Keyboard Thinkpad yoga 12 has no effective keys

Hello forum Lenovo.

I need help with my new Lenovo thinkpad, a Yoga 12.

I have a problem with the keyboard, missing keys that are required for efficient use. It is my only problem with the laptop but enough to have me consider getting a refund.

It should be possible to resolve these issues through software or registry hacks, I could use some suggestions as to how:

1. no NumLock key, it would be great if I could put this on Fn + DELETE and put the pad on Fn + {common keys any laptop uses for these}

2. right ALT does not cause for different symbols as is usually the case

3. There is no context menu key, I would put this on the current PrtSc key

4. left Ctrl and Fn key should probably change places

(5. I could do with start and end on the left/right arrows)

I already searched the means to do so, all I found was a way to remap the keys, but not to create new combinations of keys without running the software permanently.

Any help in getting these basic necessities would be great, and I hope that my post will be less ignored that others complain about the keyboard.

Regarding your point 4:

4. left Ctrl and Fn key should probably change places

This is an option in the BIOS. Press F1 at startup, go to config and the keyboard/mouse (sorry it's memory the wording might be different) and to allow the Exchange.

With regard to your point 2:

2. right ALT does not cause for different symbols as is usually the case

I'm not sure I understand, but you will get a different behavior from the left and right keys ALT if you set up a United States-international keyboard in Windows for example. Is that what you mean by Alt - Gr? If yes then it probably has to do with your keyboard layout in windows, rather than with the Thinkpad.

  • Landscape keyboard in Mode for blackBerry Smartphones has all the keys!

    Really panicking here. Updated my sys to 4.7.0.75 software, and now my keyboard in landscape mode has all the keys. The keyboard looks like a hybrid of the full qwerty and suretype keyboard view portrait, with two letters in a single touch. Some keys have letters on them.

    In addition, portrait view multitap keyboard has all the keys. There are exactly eight keys with letters attributed to them. Areas where there would normally be keys and letters are empty.  View portrait suretype keyboard works perfectly fine.

  • 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.

  • Intel GMA - disabling access keys rotation has no effect

    I want to use ctrl + alt + down, alt + top and ctrl in some application, so I want to disable these access keys. I did it in Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile settings but it has no effect: these key combinations are always turning my screen. The parameters are properly remembered.

    I tried on the administrator and normal user account. Someone knows how to fix this?

    Hello

    As I see in the hot key settings each entry listed for the purposes of the action may be disabled separately.
    Click on each combination of shortcut keys and choose the option Disable.

  • Re: Satellite A100-638 has a stuck key even when I unplug the keyboard.

    I have a Satellite A100-638 with a stuck tab button, up to now, I got around the problem by using a USB keyboard and keytweaking program.

    Unfortunately recently I got problems of coherence on the disk. I installed Win XP on and I can't do a consistency check due to the cancellation scans if no key is pressed. I tried to unplug the keyboard of the laptop motherboard, I think I made the success, but the Tab key always records as being pressed.

    The USB keyboard is fine and has no problem whatsoever.

    If someone could help, I'd appreciate it.

    Looks like the keyboard on the motherboard controller may be defective.

    Are you sure this isn't a driver/software problem? Have you recently installed a USB mouse?

  • Keyboard ThinkPad E430 problem

    Hello

    I have a Thinkpad E430 (type 3254). It is around the age of 14 months. Yesterday, he randomly started having a problem with his keyboard. It acts like the Enter key is pressed continuously, and about 1 sec after clicking another button, it stops. The key entry by itself stopped work shorts and only sometimes and translates a continuous press.

    As soon as I start, enter has entrance and start normal is interrupted. If I press a key it is normal again until an operating system load. By example, if I start debian, line breaks get inserted between the console enter messages that are displayed until I have a press and if I boot windows, it gets stuck on the login screen that is given without the password, so a loop is executed. This problem also sometimes randomly while working normally.

    The keyboard has not yet seen use intense or any other drink spills. Usually, I keep the laptop at my desk and use an external keyboard. The last time I took it was 2 weeks ago.

    All the world is facing this issue before? I doubt, it may be a software problem, so I need a new keyboard?

    Thanks for the help.

    ook so that nobody knows or don't bother. Anyway, I solved it and I'll leave it here.

    I called lenovo helpline, and they told me to remove the power supply and the battery and then keep the power button pressed for 2 x 30 seconds. It seems that the drainage load static on the motherboard. It helped but only for a few minutes. Last night, I drained the battery at 5% and the question is now gone. I recharged to 100%, and the system is normal.

    I don't know what caused it, but it might have something to do with the power manager Lenovo, which I recently installed.

  • Why the gradient tool has no effect?

    OK, so I figured out how to rub the head and tail of a piece with the marquee tool - why must you select Tools twice?  Why are there two selectors side-by-side? - and now, I'm trying to get the Fade tool at work.  After selecting the Fade tool (twice!), I can highlight the region at the end that I want to disappear, but he does not draw a fadeout, and it has no effect whatsoever.  The documentation says to just drag and they appear.  And Yes, I have a zoom of the track at the bottom of the screen, I work with (where I select the Fade tool (twice!) once again).

    Is there something about this program that is intuitive and logical, or it should be hostile user?  Laughing out loud

    TIA,

  • Help of digitizer Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga S1

    OK, so I just got a thinkpad yoga S1. The that I had was the one without the digitizer pen automatically installed in the side of the computer. The pen came separately and it is the same as that exact one used with the version that comes with the pen. I do not know the product code or even what her name. Which driver should I install and how can I register the product? Also, because the version I have has as a black spot where the digitizer normally goes is there a way I can get out and be able to accommodate the supplied stylus separately?

    I think that there are two options, that it is either the stylus or it doesn't. Who does not have integrated pen does not support the feather because of the used Panel. That's what I remember when I was doing research in this unit.

  • 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.

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

  • 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.
