These directions (and those for replacing the SSD) were very helpful. Everything worked well for about a week after which time the battery started having charging problems (again). The computer will start to charge, get to ~25% at which point the machine reports that it’s charging, but doesn’t get beyond ~25%. “Troubleshooting” in Win 10 doesn’t reveal any troubles to shoot. I am now trying to figure out whether the problem is with the new (supposedly Lenovo-brand) battery or perhaps the power cord. Any suggestions?
