Introduction

The battery provides power to the rest of the computer. If your computer won’t power on, you may have a faulty power cord or just need to restart your computer. Your problem may be due to a faulty battery or your battery may also be swollen.

Please make sure the laptop is powered off completely and unplugged before beginning.

Hello! I have a Lenovo Y530 laptop and its battery is swollen. After removing the battery and waiting for the replacement, can I directly plug in the laptop to the power without having the battery?

Hi Joshua,

Yes! Be careful to reassemble everything other than the laptop. The laptop should boot, though depending on the brand and model, some will refuse without a battery.
