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

i believe those are the only MT for ThinkPad Yoga 12 at the moment.

Need help with warranty service on ThinkPad Yoga

Sorry for the seemingly angry headline but I am quite irritated at this point. Around three weeks ago I lost one of the rubber feet off my Thinkpad Yoga 2. After looking on Amazon, the Lenovo store and on Ebay I tried to ask here for advice around two weeks ago but I still have not received an answer (I don't know if this forum is run by Lenovo mods or by a Lenovo "community" of some sorts). I saw a similar question for missing feet on the S1 but the OP had not received an answer either.
Yesterday another rubber foot came off so now both rubber feet on the back are missing thereby also partly blocking the air intake (I will glue it back on!). I therefore decided to call Lenovo to get some new ones. They put me through to IBM customer service which told me that it is not possible to buy rubber feet separately so in order to get two new rubber feet I have to buy a new base cover for the mere price of €80.50 which is just taking the piss out of people, especially when my laptop is 6 months old and still under warranty.
The rubber foot which came off yesterday was so badly glued that it was almost a joke! Since I bought a laptop which has **bleep**ty rubber feet I have to buy a new bottom cover for €80 in order to solve the problem? If that is not taking the piss out of your customers than please tell me what is?

Thinkpad Yoga - ghosting / after-image / watermark issue

Admin Note: This thread has been reorganized for escalation purpose - using ajpot's info for escalation since he was the first to respond to my request of collecting information.
I've got the ghosting issue on my yoga as well. It was OK for the first few weeks (no noticeable ghosting at all) but now it only takes around a minute of having something on screen for ghosting to appear when switching to something else.
I'm in the process of sending my yoga in for repair as I'm experiencing some other issues, so I've asked them to repair the screen as well. From what I've read, it's likely they won't be able to fix it (in which case I'll be asking for a refund) but I'll see how it goes.
Machine: ThinKPad Yoga
Machine Type Model: 20CD-CT01WW
Date manufactured: 3rd December 2013

As amirvf mentioned this is a common issue and there is an active discussion about it over at http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo/731068-lenovo-thinkpad-yoga.html Here is a quick recap:TPY uses a 12.5" LG Philips panel that has really, REALLY bad case of image retention (ghosting)The ghosting is not permanent and is actually specific to the way LCD panels work and present on all panels, but usually it's so minor that it is not noticeable to the naked eye. In case of those LG Philips panels, however, the effect is VERY noticeable.Lenovo has a page explaining the general issue: http://support.lenovo.com/de_DE/detail.page?DocID=HT051485The easiest way to check for this is via http://www.marco.org/rmbp-irtest.html (this is a test that was made for MBPro that had ghosting issues, but it works great for testing TPY too)The same panel is used in Dell XPS 12 and there is a long thread on Dell forums complaining about the issue: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/t/19497269.aspxThe problem is inherent to the process/chemistry used in the panels and cannot be solved via software/driver update. (Although some support representatives will direct you to partial solutions that flash different colors and can alleviate the issue but only marginally). To fix this issue panel manufacturer (LG Philips) would have to modify it's tech process and a replacement panel would have to be installed.The bad news are that currently there is no solution (AFAIK). They can swap your panels to your heart's delight, but currently there are not panels available that do not exhibit the issue (You should note, however, that the issue is usually less pronounced on a new panel and is gradually amplified over a course of first several weeks, so if you have on-site support and if you/Lenovo are willing, you could theoretically swap your panels every two weeks or so to approximate a real solution). Also note that the market for 12.5" panels is relatively small and there is no real competition, so there is no strong incentive for LG Philips to fix anything (XPS 12 has been suffering from this for over a year now, even through a model refresh)The good news are that Dell has finally acknowledged the issue and are saying that LG Philips has fixed the panels and new batch is coming around February, plus some people have reported that their newly bought XPS 12 does not exhibit ghosting. So, assuming this is indeed so, new panels should trickle down to TPY owners too sometimes. I'd love to see an official acknowledgement/response from Mark on this...

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, 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 wakes up on its own after going to sleep blaming lid if wifi was enabled

Recently I've noticed that my Thinkpad Yoga (20CD00B1US) keeps waking up on its own.
powercfg lastwake returns
Wake History Count - 1
Wake History [0]
Wake Source Count - 1
Wake Source [0]
Type: Device
Instance Path: ACPI\PNP0C0D\2&daba3ff&2
Friendly Name:
Description: ACPI Lid
Manufacturer: (Standard system devices)
It happens either if lid was kept open and I used power button to put it to sleep or if I just close the lid. As soon as I do that I can see red LED goes on and off slowly so I know it is sleeping. However within 5 minutes or less, I see that red LED on top of "i" constantly lit.
If I do powercfg -devicequery wake_armed , I get
Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260
That is really odd. I have WPA2 (PSK) wireless network, and I'm confident other devices are not that smart to send any WOL packets (or whatever it is called for wireless). Also I have AMT and other stuff disabled in BIOS. Intel Smart Connect has Remote Wake set to OFF, Keep Data Fresh is OFF as well. The problem goes away if I turn flight mode (turn off wifi) before sending PC to sleep.
Does anybody else experience similar behavior and what can I do to prevent waking it up without flipping wifi switch? It is so strange that the lid is at blame while the problem is somehow related to wireless adapter.
P.S. Installed BIOS version is 1.05 (not the latest 1.06). All essential updates are installed.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You may wish to check the WNIC's properties in Device Manager to see if Allow this device to wake the computer under Power Management is selected. If so, deselect to see if your issue is resolved.

Thinkpad Yoga crashes almost every day

A few weeks ago my 4-year old laptop started crashing a few times every week, so I decided to get a TPY. I received a 20CD000MMH (I5, 8 Gb RAM, 500Gb HDD+16Gb M.2 SSD) with windows 8.1 Pro (64 bit) on the 20. Feb and since then the longest time it has kept running is less than 48h. I've been downloading both recommended and optional (12. Feb BIOS update was optional!) Windows and Lenovo's System Updates every day, sometimes twice a day: after a crash System Update usually wants me to reinstall the LAN driver. I've reinstalled Intel's graphics driver several times over as well. For example yesterday screen brigthness was stuck at max after a BSOD, so at least it seems sometimes System Update is right in it's reccomendations.
Currently I have 5 files in the Windows minidump folder, about as many BSODs did not result in any. I've also done 2 resets after discovering in the morning that the computer is almost too hot to hold and won't shut down. Fortunately those have not recurred since disabling "turn off display" last week and checking every time I go to sleep that the computer really is off.
I haven't found many posts from other people who have this many crashes - I'm starting to feel I'm missing something obvious or have a really, really bad example of a TPY. At least there are no ghosting issues, although the SSD worked for caching for only a single glorious day of sub 20 sec. boots. Now I'm back to 1min+...
Does anyone have any advice, besides returning it? The only thing I think I haven't tried yet is messing with the virtual network adapter (http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-Edge-S-series/Thinkpad-Yoga-not-waking-up-after-sleep/td-p/1348... as I'm afraid of permanently losing the network connection (which has been working fine) or something and I haven't foud any real instructions.

And an update about my TPY also: my local Lenovo service couldn't find any hardware or software issues and it did not crash when it was there for two and a half days. They barely used it though. They did suspect the problem might have something to do with Lenovo and Microsoft programs being incompatible (both have power managers, for example) while running simultaneously. We decided to test software issues by having them reinstall Windows (on a 128 Gb M.2 SSD, which I had bought a few days before as I was sick and tired of the barely functional SSD caching) and by me avoiding any and all updates besides antivirus definitions. So far I've had one crash in 3 days, although it was not a BSOD. It just freezed up while watching a video and I had to reset it with a pin. So things have gotten better, especially considering I now can start using the computer in less than 30 seconds instead of 3 minutes after a crash. It's still not good though and there seem to be some memory issues: when I wake up the computer or restart Windows the setting keep changing for no reason. So far the desktop background has changed color, scaling goes from 125% (which I prefer) to either 100% or 150% and the mouse pointer size changes. Also I've gotten some memory errors (displayed too briefly to write down) when making changes to the account that require me to log off. I'll keep it for a few days and look for additional problems but it looks like I'm going to have to have the motherboard replaced...

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.
Solved!

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

2100: Detection error on HDD0 (Thinkpad Yoga)

I have a Thinkpad Yoga which today was turned on while I was away (i.e. computer was not in use). When returning back the screen said "2100: Detection error on HDD0 (Main HDD)". Windows must have crashed (probably just another one of those faulty Lenovo drivers) and then the system couldn't boot up.
Everything seems alright after a hard reboot but I'm afraid my SSD drive has gone bad.

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.

ThinkPad Yoga - BitLocker- / TPM-problem

Hi everybody,
I got a very strange problem which I was unable to solve yet:
My ThinkPad Yoga won't work with BitLocker.
After initiation of the "BitLocker system test", it boots to the blue "BitLocker screen" - still, the PIN which was set before is not accepted. After cancellation of the test, Windows 8 (Windows 8.1 Update 1) states that the test failed, because the TPM could not be written.
While doing some troubleshooting, I recognized that BIOS states the TPM being in "MFG Mode" (= manufacturing mode?); this might be caused by a motherboard change done by the Lenovo service approx. 1 month ago.
My question is:
Does anybody know how to make the TPM leave "MFG mode" or any other solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
David

ThinkPad Yoga 14 - no stylus?

After the media event yesterday, I tried to determine if the new ThinkPad Yoga 14 will be available with a stylus and digitizer. It looks like it won't. So I won't be buying one.
Can anybody confirm or refute this?

New Thinkpad Yoga 12.5" cover got hardly removable stain

I just bought thinkpad yoga a few days ago. I found out that there is either scratch or oil mark stick on the screen cover.
I was using my computer when eating burger, maybe I got oil stain on top of it, but I couldn't manage to remove it. I have already use soap and rub it with some pressure, but it still stay as it is.
I know this is quite minor issue to you all, but it's quite annoying to got this issue when I bought just a few days ago.
Below is the picture about the stain. See the glossy mark on the cover.
Please let me know if anybody of you have solved this issues.
Thank you,
