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:

  • 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.

    Sameer

  • Scroll down with the mouse while the crop tool window is open

    I would like to know if there is a way to scroll down with the mouse while the crop tool window is open, like in Acrobat 5.0. If not with the mouse, is there another shortcut to go through the pages and adjust the size of the crop and see it on different pages? Thanks!

    Yes, but I won't see what I'm cropping if I cannot scroll down while the window is open. Thank you for answering anyway!

  • When I scroll down in facebook my screen turns black.

    When I scroll down on facebook my screen turns black for a few seconds. In the past, it used to do it only on tumblr, but it hasn't happened there in quite a while.
    At that time, I actually thought it was do to my computers memory (I tend to leave my computer on a lot and I also tend to have many active windows and tabs) but now, it sometimes does it within only a few minutes of restarting my computer, when I haven't done a whole lot, so I don't think it's memory.
    It has only happened on those sites and on both, there's infinite scrolling and constant loading of information, so perhaps it's to do with that.
    It always comes back after a couple seconds if I continue to scroll, but if I stop scrolling, it stays black indefinitely.
    I do have a screenshot showing exactly what it does, but I wasn't sure how to submit it, but I'd be happy to do so, if needed, if I can get some instructions on how to do it.
    At this time, it's more annoying than anything else, but if it's a sign of a bigger issue with my computer, I need to figure it out.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Aha! Here's a screenshot of what it does .... As you can see, it's not the whole screen that is black. Just the part I want to read ...

  • Trying to rebuild my iphoto library from time machine backup and it still says 0 restored with a grey screen and the circle. How can i restore my library?

    I just bought a new Macbook pro and i tried to rebuild my iphoto library from a time machine backup on an external hard drive. Even after pressing command+option when starting iphoto and selecting rebuild library from automatic backup, it still doesn't work with the grey screen with the white circle and a little window that says 'rebuilding library: 0 versions restored'. I also tried to make a copy of my iphoto library but that did not work either. how can i restore my iphoto library or at least gain access to my photos?

    Your question is not clear
    Rerairing or rebuilding the iPhoto library never involves using Time Machine in any way
    TM is a totally seperate program and you can "restore" a file (including the iPhoto library) from the past using TM - you launch TM and go back to the time you want and select the file (or folder or package) you want and click restore - it probably is best to keep the current one until you are sure everything is good

  • After installing Mavericks my MacBook Pro and my MacMini can't shut down, only a grey screen and finish. Must be killed by the power button. Why?

    After installing Mavericks my MacBook Pro and my MacMini can't shut down, only a grey screen and finish. Must be killed by the power button. Why?
    Nach der Installation von Mavericks kann ich weder das MacBook Pro (2 x 2.4 GHz) noch den MacMini (2 x 2.66 GHz) herunterfahren. Es bleibt ein dauerhafter grauer Bildschirm. Nach 20 min habe ich einen erzwungenen Neustart durchgeführt.
    Ausserdem startet die Macs wesentlich langsamer als mit OS X 10.6.8.

    same here...  sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't!!

  • Can't reset my systeem admin account and all startpunt options respons with a grey screen, lock and line for password

    i bought a 2nd hand iMac 21'5, 2010. First I installed Mavericks and entered a password which I forgot, and did not activate my appleid at that time.
    when trying to install a new bought program, I had to enter the sys adm acoount password which I had forgotten.
    TRied the options found on internet, but did not have a mavericks startup disk. downloaded Mavericks again and then tried to creatie a startpunt disk. did not work as mavericks immediately started with the installation.
    Got the original Mac os X cd from the person I brought the iMac from, but now found that I cannot use the CMD r option. then my Mac opens with a grey screen, a lock and only allow a password input.
    None of the startup options (eg d) are working anymore and or end up in the grey startup screen asking a password or just ingenomen the request and starts the Mac and is fully operational without full access to the systeem functions (as these require the systeem password which I forgotten). However my Mac still starts and I use mail and internet Ans all other installed programs. but I cannot create an account as I do not know the sys adm. password.
    When using terminal and give the command mountain -uw / I receive the reply:
    GetMasterBlock: Error 13 opening /dec/rdisk0s2
    mount-hfs: Operation not permitted.
    CAn somebody help me how to reset my system, even if this means I loose all data? I bought all software in the iStore, so asume I can re-install it anyway.

    Ask the person you bought it from for the firmware password and supply that into the box. You'll then be able to use the Option key shortcut and can get into the recovery partition to reset the administrator password.

  • When I try to download something from Safari a new tab comes up with a grey screen?

    I use Safari 4.1.3 and whenever I go to download something, a new tab comes up with a grey screen. It doesn't load anything, it just stays there. How do I fix this? And when I go to Activity, it says in red letters plug-in cancelled? Please help?

    Hi,
    Quit Safari.
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left then open the Library folder then the Safari folder.
    Move the Downloads.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari. See if that made a difference.

  • Why does my Mac boot with a Grey screen and a globe?

    Why does my Mac boot with a Grey screen and a globe?

    Usually means you don't have a bootable system installed so the OS is looking for a bootable system on the network.
    Does the computer eventually start up shortly after the globe appears? If so then open Startup Disk preferences, select your boot volume and click on the Restart button. If this is not the case then you need to reinstall Snow Leopard.
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • Lenovo IdeaPad U410 - PowerButton Flashing LED

    I have removed Battery and CMOS battery to trouble shoot this U410 which often will not POST.
    If I plug in the AC power supply I press the power button very briefly it flashes on and off a few times.
    Press to turn off then press again and it comes on and stays on, then it WILL POST and I get the expected:
    CMOS battery failure
    FI to continue, F2 to enter set up…..
    F1 and it boots normally into Windows 7 but of course the date and time are way off…..
    Can someone tell me what is happeneing when the Power Button LED flashes on and off?? Whatever it is..it is clearing the block to this thing POSTing..will always POST after this...

    That really doesn't indicate much of anything as there are no light error codes for your model.  The light is just an indication that the machine is trying to boot up before shutting down. 
    You might try stripping all the hardware out of the laptop and then see if the boot up is any different with and without the CMOS battery installed.  Remove the hard drive, optical drive, wireless card and bluetooth if it is installed. If you have more than one memory module try them one at a time and in different slots.

  • What's with the grey screen telling me to power down?

    So this has happened several times recently where after I've runned some programs, then this grey screen scrolls in with the power button symbol, telling me to shut down. I'm just wondering if this has something to do with my hardware or battery or power supply?
    I've thought that I should run the hardware test, but I can never get it to boot up. You're supposed to hold down the option button till the startup manager shows up, right? But the screen remains black when I do it. Is this somehow related to my other question?

    That's a kernel panic.

  • Lenovo Ideapad y550: shuts down when unplugged, wont start on battery. new battery did nothing.

    Hello wonderful Lenovo user's and guru's! I have recieved a Lenovo Ideapad y550 from a pawn shop. I grabbed it because I knew this was a pretty good computer. I thought I could fix any problems it has and it would be just fine. =] So this laptop shuts down instantly if I unplug the power cord. Just dies, no time to do any saving or lights to blink. Just instant shutdown. Also when I try to power it on when its unplugged from the AC, it does nothing. Also shuts off in the middle of playing guild wars 2. No other games shut off on me. When I realized I had this problem, I ordered a new battery for my model of laptop. The new battery is doing the exact same thing as the other battery that was in it. It seems the computer has a fresh install of windows except with a .old folder in the C drive. So I am guessing someone did some sort of reformat or recover? the recovery was done through the Pawn Shop. It seems that it has windows 7 64 bit.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Ideapad u410 now shipping with windows 8

    Lenovo -- what is going on????
    http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/we​b/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:category.det​...
    All the u410 models are shipping with windows 8... yet your support site win 8 upgrade guide has not been updated. 
    Personally, I already returned my u410 because of this mess, but there are a lot of people here who deserve an answer.

    I figured out Lenovo's scheme:
    1) offer no assistance whatsoever and remain completely silent when asked repeatedly to outline the steps to upgrade the U410 to windows 8
    2) meanwhile, ship the NEW U410 with Windows 8 pre-installed and only 6gb ram for $799:
    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/pd/Len​ovo-IdeaPad-U410-Notebook/productID.256043800/sear​...
    3) reduce the price on the Windows 7 U410 to $599:
    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/pd/Len​ovo-IdeaPad-U410-4376/productID.250640400/search.t​...
    So, the only way to get a PROPER win 8 install on the U410 is to pay an extra $200.
