Yoga 3 pro. Keyboard won't lock in stand mode. Win10

I noticed recently that keyboard and trackpad will not disable when in stand mode anymore. In tablet mode keyboard is disabled but not the trackpad.This was working before and the issue might be related to win 10, which I updated to. Not sureIs there a setting anywhere to enable keyboard lock? I can't find it anywhere Please help

I installed Lenovo Settings from the Windows App Store, which instructed me to download and install the system interface fundation.  https://download.lenovo.com/enm/sift/core/SystemInterfaceFoundation.exe Not sure if that is related, but that resolved my keyboard issue.

  • Yoga 2 Pro - Keyboard lock not working in stand mode

    Where can I find the Yoga Utilities suite (Yoga Transitions, Chef, etc.). I just isntalled fresh 8.1 Enterprise and turns out the D:\ partition didn't have the Yoga Utilities available, same on the support site (checked Yoga 13 as well). Pretty dumb, but I can't use the stand since the keyboard doesn't lock

  • Yoga 2 Pro: keyboard locking while using a browser

       I have been having a very frustrating problem with my Yoga Pro 2 13. It started with keyboard and mousepad input blocking while using a browser (any browser, I tried them all), while the touch screen still worked. I would have to restart the computer to get them back to work, however, the computer would get stuck restarting (as in restart screen with the circle would circle endlessly). When I started getting BSOD, followed with the failure to boot, I sent the computer for repair. The hard disk, motherboard and keyboard were replaced, windows 8 reinstalled.,, post has to be continued belowAfter 24 hours of use, the problem reocurred (keyboard started blocking, BSOD appeared, it did not boot) and the computer was sent, yet again. This time only hard drive was replaced. I received it yesterday, updated to windows 10, and, as I feared, the same problem persists. The keyboard has blocked several times, I was not able to restart unless I was doing the power button shut off. Touch screen input is never affected during these episodes. I am extremely frustrated with the problem, and with the failure of Lenovo to fix it (even though they believe it was fixed). I can't keep sending it to the depot every 7 days, and not being able to use it in between. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to approach this problem? Thank you

  • Poorly designed Yoga 3 Pro keyboard workaround

    Several users have been griping about the keyboard of the Yoga 3 Pro. Also certain reviewers have lambasted it (e.g. Gizmodo).
    First, the physical side of it is lacking for the typical quality you expect from premium Lenovo laptops (e.g. Thinkpad). The keys do not travel much and it is easy to make mistakes -- I would say my typing errors have increased on the magnitude of 50% versus a X series Thinkpad (pre-chiclet keys).
    Second, and the main point of this post, is that several keys are either missing (e.g. Insert) or relegated to Fn key combinations (F1 through to F12, Home and End). Meanwhile, there is AMPLE room for more keys in this form factor. For example on X series Thinkpads, they had keys right up to the edge of the device, and were able to put in a full 2 rows of Ins/Del Home/End PgUp/PgDn, like on a full-sized keyboard.
    As a result, typing on this keyboard is a real pain both physically, and in software terms since certain OS functions ask you to press keys that don't exist (e.g. Insert on the pre-boot Bitlocker screen -- sorry no Insert key!). Certain common keyboard commands become awkward now because of needing to add in the extra Fn+ combination (e.g. ALT+F4 to close a program, or F5 to refresh a web page).
    But by far one of the most annoying features is co-locating Home with PgUp and End with PgDn, i.e. you need to press Fn+PgUp to get Home. Home/End is a very efficient mechanism in wordprocessing to quickly get to the beginning and end of sentences, beginning and end of cells in Excel when editing formulas, etc. F2 to quickly edit a cell in Excel without clicking the mouse -- now you must use a combination to get to it. If you do frequent word processing, this keyboard will frustrate you as a result.
    Meanwhile, Print Screen gets a full key?!? I could see that key as one becoming a Fn combination, since there is no potential for a user to frequently and repeatedly press Print Screen. I seriously wonder if the person/team that designed this layout tested it at all with users "in the field" who actually TYPE.
    Anyway, there is a workaround of sorts depending on which keys you prefer to have direct access to. You can remap keys using the Windows registry and something called a Scancode Map.
    For example, I myself have noticed that Home/End are more important for me than PgUp/PgDn in terms of quick access, as I do use them extensively for editing documents. So, for example, you can use the registry to remap those keys and switch them around -- that is, Home to PgUp, PgUp to Home, End to PgDn, PgDn to End. So now, when you press the PgUp key, you are actually pressing Home.
    If you don't use Caps Lock or Print Screen for example, you can reassign them to other keys you do (e.g. Insert, or any other key actually).
    The process is described in the link below, and the author has a specific example of remapping the Home/PgUp, End/PgDn keys:
    http://www.thatsgeeky.com/2010/11/keyboard-annoyances/

    I tried that I got some sort of error saying it's not compatible with my system.  I ended up doing a restore, and one by one tracking down which program is needed in order for the system to disable the keyboard and trackpad appropriately.
    It ended up being Lenovo Harmony:
    http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/wwha020e.exe
    It seems you need Harmony if you'd like them to be disabled in stand, tent, and tablet mode.
    Thanks for the help, anyway.

  • Yoga 2 Pro keyboard light

    Hi,
    I have a Yoga 2 Pro for just a few days.
    I noticed that the keyboard light is not workiing properly.
    Sometimes it lights up, sometimes it does not.
    Sometimes I can turn it on and off (fn + left space), sometimes I cannot.
    Once it came on by itself, but when I pressed a key - a letter key - it turned off and I could not light it up again.
    I noticed that when it does not work, if I change mode (from laptop to tent or tablet and back to laptop) most of the times I am able to take it on.
    I am guessing this is a hardware problem.
    Am I right?
    Is there anything I can do to make sure it is a h/w failure before getting it to a service center?
    Thanks
    Costa

    Simultaneously?
    I'll give it a try...thx

  • Yoga 2 Pro - Keyboard Not Working

    My issue is that the keyboard of my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro disables itself intermittently in Laptop Mode. I purchased this laptop (i7 cpu, 256GB SSD, 8GB memory) from BB a week ago and get it replaced twice (3 different units) and all had the same issue.  Case of the first one I purchased was also cracked on the rear side. I powered the laptop to test it before I return it. Then I realized this keyboard issue. I was using it in laptop mode and keyboard backlight was going off by itself. First I thought it was just the backlight but keys were not functioning as well. Touchpad and Touchscreen were still functional. Time to time keyboard came back to life by itself and sometimes I needed to restart couple of times to get it work. 
    Next day I went to another BB store to get it replaced (the one I burchased was the last unit in other store). So I also got the last unit in this other BB store and went to school. After my classes I realised this one had the same keyboard issue. I checked if I had latest BIOS, drivers and software and updated everything. But there was no solution. I called lenovo tech support and the guy on the phone told me that it seems like a hardware issue and suggested me to get it replaced again via BB. I didn't think that it was a hardware issue. It seemed to me like the sensors drivers or firmware were thinking that I put the yoga in tablet mode and was disableing keyboard even in laptop mode. I tried uninstalling yoga software , disabling services such as YMC and intel thermal and power management from bios etc. etc. These things seemed to lower the number of issues but still keyboard was disableing itself time to time.
    I went BB again to get another one. But of course I had to find another store that have the exact same model (and of course they had only one unit). I went and get that one. Guess what? It is same. I tried everythin. Installed my own copy of Windows 8.1 Pro and didn't install any lenovo software etc. Didnt work. I recovered to factory OS still same. I called lenovo tech support again to find some help. Only thing they could recommend me was to send the laptop for repair but I can not simply live without computer (I am computer science PhD. student need it access to a computer all the time). 
    I like the laptop so much and honestly I couldn't find another brand model with very high resolution screen i7 processor at least 8gb memory and 256GB ssd etc at this priice range.  So I want to be able to use it. But every other minute or hour the keyboard disables itself. With the latest unit I got moving the lid (pushing and pulling screen back and forth) seems to help sometimes. Also tilting the laptop some times works.
    Is there anyone else having this kind of issues? And more importantly is there anyone who managed to solve it?
    I do not want to talk to tech support again. If possible I want to get in touch with some people from Lenovo software and drivers team so that I can help them diagnose the issue and test beta software firmware they might have.
    PS: Why no bios/driver update for last couple of months?

    As stupid as it sounds, try folding the laptop fully into tablet mode, then fold it back to regular mode. This has been working for one of my clients.
    NOT a driver issue - definitely a physical issue. Hopefully the folding back/forth continues to work.
    (and since I'm a support resource, this kind of stuff makes me look bad when I recommend it to a client: "Yes, it is possibly the coolest laptop available on the market, but you just have to deal with a few issues like keyboard randomly stopping working and the wireless driver load intermittently not working after waking the laptop up. Other than those two minor issues, it's a great laptop!!"

  • Lenova Yoga 2 Pro Keyboard not working

    I just bought a Lenovo Yoga 2 pro and installed windows 8.1 by itsef. During Windows 8.1 initial setup I was able to use keyboard to type in PC Name, but after that the keyboard and touch pad was not working/no any response any more. After Windows 8.1 lunched the keyboard also no any response. I have to use touch screen soft keyboard. But when laptop in BIOS mode (turn power off and press a small round button next to power button) the keyboard was working fine. So I think that the keyboard hardware is ok, but some thing iwas wrong with Windows 8.1 software issue. I also un-selected all on Easy of Access->Keyboard section in Windows 8.1. Did anyone has same experience and know how to resolve this problem? Thanks a lot!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Sounds like the laptop is thinking you are in tablet mode and the keyboard/touchpad are being disabled. Try moving the screen into tablet mode and back. See if that fixes it. You can also try to run an update on the Lenovo Transition software (it is currently at version 2.0.13.8221). This is done from the About tab of the software (when you run it from the start/search box).

  • Iphone 6 won't lock into landscape mode, keep switching back to portrait mode

    Hi,
    Please help me, this has driven me nut, I can't seem to lock my iphone 6 into landscape mode, it will only lock my screen when I am in portrait mode.
    For example, if I open safari and turn my phone sideway, safari would turn into landscape mode, and if I want to lock my screen to keep it in landscape mode, it won't do it, as soon as I select that screen lock button, it will turn back to portrait mode and lock my screen up into portrait mode.
    What should I do to keep my screen lock at landscape mode??? I have tried this with several apps and the same thing happen, like in Calculator, when I turn it sideway and try to lock it, it goes right back to portrait mode.
    I restored my iPhone 6 from my iPhone 5c so just wonder if it has anything to do with that or just some bugs in iOS8???
    My current display is in Standard and not Zoom display, and I even try to set it as Zoom and then reset it back to Standard to try to see if it works and it still doesn't work.
    HELP ME!!!!

    I Just spent over an hour with support on this issue and apparently in iOS 8 they removed the option for the phones to lock in landscape mode. So, there is nothing wrong with your phone, unfortunately they removed a very useful feature.  Maybe they will see if enough users want it they will fix it in an update.

  • My macbook pro keyboard and trackpad lock up randomly

    In the last day or so, my mac has started locking up the keyboard and trackpad randomly.  It happened to me a couple times yesterday completely at random times.  Once when I was playing a game, and another time when I was just browsing the web.  I had Mavericks 10.9.3 at the time of the first lockup, then updated and the second lockup occurred under 10.9.4.  I have a 15" mid-2012 macbook pro. 

    I have to hard restart the computer by holding down the power button.  Closing the lid like in the issue with the retina mackbooks does nothing. 

  • My macbook pro keyboard won't work or respond at all, other than that everything is working properly.

    I have a macbook pro (i7) 13'', everything was working properly, but out of a sudden the keyboard is dead & won't respond to anything, now I can't login. I restarted it many times but still the same problem. Any suggestions??!!! help me out plssss.
    Thanks so much..

    I just went through something with my MacBook Pro 13" where I was using a USB mouse and a MIDI keyboard. I left the computer for a while and it went into sleep mode and when I came back to it, the machine was very slow to respond. I shut out of everything and rebooted only to find that neither my built-in trackpad or keyboard was working anymore. I plugged in my USB mouse and that worked, and then a USB keyboard and that worked, but no signal from my built-in peripherals.
    I ran a disc repair, cleaned out everything I could, updated all software, etc. etc. -- nothing... until finally I read something about how Java can cause a problem. I then went into my advanced settings and deleted everything in Java and Flash security. Also making it very difficult for those two applications to save anything to my machine. Once I rebooted my keyboard and trackpad were fullly functional again.
    Wanted to share this because it was such an unintuitive fix but my computer is back at full speed again.

  • Macbook pro keyboard won't work

    Everything was working fine, then all of the sudden the keyboard started acting up. If you press certain buttons it just wont let it type. I press certain buttons and the wrong action occurs, for example, i pressed "z" and the volume started turing down. Also, the track pad is acting up, it only right clicks no matter what. Please help, I have restarted it lots of times and sometimes it will work for a little bit then start acting up. It seems like everytime I restart it gets worse. HELP!!

    Hi c,
    Depending on which MBP you have, it could be the keyboard/trackpad cable, so it would be good to know that information. Also, have you tried an external keyboard?

  • Yoga 2 Pro - Videos being sticky in tablet, stand and tent mode.

    Correct me if I'm wrong (and please direct me to a similar thread) but I can't find anything online relating to my paticular problem.
    The issue is that when I use any other mode expect laptop, I simply cannot watch videos as they constantly stop and start and are just overall very sticky. At first I thought it might just be the dvd I was watching, but I've now tested it on several websites like amazon and youtube, different CD's etc.. (even games, where I get fps drops, less of an issue though).
    I was wondering if anyone has experienced a similar problem and knows how I might go about solving this issue.
    Let me know if I need to post any specifics.
    Thanks

    Good day and welcome to the community.

  • Yoga 2 Pro - trackpad does not disable in tablet mode

  • Yoga 2 Pro won't recognize my Seagate external hard drive

    I have a Yoga 2 Pro that won't recognize my Seagate Backup Slim 2TB USB 3.0 external hard drive. 
    I ordered one from Amazon and it didn't recognize immediately when I plugged it in. The disk drive shows up in Devices and in Device manager with the Yellow caution triangle, but it never shows up in drives under my computer or in Disk Management (Where you change partitions, etc.)
    So I ordered a replacement from amazon, I thought it was broken. I had tried it in a different computer and the same thing happened so I assumed it was the drive. On a whim I tried it on the alternate machine again except this time I bypassed the USB hub and plugged it directly into USB 2.0, it worked!
    I installed a Paragon HFS+ software (it's for Mac Only Seagate drives to work with windows, even though this drive is NOT Mac only) and the installation failed, and my computer started messing up. It wouldn't completley power off nor restart. It just hung at the shutting down screen indefinitely. 
    Finally, I let the computer die, turned it back on, plugged in the hard drive and it worked. But I had already ordered the replacement. So I had to return the original and go tthe replacement and now it won't read at all. 
    Since I plugged it in, my computer will NEVER shut down, it will just sleep unless the battery dies, it won't restart either, it'll just hang at the restarting screen. 
    The drive still won't work, and the touchscreen doesn't work sometimes after a reboot. (Because I have to force shut it off everytime I want it off.)
    I went into power settings and turned everything on max power (To help my battery die faster) and even changed the USB power option thing to disabled. I still don't know how I got it to work that ONE time and now I'm stuck. Any help or advice?

    Oh I also had a message that came up when I tried to reconnect it to my comptuer. This is what the message stated:
    The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer.
    and my only options I have are
    Initialize..., Ignore, Eject
    what are my options of getting my data restored? I don't care so much about the drive, I am concern about my 2TB of data on there. Please anyone help me with this!!!!! I am open to suggestions to get my data back.
