Hi, I've tried three different pens for my IdeaPad Flex 5. Each of them worked well for the first two weeks after purchasing, but then started having issues. They often stop writing in the middle of taking notes, and sometimes they don’t respond for a few minutes. It's really frustrating during lectures!

The three pens I’ve tried so far are: Lenovo Active Pen 2, Lenovo Active Pen 3, and HP Active Pen G1. All of them should be compatible with the IdeaPad Flex 5 14ITL05.

Could the screen have a factory defect? Has anyone else experienced the same problem?

It seems like Lenovo recently settled it’s lawsuit that affected the WWAN Modules in their Notebooks and Smartphones.

Well… Fuck…

I bought my Yoga 7i 2-in-1 Gen 9 (16" Intel) last week…

Can I install a WWAN Module without losing the warranty?

I recently got the lenovo yoga book 9i which has dual screen, and wondering if I can extend my pc to it so that my PC can see 2 screens? Any idea if this can work? I tried the wireless connection option but I was able to extend for 1 screen only not 2

My daughters Ideapad 3 keeps doing this. Sometimes it will work for hours, sometimes only minutes. Is this a hardware problem and is it repairable?

Issue in title. I'm aware of the overheating issue with the i9-13900HX processor. I'm hoping someone else has found a solution specifically for the 16IRX8H because so far I'm coming up empty handed.

I've taken all of the updated drivers available on the Lenovo website, talked to Lenovo support directly (no help), and tried mucking around in BIOS to manually set the processor parameters to recommended per this reddit post. Yes, I've cleaned the fans and yes the laptop has plenty of fresh air to circulate (vertical laptop stand, all air all the time).

While running Fortnite, and so far only Fortnite, the client will crash after 30-60 minutes. When I look at HWiNFO, I'm blessed with around 102C CPU temps and more red numbers down the line. I have good reason to believe this problem is related to the topic I linked above. Unfortunately, I don't see any options to manually set those overrides...

Cheers and thank you!

My lenovo ideapad is not charging nor turning on I already tried holding down the power button, plugging unplugging the charger but nothing is working

I am not sure if it’s because I wasn’t able to properly turn it off last night but now this is happening :((

This morning onr of my friend brought her laptop to me and asked me why her camera wont work and it seems that her camera isnt installed yet and when i tried to install in drver settings it wont work and i tried to go to the lenovo support but i dont know whats the series for ideapad 3i slim 14iau7 does anyone know whats the name of the series?

I just bought a Lenovo Flex 5 a few days ago, and while setup was fine, it does not recognize it when I try to plug in a USB-C mouse. Nothing happens. No little message saying it's detected a new device, nothing. It just...sits there. The mouse does not respond. I have a new mouse on the way in case it's that, but if it's not, what can I try? I tried both ports. Zip. Is this a Windows 11 setting I need to fiddle with, like USB suspend, or is this Windows 11 S BS?

Also, sometimes when typing, I hit a key combo that turns off my touchpad, and I have to turn it back on in Settings. I'm thinking it's FN+ something, but I can't tell what. Any ideas? I've tried FN+F7, FN+F8, FN+F9, FN+del. Nothing.

Hi, I need help with buying a laptop. My budget is currently £400-500 but am willing to save for a few more months to get a better model priced around £900-£1200 if needed.

I am an Art student at University and am hoping to purchase a laptop which will get me through the next 4 years and hopefully into my career! The laptop will need to be able to easily run adobe software such as Photoshop.

I also need it to be able to handle multiple tabs of google open at once and be fast, my current laptop is a ‘Lenovo Ideapad 510-15ISK’ and can struggle with this and takes ages to start up, which is very frustrating.

In my spare time I enjoy playing the Sims 4 which had recommended specs of at least

OS: 64 Bit Windows 10 PROCESSOR: Intel core i5 (4 cores), AMD Ryzen 5 or better VIDEO CARD: 1 GB of Video RAM, NVIDIA GTX 650, AMD Radeon HD 7750, or better MEMORY: 8 GB RAM HARD DRIVE: 50 GB of free space, with at least 1 GB additional space f

I'm doing a gaming rig conversion on this P520 and have everything riped out except the front io and support it sits against/locks into. I'd love to make a custom panel to fill the drive bayslots and put a 120mm fan there. So has anyone made or come across a solution for relocated power button?

so I got my P11 a few weeks ago and of I want to pull down the quick settings from the top right corner 50-80% of the time I just get the notification menu.
I just can't reproduce where or in which angle to swipe down to get it right.
if I didn't have the absolute awesome gesture control app set up to get to the menu, I would have become desperate.

it can't be an 'individual' hardware defect, since at first I had a 4GB model which turned out to weak for me needs so I returned it to get a 6GB model. it was the same with that device.

also the 3 little dots on the top of the screen for split screen are all didn't work at all (neither by finger tap nor by stylus) until the update I got yesterday.

I use Nova Launcher but it's the same with the regular launcher.

my S.O. just got a Xiaomi tablet - he just has to swipe down somewhere right of the center to get to the quick settings.

am I missing something, or...?

Laptop wont connect to samsung monitor.

Had a few updates required on laptop once updated now cant connect to monitor through hdmi cord. Monitor screen will just go black.

*********Update: tried to boot it up again an hour after this post and it started without a charger. Working fine for now. Started at 30% and it's working its way down.

Still a faulty battery?

When I plug it in and start it up, it stays stuck at 30% (Plugged in and charging). Even after 1 hour of charging, it doesn't budge.

If I remove the charger, it shuts down immediately. Some may say it is a faulty battery, but I changed it a few months ago and everything was working fine this morning (I used it for 3 hours without a charger). However, my laptop was lagging and I started a PC clean-up guide I found online, which included:

• Uninstalling unnecessary apps; I removed opera and some other non-essentials

• Disabled every startup program through task manager

• Used the Windows disk clean up tool

My friend bought over his lenovo ideapad 5 slim for me to re-install windows so i took all the right steps to doing it and it was on the installing loading bar when it powered off without any warnings or anything and now when i try to power it on using a phone’s charging cable Type-C to be exact next to the charger it blinks orange three times I’m not sure what to do did i mess something up while installing new windows or is there something else at play?

recently ive bought Lenovo V15 G3 IAP (1215u, IPS one)and it has type-c with PD 3.0 support.

Battery (38Wh) in this thing not that much great lasts about 3 hours with max brightness and without tweaking on WebSurfing via wifi.

So i wanna increase it just little like extra 1-2 hour so it might meet my requirements.

ive heard that if powerbank delivers enough energy to just barely onscreen (typicly 15W at max) then it will not use battery or just uses little to accommodate increased consumption

20W should be enough, ive monitored overall consumption its tops at 15W (can boost up to 40W briefly with turboboost but i will disable it). if it works.

my quession is does it work? is there anyone tried it? any experiences?

Currently lookin for "Baseus Power bank 10000mAh 20W PPDML-L01"

any suggestion would be appreciated

Hey there,

I am searching for a person who can make a mod BIOS for the Ideapad Pro 5 16APH8 since it seems like the people at Lenovo are just too dumb for that task.

I am waiting for a new BIOS since December 2023 (when the Windows 11 24H2 canary build came out) because you can install any 24H2 build (even the RTM version) on it when AMD-V / virtualization is activated in the UEFI.

Aside from that is the NPU of the CPU still not activated, which is even weirder if you know that the smaller model of this laptop (the 14APH8) has it activated since a specific update...

I currently bought a Lenovo LOQ 15 with the Ryzen 7. i took it to warranty repair after finding out the batter wasn't lasting not even an hour. i got it back today and its still not even lasting 2 hours. I deleted background running apps and i left the brightness down. anything else i could do? this is pretty annoying

Well, it would seem that I'm either doing something wrong or my laptop is defective. I received my computer yesterday. I ran all the windows updates. I. turned off Bitlocker. I. uninstalled mcafee antivirus. and I set up my Microsoft account and installed a few applications.

Everything seemed to be working fine with my computer except for some reason when I went to use the function keyboard backlight. with the combination function in space bar press while it would enable the backlight, it would not show the animation on the screen that it had changed from 1 to another. It. had been doing that before. I thought perhaps this was a software glitch so I chose to click the software power button and choose to restart the computer.

Well, the computer shut down as expected, but did not turn back on. The power button on the right has a white light on it. I know the computer was at close to 90% charge at the time that this happened. I tried doing some research online for ways of forcing a restart. I used. combination button presses and holds of the power button to avail.. I tried. using the hole on the bottom of the laptop with. a paper clip to force a reset and reboot and that did not work. I tried putting the laptop on power or on battery with all of these combinations. none. of them would power on the unit.

The only behavior that would occur with some of these would be that occasionally the power button light on the right would either turn on or off or blink once, and that where the windows hello camera is once in a while would randomly flash a faint greenish yellow light..

I ran out of things to try, so I contacted technical support at Lenovo who unfortunately weren't much more helpful as they. just confirmed with me that I had tried the. different troubleshooting steps to no avail and said that there must be a hardware problem at recommended either I return or send it in for repair.

Given that the laptop is under 24 hours old, I will not get it repaired. I spoke to customer service, and they are going to look into how fast they could turn around a replacement unit for me However, my confidence is rather shaken.. Not sure if I should just stick with the. Samsung Galaxy book for edge, which has less ram less storage. less bright display. And the unfortunate Canadian multilingual keyboard, which I do not like, but at least it has worked fine in my testing and has. a nice antireflective coating on the glass..

Has anybody else had an issue with their Lenovo not powering on? And if so, are there any troubleshooting tricks or tips that somebody could suggest? I try that maybe the. Lenovo people and my own research did not identify?

I am close to the return window for the Samsung and I am scheduled to travel in the next two weeks and would like to have one of these small and light laptops with me on my travels if possible.

Hi,

My G34W-10 monitor today suddenly stopped turning on (turns on for a second and immediately shuts down). Is it dead?

I have tried every outlet in the home and it experiences the same issue. I have tried different power adapter plugs as well. I'm guessing internally there is a short circuit somewhere in the motherboard and my only option is probably to pay for that to be fixed?

I am experiencing exactly same problems as this user - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QuuF8IDv9M

Best buy has an open box 9i for only 380$ at "good" quality or 245$ at "fair" quality. Should I jump on it?. My other option is the IdeaPad 5 with the ryzen 7 option at 650$. Best buy also has a few other open box discounts that I'm willing to check out.

hello everyone, i have a problem with my ideapad gaming 3( ryzen 5 5600h & rtx3050 4gb). i can't change screen brightness. i can change brightness value but there is no change on screen.

Title pretty much says it all. Model: Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 14" 2.2K Touch Laptop Ryzen 5 5600U 16GB 512GB 82L700BPUS

Fan makes normal, reasonable amount of fan noise once it's running, but it makes a noticeable thunk noise when the fan starts or stops.

Anything I can do about this? It seems like it needs to moderate the speed when starting and stopping so it's not so abrupt.

I bought a new Legion to get my gaming on, and I figured I'd leave the Yoga's charger at the office instead of carting it back and forth constantly, since the Legion's would have more than enough capacity. Instead I find out that while it will charge, and quite quickly, while the Yoga is powered off, it acts as if no charger is connected at all while it's on! Charger light goes off as soon as the system is turned on, and everything runs in battery mode, then it starts charging again as soon as it's turned off.

Any ideas? This doesn't make much sense to me, it's the first time I've ever seen a higher-powered charger not charge a lower-powered system. My assumption is that they're using some kind of BS "genuine equipment" detection in the BIOS, and doesn't trust the much newer charger, but I have no idea how I'd get around that.

Hi!

I have the Lenovo ideapad flex 5, and it comes with 1 HDMI, 1 USB-C (for the power plug) and 2 USB-A (that appear to be early generations)

I recently bought that extended monitor attachment from Amazon that puts an extra screen on each side. I played around with the cables it came with, and quickly determined that I can only get 1 extension because of the 1 HDMI port. I bought a splitter thinking it would help, but instead (and yes, I should have checked this) it just duplicates both screens.

I googled it more and there was the mention of a "docking station." But which one would achieve what I'm going for, and be relatively inexpensive? I know I can return many of the Amazon products, but I also don't want to rely on that. I'd like to buy what's needed ASAP.

So, in short, a docking station seems like the solution, but what's a good one that will take my 1 HDMI port and give me 2 extended displays?

Thanks!

Hi!

I currently have a Lenovo Yoga c740, and when it’s functioning as it should, it’s a fantastic machine for both work and personal projects. But, ever since it hit the 18-month mark, I've been dealing with serious battery problems (the battery continually drains). To date, my laptop has had four battery replacements—and each time, Lenovo support has chalked it up to a “faulty battery.” At this point, I’m starting to wonder just how unlucky one person has to be to get four faulty batteries in a row! Haha!

I’ve used Lenovo laptops for over a decade in my previous role as a Test Professional, and I’ve always trusted their reliability. My previous Lenovo Yoga lasted for 10 years and only ever needed one battery replacement. I’ve tried to explain my concerns to Lenovo support, as it feels like the battery issues might be a symptom rather than the real cause, but it seems I’m not being taken seriously. Being a female in IT, I'm used to my insights sometimes being overlooked, but this one has been particularly frustrating.

Thankfully, the retailer I bought my laptop from has kindly offered me credit toward a new device. But now, I’m in two minds. I love the hybrid functionality of the Yoga series and appreciate the pen for creative tasks. I also need a device that can handle certain software (music theory software, Python, VMware, SOAPUI, Postman), as I like to keep my non-functional testing skills up-to-date, even though I'm not currently working in the field.

So, to other Lenovo Yoga users out there, I’d love to hear about your experiences! Have you faced similar battery issues, or have your Yoga devices held up well? And if you were in my shoes, would you stick with Lenovo or consider a switch? Any reassurances or recommendations would be fantastic!

Thanks in advance for the advice!
