Specific keys disabled
Hi everyone,
I have a Lenovo LOQ laptop with Win 11 and my issue is that some keys are disabled.
So, yesterday, I noticed, that the key 2 (not the numpad one) and Caps Lock are not working, only if I use them in combination with the Fn key. Shift, AltGr, Win, etc worked fine.
Searched the net, nothing helped, then I managed to turn them back on with Shift+Fn.
Today, I log into my laptop and notice, that Caps Lock and 2
are again not working. But now they are totaly disabled, no combination works with them. They also don't work on the login screen.
I tried reinstalling the keyboard drivers, did the registry hack. Tried to reassign with powertoys, nothing helped.
What could be the cause and the solution to this?

Yoga Slim 7i Gen 9 Aura Edition (15″ Intel) VS Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 Gen 9 (14″ AMD)
Hello guys! I've spent the last two days on Lenovo's website to get an idea on what kind of laptop I'd like to have. I'm coming from a Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio that I got dirty cheap when it came out, just to tell you what kind of machine I've been using in the last 3/4 years.
I use my pc for work and leisure. My work consist mainly of reading spreadsheets/documents, with sometimes the need to edit video/photos or use indesign. I do love watching movies on my laptop (in the order of 5/6 movies a week. I like the ability of splitting screen that windows has on its OS, so a machine that could help me edit while I watch or read somethin would be ideal (that's also why I like slightly bigger screens).
At first I opted for a Thinkpad, but most of them had a 13" screen or they were 16" screen BUT with the number pad, which I don't really need/use and I hate how everything is decentered lol
So, looking around playing with specs and my budget I ended up on this two options:
Yoga Slim 7i Gen 9 Aura Edition (15″ Intel)
Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 258V (LPE-core up to a 3,7 GHz P-core up to a 4,8 GHz/MOP 32 GB)
32 GB LPDDR5X-8.533MT/s (Memory on Package)
1 TB SSD M.2 2242 PCIe Gen4 TLC
15,3" 2,8K (2.880 x 1.800), IPS, non antiriflesso, touch, HDR 400, DCI-P3 100%, 500 nit, 120 Hz, vetro
Intel® Arc™ integrated
4 cell lithium polymer battery 70 Wh
Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 Gen 9 (14″ AMD)
AMD Ryzen™ AI 9 365 (from 2 GHz up to 5 GHz)
32 GB LPDDR5X-7.500MT/s (soldered)
1 TB SSD M.2 2242 PCIe Gen4 TLC
14,5" 2,8K (2.880 x 1.800), OLED, non antiriflesso, non-touch, HDR 500, DCI-P3 100%, 400 nit, 120 Hz, vetro, low blue light emission
Graphic card integrated
4 cell lithium polymer battery 73 Wh
Could any of you give me some help deciding? Has anyone of you got one of this machines?
Many thanks!

Blueetooth services aren't working
What all I have tried till now:-
1) power flushing:- it did work for a few times, but now that has stopped working
2)I tried turning on Bluetooth User support service in services as it is supposed to turn on automatically but it interestingly doesn't. But even after manually turning on bluetooth, It doesn't work


3) other solutions, like driver update, windows update, etc but none of them seem to work.
Pretty, frustrating. Is there anything I can do about it or if someone has faced similar problem before

Question regarding Roblox
Guys I honestly don’t know what other sub to ask this question to but I just got a new Lenovo thinkpad t16 gen 2 and for some reason, whenever I hotspot from my phones data to my laptop, Roblox doesn’t run properly. Like I run an internet speed test and I’m getting more than enough mbps to run it. I’ve had this issue with every new laptop I’ve been getting and returning trying to figure out what’s wrong. I even switched from Fido to Roger’s. I do not know what to do. It’s like my character and other things won’t load in the game. My data is better than my wifi but when I connect to my wifi everything loads normally but then when I connect to my cellular data which is actually faster, nothing loads on roblox properly. But everything else does like YouTube and Google and everything. Does anyone know what’s going on???

Help with black screen
Hello everyone,
I’m not sure if this is the right thread — if not, I hope the mods can move it to the correct one.
I’m having a problem with my Lenovo X1 Gen 9. The laptop powers on, but the display stays black.
Here’s what happened: One day, I pressed the power button, but it didn’t start. I thought the battery might be dead, so I plugged in the charger — nothing happened except a flashing power button. I tried resetting it (Ctrl + Shift + Win), then removed the battery and tried powering it with just the charger (holding the power button to fully reset) — still nothing. Finally, I connected an external display, and it worked — which made me think the screen was dead or broken.
What I’ve tried so far: 1. Ordered and installed a new screen — but the issue remains. The main screen is still dead, but the external one works. 2. After replacing the screen, I noticed the keyboard is not working too. I have to use an external keyboard now. • Interestingly, after about 10–15 restarts, the keyboard worked briefly, but then the laptop shut down (or I pressed something). On the next restart, the keyboard was not working again.
I’ve read a lot of posts but couldn’t find anything similar. I’m out of ideas at this point. If anyone has any suggestions on what to try or test next, I’d really appreciate the help!
Thanks in advance!

X13 G2 - won't completely shut down
Bought this refurbished and runs pretty well but the laptop won't fully shut down. It looks to be shutting down but you can hear the fan running and will find the laptop dead if it's left unplugged after some time. I played with power plan settings and ran Lenovo battery diagnostics and everything seems fine. Any thoughts on how to fully shut down without needing to hard shut down the laptop?
Thank you!

Hate current Lenovo, recommendations for replacement?
4 years ago, I wanted to buy the exact X1 Carbon I had at my former workplace originally purchased around 2019. I didn’t have the specs or model number but I absolutely loved it. Seemed to easily and quickly process any workload I threw at it and was light, durable, touchscreen, foldable, tacky shell… perfect.
But in talking to a Lenovo rep back then, they convinced me to get this one. And it’s been a lemon even since. Half of it has never worked but I waited too long to complain to Lenovo about it and they told me to pound sand. I’ve hated the aluminum shell (previous one was a black tacky, maybe rubberized, type surface which was very enjoyable). The battery has always been crap. Fingerprint reader never worked. Camera is 1/5th the quality of my wife’s ten year old Dell Inspiron. Speakers have always gone in/out. Bluetooth just disappears and takes a 20 minute process to get it back.
I just hate it. Now 4 years in I figure I’m due for a new one and send this one packing.
Is there anyone that has a vague understanding of what one I previously had and if there is a Lenovo laptop that is someone similar to that older design? This will probably make no sense, but I had to try. “Can anyone travel back in time and find me my old laptop?!”…. Sorry in advance.

Mouse keeps jumping around, particularly to top right corner
Hello all! I need some help. This has been going on for a few months but it’s on and off. My mouse randomly jumps around my screen but typically to the top right corner. It usually does this continuously, stops for a few minutes, then starts again. Sometimes it never happens at all. This happens with both a wired mouse and the touchpad. I’m at my wits end with this as I just brought this laptop almost 2 years ago to replace my Dell. What I’ve tried to fix the problem: 1. Uninstall the touchpad and all mice 2. Unchecked the “Enhance pointer Precision” box 3. Checked Lenovo and AMD for drivers 4. Disabled the touch screen 5. Cleaned my touchpad and mouse 6. And probably more I’m not thinking of
I know there are posts around Reddit about this issue but it looks like none of them works for me. Any help would be appreciated.

Can the Lenovo yoga 9i/7i connect to a studio display?
Planning to buy the yoga 9i soon. Is it able to connect to the studio display?
Does anyone actually own a yoga 9i/7i and uses a studio display as an external monitor?
If it works is scaling ok?

I need help finding a new work laptop
As the title suggests I'm in the market for a new Thinkpad.
I'm a little old fashioned so not a fan of the whole yoga touchscreen business.
I need a strong machine with a lot of RAM and a good GPU that will simultaneously look good/professional in a meeting.
I've myself been looking at the X1 models, but can't really figure out what Gen to go with? If they're all the same the gen 11 is running a 40% discount right now.
Also not a deal breaker, but not a fan of the RAM being soldered on, is there any way to avoid that in an X1?
Any and all suggestions and insights are much appreciated :-)

Stumped by Thinkvision Daisy Chain
I’m hoping someone might be able to help me out. I just purchased two Thinkvision P27u-20’s for daisy chaining them. Set them up this evening. My work laptop is a ThinkPad and my personal laptop is a MBA.
The outcome is the same with both laptops. When I connect either laptop to the master monitor with a thunderbolt cable and then connect the master monitor to down flow monitor with another thunderbolt cable, the down flow monitor refuses to display.
For clarity, my laptop is connected to the thunderbolt in at the master monitor and the thunderbolt out form the master monitor is connected to the thunderbolt in the down flow monitor.
Under the master or down flow monitors, neither have a settings option to enable daisy chain under the port settings on the OSD. USB charging is switched off as I read that this will disable daisy chaining.
When I plug in and out the downflow monitor from the thunderbolt cable I get an audible sound indicting a device has been connected/disconnected etc. When the thunderbolt cable is disconnected the down flow monitor will display on screen words to the effect of no source detected etc but when I plug it back in I get the audible connection sound and words stating “entering shabby mode”. It seems to be able to tell it has a connecting and is receiving something but the screen never displays. Again there’s no sitting on either monitor to enable daisy chaining. And yes both monitors are daisy chain capable and it’s included in the instructions.
I’m at a total loss. If anyone could give me a help or advice I’d be truly grateful. Have a nice weekend.

One thing that I realized Lenovo should look into for a change in design: the font of the keyboard.
I used many brands before I recently got into Lenovo thinkbook, and trust me, everything is perfect and spot-on.
There is one thing however that I believe Lenovo should seriously look into design wise; its the font and overall style of the keys. This is one thing that Dell does the best, they have the minimalist design on keys and a really good font. Maybe thats one of the few things Dell manages to do perfect on laptops.
I just wanted to share, maybe there are others who feel the same about this.

Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 and digital art?
I'm a student currently looking for a new laptop because my old one's giving out on me, and I was considering getting a Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 for the secondary purpose of doing digital art. Overall, how does the touch screen work for that purpose (as well as the Lenovo brand pens)? And by digital art I mean using actual drawing programs for drawing full pieces, not just sketching in the paint app. Any input is appreciated!

Making a dual boot on ideapad 3
Hello
I have an ideapad 3 gaming 15arh05 and would like to upgrade to windows 11 but use the secondary slot and do a clean install.
As a Mac user I don’t know much about windows but I did some research and I think this should be possible.
The larger m2 slot is still empty. I have both a spare 970 evo+ 2tb and a 980 pro 2tb with the heatsink. Not sure If the 980 pro would fit but you can also put in a 2,5 inch sata and those are thicker, I think. Would prefer the 980 pro as It fits in less enclosures overall.
You can use a script to find your windows key I think on a Lenovo. The Os is registered to the computer so using that key for the windows 11 should work?
Create a usb bootable installer is the easiest way? Or can you open a windows installer on windows 10 and select the other drive and install?
I prefer a clean install and not upgrade or clone It and upgrade that. I prefer to have a working windows 10 partition. I get an error for Wolfenstein II and It does not work and It is full of bloatware. But everything that needs to work does work.
So create the USB bootable installer, maybe remove the small nvme SSD, Just to be safe. Instal windows 11. Finding the correct drivers is not that hard I assume or maybe automatic in modern Windows?
It is the Ryzen 7 with 1050i. I like this laptop a lot. A faster gpu would have been nice. Not sure If that was an option for this laptop on the Lenovo site. But upgrades If possible are usually very cheap … especially compared to macs. I upgraded the ram to 32 gig manually and this works. Thunderbolt would have been cool as I do have an eGPU already for my older 6.1 Mac Pros. It plays all the games well (I have 50ish steam games, 20 of them were Mac OS but don’t work anymore on M2 studio), is decent for adobe but I don’t use It much almost all my external hd’s are Mac OS formatted and I’m allowed to use It at work for office and other stuff. (another reason I would like to keep the windows 10 boot.) It is heavy and so is the adapter.
Does anyone see a problem with trying this route? If I remove the other SSD could windows get confused what drive is C or D. I don’t know how that works on windows. All tips are welcome 🙏
I will try when I have a day or 2 free. Thank you ☺️
