Lenovo IdeaPad Y500 Power Adapter
When purchasing a replacement charger, selecting the Lenovo OEM charger is usually going to be the safest choice. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs. The Lenovo IdeaPad Y500 AC adapter is responsible for two things, to charge up the main battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. A universal AC adapter is a possibility if yours is unavailable or backordered. Because Lenovo has been known to use a single AC adapter that is probably used on other similar units, be certain you select the correct one for the IdeaPad Y500 model.
Clues your laptop charger is on its last leg
- Most Lenovo adapters can get quite warm when they are plugged in for a period of time
- The laptop does not run without the battery installed
- Battery does not charge up all the time
