3G/LTE Module on Thinkpad Yoga?

Is there a possibility of installing a 3G/LTE module on the Thinkpad Yoga? To my understanding there is an m.sata slot on the Yoga that allows for us to put extra SSD hard drives on it. Is it possible to replace it?
If not, are there other methods other than using usb-dongles or hotspots?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

there is no antenna that you can attach to the module even if you install the wwan, then there is the issue of not having a sim slot on the ThinkPad Yoga.

  • ThinkPad Yoga WWAN-antenna

    Dear Thinkpad Community, i just purchased a Thinkpad Yoga 15 and the Sierra WWAN module. As i saw some Yoga 15 with WWAN in stores, and read that this WWAN module is suitable for Thinkpad Yoga, i assumed an WWAN antenna to be preinstalled which is not the case!
    As the module works and the SIM card is properly read, its only the antenna that is missing.
    Does anybody know where to get the antenna that is installed in the Yoga 15 that comes with WWAN?
    Does anybody know the part number/name of the antenna?
    Cheers,
    Springa

    Good day and welcome to the community.
    The best reference I can find for the FRU P/N for a WWAN antenna is the FRU BOM:
    https://download.lenovo.com/parts/ThinkPad/tp_yoga15_frubom_20150106.pdf
    You may be able to use the P/N to search for a source. Normally, I would recommend the maintenance parts site:
    http://www-304.ibm.com/shop/americas/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/default/PromotionDisplay?promoName=parts_r&catalogId=-840&storeId=260785&langId=-1
    but it's not returning any hits on the P/N.
    Another reference you should look through, if you haven't already, is your hardware manual:
    https://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/thinkpad_yoga_15_hmm_en_sp40g75956_01.pdf
    Starting on page 89 you'll see what's involved at installing the antenna. Basically, you'd need to tear down most of the LCD/lid assembly, so you should consider your comfort level with a task of this sort before committing to it.
    Hope this helps a bit.
    Regards.

  • 16GB SO-DIMMS working in Thinkpad Yoga 14 Broadwell?

    I've recently bought a ThinkPad Yoga 14 (with Broadwell CPU) and have been trying to get a 16GB RAM module working in it without success. I bought the 16GB SO-DIMM module from I'M Intelligent Memory http://www.intelligentmemory.com/. The advise thier memory is compatible with all 5th Gen (Broadwell) Core i-series Intel processors. I see Lenovo has recently started selling their own 16GB module Part No. 4X70J32868 http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/acc100204. Here only ThinkPad T450s and X250 are supported. Users on these forums have also reported the Intelligent Memory modules also work in these machines. Is there a reason for only x250, t450s supporting 16GB RAM modules? Why would other Broadwell laptops like the ThinkPad Yoga 14 not be supported? Is there something special about the CPU or BIOS on these machines? Or is this a marketing decision to restrict 16GB support only to high-end laptops?

    Hi Jonas, A faulty module was my first suspicion. I sent it back to the manufacturer and they ran hours of stress-tests on the module successfully without any issues. Unless they're outright lying to me (which I sincerely doubt) it's not the module that's the problem. I'm curious why Lenovo only supports their own 16GB module in a t450s or x250 (the flagship T and X series thinkpads). Users of the Intelligent Memory modules have also reported success using that brand of 16GB modules in those same thinkpad models. Is it a hardware issue (that can never be fixed obviously), a firmware issue that could be fixed with a BIOS update, or a marketing ploy by Lenovo to upsell to their more expensive laptops?

  • Download recovery Disc Thinkpad Yoga

    Hi,
    I had a problem with my thinkpad yoga, I accidentally used a recovery image from an ideapad yoga 2 pro. It's now wiped all the partitions and replaced the recovery with a yoga 2 pro recovery, is it possible to download a recovery image?
    I previously couldn't even boot into the thinkpad recovery which is why I tried the alternative recovery image, assuming it was just a pure win8 install, but now many modules don't work (onelink ethernet, touchpad etc)
    Thanks.

    Yes, I'm sure, I used the same Recovery DVD created on first day I bought the laptop.
    the OS is Vista Home Premium 32 bit
    the reason I reinstalled the windows was because the HDD got some hardware problems and I changed its HDD and used the recovery dvd to install windows...
    I just checked right now and realized the TOSHIBA RECOVERY CREATOR HELP .PDF is already installed but no sign of the RECOVER CREATOR itself !

  • Thinkpad Yoga - Insufficient external display resolution over the Onelink

    My local Lenovo Partner just confirmed the data in "User Guide" of the TPYoga, that the external screen resolution will only be 1920x1200.  
    "User Guide"  Page 10, http://www.lenovo.com/shop/americas/content/user_guides/tpyoga_ug_en.pdf
    "Display resolution:
    – LCD: 1366-by-768 or 1920-by-1080, depending on the model
    – External monitor: up to 1920-by-1200, depending on the monitor model"
    I mean what do I want the OneLink Dock / OneLink PRO Dock for??
    Of cause to connect a large screen and this not with a worse ppi than the intern display. So I need at least 2560x1600
     (we don’t even talk about all the disadvantages of a 16:9 screen, cause that’s off topic).
    Idealy I expect of cause a 4k resolution possibility together with the OneLink Pro Dock and multi stream (daisy chain) possibility at the display port.
    But 1920x1200 external graphic output can’t be meant serious for a 2000US$ device?? 

    Ok, let’s accept that the new Thinkpad YOGA Manual includes misinformation.
    Actually I’m sitting in front of my 2048x1152 Display which is connected to my 8 years old Asus Notebook via DVI. Does this old jalopy perform a higher resolution via DVI than the Thinkpad Yoga via “OneLink PRO Dock-DVI” does? 
    http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/options/tp_onelink_pro_dock_ug_en.pdf
    Page 13
    (I’m guessing in the first line (behind "One monitor") it’s supposed to mean DVI instead of DP”
    (1) Lenovo, are these technical details of the NEW OneLink Pro Dock also wrong like the Manual of the Yoga regarding the maximum resolution?
    Would be very helpful for me to plan with correct information..
    (2) And is it definitely true that I can't connect two displays at the OneLink PRO Dock with a higher resolution than 1920x1200??
    That would mean I send the Thinkpad Yoga back and better stay with my 8 years old ASUS jalopy.. smileyfrustrated:

  • Thinkpad Yoga 13 keyboard and mousepad don't work

    Hello people! 
    Last time I went  to US, I've bought this machine from Amazon: Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga Signature Edition - 12.5" 2-in-1 Touchscreen Notebook PC - Intel i5 Haswell / 8GB RAM / 128GB SSD / WiFi / Webcam / Windows 8.1 - Black
    I love it! At least until two weeks ago... after a windows/lenovo update things starts to be really hard.
    My keyboard and mousepad simple don't work anymore, totally unresponsive. If I hit "del" to access the bios, the keyboard does work, after that, when windows is loading and fully loaded, I've got only the "tablet" mode. 
    The only thing that works correctly is the touchscreen, as it only recognize itself as a tablet, not as a ultrabook. The screen also rotates automatacly when windows is fully loaded, so I have to use the tent mode with an external usb keyboard/mouse or type in the screen keyboard...
    I leave in Brazil, got in contact with lenovo suport team here, after a lot of procedures, that didn't solve the problem, they told me to get in contact with lenovo US and ask for an original dvd recovery.
    Is there anyone with a different approach to solve this problem?

    First try SMC and PRAM resets:
    support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a free diagnosis.

  • Issues with Thinkpad yoga on Windows 7 64-bit

    I uninstalled the windows 8.1 that came with my Thinkpad Yoga to installe windows 7 64-bit because there was no support for Power Manager ( a tool that allows you to charge your battery only upto a certain percentage (eg 40%) which helps reduce battery aging when the notebook is mostly operated on AC power).
    Doing that required me to fully clean the Hard-disk during the installation process.
    I installed almost all of the drivers available on  http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-yoga-series-laptops/thinkpad-...
    for thinkpad yoga and windows 7 64 bit.
    Happily, this provided me the Power manager, and I can use it just as I wanted.
    However, all these has brought in additional issues which are listed below:
    1. The touch pad right click doesn't work. Only two finger tap works as right click.
    2. The touch pad gestures for zoom and scroll doesn't work at all.
    3. The screen auto-rotate doesn't work.
    4. The touch screen gesture for zoom doesn't work.
    I did install the ultra-nav and screen-rotate drivers, but I get error messages regarding synaptics ... not working and also sensor driver not working during the windows startup.
    Any help please?
    Thank you.

    Just when I was happy that major issues have been resolved by constant updating, I am now experiencing this frightening problem. Mostly during startup, and lately in the middle of working, the screen freezes, shows very damaged image (like TV noise), produces the most unpleasant sound through the speakers and nothing works. I need to restart and hope that it will be ok. Sometimes it requires 2 or 3 restarts, going to safe-mode and returning back to get the issue resolved.
     This has happened three or 4 times within 24 hrs. I searched in the forum and for another model it was suggested that epresscache might be the cause. I disabled the service, but the problem reappeared even then.
    Any help please:
    This is what appears on the screen when the computer freezes and produces loud unpleasant noise sound.

  • [New Thinkpad Yoga 12 2015] enable Hyper-V feature on Windows 8.1 pro

    Hello,
    i am a french customer, and i am very interested in the New Thinkpad Yoga 12 2015, especially the version available with  Windows 8.1 Pro. and processor Intel Core i7-5500U.
    As an IT expert in Database technonlogies, i used to create virtual machines with the 'Hyper-V client' feature available in Windows 8.1 Pro. 
    - I saw that the Intel Core i7-5500U processor is compatible with the Intel VT-x and EPT virtualization technologies.
    - i saw that the Bios menu offers to enable/disable 2 virtualization parameters (link : http://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/yoga_12_ug_en.pdf)
    Do you know if the New Thinkpad Yoga 12 allows to enable the 'Hyper-V client' feature under Windows 8.1 Pro ?
    It is very important for me to have this information, because a computer without the 'Hyper-V client'  is not usefull for me
    So before buying this computer, i have to be sure that it will be able to enable the 'Hyper-V client'.  
    Thanks a lot for tour reply

    Good day.
    Please recall that this is a peer-2-peer support community. It's quite possible with the newness of the 2015 ThinkPad Yoga 12 (gen2), that no members with appropriate information have seen your post yet.

  • ThinkPad Yoga won't connect to external display

    I just received a ThinkPad Yoga and have not been able to get output to external display.
    I am using mini hdmi to display port.
    Lenovo tech support was completely useless.
    Does anyone have experience with this issue?
    Thanks

    First, try resetting the parameter RAM:

  • Need help with warranty service on ThinkPad Yoga

    Sorry for the seemingly angry headline but I am quite irritated at this point. Around three weeks ago I lost one of the rubber feet off my Thinkpad Yoga 2. After looking on Amazon, the Lenovo store and on Ebay I tried to ask here for advice around two weeks ago but I still have not received an answer (I don't know if this forum is run by Lenovo mods or by a Lenovo "community" of some sorts). I saw a similar question for missing feet on the S1 but the OP had not received an answer either.
    Yesterday another rubber foot came off so now both rubber feet on the back are missing thereby also partly blocking the air intake (I will glue it back on!). I therefore decided to call Lenovo to get some new ones. They put me through to IBM customer service which told me that it is not possible to buy rubber feet separately so in order to get two new rubber feet I have to buy a new base cover for the mere price of €80.50 which is just taking the piss out of people, especially when my laptop is 6 months old and still under warranty.
    The rubber foot which came off yesterday was so badly glued that it was almost a joke! Since I bought a laptop which has **bleep**ty rubber feet I have to buy a new bottom cover for €80 in order to solve the problem? If that is not taking the piss out of your customers than please tell me what is?

  • Connecting Thinkpad Yoga to Dual VGA Monitors

    I recently received my Thinkpad Yoga, and would like to connect it to dual external monitors (I will only be using those two monitors, not the laptop monitor) that both have VGA connectors. My original thought was to get the Thinkpad Onelink Pro Dock but as near as I can tell that only has the DVI connectors on the back. I suppose I could get that, then get a DVI -> VGA connector, but just wanted to check in here to see if anybody else had any better / less complicated / less expensive solutions to this. 
    Many thanks,
    Bryce

  • Thinkpad Yoga microphone not working

    I've just recently recieved my brand new Thinkpad Yoga, and everything seems to be ok except the microphone. Under Recording Devices of Windows 8.1, the meter is showing no activitiy even with the boost and volume turned right up. Apps like Skype etc are showing no audio being received either. I've uninstalled the audio drivers completely and reinstalled which has made no difference. The driver reports that everything is ok too. I ran through the windows audio troubleshooting tool which reports no issues as well though it is clearly not working. Any suggestions of have I received an expensive duff laptop?

    Hi! I bought my Thinkpad yoga in December last year and I didn't recognise that my microphon isn't working (because I usually use an external headset) since I tried to call somebody at skype and it says "Problem with your recording device". I think it is the same problem as yours, because the microphone is recognised but I don't get any input.  Did you find an solution for this? I don't wanna sent my notebook in because I need it daily for work :/. 

  • Thinkpad yoga 11e does not run working vbscript

    I'm using the Thinkpad to run the sample script ListAll.vbs provided by Lenovo. The script works fine on other models but when I try to run it on the Yoga 11e the return is an equal sign only. I looked at the documantation and it list the Yoga as compatiable so what could cause this issue?

    I have double-checked my ThinkPad Yoga 11e here, and it is working correctly.  My system originally had BIOS 1.15, which worked.  Then, to double-check, I updated to the latest BIOS 1.16 which also worked.
    Please double-check that you are using the correct scripts here:  http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/script.zip
    "cscript.exe ListAll.vbs"
    If you're still having problems, then I suspect something is wrong with your OS image, or some other software you have installed is interfering somehow.

  • ThinkPad Yoga - BitLocker- / TPM-problem

    Hi everybody,
    I got a very strange problem which I was unable to solve yet:
    My ThinkPad Yoga won't work with BitLocker.
    After initiation of the "BitLocker system test", it boots to the blue "BitLocker screen" - still, the PIN which was set before is not accepted. After cancellation of the test, Windows 8 (Windows 8.1 Update 1) states that the test failed, because the TPM could not be written.
    While doing some troubleshooting, I recognized that BIOS states the TPM being in "MFG Mode" (= manufacturing mode?); this might be caused by a motherboard change done by the Lenovo service approx. 1 month ago.
    My question is:
    Does anybody know how to make the TPM leave "MFG mode" or any other solution to this problem?
    Thanks in advance!
    Best regards,

  • THINKPAD YOGA TOP SCREEN CORNER YELLOWING
