Yoga 2 Pro issues: display flashing, no recovery from power saving, blue screens

I believe I've narrowed down a problem with the machine not coming out of sleep mode, and maybe blue screening. There is a new version of virtualbox that I've installed and it is suppose to help.
Issues still present
1) I have found the screen to become corrupted where it flashes on and off. I end up doing a hard reboot to fix the issue temporarily.
2) Sometimes (when virtualbox isn't running), the display goes into powersaving mode and doesn't recover. I had this issue with Linux installed (kubuntu 13.10) as well as with windows 8.1.
3) Rare screen corruption where the display jumps for a split second and then goes back to normal. This is very rare. It may happen 3-4 times a day but I use this system for development so this is scary and unacceptable.
Any input would be appreciated!
How I reinstalled Windows 8.1:
Installed windows 8 from UEFI media (with an old/supported wifi USB), updated, installed 8.1 upgrade, then installed drivers
Drivers installed:
bt, dptf, tp, emw
The default Windows 8.1 drivers included the full intel driver set. I've considered upgrading, but these issues were present before I reinstalled Windows 8.1 w/ UEFI media and I had the full driver set from the lenovo website installed at the time.
Solved!

I spoke with support for quite a while today.
It is not sleep mode that is causing the machine to become unresponsive. If you disable "turn the display off after", then it will go to sleep like normal. If you have "turn the display off" enabled, it crashes and neither goes to sleep, nor allows the display to turn back on.
If I close the lid it goes to sleep, and opening the lid wakes the machine up again.
I installed the chipset driver from the support website, rebooted, and reenabled screen blanking in power settings.
I have been unable to get the machine not to wake after screen blanking and sleeping. I set it to 1m blank and 2m sleep and it goes blank and recovers if I hit a key. If you let it go 2m, it sleeps and recovers as intended. I'm very releaved as I did NOT want to return this.
The power management issue seems to be resolved by reinstalling the chipset driver from the website.
I'm going to see if I still have the display flashing issues anymore. Perhaps it is solved as well!!
Thanks Lenovo!
EDIT: I spoke too soon!! It just did it again.

I have a Macbook pro Retina display, I have a small nick in my screen that is annoying especially when watching videos. What is my best option for fixing it?/does apple care apply?

Did you cause the nick? Or did it just appear one day? There are reports of the retina screen having exploding pixels which leaves a hole in the screen that can be felt when you rub your finger across it. If that is what happened then it should be covered under the warranty. If you caused the nick then it is not covered and the fix will be very expensive, somewhere in the $1000 range.

Blue screen of death, and continous reboot. Phone never actually boots up, just keeps going from reboot to blue screen and back again. Any suggestion?

Hello jared1915
If you are stuck in that loop, the next step would be to restore your iPhone. Check out the article below to get your iPhone into recovery-mode and restore it in iTunes.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Waking up from sleep with blue screen

Waking up from sleep with blue screen
Since a few days my MBP wakes up from sleep by showing a blue screen for 30 seconds or more, instead of jumping to the login window (password needed after sleep)
I looked in the forums for blue screen but found many problems non related to this.
Any ideas?
Could it have to do with the fact that about 4 days ago I upgraded to 4.8 from 4.7?

Hi ChangeAgent,
FINDER> FILE > FIND
Use the FIND file from the Finder, not Spotlight, to find the folder called Receipts and click on this folder. Scroll down to see if you have this Security Update installed --
Security Update: 2006-008
it may be causing general problems to everyone.
I have only seen this BLUE SCREEN since I installed this security update.
It's the very latest one.
The Blue Screen is not my only problem:
I have had two system crashes (computer waking up with DARWIN window error, fixed when I re-booted).
Scrolling has slowed down in some applications.
The update in Microsoft Office vX was reverted, yesterday I received a message that said: Welcome to Microsoft Office (how can it welcome me when I have been using it every day for the past 15 years?)
Dashboard: It takes 3 minutes for the Widgets to upload.
SOMETHING is not right with this Security Update. Apple, please HELP!

Yoga Pro 2 - Display not recognized in windows (Driver or Hardware issue?)

Out of warranty by a month!
Yoga Pro 2 - 256gb, installed new wireless card a month ago. Windows 8.1
The touchscreen still works while the screen is black.
System restarted after sleep mode I think.
The Lenovo logo is displayed, seems to load windows, but when windows loads (I don't see it load so this is an assumption) the screen blanks and the black light is on.
I can connect an external monintor which will connect after a return from sleep mode(odd). Which then turns the backlight off.
When on the external monitor the internal display is not even recognized by windows.
When I boot in safe mode, the internal screen works fine with of course limited capability.
I have reloaded display drivers from the support site.
Right now my internal monitor is not recognized by windows and is dark, and I can use an external monitor.
Anyone have any clues as to what my be going on? Hardware, driver etc???
What information can I provide?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is a pretty weird issue with conflicting observations.
1) Screen works in Safe Mode but not in regular boot. (So, not hardware issue)
2) Display works on external monitor in regular mode. (So, not drivers issue)
Did you install the wireless card yourself? Did you unplug the display cable while installing the card?
Could you re-open and check that all connections are good?
Is the Wi-Fi card working well?
I would also recommend a complete reset of the laptop to eliminate the possibility that this is a corrupt driver. You can use the NOVO button to reset your laptop. Make sure to make a backup on external drive for your personal files.

W520 Docking issue - attached monitor won't enter power saving mod

When my W520 (Win2008R2) power management profile shuts the display off (after 10 mins, for example), the externally DVI connected screen no longer receives a signal, but the screen doesn’t go into power saving mode. Instead, the monitor stays powered on (the green power light normally turns yellow), and displays the message “Cannot display this mode”. It’s a Dell monitor, and this message appears to be a Dell message, nothing from the Lenovo or Windows.
It’s a new W520, and a new docking station – the ThinkPad Mini Dock Series 3 170W. The previous W510 and previous docking station ThinkPad Mini Dock Series 3 135W both worked fine with this monitor, and were able properly stop sending it a signal.
So…where do I start troubleshooting? Is this a Lenovo docking station issue? Are others having this problem?

hey DougWelsby,
welcome to the forums and for this is hard to say if it is the docking station or is it something else.
is it possible for you to test a different monitor with the docking station or to have test the current monitor of yours directly with the W520 ?
If you can, do reply back with your findings.
At the same time, do hop over to http://support.lenovo.com and crosscheck the download list and ensure all drivers (including bios) is up to date.

Macbook Pro 10.6.8 won't shut down. Blue screen with spinning wheel.

it's an 15 inch macbook pro. since I bought this computer was working fine about last year. Somehow, start of this year, the problem begins. Everytime when i opened microsoft word 2011 on mac or Photoshop cs5, and quit the software as normaly. When i try to shut down the blue screen with spinning wheel apears. this spining wheel is endless. But funny thing is that after use other software such as games, web browser (safari) etc. and quit them. when i shut down there was not a problem. only word 2011 for mac and adobe photoshop cs5. Any solutions?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Step 1
Select "system.log" from the file list. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged during the time something abnormal was happening. That time might be before or after the boot.
For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. If the problem is a system crash or freeze, post the messages from before the boot time, when the system was about to crash or was failing to shut down. In either case, please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning or the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
If the log doesn't go back far enough in time, scroll down in the Console file list to /private/var/log/system.log.0.bz2. Search that archived log, and if necessary the older ones below it, for the same information.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Do the same with kernel.log.
Step 3
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Solaris 10 05/08 upgrade from 06/06 = blue screen

Hi Guys,
I did a fresh installation of Solaris 10 06/06 (x86) on a HP ML570 G3 box. Everything worked 100% except that I had to add the Compaq Smart Array 3200 driver during setup. I then downloaded the 05/08 x86 patches and started the patching in Single User Mode. After a few patches it asked for a reboot and I did an INIT 6 and then INIT 1 and started the patching process again. After quite a while at about 230+ of 433 patches it gave an error and I did an INIT 6. Now it stops at a blue screen thats all garbled(Language Options) with and option of F2 for Continue and F6 for Help. When I press F2 the options changes and the nothing further happens.
Any ideas on how to correct this?
Regards
J

The minimum supported version for a 5120 is Solaris 10 8/07.
And they wouldnt say that without a good reason.
Its pretty silly of a software vendor to specify a particular version of Solaris 10.
Unless they mean that version or later.
I mean suppose its certifed for Solaris 10 8/06 and you start with that.
Then you run smpatch and apply all available patches.
What you end up with is virtually indistinguishable from Solaris 10 5/08 anyway.
So unless, they certify a specific version and also specify the set of patches you are allowed to apply.
Then the restriction is virtually meaningless.
Personally I suggest you just go with Solaris 5/08 and be done with it.
As far as I know, theres no way for you to use the "earlier" version without buying new hardware.
The closest you could come is to run it on a solaris 9 zone.

M93p BIOS issue: PowerOff not correct if Enhanced Power Saving Mode Disabled and Wake on Lan Enabled

Hi Levnovo support team, Recently I bought a M93p tiny(10AAA05MTW)(BIOS revision FBKT56A)and installed with Ubuntu 13.10 myself.Then tried to enable wake on lan for my tiny. The followings are my test result. 1. Enhanced Power Saving Mode Enabled, no mateter what is Wake On Lan setting PowerOff system is OK. 2. Enhanced Power Saving Mode Disable and Wake On Lan Disabled PowerOff system is OK. 3. Enhanced Power Saving Mode Disabled and Wake On Lan Primary or Automatic PowerOff system is NG. When I tried to power off system, it always can poweroff(LEDs on front all off) then POWER ON again in 2 or 3 seconds. I cannot accept this test result ,system should poweroff not reboot again. It's really hard to understand why enabling Wake on Lan will affect power off function. I tried the same procedures with my another M92p(3212A16)(BIOS revision 9SKT70AUS), and it works well.

Did you ever get a fix for this?Having the same issue on 3 of 6 machines that just arrived.

My MacBook Pro 17" display has been corrupted, image doesn't fit screen?

Why has the image on my screen become larger than the screen size?

By accident you much have slightly zoomed the screen.
Head to your Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accessibility or Universal Access and adjust.

Well, I was updating my iPod Touch and it went flat while updating. Now every time I go to turn it on it says it's flat, so I charge it and when its turning on it does the apple symbol but then it flashes and goes straight to a blue screen. What can I do?

Thats what happens to it. How you fix it?
P.s: don't mind my screen.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

It also looks like your screen is badly cracked. Whatever caused that may have lead to the current problem.

Hello i have a slight issue with my iPhone 4s... Blue screen?

I purchased my iphone 4s in November of 2012. Yesterday my phone was on the coffee table and I pressed the lock button and it is all blue with black lines. I can still use siri and hear it but i can't see anything. If i take a screen shot on my lock screen and plug my iphone into my macbook it shows up perfectly fine? It rings and vibrates and charges and everything works fine, I just cant see anything. I do not have a insurance and my upgrade is in November, I am NOT looking to get an android phone, because that is what some of my friends told me is the best option.I really just want to know what the problem is and how I can fix it. I would appreciate it if someone could respond very soon. Thank you.

That's a hardware failure. Make an appointmet at the genius bar of your local Apple Store. An out of warranty replacement will cost you $199.
