Thinkpad Yoga - Touchscree​n malfunctio​ning - Random clicks in vertical line

Hi.  I just received my Thinkpad Yoga today (yay!) however already there seems to be what I can only assume is a fault.  Now and again, and now for a prolonged period (>1 hour) the touchscreen seems to keep registering clicks arranged relatively randomly, but within a thin narrow vertical band near the centre of the screen.
Hovering the stylus near the screen prevents the clicks occurring though, and so using the stylus I've managed to finally get into Device Manager and disable the touchscreen HID
I've tried looking for driver updates etc to no avail.  My laptop is currently turned off for a while, and I'll see if it's resolved once I turn it back on again.
Has anyone else had this issue, or has anyone got any suggestions?  I'll have to give Lenovo a call in the morning I expect, as this just isn't right!

This now seems to be resolved, or at least seems to have stopped.  Potentially was related to some DNS server software somehow (though no idea how!)

    Hello, My mobile has continuous problems of touchscreen malfunctioning.
    When i remove the battery and assemble again, touch screen starts working for 30 minutes or 1 hour, but then it stops working, can you please advise of how do i return it for repair or replacement

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    What you describe could be software or hardware caused. But, since you have asked only about formal support for repair or replacement, then you need to review your original device purchase contract documents...those should contain whatever specific warranty/support methodologies apply to you. If you don't have those documents, then contact the seller from whom you bought it for advice and assistance. Warranty and support methods vary based on the specific terms of each individual purchase, so there is no way for anyone here to know that answer as it applies specifically to you.
    Good luck!

  • 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

  • Form Factor on the Thinkpad Yoga S2 15.6

    Will it be the same as on the S1?  If so, can anyone give their real-world experience with using it as a tablet?
    Since it will have a digitizer option, I'm inclined to go with it over the 12, although I never had any complaints about the screen real estate on my Surface Pro.
    The waffling between the two is driving me nuts.

  • 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 - 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: 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.

  • Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga OS Upgrading

    Hi All,
                 I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga laptop, Model no is 20CDA016HH. In this windows 8 Home edition is already installed. My doubt is that, can I upgrade the windows 8 Home Edition to Windows 8.1 Pro Edition. What should I do for that.
    Advance thanks for you kind support.
    Regards,
    Jomy T S

    There should be an installer somewhere on your computer - look for a file called "iTunesSetup.exe" (32-bit) or "iTunes6464Setup.exe" (64-bit) - you'll almost certainly have got the second of these on a Windows 8 machine.  Then double-click on this file to install iTunes.  If you can't find the files, the direct links are here:
    iTunes 12.1.1.4 (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
    iTunes 12.1.1.4  (64-bit) - itunes6464setup.exe
    iTunes 12.1.1.4  (64-bit "for older video cards") - iTunes64Setup.exe
    The last of these is an alternative installer for 64-bit systems you find that using the "standard" 64-bit version causes playback issues or problems with QuickTime or Outlook integration.

  • 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.
    Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.

    Mithun.

  • Thinkpad Yoga: Strange honking sounds and audio/video glitches

    WARNING: LOUD VIDEO EXAMPLES
    I have a Thinkpad Yoga, type 20CD with Windows 8.1, and when I'm running some white noise to help me concentrate, I get these strange honking noises that are quite disruptive. Even worse is that when I'm trying to watch a video on youtube, the honking noise occurs and this seems to lead to quick stalls in the video as well (note: the major stall in the middle of this video may just have been a bit of lag, I meant to highlight the minor stalls like the one that occurs at around 2 seconds). Actually, it seems that the honking causes the entire system's video to stall (e.g. cursor stalls, clock stalls, etc)
    I've found only one other thread dealing with this issue and it wasn't resolved.
    Addressing the suggestions brought up in the linked thread:
    1) The problem occurs regardless of if I'm using the laptop's built-in speakers or my headphones. I don't see any reason to hook it up to my TV and check HDMI out.
    2) Yes, problem persists with headphones.
    3) The problem occurs whether I'm using the lowest quality or the highest quality audio.
    4) It's the whole system, not just one application.
    5) The microphone has nothing to do with it. Enabled or disabled, the problem still persists.
    I've updated my audio drivers but this hasn't done anything to mitigate the problem.
    Strangely enough, what does help is turning off my WiFi (i.e. Fn + F8). When the honking is occuring, I can switch the wireless card to airplane mode and the problem immediately goes away. I've read somewhere that this may be because of poor grounding on the audio card, meaning that the antenna is possibly picking up radio signals.
    Are there any possible solutions to this problem?

    Audigy shares IRQ with IDE controller and firewire controller. This is not good.
    NOTE: I suppose you're running your PC on "Standard PC" -mode (since IRQ's >5 not showing). If so, you can try to assign IRQ for the PCI slot, Audigy is installed, manually from BIOS. See your motherboard manual page 4-26.
    Can you check if your PC is running as "Standard PC" and not as "ACPI Uniprocessor PC" (Device Manager --> Computer). Make it "ACPI Uniprocessor PC" --> you get more IRQs (virtual) in use.
    NOTE: You may need to reinstall OS to get this done.
    Also you may need to enable APIC mode on BIOS.
    How To:
    A) Go to 'Device Manager' a short cut to get there is "Right Click" on the My computer Icon on your desktop (Control Panel --> System --> Hardware),
    B) Next click on 'Computer', then double click on 'Standard PC'. Then select 'Driver' and then 'Update Driver'.
    C) At this point you will see a screen pop up asking you to do this "Automatically" or Select 'Display a list of the known drivers for this device', - Choose this option.
    D) Next you will see - 'Show all hardware of this device class'. Now you can select "ACPI Uniprocessor PC" in the list shown in the window to the right.
    E) Now Windows needs/will re-start and re-install all hardware/ settings needed to run in this configuration.

  • Thinkpad Yoga w/ active digitizer

    I've read that the 20cd0032us and 33us Thinkpad Yoga models are the only ones without an active digitizer.  However, this appears to be all that is for sale on Amazon and other places.  Any idea of where you can but a Thinkpad Yoga with an active digitizer??

    I recently acquired a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga, fully loaded except for one thing.
    I was told this unit was refurbished but actually had the active digitizer technology in it. Once the device arrived it had no pen and the slot where the pen is seems to be sealed shut, I attempted to check device manager and was greated with this:
    http://imgur.com/oJ7ChKR
    So i went to best buy to test a Wacom Pen on it
    It would register single "click" like presses, but it was choppy and dotted when drawing.
    Tried drawing a 5 inch line. It wouldn't form solid, it was just a point every inch after a solid stroke
    Since it registered input does it mean it's gonna work and just has to be calibrated or?
    I only bought this laptop because I needed to be able to do graphic design on the go so it is worthless if it doesnt have the technology.
    Please help, a very frustrated user.

  • 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.

  • Fan racing intermittently, no CPU load, Thinkpad Yoga 15

    I just purchased a Thinkpad Yoga 15. I was trying to fix its disabled discrete graphics card. One thing i did was update the BIOS. I think it's after this that the fan started to intermittently race. It's silence, then runs loudly and annoyingly for a second or two, slilent again, then randomly continues. Before the upgrade it was silent all the time. 
    This is terrible. Anyone has any ideas? 

    paraloid wrote:
    Well here I am on the new thread as well - and like heck the issue was resolved on the old thread. As mentioned before by myself and others on the other thread, I would update the BIOS, the fan would work for a while, then it would stop again until I updated the BIOS yet again.HOWEVER, thinking on this, and a variety of other problems I've been having with the TP Yoga (a whole lot - such buggy software), I remembered from my T61 days that the Lenovo System Update software is pretty hit and miss with finding updates. So I went to the Lenovo downloads page for the TP Yoga and indeed found a lot of software not passed onto me by the System Update.Amongst these was (TA-DA !) a utility "Lenovo Fan Test for Windows". I thought it would be useful to install in any case to test if the fan was operating properly (it was not part of the standard suite of diagnostic tools provided on my computer).Anyway since I installed it my fan has worked !!! - but only when my computer is plugged in, though this I believe is because I am using Lenovo Power Optimized (Lenovo Power Manager was another software on the site not provided to me via System Update) which I believe relies on passive cooling (throttling back processor) when only battery power is available. But now TpFan works all the time, though only in smart mode, and when I plug in the power to stream a video the computer doesn't reach boiling point and then shut down.Interesting. My fan diagnostic comes up as unavailable...

  • 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!

    Mithun.
