Lenovo Yoga 11 Flex :: Battery Is Not Charging (sometimes)

Jul 24, 2013

I have the issue that my newly bought Yoga 11 (three weeks ago) is charging whenever it seems to feel like. The first time I have charged it, it went up to 92 % telling me its now in power state and not charging. This happened triple. Yesterday my Yoga was beneath the 50 % mark and I plugged in the powercable, the same again: not charging. I unplugged the power cable and at 0 % and a shutdown I booted it and it charged perfectely up to 99 % without moaning. I unplugged the cable and at 77 % the same again, I plugged in the power cable and it charged up to 99 % again.
 
Is this a bug (battery problem) or a feature (thresholds for a long living battery)?

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro Flex :: Battery Not Charging - 0% Available

Aug 13, 2014

My battery is at 0% available, plugged in charging, but it never goes about 0%. I've tried resetting the battery gauge in Energy Manger 1.0.1.49 but that only runs for a few seconds and reports that the gauge reset is complete. I've also disabled the ACPI control in device manager then enabling it and the icon appears to be charging but only for a few seconds then stops. Having conservation mode on or off doesn't seem to make any difference.
 
The latest BIOS is installed and I believe I have the latest version of Energy Manager.

Lenovo Yoga Flex 15 :: Battery Drains While Shut Down

Lenovo Yoga Flex :: 13 - Battery (60% Charged) Lasts For Only An Hour?

Feb 21, 2013

I have been using my laptop at home for the past 6 months for most of the time. When I am running the computer I have it charged with the Optimised Battery Health option, so, less than 60% is charged all the time, and I have never removed the adapter if I am using it. But, when I went to sleep I removed the adapter from the laptop.
 
What happened: Today finally I am taking it out for a breath and it lasts for only an hour!!!!
 
What was on: I was using it to do some research online only. So technically only wifi was on - not even bluetooth or video or music play. I only ran Chrome, a dictionary software, and my Dropbox. Well, I actually turned the screen into very bright, which was full brightness minus two presses of F11 (to decrease the brightness).
 
Would it be a cause of upgrading to WINDOWS 8.1?! (like upgrade to iOS 7 on an Apple phone: running latest iOS consumes lots more battery capacity in older iPhone..)

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro Flex :: Battery Discharging Rather Quickly - Calibration?

Nov 27, 2014

My Yoga 2 Pro battery is discharging is rather quickly. I have seen this forum that I can perform a battery calibration with Battery Manager.

My question is: should I do it while my Yoga 2 is plugged with on the AC adapter or not? If not, should I do it when the battery is at 100%?

Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro Flex :: Not Charging - When Plugged In Battery Continues To Drain

Jan 25, 2015

Earlier today, my Yoga 3 Pro decided to stop charging.  When plugged in, the battery continues to drain as if it was not plugged in.  I have tested the A/C adapter by plugging in my phone with a micro USB and that worked fine, and the USB charging slot works when my wireless mouse is plugged into it, so I assume it must be the strange Y3P USB cable that is not working.  
 
Would a normal USB to USB cable work for charging my laptop?  If not, how do I replace that "kink" USB cable?

Lenovo Yoga 2 Flex :: How To Access BIOS

Jun 21, 2014

I purchased a new Flex 2-15 online the past week. The model name shown on the back is "20405". Manufacture date is May 12, 2014. The User Guide refers to a "Novo Button", which is shown in diagrams as being on both the left edge and the right edge near the front. Neither location has a button of any sort. The right edge has a pinhole in the supposed button location. A curved arrow icon is next to the pinhole. I have an inkling this may be some sort of factory reset button. Lacking the Novo button, what is the procedure for accessing the features which the manual says are accessed by pressing this non-existent button?. That is, BIOS, and/or the one touch image backup/restore system?

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro Flex :: How To Use Recovery Media

Jun 3, 2014

I paid $60 just for some recovery discs to recover my accidentally formatted Yoga 2 Pro. The discs came with no instructions whatsoever, and using them is weird. First of all, there is two disc 1's, no disc 2, yet there is a disc 3 and 4. Support confirmed this is normal. There is also no prompt between discs 1,1, and 2, so despite making my best guess at when to switch, I can't confidently say I'm not screwing things up.
 
After the whole process completes, the bios can't find bootable media.

Similar kind of issue I faced two times before but if I hard boot again it worked fine.

Lenovo Yoga 13 Flex :: Main SSD Not Recognized

Feb 25, 2013

I just had my Yoga 13 for about two months and really liked it. Upped RAM to 8GB and added the second SSD. Sweet.
 
But now I managed to nearly brick my nice little Yoga by spilling juice all over it, and now I am in recovery process.
 
I checked the original mSATA SSD on another machine, and it looks like it still works fine, all partitions are still there.
 
In the very beginning after first "drying" the Yoga I got it to boot a couple of times. But now all I get is "Default Boot Device Missing".

Next thing I'll try is putting the SSD in an external USB enclosure and try and boot from there.

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro Flex :: How To Turn Off Gestures

Nov 14, 2013

I just got the Yoga 2 Pro and it seems like a great laptop / tablet.  I have one big problem:  the touchpad is near-unusable for me.  It seems like I'm constantly activating the switch app gesture and just cannot use it.

How do I turn off all of the gestures on the touchpad so that it just functions like a normal mouse????

Lenovo Yoga Flex :: 11s Won't Turn On Without Plugged In

Aug 25, 2014

I've got a Yoga 11s which is barely a few months old and hasn't seen much use. Having the same problem - it won't power on or charge (powers on only when plugged in). In Lenovo Energy Manager battery status shows "Good" and charging status shows "Battery Connected". WIndows power management icon however, shows Plugged-in, not charging. Never had that problem before either, but it came with the power-on failure so I guess they're related.

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro Flex :: Will Not Shutdown Or Sleep

Dec 29, 2013

I cannot get the Y2P to shutdown or sleep. When I try to shut down it powers off but after about 2 seconds it turns itself back on and boots up. Same thing happens when I try to sleep.I've tried pretty much everything I could find online including the following:
 
-Turn off wake on lan on the network adapter
-Turn off auto restart on windows errors
-Updated bios
-Updated drivers
-Disabled all non microsoft services
-Factory reset of the OS

Went through every device in device manager and turned off "Allow this device to wake the computer"powercfg /lastwake (shows nothing).Shutting down isn't a huge deal as holding down the power button will eventually turn it off. But not being able to sleep the laptop when I close the lid is a deal breaker as the battery constantly drains.

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro Flex :: Keyboard Not Working?

Jul 18, 2014

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.

Lenovo Yoga 13 Flex :: Lag After Updating To Windows 8.1

May 24, 2010

I recently updated my Yoga 13 to Windows 8.1 and am now experiencing significant lag when resuming from suspend and periodically while I work. Often I will type and not see the text on the screen for another 5+ seconds. 
 
I have run Malwarebytes and Windows Defender and found no malware. By keeping an eye on the task manager I have not been able to identify a misbehaving process.

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro Flex :: SSD Random Freezing

May 12, 2013

I own a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro (Model 20266) with a stock 256GB Samsung SSD MZMTD256HAGM-000L1. It works well in general, but occasionally it'll freeze for several tens of seconds, particularly when I'm idling or working on something that doesn't use the hard drive. I thought it was an issue with the SSD going to sleep, but disabling hard drive sleep via the Windows Power Options doesn't work. I've tried installing Samsung Magician, but it doesn't support the drive even though it detects its a Samsung SSD.

Is there some setting I need to disable? Failing that, is there some way I can upgrade the firmware? This model doesn't appear on Samsung's website either.

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro Flex :: How To Do Factory Reset

Sep 28, 2014

I just got it about 2 weeks ago and it's all booger up.  I think I accidentally installed some malware and it now there's stuff I just can't get off it.  I've been running windows 7 for years and never had malware issues like I'm running into on 8....
 
Since there's no DVD drive and it didn't come with a system restore thumb drive like my mac air did, how do you do a full factory reset?
