Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X1 Carbon - Adaptive Keyboard And Hi DPI Screen

Mar 17, 2014

How well the X1 Carbon keyboard and screen have been for using it for software development.
 
I use Visual Studio and Remote Desktop quite a bit and have some concerns regarding the screen and keyboard.   I don't want to get a Hi DPI screen and have to workaround the limitations of the OS.   Are there issues with the RDP client and the Hi DPI screen?
 
How has the keyboard been for someone who uses the function keys 10% of the time?  I usually rely on memory to know where to press the F3, F5 keys.  I'm concerned it will be hard to find the right location without physical keys.

Lenovo X1 Series ThinkPad :: Carbon Adaptive Keyboard

Jan 27, 2012

Just got my new x1 carbon, and I like it alot, trackpad isn't as bad as everyone is complaining about. However one big issue is that I want to keep the Function row on by default, and only switch to the default one with volume controls if I press the FN button to do so. Right now no matter even if I chose not to show the default keys, with volume and cloud and all that, it still comes back anytime I switch to a different app.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: New X1 Carbon Adaptive Keyboard Strip Not Switching

Mar 28, 2014

I have a X1 Carbon Touch (Machine Type 20A7).

It came with Windows 8.1 Pro but I flahsed my company image (Windows 7 x64 Enterprise) onto it.

Everything works fine and I installed all drivers but the adaptive keyboard strip stays at F1 F2 .. keys and does not change no matter what. Pressing the Fn key does not switch it. I installed the On screen display and have the Adaptive Keyboard show in Control Panel and Dynamic Mode is also on. 
 
The camera icon only flashes the screen once and does nothing. The Wifi icon does nothing and the Gear icon does nothing as well. Only the keyboard light icon and the regular F1 F2 keys work fine..
 
While starting up or before logging into Windows (at Windows lock screen) I'm able to switch the adaptive keyboard strip... But once I'm logged into Windows it suddenly stops working. if I lock the screen again I'm able to switch the adaptive keyboard strips again...  What's going on?

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: Carbon X1 Adaptive Keyboard - Default Settings

Apr 5, 2014

Where would one look in the registry to change the default adaptive keyboard setting?
 
What I am trying to achieve is the following:
- Enable F keys as default setting
- Disable application switching of toolbar
 
We will need to do this on a large number of laptops, and it's not really viable to do it via the application (as it will be time consuming). I hope to deploy the settings as a batch file which imports a registry entry.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X1 Carbon Adaptive Keyboard Settings Window Won't Open

Aug 22, 2014

I dont know why this is happening but I have tried everything - installed the power management driver, the solutions center but since I received this laptop, the settings window for apaptive keyboard never opens. Ive tried it through the control panel and also the keyboard strip but nothing works. I have updated the laptop to latest config but that also dint work. Without the settings window, i cant disable the dynamic feature which creates so many issues with unnecessary key presses.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: Adaptive Keyboard Settings Does Not Launch

Oct 10, 2014

I was able to launch the adaptive keyboard settings by pressing the 'wheel' button on the bar.
 
I updated the newest version of the keyboard settings (Hotkey Features Integration for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) - ThinkPad).
 
After installation. I could not use the functionality to switch through the different functions. I learned on this forum it had to do with the power management software. So I downloaded this.

De-installed the adaptive keyboard settings. Installed it again with latest version.

Now it works again, but now I can not launch the settings anymore. Not via the wheel button on the adaptive keyboard (most right button with the F1, F1 functions). Also not able to launch it directly from the control panel. Link is there, but there is no reaction.

So now I am not able to customize the settings anymore.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X1 - Adaptive Keyboard Cloud Settings With OneDrive

Feb 25, 2014

In the process of setting up my new X1, when I try to configure the cloud settings for adaptive keyboard, it states that there are no supported cloud applications installed.
 
I have the new OneDrive app installed. How to get this setup working? I'm thinking that with the name change from skydrive to onedrive that the settings are confused.
 
I'm running factory installed Win7-64.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X1 Carbon Touch Backlit Keyboard Not Working

Jun 24, 2013

For some reason, I cannot get the backlit keyboard to work on my new X1 Carbon Touch.  It lights up upon powering up and then will not turn on no matter how many times I hit the space bar.  I don't see an option to enable/disable anywhere either.  Am I missing a driver?

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X1 Carbon Stuck On Splash Screen

Oct 27, 2014

I bought a new X1 Carbon (20A7) a week ago and from time to time the laptop gets stuck on the ThinkPad splash screen when booting. I have to hold the power button to turn it off and then it boots fine. My brother has this problem with T540p, although this happens to him a LOT more often (also, if he waits patiently for 10-20 minutes, the system boots eventually, I havent tried that on my X1).

It doesn't matter if the AC is connected, whether there is something connected to USB ports, whether it was a restart or just normal boot, there is no pattern that I can see, this seems random. We tried updating the BIOS to the newest version, our USB ports are not bent or anything, the SSD with the OS is set as the first boot device. This still happens. I see there are more people with thinkpads who have the similar problem, but their solutions do not apply (if there were any).

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: 2014 - X1 Carbon Flickering Screen

May 25, 2014

Just received my new X1 model#  20a70037-US last week and right out of the box the screen was already flickering. When the laptop is booting up in the POST screen you see a bunch of little white dots all over and as soon as you get to the windows login screen the flickering begins. Just like on this video I found online [URL] ....
 
I uninstalled the Intel drivers and now it's flickers less and the laptop is somewhat usable. I should be receiving my replacement unit this week, can't wait to have this laptop working 100%.

Lenovo X1 Carbon X Series ThinkPad :: Brand New Touch Blue Screen After Sleep?

May 3, 2013

I just got my new carbon touch thinkpad today, and I couldn't be happier, until I closed the lid and reopened it a couple of minutes later. The screen froze for a while and then I got a BSOD with the notice CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED. I hoped it would be just some coincidence, and updating my drivers and installing windows updates would solve it. So I did, and closed the lid again. After reopening it, I got the same error. So I figured I could just as well restore to my factory settings. Without luck. After updating everything for a second time, still no luck. I check the disk and did a memory check, but everything seems fine. The lenovo Solution center isn't reporting any issues either. I looked into the minidump created by the blue screen, and it seemed the process failing is called csrss.exe.

Lenovo X1 Series ThinkPad :: Carbon Will Not Charge

Aug 27, 2013

My X1 is about 18 months old. It was fine until today. The battery was low, so I plugged it in. The little blue light where the power connects illuminated, however the battery indicater in Windows did not change to show "charging", and the battery continued to drain.
 
Over the next hour or so I tried many things like shutting down, waiting, new A/C outlet, new power settings, etc. Tried the little reset hole on the bottom of the laptop. Nothing mattered... the little blue light is on, but the battery just drains.
 
Eventually, the battery drained and the X1 shut down. When I try to boot, I get a pre-boot message about a critical low power error, even plugged in, so my laptop is now a brick.This is a 3448-34U Thinkpad Carbon X1.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X1 Carbon Memory Cannot Be Recognized

Nov 9, 2014

I have newly bought a x1 carbon with 8g memory and i7 4660u, system win7 4 bites, the model is 20A7 CTO1WW, I didn't choose the high resolution screen because I think it is not neccessary.

But the usable momery is only 3.08gb, i am very confused and don't know what is the problem. Is it because the mainboard doesn't support 8g memory?

Here is the picture of system information.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: Light Not Working On X1 Carbon LCD

Apr 3, 2014

I currently have an issue with my original X1 Carbon (2012, 3443-CTU) light not working on the LCD.  I attached an external monitor to the laptop and it works without issues so it's not the motherboard. Under the right lighting conditions and angle, i can see very very faintly my desktop background. 

This leads me to believe that the screen inverter is damaged, or the lcd. Since my ultrabook isn't under warranty, i believe the best course of action is to find the screen on ebay and replace it. [URL] ....

Is replacing the LCD as easy as it sounds? It looks like i need to remove much of the parts underneath the keyboard panel, and remove the LCD bezel and replace the screen. Is there something i'm missing?

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: Use 65W Yoga Charger For X1 Carbon?

Feb 11, 2015

[URL]
 
The label on the charger says:
 
MODEL 45N0261
FRU P/N 45N0262
Lenovo P/N 36200253  
 
It was advertised as X1 charger, but when it arrived I thought it's too small in size, so I googled it. Having done that, I've realised it's actually being sold by Lenovo as a charger for Yoga. 
 
Am I safe to use this charger for my ThinkPad X1 Carbon (3460-CLG)?

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X1 Carbon Won't Switch From AC To Battery

Nov 27, 2013

Bought a unit with this problem: As soon as I unplug the AC Cord from the laptop, it power off without notice and can't power up the laptop. It seems like the battery is not giving power .When I plug back in the AC, I can press the power button.
 
One strange thing is that the battery is 100%, state : good. Tried the reset battery so now 3 cycle counts. The thing is that if I unplug the AC cord only from the power outlet to the ac adaptor then the power is still up, the brightness goes down a bit and then power off without notice.
 
Tried:
 
- the battery pack switch
- removed battery backup
- removed and reset the battery pack
 
I'm out of options and I would be glad if I can find what cause that "unswitchable thing".

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X1 Carbon Turns Off When Charging

Nov 24, 2013

When I plug in the AC adapter, my x1 shuts off right away. I have to reset the time in the bios to get it to work again. This happened right after I changed the keyboard. Now, it seems to be permanent issue. I thought it was an adapter issue but I have two adapters and both work fine.

Have a brand new X1 Carbon running windows 7.  It originally came with Windows 8 but had to downgrade to run a necessary work application (which could be the problem).  My battery never exceeds 50% even when plugged in for extended periods.  Also, I am not seeing any of the "Rapid Charge" that was promoted.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: Install Windows 8 From USB On X1 Carbon

Sep 25, 2014

I am trying to install windows 8 from the 3 disks that came with the X1 Carbon. There is no DVD drive and we have no external disk drive, so I need to create a bootable USB for this. The laptop came with windows 7 on it.
 
It is easy to use DISKPART to ready the USB as a bootable device, but how to I take the data from the 3 DVDs and put it onto the USB so that it works? The first one only has drivers but the OS install is split onto two disks. I referred to a KB article but it was talking about autorun files that are not present on these DVDs.
 
The DVDs I have are labeled as

(1) Applications and Drivers Recovery Disk,
(2) OS Recovery Disk Windows 8 Pro [Disk 1 of 2], and (2) OS Recovery Disk Windows 8 Pro [Disk 2 of 2].
