perform an EC reset

#

turn off the laptop and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds

#

until you see the keyboard power on with a rainbow effect

blissful wing
#

when the laptop is off I should press and hold?

#

tried but no keyboard power on

median lance
#

the keyboard lightning profiles should be reset

#

and other settings you've previously had

#

like thermal mode

blissful wing
#

looks like some settings did reset in Lenovo Vantage

#

but the rapid charge icon still shows up

#

I tried turning it off in Vantage as well as in the Legion Toolkit

#

should I roll back the BIOS

#

or re-flash ?

i can only see this setting

blissful wing
#

Yes when i click it it goes green and when I unclick it goes grey

#

But rapit charge icon next to my battery remains

median lance
#

can you share a photo?

blissful wing
#

oh dear god

#

its Microsoft changing the icon of the charging...instead of power cable there is now lighting bolt...

#

still doesnt explain why my laptop is at 100% now tho...

median lance
#

i just have power plug with fast charging enabled

#

idfk what lightning bolt you're talking about

lavish fable
#

That icon supposedly = it just shows that Windows has a charger connected, not even that it is charging.

median lance
#

i'm waiting for mine to charge up to 80%

#

didn't notice the lightning icon

lavish fable
#

I have that when I use a USB-C charger.

#

The full plug icon if I have the full power adapter connected.

median lance
#

wait

lavish fable
#

I think it indicates something is connected, but not charging.

median lance
#

what build are you using?

#

of windows

#

22h2?

lavish fable
#

The bolt at the top of the icon.

#

I'm on Windows 11.

median lance
#

which build?

#

type winver in the run box

lavish fable
#

Hold it, wasn't just as fast to type it right away.

#

I know

#

22623.870

median lance
#

yeah lol

lavish fable
#

It's the Insider Preview Beta.

median lance
#

they probably changed the battery icon in 22h2

lavish fable
#

And it has an extra icon, the other I still see I believe.

median lance
#

cause the plug took too much space

#

and it was confusing

lavish fable
#

Let me check with the normal power brick right now.

median lance
#

Windows is not even aware of the legion's fast charging feature

lavish fable
#

Not sure.

#

But you're right, it's the general charging icon, which appears even when it's not charging (e.g. in conservation mode).

median lance
#

yeah he probably got the update to 22h2 later

#

and thinks his legion is stuck in fast charging mode because of that icon

#

but if the switch in Vantage is disabled it means it's charging in normal mode

lavish fable
#

Exactly. While it's just stuck in having a charger connected 😄 .

#

While I don't know if Windows recognises fast charging, it does understand when you're in conservation mode (and shows it with the little heart icon at the bottom).

median lance
#

oh sweet

lavish fable
#

There is no indication of fast charging if I switch to it, only that the small heart vanishes.

blissful wing
#

Yea the icon is new in 22H2

median lance
#

you can watch the charging rate in LLT

blissful wing
#

I only thought its rapid charge because after the BIOS update the rapid charge was turned on and my laptop was on 100%

median lance
#

if it's above 150 W at low percentage it means fast charging is on

lavish fable
#

I think the BIOS update reverts to a default setting for the battery.

#

I had that too

blissful wing
#

And since I saw there the lighting icon as well as with the rapid charge in Vantage I thought the icon is related…

median lance
#

and there's a firmware bug on some models that keeps resetting that value

blissful wing
#

Sorry to all for my confusion🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

median lance
#

if you set it to Conservation and go to sleep, it may change back to Normal

#

or fast charge

lavish fable
#

Yes, I think that happened on my Legion 7i a few times, though not every time.

blissful wing
#

It says “not charging” now

lavish fable
#

Sounds good.
