When I plug in an external mouse, it won't click.
If an external mouse does not work correctly, you may need to install device drivers for it. Windows does not support all 'mice' just by plugging them in. Download and install the drivers for the mouse from the manufacturers web site. Do NOT do a factory recovery for a device driver problem.
Screen brightness at max but very dark
If it's running on battery power it will dim. Right click on the desktop and choose Display or Personalize. Choose Screen Saver next and then "Change power settings". From there, you can choose screen brightness for running on battery power or wall outlet.
My lenovo z500 has a screen brightness issue. It very dim and it won't turn up no matter what I do?
Hi, I had this problem also and I don't know why, but Lenovo Ideapad Z500 seems to have some compatibilities issues with a new Intel video card.So, what you need to do is rolling back the HD intel video card driver to the previous version OR go to the following path: D:\drivers\VGA\Intel\x64\9.17.10 and press Setup to install the old driver again.That solved my problem. It's a shame that I can't upload this driver in my laptop.
Ideapad s10-2 - doesn't turn on. When plugged into
Hi,
Welcome to FixYa! Since you already purchased a nwe AC adapter and still the same, theres a possibility that the problem is with the DC port on the laptop itself or the Motherboard. In that case, you will need to replaced the base cover if its the DC port or if its the MOBO, the motherboard is need to be replaced. You can contact Lenovo for that, if the system is still under warranty or you purchased an extended warranty, they will be able to send the laptop to depot for free. If the system is not under warranty anymore, the process from Lenovo is you will need to pay an $80 non refundable qoutation fee,that is for the diagnostics of their technician and for the one time shipping. You will send the laptop to their depot which is in Texas by your own expense. Once they verify the exact problem,someone will call you to provide you the information on how much is the total cost,but the $80 that you initially paid will be deducted from the final charge. The phone no for Lenovo is 1-877-453-6686,press option 2 on all the voice prompts.
Hope this information will help. Thank you for using FixYa!
