• 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.

• 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.

I like the rectangular right key. Someone can tell me what is the keyboard with this model in fact and how can I make sure that I get a model with the right key.

  Thank you

  Take a look at this thread:

  http://forums.Lenovo.com/T5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T520-keyboard-layout/TD-p/413817

  It depends on what country buy you the computer. If you buy a Thinkpad to the United States it is the smallest size of line key, but in Norway where I live, we have the largest and touches two rows.

  Maybe someone else in the same country where you plan to buy the computer can confirm which type of keyboard Thinkpad got in this country.

• Synaptics - right-click interpreted as left click - T440s

  When I right click using the touch pad on my T440s, it fits like a left click. I reset all my Synaptics settings to their default values. I rolled back my Synaptics Pointing Device driver to the previous version, which is now 19.0.17.2. I restarted. The right click is still registered as a left click. Left click registered also as a left click, and I confirmed that I don't have the "Change primary and secondary buttons" option is selected. I'm perplexed as to what I can do next.

  Note: This has nothing to with a two-finger tap. Who does not either, but I'm talking about a physical depression of the widely maligned disaster and appropriately to a touchpad that came with the laptop (and has since been abandoned new features of Lenovo, thank God). I also fiddled with the Synaptics settings for 'Activate top button' and 'Enable button down', and it does not help.

  As a solution, I used AutoHotKey to map my right shift key to emulate a right click. This works, but is rather clumsy compared to a real right click. (Information on how to do it, in case you're curious: http://superuser.com/a/195168)

  This problem started while I was with a keyboard ThinkPad autonomous, plugged on the USB port of the laptop. When I work for a long time, I like to put my laptop on a stand, so the screen is directly in front of my face; This prevents the neck from bending forward to look at the screen of the laptop. I have a stand-alone ThinkPad keyboard that is on the table at a natural height for my wrists/hands.

  I am running Windows 10. But I had this problem once before, while running Windows 8.1, and the solution was then to restore the previous Synaptics driver. I suspect the specific version of the pilot had nothing to do with it, and if the cancellation has replaced some bad state. This time, however, roll back did not help.

  If I plug a separate USB, right-click on this device mouse works fine, which confirms that this is not a problem of Windows System. It's almost certainly a problem with Synaptics, which is also confirmed by the fact that roll back my driver Synaptics * fact * work the last time I had this problem.

  I should also mention that I had other problems Synaptics while my own ThinkPad keyboard is connected. I suspect that this is a configuration of Synaptics and Lenovo must test more extensively.

  My next step is to completely uninstall my Synaptics driver and hope that Windows drivers included for keyboard and pointer. Does anyone have a better solution? Obviously, I prefer the driver updates that avoid this problem in the first place.

  Uninstall and reinstall the driver Synaptics solved the problem.

  Steps to uninstall:

  -Open Device Manager (you can search in the start menu)

  -Expand "Mice and other pointing devices" (language of Windows 10)

  -Double-click on "Synaptics Pointing Device" to open its properties

  -Select the 'Driver' tab

  -Select "Uninstall" and follow the instructions, restart if necessary

  Steps to reinstall:

  -Open Device Manager

  -Expand "Mice and other pointing devices" (language of Windows 10)

  -Double-click on the element of mouse

  -Select the 'Driver' tab

  -Select 'Update Driver' and allow Windows to search for the appropriate driver

• S540 Windows Shutdown 10 & sleep

  After the upgrade to Windows 10 my S540 will not be stopped or sleep properly.

  To try to stop, I get the Red led in the keyboard Thinkpad logo flashes constantly and can hear the internal fan of overtime. This does not stop little matter how long I leave it, resulting in a hard reset on the power button 5 second.

  To sleep let some keyboard led is lit and then will not recognize a pressure on the power button to wake it up to the top. The system seems to be asleep because there is no noticeable noise from the unit. Once more the only way to 'wake up' the machine is a second 5 pwer button Reset.

  I updated the machine fully for the update of Windows 10 according to Lenovo desk including the last update of the bios.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Paul

  Scratch that, just reinstalled the drivers of power management and this seems to have fixed the problems.

• Keyboard comes out on my new Thinkpad Edge

  My wife has just received its new Thinkpad Edge (0196-26U 13 "screen, Intel processor, matte black). While not as energetic as our boosted T61 or T400, it is much lighter and adapts to its needs.

  Most of the keys on the keyboard feels good, but our model seems to have a flaw. The upper right corner of the keyboard tray pops out regularly. I can click it back in but there is a visible bulge and with a slight flex of the body it comes out back. In addition, the right side of the END key is depressed compared to the rest of the keys.

  I provide Lenovo today to inquire about a replacement part.

  Anyone else having this problem?

  Received the replacement keyboard today (the day after). It was a simple swap out. The original was clearly misrepresented in the upper right. The replacement unit has a millimeter to give in the same corner, but the framework comes out with an audible 'click'. Not perfect but does not interfere with my typing.

  The keyboard is attached to the frame by tabs at the front and two screw centered on a third of the way left and right. This keeps most of the keyboard firmly in place, especially in the middle where you press the small head of gum. The corners are only kept pressed by the rigidity of the frame of the keyboard. Thus, given any incompatibility with the chassis, there got to be some give.

  That's life I guess.

• Problems with the Thinkpad E560 keyboard/keypad and mouse mats

  I bought my Thinkpad around time of December-January, and since there has been some recurring problems.

  On the one hand, with the keyboard, sometimes some of the keys stick: say I'm going to hold the S key and then release, sometimes it keeps acting as if he is still in detention. In addition, the entire keypad has stopped working; at this time last week, it worked perfectly fine, I used to use the calculator, lock the buttons on the internet Explorer and file at the top of the key all the time, but one day they just stopped working. The numbers themselves, as well as the NumLock key and others, also do not work. I tried to reboot, perform analysis, installation of the drivers and all sorts, but without success.

  Finally, with the mouse pad, sometimes sections of it will stop working. As I type this, I can use the right side of my mousepad to move the mouse, but the left side does not work. Sometimes it will change, with the center of the mouse pad does not, while the very right and left mouse do. Usually reinstalling a driver or reboot the computer solves this problem, but it keeps happening and is very frustrating.

  This laptop is a few months old only, I'm not too happy with the problems that keep popping up, and I hope that someone can be useful!

  Thank you

  My mistake! I had completely missed the BIOS update, I installed and fixed this problem. I found it here, if anyone else has similar problems
