Lenovo Battery Defect
As the company announced, the Concrete models of the Thinkpad series are affected, which are the 5th generation of the X1 Carbon series. During the production process, an error occurred that has only just been discovered. At times, the screwing of internal parts was not correct, so that now a screw is not properly tightened and in the worst case can damage the battery. And if a powerful battery has a physical defect, short circuits, overheating, and fires can occur.

Users who think their notebook has been affected should contact the manufacturer. They will then regulate the exact procedure for the exchange.

Anyone who currently buys a new system from the Thinkpad series, on the other hand, can be fairly sure to receive an unaffected product – because the dealers are also informed about appropriate actions. In addition, Lenovo presented to CES a new model in the series.
