Yoga Screen foil replaceable?

Hi,
I notived the anti-glare screen foil on my thinkpad yoga and eas wandering if it can be replaced by Lenovo technicians if it should get too scratched up with time?
Scrat

I second your question!
I also want to replace the screen foil/built-in protector of my Thinkpad Yoga. It got scratches, though my machine is only two months old.
If a Lenovo technician can change/replace the foil it would be very helpful.

  • 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!

  • Moving desktop icons with Yoga screen rotation and Windows 8

    I have a Yoga 11s.  I have a bunch of desktop icon shortcuts and folders on my desktop as I rarely use the Windows 8 "tiles."  Unfortunately, when using the Yoga as a tablet, whenever the screen rotates, all my desktop shortcuts and folders move around.  Is there any way to get them to stay in place in Windows 8?  I realize that when one rotates the tablet around that the icons have to move around to accommodate the screen rotation, but when I rotate the screen back to the horizontal position, they don't return to the position they were in.
    Thanks!

    I did get a potential solution over on a Windows 8 forum.  Unfortunately the solution doesn't stop the migration of the icons.  It only restores them to their original position with a few mouse clicks.  I have yet to find a solution that keeps the icons from moving in the first place.
    I downloaded a program called Iconoid. When you first run the program, a little windows pops up.  You click on the positions tab, then put the dot in the selection that says "use relative positions for all resolutions."  You then hit the "save icon positions (relative)" button and now the program remembers where all of your icons are.
    When you rotate the screen and all your icons get messed up, you open Iconoid (in systray for me), go to that same "positions" tab, then hit the "restore icon positions now."  That moves all the icons back to where they were.  You just have to make sure that if you change your icons on your desktop a lot, that you hit that "save icon positions (relative) button once in a while so the program gets updated icon positions.

  • Problem with Thinkpad Yoga screen

    Some days ago I received a new Thinkpad Yoga. My problem is that the screen is not manufactured very well. The left bottom corner is ~ 1 mm standing out of the case. It seems that it is not glued very well. If I press the corner into it it remains there for some time. But after some minutes it rises again. It's not so large but I can lift it with my finger nails.
    After having a phone call with Lenovo support they told me that the dealer is responsible to replace it. My dealer tells me that Lenovo has to handle this.
    What should I do? Nobody feels responsible? Is there a special glue available so that I fix it myself?

    well, I thought they would need to do that. but Lenovo support just told me that they are not responsible to "repair" or replace such flaws. They do this only in the case of defects.
    I'm really angry. I paid EUR 1600 for this pc. EVen more than for different apple notebooks. And I don't think that I would have those troubles with Apple. Lenovo was always a product for business users, I'm very disappointed ...

  • Yoga screen brightness/flickering

    Loving my Yoga 13 so far have had it since Oct 26th when it was released. Like everyone else I had some issues with partitioning yadda yadda yadda, got that taken care of, but lately I've noticed that my screen brightness seems to flicker, ALL the time, when switching from program to program if the color changes on the screen I notice that the brightness changes as well in noticeable increments. I have the automatic brightness setting set to OFF, so I can't imagine that's the reason.
    Anyone else having this issue?
    Solved!

    I turned the 'adjust screen brightness automatically' off in the tablet manual under pc settings->general, done

  • Yoga 2 Pro with external Dell P2414H monitor - Win 8.1 issues

    I have a UK model Yoga 2 Pro (Core i7/256GB/8GB). Generally happy with it but I have one weird issue that is annoying me.
    The system is fully patched including all Windows updates and latest Lenovo BIOS and drivers.
    At work I have a Dell P2414H monitor connected to my Yoga 2 Pro (micro HDMI to HDMI cable into an HDMI to DVI adapter plugged into the monitor's DVI port).
    Windows recognises the Dell monitor in display settings. I can extend my desktop onto it. I can run the Cleartype Tuner and tune the laptop screen and Dell cleartype settings independently. All good so far...
    In Taskbar and Navigation Properties (right click on the taskbar and select Properties) I expect to see a "Multiple Displays" section on the Taskbar tab with a setting that allows me to extend the taskbar across both screens, as per this link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-8/how-connect-multiple-monitors.
    However, whatever I try I never see the "Multiple Displays" settings in Taskbar Properties. I have rebooted with the external screen connected and not connected and tried everything else I can think of but all to no avail.
    Is anyone else seeing a similar issue with an external monitor connected to their Yoga 2 Pro?

    Discovered that if If I make the external monitor my primary screen, not the laptop, then Windows gives me the Multiple Monitor Taskbar settings back. However, I then have screen scaling issues so dialogues and the task bar etc. on the Yoga screen are tiny. Not ideal...

  • Looking for pin out for tx2000 touch screen

    any one have the pinout or know where I can get it for the TX2000 touch screen.  I'm looking to put this into my car as a monitor for my carputer. HP techs can you help me out. Many thanks.

    Hello mricci,
    As long as it is not customer induced damage, the screen is replaceable under your warranty. I do not believe changes in temperature would be considered CID. In other words, as long as you didn't drop it or throw it, it should be replaceable. I would contact the Ideapad Support line and schedule a repair for it.
    Keep in mind for future references that when a computer is exposed to temperatures coler than 32 F, the liquid in the lcd can freeze up when that happens. To warm up the computer, it must be exposed little by little to a warmer temperature to avoid damage to the screen and condensation to it's internal hardware. Hope that helps.

  • Lap top screen was damaged

    If anyone can help to give me an option about my lap top. My lap top still running but can't see the window 95% of it.
    Is the screen can be changeable or fix and is it expensive? The lap top is only a two year old. Thanks for if any one can give me some ideas:)
    PS: not sure the exact model but close to Panther/Mac OS G4 12" gray lap top.

    Hi Mirby,
    The screens are replaceable, but expensive. The screen itself can cost over $300. With installation, over $400.
    The repair is not easy, and not for the faint-hearted. Unless you're very handy and very confident in your ability to do it yourself, I'd suggest you send it in. powerbookresq.com offers pretty good rates, cheaper than Apple's own, I think.
    Or, you could pick up a free or cheap external monitor off craigslist, and just use your pb as a desktop. It all depends on how much you're willing to spend!

  • Anyone have the Yoga 11S on order?

    I bought a Yoga 11S a few days ago on the Lenovo website with the FatWallet discount (10% off + 6% FatWallet cash back + free shipping).  They say it will ship any day now, despite the fact that the website didn't have the model I ordered available for shipping for another 9 days.  I bought the Yoga 13, but it is a bit too big for my needs.  I checked out the Asus Tai Chi at an Abt electronics store, but I didn't like it.  The touchscreen was kind of "sticky" (for lack of a better term) which made for a horrible touch/feel experience when dragging my finger across a screen to scroll, for example.  And for some reason, the oil on one's skin left very visible smudges on the screen.  The Yoga screen wasn't like that at all, plus the touchscreen works in laptop mode and tablet mode unlike the Tai Chi. 
    Anyway, hoping to get the 11S in a few days, sight unseen.  Hopefully it is just like the Yoga 13, but smaller and lighter.   

    Hi,
    I haven't seen one yet or looked at the docs.  The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga11s Hardware Maintenance Manual  might give you something to chew on.
    Please report back once you get your machine.

  • Y70 screen (flashing - blinking)

    I have this exact problem. I understand that the Yoga series has/had similar issues, and a BIOs update was released to address that. Does anyone know if anything would offer a similar fix? 
    Thanks.
    2/12 EDIT: Moved post to front of discussion for escalation purposes. Amy_Lenovo

    So I found a solutions that works for me. I did this just after my last post the other day, and it's worked so far.  I knew that the Lenovo Yoga series had the same problem, so I decided to implement some of the power changes recommended in another thread in this forum to fix those issues, and the blinking has since stopped! These are the solutions that worked for me. Please go to this thread and follow the solutions outlined there: Yoga screen brightness/flickering I'll summarize the solution as mentioned in that thread below:
    1. Set Intel graphics to Max Performance.  Right click on the DesktopSelect Graphics PropertiesClick on PowerIn both the Plugged In and On Battery tabs, select Maximum Performance (I also disabled the setting to extend battery life for gaming on battery).   2. Disable Adaptive Brightness for both Battery and Plugged-In Power Options Right click the Power icon in your System TraySelect Power OptionsClick Change Plan Settings next to whichever power plan you have selectedClick Change Advanced Power SettingsOpen the Display menu from the listOpen Enable Adaptive BrightnessChange the setting to Off for both On Battery and Plugged In options. That's it! There's no real explanation in the thread as to why that works, but I guess the Intel graphics don't play well with the Adaptive Brightness settings.  Good luck to everyone. I hope this works for you, too!

  • Humble Suggestions to Lenovo

    1.) I suggest that Lenovo offer 2 choices of keyboard with the W540: one with a numberpad, one without. On a 15-Inch Laptop, this is a hard call; some people will like each, given the aps they use. Personally, I like the feel of the newer Thinkpad keyboards, but it was too much of a transition to expect seasoned Thinkpad customers to adjust both a change in keyboard type AND layout. Some people will not feel comfortable ergonomically using a latop off-center, while others will.
    2.) I sugest that Lenovo abandon buttonless trackpads for Windows/Linux based computers. Where has a customer written that they like the buttonless trackpads? The hardware buttons need not be large, but they should be real buttons. A click pad will always take more force to operate than a button-because the tactile switch under it can be made softer because it has to hold less weight. Yes, Macs have a clickpad, but remember that the Mac user interface was designed without a contextual click. If you copy a Mac, people will want a real one--instead!
    (On my x220, I have used the click feature less than 10 times, since I have owned it. The upper pointer buttons are easier to use than the than the clickpad.)
    3.) If possible, on battery, it would be better to disable cores than throttle down the clock speed. Certain CAD operations such as trimming and certain processes such as meshing can only be done with a single core. Many programs are lightly multi-threaded, so on battery I would rather have a dual or single at 2.7Ghz, than a Quad at 1 Ghz.
    4.) Audio is part of what I do with my computers; I want a real audio line-input jack.
    5.) There should be an option for a IPS/PLS 1920x1080 screen on the W540. We still don't have perfect GUI graphics scaling. Personally, there is no going back to a TN panel in a portable computer.
    6.) Choosing the M2 over Msata was a bad deal for the customer. We just got 1TB Msata SSDs, and now we can't use them?
    7.) I think it brings more negative PR to keep changing the docking station with every generation. What IT person wants a whole pile of old docking stations in their cublical?
    8.) Not making the new hard drive rails availible to customers will only serve to anger them.
    9.) A status-light widget would have eased customers concern over the lack of LED hardware indicators.
    10.) It's baffling why the W540 cannot be ordered with a reaonably priced 1TB ssd.
    11.) Looking at the W540 page, it's not clear if I could order a W540 with a DVD drive, and a get an drivebay HD case in the box, too.
    Other thoughts....
    A 14 inch laptop is the new 15" laptop. A 15 inch laptop is the new 17 inch.(TM)(C) 2014 BrendaEM.
    The T440p would have been more popular without a DVD drive, and with a little smaller case. Some people need a GPU, for Adobe aps, ect., but rarely need the drive anymore. If we can't get a Blu-Ray, and don't have to worry about HDCP, then a drive can be USB corded. If I could get a T440p with a K2100, I would get it instead of the 15.
    I wish the Yoga was even a bit faster than this 3 year old i5 x220. A 16GB option on the Thinkpad Yoga would have eased my future-proofing fears.
    People don't know how to tell you that they don't want PVC covered cords on their personal electonics. They just know they feel better. My computer bag wants a shorter thick cord, and a longer thin one.
    A Yoga screened W540 could do almost any graphic task, but it would be a nitch computer.
    A battery manager should not take seconds to start.

    Thanks for your suggestion...Is yours above query was creating performance degradation?After increasing the memomry is there any improvements with the same query.
    Is there anyway that the query itself could be
    written in a better fashion?Dont know excatly.
    can you avoid DISTINCT clause?
    Can you turn yours table USER_CUST,CUST_INFO,ENTERPRISE, USER from inline view to main query's FROM clause.

  • Does every single new apple product come with 1-year warranty?

    I got my iPod touch fifth generation around Febuary 5th, and dropped it. It cracked, and I was wondering if all products (regardless of place bought) brought the warranty.
    Also, does apple just replace devices under the warranty? I don't think an iPod screen is replaceable by itself.
    Thanks

    Yes, pretty much they all carry the 1 year warranty. But that warranty does not cover damage that you caused.

  • Intermittent lock screen PIN input on Yoga 13

    About 1/3 of the time when I swipe the lock screen on the Yoga 13 to enter a PIN, I get a large touch screen PIN pad that pops up to touch the digits, which is the desired outcome.  Why is it that the other 2/3 of the time there is no pop up and I must enter the digits from the keyboard rather than being presented with the touch screen input option?

    Any update on this? I think there is a major bug in their software. I find that if you lock your screen and wake while in laptop mode, the virtual pin pad will automatically appear and stay there until you finish typing your pin. If you lock your screen and attempt to wake while in stand, tent, or tablet moden, the virtual pin pad does not automatically appear. In addition, while in these modes, when you press the input prompt to make the virtual pin/keyboard appear, it only appears for brief moment and then disappears-sometimes even while you are still typing. This is definitely a bug. I bought this laptop yesterday and found this issue within 30 minutes of playing with it at home. I submitted a help ticket yesterday regarding this issue. The tech eventually had me restore to factory conditions. After installing all the latest updates, I cam CONFIRM that this issue STILL persists! This is not me accidentally tapping outside of the pin/keyboard and causing it to minimize. This does it all on its own, and the tech was supposedly able to see this issue when he remotely took over my laptop. I have Yoga 2 2-in-1 11 inch.
