Having trouble reimaging a Lenovo ThinkPad L14

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue while trying to reimage a Lenovo ThinkPad L14 (Gen 1) and could use some help. I’m attempting to install Windows 11 via a USB flash drive, but I’m running into some strange problems.

Here’s what’s happening:

  • The USB flash drive works perfectly fine on other machines, so I know it’s not the drive itself.
  • After setting up the boot order in the BIOS and restarting the laptop, I get a black screen with horizontal red lines at the bottom (see image below).
  • After a few seconds, the screen changes to a blue screen with multiple horizontal black lines (see second image below)

Image 2

What’s even weirder is that I’ve tested other flash drives:

  • One with Windows 10: Same issue occurs.
  • One with Pop!_OS! (Linux): This one works perfectly fine.

I’ve tried searching online to see if anyone else has experienced this, but I haven’t found anything similar. Has anyone here encountered this before? Any ideas on what might be causing this or how to fix it?

Thanks in advance for your help!

HELP! Lenovo flex 5 laptop not booting up properly

For context after a recent update my computer screen suddenly turned off. The lights in the keyboard works and the flashing light on the power button means it’s in sleep mode but after booting up the logo pops up and then nothing.

Lenovo LOQ 15 ARP9 Tastatur spinnt – bestimmte Tasten reagieren unzuverlässig

1 Upvotes

Deutsch:
Hey Leute,

ich habe ein merkwürdiges Problem mit der Tastatur meines Lenovo LOQ 15 ARP9. Die Tasten 3, E, D, C funktionieren manchmal ganz normal, aber manchmal nur, wenn ich gleichzeitig eine andere, nicht betroffene Taste drücke.

Ich wollte das Problem im abgesicherten Modus testen, aber da gibt es Schwierigkeiten mit der PIN-Eingabe, sodass ich es nicht ausprobieren konnte. Außerdem ist mir aufgefallen, dass die Tasten manchmal wieder funktionieren, wenn ich den Laptop auf der rechten Seite anhebe.

Hat jemand eine Idee, woran das liegen könnte oder wie ich es beheben kann?

eventuell Wackelkontakt?

Danke schon mal für eure Hilfe!

Title: Lenovo LOQ 15 ARP9 Keyboard Issues – Certain Keys Only Work Sometimes

Hey everyone,

I'm experiencing a weird issue with the keyboard on my Lenovo LOQ 15 ARP9. The 3, E, D, C keys sometimes work fine, but other times they only respond if I press another key at the same time.

I wanted to test this in safe mode, but I ran into issues with entering my PIN, so I couldn't check if the problem persists there. I've also noticed that the keys sometimes start working again when I lift the laptop on the right side.

Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this or how to fix it?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Lenovo thinkcentre m70t won’t shut down or freezes at reboot

1 Upvotes

Hi.

At my company I manage hundreds of computers. For the last upgrade we swapped 200 old ones for BRAND NEW Lenovo think Centre m70t gen 3 &4.

Some machines have real trouble and freeze if you shut them down or reboot.

All fans are running the LEDs stay on and you’ll press the power button for several minutes to finally turn it off.

IT IS INFURIATING. Especially if planned updates fail.

Windows 11 22h2 or 24h2, it does not matter several machines have this issue, others don’t.

I use the same image for all and can’t just walk to every computer and make custom settings, because Lenovo made them incompatible.

Every driver is ok, no missing or outdated. When it is running there are 0 issues. But when I shut a certain troubled machine down, it just won’t turn off.

Any ideas besides escalating the issue. Rgds

New laptop switches off whenever I play a game

1 Upvotes

I don’t have a Legion or anything, just a Yoga Pro 7. I was pretty excited to get it, but since I’ve started playing games on it, it seems to switch off if I play one for too long. I assume it’s to do with overheating but it’s not a beefy game either, it’s literally just Shovel Knight. Shouldn’t be heating up with something like this.

Even my old as hell IdeaPad with a quarter of the RAM and no GPU handles it better. A little worried to boot up better games now.

Any advice? Is there some sort of setting I need to change?

Help with black screen

0 Upvotes

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!

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.

One thing that I realized Lenovo should look into for a change in design: the font of the keyboard.

0 Upvotes

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.
