Concern about shipping

So, I'm gonna ask for a laptop this Christmas. I have my eyes on a LOQ 15 Gen 9. That's not the important part though, see, I wanna order it before the discount it has goes away, but I'm concerned about one thing.

https://preview.redd.it/7w7b7bpt3h4e1.png?width=317&format=png&auto=webp&s=800c27d2765d3acd4564a125d86ebe6f35be09bd

There's no shipping time for the city I live in, does this mean it won't ever reach my home or...?

Help, please!

Hello everyone, any help would be appreciated here:

Basically, my laptop doesn't start.

It went out of batery and now this white light blinking is the only thing I've got.

I did notice that with my charger it blinks 3 times and stops.

With my wife charger, it keeps blinking the whole time.

In none of the situations, it will turn on, ever.

Tried to press power button for 30sec, 1min, nothing.

Tried to acess the reset hole with a clip, doesn't work either.

Battery is inside, so I can't simple take it out.

Tiny M73 - just turning off completely, need to reinsert power

Hi, not sure if someone has had the same behaviour and knows a fix.

I have 2 x Lenovo Tiny M73 systems. One behaves normally.

The 2nd one, just powers down after a while; I can't turn it back on from the button, and instead need to remove the power plug, reinsert the power plug, and then it turns back on. I've never seen this behaviour before. Not sure it's the power supply, when it's on it works fine...

Does anyone have any idea what this could be, I checked all BIOS settings they both have the same exact settings...

Thank you!

Received laptop with broken keycap for a key, support says not covered

I ordered an ideapad 5 on Thursday, received it Friday. Noticed over the weekend that the F4 key cap is busted and lifts up. Seems the clasp on the bottom right of the key cap is broken.

Submitted a ticket yesterday, and got a reply this morning that it's physical damage and not under warranty.

I received it this way.

I did the escalation route, but I have no record an escalation was initiated.

Where do I see the escalation request, and how long can I expect to wait for an answer.

I'm thinking that I'm just going to return the laptop and save myself the headache of wrestling with support.

Shame, too, because the laptop is actually quite good.

Please help me decide! Yoga Face off!!

I’m looking to get a laptop today as Lenovo is giving 15% off through Rakuten. I’m down to these 3 laptops. I don’t know much about processors. Is the ryzen 7 worth the extra $75? I don’t do much gaming and will mostly use the laptop for streaming, Excel, etc. If the ryzen 7 laptop is not worth it, how does the ryzen 5 compare to the intel 5?

Power button sunk in? (Ideapad Gaming 3 (15iah7))

My friend has a Ideapad Gaming 3 15iah7 and he has been having a problem with his power button for a few weeks, literally just as it left warranty. Today, it has fully sunken in just as his laptop froze and we don't know what to do. We are aware that the emergency power button is soldered to the motherboard but he can't afford to take it to a professional.
Does anyone have any ideas about what to do?

Sound of 2 in 1 with upfiring speakers

Hi everbody. I'm thinking of picking Up a Yoga or IdeaPad from Lenovo but can't find the answer to one concern. On my old Yoga, the speakers are downfiring, so if I flip the keyboard Back I get good sound. But since they are upfiring in the new models I was wondering how the sound is when flipping back the keyboard. Does anybody have any expirience with this? I can't find any mention about that usecase in any review.

How durable are Lenovo laptops? Especially the Yogas?

I just got a Yoga Aura Edition and I love it so far. I kept hearing complaints about the durability of it. I heard that the issue only applies to cheaper ones. Mine is a normal laptop and not a 2 in 1, and it's the top of the line Yoga competing with Macbooks in price. How long should it last? My previous laptop (Legion Y540) is over 5 years old and still going strong so I don't know if the issues are actually rare or not.

If the G, H, Esc keys aren't working on your laptop, it might be FnLock. Press Fn+Esc.

I just wanted to make a post about this because I have spent a very long time clicking on / holding / jamming / trying to crush my G and H keys, and trawling the entire Internet for answers. I hope that SEO has led you here if you have the same problem.

The problem: sometimes G, H, and Esc keys (potentially some others?) will randomly stop working as they should. They'll act like "prefix keys" where you have to press another key at the same time to get them, or they just won't appear at all.

To diagnose: If you're having trouble with these keys, open the Command Prompt (Windows Key + R, then enter "cmd") and try to type them. If they work there, then it isn't a hardware issue, contrary to what the hordes of bots and "independent tech support" say everywhere, and this solution might help you.

The solution: Just press Fn+Esc. Note that this will make it so your Fn bar (the top row of keys that control volume, brightness etc.) will work with a single press rather than requiring the Fn key to be pressed simultaneously.

That worked for me and I hope it works for you too!

Is it okay to buy LENOVO IDEAPAD GAMING 3 15ACH6?

I’m considering the LENOVO IDEAPAD GAMING 3 15ACH6 as a potential laptop for gaming and everyday use. It seems like a solid option, but I have a few concerns about its longevity and durability.

I went through hell and heaven to save up enough money to buy a laptop, and I just want to make the right choice. Will this laptop last for at least the next five years? Thank you.

How can i fix it?

I bought the Xiaomi Pad 2024 TB331FC on AliExpress, but the cameras don't work.

I go to the camera app and the message "camera error 13" appears. I've tried with the Instagram camera and it doesn't give an image.

Is it a bug or is the camera broken?

Is this true about Lenovo warranty?

Hi, I recently purchased a Lenovo Yoga 7 2in1 laptop 6 weeks ago. The battery is reporting a failure and the device now says it is fully charged when plugged in, however as soon as I unplug it, it depletes to 0 and turns off after about 5 seconds.

I spoke with sales about a direct refund and they said they would not be able to offer a refund until their technical team have decided that the product is DOA. For some reason I was under the impression that i could process a full refund at any time during the warranty period if there were internal faults. Am I at the mercy of repairs now?

Thanks in advance.

Why does Lenovo Customer Care ANZ suck?

I've spent at least 10 hours on the phone trying to connect various teams within Customer care ANZ and EU to be able to do their job and to process my refund because they were unable to talk to each other internally.

So I requested a compensation for dealing with all of their BS having to pretty much do their jobs. I was refused anyt of compensation and when demanding explanation and reasoning for this lack of customer care, Stephanie from Lenovo ANZ replied:

Good morning, .........,

Lenovo appreciates you may disagree with the remedy decision and if so, you may escalate externally with the consumer advocacy group of your choice.

 Regards, Stephanie

Best CUSTOMER CARE ever. Thanks Lenovo ANZ for being such a great company.

Lenovo ThinkPad p51

Hi,

A few months ago I installed popOs (Linux) on my Lenovo p51 and deleted windows from it. After that I started to have some problems with my pc:

  • my track pad stopped working

  • after some time my computer seems to freeze, as an example (I have 2 external monitors) if I have two windows of Firefox running, one will keep working and the other will still work but I can't click on it. I can still click the super(windows) key and open a terminal to shutdown.

I have reinstalled windows 10 but the same thing happens there. It feels to me there's some configuration missing or something. But I am not sure how to check or what to check.

If someone could help it would be great.
