 We issued a warning regarding about Phison SSD failures. On August 21, mind12, a administrator of Legion server on Discord reported that Windows 11 24H2 may cause SSD failure that led to unstable versions called KB5063878 update. mind12 said: Microsoft Windows 11 24H2 Update (KB5063878 ) May Cause SSD Failures Either skip the update for now or avoid sustained writes! (As of 20th August there is no fix!) "Community testing has identified a reproducible pattern in which certain SSDs, when running sustained sequential writes of approximately 50 GB, become inaccessible and display unreadable SMART telemetry.  Follow-up analysis and vendor feedback to date primarily point to solid-state drives, although conclusions about traditional spinning hard disk drives remain unconfirmed." "Microsoft and SSD vendors are investigating and have not yet published a definitive root-cause report. Until vendors and Microsoft publish formal guidance, users with SSDs should back up important d...

     We are aware with issue on NVIDIA GPUs, as per latest reports from Notebook reviews (Jarrod, Just Josh) found massive performance degradation. We placed "on hold" to purchase new laptop called Legion 5 Gen 10. The driver 580.X caused massive degradation, as noted by reviewers. mind12, a Discord user on Legion server said: Notebook Reviewers (Jarrod, Just Josh) were reporting that using the latest 2 Nvidia drivers from the 580.x branch are causing massive performance degradation . Gaming performance is worse than expected and the more you play the worse it gets. When you restart the game it resets. For now use the 577.X branch , if you care about battery life stick to 572.83 instead. As for now, I will stick with IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ACH6 with latest driver from NVIDIA, but the official is not fixed yet. Update on August 22, 2025: We confirmed that original issue dated August 14, 2025 by mind12, Legion server administrator.

 We have replaced with Sanyo batteries ( LNV-01AV448 ) because the service centre couldn't find Simplo batteries. Instead, service centre used Sanyo batteries they have best solution. The current fleet was returned to active operational status. Here are identical battery technical information specifications from Commercial Vantage (shown image): Figure 1: A new Sanyo battery is installed and ran tests. These make best choice for durability than Celxpert batteries on Lenovo batteries.

 UMC today, we are experiencing issues with ThinkPad L15 Gen 2 (AMD) due to battery issues because the battery behavior was unstable capacity, leading to unusual capacity from down to up and down again in some cases with Celxpert-made batteries (LNV-5B10W13897). We apologize for caused the issue with current laptop operational status is marked as Problem  within assigned operational behavior of deployed fleets. Please stand by to delay the regular tasks and maintenance, we sorry for inconvenience.
