Lenovo Yoga 11s startet nicht
Hallo zusammen =)
Wie im Titel schon beschrieben, startet mein kleines Lenovo Yoga 11s IdeaPad nicht mehr.
Nicht mehr bedeutet folgendes:
Wenn der An/Aus-Schalter an der unteren Seite des Gerätes gedrückt wird, passiert für 2 Sekunden nichts (die Standby-LED geht an) und nach diesen 2 Sekunden fährt der Lüfter an der oberen Seite des Gerätes hoch und weiter passiert nichts. Der Bildschirm bleibt schwarz und der Lüfter dreht solange, bis ich das Gerät wieder via Shift + An/Aus-Taste "zwangsabschalte".
Da ich bei dem kleinen IdeaPad den Akku nicht rausnehmen kann, hab ich die Liste mit USB-Geräte entfernen, Akku entfernen, SD-Karte entnehmen etc.. schon durchgeführt - ohne ein erkennbares Ergebnis.
Ich hoffe, dass man mir hier weiterhelfen kann =)
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Hügli
Hallo Hügli,
lass das Yoga einmal in diesem Zustand komplett leerlaufen bis es von selbst abschaltet. Wenn es dann auch in keiner Weise mehr auf den Einschalter reagiert, halte diesen bitte 10-15 Sekunden gedrückt.
Lade dann den Akku erstmal mindestens eine halbe Stunde und schalte das Yoga dann ganz normal wieder ein.
Wenn das auch nicht geholfen hat, bleibt nur noch der Weg, das Gerät über den Support einschicken zu lassen. Rufnummer oder Mailformular findest du hier: http://support.lenovo.com/de/de/contactus
Gruß - Sebastian

Lenovo Yoga 11s SSD and RAM Upgrade - Great Results
Picked up a Lenovo Yoga 11s from Best Buy. I chose Best Buy for price, color, and processor. They had a slightly better deal than Lenovo.com. The clementine color looks great. Quality is great. I'm very happy with the purchase. It has the i5 processor, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD.
I upgraded the SSD and RAM and found the upgrade relatively easy. Here is a basic step by step and results. (note the parts I chose increased the cost by close to $400. I chose these parts based on quality, performance, and power usage. There are cheaper alternatives, but I wanted an upgrade and money was not my concern.)
Upgraded Parts
RAM - Patriot Memory 8GB PC3-12800 1600MHZ CL11 1.35V - Purchased at Newegg, but could have saved a couple dollars on Amazon.
I chose this part based on previous experience with Patriot and the low voltage RAM. A lot of the RAM is higher voltage and I wanted to make sure I reduced heat and power usage. When you look for 1.35V RAM, there are not a lot of options...
MSata SSD Drive - Intel SSD 525 Series 240GB Drive
Intel SSD Page
I purchased through Newegg
I chose the Intel drive based on previous experience with Intel. They cost more, but I've found their performance to be good and reliability good. There is also a good review on this drive on Tomshardware Tomshardware Intel 525 Review. Toms review shows top performing drive and low power. I also looked at many other manufacturers and Intel had the lower power consumption. This means less heat and longer battery life.
Cloning Software
Intel provides a free cloning software from Acronis
My Digital SSD MSata external case
I purchased through Newegg.
Nice quality device. I used this to help in cloning the OEM SSD to the new Intel drive.
T5 Torx Screw Driver
I purchased this from Home Depot T5 Torx Home Depot
I read all the reviews, posts and issues around cloning the Win8 SSD drives. Many people have/had issues. I was prepared for problems. Another reason I chose Intel, as they have migration software that I felt would be top notch.
You need to have the Hardware Manual handy. I read how to remove keyboard and top cover. This is required to upgrade RAM and SSD. It was very easy. Take your time. Note, this is very different than the Yoga 13 youtube video for part removal. I think it's easier. Here is the link to download manual Yoga 11s Hardware Manual.
How to clone your SSD
I expect if you're doing this project you can learn how to use the Intel software for cloning. Read the web, watch their youtube video. Read the manual...
Remove your factory SSD and insert new Intel SSD (note, you must insert Intel drive in notebook for cloning. Do not try and clone on the USB external drive. Intel software will not detect drive properly). Create a bootable version of the Intel software on a USB drive. Install your factory OEM SSD in the external MSata SSD drive. Go to BIOS and set boot to support legacy, no fast boot, boot to USB.
Boot to the Intel Acronis app on the USB drive. Then connect your OEM SSD via second USB port.
Then follow the wizard on Intel's software. Cloning process took less than 5 minutes.
Unplug your USB devices, go to BIOS and set all all your boot settings back to factory UEFI, fast boot etc.
The PC booted to windows second try. The first time it said it has issues and went through a process to repair. It then said it failed. I rebooted again and it went straight to windows. Did all my windows updates and everything is fine.
Performance
Windows Performance Improvement
Memory - Factory score was 5.9 - Patriot Memory is 8.2 *** Nice Improvement
Hard Drive - Factory score was 6.2 - Intel 525 Drive is 8.2 *** Nice Improvement
This pc is crazy fast booting and shutting down. It boots in 7 seconds. Not sure it's really faster than OEM, but I've never seen a pc boot this fast.
Over all performance is fast. I installed Office 2010 pro from a USB drive in under 5 minutes. Web browsing is crazy fast. I'm super impressed with the speed of this pc. Much faster than I expected.
Size, Shape, Weight, color is great. Performance is great. Happy with upgrades and quality of parts. May be my best notebook purchase to date. I don't have any battery life numbers to report yet. Everything is new and I haven't really spent much time off the charger.
Issues I've experienced during this upgrade of parts
I first tried to clone the SSD drive by putting the Intel drive in the USB enclosure first. The intel software would not work as the PC detects the external SSD drive as a SCSI drive and Intel cloning software could not identify the drive as an Intel Sata drive. I called Intel and they had no advice or help. I also tried a few other cloning softwares that ultimately did not work. As a last resort I switched the drives and everything worked great. Lesson learned, swap the drives first and use Intel software to clone.
Factory restore - doesn't work. Not sure why the factory restore is not working on my new Intel drive. Windows works great! All the partitions are there. I suspect I messed up the OEM restore portion of the drive. At one point I thought I had booted to the Intel drive, and tried the restore (I had about 7 failed cloning tries before the final one worked as I outlined above). It went through the restore process and then failed. However, what I later found was that I had actually booted to the OEM drive in the external USB case and I may have corrupted the restore functionality.
I contacted Lenovo Support and explained I could not restore using the 1 key restore. They walked me through some basic troubleshooting and then opted to mail me factory restore disk. I have the disk and will keep them available for when/if I ever need to restore.
Solved!
Go to Solution.I upgraded from the Yoga 13 to the 11S and am happy to report that the machines are so identical that apparently you can just yank the SSD from one and drop it in the other. I had upgraded my 13" to 240gB SSD + 8gB RAM and simply plopped the two components into the 11S and after about 30 seconds of Windows alerting me that it was 'setting up devices' the machine booted normally and has been working perfectly since!

Can't Upgrade Lenovo Yoga 11s mSATA SSD
I recently purchased a refurbished Lenovo Yoga 11s from Tiger Direct along with an 8 GB RAM upgrade and a 480 GB Crucial mSATA SSD. The RAM replacement was easy. However, I have tried for three weeks to clone, reinstall, or recover my OS installation to the new SSD, and everything has failed. I’ve done extensive research on this forum and others but can’t find a solution.
The 11s came with Windows 8 on a 128 GB mSATA SSD. I updated it to 8.1 and installed a bunch of my own apps before attempting the clone. The 480 GB Crucial SSD definitely works. I have an external USB enclosure and when it’s inserted it reads just fine on multiple machines. I disabled Fast Boot and Secure Boot and have experimented with both Legacy and UEFI boot modes.
Here’s what I’ve tried:
1. Cloning via Easeus Todo Backup directly through Windows 8. The clone appeared to be successful but the new drive wouldn’t boot. I tried boot repair using both a Lenovo and a standard Windows Recovery USB that I made before beginning all of this. In each case Startup Repair says it can’t find the required partition. Also, the BIOS doesn’t recognize the new SSD when I have a Recovery USB inserted.
2. Cloning by booting directly to a Clonezilla Live USB. Again, the clone appeared successful but after swapping the SSDs the new one wouldn’t boot, and both Recovery USBs wouldn’t work.
3. Cloning AGAIN by booting directly to Clonezilla Live USB, this time with the new SSD attached to the mobo and the original in the USB enclosure. In this attempt, Clonezilla only recognized the 128 GB SSD and didn’t recognize the 480 attached to the mobo. (Although I don't think I'd partitioned the new SSD in this attempt, so maybe that would change things?)
4. Cloning via Paragon’s “Migrate OS”. I had high hopes for this because others have reported good results. Again, the clone appears successful but after swapping it won’t boot. And I did check the “create UEFI boot” option on Paragon.
5. In desperation, I “borrowed” a copy of Windows 8 on a USB to see if I could do a fresh installation, since apparently you can’t just easily reinstall Win8 on an OEM machine. I’m at the point where I’d pay for a Win8 license just to have my own copy and avoid this OEM nonsense—but I want to be sure it would work on this SSD first. However, the copy I was using won’t install because it doesn’t recognize the new SSD. If I put the BIOS into Legacy Boot mode, it will recognize the Win8 USB but not the new mSATA drive. If I put it into UEFI it recognizes the mSATA drive but won’t recognize the USB.
I’m at my wit’s end here. Clearly other people have successfully upgraded their 11s machines (like this guy: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Idea-Windows-based-Tablets-and/Lenovo-Yoga-11s-SSD-and-RAM-Upgrade-Great-Results/td-p/1195545) Maybe the 11s motherboard won’t accept a 480 GB SSD? Or maybe it’s just strangely incompatible with this particular model? (This is what I’m using: http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?imodule=CT480M500SSD3) Is there something else painfully obvious I’m missing?
Please help! I love this little machine but if I can’t get the SSD upgraded it’s going to find another home.

Moderator note: Crucial link fixed.That's EXACTLY what it is. I originally bought an ivy bridge 11s and I went ahead and tried the new drive in it and it worked just fine. I have also been posting in another forum...here's my last post: I think I figured it out... I have another Yoga 11s here beside me, the Ivy Bridge version; the bios in that machine sees the ssd just fine. The difference is the bios versions. The one that won't see it is 8FCN19WW(V1.00)-the haswell 11s. The one that WILL see it is 77CN19WW(V1.05). So now I'm trying to fig out how to get that V1.00 bios updated to V1.05. That's the only thing I can think of to do. Keep you posted... So, I guess I have to choose between the haswell processor or larger ssd. I can always just switch the gray covers for the orange cause I'm liking the orange WAY better. TBH, I'm not really seeing a big diff between the ivy bridge and haswell anyway... I only got about 4.5 hrs battery life, which is what I got with the IB. There was also supposed to be a better wireless card but the reception and speed is the same as well. I may just end up keeping the Ivy Bridge because of the better bios. There is absolutely no way to update the bios in either of these machines so we're basically just stuck with what we get. If you DO like the 11s as much as I do, you can always find an Ivy Bridge model and is should work just fine for you. The Micro Center here in town is selling IB refurbs for $499. Probably the same price online. Write more later...

Cannot install Windows 8.1 Update on Lenovo Yoga 11s
Hi guys,
Hope someone will be able to help me out from this never ending issue.
I have been trying to update my Yoga 11s to Windows 8.1 for the last 2 weeks, but it just doesn't work. It kees failing when it gets to "Applying Settings" and then reboots twice and eventually rolls back to the Windows 8 installed. I have tried everything I've read on the internet from disabling my BT to installing all the latest drivers to even installing from a clean boot of Windows 8, but NOTHING works.
Has anyone successfully made this upgrade? Any assisstance will be highly appreciated.
BTW my laptop is installed with Windows 8 Single Language and running BIOS version 77CN20WW (v1.06)
ThanksThank you for your input. I must say that I did have 8.1 installed and used it for about a month with no issues. Then recently when I was installing an update for graphics I got the black screen as described. I have since then not been able to install 8.1. I will continue to look for a solution. Thanks for your reply

Lenovo Yoga 11S won't stay asleep
I've recently purchased the 11S with the 4th gen Haswell CPU and I'm having trouble with putting it to sleep.
I've noticed that the laptop wakes up almost immediately after it goes to sleep whether I close the lid or explicitly select sleep in the shutdown options. This is after I updated to Windows 8.1, however I'm fairly sure this was also a problem before the update as well.
The only way it will properly sleep is if it is plugged in and charging.
I've tried:
Updating Graphics Drivers
Updating Intel DTPF Drivers
Installing Lenovo Energy Management program
I think this has to do with presentation mode because after searching around I found someone else who had the same behavior, but this was deemed to be a feature that's part of presentation mode. I would guess that it's stuck in presentation mode, however installing the Lenovo Transition program doesn't do anything. Also, I have no YMC.exe running which was said to be the Yoga Mode Controller.Start Windows Event Viewer, go to Windows Logs, export the System logs as shown in the screenshot below.
Export it to *.txt or *.xml and upload it here for me to read. It might reveal the problem causing the Y11S to wake up.

Hola buenas, tengo un lenovo yoga 11s, necesito entrar en la bios, he mirado por internet y para entrar hay que darle a un boton con una flechita, estoy mirando y no le veo por ninguna parte. al ancender me dice pulse SPACE to enter EBL y pulsa R to enter recovery mode, al pulsar R no hace nada y al darle a space sale como una ventana de simbolo de sistema, que ago para entrar a la bios?? saludos.
Entiendo, me parece que tu modelo es una Yoga11 , este no tiene el botón Novo, por eso te hacia la pregunta si puedes acceder a Windows para poder restablecer las configuraciones a través del Menú ofrecido por Windows.
No estoy seguro de que edición de Windows tenias pero para tu caso puede crear un disco de reparación de Windows en una unidad USB esto lo haces desde otro ordenador con Windows 8, si no resulta esto solicitar los medios de restauración al centro de llamadas Lenovo, numero del contacto en mi firma.
Un saludo.

Hello there.
I have an IdeaPad Yoga 11S, and the OEM 128GB SSD is running out of space.
I believe the OEM SSD is a 1.8-inch drive. So if I were to get a larger SSD, would it have to be 1.8" as well, or could I use a 2.5" drive instead?
I already have a 2.5" 500 GB hybrid drive that might work well, or I might just go buy a new SSD...but the 2.5" drives are cheaper and more widely available than the 1.8" drives.This seems like a helpful place to begin:

Hallo Leute,
ich unterscheibe PDFs gerne mit Adobe Reader und der Signieren-Funkion.
Neuerdings habe ich ein Lenovo Yoga Notebook (inkl. Touchscreen und Stift).
Wenn ich jedoch auf Signieren kliche und die Unterschrit eingeben will, erkennt die Software zwar den ersten Punkt, wo der Stift angesetzt worden ist, und zeichnet diesen, setzt dann aber kurz aus. Nach einem kurzen Aussetzer wird das Signal (die Linie) dann wieder gezeichnet.
Bei einem Konkurrenzprodukt klappt es.
Was kann ich tun?

Lenovo Yoga 2 13, Kali Linux 1.0.7, Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 8.1 install, config, and wifi fix.
Lenovo Yoga 2 13, Kali Linux 1.0.7, Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 8.1 install, config, and wifi fix.
I wanted to share an experience with everyone I hope will help others avoid what I have gone through the past 3 days. I bought a Yoga 11s that I loved but had some issues with the wireless, Lenovo being awesome replaced it with a Yoga 2 13. I love this laptop but ran into some issues with Linux install/wireless, which I wanted to show how to resolve in one place. Hopefully this will help someone else get through this quicker
I am going to try and write this for someone with little Linux experience, if I miss the mark please let me know and I will clarify the best I can.
For work I need Windows 8.1 and Kali Linux, while for home I prefer Ubuntu.
My Yoga 2 13:
I5 1.6 ghz
8 GB ram
256 GB SSD
ORANGE!
My requirements:
I need Windows
I need Kali Linux (livecd, even with persistent mode was not an option as it would not save the wireless fix or system updates) – I would also like this on a USB drive and not the internal SSD
I would like Ubuntu
Needed to do this:
1. 2 USB thumb drives (at least 8gb in size each) I used 2 Leef Supra 32GB drives. They are my favorite right now and are only about $27 at amazon.
2. Phone that can USB Tether or a USB Ethernet card (External USB wireless will show as "Hardware Locked"). Again you can pick one up for sub $10 if you need the USB Ethernet route. I used my Galaxy S5, you will need to download 200-300 mb of items through this so make sure you have the data if you go that route.
3. You may be able to get a USB wifi card to work if you do the following after boot. This only worked once for me.
a.Type ‘sudo rmmod iwlmvm’
b.Type ‘sudo rmmod iwlwifi’
4. ISOs of Ubuntu and Kali Linux (I used Ubuntu 14.04 and Kali Linux 1.0.7)
5. Software to unzip the ISOs. I recommend 7-ZIP and will be referencing this in this guide.
6. I will include the EFI boot files and the WiFi fix files if I can attach. Otherwise I will provide a link to them.
Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
Recommended (these are just in case you corrupt something making your system not see any OS
1. I would call Lenovo beforehand and get a set of recover disks (this will take 2-3 days)
2. In the meantime a USB Windows 8.1 or 8 ISO (the repair feature may save you)
*Note: At many points in this guide I detail steps and commands. Please double check that you understand the step before proceeding. There are multiple points where a mistyped command or clicking the wrong option will cause your entire system to fail and you will need to reformat the entire drive and start over. This also will make One Touch recovery not work. Proceed with caution.*
I did not need to disable ‘secure boot’ to do this, but keep in mind that you may need to.
Steps:
First let’s go through the installs, and then we will go through grub config and wireless fix
1. In Windows scroll to computer and right click, select manage.
2. Go to “Disk Management”
3. Select the main HDD (notice Lenovo puts a stupid number of partitions on here)
a. I deleted the D: drive on here, if you do this make sure to copy the drives over to your main C: drive. You will want to run each of the installers and repair the drivers after.
4. I used the space from the D: drive and pulled a little more creating a 50 GB partition for Ubuntu and my swap file
a. You can also add more space by right clicking your C drive and selecting shrink
b. Do not format the partitioned data as this will make identifying it later much easier.
5. Open a command line
a. Swipe from the right of the screen and select search
b. Type ‘cmd’
c. right click and select ‘run as admin’
6. For Ubuntu: Type ‘diskpart’ into the command line
a. type ‘list disk’
i. You should see 2-3 disks depending on if you have one or both usb drives in the laptop at the time. I would suggest only doing 1 at a time so you don’t lose track.
b. type ‘select disk $’ (Replace the $ with the number of the drive)
c. ***** Before proceeding make sure you have the correct drive selected or you can ruin your Windows install and Lenovo one touch recovery will not fix it since we have changed the partitions *****
d. type ‘clean’
e. type ‘create partition primary’
f. type ‘active’
g. type ‘format fs=fat32 quick’
h. type ‘assign’
i. type ‘exit’
6. For Kali Linux: Type ‘diskpart’ into the command line
a. type ‘list disk’
i. You should see 2-3 disks depending on if you have one or both usb drives in the laptop at the time. I would suggest only doing 1 at a time so you don’t lose track.
b. type ‘select disk $’ (Replace the $ with the number of the drive)
c. ***** Before proceeding make sure you have the correct drive selected or you can ruin your Windows install and Lenovo one touch recovery will not fix it since we have changed the partitions *****
d. type ‘clean’
e. type ‘create partition primary size= 3272
f. type ‘active’
g. type ‘format fs=fat32 quick’
h. type ‘assign’
i. type ‘exit’
j. By doing this we can maintain a portion of this drive as the install CD and still have linux install/ liveCD if we need to run it on another machine.
7. At this point the drive is ready to have the contents of the ISO copied over.
8. Right click the ISO and select 7-zip then ‘zip to /’ This should unzip the ISO to the location of the ISO into a folder named exactly the same as the ISO.
9. Once this is done for Ubuntu ISO it is done
10. Kali requires a little bit more to be ready
a. Kali will need some files added for EFI boot. --$--
i. Thanks to: https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?271-How-to-EFI-install-Kali-Linux
ii. EFI files are located within the wifi fix folder https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
11. Now let’s start with Ubuntu
Ubuntu install
1. Place USB drive into the laptop and press the “Lenovo boot” button next to the power button
2. Select ‘Boot Menu’
3. Select ‘EFI USB Device (Name of drive)’ Mine stated Leef Supra
4. Select ‘install Ubuntu’
5. Go through the Ubuntu install until you get to select the install drive
6. Once you get to the install portion it will ask you to select from one of 4 options. Select ‘Manually select partition’
7. Select the “Free Space” where we opened up some of the drive
8. You will need to create 2 partitions, I usually create the swap partition at the end of the drive
a. First I create the swap
i. Set at the end of the drive
ii. Set size to 1024 mb
iii. Set type to ‘swap’
b. Second create the ext 4 partition
i. Set to beginning of drive
ii. Set to remainder of the space
iii. Set type to ext4
iv. Set mount point to /
9. Finish the install and boot into Ubuntu
10. You will notice that your wireless is ‘disabled by hardware’ This is fine for the time being and we will worry about this after the kali install. If we fix it now for some reason after installing kali we get the error again and would just need to fix it again.
Kali Linux install
1. Place USB drive into the laptop and press the “Lenovo boot” button next to the power button
2. Select ‘Boot Menu’
3. Select ‘EFI USB Device (Name of drive)’ Mine stated Leef Supra
4. From the grub menu select ‘install kali linux’ both graphical and text work. I much prefer text install
5. You will get a few errors through the install but that is fine
6. The first we see is about network hardware and ‘load missing firmware from removable media?’ – Select ‘no’
7. Then select no ethernet card
8. It will have you name your machine then it will ask you for the root password
a. If you want to just use root *not recommended* place the password here
b. If you wish to use a non-root account then leave these blank and it will ask you for a name, username, and password of the new machine *Very Recommended* - this will also add this user to the sudoers file
9. It will then ask you to ‘partition disks’
10. Select manual
11. Now here is where it can get a little confusing so read twice click once
12. Select the USB drive from this list
13. Mine shows up under (sdb) – Leef Supra
a. It could be sdc, sdd, sde, etc… depending on how many drives you have plugged in.
14. You should see one primary drive that is 3gb or so that is formatted as FAT32. – DO NOT TOUCH THIS PARTITION!
15. You should see the remainder of this drive as ‘FREE SPACE’ select that
16. Create a partition at the end at size 1024mb and swap
17. Then create another one for the remainder of the drive and set it to ext4 with mountpoint of /
18. Continue through the install after you should see an error warning you that ‘you may not be able to boot’ that is fine, select continue
19. Then select from the menu of all the options ‘continue without bootloader’
20. It should finish up then reboot on its own.First setup/boot/fix grub
1. You should be able to boot up into GRUB2 menu now.
2. You may not see kali linux in this menu (make sure you have your towel and don’t panic!)
3. Boot into Ubuntu
4. Once you log in you should see that you still cannot use wireless due to being locked by hardware
5. This is expected
6. Let’s fix grub then we will come back to fixing wireless
7. Plug in your device to connect to the internet (USB Tethering or USB Ethernet)
8. Once you verify that you now have an internet connection run the following from terminal
a. ‘sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer’
b. ‘sudo apt-get update’
c. ‘sudo apt-get install grub-customizer’
9. You can also edit the grub.cfg manually if you know what you are doing… I did not
10. Open grub customizer
11. It should auto populate and you should see ‘debian (kali linux)’ somewhere in the list
12. It should be mounted to /dev/sdb2 or /dev/sdc2 depending on how many devices you have
13. At this point go ahead and save
14. Reboot and test that you can get into each OS
15. This is where my inexperience got me. I spent 2 of my days so I am including this error: If when you boot into Kali you get an error somewhere that says ‘/bin/sh: can’t access tty: job control turned off’ look above it for an error that looks similar to ‘ALERT! /dev/sdc2 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!!’
a. That error is due to the mount point being incorrect in grub, reboot and from within grub highlight the kali boot. Press ‘e’ then towards the bottom you should see ‘root=/dev/sdc2’ change this to ‘root=/dev/sdb2’ again the number doesn’t matter just make sure it stays the same.
b. Press F10
c. If this boots fine then you will need to go back and fix the grub.cfg or load into Ubuntu and open grub customizer again, it should fix this
16. Now you have 3 working OS on the machine with one being on a USB! Congrats!
17. You can remove the USB with no worry of screwing up your install, but you will not be able to boot into Kali Linux until you replace it. I would suggest only removing it and replacing it while the machine is powered off, but that’s just me.
Fix Wireless
Now is the time to do what probably ¾ of you came here for. FIX THE DANG WIRELESS. This is a huge problem from Lenovo’s side that I hope they realize how important Linux is and will fix. I won’t hold my breath though.
Log into Ubuntu : This is well documented in the following forum post on page 3 by user Haohe:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2215044&page=3
His has you download quite a large file, mine should be much smaller.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
1. Download the attached package with the fix.
2. Connect your USB internet device (tether or ethernet)
3. Place the packages somewhere easy to access, in this example I will place them under ~/Desktop/WiFiFix
4. Type ‘cd ~/Desktop/WiFiFix/’
5. Now we need to prep the tools we need.
6. Type ‘sudo apt-get update’ – we did this before, but you know, just in case
7. Type ‘sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname –r`’ Note around uname-r they are the ` symbol not the ‘ this is located just above the tab on the same key as ~.
8. Type ‘make’
9. Type ‘sudo cp /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.ko ~/ideapad-laptop.ko.backup’
10. Type ‘sudo cp ~/Desktop/WiFiFix/ideapad-laptop.ko /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/’
11. Type ‘sudo modprobe -r ideapad-laptop’
12. Type ‘sudo modprobe ideapad-laptop’
13. Type ‘sudo rfkill unblock all’
14. Type ‘sudo modprobe -r ideapad-laptop’
15. Type ‘sudo mv ~/ideapad-laptop.ko.backup /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.ko’
16. Next we need to blacklist the ideapad module
17. Type ‘sudo echo 'blacklist ideapad-laptop' > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
a. The first time I tried this it wouldn’t work. So I did the following
b. ‘sudo touch /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
c. ‘sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
d. Enter blacklist ideapad-laptop
e. Exit and save
18. Reboot your Yoga 2 13
19. Boot into kali and see if you have wireless, if you do then you are done. If not we will need to repeat this process with one small little change.
Kali Wifi Fix
1. Copy the sources.list from the package provided
2. Replace /etc/apt/sources.list with the included
3. Some of the file path changes but the process remains the same from here.
Congratulations you now have 3 OSes one portable to other machines and working wifi!
Thank you

Yoga 11s - how to boot from USB in UEFI mode (tried everything)
I have been trying for days to install Windows 7 on my new Yoga 11s in dual boot configuration with 8.1, with no luck. Typical catch-22 problem -- can't boot from the install media in UEFI mode, and if booted in legacy mode, Windows won't install on GPT partition. I followed all the steps everywhere mentioned: disabled secure boot, set boot mode and order in every possible combination, etc. I followed these steps exactly to create a UEFI-bootable USB drive:http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-8-and-8-1-Knowledge-Base/Why-can-t-I-boot-from-a-USB-key-on-UEFI-ThinkPad-or-ThinkCentre/ta-p/1004621 I can boot easily from the USB in legacy mode, but in UEFI mode, when starting the machine, the USB is ignored. If I go into Windows 8.1 recovery and do an advanced start and choose EFI USB, the machine thinks for a moment and then says: "System doesn't have any USB boot option. Please select other boot option in Boot Manager Menu." Then I click OK and it offers only one option on the menu, Windows Boot Manager. I don't know if the lack of boot options is just a symptom of the USB not really being UEFI-bootable, or some other steps are needed to add boot options. I even tried adding an item within the windows boot manager, but that didn't work, because even if it could work in principle I don't know the right settings. Has anyone actually made this work? If so, what is the secret?
I had the same problem and a lot of frustration. I finally solved the problem by using a different USB key. I also had to go into boot options and select the USB key even though I had the USB key first in the boot order. Right now I am Re-imaging from my backup and pray for success. Although things may look brigth afterall I have to leave out some steam:The whole problem started with a screen error, which had to be repaired. So before sending it to repair I made an image backup, - just in case. I got an eight hour time window where I had to wait for a pickup of the computer,- very frustrating when you are having a job requiring traveling. After ten days the computer computer came back with a scrambled hard disk with at note saying that it was an software error, although it was no doubt an hardware error because it worked perfectly with an external monitor. I have not counted the number of hours this bad service has costs but it exceeds the value of the computer!

Trying to create dual boot with Windows 7 on Yoga 11s
I was trying to install Windows 2008 server (I said Windows 7 in the title because it's essentially the same) on a Yoga 11s in dual boot configuration with the factory-installed Windows 8 upgraded to 8.1, and as expected it's a pain in the butt.
I ran into the catch-22 that you can only boot from a USB external optical drive in legacy mode, and then Windows refuses to install on a GPT-type partition. Dead end there.
As plan B, I tried installing from my MSDN DVD from within Windows 8.1. It chugged along for a while, but then hung after the second restart. It reached a state where the machine is dual boot, and goes into Windows 8.1 OK, but 2008 server hangs on startup even in safe mode. Probably it's a driver problem. I downloaded all Windows 7 drivers for the Yoga 11s from the Lenovo website, and they would work fine for 2008 server if there was a way to put them in place.
I have been through the process twice before on previous machines. After getting the server OS to install, none of the devices work well or at all, but I could patiently install the drivers using device manager. This is the first time where I can't get the server OS to install to a bootable condition. Is it hopless, or might there be documentation somewhere about how I could manually place drivers in the right folders to enable the OS to start?
Plan C might be to follow Lenovo's instructions to create a UEFI bootable USB flash drive and try to install from that. Would that work better than installing from within Windows 8.1, or just reach the same roadblock?Reformat that new drive with SL DVD.
Go into SL DVD again, go to Utility Menu and choose DU.
Then try repairing the drive or better yet, just erase the drive (not the volume) and try again.
There are enough changes between Tiger partition scheme and SL that you would want to. RAID arrays built with Leopard will not allow installing SL, they have to be recreated (and can then have Leopard and SL).
