Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga Camera problem

Hi all, I had my screen replaced under warranty a few months ago due to the retention problem, after I got it back I noticed the webcam wasn't working I didn't put much thought into it and thought i had to update drivers since it had been replaced. Now I have come to get to the bottom of the problem and realised its looking like a hardware problem as windows reports the camera is not connected in device manager and no tricks seem to get it working. Looking at other posts it seems that it may be an issue withe folding design of the yoga putting stress on the connecting cables. Either that or it was not re-connected properly during the warranty repair which seems to make more sense..... Unfortunately my warranty has now expired (a couple of months) so it leaves me in a terrible predicament, does anyone have any ideas or anyone from Lenovo able to help me?  Thanks Steve

Looking at the webcam area now I think they have forgotten to put a webcam back in! has anybody got a close up picture of the webcam "hole" I can compare as it looks like there is either nothing there or the lens is like a pinhole........

  • Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga OS Upgrading

    Hi All,
                 I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga laptop, Model no is 20CDA016HH. In this windows 8 Home edition is already installed. My doubt is that, can I upgrade the windows 8 Home Edition to Windows 8.1 Pro Edition. What should I do for that.
    Advance thanks for you kind support.
    Regards,

    There should be an installer somewhere on your computer - look for a file called "iTunesSetup.exe" (32-bit) or "iTunes6464Setup.exe" (64-bit) - you'll almost certainly have got the second of these on a Windows 8 machine.  Then double-click on this file to install iTunes.  If you can't find the files, the direct links are here:
    iTunes 12.1.1.4 (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
    iTunes 12.1.1.4  (64-bit) - itunes6464setup.exe
    iTunes 12.1.1.4  (64-bit "for older video cards") - iTunes64Setup.exe
    The last of these is an alternative installer for 64-bit systems you find that using the "standard" 64-bit version causes playback issues or problems with QuickTime or Outlook integration.

  • Genuine Lenovo Battery Not Attached, Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga

    I am having a message that says "Genuine Lenovo Battery Not Attached" message that appears after Windows 8.1 starts up. A similar sort of message appears before even Windows boots up, and I need to press the 'Esc' key in order for Windows to boot. This seems to have happened after a recent Windows update. I have uninstalled an reinstalled the Lenovo Power Management Driver but it does not appear to have fixed the issue. My BIOS is the latest version.
    This issue is on my Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga S1.
    Any assistance is appreciated.

    Reset simply does a circuit discharge, it doesn't wipe anything off your hdd.

  • ThinkPad Yoga Ghosting Probleme - 20CD0001GE

    Hey! Habe seit ein paar Tagen das ThinkPad Yoga und muss sagen dass mich das auftretende Ghosting wirklich stört. In diesem Post habe ich gelesen dass es möglich sei über den Lenovo Service Support ein neues Display anzufordern. Der Austausch wird in keinstem Fall ein Problem für mich darstellen. An welche Adresse muss ich mich in Deutschland wenden um ein Display anzufordern? LG Hasel

    Seems to be easy.
    Just contact your local support. They should have some official support in Kuwait I hope.
    They have sent the courier to collect the laptop from home. I had to wait about 4 weeks before the LCD replacement panel came to my country (Poland) but AFAIK it is possible to call RMA, report the problem and then wait till they get the replacement for you. The procedure should not take more than few days then. Mind to backup all your data beforehand because the official service used to reinstall Windows from scratch.

  • Thinkpad Yoga Wlan Probleme mit Wlan im Tablet mode

    hallo,
    ich habe ein riesen Problem mit meinem Thinkpad Yoga. Habe eine Crucial MX100 eingebaut und Windows 8.1 installiert. Das Problem macht bei mir das Wlan, klappe ich es in den Tabletmode bricht die Verbindung soofort ab. Hebe ich das Display leicht an, ist wieder Verbindung da. Die Signal Qualität ist aber immer Ausgezeichnet, nur kann das Thinkapd sich im Tablet modus nicht mit dem Router (FritzBox 7330SL) Verbinden.
    Jetzt das Merkwürdige, baue ich die HDD wieder ein, und boote in das Lenovo Win 8.1 System fuktioniert alles, auch das Wlan im Tabletmodus. Nur der Wlan Chip hat einen anderen Namen. Im Gerätemanager steht: Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 #2
    Auf der SSD mit der Clean Wndows 8 Version steht, das gleiche aber ohne diese #2 am Ende, ansonsten ist alles gleich, auch die Treiber Version 17.13.11.5.
    Ich würde mich echt freuen, wenn Ihr mir bei diesem Problem helfen könnt. Auf die SSD will ich nicht verzichten.
    mfg

    Ich kann mir nur vorstellen, dass das Metallgehäuse der Festplatte als Antenne oder verlängerte Antenne funktioniert. Die SSD hat mit Sicherheit ein Plastikgehäuse und entpsrechend geringer die Fläche für den Empfang. 
    Wie auch immer. Ich denke, dass die Ursache des Problems in dieser Richtung zu finden ist.

  • Thinkpad yoga sound probleme

    Hallo,
    ich bin eigentlich ein sehr zufriedener Benutzer des Thinkpad Yoga. Jedoch hab ich vermehrt Probleme mit der Sound Ausgabe die manchmal sehr verzerrt (teilweise nur sehr kurz manchmal jedoch auch so lange bis ich das Yoga neustarte).
    Kann mir da jemand helfen woran es liegen kann?
    Danke schonmal im Vorraus.
    Freundliche Grüße

    I was having sound issues (cracking and popping) as well issues with audio on WiDi until I stopped the program Discovery.exe using Task Manager.  I removed the program Lenovo EMC Storage Connector (which is what is called) using the Control Panel.  Since then no more popping and audio issues.  No promises that is your issue but it was mine.

  • Spare Stylus to Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga

    Hi Guys
    I am using my new Thinkpad Yoga and I am happy so far.
    Unfortunately I lost my pen/stylus a few days ago and of course, the tablet/ultrabook is useless or just a normal notebook without a stylus.
    However, I failed to find a spare-stylus which fits in the case. Could you direct me to a webshop or something were I can buy one?
    And, as it is related to this topic, do you know any other stylus which work with this tablet? The original one is fine but to work all day long with the normal stylus it is a bit to small / thin.
    Best regards

    Other Wacom based tablet PC styluses should work but you might have to recalibrate the digitizer though.
    You can check out the Wacom styluses that Fujitsu , Lenovo ,  and Samsung offer. Those all should work.

  • Lenovo Thinkpad 10 Camera Drivers?

    I have installed a clean install of Windows 8.1 on my Lenovo 10 Tablet, but the Camera doesnt seem to be installed or enabled?
    I have confirmed that in the Bios the Camera is enabled and that within Windows 8.1 privacy the "webcam" is set On.
    My only remaining thought is that the Camera(s) are notinstalled. But in Device manager i dont see any uninstalled/unknown devices. So i have looked on the drivers section for the model on the support site but cant see anything obvious i should be installing.
    Any suggestions. 
    Edit : Also appears the microphone is not installed possibly? I assume this might be part of the Webcam install.

    Have you installed the Intel Platform Device Drivers? See here:
    http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/tablets/thinkpad-tablet-series/thinkpad-10
    Make sure the relevant set (32bit or 64bit) is installed - they include the camera drivers

  • Thinkpad 11e Camera Problem

    Hey guys, I just got this laptop couple of days ago a I love it. I just got a problem with the camera. When ever I try recording a video with it it just freezes and the video get corrupted. But then I use it for video calling it works perfectly fine. It may be due to the windows inbuilt software that I am using to record with, but I had a look online and couldnt find dedicated software for this camera

    Dear Mrbulinn
    Welcome in Lenovo community
    Yes your are right, there is no dedicated software for the camera but you can lunch the camera by the preinstalled camera feature . Just go to search a type camera if you are using windows 8
    I do recommend if you can try another camera recording application , it might help
    Let me know
    Thanks

    What do you mean it "refuses to work using bluetooth"?
    The iPhone does not support bluetooth file transfer. The only thing you can use it for with any computer is tethering the internet connection from the phone.  You can not sync or transfer data with your computer via bluetooth. You can sync via cable or WiFi.
