Thinkpad Yoga Mouse / Keyboard freezing

Hello,
On my new TPY 20CD001UK the keyboard and trackpad seem to freeze very often. All dirvers are updated. The digitizer and touchpad continue working when the trackpad and keyboard become unresponsive.
Occasionally the keyboard will lag and dump all entered text after it unfreezes.
Is there any fix for this?

Okay... so lets focus back on the question. Why are we having lockups?  I'm on a model with the SSD. It happened again, shortly after I posted my comments. It happened after coming out of sleep. Since there is no HDD indicator, one has absolutely no idea if there is HDD/SSD activity consuming CPU. So, you wait, and hope eventually the system will begin responding.

  • 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:

    If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a free diagnosis.

  • Macbook Pro Retina Mouse/Keyboard freeze

    Hi there,
    I have a 2013 macbook pro retina that's less than a month old. I have experienced a number of trackpad/mousepad freeze issues while using the computer. They occurred in close succession while using 10.93. I update to 10.94 and had not experienced the problem again since then(a week or more) but today it crashed. this is a big problem as i am a dj and use this laptop to play live gigs. I was hoping that you could help me isolate the problem. What happens is I will be working away and suddenly the mouse will freeze and the computer will become unresponsive, the keyboard doesn't work except for the power button.... also, the desktop background disappears upon forced restart.... any ideas? what may be causing this? Thanks in advance, Richard

    If your machine is less than a month old, you should use your warranty and call AppleCare (you have 90 days of phone support) or take your machine back to the Apple Store (make an appointment with the Genius Bar first) and let them deal with the issue.
    If yours is the 13" model, there is a thread on here (somewhere) about trackpad and keyboard failures when also using Bluetooth, I think (don't quote me on that - I don't have the affected machines so I don't follow the thread too closely).
    But I do believe that Apple is aware of the issue and had 'fixed' it in either a patch preceding 10.9.4 or in 10.9.4 itself.
    Give them a call...

  • Mouse & Keyboard freeze

    Please help... my G4 and my mouse & keyboard are not communicating. I have 2 other Macs in the house & the mouse & keyboard work just fine on those computers. I also have a wireless Mighty Mouse that doesn't work with my desktop Mac either...works fine on my laptop.
    I can turn the G4 on & off, but cannot use it. I am stumped.
    Thank you.

    First, try lugging your keyboard into your other USB port. Try a USB device in that port. Is the port good?
    Are you using a wireless mouse & kb? New battery?

    [Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
    Safe boot mode runs a directory check command similar to that used by Disk Utility's repair. In Tiger it ignores some stored information (cache) that is normally read that speeds up the boot process, and it moves some other caches to the trash. It also uses only System fonts and disables all Startup Items and any Login Items.
    If that doesn't help then boot from you installer disc to run Disk Utility to repair your drive and permissions.

    From BDaqua (couldn't have said it better):
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer (Edit: Do not use this disc if it is not the same general version as what you have currently on your computer, e.g. use a Tiger disc for a Tiger drive, not a Panther disc), then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    Then Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes."

  • Mouse+Keyboard Freeze and LOUD fan noise...

    Hi,
    Seems to be a few similar threads, so here we go...
    Just got my iMac G5 20" 1GB Ram (OS 10.4.3) 2 days ago. All went well and suddenly, mouse + keyboard froze. About 10sec later, the fans kick iun, VERY loud. Never stopped for 2 hours.
    If I reboot, shutdown and restart, do all the kind of troubleshooting you can read, it always starts again int he grey screen with the Apple and the fans at max revs, VERY nousy.
    Eventually it goes away. But about 1 hour later, same story.
    I ran the Apple Hardware test and all tests came PASS but there was originally a memory error POST/0/2048 notice. But the 1GB memory test passed...
    Had a chat with the Apple Agent support, said this code shows a hardware component failure.
    Have to bring back 10KG of EXPENSIVE Apple HW to the store tomorrow.
    Great way to spend Xmas indeed
    Any comments or suggestions?
    Thanks,
    JP

    Hey,
    When does this happen exactly? On Toshiba screen or Windows startup screen?
    Are you running factory settings or another OS?
    I think its hard to say why this happens. It could be software or hardware malfunction
    Fact is you can test the RAM modules using Memtest86 or another diagnostic tool. You can ask Google to find it, its freeware. Just download an iso image and create a bootable CD/DVD. If you boot from this disk you can start the test.

  • USB Mouse & Keyboard freezes with USB KVM after a while

    Looks like connecting and disconnecting USB keyboard & mouse using USB hub causes some processes to freeze - the mouse and keyboard stop responding and you cannot log out or restart the OS X. Anybody else has the same issue?

    I found what the issue was - it was not Apple or KVM, but logitech software that I installed to handle my trackball. Uninstalling the software fixed this issue. So the conclusion is - USB KVM works great with MacBook, but Logitech software is junk.

  • Mouse & keyboard freeze at startup

    Hallo, sorry for my poor English, I hope made myself clear.
    I've a problem with my mouse and keyboard (Logitech S 530 Mac cordless). They used to work very well, but from one day to the next, they work in login screen, where I can move the mouse pointer and write down my login password, but they freeze when the computer loads the start screen. Nothing happens forcing a boot. I can use them only if I unplug the power and then I plug it in again. I've set up the restart after an electric fall, so it powers up and all work fine. Could you help me? Thanks a lot

    Your English is quite good by the way!
    I's starting to sound like Hard Drive failure or at least severe HD corruption, see if it even shows up here...

  • Mouse/keyboard freezes?

    Two questions. 1- does anyone else experience their mouse freezing? I was watching a movie and when I finished I closed the dvd player and the mouse was froze, and the keyboard wouldn't eject the cd? I then had to use ea shortcut. 2- is there a shortcut way to reboot the computer?

    Do you have the Intel model? It is in one of your posts, but not the other? If it is, try posting over in this forum.
    If not, try updating to 10.4.6 using the Combo updater instead of the delta update through software update.
    Obviously backup all your data first, preferably by cloning the internal drive to a FireWire drive using SuperDuper. Then download but don't apply update yet. Repair permissions, unplug all USB and FW devices - except keyboard and mouse - apply update, restart, and repair permissions again.

  • Mouse/keyboard freezing machine around same time every day

    Using a silver tower G5 here and around the same time every day for the past week I've had to power down the machine. The mouse and keyboard just freeze. About a week ago we did put this on a KVM to switch between this and a G4 connected to a SCSI scanner. The KVM has only PS/2 ports so we're using the Belkin Y PS/2 to USB adapters. The problem seemed to have started a day or so after starting to use the KVM but I'm not sure if this is related to the freezing problem. Here's what's in the Console around the time of the freeze:

    Too many adapters. For troubleshooting purposes can you go with a mouse and keyboard connected as directly as possible?
    Do you know what Adobe LM is? That seems to be buggering things up a little.
    If you still have the errors after trying it with as few adapters as possible, try repairing your startup disk.

  • How can I stop the Thinkpad Yoga 14 from disabling the touchpad and keyboard?

    My dad got a Thinkpad Yoga 14 about a month ago and he usually uses his laptop at a 90 degree angle in bed. So when he is on his side, the laptop is on it's side as well. When he does that with the Thinkpad Yoga, the touchpad and the keyboard are disabled and he cannot use the laptop like he wants to. I think because it's a setting to not accidentally touch the keyboard or mouse when using it in tablet mode.
    I cannot find any setting on how to stop Windows from disabling the touchpad and keyboard on rotate. I've turned off auto-rotate but can't see anything else. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    iPhoto seems to be viewing the iPod as a camera.  Therefore go to iPhoto's General preference pane and select No application in the Connecting camera opens: menu.

  • ThinkPad Yoga - Keyboard key stucks - how to remove it correctly

    Hi everybody, 
    this is maybe a simple and stupid question but I won't do anything wrong.
    One of my keyboard keys does not work correctly, I think there is something under the key which is blocking because when I press the key I feel a stronger resistance than on the other keys. Sometimes I need to press the key 3 or 4 times before the letter is written - realy annoying
    Obviously I should remove the key and clean it or remove whatever is under the key. Since my ThinkPad Yoga is quite new I don't want to damage it or lose my warrenty through "learning by doing"...
    So can anybody tell me how to remove a key from the ThinkPad Yoga keyboard correctly and reassemble it correctly as well? -> without any damage
    Reagards,
    Ben

    Thanks for the link, but don't you think there is a possibility to remove a single key and not the whole keyboard?
    I found this video for "ThinkPad keyboards" - however, like you mentioned the lift and lock keyboard is probably a special case.
    Does anyone know if the method from the video works for the TP Yoga also?

  • ThinkPad Yoga: Needs a better keyboard & quiet trackpad

    While I love the protection of the keyboard on the ThinkPad Yoga, I really hope future versions include more key travel. The current keyboard is frustrating.
    The trackpad is LOUD.  Really? VERY LOUD. Distracting to the passenger on the plane next to me. He asked if I had a broken key.
    Fantastic machine, but the keyboard and trackpad need work.
    JIM

    Hi Jim,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    Thanks for your feedback regarding ThinkPad Yoga and I appreciate the thoughts shared.
    While I think Lenovo still has an amazing build quality and the machines are tank-like in durability, people make comparisons within the same series. Many people have favorite features or design elements on a particular model, and because they value that, the design directions for new models may be seen as better or worse. Hopefully, our engineers will take the suggestions to concern while designing upcoming machines.
    Regarding the trackpad clicking noise, Check if the sound is mechanical from the device itself and not related to the speakers at all.  If it is mechanical, possibly something is loose under the touchpad.
    I strongly recommend you to contact our technical support for assistance.

  • Drops of sweat on Keyboard Thinkpad Yoga Keyboard

    Hey guys, after some excersize, I got on my laptop and had  a few drops of sweat land on the keyboard and trackpad.
    I turned the laptop off shortly after, this was 6:30pm yesterday and now at 7:00 am some of the keys are still acting wonky.
    I gotta say I am very worried as this is my school laptop. At the same time I thought the Thinkpad Yoga keyboard was spill resistant.
    What can I do to remedy this situation. Again I didn't even spill anything. Just had some drops of sweat on the keyboard
    Solved!

    i hope someone can help

    I have the same problem - extremely annoying, particularly if I have several other applications / documents open with unsaved changes!
    I thought I had found a fix by force-quitting the Finder (another App must be open) and then plugging in the headset, then clicking the Finder icon on the dock to re-launch it - that worked a few times, but not all the time.
    This would be a *really good topic* for someone to resolve.
