Yoga 2 Pro stuck volume, missing cursor, onscreen keyboard unusable

I'm having several issues with a Yoga 2 Pro laptop running Windows 8.1 that's about a year old.
1) Volume is stuck at 0. I can raise the volume, but it automatically lowers back down to zero, as if the volume-down key is stuck. The volume indicator is always onscreen.
2) Cursor is missing, however I can still right click/left click. Also, the cursor will reappear when I uninstall the Synaptic touchpad drivers.
3) The onscreen touch keyboard is unusable. I can click on the icon and it pops up, but it immediatly goes back down.
4) Side screen charms won't stay on screen (example: pressing the F10 key or project screen the side menu pops in but immediately pops out, similar to the keyboard). Also if I swipe in from the right and try to use anything (devices, settings, etc.) it does not respond
5) Pressing the start key doesn't bring it to the start screen, but holding it down for a few seconds does.
The above problems still exist in safe mode.I'm thinking it's a hardware issue or a bad connection of some kind. I've tried:
1) Removing/reinstalling various drivers (touchpad, audio, graphics)
2) Disabling services (YMC comes up often when looking at trackpad problems, but this hasn't worked for me)
3) Uninstalled/reinstalled programs (Energy Management, Transitions, etc.)
4) Did a complete factory reset at one point, had no effect.
I've had the problem a couple times before, and one thing that DID work was to hold down the power button for ten seconds while the computer was off, then let it reboot. Unfortunately that solution is no longer working. The threads I've linked below have been the closest I've found to a problem like this, but neither of their solutions worked for me.

Any help would be much appreciated! Definitely affecting my usability of this otherwise wonderful machine.

Update in case anyone else comes across a similar problem: I ended up sending my laptop into warranty, and it came back a week later working completely. No idea what the problem, cause, or fix was, although they didn't replace any major parts (battery, cable, cpu, fan, hard drive, keyboard, touch pad, display, memory, motherboard...going off the list they sent back, none of those were replaced), so I'm not sure what to think. Not even a factory reset. I'd love to know what the issue was, in case it comes up again but am happy that my laptop is once again functioning in either case!

  • Onscreen keyboard pops up unexpectedly

    hello!
    the latest months, my yoga laptop has this problem
    the onscreen keyboard keeps getting enable spontaneously, or at least I don't know how
    is there any solution for this?
    I don't know why and how it gets enabled, but it's annoying
    I don't think I click anything to cause it to enable
    thanks!

    Then Firefox needs to ignore the websites request. It is very irritating and until Firefox changes this, I won't be using it.

  • IdeaPad Yoga Windows 8.1 OnScreen keyboard does not stay open

    hi
    I just bought a new ideapad yoga and upgraded from windows 8 to windows 8.1. Unfortunately, I can't open the onscreen keyboard. After it opens, it immediately closes itself. This problem has also been described here, but wasn't solved:

    Is this a known issue? Does this have anything todo with drivers? - What can I do about it?
    Thank you!

    Anyone got some tips? How can I contact the Lenovo support otherwise? 
    I am thinking of selling my Lenovo and buying another (definitely non-Lenovo) device. They always have troubles with their drivers (and have poor support)!! Something like that never happened to my Dell notebooks.
    Thanks.

  • Yoga 2-11 Onscreen Keyboard won't stay up when in tablet mode

    I have seen many topics about the onscreen keyboard not staying on when in tablet mode but most of it from 2013. I am having this problem and I cannot find a solution. I have to go to laptop mode to sign in and then go back to tablet mode. The keyboard pops up but as soon as it does it goes away.  What is the fix? Yoga 2-11 purchased Dec 2014 from Best Buy.

    Thank you for your swift suggestion! I think it has worked I will monitor it for a couple of days

  • TS4628 onscreen keyboard does not work in logic pro x

    onscreen keyboard has stopped working in logic pro x -  latest version.
    There is no indication of midi in or out on control bar when keys pressed.
    also, certain keys do register do not trigger from outboard keyboard instrument.
    when playing back tracks, the relevant keys auto depress on the onscreen keypad.
    audio output is fine on the system.  all keys on piano roll keyboard work fine.
    The onscreen keyboard works fine in garageband
    have reset all midi assignments in prefs.
    have reinstalled the program but the issue remains
    silvejon

    You have either installed a midi controller that is over riding things or you are running an iOS App that is interfering....
    Turn off all iOS devices to test for iOS App
    Delete CS prefs to test for conflicting Midi Controller issues...
    Delete the user preferences
    You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
    In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
    Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
    Press the Go button.
    Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
    If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove ~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
    Restart the computer.

  • Lenovo control for onscreen keyboard MISSING?!

    Hi,
    Like many others, I am trying to find a way to stop the Windows 8 onscreen keybaord from popping up constantly when I don't need it.
    The best solution others have found seems to be to go to "OnScreen Keyboard (Lenovo Transition)"  under Control Panel. HOWEVER, that item is simply not listed in my control panel. Can anyone help? Where has it gone?
    Thank you

    Hi DharamveerSharma,
    Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
    >>Is there any alternative of RibbonGallery available in Word 2007 onwards in Word 2003?<<
    As far as I know,
    RibbonGallery class is provided by .NET Framework 4.5. I and the VSTO for Office 2003 supports .NET framework 2.0, so I am not able to find an alternative for RibbonGallery.
    >>How to create a control in Word 2003 as it is available for Outside Borders of table in formatting toolbar?<<
    Can you achieve the goal manually? If not, I think this may be a restriction of control in Office. We also not able to do it programmatically.
    >>Is it possible to add combos inside combo control?
    I want a Combo for OSKB with 40 combos inside it arranged as it is in Outside Borders control and then each inner combo with 10 controls each.
    I have been able to create new toolbar with simple combos but I want to get above mentioned behavior
    <<
    Did you want to insert controls in Combo box control? Did you mean the content control in Office? If I understood correctly, no, we can't insert control in Combo box content control.
    In addition, since
    the support has ended for Office 2003, to help protect your PC from harmful viruses, spyware, and other malicious software, which can steal your personal information, I suggest that you update the Office to the latest version.
    Hope it is helpful.

  • How do I stop the onscreen keyboard from popping up when I click on a text box?

    I have a yoga 2 pro and the onscreen keyboard is irritating. How do I stop it from popping up every time I touch the screen? I am only touching the screen to get to the spot where I want to type--- I don't want the onscreen keyboard.
    Sometimes it obscures the screen so I can't get to the right spot. Usually it disappears when I start typing, but sometimes I'm not even trying to type-- I'm trying to select something and I can't see it any more because the keyboard has popped up. I close the keyboard to get it out of the way, but it pops up when I try to touch the screen again. So I can never get to the spot I want unless I absolutely hit the exact spot on the first try. It happened even while typing this. I wanted to touch a certain spot in the paragraph, but then the onscreen keyboard popped up and I couldn't see the paragraph any more.
    Thanks,

    Did you turn off any of the Lenovo software?
    I closed a random McAfee process via the task manager in an attempt to stop the notification from popping up every ten minutes telling me to restart. 
    I also deleted a lot of the tiles from the colorful windows screen. I think some of them were Lenovo apps. They all seemed to be for some specific purpose though, that I knew I would not use. I have forgotten what they were. I did not delete many-- only a few that I knew right off that I would never use. Could that have affected something?

  • Problems using Spotify's onscreen keyboard with Samsung smart TV

     Please help! I've been trying to login to my Spotify premium account (adding it to an existing account on the TV) on my Samsung smart TV, but every time I enter my username and then choose "done" to enter my password, the onscreen keyboard no longer works! It opens again like it should, but using the TV remote, I can't actually "touch" or "click" any of the letters/keys to enter my password, so I'm literally just stuck at that screen until I exit the app. Has anyone else dealt with this??? Extremely frustrating, as I feel I'm missing something really basic. Thanks in advance!

    You need some software running on your mac such as elgato's eyeconnect.
    This allows your tv to stream content from the mac.
    There is currently a free 30 day trial of the software.  I have it and it works fairly well although some protected content such as itunes purchased movies do not play although it has no problem streaming movies i have copied onto the mac from dvd's i own.

  • Every time I plug in my headphones into my Macbook Pro, my volume control buttons don't work.

    Every time I plug in my headphones into my Macbook Pro, my volume control buttons don't work. Even after I unplug my headphones they don't work, they get stuck on the level of volume it was at when I plugged in the headphones. I can control the volume if I go to system preferences and do it that way, but that is such a pain. Also, in order to get the buttons to work again I have to completely restart my computer which is also a pain! What should I do, or can do, to fix the problem?

  • Onscreen keyboard - word completion

    maybe i am missing something, but I can't figure out how to use word completion using the onscreen keyboard. the word appears but I don't know how to select it...... maybe I am dumb? i have tried everything. searched the manual and the discussion threads with no luck.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Can't expplain the difference because I have always only used it with both on and it works well for me. I start typing a word and as soon as I see the correct completed word appearing, I tap on it to complete. You should also consider using Swype on the N9. It is very good.

  • New user of Yoga pro 3 : trackpad gestures and win 10

    Dear all,  I just got my Yoga pro 3 and coming from a Mac, I am a bit lost (I use Win 7 at work). One thing that I miss the most is the track pad, although the Yoga's seems to be quite good. However, I thought there would be 2-3 finger gestures, and apart from 2-fingers scroll, which is fine, I haven't found anything. Do I need to install something? The thing I really need is a 2-finger Right click, as in a Mac (I am so used to it!)...the rest I can live without.
    FInally, I was thinking about upgrading to Win 10: do you recommend it? Is it worth it? Also, how to do it? I thought I would get a "Get Windows 10" icon (my wife does in her 4 years old laptop) but I do not.
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks !  Indeed it works but I must press really hard! I was more thinking of something like the 1-finger press but I guess I wil make do with it...

  • Yoga Pro 2 questions

    So I'm really interested in a Yoga Pro 2 (especially with the sale on at BB this week)...however, I have a couple questions about it:
    1)  I already know about the yellow problem - hoping it's resolved soon but its keeping me on the fence about this one vs. a Sony
    2)  The resolution has forced some apps to have extremely small text...from what I read it's mainly in "Desktop" mode.  Can someone confirm this ?  I haven't had much chance to use Windows 8 yet so haven't seen Desktop vs. Start mode compared.  In what instances would Desktop be used ?
    3)  I'm still not sure about the exposed keys - from what I read Lenovo has some sort of case or protective cover for the keys ?  Can someone send me a link ?  How well does it work ?
    Thanks!

    1. can mostly be worked around with the Energy Manager software. Even with that, the yellow is not perfect, but the issue has been massively overblown in my opinion. You'll have to see it for yourself and decide. It's a non-issue for me, personally.
    2. Yeah, they high res does reult in small fonts in some legacy apps. Probably poorly written ones for the most part. But it's a small minority of apps. I haven't run into any major problems, but where this happens, the touch screen is useless with those apps. you really need a mouse. I expect this will become less and less a problem as more high dpi laptops become mainstream and apps take this into account.
    3. The case is here: http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:item.detail?...
    I just received mine this morning. It's decent. Snugly fits the whole machine as a carrying case, or slips more loosely over the keyboard section when you're using it in the non-laptop modes. Haven't had a chance to use it much but it seems like it will be fine. There are cutouts for most of the ports, so things are mainly still accessible with the case on.

  • Macbook pro  stuck on apple

    macbook pro stuck on apple

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
