IdeaTab Lynx K3011; annoyingly long beep?

I'm not sure if this is a 8.1 issue or not since I just got the tablet a day before 8.1 was released. I'm sure it's a security feature since it seems to happen when the vents are blocked or when I push the CPU. I don't know what's causing it since it comes with no warning message or anything but when it starts it's a loud, long beep that lasts 2-3 minutes and becomes annoying very quickly.
It seemed to happen after I installed 8.1, updated all the drivers, put in a faux leather case, and especially when I hold it on the sides (blocking the vents). Today it also happened while I was running a large resource program.
Is there any way to turn it off? Make it end quicker? Or any information?

Rob,
I've not heard of this before and will need to look into it. I think you are indicating that this seems to be a warning beep tied to an increase in system temps either driven by CPU loading or blocked air vents?
Thanks

How do I do a factory reset on my IdeaTab Lynx K3011?

I'm selling my IdeaTab Lynx K3011. I want to do a factory reset on it so the buyer can set it up as his or her own, and so my data/logins/passwords are gone from it. How do I go about doing that? Thanks,Chris

I use Rescue and Recovery for my backups.
Do you have Lenovo ONEKEY recovery program (OKR) installed on your system from the factory install?
If so, what version? 8.0?
There is limited documentation around about OKR. A Google/Bing search of "onekey recovery documentation will provide some items to view.
You state: recovery discs on DVD are not an option. .. Does this mean you do not have a DVD burner?
I will post 3 INFORMATIONAL links. One describes OKR 6.0, with a create recovery media on DVD or USB.
It is my understanding, which may be wrong, Lenovo does not ship recovery discs for systems with OKR. You must take the machine to a Lenovo shop to get HDD reset.

Touchpad configuration Ideatab Lynx K3011

I cant find where to configure the Touchpad on the attachable keyboard for the Ideatab Lynx. I need to disable tapping or at least lower the sensitivity as I am always accidently opening / closing windows, etc when using the touchpad due to my heavy hands. I dont find it under mouse like I would expect. Is there a Synaptic app I need to install? Thanks

Under Device Manager --> Mouse, do you have a tab after Hardware for Device Settings? If so, your detachable touchpad should be visible in there to disable settings.

Ideatab lynx K3011 not powering up/ won't turn on

The lynx is not powering up even when I connect it using the ac adapter. I do not have the dock. When I connect the AC adapter to the lynx [attatches below the windows button], the light by the power button will turn red. However, when I press the power button, it does not turn on. I tried holding the power button down.

hi wu1chef,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Try charging it for atleast 10 to 15 mins then Press or hold the power button again to turn it on,
I'm Thinking It has to have a back up charge Before it fully turns on.
Best Regards

Lenovo IdeaTab Lynx K3011 Windows 8 Will not boot to usb/dvd

I have tried almost everything, over the course of the past few day's, to get this tablet to boot to usb/dvd drive. Secure boot has been disabled. Cannot access a boot menu on startup. When using windows 8 boot manager and selecting boot to usb cd or usb hdd, the system simply restarts. I have tried many bootable usb keys formatted in ntfs or fat32 with windows xp(32bit), windows 7(32), or windows 8(32). I have also tried booting to a DVD's on a external dvd drive with xp(32), 7(32), or 8(32bit) with no success. Both devices in all cases are recognized in the (UEFI)bios boot manager and I am able to reset the boot order. I have tried hitting the f2 or the f12 keys when booting on an external keyboard. I have tried hitting the power button and the volume up button on startup but this does'nt work either. When I access the UEFI settings I do not have an option to enable legacy bios. The need I have is to boot to a Symantec Ghost usb key with Windows PE for imaging and deployment purposes, any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You.

I created a bootable 32bit following this thread ME400C Wipe and Clean and make sure the USB has to be 32bit and EFI bootable UEFI Bootable USB Flash Drive - Create in Windows.
The plug in your USB keyboard, mouse, Windows Setup USB Drive, change the boot order, disable Windows Boot Manager and it should detect the Windows Setup USB Drive.
**I won't know how to use an external DVD if you don't have access to create this USB drive.

IdeaTab Lynx K3011 - Black screen/no display on touchscreen but do get picture through HDMI

Cant see anything on my tablet, however when I connect it to a monitor via an HDMI cable, I can see that its on. It registers touches as well, just doesnt show any picture. How would I go about fixing this? Cheers.

Hi Kendo 121. You should try factory reset on your unit by following this guide https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles_pub/idea_tab_k3011w_ug/data/EN/index.htmlRemember that it causes lost of all data stored on unit. If issue is not solved, you should contact Authorised Service. Sincerely,D.

Won't start up - 3 long beeps and 1 short beep repeated

As I was watching Netflix, the display went crazy and displayed horizontal lines and the computer froze.
I held the power switch down to shut it off.
After restarting, seemed to work fine for a few minutes, then same thing happened.
Reset again. Seemed to start up fine (heard the chime and the hard drive going) but no display output.
Reset again. Got the start up chime, a white screen with horizontal lines, and I get 3 long beeps and 1 short beep repeatedly.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help in advance.

The beeps you're hearing means the system has no usable memory. You can try reseating the memory or swapping for other known working memory (pain as it is to open the mini up). Otherwise, typically that means it's new logic board time. See this Apple article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1547

Fail to boot (short-short-short-long beep code) after M92p BIOS Update

Hi,
I recently updated my BIOS to the latest version using the System Update tool from Lenovo. For a while everything seemed to be working alright, as the BIOS was dowloaded and the computer rebooted. After rebooting the first time i was presented with the BIOS utility, and noticed that the update was progressing.
After 20 or so seconds the computer rebooted again. This is where my problems began. The computer immediately started beeping this short-short-short-long melody from the speakers. I thought this was normal, so I left the computer on for quite a while.
However, the beeping never stopped. Now the beeping resumed the instant i plug the power back in. I have yet been able to actually getting any sort of information on-screen telling me what's wrong.
I've tried following the "Recovering from a POST/BIOS update failure" on page 267 of the Hardware Maintenance Manual, but no luck with that so far. No matter where I place the jumper, the beeping code is the same short-short-short-long melody (yeah, it sounds like a disney tune or something).
Any bright ideas? The machine type is a M92p 2992-B3G
I'd hate to have to send it in for repairs, and Lenovo's Norwegian support line doesn't open until Monday, and there seems to be no way to call their 800-number in the states from here
Oh, and would this be covered by my warranty if repairs / motherboard replacement is the only way out?
UPDATE #1:
I found this in the manual;
3 short beeps and then 1 long beep DRAM memory
error
Perform the following actions in order.
1. Make sure the memory module(s) are properly seated
in the connector(s).
2. Replace the memory module(s).
3. Replace the system board.
This is pretty much Lenovo's way of saying "You're screwed", isn't it?
UPDATE #2:
I've now tried pretty much everything;
The solution as proposed on page 267 in the Hardware Maintenance Manual
Unplugging all cables and harddrives before booting
Removing my PCIe video card and PCI Wireless NIC before booting
Removing all memory modules, and trying 1 and 1 module
Moved a memory module from another machine that I know is working
No luck so far.
Ideas would be welcome at this point

I'm glad to hear it's just a simple memory error, however the original problem in this post is a bit more than just a memory problem.
This became a problem after a BIOS update, so somewhere along the way one of Lenovo's developer screwed up badly, and it's been bugging me ever since. There's absolutely no way for me to use any PCI-e card with my M92p.
I've tried 6 different cards, 3-4 different memory module combinaties, with our without harddrives plugged in, and every thinkable combination of these.
No luck. Therefore, I simply conclude that Lenovo are dicks, and we all know what dicks enjoy doing; **bleep**ing people over.
I've given up on the issue, and I'll never buy a Lenovo again after this.

K8D Master-F 2 long beeps

I have a K8D Master-F, it makes 2 repeating long beeps (high and low pitch) after a few seconds when powering up. The CPU is in CPU1. If I move the CPU to socket 2, the board powers up but no beeps. The only time it beeps is then a CPU is in CPU1, also I tried 2 CPU's, One being an Opteron 244 and a 242 (No i am not using dual at this time). Having the RAM in or out seem to have no effect with getting the beeps. Any ideas?

More spec's please.....
Check the BIOS for case-open detection, turn it off....
If it still makes the noise, check the piowersupply.
Also, JPWR2 should NOT be connected....

I cannot boot up my Mac book and all I get is a long beep

I cannot boot up my Mac book and all I get is a long beep
Have tried checking the keypad and no luck
Is this a logic board issue or is it something else?

My daughters Mac crashed mid assignment and after hours for phone support. So was looking to see if there was anything we could do here. Your advice is correct but the issue was "long beeps". Which are generally a serious issue and not one that we are going to be able to deal with. Like the icon .... and do appreciate the fact that you were happy to help. cheers

I have HP Envy 4, Long beep sound while starting up and in password it autotype.

Yes, I can see that now..

All Iwe got connected now is the JPW(4-pin square), JPWR(normal 4-pin) and ATX1(24-pin)
Thanks for the tip, sadly it wasnt enough :P..

Mac Pro early 2008 power off suddenly alone and gives a long beep on startup

Hello everyone! Can you resolve the problem reported? I have 6 equipaments identical to those with the same problem, some worse than others, and only two barely functioning, others are stopped. They power normally and suddenly alone they power off , and after that I only can power on again , after hours waiting or only the next day , and when it's power on , on startup , they give me a long beep , before the chime , then I can work for a time (minutes or long time , it's not secure)
I talked with Apple Computer (from USA) and they do not assume that the problem exists and that many users have the same problem, worldwide.
If you're not satisfied with the result of Apple, we will have to press them to assume the defect and promote a recall on these equipments. We have many users with the same issue (MacPro off alone)

All places where I have my equipments (they are in 4 different places, but I have tested them in all four locations), are electrically grounded, the electrical networkstabilized, reviewed annually and I use UPS minimum of 1.5 KVA (I have two UPS of 3.75 KVA) . I tested with the original HDD , with all the applications that I use installed , only with the system installed and the same procedure on a new HDD and got the same result . So , it is not eletrical problem . I have iMacs , MacBooks , G5 and MacPro early 2009 working in the same places with no problems . I tested all the sites with three different electricians and all
approved my Electric networks . As I know, all Apple equipment have
surge protection, precisely to prevent thecomponents from being damaged
by electrical problems. Again , it is not eletrical problem .
