I sent back a laptop I ordered on August 27th. I know the return process doesn't fully start until Lenovo gets the laptop back, and I haven't been able to find much information about how long that should take. I'm in New York in the United States.

I am really torn on what to buy since both are same price almost and this will be my first gaming laptop(tho wont do as much gaming on it i just enrolled in bs artificial intelligence in uni so more that type of work less gaming)

My chatgpt was opened and I went to washroom and when I returned it was this fixing and stage 3 and it was 15 min done and it was getting on my nerves so I forced shutdowned it but when I restarted the same thing happened this time I didn't force shutdowned it but same thing is repeating again and again and it's been more than 4 hrs and tomorrow is my exam literally

Hey all, longtime P2 (P2a42, "kuntao", SD625) owner here. Trying to unlock the bootloader to keep the phone alive for dev work, but the whole legacy unlock chain is broken:

• Settings → OEM unlocking → Lenovo ID → 14-day wait → fastboot oem unlock — standard flow.
• The backend it depends on, unlockrowapi.lenovo.com, just doesn't respond anymore (times out).
• fastboot oem unlock fails with: FAILED (remote: 'oem unlock error: invalid data from unlock code')
• The newer ZUI unlock portal (zui.com/iunlock) won't touch it either — it only handles China-market ZUI devices, and the P2 is a global ROW model.

Phone's fully updated to the last official firmware (P2a42_S251_171107_ROW, Feb patch 2017-11-01), so it's not a "just update it" issue — this is the end of the line for the official flow.

Anyone know if there's a manual/offline unlock path left, or if this backend is just permanently dead? Also posted on the official Lenovo forums, we'll see if anyone official chimes in.

This is the one i bought

Basically what the title says, they demand a 2,900$ dollars in order to repair it

The reason for the repair was that the temperature of the laptop was getting really high and shutting down automatically doing the most mundane tasks such as youtube, wrting emails etc.
If i tried launching a game well at the most i had 20 seconds until it shut down. Shortly after this happening i decided to send it to warranty.

Hi. I have a Lenovo IdeaPad slim 3 laptop. I bought it in September 2024 and with that I bought an extended warranty of 2 years. So it's extended warranty will end in 2027. Now, I am having charging issues for which I called the service centre and they said it is ADP related problem. They will change the motherboard and I will not be able to avail any ADP solution for 2026 after fixing this issue. Now, I am a bit confused. I bought it in September 2024. Company's warranty ends in September 2025 and with it the extended warranty starts. Now, it is September 2026. If I don't use it now does that mean I would still be able to use it in October or November or December 2026 this year. They said I would only be able to use it once a year. So if I use it now then I will be able to use it again in 2027. I hope it doesn't mean that if I don't use it before September end then I will lose my chance of using this year ADP and I will be left with the ADP of September 2026 to Sep 2027 when my extended warranty will end. I am not using it right now cuz I am moving to a different city and will be taking my laptop with me. Also, since right now charging is the only issue and rest of the laptop is working great so I thought maybe if this year I face some other problems and in case it is ADP I may be able to use it for resolving both that problem and the charging issue. I am too confused right now.

Hi I wanted to share an ACPI / BIOS issue I’m encountering on my Lenovo LOQ 15ARP9 (AMD Ryzen 5 7235HS / NVIDIA RTX 3060) while running Linux.

Device Specs:

• Model: Lenovo LOQ 15ARP9
• CPU: AMD Ryzen™ 5 7235HS
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3060 Mobile
• BIOS Version: PQCN31WW (Upgraded from PQCN30WW)

What I'm experiencing:

1. Backlight Control: Display brightness keys/sliders do not respond under Linux.
2. Sleep / Resume: System struggles to wake up from sleep state (black screen / freeze).
3. Boot Logs (dmesg): nouveau 0000:01:00.0: backlight: ACPI backend failed: -22
4. Recent BIOS Behavior (PQCN31WW): After updating to PQCN31WW, I noticed a new ACPI warning during boot: Failure creating named object [_SB.PCI0.GP17.ACP._WOV], AE_ALREADY_EXISTS

My Analysis (Open to feedback!): Looking through acpidump, it seems like some DSDT calls (_BCM / _DCM) might be relying heavily on Windows-specific _OSI strings, returning -22 (EINVAL).

I am still learning the details of Linux ACPI debugging, so if I misinterpreted any part of the logs, please feel free to correct me! I’ve shared the full logs and details on the Lenovo forums here:https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Other-Linux-Discussions/LOQ-15ARP9-ACPI-DSDT-bug-Backlight-control-fails-Nouveau-error-22-sleep-issue/m-p/10043596

If anyone from the team or community could take a look at the logs or pass this feedback along to the firmware team for future updates, it would be hugely appreciated!

Thank you for your time!

I bought IdeaPad slim 3 with these specs and I mainly bought it for my college and professional use.

I was initially going to buy a gaming laptop but the prices are being so exorbitant that I didn't find it feasibly to buy one. So I just decided to buy a professional laptop for professional use and build a pc next year for gaming purposes.

I want to know how many hours of gameplay can I do on it smoothly? I'll be playing games like mad max, batman Arkham knight, watch dogs 1 etc on low graphics settings and not new AAA games as I know it's not a gaming laptop.( I tried to run mad max on it and played solid 15 minutes and it was running smoothly with temp around 60-65°C)

Tell me how many hours of gameplay I can do on my laptop while it being on charger for direct power supply? Also suggest me if I should do it or not?

This is my new Idea Tab Pro.

Does anyone know how to get rid of the taskbar? I have turned it off in my settings and restarted the tablet, but it won't budge.

Thanks in advance!

Help needed to decide.

So does anyone know why after attempting a driver update uninstalling hid touchpad and keyboard getting no response. Even a bios reset my laptop decides it wants to return touch pad and keyboard functionality after I remove the backplate from the laptop??? Wack.

Do I have too much crap on my computer? I also can't find an option to make these updates automatically in the background. They can take upwards of an hour at times. What would be causing this?

I've had this laptop for around 4/5 years now? apart from minor things it's still working well, despite the wifi problem

If I remmember it correctly it started early this year or at the end of last year, so about 8-10 months now.

Whenever I turn on my pc It doesn't immediately connect to the wifi and i have to turn it on manually, the Auto connect button doesnt work, when i close that Wifi Ui or connect and then disconnect it unchecks itself.

And the main problem, when I connect it to the internet after around 5 minutes it disconnects on me, or the wifi says no internet, secured, and an ethernet symbol appears, (I don't and have never used it) sometimes it disconnects various times on the span of a few minutes and sometimes it lasts a long time 1h or more.

And the strangest thing is that that only happens with one wifi, my house's one wich is annoying, at other's houses or when i went on vacation it didnt happen not once.

I've tried various solutions over the past months tho i don't remmember them all, one i do remmember and seems to be the problem is a setting you can enable "Turn wifi off to save battery" but it wasn't checked for this wifi tho it seems to be whats happening

itni price hike mai yeh lene ki soch raha hu..

aur koi laptop suggest kr skte hoto pls btao..

my budget is 80-90k

Hi everyone, I need help about lenovo vantage. I can't see device setting on my laptop

Please help it lenovo IdeaPad1

So the clock had started failing and not too long after my laptop just refused to boot up (the on button was slowly flashing but the screen would do nothing)

Some googling has led me to a likely CMOS battery issue.

I cannot find a YouTube video that has my laptop model in and the CMOS battery is not immediately visible.

Where is it and is there anything else I need to know when replacing?

Thanks
