor ko I hope I can still buy the same one since my laptop is 5 yrs old.

    I bought my replacement adaptor 2 years ago in Glorietta for P1300. My laptop is a Lenovo G470.

    I saw this at Lazada. Less than half the price and sold by SM Store. It's not Lenovo brand though.
