• MDT 2013 Thinkpad Yoga 12 - WinPE boot problems

  We have two models of Thinkpad Yoga and use the same ethernet USB dongle to run MDT and their image with Win 8.1.

  Type 20 c 0 works very well. When we arrived the 20DK of a new type, we had some problems with our image of fat because of the different hardware profile and we weren't using a configuration of total control for drivers on our MDT.

  I created a new MDT installation on a virtual machine and I use the method of total control of the management of drivers by model. I have a profile of selection for winPE and imported the drivers of storage and network for both models (x 64 only, we don't have any x 86). I tried initially the USB3 Ethernet adapter driver I found under downloads for the 20 c model 0 but have tried since the upload of pack pilot SCCM and other I found specifically for the adapter realtek and SCCM, but nothing has changed. The current versions of pilot in my winpe folder are 8.15.0701.2014 and 8.8.0911.2013. Have updated the deployment share, copied the contents of the x 64 folder and copied the litetouchx64.wim in the sources on our USB startup folder and renamed to boot.wim.

  Currently on the 20DK I get the initial screen for MDT spash with blue background, but before any connection charges of screen I get the blue screen of crash with error (ndis.sys) System_thread_exception_not_handled. I guess I do know for sure that it is a problem of network driver but because it fails before the same connection to the deployment share it led me to believe that this was the case. I tried to turn off 3 USB mode in the bios to see if this will have an impact, and he didn't.

  The 20 c 0 still works fine and I was able successfully to the image (from my old wim of fat that I copied from my old server mdt)

  Completed up to add all the drivers for this model in the folder of WinPE drivers and who took care of her.

• NB510 - boot from the SD card?

  Hello

  I have a question related to booting from SD cards.
  As my NB510 has no optical device, I thought to use an SD with Linux on it to boot from.

  The reason is that sometimes I need Linux and I don't wan to lose my Windows partition or another partition of my HDD with a 2nd OS.

  My experience is that more than one OS at a disk always causes unnecessary trouble.
  Unfortunately, it seems that the NB510 does not boot from the SD card.

  I created it with the Toshiba SD Memory Format Utility and "UNetbootin" to create a card with the last OpenSUSE Linux.

  When, in from the laptop and press F2 (or F12), all available drives be filed - but not my SD card (Yes, it was inserted). BIOS Insyde H2O also doesn't seem to provide the SD card as boot drive.

  So is it possible to get my NB 510 booting from SD card?

  Greetings from the Germany

  Hello

  Why you boot from the USB flash key t n?
  As much as I know the NB510 support the start of disk HARD primary, Network (LAN), USB, USB HDD and USB WEIRD memory.

  If booting from USB is certainly possible.

• Satellite A200 - I can boot from PCI express card?

  I have a laptop A200.

  I recently bought a PCI expresscard HD. Many people have asked this question already on many sites and regarding several different brands and models of laptops. According to anadtech and other techys the only way to do an ExpressCard hd is updated the BIOS. During the installation of Windows it says that it canoe on the device because the BIOS is not able to boot from it.

  Toshiba creates a new BIOS to allow starting the expresscard hd or not Toshiba have a laptop model that will allow already, as im thinking of buying a new laptop but only if this option is available.

  There someone using windows vista/xp knows a way round.

  Hello

  As far as I know it s not possible to boot from PCI express card on Satellite A200.
  In addition these books where you can boot from this slot are not known to me. Only the options HDD, CD/DVD, USB and network, but all that s.

  In addition, I put t know what you mean with PCI expresscard HD.
  Is what exactly?

• Satellite P35-S609 - boot possible from the SD card?

  Hello.

  I did some autour research to see if it is possible to start a P35-S609 laptop computer and the SD card. Obviously, I have not found anything useful yet...
  I'm just boot Damn Small Linux from a 1 GB SD card. I started with success from a USB key, but they are so slow on this laptop... so I'll try a SD card instead.

  I've updated my worm 1.40 BIOS to see if there was no support for this, but nothing helped.

  Anyone know if it is even possible to start an SD card on this laptop? Or am I wasting my time?

  See you soon.

  Rob.

  Hello

  I never heard that it is possible to boot from an SD card so I doubt that. The BIOS doesn't support and an update of the BIOS will not add this feature.

  Sorry, but if you want to boot from a Linux system, you must use the USB, CD/DVD disc or HARD drive.

• Updated table controller drivers and Firmware at boot from a SD card?

  I am in the process of upgrading vSphere 5.1 to 6.0.  All our ESXi hosts boot from SD cards and do not use table controllers local (they don't even have disks).  We had internal discussions on the need to update table controller drivers and firmware on our ESXi hosts if we do not use the table.  Those who are drivers update are firmware are concerned by the potential problems when the operating system scans the controller (either on boot for when looking for the new volumes) If firmware or drivers have been written for vSphere 4.1.  Those who are against the update drivers and firmware think that since there is no disc no problem.

  VMware has specific recommendations?

  What do other drivers of controller of berries on systems that do not use the local drive (i.e. boot from SD SAN cards, Auto deploy,).

  Thank you.

  P.S., We use servers HP Proliant DL and BL series, but I guess that would apply to any provider.

  VMware and HP support told me that if the device should not be used, then the drivers and firmware will not be updated.  We played with the idea to disable the array controller in the BIOS, but finally we decided to stay with our standard process do not update table controllers.

• ThinkPad Yoga 14 upgrade to SSD

  Hello

  I just bought the Thinkpad Yoga 14 with i5/8 GB DDR3/1 TB Hybrid drive

  I also bought a processor Intel 240 GB SDD upgrade to.

  I tried to clone the disk SSD, but it gives just a blank screen or select jumps back to the boot of the screen when start to boot.

  I also tried to boot from a USB stick with Windows 8 on it, then install it on the SSD, but the same thing happens when you try to boot from USB (white screen or jumps back to the boot selection screen.

  I tried to turn off Secure Boot, boot legacy mode, boot order, Windows load mode turn off/on... nothing works.

  Technical hotline of Lenovo does not support upgrades.

  Please, any help would be great.

  Hello, I did the SSD upgrade last night and everything works so much better! I'm still not sure about the ram if its extensible or not.

  Here are the steps I took to swap the drive hybrid SSD HARD drive:

  (1) bought SanDisk Ultra II 480 GB Solid State Drive - $139.00

  (2) purchased Insignia 3.0 Portable Hard Disk Drive Enclosure - $29.00

  The case comes with the cable, you must clone the disks and then you can use your old HDD as a disk after having done an image backup and system if you want to, otherwise you have to buy the enclosure but will cable. I found the cost of the cable start around $10 and go on a $29, so I just went with the box. You can find quite different price elsewhere, that's just what I found locally.

  (3) make a backup of your entire system to an external drive, a system image backup and image of the system CD drive just in case.

  (4) download cloning software. I went with the free Sandisk recommended software - EZ GIG IV

  (5) Connect and clone old HDD to your Instructions SDD news will be with your new drive or the software.

  (6) once the clone is complete, unplug your internal battery in the BIOS. Instructions for this can be found in thinkpad manual.

  7) turn the power off and remove the laptop cover. Instructions for this are also in the thinkpad manual.

  (8) remove the old HARD drive. Thinkpad manual instructions

  (9) install the new SSD. Follow the instructions in the manual of Thinkpad and Instructions supplied with SSD

  (10) closing the case back up, put the screws back in and power on.

  He had a black screen for a while when I turned it on and while I studied what had not worked, that I thought it was normal and literally as I was reading all came and was immediately noticeable how fast he was. I ran the Bios Update tool on the lenovo support area but I didn't have to change anything in the bios and everything works great. I did not remove the 16 GB card as Ive read that some people have. I'm still not sure if this makes a difference or not. The event viewer shows no defects, and it shows as active / online and running.

  I'm always interested to find if I can pass the ram from 8 to 16 GB. If anyone knows...

  Also, I've upgraded to Windows 10 the day I bought the machine, so I don't know if that has nothing to do with the swap go smoother.

• ThinkPad Yoga - black screen

  After reading question formidable black screen for other models, I check if the Thinkpad Yoga also has the black screen problem. Since this happened just within one month after the expiration of the warranty, if it proves to be the hardware problem this has strong changes as the latest product lenovo belonging to the family.

  Question: I'm back a work House to wake up my sleeping Lenovo. Noticed that he seemed to be in mode black screen with nothing appear. So tried to press a few buttons and then finally turned off using the button. To restart, I could see the sign of Lenovo and the option to press ENTER to check the other options and I ignored as usual scenario happy path and let it go. At the time, that it usually starts showing the Windows screens, I don't see anything happen. A black screen with all the lights on the keyboard still works but no screen. Connected to the projector to see if the login screen displays, but it didn't. Tried to reboot several times, reset using the hole of pin down, ran Diagnostics and tried to update the system etc using the options of troubleshooting, checked BIOS settings - that appear on the screen and the LCD like a charm test pass, but when Windows starts does not work.

  ThinkPad Yoga 15 running on Windows 10 pro. 20DQ type of machine.

  The frustarting thing is guaranteed just expired in late July, phone support will not even discuss the issue since he arrived at expiration. I spent the right amount of days thinking about spending a lot on this laptop last year only to reach a point in a year I might have to spend little more just to save her. Help, please!

  Hello. Is it possible that system has gone through an automatic update to Windows 10 anniversary? If Yes, I have experienced the same problem - it will not start and show only black screen. For me, the previous generation ASR failed also. Here are my options:

  (1) I managed to complete the update after you follow this procedure - https://support.lenovo.com/cz/en/solutions/ht501760

  (2) if that is not enough at this point (I don't know if this setting is needed before a failed installation), I was able to recover a previous version:

  -on another computer, download Microsoft media creation tool and create and install USB offline media

  -boot from media by pressing F12 at startup and on the second screen (I think) at installation, you can decide not to install the system, but recover the system - there is a link on the lower left corner. This brings you to the recovery screen where you can revert to a previous version

  I would like to know if it's completely irrelevant, or it is useful.

• ThinkPad Yoga 14 (20FY) - can not auto-rotation, Missing in Action Center - WIndows 10

  I just did a clean install of Windows on my Thinkpad Yoga 14 10. I tried to install all the drivers that I could. The only thing missing for the laptop, it's that I can't auto-rotation in tablet mode. Auto-rotation setting is missing from the center of the action and enter the display settings is not an option to allow auto-rotation. I also tried enabling the sensor, the sensor monitoring service and Service of sensor data with no luck. What are the conditions to get this working?

  Thank you!

  I finally got it to work. After some intense searching, I found the driver that I had to install. It ends up being the Intel integrated sensor Solution. Installation of the package has work as well as the addition of a "sensors" section in device with drivers HID sensor Manager.

  http://support.Lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds112057

  It's weird that the driver does not show in the ThinkPad Yoga 14 drivers page.

• ThinkPad Yoga gestures on touch screen

  Hello

  I have the problem that all the actions of Windows 8.1 works perfectly well with the Touchpad, but most does not work with the touch screen.

  Pinch to zoom in, click on a finger or selection or longer a finger click for menu right click drop-down menu work fine.

  Especially in tablet mode, it's annoying to have to enter the pen to use slide from the side of the screen to the right to open the bar of charms and not being able to use my finger.

  I guess it's just a problem of parameters which is a little hard to find - or I'm blind looking for it - because with the exception of theses actions the touch screen works fine and precise as it should.

  Thanks for any help you guys can give me!

  PS. : The Machine is a Thinkpad Yoga

  EDIT: Ok, I've just discovered in playback Mode when the camera is on the right side, everything work perfect - the other 3 positions the problem is still

  I had a similar problem on mine. Recalibrate the touch screen fixed.

  Many people have problems with this on Windows 7 devices that came with touchscreens when at the edge of the touchscreen is not capable of being touched. I'm guessing that Windows 8 requires the button start to limit (or beyond the edge) of the screen for the gesture to be detected.

  When the screen is badly calibrated, when you touch the edge of the screen, it registers as just inside of the edge and is detected as a click instead. Given that the calibration does not change with the rotation of the device, I'd be your vertical calibration is ok (because it works in playback mode), but that your horizontal calibration is a little off.

  If you are looking for "Calibration" in the Control Panel, the "Tablet PC Settings' contains the menu to recalibrate the touch (and the pen if you have a) entries

• ThinkPad Yoga touchscreen wide and on (and off)

  I have a Thinkpad Yoga, 8.1, 8 MB.

  The touch screen has recently started working on and outside. The pen works, but the finger touch is not recognized.

  I have disabled the powermangement of input devices USB/Humaninterface/Device Manager.

  Sometimes a reboot works, today, there is not.

  What should I do?

  I had this problem before, and it could be the material in function.

  One of the sure way to know if it is a hardware based problem, is to go into the menu of the BIOS and see if you can navigate the menu of BIOS from the touch.

  Here is a demonstration

• Pen Active ThinkPad Yoga 14 (20FY) does not

  Just picked up a new Thinkpad Yoga. No doubt thrilled by the specifications, it seems to be the laptop perfect for me the dedicated graphic combination, capacity 2-to-1 and especially, a wacom pen. However, upon getting it home, I find that the pen is not working either. Curious, I went back to Best Buy and tried the pen on the display model. This one does not work either.

  They have some kind of problem with the digitizer pen works do not? Is there any fix known for this?

  Have you some troubleshooting on mine. Discovered by putting the pen from my computer on another computer that the pen refill port on my computer is defective. Pen works fine when loaded into another computer.

  Certainly hoped he would pen and not the computer itself. Now, I just have to decide if this feather is worth not having my computer for too long.
