Battery 2 problem with Lenovo Thinkpad x240

[Unique User]

I bought a Lenovo Thinkpad x240 from Arrow Direct in 2018.  Last year it started giving me a message that Battery 2: the battery is not detected. Try reinstalling or recharging the battery to solve the problem. 

I uninstalled the battery driver, took out the battery and put it back in.  I then bought a new battery hoping that would solve the problem, but no luck. 

It's the internal battery, is there any hope or should I just replace the laptop?

I currently have an X250 which had this issue as well. I found that the way to correct it (happens once every 5-6 months) is to run all updates to the system. Turn off the computer, then let it sit on the charger overnight. Seems to work for me. Im guessing its more of a software glitch than an actual battery issue.
