The amber APS light on a Lenovo V570 laptop indicates that the Advanced Power System (APS) is enabled. The APS is a power management system that helps to extend the battery life of the laptop.
There are a few things you can do if you are seeing the amber APS light on your Lenovo V570 laptop:
Make sure that the laptop is plugged into an AC outlet.
Check the battery level and make sure that it is not low.
Restart the laptop.
Disable the APS. To do this, open the Power Manager application and click on the "APS" tab. Then, uncheck the box next to "Enable APS".
Update the BIOS. You can download the latest BIOS update from the Lenovo website.
If you have tried all of the above and the amber APS light is still on, you may need to contact Lenovo customer support for further assistance.
Here are some additional tips for troubleshooting the APS on your Lenovo V570 laptop:
Make sure that the laptop is not in Hibernate mode.
Make sure that the laptop is not in Sleep mode.
Make sure that the laptop is not in Airplane mode.
Make sure that the laptop is not overheated.
Try removing the battery and running the laptop on AC power only.
Try running the laptop in Safe Mode.
If you are still having problems with the APS, you may need to replace the battery.

The Amber APS light on a Lenovo V570 laptop indicates that the Active Protection System (APS) feature is enabled and active. The APS is a technology designed to protect the laptop's hard drive from damage caused by sudden movements, shocks, or drops.
When the APS light is amber, it means that the system is actively monitoring for any such movements and is ready to park the hard drive heads to prevent potential damage.
If you experience frequent blinking or continuous amber light, it could indicate that the system is constantly detecting movements, or there may be an issue with the APS feature. In such cases, it's recommended to check the laptop's documentation or contact Lenovo support for further assistance.
