    Hey Guys, I got the weird message the other day while plugged in, that status was "plugged in but not charging". I did some googling and found a few solutions but is this really a error or is it a "feature" where it allows the battery to run down before it begins charging it? Using the Lenovo power center I was able to switch to the power cycle and it started charging but as soon as I went back to conserve batter it went back to the same message. Suggestions?

    i guess you could have set your battery to maximum health in the lenovo power settings. this stops the charging of your battery when it go pass 60%.

    Yep, that was the problem, or should I say "feature".

    You can disable that problem/feature by setting the mode to maximum battery life.
