Thinkpad yoga - hdd a CRU or not?

Hi,
according to the HMM, the hdd is not a CRU. On this website you list it as optionally self-servicable though.
(Note: The website does not list the base cover as a CRU although it has to be removed to gain access to the HDD).
Can you please verify and state if the hdd is a CRU or not? I'd only consider buying a device that covers swapping drives under warranty.

none of the internal component on the Yoga is considered CRU.

  • Looking to purchase a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 14, but it is not available in Canada.

    Can it be shipped either directly to me (buy online?) or to a Canadian store for pickup? I understand that Best Buy is the sole reseller of the product. Thanks

  • Clean reinstall Windows 8.1 on Thinkpad Yoga

    Hello,
    I have been having a large amount of trouble with my Thinkpad Yoga in that I have not been able to access the majority of the applications for a while.  I have tried solving the problem, however after a number of failed attempts, I decided I would rather get rid of the bloatware anyway and do a clean re-install.
    However, I am unable to perform a clean reinstall as no media came with my purchase.  Where can I get a copy of windows 8.1 to perform a clean reinstall?

    I would think the described methodology to create recovery media and reload a Lenovo Think system with Microsoft Windows 8 preload is clear enough?

  • Thinkpad Yoga S2 Largest After-Market HDD

    Can anyone point me to the highest capacity 2.5" HDD, 2.5" SSD, and m.2 SSD that would be compatible with the Thinkpad Yoga S2 12?
    I know that I need to stick to 7mm on the 2.5" drive, and 42mm on the m.2.  I was hoping someone else had already done the research.
    Also, is the Maintenance Manual downloadable yet?
    Thanks for your help!

    if you type ThinkPad Yoga in the search box, and click on ThinkPad Yoga 12 in the result list, you will get an error, it has been going on for a while, probably a bug in Lenovo's database, it happens every once a while.  submitting ticket to their web admin usually doesn't help, i have tickets closed saying it is fixed and it wasn't, haven't bother for a while.
    Anyhow, the workaround is to use the Machine Type for search instead, you can get to the page, e.g. 20DK or 20DL would get you to

  • 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 microphone not working

    I've just recently recieved my brand new Thinkpad Yoga, and everything seems to be ok except the microphone. Under Recording Devices of Windows 8.1, the meter is showing no activitiy even with the boost and volume turned right up. Apps like Skype etc are showing no audio being received either. I've uninstalled the audio drivers completely and reinstalled which has made no difference. The driver reports that everything is ok too. I ran through the windows audio troubleshooting tool which reports no issues as well though it is clearly not working. Any suggestions of have I received an expensive duff laptop?

    Hi! I bought my Thinkpad yoga in December last year and I didn't recognise that my microphon isn't working (because I usually use an external headset) since I tried to call somebody at skype and it says "Problem with your recording device". I think it is the same problem as yours, because the microphone is recognised but I don't get any input.  Did you find an solution for this? I don't wanna sent my notebook in because I need it daily for work :/. 

  • ThinkPad Yoga - Digitizer is not working

    Hello,
    I just received my new shiny TPY (again). The first time I got it, the digitizer wasn't working. After a bit of research I realized that it probably was a hardware issue (No digitizer, pen or wacom device in device-manager). So I send it back.
    The mainboard got replaced and today I have my machine back. It was all working fine including the digitizer.
    But from one minute to the other it stopped working and I can't find any wacom or digitizer devices in the device-manager.
    Now my first thought was, that the Windows updates messed something up, so I've done a rollback but it's still not working.
    Am I doing something wrong or is it a hardware issue again?
    Thanks for advance.
    Robinhuett

    Hello. It isn't a Hardware Problem. It seems to be a software problem after Windows 8.1 Update.
    I have the same problem :-( When I start the PC it works perfect, until I used it as Tablet. After that the Digitizer Pen didn't work. So I reinstalled all drivers. After that the pen worked.. so I tested it again as Tablet, after that. the Digitizer Pen didn't work. Now I installed all drivers again but the Pen didn't worked.
    It is a big problem at Lenovo, because Lenovo has problems with the pen software a long time. It is soooo sad because I love the Thinkpad Yoga but with this Problem the price isn't acceptable. So I am going to send it back and wait for the Surface Pro 3. Because Thinkpad stands for the perfect Business Notebook and now... Lenovo has with the digitizer pen more problems than all others. And this is very sad :-(

  • TVSU not showing latest drivers for Thinkpad Yoga or updating to the latest software

    I'm using Windows 8.1 x64 with a Thinkpad Yoga
    I have TVSU (ThinkVantage Software Update) version 5.03.0010 which it updated itself to from a previous version.
    However, on the support page for the Thinkpad Yoga:
    http://support.lenovo.com/au/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-yoga-series-laptops/thinkpad-...
    The latest version of TVSU is shown to be 5.06.0020
    The current version of TVSU I am using is not updating my Intel graphics driver to the latest shown on the the website above (The latest version on the site is 10.18.10.3855 10/17/2014 whereas TVSU only updated mine to 10.18.10.3383 an older version which isn't available on the website).
    I prefer to do everything through automated updates and I have run into errors manually updating. Any ideas why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    This is normal.  All drivers must go through quality certification before showing up on SU. Typically a 2 month delay from the version posted on the support page.
    The absolute newest version would be found on www.intel.com. The support site has the absolute newest version. 

  • Thinkpad yoga digitiser nib not replacable?

    Hi all,
    I've bought a thinkpad yoga with digitiser and when i tried to change the nib of the digitiser i can't seem to get it out. (i figure a felt tib or rubber tip might never scratch the screen and might give it a better feel)
    I've tried the wacom tool for getting the nib out and even a swiss tool plier resulting in a ffed up nib still in place and me having to smoothen it with some sandpaper.
    Was lenovo really that stupid to not make the nibs interchangeable or replacable? Kind of majorly dissapointed if it's not...

    You can use the FRU P/N to search the maintenance parts site: http://www-304.ibm.com/shop/americas/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/default/PromotionDisplay?promoName=pa...
    Both numbers may help you search for 3rd party vendors.

  • Thinkpad yoga 3rd party pen not working

    So i bought a thinkpad yoga, and it came today - which I am really happy about. There's a problem though - I bought the computer thinking that I would get a pen with it and an active digitizer. I bought the computer over the phone, and i got a confirmation email saying that the base was a FHD 1080 screen. Since the only two options for the computer are either with partial HD and NO pen or with FHD and a pen, i assumed I was getting a pen or at least a digitizer with the computer.
    After all, I paid for it in full. 
    The pen did not come with the computer, however i was told that if i bought a thinkpad pen separately, it would still work. I have a digitzer pen already, but it doesn't work on this computer. 
    I tried to download the firmware update for the digitizer, which didn't work. I got a notice saying
    Current version: ????
    New Version:
    and then it said that a connection could not be established. I also tried to download the wacom feel driver, but it said that a compatible tablet was not detected. 
    Does anyone have any inkling what is going on here? somebody please help!!! I really don't want to have to return the laptop and have to purchase a new one.

    When I bought my Yoga, on the Australian Lenovo website it explicitly states it as a Wacom digitizer:
    http://shopap.lenovo.com/au/en/laptops/thinkpad/yoga-series/
    Pretty much every Lenovo machine that carried an active digitizer in the past has been Wacom (apart from a couple times I think they used N-Trig, a comptetitor to Wacom).
    What lead_org means is B - the Full HD 1080p screen can be had with or without an active digitizer - if does have one, it is guaranteed to be a Wacom. 
    Techinically speaking, a touchscreen is a digitizer (passive rather than active, since it only works on contact with your finger or a capacitive pen as opposed to hover capabilities etc.). The active digitizer panel is a seperate component from the screen.
    With lesser quality, there is the possibility that there are some differences between each Wacom digitizer panel - however, they won't have another manufacturer's active digitizer panel in the mix with the same product.
    ATM, there are four different active digitizers that can be had - Wacom, N-Trig, Atmel and Synaptics. 
    The technology that drives each company's active digitizer is fundamentally different and won't work between different brands of digitizer. (e.g. a Wacom pen won't work with an N-Trig active digitizer panel, and vice-versa.) So you won't find a Yoga that has N-Trig or any other digitizer.
    Wacom and N-Trig are the main players - Atmel and Synaptics just aren't on the same level as them yet.
    Wacom - common on Lenovo, Fujitsu, Samsung (under the name S-Pen), Toshiba tablet pcs
    N-Trig - common on Sony, ASUS Taichi tablet pcs
    Atmel - so far on HP products only
    Synaptics - Dell Venue 8 and 11 Pro
    Sorry if I sound like I'm rambling on - I'll stop it here. You can always do some Google searches and read up about this a bit more. Below is a link that might help.

  • Thinkpad Yoga, not waking up after sleep

    I have an issue with my Thinkpad Yoga (20CD).
    Sometimes after I have left my Yoga unattended. I come back and find that it's on (red light on) but screen is black, but nothing happends when moving mouse or pressing keys.
    I believe this is happens with regards to sleep mode.
    I still have some analysis to do wether it happens when power is connected or not, external monitor is connected or not.
    I have installed all the latest drivers from lenovos website.

    Hi Henrikh,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to hear that your ThinkPad Yoga goes to sleep and doesn’t resume normally.
    To disable the system from going automatically to sleep mode, go to control panel -> Power options -> on the left hand side, Change when the computer sleeps -> Change “Put the computer to sleep” to never.
    To enable a device to wake up the system from sleep, Go to control panel -> Device manager -> Go to "Mice and other pointing devices" and double click on the mouse which you are using and check "Allow this device to wake the computer". Press OK.
    Do the same for keyboard as well.
    Do let me know if it helped!
    Best regards,
    Mithun.

  • Thinkpad yoga 11e does not run working vbscript

    I'm using the Thinkpad to run the sample script ListAll.vbs provided by Lenovo. The script works fine on other models but when I try to run it on the Yoga 11e the return is an equal sign only. I looked at the documantation and it list the Yoga as compatiable so what could cause this issue?

    I have double-checked my ThinkPad Yoga 11e here, and it is working correctly.  My system originally had BIOS 1.15, which worked.  Then, to double-check, I updated to the latest BIOS 1.16 which also worked.
    Please double-check that you are using the correct scripts here:  http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/script.zip
    "cscript.exe ListAll.vbs"
    If you're still having problems, then I suspect something is wrong with your OS image, or some other software you have installed is interfering somehow.

  • Thinkpad Yoga 14: How to know whether the model had separate trackpad buttons or not

    So Lenovo has released the 2015 version of the Thinkpad Yoga 14. In the online manual it says that some models do and others don't have separate trackpad buttons. How do you know whether the specific models offers do or don't?
    The images in Lenovo's online store show the Thinkpad Yoga 14 without the separate buttons...

    1. Delete all applications you got from the Mac App Store. Also delete any pirated copies of App Store products that you may have installed.
    2. Rebuild the Spotlight index as follows:
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Spotlight ▹ Privacy
    The list of items excluded from Spotlight indexing is shown (it may be empty.) Click the plus (“+”) icon to add an item to the list. Select your volume (under DEVICES) and add it to the list. Then remove it from the list by selecting it and clicking the minus (“-“) icon.
    Spotlight will rebuild the index. If you try to do a Spotlight search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, a pulsing dot will appear in the icon. When the dot disappears, the indexing is complete.
    3. Check that the Apple ID associated with your account in the Users & Groups preference pane is correct.
    4. Reinstall the applications you deleted by downloading them from the App Store.

    Hi,
    is there a battery available as a replacement for a Thinkpad Yoga S1?
    Solved!

    From the ThinkPad S1 Yoga FRU BOM: http://download.lenovo.com/parts/ThinkPad/yoga_fru_bom_20140319.pdf
    there are two FRU P/Ns for the internal 8-cell battery on the first page.
    If you look at the hardware maintenance manual: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?DocID=UM019563
    manual pages 61 and 62 detail acess to and removal of the internal battery. Please note, though, that manual page 49 specifies that it is not either a Self-service or Optional service CRU (customer replaceable unit).
