Thinkpad Yoga Charging Indicator

Hello,
where can I find the charging indicator on the Thinkpad Yoga? When I'm charging the machine (turned off) I don't see any light or other charging indicator. Is this normal?
Thanks
Regards
Rango

Hi Rango,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to inform you that Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga doesn’t have a dedicated indicator for charging status.
The illuminated dots in the ThinkPad logo on the outer lid of your computer and on the palm rest show the system status of your computer:
• Blinks for three times: The computer is initially connected to the power.
• On: The computer is on (in normal mode).
• Off: The computer is off or in hibernation mode.
• Blinks fast: The computer is entering sleep or hibernation mode.
• Blinks slowly: The computer is in sleep mode.
Hope this clarified your query!
Best regards,
Mithun.

ThinkPad Yoga 15 won't charge while closed/in sleep mode

Hello, i recently purchased a thinkpad yoga 15 laptop with i7, 8gb ram, geforce gpu, 256gb SSD, Windows 8.1 Pro. My question is: how can I make it charge while in sleep mode? also, downloads stop in sleep mode (ie Steam) This is very inconvenient as the laptop will apparently only charge while totally on and open. Naturally, I don't want to leave my laptop on and open to anyone's use in my room, I want to keep it locked via sleep mode. I want it to be charged when I get back. To sum up, I want to a) charge laptop while it's in sleep mode, and b) don't stop downloads while in sleep mode. Thank you this is my first post on lenovo forums :]

It is not jailbroken or anything at all, just a normal iPhone 4

Issues with Thinkpad yoga on Windows 7 64-bit

I uninstalled the windows 8.1 that came with my Thinkpad Yoga to installe windows 7 64-bit because there was no support for Power Manager ( a tool that allows you to charge your battery only upto a certain percentage (eg 40%) which helps reduce battery aging when the notebook is mostly operated on AC power).
Doing that required me to fully clean the Hard-disk during the installation process.
I installed almost all of the drivers available on http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-yoga-series-laptops/thinkpad-...
for thinkpad yoga and windows 7 64 bit.
Happily, this provided me the Power manager, and I can use it just as I wanted.
However, all these has brought in additional issues which are listed below:
1. The touch pad right click doesn't work. Only two finger tap works as right click.
2. The touch pad gestures for zoom and scroll doesn't work at all.
3. The screen auto-rotate doesn't work.
4. The touch screen gesture for zoom doesn't work.
I did install the ultra-nav and screen-rotate drivers, but I get error messages regarding synaptics ... not working and also sensor driver not working during the windows startup.
Any help please?
Thank you.

Just when I was happy that major issues have been resolved by constant updating, I am now experiencing this frightening problem. Mostly during startup, and lately in the middle of working, the screen freezes, shows very damaged image (like TV noise), produces the most unpleasant sound through the speakers and nothing works. I need to restart and hope that it will be ok. Sometimes it requires 2 or 3 restarts, going to safe-mode and returning back to get the issue resolved.
This has happened three or 4 times within 24 hrs. I searched in the forum and for another model it was suggested that epresscache might be the cause. I disabled the service, but the problem reappeared even then.
Any help please:
This is what appears on the screen when the computer freezes and produces loud unpleasant noise sound.

Thinkpad Yoga and UP710E stylus, how do you make them work together?

So my work just got me a Thinkpad Yoga as per my request
I have confirmed that in the Device Manager I do see: "HID-compliant touch screen"
I have also gone out on my own and purchased the UP710E wacom stylus, as suggested at various points on this board and on other sites, as something that should work with the Yoga
I've also purchased Manga Studios as an art program that is supported on this device (it seems to run fine) and with the pen.
I turned on Manga Studios (and MSPaint for good measure), pressed pen to screen and... nothing. Eraser to screen.. nothing. Mouse? Works fine. Stylus that everything and everyone indicated should work? Nope.
So.... what am I missing? Is there a driver I should be looking at? Everything should be up to date.. some in-between program I need to install? Try this when the wind is blowing south by southwest?
Help please?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks.
Here's how the support site describes your MTM:
i5-4300U(2.9GHz), 4GB RAM, 500GB 5400rpm HD, 12.5in 1366x768 LCD, Intel HD Graphics,
Wireless Option, Bluetooth, UltraNav, Secure Chip, 8c Li-Poly, Win8.1 Pro 64
I'll defer to others who might know definitively, but it's my understanding that the 1366x768 LCDs are not Wacom digitizer-equipped, whereas the FHD panels are. That would be one possibility for what you're seeing.
Regards.

Thinkpad Yoga: Lenovo Power Plans

Hello i upgraded my Yoga to Windows 8.1. Enterprise but no i lost my lenovo energy plans. Can you tell me how to get them like energysaver again?
Can anyone export them like here http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-import-and-export-power-plans-schemes-in-windows-7/ for me please?
Regards Zack

Then, about controlling at which level does the battery start charging and at which level it stops, I have found that the Power Managment software extention is not compatible with the Thinkpad Yoga... Which is a pity to my mind. The Lenovo staff justify it by saying that it is not harmful to let the battery fully charged and plugged until it is the case during years non stop.
But I would like to tell here that since we see on several websites that a battery has a better lifetime if charged at 80-90% rather than 100%, if the software engineers could make the software compatible without too much effort, that would be great.
I have also discussed with other people about the F1-F12 keys configuration in the BIOS, and we agree in general that it's very frustrating to see some useful possibilities disabled on newest computers, especially knowing that it is supposed to be professional machines...
I hope then that the Lenovo staff is opened to customers' wishes and works to make the best of Lenovo's computers experience.
All the best.

Thinkpad yoga battery life

Hello I recently bout a thinkpad yoga all the way from america, so it came with an american charger, to which I luckily had a converter. It works, but it takes FOR EVER to charge compared to how long it takes to run out of charge.. this is without a doubt going to be a problem, is there any chance that the converter may be slow? or is it possible that buying a european version of the charger might help if they exist? much thanks, please help me Im clueless... thanks

I have not seen a laptop made in the last 10 years, maybe much more, that can't run off any of the major power formats (110 to 240V 50 to 60hz) in the world and they should be able to do so with no loss of charging capacity. This is certainly true of my thinkpad. There is no converter required, only a plug adapter which simply conects metal pins of different shapes together. If you are just using a plug adapter, as you should be, then the voltage difference is not your problem.

Thinkpad Yoga BIOS Update Problem after installing Windows 10

Hi all, I've been reading tonnes of threads here trying to solve my problems (which seem to keep getting worse) to no avail. I'm reaching out to anyone that can suggest some help before I end up bricking my yoga by accident or running it over on purpose. I'll give you a timeline of the events. The machine in question is a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 12.5" 20CD-0032USIntel Core i5 4200U 1.60GHz Processor4GB Ram128GB SSDWindows 8.1 64 Bit preloaded (recently upgraded to Windows 10) So the saga begun just a short two days ago. I had some spare time at home and decided to download and install my free upgrade to Windows 10. I backed up all of my important documents etc to OneDrive as I intended on performing a clean install. Said clean install went flawlessly with Windows 10 installing the first time with no issues or errors. Since I had performed a clean install, all my previous apps, including the stock Lenovo apps, had been deleted. I had anticipated this and only really desired to reinstall the app that automatically adjusts the screen orientation when folding the cover back. So in an effort to find this app and any Windows 10 related updates that may be available I went to support.lenovo.com and used the handy Lenovo Bridge app to automatically detect my hardware and suggest relevant updates. While combing through the suggested software I noticed a BIOS update that noted added support for Windows 10. How great, I thought, that Lenovo would have a BIOS update ready so quickly once 10 became ready for mass consumption. I went ahead and downloaded the exe version (not the bootable CD due to the lack of CD drive on the Yoga) and ran the BIOS update. As I ran the update the laptop was plugged in, and no errors were presented, a success message appeared and indicated a reboot was necessary, after a couple seconds the system rebooted itself. Enter nightmare level 1. As soon as the system rebooted, I fired up IE about to look for more updates and......BSOD stating that there was and issue with a driver, after another reboot BSOD again with a completely different file name stating driver file missing or corrupt. Sorry I didn't write any of the file names or errors down. At this point I'm thinking that something is not jiving here between the BIOS and OS. So I tried running repair, and recovery and each time I would end up with a BSOD of some design. It was at this point I made a USB with the Windows 10 x64 ISO from Microsoft in an attempt to run the repair utilities from the USB. Again to no avail. Enter nightmare level 2 After attempting multiple tries at recovering Windows 10 and getting multiple BSOD's through the process I decided to use my Windows 10 USB to simply reformat my hard drive to eliminate any traces of my now apparently corrupt OS and do a fresh install of Windows 10. This appears to have been a significant error on my part. Now I have no OS (BIOS is still intact so at least I think I have a not-bricked motherboard) and everytime I try to boot Windows 10, or 8.1 for that matter, from a brand new USB stick I get constant BSOD's.Sometimes I get as far as the Preparing installation files 22% but am interrupted by a BSOD error at some point. So I am pleading for some help here. To me it seems like the BIOS update was the issue. I was not smart enough to have checked the BIOS version before updating so that I would know what to roll back to safely. What would you all recommend for a rollback and how do I go about doing one with no OS on the machine. I know I'm asking for a tl;dr here but appreciate any advice offered. I really dont want to get to nightmare level 3, which I guess would be a bricked laptop and a bill for a new motherboard or laptop. The BIOS I currently have is GQET45WW (1.25) -Garrett

Thanks for the reply ColonelONeill, It turns out that Lenovo uses an obscure PERL disk image called "eltorito". As such the directions in the link you provided did not work as most common tools (WinZip, 7zip, and WinRAR) cannot extract the image file from an eltorito iso file. I instead just bucked up for a $50.00 Asus USB CD drive and burned the iso for version 1.25 and 1.24 onto discs. I then disabled the setting in the BIOS that prevents rolling back to a previous version and flashed to 1.24 from the disc. While this appeared to go successfully, as soon as I tried to boot from my Windows 8.1 CD I start receiving BSOD's again during installation. I then used the CD with 1.25 to go back to where I was in case it was simply a bad BIOS update at the time. Most of the BSOD's are driver related (qlfcoei.sys) which I don't understand since there is no OS other than what is on the bootable CD (or USB I've tried both) Is there anyone with a stable install of Win 8.1 x64 or 10 x64 running on a 20CD0032US that can tell me what version of BIOS they are running? My next step is to go back to a version that someone else can verify is working. Thanks again for any help.

Thinkpad Yoga won't power up anymore

I was using my Thinkpad Yoga today (Quicken) and then suddenly, the screen went blank, the fan started making noise, and that was it. Can't power it up or down.
I've had it 3 months. I was watching 24 on it last night. Since the battery is inaccessible, there was no way to turn it off. I called Microsoft Tech Support and they were useless I took it into the Aventura Mall Microsoft Store but they said they can't fix it they can only send it out which will take weeks.
I have the Complete Care plan, mind you.
I tried unscrewing the bottom myself. I still couldn't get it off, but the fan noise at stopped. I tried hooking up to power and turning it on, but it still won't turn on.
Help please, other than taking it to Microsoft Store who said it will take weeks to repair.

Good news. I went back to the Microsoft Store and met with someone different. He looked at my computer and said since it had only been 3 months, he'd swap it out with a new one, swap out my hard disc, and restart my Complete Care warranty. So that was great! He did it right in front of me. I told him the other guy the other day said they couldn't do that and he said he'd have a talk with him. They don't know what caused the other problem, but said it seemed related to it not holding a charge.
Also, he said he was able to remove the warped screw because he had another, slightly bigger, screwdriver.

Thinkpad Yoga - Insufficient external display resolution over the Onelink

My local Lenovo Partner just confirmed the data in "User Guide" of the TPYoga, that the external screen resolution will only be 1920x1200.
"User Guide" Page 10, http://www.lenovo.com/shop/americas/content/user_guides/tpyoga_ug_en.pdf
"Display resolution:
– LCD: 1366-by-768 or 1920-by-1080, depending on the model
– External monitor: up to 1920-by-1200, depending on the monitor model"
I mean what do I want the OneLink Dock / OneLink PRO Dock for??
Of cause to connect a large screen and this not with a worse ppi than the intern display. So I need at least 2560x1600
(we don’t even talk about all the disadvantages of a 16:9 screen, cause that’s off topic).
Idealy I expect of cause a 4k resolution possibility together with the OneLink Pro Dock and multi stream (daisy chain) possibility at the display port.
But 1920x1200 external graphic output can’t be meant serious for a 2000US$ device??

Ok, let’s accept that the new Thinkpad YOGA Manual includes misinformation.
Actually I’m sitting in front of my 2048x1152 Display which is connected to my 8 years old Asus Notebook via DVI. Does this old jalopy perform a higher resolution via DVI than the Thinkpad Yoga via “OneLink PRO Dock-DVI” does?
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/options/tp_onelink_pro_dock_ug_en.pdf
Page 13
(I’m guessing in the first line (behind "One monitor") it’s supposed to mean DVI instead of DP”
(1) Lenovo, are these technical details of the NEW OneLink Pro Dock also wrong like the Manual of the Yoga regarding the maximum resolution?
Would be very helpful for me to plan with correct information..
(2) And is it definitely true that I can't connect two displays at the OneLink PRO Dock with a higher resolution than 1920x1200??
That would mean I send the Thinkpad Yoga back and better stay with my 8 years old ASUS jalopy.. smileyfrustrated:

Iphone 4 is not recognized by itunes, will not sync, charge indicator icon does not come on when hooked to usb charger

When I hook my iphone 4 up to itunes, it does not show up on the left. It will not sync, and the lightning bolt charging indicator on the phone does not come on although it appears to be charging over time because the battery level has increasd.
I am running Mac OS X, up to date as is my iTunes. I tried the steps from the website troubleshooting guide and nothing worked.

Additionally, charging through other devices such as my car charger has the same symptoms.

Thinkpad Yoga 13 keyboard and mousepad don't work

Hello people!
Last time I went to US, I've bought this machine from Amazon: Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga Signature Edition - 12.5" 2-in-1 Touchscreen Notebook PC - Intel i5 Haswell / 8GB RAM / 128GB SSD / WiFi / Webcam / Windows 8.1 - Black
I love it! At least until two weeks ago... after a windows/lenovo update things starts to be really hard.
My keyboard and mousepad simple don't work anymore, totally unresponsive. If I hit "del" to access the bios, the keyboard does work, after that, when windows is loading and fully loaded, I've got only the "tablet" mode.
The only thing that works correctly is the touchscreen, as it only recognize itself as a tablet, not as a ultrabook. The screen also rotates automatacly when windows is fully loaded, so I have to use the tent mode with an external usb keyboard/mouse or type in the screen keyboard...
I leave in Brazil, got in contact with lenovo suport team here, after a lot of procedures, that didn't solve the problem, they told me to get in contact with lenovo US and ask for an original dvd recovery.
Is there anyone with a different approach to solve this problem?

First try SMC and PRAM resets:

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a free diagnosis.
Ciao.

Battery Charging Indicator Light Is Out

I own a tangerine iBook, OS X 10.4 operating system.
For a year or so charging the battery while the power cord in has been a "fussy" project -- sometimes it wouldn't charge until I moved the "plug-in-to-the-computer" end of the cord out ever so slightly. I bought a new power cord, but that didn't change things.
I don't have internet at hom, so most days I take my laptop and power cord to the public library and use the library's WiFi to look for work. Yesterday I came home, plugged in the power cord, and no battery charging light. I "jiggled" the cord, got out the old power cord and tried that one, then I tried a different electrical outlet. No battery charging indicator light, and the battery is discharging while I use it with the power cord.
I'm assuming this is an electrical problem that I can't fix, but can anyone fix it? When the battery runs out, will the iBook keep running when plugged into an electircal outlet, or is the electricity not getting to where it need to be?
I've had problems with the battery not charging before, and once I was advised to reset something, but I've alway had the indicator light on, so now I don't know if power is getting to my computer.
I went to About This Computer, clicked on Power and saw this:
AC Charger Information:
AC Charger (Watts):    0
Connected:    No
Charging:    No
which looks like it doesn't think I'm connected to any power source.

Yes, if resetting the PMU doesn't work, it does sound like the DC-in board has failed.
It is not an easy repair (especially for someone who describes herself as "NonTech."

[New Thinkpad Yoga 12 2015] enable Hyper-V feature on Windows 8.1 pro

Hello,
i am a french customer, and i am very interested in the New Thinkpad Yoga 12 2015, especially the version available with Windows 8.1 Pro. and processor Intel Core i7-5500U.
As an IT expert in Database technonlogies, i used to create virtual machines with the 'Hyper-V client' feature available in Windows 8.1 Pro.
- I saw that the Intel Core i7-5500U processor is compatible with the Intel VT-x and EPT virtualization technologies.
- i saw that the Bios menu offers to enable/disable 2 virtualization parameters (link : http://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/yoga_12_ug_en.pdf)
Do you know if the New Thinkpad Yoga 12 allows to enable the 'Hyper-V client' feature under Windows 8.1 Pro ?
It is very important for me to have this information, because a computer without the 'Hyper-V client' is not usefull for me
So before buying this computer, i have to be sure that it will be able to enable the 'Hyper-V client'.
Thanks a lot for tour reply

Good day.
Please recall that this is a peer-2-peer support community. It's quite possible with the newness of the 2015 ThinkPad Yoga 12 (gen2), that no members with appropriate information have seen your post yet.
