Ideapad S415 Touch: Screen Brightness Stuck!!

Two days ago, my laptop suddenly got stuck on the lowest brightness setting. I did some research and found that I was supposed to update the driver, so I did and now the brightness is stuck on the HIGHEST brightness setting! When I try to adjust it, the little meter will move up and down just one level, from the second lowest to the lowest. Help!

Upgraded to Windows 10 on Lenovo Ideapad p400 touch, screen went dim

Hello,I just installed the free Windows 10 upgrade on my Lenovo Ideapad p400 touch last night. I woke up this morning and booted up my computer, and everything was fine until I attempted to change the brightness. When I tried to do this, my screen went very dim, and now I can't adjust the brightness (and I can't read my screen well, either). Normally, I would install/reinstall the video driver in order to fix this problem (recommended for other users with similar issues), but I currently do not see a Windows 10 version of the driver I need on the Lenovo website.I was wondering:a) if/when a new driver would be available to install (if that's the recommended solution)b) is there something else going on?c) Windows 10 allows you to revert back to Windows 8.1 within the first month of use. Should I just do this?d) Is the p400 touch capable of running Windows 10? Why or why not?Thank you!

Hello. I also have a Lenovo Ideapad p400 touch. Screen also went dim on me. In Windows 8.1 just uninstalling graphic's driver worked. It was Control Panel, Device Manager and then Display Adapters. That doesn't work with Windows 10. The other solution of rebooting and press the increase brightness key at the Lenovo logo somewhat works but it doesn't turn the brightness all the way up. So I found this worked for me: Go here: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ideapad-p-series-laptops/ideapad-p400-touch-notebook/downloads/DS031547 And just download and reinstall the old graphics driver for Windows 8. That finally got me back to maximum brightness.

E7 Touch screen gets stuck

E7 would need a mechanical call disconnection button (could be programmed e.g. for on/off-button??), as the touch screen every now and then gets stuck and you're not able for example to end the call. Especially when you don't want to leave a message to a voice mail and the phone just keeps on going there's gonna be several f-words in the voice mail.......
This is really irritating!

After installing the newer phoneware from version 013.XXX to version 014.002 there is an not understandable phone reaction to end the call.
Pressing on screen end call vibrates, but still shows on screen. Why - pressing few times activates some screen apps that appear after really ending a call. And it acts faster than auto key lock locks the screen and finishes to show "end call" button...
Nokia 1611, 2210, 3110, 5110, 6210, 6310, 6310i (up to these models totally satisfied)
Then don't remember model, then E50 (mostly happy), then N97 mini - phone with briliant keyboard, but poor touchscreen, then business phone E07, phone that can not make a photo of contract, invoice or business card. poor design of usb port and 5 months at service did it - my nowadays phone is Apple. Company gave me Asha 300, so frustrating, that I use my old E50 instead...

Ideapad s510p touch screen stopped working

This computer is not even a week old. When this first happened I saw that on the bottom side of the laptop were two switches, one for the battery and I guess one for the touch screen, by the way there is not literature on what so ever, and after flipping the switch the touch screen worked perfectly for about a day. Now it has stopped working again, but the switch is in the correct position. All of my drivers are up to date. I am so frustrated with this. the mouse works fine, it is just the touch screen. Please, someone tell me you have had a similar issue with this series of the ideapad and that you have been able to fix it, I really don't want to have to send it in as I use it everyday for work.

Hi eking4044, welcome to the forum,
     Here is your user guide:
http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles_pub/ideapad_s410ps410ptouchs510ps510ptouch_ug_english.pd...
     Here is your HMM:
http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles_pub/ideapad_s410ps410ptouchs510ps510ptouch_hmm.pdf
     Both of those "switches" on the bottom are for the battery. One is a spring loaded switch to open battery, after you push the other one into the open position. This is how you remove the battery, and have nothing to do with the Touch Screen.
      Did you delete any of the software that came with your system? The easiest thing you could do is backup your user files to a CD, or some external hard drive, then reset your system using the system recovery. See page 20 of the user guide for the recovery routine. Make sure you have a backup of your user files, before attempting the recovery, as it will set up your system like new. This should solve your problem, but if it doesn't, please post back with further information.
Cheers

IdeaPad S500 Touch - Screen goes black after driver update

I have a Lenovo IdeaPad S500 Touch. It is running the most recent update of Windows 8.1. It suggested an update to the Lenovo Video Driver. After downloading and installing the update, the screen went black. When rebooting, the Lenovo logo appears on the screen, and it goes black again. No matter what I try, that's it.
Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks,
James
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi Scoutmaster316,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
You will need to boot the system into safe mode.
the only option to boot there based on your situation is to crash boot the system
When you turn on the system, Lenovo Logo Appears then Black screen wait maybe a minute the hold the power button down to crash it you may need to reapeat this 4 to 5 times until it boots to a page like this
Once you got that proceed with these selection
Troubleshoot / Advanced Option / Startup Settings
Then you should rerach options with Safemode Select that.
If the driver is the problem you should be able to boot here,
Open device Manager and rollback the Video Driver

Screen brightness stuck on fade

When I turn my mac book pro on the screen immediately fades out to the power save brightness. However changing the brightness doesn't effect anything? Any ideas how to fix this?

rycap wrote:
I recently had the logic board on my MacBook replaced at the Apple store. However, now my display seems to be stuck on the maximum brightness level. I can use the F1 and F2 buttons to raise/lower the dots on the brightness level indicator, but the brightness just stays at the max.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Or do I need to go back to the Apple store?

Apple store as it's most likely a hardware issue.

IdeaPad S415 touch Windows 8.1 Update for Wireless Card Lenovo Part #20200437

I bought this wireless/bluetooth card for my Ideapad S415T and the only drivers for it were for Windows 7. One solution I found said to run the Win 7 drivers in compatibility mode. I wasn't satisfied with doing that so I hunted for the updated drivers for Win 8.1 and found them. I have provided the link at the bottom of this page.
(Make sure you are plugged into your router by an ethernet cable to access internet)
1. When you get to the page scroll down until you see the blue links click on either the link for Win 8.1 32 or 64 bit. If you are not sure which version of Windows you have, go to your desktop open Control Panel, click on System and Security, find System and click on it. Under the System heading on this page you will find if you are 32 or 64 bit. Keep this window open as you will need it in step 3.
2. Once you have downloaded the Zip file go to where it is in Downloads under This PC. Right click on the folder file, which has a zipper on it, highlight Extract All. This will undo the zip file into a separate file that is open. Leave it in the download folder.
3. Go back to your desktop. On the left hand side of the window you left open in step 1 look for Device Manager click on this. Give it a minute as it opens the list. If you just installed this piece of hardware it may show up under Other Network and will have a yellow triangle on it with an exclamation mark in it.
4. Right click on it and highlight Update Driver Software. This will open a new window click on Browse This Computer. If this is an exsisting piece of hardware it can be found under Network Adapters. Look for Qualcomm Atheros AR956x Wireless Network Adapter follow the instructions as for Other Network
4. Once the new window opens up click on the Browse button. This will bring up a new message box. Highlight the Downloads folder. At the bottom of the new message window click Open. This will populate the Browse bar.
5. Make sure Include Subfolders is checked (it should be by default), click next and it should find the drivers. Follow the directions if any come up after that, and voila! Your wireless should work.

If you think I may have missed something in the steps just reply to this post either what I missed or that you are having trouble with it. Good luck

Can you be more specific with the below, as I can't make sense of what you're referring to? I don't know what element size is at all, or where to change it. And, I don't know what you mean by unchecking a checkbox in the device manager as there are no checkboxes. More guidance and specifics would be appreciated.
* Change the element size back to recover from blurry text
* Go to device manager and uncheck that checkbox for the first of the USB devices in HID so that the touchscreen does always react on the first touch (this setting has been lost during the update process)

Ideapad S415 Touch trackpad right click issue

The problem is that when I press the right mouse button nothing happens. I don't get the dropdown menu. I am able to get it by using thw two finger tap gesture and with an external mouse. Oddly enough I can two finger tap right on the rigth mouse button itself but I can't click it.
I know the button is working but I don't know what happened. I updated the drivers frim the support page and this happened. I tried to look through the mouse properties from the control panel but could not find anything that would disable my right mouse button. when I press the right mouse button, on the "Buttons" tab on the properties, the button configuration menu switches to "other pointing devices. Suggesting that the right mouse button is not connected to the trackpad???
I Can't for the life of me find another person with a simlar situation so I must ahve done soemthing so obvous and wrong. I would glady appreciate any suggestions to solve my predicament. Thanks.

I also had these problems initially. I guess you have already run Lenovo system update and you have the latest driver (I have 17.0.12.52). In any case, I would recommend to run system update to get all latest drivers first. Meanwhile, this is working for me (could be that I just got used to it ). What works best for me is to use index and ring finger for the two finger click. For most people index and middle finger have quite different lengths, so there is a higher probabiliy that you are missing the time window for doing a two finger touch and instead end up with two consecutive one finger events (which then corresponds to a left click). Hope this helps.

Miix 2 8 screen brightness stuck 100%

I have gone through all the power settings, turned on and off everything I can find related to brightness but the level doesn't change from 100%
Any suggestions on fixing this?
Thanks

In power settings, have you checked if there is a setting related to 'auto brightness' which you can disable? That should do the trick!

My iPod touch 2g is stuck on the home screen with the loading logo in the middle of the screen, here is some backround information about an hour and a half ago I had turned it back on from it being powered off so then I continued too use it and then an hour and a half later after I locked it then unlocked it my iPod was frozen at the home screen with the loading logo and a weird part about it is that at the top of the screen the time is the same time it was when I unlocked my iPod also it turned down the brightness I attached a picture but is really dark because my flash caused it to be blurry and it was already really dark any one have any ideas how I can fix this there and i cant remember what the operating system was i havent updated it in a while so cant remember

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

Stuck with a message on the touch screen - checking device

This is an officejet 8500 wireless - the computer OS is Vista 64
The touch screen on the printer is stuck with a message that says "checking device" I cannot cancel or stop unless I unplug the printer. This occured after a paper jam.

First, make sure there are no little pieces of paper left in the printer. This document can help you check it out:
Paper Jams.
If you still get the message on the screen, pull the power cord out while the printer is turned on. Wait 15 mseconds. Hold down the # and 6 keys on the front while you plug the power cord back in. This should reset the printer and, with luck, will clear the message.

Ipod touch 2nd gen stuck on apple reboot screen

Hopefully someone can help... For the past 2 days, my touch has been stuck on the black screen with a white apple on it (the reboot screen). Approximately every 15 mins or so, the screen flashes to white as if it is trying to open something, flashes to black, and then the apple screen re-appears. Prior to this problem, I had downloaded some ebooks from the Barnes & Noble EReader App. I have tried holding down the wake/sleep key at the same time as the menu key. This will turn it off, but when I turn it back on, same problem. I have connected it to my computer via USB and it hasn't made a difference. I have tried connecting it to the computer, holding down the wake/sleep key at the same time as the menu key until I get a black screen and then continuing to hold both until the reboot screen appears again. I have tried this several times and nothing has changed on my ipod. When my touch is connected to the computer, occasionally my itunes will recognize it and synch, but then it disconnects itself. I can get it to be recognized as an ipod on my itunes if I hold both the sleep/wake and home buttons until the screen goes black and the apple re-appears where I release the sleep/wake button but continue to hold the menu button in order to get the restore settings, but only gives me the option to restore it to factory settings, which I don't want to do since I will lose everything on my touch. I have read that putting it into SSH would have been helpful, but I can't get into my settings to change it. Is there anything I can possibly do to save my current contents without having to totally reset it?

This exact same thing happened to me today and I cannot reset either. Don't want to restore to factory as I keep my mileage on my device and will lost it and not get paid. HElp.
