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:

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.

20C0001HUS Thinkpad Yoga with digitizer?

Hi! I would like to buy this Thinkpad yoga model and I would like to know if the screen is digitizer enabled and it comes with the pen. What is the storage capacity on this model?
I asked various vendors from this site and everybody tells me something different...
http://www.shopbot.ca/pp-lenovo-thinkpad-s1-yoga-i5-4300u-20c0001hus-lenovo-price-483964.html

So the majority of the vendors told me that the storage is 180Gb SSD and that the digitizer pen is not included. Anyway the screen is an fhd
1920 x 1080, so my question is... If I buy a pen somewhere willl I be able to use the digitizer stylus anyway?
Thank you

the wacom digitiser should be bonded to the LCD, and does not come as a separate part.

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 :-(

Thinkpad Yoga: Digitizer only? Deactivate finger input

Hi everybody,
quick question: my Thinkpad x201 Tablet provided the option to deactivate finger input, i.e. use only the digitizer, which I quite like when making presentations, as this way no accidential input occurs when resting your hand on the screen while writing.
I now bought a Thinkpad Yoga 2. Couldn't figure out yet how to deactivate finger input there. Any ideas? Any workarounds?
Thanks a lot.

Okay guys, I just figured it out: finger input is automatically disabled as long as the digitizer is near the screeen. Quite fancy...

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 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?

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?

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.

Spare Stylus to Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga

Hi Guys
I am using my new Thinkpad Yoga and I am happy so far.
Unfortunately I lost my pen/stylus a few days ago and of course, the tablet/ultrabook is useless or just a normal notebook without a stylus.
However, I failed to find a spare-stylus which fits in the case. Could you direct me to a webshop or something were I can buy one?
And, as it is related to this topic, do you know any other stylus which work with this tablet? The original one is fine but to work all day long with the normal stylus it is a bit to small / thin.
Best regards
Schneeele

Other Wacom based tablet PC styluses should work but you might have to recalibrate the digitizer though.
You can check out the Wacom styluses that Fujitsu , Lenovo , and Samsung offer. Those all should work.

Thinkpad Yoga - screen wear when using the pen

I've been using penabled laptops for about 8 years now and bought a ThinkPad Yoga about 10 month ago.
The pen turned out to be disappointing - it's a lightweight job reminiscent of the pens they include with Samsung Note and like phablets rather tha a proper full size Wacom pen.
Just like other people I was also disappointed by the non removable plastic sheet protector on the screen in place of proper Gorilla glass screen cover.
But well, overall, apart from the awful touchpad, it was a decent laptop and I've been always happy with my previous Thinkpads, so I kept it.
Now, I'm using the pen a lot, incliding for scrolling. It turned out that the nib is not replaceable and that the plastic sheet protector on the screen is not hard enough to resist wear from the included pen - after 10 month of use it's pretty badly worn, especially in the scrolling area on the right.
I've never had this issue with my previous penabled tablets, even after 3-4 years of use, so I must say I'm rather disapponted at Lenovo selling this as a penabled laptop when the screen could not stand up to daily use with the included pen.
Does anyone else have this issue? Should I send it back to Lenovo to get the protective layer replaced while it's still under warranty?

I had this very problem with my Yoga S1 display screen. The anti-glare foil/protector became scratched by the digitizer pen. After reading a bunch of posts about removing this film layer, it looked easy enough, so I decided to JUST DO IT. My steps:
I grabbed a sharp razor blade and started in the corner where the "Lenovo" logo is placed (bottom left). Very gently, I slid the blade edge under the film being careful not to dig, pry, or lift the blade any more than necessary -- just keep is as flat as possible and glide slowly about 1/2" or so making an equilateral triangle shape. The corner of the film will lift up losing its adherence and, in my case, I experienced zero damage.
I elected to continue sliding the blade along all four edges only 1/8" or so deep - just to make sure that the film was lifted across the entire perimeter. No problems whatsoever - smooth as silk.
I went back to the starting corner and slid the blade a little further (approx. an inch) so that there would be a triangular section large enough for my fingers to grab without cracking or breaking the film layer.
I began pulling from that corner slowly and gently making sure that my other hand was resting on the glass as a brace. Note that you should pull level with the screen not upward. I did not use a blow dryer and, as it turned out, it wasn't necessary.
When I got to the point where one edge of the film was about at the center of the short width, I started pulling down that side until I reached the opposite corner.
I then continued pulling lengthwise working from edge to edge, then center, always keeping my other hand pressing lightly on the display screen glass (for leverage). If you want to avoid palm prints, wear a soft glove or put a microfiber cloth under your hand.
In no time at all, the entire sheet of film was removed in one piece - no cracks, breaks, or other problems.
There was no glue residue on the glass, so I just took a microfiber cloth and rubbed it to a gorgeous shine.
I fired up the laptop and was amazed at the extra clarity and color -- and NO SCRATCHES!
Is there additional glare? Yes, of course, but I just tilt the screen to avoid it as I do with all my other devices.
I started working with the digitizer pen and, thus far, I see no evidence that it will scratch the screen surface which, I have been advised, is gorilla glass.
This entire process took less than 15 minutes. It has taken me longer than that to write it up!
I would be happy to answer any questions if there are any. Good luck!

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...

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.

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

No Bluetooth on Thinkpad yoga 15...

I recently acquired a Thinkpad yoga 15 laptop and while playing with the options I realised it completely lacked Bluetooth functionality. I have tried updating the Intel PROSet Bluetooth software, updating the network adapter drivers, disabling the adapter altogether and reenabling it through the BIOS. I don't know if the Bluetooth adapter is supposed to appear as a different adapter in the Device Manager or if only the Intel Dual-Band AC 7265 is supposed to show up (under the Advanced tab, Bluetooth is labeled as Active). No bluetooth option is present in the PC and devices options menu... I even reset to factory settings in case it was an issue with a third party program, but even there, same situation. Am I missing something? Please help me to get this feature working!

I had the same problem as well, i fixed mine by going to the intel site and downloading the update software. downloading the driver didnt work for me. as soon as i used the update software the bluetooth driver turned on and i was good to gohttps://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/84178/Intel-Wireless-N-7265
