The firmware on my Legion 5 is up to date. Lenovo's website says that the affected devices of the aforementioned issues are ThinkPad laptops. Plus, the battery on the Legion 5 is not removable.

Hi, I have a Lenovo 15ACH6 laptop. I've been charging it with a 100W PD charger for the past year and it worked fine. About two week ago it stopped charging via the USB C port (I tried two 100W chargers), unless it's powered off. The orange charging light is always on, but the OS (WIndows, Ubuntu) doesn't show a charging indicator, and indeed the battery percentage goes down while in use. It does seem to charge fine if the laptop is turned off. What could be the problem, and is it fixable? Thanks.

Hi, I have a 2021 Lenovo Legion 5 (model 15ACH6H). It has a USB C PD port which supports up to 100W charging. I have been using a Baseus GaN 100W charger for about a year and a half and, while it's not as fast as the 230W charger brick that comes with the laptop, it's good enough to charge the laptop while using it in Balanced Mode. For whatever reason, the laptop no longer charges when using this charger. The orange charging light turns on when it's connected, but the OS (Windows and Ubuntu) do not show a charging icon, and in Ubuntu it clearly states that the state of the battery is "Discharging". I do not have another 100W charger to try with this laptop, but I will say that the charger still works with my other devices - a phone and a tablet, both of which it is able to fast - charge. However, those devices do not require a 100W charging rate, and I did notice that the laptop charges (very slowly) when it's turned off. Is it possible that the charger can no longer charge at a rate of 100W, or is it more likely that the issue is my laptop? Thanks.

Hi, I have the SSD of an older PC that I'd like to clone to a new NVME drive. It's not possible to attach the NVME drive to the old computer so I had to connect the old SSD to the new PC. When I start the new PC, the BIOS does not recognize the SSD as a boot option. What can I do to fix this? Thanks.

No, I haven't spent any more time trying to fix it. I did, however, switched back to Windows 10 so it may have been solved, I haven't checked...

Hi, When I bought the laptop, Secure Boot was enabled. In the last week, I've had Linux installed beside Windows 11, and in order to be able to do that, I had to disable Secure Boot. Yesterday I removed the Linux install as well as its GRUB bootloader, and it seems that Secure Boot cannot be enabled. I see the setting in the BIOS but can't change it. Restoring the BIOS default settings does not enable Secure Boot either. The laptop is a Lenovo Legion 5 15ACH6. I'd appreciate you advice. Thanks.

The USB cable that can be seen in the above photo is connected at the other end to a header on the motherboard called USB 1112, as can be seen here: As for the 900 rpm choice, that's due to a misleading listing on Amazon. They're listed the 900 rpm version as 'PWM' and the 1400 RPM version as 'no-PWM', while in reality none of them have PWM.

Well, I only disconnected the older 2 fans and connected the new ones. Everything else was untouched.

Hi, My PC has a Corsair water cooler for the CPU. The original fans were loud, so I replaced them with Noctua NF-P14s redux 900 fans. The original fans have 4 pins (PWM for RPM control) while the Noctua ones only have 3 pins. When I turn my PC on, all the fans work though I get an error which says: 'CPU Over Temperature Error'. I don't see how the CPU can overheat instantly, even if the fans were not working at all, so I assume it might have to do with the fact that it cannot communicate with the CPU fans. Either way, I'd appreciate your help with this. Thanks.

Just found the issue and updated the OP, but thanks.

Hi, Over the last few days, I've noticed that Overwatch loads very slow - character models take a few minutes to load, as well as the game's menu and pretty much everything else. I've just checked my HDD's Read speed with HD Tune and the result is a miserable 4.5mb/s maximum (3.7mb/s minimum). All my HDDs are similar models except for their capacity and the others get a read speed of around 145mb/s max so something is wrong here. I have just freed a bunch of stuff from the HDD so it now has 2TB free out of 3.81TB. What else can I do, other than replacing it? Thanks. EDIT: Solved! Turns out a process related to Plex, that checks the HDD for changes in order to update the library, was using 160mb/s of read speed constantly. Changed some Plex settings and it's fine now, HDD is back up speed.

Can I check the stability of the card using software instead of a game? Like a stress-test?

You mean make my GPU weaker for a game to work? Doesn't make any sense to me.

Hi, I've been trying to enjoy this game since it came out but, playing the campaign, the game freezes after a few minutes of gameplay. The only way out of it is to use the physical reset button. I've already updated the AMD driver (using an RX 580). I'd appreciate suggestions as I don't even know how to update the game (it's on the Xbox app, using Game Pass for PC). Thanks.

Thank you all. Looks like my only option is to optimize ram usage by not running unnecessary apps, etc.
