Ideapad U410 Bubbled / warped keyboard casing above power jack

Hi
I noticed yesterday that a bubble has appeared on the casing of the keyboard directly above where the power jack is.
It doesn't appear to get hot here, but I'm wondering if it has overheated somehow and caused the case to bubble up and warp. I've had the laptop for less than 2 months. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Why should I have to jump through so many hoops, and stress myself for something I paid hundreds of dollars for - and that too, for a branded product that's supposed to guarantee defects of this nature? I honestly don't think you read my post in its entirety. I MIGHT have pictures of the broken DC plug pin lying around somewhere in my phone; but even if I don't, that's a $30 repair job, which I would willingly pay. My problem is their insistence that the entire motherboard is damaged, unusable, and in need of replacement for a whopping US$ 200 (which is a big favour for me, apparently - down from US$ 310... I really don't care, I shouldn't be subjected to this at all in the first place). I DON'T EVEN WANT IT TO BE REPLACED. I like the old motherboard JUST THE WAY IT IS. IT'S FINE. I gave it to Acer to fix the DC plug! And the "damage" from the liquid is NEGLIGIBLE - even the person at the Acer service center said a small amount of liquid spill is FINE, and that's AFTER I described to him MYSELF the French Vanilla incident.

What Caused The Warped/Twisted Casing Above CD Drive?

So I've had my 15in Macbook Pro for just over 7 months. It's my pride and joy and I have a habit of treating it like spun sugar. To put it bluntly I'm paranoid about something happening to it like being dropped, falling off the table, usual worries.
What I wasn't expecting to see when I took it out of it's case this morning was to see a section of the casing sticking out and the CD drive unable to work (it ejected the disc I had in thankfully but the 'auto-pull' won't take if you try to insert one).
I'm getting ahead of myself though. So let me give a bit of 'history' so to speak. Usually this machine is kept on an iCurve and hooked up to a wireless keyboard and mouse. When it's taken out of the house it's carried in a proper laptop case, it's never been dropped or clipped on anything or anything like that.
Yesterday I took it to work (I'm a freelance designer) again it was put in a case, nothing happened and last night it stayed in its bag. So there was no 'event' that could have caused damage and I'm worried that the case has somehow twisted. Is this a problem that occurs with the Pros? If so, is it covered by my Apple warranty (as the damage was NOT caused through negligence) or am I better off taking it back to the store I bought it from and seeing if they will replace the machine or.. something?
I've included an image of the 'damage' and you can just see on the corner that the 'trim' seems to be twisted too as well as the part sticking out. I would really, really appreciate some advice as to whether this is something that happens a lot.

Update:
So I took my computer back to the PC World store I bought it from and the response was akin to 'oh God it's a MAC?! What do we DO?!?'
They did however give me a number who in turn told me call Apple Care who in turn told me to take my computer to our nearest Mac re-seller. Took it in, showed them and they think it's heat damage. It'll take a few weeks to sort but at least it's getting sorted and under warranty too...

Alt codes on ideapad u410

How do I do alt codes on the ideapad u410?

Thanks, ishaan.
I hadn't seen your post, nor the knowledgebase article.
It works on my Yoga13, yet it's a little awkward to hold down the Alt key on the physical keyboard while tapping the on-screen keypad's numbers to achieve special characters... unless I'm missing some kind of an "Alt lock" function for the on-screen keyboard. In any case, it's certainly better than no capability at all.
Cheers.

Please help me to fix the issue.  Blank Screen:NoVa Button Menu: But all of the options takes me to the abou white blank screen.  One Key Recovery Error: Thanks in advance.SreeArjun

Hi SreeArjun,
Welcome to the Forums
As per the query we understood that you are unable to boot the system in your Lenovo U410 laptop.
Remove the hard drive and try to boot the system into BIOS and check if any error occurs? Also insert the hard drive and check what happens after installing the HDD.
Best regards,

Lenovo Ideapad U410 scrolling down with a grey screen

HI,
I just recently purchased the Lenovo Ideapad U410 and sometimes when I try to scroll down with both fingers, a grey line and background bar starts to come down and encompass the whole screen, rendering the screen and all my apps useless. And then on the right side, it shows the time and date squished togetherand I can't seem to get out of it unless I go back to the start and then open the desktop again.
Why is it doing this and is there a way to stop it because when it scrolls all the way down, the laptop won't work and if I don't touch the touchpad, bubbles start forming forming as if it's a screen saver.
Thanks

It sounds like your hard drive is failing or has failed. It cannot repair the disk and is suggesting you back up and format the drive. Do you already have a backup?
A couple of things to try first:

Is my laptop charger broken or is there something wrong with my laptop (ideapad U410)?

I've had my ideaPad U410 for about a year and a few months (august 2012) and it has been fine. Recently, whenever I plug in my charger in the bottom right notification tray, it doesn't show that my laptop is charging. I tried multiple times and it doesn't work. Is there something wrong? What should I do?
Where can I get a replacement if it is indeed my charger that is broken?
Thank you

If you can run the laptop on the battery alone then it is more than likely still being charged by the charger when the machine is plugged in. If you know someone with a voltmeter you could have them check to be sure that the charger is outputing the correct voltage.
If the battery is still being charged, what I would do is uninstall and reinstall the Lenovo Power Management software. That should correct the icon probem you are experiencing. The Power Management software can be downloaded from Lenovo's download page at the link below........

T410 won't boot, blank screen and keyboard unresponsive at power up.

Hi, my Lenovo T410 laptop won't start. I hit the power button and it looks like it's about to boot up. The thinklight blinks on as normal, the cd drive is checked, the caps lock button blinks on, then nothing. No display, and keyboard is unresponsive. Power light remains on; if I leave it a while the fan comes on. I can turn the machine off using the power button, but the problem remains next time I switch it on.
I've tried removing power and battery, pressing power button 10 times then holding power for 30 secs, before replacing power and battery, but nothing happens. I've tried using a different keyboard. I've tried plugging in an external monitor. No change.
This problem appeared after I left it on overnight. I have a hunch that it went into hybernation mode, perhaps, and that it disrupted some important function which it was unable to complete. Not sure though. Any help gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Pete

Hi, Fn+F7 didn't do anything.
So I took out the HDD and both RAM modules, including the one under the keyboard. At power on it beeped as follows: 1 beep, followed by 2 series of 3 beeps, followed by 1 beep.
I replace the HDD and one ram module under the keyboard leaving the other one out - this didn't change anything; I then switched up the RAM modules - again, no change. Does this mean the motherboard and processor are OK? What could the problem possibly be in this case? Very mysterious!
Incidentally, I should perhaps have mentioned that I kept the unit in an unheated room and it did get very cold there a few days ago, which coincides with when the booting problem first appeared.

Ideapad U410 not working in Normal Mode

Hi,
My Lenovo Ideapad U410 has suddenly stopped working in normal mode. If I need to open a link or an important document, I open it in a safe mode.
Has anyone faced a similar kind of issue? I don't want to format the system as i would first like to know the root cause. The laptop is within a warranty period however Ideapads don't have an international warramty i guess.
Any help would be appreciable.
Thanks,
Akanksha

This is cause by some conflict/defective in the installed drivers. Try doing the procedure describe in this link. It also described on how to determine which is causing the problem.

Lenovo Ideapad U410: part of screen is white

I have a Lenovo Ideapad U410 and the left part of my screen is uniformly white after turning on the laptop. It's a rectangle about 1 inch long, from top of the screen to the bottom.
I got this suddenly pretty much a month after buying the laptop (it appeared suddenly and I didn't do anything to cause it), and then the area of the white rectangle got bigger after I mistakenly dropped my laptop yesterday.
Would buying a new screen and installing it fix this, or could the problems be more besides the screen?
And is this covered by limited warranty?
Thanks.

Hi Dsav6,
As per your concern, I would suggest you to please re-install the graphics driver of your system from the below mentioned web link.
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&DocID=HT073650
Afterwards, please restart the system and check if the issue still persists then it needs a personal assistance and it will be covered under warranty.
Regards,
Sameer

Is there a keyboard shortcut to power up?

Is there a keyboard shortcut to power up my notebook until I get the internal keypad fixed?

Hello,
No I don't believe there is.

Ideapad U410 no main hard drive, won't turn on after updates.

Hi,
I just imported an Ideapad u410 from the US to the UK. It turned on fine, I started noticing the wifi proglem everyone else are having. No big deal, got a usb wifi adapter laying around I can use. Then I noticed that the hard drive (C, no other harddrive visible) was rediculously small (20-30 some GB, I forgot the exact figure) with almost all of it's space used. I figured this was a partition for the OS and that for whatever reason the rest of the drive wasn't showing. I noticed the windows update icon showing on the shutdown button and figured perhaps setup wasnt complete so I pressed restart. It kept restarting, downloading more updates and restarting, I walked away to have dinner when it proclaimed it would now install update 1 of 96. When I came back the laptop was off. I turned it on to be met by an endless cycle of BSOD during startup followed by a failed startup repair... I guess there wasn't enough space on the C drive for the windows update. What do I do now?
Solved!

What os do you have? The main problem is the one key recovery, so if not interested it should be similar to the ordinary installation if there are no cache ssd installed.

Ideapad u410 von SD mit Linux Mint starten

Ich habe ein Problem: Ich würde gerne eine SD mit Linux Mint bespielen und von dort aus starten.
Vorgehen: Linux Mint habe ich heruntergeladen, auf die SD aufgespielt (mit Linux usb-creator) und beim Boot-Menü die sd auf Platz 1 gesetzt. Der Bildschirm zeigt dann nach dem Neustart auch brav die Option "Linux Mint ..." starten. Nach dem Anklicken passiert aber nichts mehr, Bildschirm bleibt schwarz. Habe schon alles mögliche versucht.
Mein System: derzeit win 8.0 (mit win 8.1. ging es auch nicht), ideapad u410, 64 bit.
Hat jemand eine Idee?

Hallo MIM_MIM,

Ideapad U410 windows 8. one button recovery

HI,
I've a IdeaPad U410 that ships with Win 7 and a cool little feature called one button recovery.
The idea is that when the pc is off, you can hit this button and invoke the recovery partition to reload win 7.
Having update the PC to Win 8, I would liek to setup the same operation but with win 8.
Has anyone been succesful with this, how'd you do it?
I see to steps:
Setup a Win 8 Recovery partition, which looks harder than it sounds.
Tell the pc to look at it for the one click recovery.
Over to the Lenovo masses, your thoughts are most welcome.
Stan

Hi Stan,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to inform you that after upgrading the OS (Operating System) from Windows 7 to Windows 8, OKR (One Key Recovery) partition will lose its path with the Software and cannot create the recovery partition for Windows 8 and OKR button will not work as expected.
Do post us back for further queries.
Best Regards
Shiva Kumar

Hey, where is there Puppet Warp keyboard shortcut?

There are plenty, I mean, plenty of keyboard shortcuts in Ps CS5/CS6 but, where is the Puppet Warp keyboard-shortcut?? It doesn't seem to exist... At least, I can't find it nor can I create a Puppet Warp custom keyboard-shortcut, as well. What gives Adobe???

Hi, Photomagneto! Welcome to the forums.
Like you mentioned, there are a TON of keyboard shortcuts in Photoshop, which makes it very difficult to assign new features a shortcut. However, there is a nice feature that allows you to create your own!
Under the Edit menu, you'll find Keyboard Shortcuts at the bottom. Once you're in there, you can find the Puppet Warp feature under the Edit submenu, and you can assign it a shortcut.
I hope this helps!

Schlechte Garantieabwicklung - IdeaPad U410

Hallo. Ich habe das geiche Problem. Bei meinem IdeaPad U410 ist nach 14 Monaten sachgemäßer Verwendung und Behandlung das rechte Schanier gebrochen. Ich wies Lenovo darauf hin, dass mir Ihr Fall sowie ähnliche Fälle bekannt sind. So z.B. diese Forumsbeiträge: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Notebooks/Kaputtes-Schanier-nach-nur-6-1-2-Monaten-bei-ideapad-n581/m-p/1396483#M2935 und http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Notebooks/S205-Display-Aufh%C3%A4ngung/m-p/584113#M228, ein anderer Kunde klagt über ein schwergängiges Schanier: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Notebooks/Lenovo-z560-Geh%C3%A4use-Reparatur/m-p/491057#M151 wie es auch in einem Testbericht über das IdeaPad U410 Touch angemerkt wurde: "Das Display öffnet sich etwas schwergängig […]“ (www.notebookcheck.com).Diese Problematik ist Lenovo also geläufig. Meiner Meinung nach liegen dem Fehler im Zusammenbau zugrunde, eine straffe Montage einerseits und zu filigrane Konstruktion andererseits, welches zu einer verfrühten Materialermüdung führt. Auffallend ist, dass Anträge auf Reparatur im Rahmen der Garantieeistungen offensichtlich standardmäßig mit gleicher Begründung abgelehnt werden, nämlich, dass Schäden am Gehäuse des Gerätes auf unsachgemäße Handhabung hindeuten und daher eine kostenfreie Reparatur nicht gewährleistet wird.Ich habe daraufhin nochmals erklärt, dass mein Gerät stets vorbildlich behandelt wurde und die angemerkten Kratzer im Gehäuse in keinem Zusammenhang mit dem zerbrochenen Scharnier stehen - weder zeitlich noch technisch. Ich finde Qualitätsmängel des vorliegenden Ausmaßes und ein derartiger verfrühter Ausfall eines Gerätes sind nicht akzeptabel. Wenn es dennoch zu einem solchen Fall kommt, erwarte ich mir vom Hersteller Einsicht in die mangelhafte Verarbeitung und eine gewisse Kulanz bezüglich der Gebrauchsspuren am Gehäuse. Stattdessen wird offensichtlich verucht, dem Kunden Fremdverschulden zu testieren, um somit einer Garantieleistung zu umgehen. Obwohl ich von dem Support hier in der Lenovo.community rasche und hilfreiche Antworten gewohnt bin, möchte ich explizit um eine schnelle Annahme dieser Angelegenheit bitten. Lenovo/medion hat mir ein Frist von 2 Tagen (bis 26.März) gesetzt um zu reagieren, andernfalls wird das Gerät unrepariert zurück gesendet. Vielen Herzlichen Dank im Voraus.

Hallo,
letztens ist mir beim aufklappen meines Lenovo IdeaPad U410 auf der linken unteren Seite das Front Bezel entgegen gekommen. Die Verankerung des Scharniers in der Displayrückseite hatte sich gelöst. Meiner Meinung nach einer der Dinge die bei einem Laptop nicht schief gehen dürfen!!!
Der Laptop wurde im April 2013 gekauft.
Nun wende ich mich an den Lenovo Support und lande erst mal bei MEDION.
Gerät wird am 30.12.2013 eingeschickt. Heute am 16.01.2014 bekomme ich einen Kostenvoranschlag von MEDION mit der Standardbegründung: "Das Gehäuse des Gerätes weist Schäden auf, die auf unsachgemäße Behandlung zurückzuführen sind. Eine konstenlose Reparatur im Rahmen der Garantie ist daher nicht möglich."
Kostenpunkt: 124,70€ 15,00€ Backcover, 15,00€ LCD Bezel??? (warum sollte das ausgetauscht werden müssen? dazu besteht keine Notwendigkeit!) 74,79€ Reparaturpauschale. (alles Netto)
Welche Schäden bitte??? Das Gerät war bis auf den von mit geschilderten Fehler in top Zustand!!!
Habe bereits bei einer Recherche im Netz rausgefunden, dass ich nicht der erste bin dem MEDION auf unverschämte Art und Weise versucht die Garantieleistung zu verwehren.
Kann mir hier jemand vielleicht weiterhelfen, beziehungsweise hatte auch schon Erfahrungen in der hinsicht mit dem MEDION Reparaturservice?
Ich finde das einfach eine Frechheit. Wie zur Hölle soll ich den daran Schuld sein dass sich die Schrauben aus der Display back cover gelöst haben? Ist auf und zu klappen des Notebooks unsachgemäße Behandlung???
Hinzu kommt noch: das Schreiben ist vom 10.01.2014 und kommt heute am 16.01.2014 an??? Wohlgemerkt, im Schreiben ist eine Frist gesetzt 24.01.2014. Bei denen versucht man wohl alles um keine Garantieleistungen erbringen zu müssen.
Ich freue mich über jede Hilfe!!!
Viele Grüße
EDIT 16.01.2014 14:16Uhr:
Habe versucht den Service unter der auf dem Schreiben angegebenen Nummer zu erreichen.
Nach einer Ansage, dass es nach dem Ton 1,29€ kostet bleibt mir nichts anderes übrig als zu warten und das in Kauf zu nehmen. Doch nachdem Ton fängt die typische Warteschleife Musik für den Bruchteil einer Sekunde an. Danach werde ich einfach aus der Leitung geworfen - abgelegt. Das kann doch nicht wahr sein???!! Sowas nennt man ABZOCKE
