oh sorry did not know that was a thing.

Should i try to install all the drivers from their website?

[phillpower2]

Save just the Intel chipset drivers to a USB thumbdrive.

Clean install Windows.

Install the chipset drivers that you saved.

Install any other drivers as directed by Lenovo in their guide here

Do not be tempted to update the BIOS else you may end up with a rather expensive paperweight instead of a notebook.

would it be good if i did a backup first?

[phillpower2]

Depends what the back up stuff is, if personal data like pictures, videos and music files then yes but Windows should always be on it`s own partition away from personal data so as to avoid corruption, it not only protects Windows but also makes it easier to back up and/or reinstall.

Welp it did not look like it worked, i guess last thing to try is a new battery.
Thank you for your time and help.

@Swaxa - any updates?

[Swaxa]

I wish i had some time to get it fixed but my bike tire broke earlier this week so im looking into getting that fixed untill i get that fixed im gonna be just having my pc plugged in while using it. i will update you when i get the battery

no worries.
just means you have to stay near a power source for the time being.

also, on top of what Phillpower2 has already said, when getting a new battery, also check its manufactured date.
a new battery, still in its packaging, never been used but was made 2 years ago will be crap.
the lithium in them starts to oxidise as soon as they are put together and that’s what makes them not hold charge for as long as they used to when freshly minted.

I’ll close this for now as the new unit could take a while.
