hi, i am recently having problem charging my z5 as well

the icon showing 66% not charging, HWmonitor show 54% wear level, no over heating and all parts temperature less than 50C.

but once turn off the adapter, the laptop shut down straight away, can not be turned on. if turn the adapter on, then the laptop can turn on and the keyboard light went to default mode.

can i know how much is the cost to change the battery and how long does the process need?
it is like the battery died completely even if the system showing 66%

1511 previously have some stuck problem

i am currently on 1607, haven't meet any stuck problem yet

if update from win7 can cause some stuck also

i haven't try that, it auto update, windows 10 update is like batch update, so it may be a bit slow for some user to get it.

can try update

just send in to service battery today, hopefully the process is ok

now using old comp not used to hd screen lol

Unplug terus shut down battery kong already, new unit just go do the warranty.

Mine happened after 1 year plus, just changed for few months, but now stuck 92%, probably just a windows issues since unplug still can use.

realtek audio manager? can try loudness equalization in the sound effect tab

how much percent bettery wear?

8 hours is too long already

my battery died yesterday

do you open on friday? need to send in again

Is it possible to replace on Saturday if send in morning?

Otherwise might need to wait till January cuz flying to kuching this month

the battery just changed in july i think so fast died, might need to check the production batch.

Hello fellow owners,

after many years, my z5 now can not turn on, power indicator light is on but nothing happen pressing power button, long press will cause the light to switch off and on again like a reset. It briefly displayed cmos checksum bad a day before but still can get in windows and used normally, then the next day can't start at all, unplugging the cmos battery does not help.

unfortunately i am in kuching now, so it would not be possible to send back to KL for checking. Looking for any reliable repairer in kuching if anyone knows.

Thanks.

Just an update in case anyone in kuching need to service

I found an independent repair service called M.D. COMPUTER STATION, got my z5 repaired, some problem with the motherboard and it has been fixed, can use like normal now, the owner is quite nice and responsive, repair and cleaning + thermal, RM490. Quite a reasonable price considering buying new laptop is so expensive now.

This is his fb, it has the contact number and he is easily reached.

Hopefully my laptop can tahan for another year or 2 and no more chip shortage/ gpu problems etc when i go for the next purchase.

Anyone still using the 2nd gen z5? Does it support m.2 ssd? Or sata only?
