Ideapad s400 touch Wont power

Ideapad s400 Touch 
Windows 8.1
Hello ive recently made a factory reset on windows 8.1, everything worked ok and I decided to update and shutdown. Today i turned on the machine everything seemed ok and proceed to shutdown again, and when I come back 2 hours later I cannot power on the machine there is no indication that theres power in the system nothing boots up no sounds, no leds nothing. I tried changing ac outlets, removing the battery, doing a discharge pressing the power button, and tried using the Onekey Recovery button on the side of the power button. I have no idea what went wrong, im around machines all the time and where this laptop  is I have other computers aside. Im not sure if i need to remove the bios battery or what step should i take. 
Thanks in Advanced. 

hi x8lars,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Can you try changing the power plan on your system to a High Performance Settings,
   Also check the Advanced power settings and make sure that the Maximum  Processor start and minimum are set the same with the Plugged in.
Let me know your settings,
Cheers!

  • Ideapad s400 touch bios or other hidden power management while on battery? or battery just weak?

    Hi,
    I have problems with performance when unplugging my ideapad s400 touch, and it does not seem to be related to windows or intel graphics power settings.
    Example, while plugged in with full battery (not charging), I can play Skyrim at 600x800 with 28-30 fps (all shadows turned off and with reduced textures, in case you are wondering how that is possible)
    But when I unplug, or the computer is charging, the game will be only barely playable at  480x640 with 18-26 fps (besides res. of course same settings).
    In both cases, the intel graphics options and in the Lenovo Energy Management is set to the high/max performance settings.
    So I am wondering if there are some hidden Bios power management or some other hidden power management going on, when it is unplugged or charging?
    Or if simply the battery can not deliver the same juice as when it is plugged in?
    Thanks for any help,
    L

  • IdeaPad S400 Touch Windows 8 reinstall

    Hello to all.  This is my first post on this forum.  I bought a IdeaPad S400 Touch several months ago (October) and one of the first things I did was create a backup image on an external hard drive using the tool in Windows 8.  I then wiped the hard drive completely in order to install Ubuntu.  I was going to put Windows 8 back ont he machine and have the two running side by side.  However, I have not been able to reinstall Windows 8.  I physically took the hard drive out of the laptop and completely erased it using Disk Utility on my Mac, making sure that the disk was reformatted as MS-DOS.  I also created a separate partition, named Lenovo, of 20GB that contains the backup files from my original backup.  Still, using OneKey recovery doesn't work, and I am unable to reisntall Windows 8.  Please , would someone tell me what I am doing wrong and if there is any way to fix this mess I have created?  I will say things were so much easier back in the good old days when PCs shipped with recovery media.  Thanks.

    Hi Robert,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    I’m sorry to hear that the OKR (One Key Recovery) is not working as expected in your S400 touch Laptop, let me inform you that once the partition structure HDD (Hard Disk Drive) gets modified the hard disk recovery corrupts, if you have created the recovery media then you can use them and restore the Operating System. Please try running OneKey Recovery from hard disk, power off the laptop then press Novo button instead of pressing power button and check if it works and if OKR does not work. I suggest you to contact our Technical Support Team to get the details of the nearest Authorized Service Center to get the issue analyzed.

    Do post us back for further queries.
    Best Regards

  • Ideapad S400 Touch - HDMI to VGA problem

    Hi,
    I need to connect Ideapad S400 Touch to projector which has only VGA input. Therefore, I've bought such converter:
    http://www.amazon.com/Black-Input-Adapter-Converter-Laptop/dp/B007KFVQXI/ref=pd_sim_e_4
    Unfortunately, whatever I connect through it (projector, tv, PC monitor) I always have no signal...
    I tried HDMI direct connection toTV - works
    I tried HDMI to DVI converter and connect to PC monitor - works
    but when I use HDMI to VGA like one mentioned above - always "no signal"
    Please help. I bought this laptop and now find it useless as I present on beamers very often and am completly stacked now...
    Any suggestion would be highly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    hi ro174748,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    The connection you need is a active coverter.
    Passive connection just passes the signal and relay the signal without converting it.
    Active connection converts the signal and relay it to the other end.
    HDMI send / recieve digital Signal while VGA send / recieve analog
    Your corrent covertion will not work if the device cannot recieve digital signals through VGA.
    You will need an active converter such as this
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812400359
    HDMI to DVI operates with Digital signal so no covertion needed, that's why it worked.
    Here is a simple discussion about this issue.
    Hope this helps
    Cheers!

  • Ideapad S400 touch no le funciona el touchscree​n

    HOLA! 
    Mi S400 touch dejo de funcionar el touch, en la pantalla en la parte de arriba se alcanza a reflejar una pequeña cuadrciula.Esto paso al actualizarse al windows 8.1 . Quiero saber si usando OneKey recovery podria volver a funcionar?

    Hola diana_roque que tal,
    Si el problema es relacionado a software aplicando el onekey recovery el problema sera solventado.
    Te recomendaría antes ingresas a la web de soporte Lenovo e instalar los controladores de vídeo para tu ordenador https://support.lenovo.com/es/es seria bueno que intentaras en primer lugar con el ofrecido para Windows 8.1 , si persiste intentar con el ofrecido para Windows 8.
    Un saludo.

  • 3rd gen touch wont power/broken digitizer

    I have bought a broken touch 3rd gen (just for a challenge). Wouldn't power on, is seen by the computer but not recognised. Stripped digitizer off to find the digitzer cable not there, so its been taken apart before. Surely I would still be able to turn it on, without digitizer? Other thing i've thought of, is if it needs put in to recovery mode, the home button wouldnt work?
    Any help appreciated.

    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

  • Ideapad S400 Touch cursor acting erractically

    I bought my laptop back in August (so it still has warranty plus Geeksquad coverage). In the past few months, the cursor has been jumping around and clicking on various windows even when I'm not sitting at the computer. I've tried restarting, tried re-installing the latest Synaptic and Energy drivers as recommended by customer support. I've taken it to GeekSquad and they just had me do a system restore back to factory status and immediately after doing that, the cursor was acting up again. I use my computer everyday at work and really don't want to send it in for who knows how long. Any suggestions? I'm using Windows 8.1
    Solved!

    hi caity13,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    Try Draining the system of charge as a possible static charge causing this
    Remove the Ac adapter and Remove the Battery
    Hold the power button down for 15sec.
    Reconnect just the AC adapter and try.
    Also Reconnect just the Battery and try.
    If the problem showed up right after a factory Recovery then that takes SW issues out of it.
    You might need to have the System serviced.

  • Does the ideapad S400 touch has Bluetooth device?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to instll my new bluetooth mouse and I found out there is no bluetooth driver installed.
    After downloading and installing it says it cannot find any bluetooth device.
    I tried to google it but no spec website says a word about it, and it sounds strange that such a new laptop won't have bluetooth function.
    does it has one?
    If so could you please help me make the driver to work?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Should you have any update on the compatible type of SSD and/or how to upgrade SSD drive, please kindly drop me an email to XXXXXXX
    Thank you very much!

  • I have an iPod touch 4g that wont power on

    Hi. I just bought a iPod touch 4g second hand. It worked perfectly when i looked at it & when i got it. Ive had it for almost a month & out of the blue it wont power on or show that it is charging. How do i fix this? Is this something that can be fixed? Could it need a new battery or charging port? Please help.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • S510P Touch wont start

    Hello,
    I recently bought a Lenovo Ideapad S510P Touch. It has stopped working as the screen wont power up. When i turn it on, a blank screen is what i see. I have tried using a HDMI cable and projecting the images to no avail. I have also pressed the one key recovery but nothing happens.
    I have held the power button down for 10 sec to force a full shutdown and then I press it again to startup. Always black screen...
    I have tried the recovery key method a couple of times without success. Nothing appears, black screen, always...

    Try a hard reset and go from there.

  • My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in.

    My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in. The ipod doesnt turn on when I plug it into the wall, even if I let it charge, and itunes won't recognize it. I have tried to reset it with the home and power buttons. Whats wrong and how can I fix it? I think it might be the memory or the battery. What could the clicking sound be related to? Thanks

    Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    After that I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
