Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 - Wakes up when lid is closed when power button is pressed

Hello everyone
Got my Yoga 13 back in mid December, and so far I have been really happy with it.
However, just recently I noticed a critical problem; When the lid is closed, and the power button is pressed, the laptop wakes itself up. Actually once mine woke up when I might have accidentally pressed the power button when placing it inside the sleeve bag. It stayed in my bag for a good 2 hours and heated the hell out of everything (85 Celsius!!), even some color off of the sleeve burned into the side of the yoga (not too noticeable, didn't really care about it). It survived however, no internal damages or performance reduction as I have thoroughly tested everything.
So is this suppose to happen? My brother has a Sony VAIO which is close to 3 years old and has Windows 7 on it, and it also has the power button on the outside inside the round hinges. When I press the power button while lid is closed, it doesn't wake up. How come the Yoga wakes up when the power button is pressed during lid closed? Or do I just have a bad unit?
Thank you.

Still waiting for an update on this...Haven't had the problem as I am now extra cautious.
As person above me mentioned, even if it turns itself on it doesn't go back to sleep as per battery schedule which is strange (i.e. something keeps it awake). This is my first Lenovo laptop, and I have been using this laptop rigorously for pretty much everything from VMs, rendering, photo/video editing, presentations etc. and have nothing but praises and positive things to say about this. But I absolutely cannot recommend this to anyone at my work place, not even my boss. If this problem exists, they will end up having their machine destroyed without it being really their fault. Lenovo please fix this, and you will have a loyal for life customer.

  • Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 Recovery Issues

    I'm very disappointed from Lenovo for producing Laptop without complete recovery solution.
    I mistakely formated the hard drive of Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13, so I lost the recovery, so I called Contact Centre and they pointed me to Jumbo Electronics Company in Abu Dhabi of which are aotherized to do services for Lenovo. I went to them to save time, and get my laptop back to the initial state of which I bought, instead of getting the original state of how I bought the laptop which was:
    1. Windows 8.1 Single Language.
    2. All Drivers are Installed.
    3. At Start-Up, I should be getting to put in my sync account while it's preparing windows for first use.
    I got the following:
    1. Windows 8 Single Language installed. (Not 8.1)
    2. Drivers are installed.
    3. Recovery is supposed to be back.
    4. Local User Account "Lenovo" was created.
    OK, Skip it, it's fine. I thought about trying to do recovery to make sure of the recovery working before I do back up of it, here is what I got:
    1. Windows 8 Single Language Installed (Not 8.1)
    2. Not all drivers are installed (For ex. Wireless Driver which is very important for this laptop since no LAN no other connection except wireless)
    So I thought they gave me the non-original recovery because of the missing drivers which was not believable to me.
    I contacted "Service Centre for IdeaPad Within UAE" ended up telling me that that was the original copy of the Recovery and Yes, it does not Install the Wireless Drivers! And that he himself tried it at his side and confirms it!
    Can somebody explain to me how come that I paid for recovery to recover the laptop to the initial state and I did not get the real initial state of the laptop?
    How come at the service centre they don't tell me "Warning" about the wireless and that I have to download and back-up the drivers before doing the recovery of the laptop?
    How come actually Lenovo produces a laptop with recovery missing drivers?
    VERY DISAPPOINTING! VERY ANGRY AT LENOVO! If I CAN RETURN THE LAPTOP AND BUY FROM DIFFERENT BRAND, I WOULD DO SO!
    BIOS FEATURES ARE POOR NO BOOTING FROM SD CARD AVAILABLE!
    WIRELESS IS POOR IN QUALITY WHILE ITS THE ONLY AND MAIN CONNECTION FOR THE LAPTOP!
    Simply you are SELLING half Quality Products, WORST RECOVERY SOLUTIONS EVER! AND EXPENSIVE FOR NOTHING!
    VERY DISAPPOINTED AT LENOVO PRODUCTS FROM THE FIRST IMPRESSION OF LENOVO IDEAPAD YOGA 13!

    I have the same problem.  If I continually power cycle the machine (either via CTRL-ALT-DEL or the switch) combined with either plugging or unplugging it from power I can eventually get it to boot up.  No idea how to fix it yet.  I noticed that the fan doesnt seem to be running when it doesn't boot and it is almost like it has to "warm up" or something before it will boot to the hard drive.  Any fixes would be greatly appreciated.

  • How can i get my macbook pro too stay on and not sleep when lid is closed?

    how can i get my macbook pro too stay on and not sleep when lid is closed?

    If the machine is asleep, lid closed, and you plug in to an external monitor and an external USB keyboard, the machine will wake, anbd reconfigure the screen resolution for the external monitor, Once it has made this configuration change, you can open the lid and it will continue to address only the external monitor.  At least that's how my early MacBook Pro unibody 13" works. It seems to run a bit cooler this way. It gets quite toasty with the lid closed while doing anything demanding and you are more likely to hear the fan come on.  I have not seen any temps that would cause alarm, but I do get a high speed (6000 rpm), noisy fan sometimes with the lid closed, .
    If you operate in the open-lid, external monitor only mode, if you deactivate the monitor for any reason, when it reactivates it will be running both screens, with all the navigation hassles this entails, so I generally set it not to deactivate the screen when in this mode.
    Thus I agree with those who say that some of the cooling air is drawn in around the keyboard, the difference in cooling performance is observable.  If you activate istat pro, get the computer hot running in clamshell mode, and open the lid, you can watch the CPU temp drop by a few degrees C within a couple minutes.  It isn't a huge difference, but enough the lower the fan speeds.

  • HP Palion dv7 Notebook PC will not power up when power button is pressed.

    My HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC will not  power on when the power button is pressed. I have removed the battery, unplugged the AC adapter and pressed the power button for 15+ seconds then plugged in the AC adapter and pressed the power button for 15+ seconds. Then I release the power button and then press the power button again and the Notebook will power up and operate normally. I can reinstall the battery once it has powered up. What is causing this problem and how do I remedy the problem?

    Hello Griff83147,
    Unfortunately there could be a number of different things that caused that issue from drivers, software, possibly hardware. I am glad you got it up and running but there isn’t a clear picture of what actually caused. If a technician got the chance to work on it then they could at least narrow it down.
    Sorry I could not answer your question, but this is one of those questions that can have multiple answers.
    If you have any further questions don’t hesitate to ask.
    Thanks

    My Macbook Pro 17" 2.44ghz all of a sudden one day decided to not boot up. When the power button is pressed the sleep light in the front on the latch release turns on and there is a small running sound but it never boots up and the screen never lights up. Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas?
    I'd love to repair it but not if it'll cost 500 bucks or more to replace the logicboard.
    I appreciate any help

    Lao Bo,
    yes, you can locate and copy a file from your HD to a USB key using UNIX commands. If you know the exact name of the file which you’re trying to locate, try this:
    find / -iname filename -print
    This command will search your entire internal disk for the particular filename. If you know that it’s within a particular user account, then you can save search time with this variation:
    find /Users/username -iname filename -print
    Either variation of this command will print all files found which have the given filename. Presuming that you’re able to identify the correct file, you can copy it to a USB key using the command
    cp -p filename_returned_by_find /Volumes/USB_volume
    If you’re not sure which volume name your USB key has, this command will show you what the possibilities are:
    ls /Volumes
    Please let me know if you have any trouble with these commands.

  • Why does Satellite Pro A300 not start when the power button is pressed?

    Suddenly my new Satellite Pro A300 will not start correctly when the power button is pressed. The situation is this: When I press the power button the Toshiba opening picture (Leading Innovation) appears and disappers quickly. Then there is a black screen for about 30 seconds. Then there is a rectangular frame with the text Microsoft Corporation underneath. And nothing happens however long I wait.
    In order to get on with the starting proces I then shut down the computer by pressing down the power button until the computer stops. ("The hard way to shut down")
    Now I press the power button shortly to turn on the computer. Then the computer starts normally with the Toshiba opening picture and after a few seconds I am asked to open the computer in safe mode or in normal mode. I now choose to open in normal mode and the computer opens normally and is ready to work.
    What shall I do to get a normal start procedure?

    When notebook starts normally (after choosing normal mode) shut down your notebook properly using START > Shut down option. Next start should be normal.
    When the OS is switched down on irregular way you will be always asked how to start it again (safe or normal mode).
    The same happen on my Satellite A300.

  • Problem with multi-touch screen when lid is closed

    I have a T400s with the MT screen, running a clean installed Win 7 32-bit and all latest Lenovo drivers/BIOS.
    I use external screen/keyboard/mouse at work so I am used to have the lid closed. I set in power management in the way that closing the lid does not do anything (e.g., sleep or hibernate).
    The problem is: when the lid is fully closed and external mouse is used, the mouse cursor randomly moves and clicks. When random clicks happen, I can see the finger-tap animation near the cursor on the external screen, suggesting that the MT screen receives input even when the lid is closed! It might be heat from the palm rest/keyboard area causing fake taps.
    Leaving the lid slightly open (like 15 degrees) solves this problem.
    EDIT 1: another clue of the above problem is that while the lid is closed, Windows 7's tablet input panel shows up on the left edge, which typically appears after a tap or a tablet pen gets close to the screen. I also noticed that the random clicks take place near the right edge of the screen.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    @ wesleyyin,
    certainly strange. Some questions to help with the diagnostics;
    Which TrackPoint cap you you have on your keyboard, soft domed, soft rim or classic domed (the hairy one)?
    Can you try disabling the TrackPoint to see the problem goes away?
    Anything else laid on top of the system or between screen and keyboard like a thin cloth or something?
    Thanks

  • MacBook Pro (mid 2012) turns on when lid is closed and MagSafe gets attached or detached.

    I own a mid-2012 Macbook Pro with the 15" high resolution screen add-on (it's the model that was released alongside the new retina versions). The processor is a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7. I run OS X 10.8.4.
    I'd like to know if the following behavior is normal: when the computer is sleeping with the lid closed, and the MagSafe adaptor is either attached or detached, removing it or attaching it (with the lid still closed) will make the computer wake up from sleep. You can easily hear the fans starting when it does so. It'll stay on for 30 seconds to a minute, and then go back to sleep again. The screen doesn't seem to turn on when this happens and the lid is closed. Opening the lid when the computer exhibits this behavior results in a black (and useless) screen. In order to be able to use the pc you need to wait until it goes back to sleep on its own and then turn it back on. 
    Another (possibly related) issue appears when the PC turns off automatically (either while running or during sleep) because the battery is exhausted. When this happens, I usually attach the adapter (with the lid open, most of the times) and then press on the power button. A black-and-white screen with a loading bar appears for a few seconds, and then the full-color login screen appears (my pc is set to ask for the password every time it wakes from sleep). After the loading bar is gone and the full-color screen is back, I am unable to input my password, even though the password field looks focused. Neither the keyboard nor the mouse are responsive. This often happens in such a way that it is impossible for me to input my password (or interact with my pc) before it goes back to sleep for lack of interaction. Recently I've discovered that randomly pressing the power button and some keys on the keyboard (I still don't know what exactly triggers this) will make it able to receive input and thus I'll be able to type in my password and log in. 
    I'd like to know if any of you have encountered the two behaviors I've described and if you think they're normal or have any solutions for them.

    Hello terabytest,
    I would be concerned too if my MacBook Pro exhibiting the behavior you described.  For a message like this, I recommend resetting your System Management Controller (SMC) and NVRAM.
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Can MBP wake up if lid is closed?

    I use and online backup program that I'd like to have run during the night. I know I can set my energy saver so that when the MBP is plugged in it can wake up and go to sleep on a schedule. My plan was to set the computer to wake up when plugged in at 1AM and set my online backup program to backup at 1AM. However, it looks like if the lid is closed, it can't wake up.
    Is this so? If so, is there a way I could easily change the setting for what closing the lid does in terms of sleep, etc.?
    Thanks

    I don't see why you need to close the lid at all, unless you're transporting it overnight like on a plane trip. I sleep my MacBook Pro at night, but I leave the lid open since it's on my desk and there is no real reason to close it if it's not moving from there and I'm just going to open it up again in the morning anyway. I leave it open and when I want to sleep it I just press the Power button and then the S button to hit the Sleep button. After that, there is no problem with any automatic wake/sleep setting you want to run, because it's open.

    There are a few programs that will wake the machine while the lid is closed, but some have found this as the surest way to overheat their machines. The only time you might want to operate when the lid is closed with safety, would be if you attached an external display.
    Again, that is only true if it was inside a case. If it was closed and the laptop is out in the open, there should not be an overheat hazard since that is the normal situation when running in lid closed mode. Still, I do not use or recommend those force-wake hacks.

    Once nice advantage of MacBooks and MacBook Pros, also seen by iBooks and Powerbooks is that the brightness key will dim the screen all the way down. So you might want to just turn off Energy Saver, leave the lid open, and dim the screen the whole way down, if you need a dark room but still want to backup in the middle of the night.
    I used to do this but it isn't necessary. Just hit the shortcut to sleep the screen. (Control Shift Eject on my MBP.) Or use the Exposé preference to set a corner as the "Sleep Display" corner and when you move the mouse there, bam the screen goes dark but the machine is still on. The advantages of these two methods is that you don't have to remember what setting the screen was on before you turned it to zero, and since they take effect instantly, they're faster than leaning on the brightness keys.
