So, I got this new Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16APH8 (RTX4070, Ryzen 7 7840HS, 16GB RAM (upgraded to 32 with a Crucial kit), 1TB (upgraded to 3)) around 3 weeks ago . The second day it came it went through a RAM/SSD upgrade which went well for the most part, and both upgraded parts do pass their own checks. A few days after that, I realized, around once or twice a day, the computer just disconnects from the charger. The charge light goes off, the battery indicator shows no charge sign, and the battery depletes as if it was unplugged.
In this state, waiting it out does not work. Plugging the charger from the laptop's port does not work (even if I plug off, wait and plug in). Checking the seating of the power cables or using another plug does not work. The only thing I know that works is if I disconnect the brick itself from the wall, and reconnect (both from the plug and the brick side), which immediately starts charging again.
I think it's the charger that's faulty here, but maybe it's some sort of wacky setting I overlooked? Even though I have Lenovo Premium Care trial due to my location things are going to take a few good days and I don't want to send it in for no reason.
