Lenovo Ideapad S400 touchpad stoped working

My touchpad stoped working and need help

Update!
This is by no means solved, but I do think it's >improved<.
I found a newer driver (v. 11.4.7.1). The mouse pointer still has some delay, but it isn't as unbearable as it was before. I do find that the left click "button" is not always reliable (the single tapping is more reliable). But it's better and corroborates my thought that this is mainly a software issue. I also disabled all the multi-finger functions.
The link for the new driver is here: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS032199
Let me know if you find this helpful!

Lenovo ideapad s400 startup problem

i have lenovo ideapad s400 with windows7 was working good, but now its hanging Starting Windows please help

hi kuraysi,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Just to check, if you boot in Safe Mode, are you able to load Windows? If booting to Safe Mode works, perform a clean boot and observe. This will isolate any possible 3rd party software that might be inteferring with the Windows startup.
If that doesn't work and Windows is hanging up on the loading screen then we're probably looking at a corrupted Windows file or a bad hardware. In this case, you may need to:
1. Reload the system via the OneKey Recovery (note that all ways on the OS partition will be wiped)
2. If reloading Windows doesn't work or the machine freezes up then you're prolly looking at a bad hardware (possibly the HDD).
Let me know how it goes.
Regards

Ideapad S400 touchpad jumpy when ethernet cable plugged in

I have an Ideapad S400. Lately when i plug in my ethernet cable(router, switch, different cable, tried everything) the touchpad behaves erratic, but only if i run on battery.
Have updated drivers, reinstalled windows even tried ubuntu... same results.
I'm concerned it may be a hardware issue.
Anyone had similar problems?
FIx?
Thank you in advance
Solved!

Lenovo IdeaPad U510 touchpad scrolling with 2 fingers

Hello. I bought a lenovo ideapad u 510 yesterday and I think I have a problem. whenever i try scrolling with 2 fingers i have to press harder than when i am simply just moving the pointer with 1 finger. is this normal? on my old laptop i didn't had to press harder with 2 fingers, but here if i don't the touchpad thinks i am using just one.

This is your second post : "PS: i donwloaded the latest drivers from elan website and I also edited the sensitivity to light touch which is maximum."
So which touchpad do you really have? Elan or Synaptic?

Satellite C850-1G3 touchpad stoped working - keyboard very flexing

I purchased a new C850-1G3. Touchpad doesn't work well, sometime stop to working (also during Win8 first installation). The keyboard has bad feeling: very very flexing (like netbook of some year ago).
Feels cheap.
What do you think about? Touchpad stop working is normal?
Thnks

>Feels cheap.
The Satellite C850-1G3 is a cheap notebook. You can get it for about 370 Euros.
>Touchpad stop working is normal?
Even if the notebook is cheap, the touchpad should work properly.
But what do you mean exactly by stopped working?
Can you enable or disable the touchpad by pressing Fn + F5 (or just F5)??
Did you try to modify the touchpad settings? (can be found in control panel -> mouse -> last tab pointing device -> settings)

Lenovo Ideapad U410: Display not working after sleep and/or restart

Hello all,
I am recently having some inconsistent display issues with my Lenovo U410 laptop i7 1TB with a Windows 8 PRO upgrade (came with windows 7).
When I press the Power Button on my laptop to put it to sleep, the Screen turns black as if it is off, but the Power & Battery LEDs on the front of the laptop remain on, as well as the LED on the power button. However, when I try to wake my laptop, there is no response on the screen (remaining black as if it is off). The internal fan is running, however I receive no feedback when "blindly" trying to input my password.
I've tried to turn the power off and back on to no avail. I've also removed the power source and held the power button for a couple of seconds and that did not solve the issue either. I've tried connecting the laptop to a screen via HDMI (since there is no other AV port on the device), but there was no signal being sent through.
This is an inconsistent issue that began yesterday 6/11/2013. When the laptop is left alone for a little and is turned on again, the display works, but after closing the lid (sleep) or pressing the button, the display fails to turn on upon awakening.
In most recent circumstances, Today (6/12/2013) I was installing a Windows update that required my computer to restart. When the update configured perfectly BEFORE it was restarting, but AFTER the restart, my internal fan began to work, but the display was not on.
Does anybody or Tech support know what may cause this inconsistent behavior? or know any solutions to this issue?

I am facing similar problem - post sleep & sometimes on touchpad event - the screen gets stuck & a strange array of gray screen comes or the existing screen's colors get distorted & the laptop gets stuck.
model - Lenovo U410; 64 Bit; Windows 7 Home basic;, Intel core i5 processor
I have upgraded display drivers but that hasn't changed anything. Any help is appreciated.

Lenovo IdeaPad Flex15 WiFi not working

IdeaPad Flex 15. Changed drivers to the latest from Intel. 17.1.0.19 from 7/21/2014 and the system always drop down in a few mins. I changed the power settings so fixed the issue with sleep mode. (when close laptop, and oipen, the card was not working anymore until manual disable/enable device).
Now it works, but lost connection and need to be at least switched off and on to reconnect network.
I want a quick solution please or take the laptop back and give me more mone. I'm not able to continuously work with that device and it is pain to have it. I just feel it was really bad investment into this device.. and to know that before, never will buy it.

hi oxley
Sorry to hear about your Wi-FI trouble.
If you have the Intel® Wireless-N 7260 (Single Band, Wi-Fi + Bluetooth) combo card, can you try the following:
1. Install Version: 17.0.6 (Latest) from the Intel site:
File name: Wireless_17.0.6_De164.exe
Version: 17.0.6 (Latest)
Date: 08/11/2014
Size: 21.35 MB
Language: English
Operating Systems: Windows 8.1, 64-bit*
2. Disable the Bluetooth (see this guide)
3. Set the power management settings of the Wireless Card and the PC to High Performance (see Method 2 and 3 of this guide)
When done, do a continuous ping via the command prompt (eg. ping -t www.google.com) and observe. If you get continuous reply and no connection drop / request timed out then that means the Wi-Fi connection is stable.

Lenovo ideapad s405 touchpad mouse problem

Hi to all
I bought this laptop a week ago and I installed windows 8 pro edition
I have a problem: when I press a button in the keyboard I can't move the touchpad (so I can't use,for example,games because I can't move the the view of the character)
What can I do? There aren't problems when I push CTRL or ALT or buttons that don't write something.Thanks

hi Razorbacktrack,
Your issue might be similar to this thread.
If your PC came with a Synaptics Touchpad, can you try to:
1. Go to the Control Panel (large icon view) then > click Mouse > Device Settings tab > Settings
2. Under the Synaptics Settings, go to Pointing > Sensitivity > Palmcheck and set the palm sensitivity to minimum and test the game.
Spoiler (Highlight to read)
If you have an ELAN touchpad, try to:
3. Adjust the PalmTracking option under Additional Tab on the ELAN Smart Pad settings to the minimum (see spoiler)
4.If same problem, press WindowsKey+R then type appwiz.cpl. From the program list, uninstall lenovo pointing device, reboot.the PC and test (you can re-install this later by nagvigating to D:\Drivers\Touchpad).
Spoiler (Highlight to read)
Let me know your findings.
Cheers

Lenovo ideapad S400, battery not charging when plugged in

Hi, I had the problem where the battery didn't charge at all even if it was connected in the right way and the charger was plugged in. So I started to search internet for possible solutions. Those I found where to 1) disable alt uninstall ac and acpi adapter in Windows Device Manager. Restart computer.. Not charging problem is related to some Windows issue. 2) Choose the alternative "maximum battery life" in Lenovo Energy management.. Neither worked after several and time consuming tries... The problem here is Lenovos "smart" Energy management system that prevents the computer from charging the battery to "save it".. Solution: Uninstall Energy Management (Publisher: Lenovo) under Program and Features in Windows Control Panel and the problem is solved.. And don't reinstall this **bleep**ty program again....

I should note that this unit is pretty new: purchased in august 2012.

Hello rabsr-
Welcome to the Best Buy Forums!
Sometimes learning all the features and programs on a new computer can be intimidating and you may need help. I know I’ve run into this roadblock before and it definitely can ruin some of the excitement of a new purchase.
With that being said, most manufacturers will not offer in-depth instructions on the programs they’ve created without charging for it. However, many times you can find tutorials online that may help you get the most out of that program or at least get you going in the right direction. My recommendation would be to search out the name of this program on your favorite search engine and see what you can find.
Hopefully you can find something that will help you get the most out of this program and computer.
Sincerely,

Lenovo Ideapad S400 no arranca despues de sacarle bateria

Hola, ¿cómo están? Necesito saber si tengo algún tipo de solución, el caso es el siguiente: estaba usando la computadora normalmente, estaba con un USB 3G luego le saqué la batería encendida, (ya lo había hecho una vez antes, y después al ponerla y encender sucede que no arrancó y la dejé descargar y al cargarla y encender de nuevo sí prendió) pero en esta oportunidad hice lo mismo pero igual no arrancó, entro en recuperación y le doy a la opción de (no recuerdo si restaurar o que decía restaurar o recuperar, algo así) sin perder los archivos.. Pero en el proceso se sale la batería por no cerrar bien el "interruptor" entonces cuando la enciendo dice "recuperación, el equipo debe repararse,
No se puede acceder a un dispositivo requerido o este no esta conectado. Código de error 0xc000000f deberá usar las herramientas de recuperación de su medio de instalación. Si carece de un medio de instalación (como un disco o un dispositivo USB) pongase en contacto con el administrador del sistema o fabricante del equipo
Presione entrar para intentarlo de nuevo, f8 para configuración de inicio y esc para la configuración de firmware uefi.
Si le doy a entre sale

Cuando la compré trajo Windows 8 Single Language y siempre que me pedía actualización lo hacía.
Yo compre un dvd de windows 8 SL para ver si lo podía reinstalar, lo coloco con un lector externo, muestra el logo de windows pero nada, a la media hora sale algo en pantalla azul con un he tratado de hacer un ISO en USB en la computadora de mesa de mi hermano que tiene xp 32 bit con rufus y con ese USB sale lo mismo, logo de windows y pantalla e negro, si entro con la tecla novo y le doy a recovery ella dice loading files.. Hace como si quiere encender, logo de lenovo el circulo cargando pero a negro y después lo mismo que debe repararse..
Yo le eliminé el office ese que tenía que descargar para usar ya que no traía ni word ni nada, le instalé uno con un dvd de mi hermano, hace falta ese disco para algo??? Que puedo hacer??? Perdí todos los archivos del disco duro?? No tiene arreglo?? Ayuda, gracias. El USB que uso tiene 8GB. Hace falta mas capacidad?
¡Resuelto!
Ir a solución.

Hola CRJ08 que tal,
El código que mencionas se relaciona con el erro al arranque de Windows, puede ser ocasionado por el proceso de restauración se pasmo en pleno proceso.
Ya has intentado crear un USB de recuperación desde otro ordenador con Windows 8 e intentar repara?
Dices que cargar una imagen de Windows para re-instalar el sistema de cero pero has modificado algo en BIOS?, luego del Logo de Lenovo carga unos círculos en pantalla negra quiere decir que intenta acceder ala primera carga de Windows al decirte que necesita reparar no esta cargando la imagen de instalación, ten en cuenta que una instalación de cero elimina todo en C.

Exhausted of my Lenovo ideapad

In Lenovo Ideapad Z80,Touchpad was not working after 4 months of purchase. After complaining several times a technician came after one and half month and couldn't solve, aslo created a new problem of led light buttons not working. The second technician came after 15 days and again unable to resolve it. Now the third one came after 1month and while resolving it he has created multiple issues. It is a seer waste of time and this is the 3rd time that the technician is unable to resolve all the problem and creating new issues everytime. I'm totally tired of them. This issue is pending for about 3 months. Please let me know how could I complain to higher authority.

@ hankc1949
Im from the philippines also, i have been to the service center several times already for various issues and my k1 is barely 2 months old. for 490$ you paid, that is really annoying to get a replacement k1 unit just to say you have you have a barely running/useful unit. Thats horrible support and excuse.
My thoughts on this is that its going to take sometime for a fully working motherboard replacement to arrive so they gave a you replacement that is barely usefull and has issues itself so that it will take you off their back while you agonizingly wait for your replacement. And you cant demand a exteneion of warrant since you have technicaly a running unit. why dont they just wait for the replacement motherboard to arrive and give your k1 fully working if the time to get one is reasonable? So far giving you a defective unit as a replacement is causing you more aggravation and frustration than just waiting for a decent replacement motherboard.
You cant also escalate the issue to consumer protection agencies because you were technically issued a temporary replacement. Which technically is not the same one as you paid form in terms of quality and function.
You need to go to the lenovo philippines face book page and strongly complain and express your issues. It gets their attention due to the bad rep and cut your waiting time alot because they will take notice and personally contact you.
