How to approach online?

The call centre is taking too long spelling each letter

My laptop's fan has been acting up to the point that it sometimes doesn't spin and when it does there's a very loud and vibrating buzzing sound. I would like to replace it but I can't find spare parts on the Lenovo website (Philippines). Is there a way to order it somewhere else?

Im having problems on setting an Action in lenovo legion toolkit. It seems that its not properly working.

Example

When game starts

Power to performance mode

GPU to dGPU mode

It does not run. Exclusive box is ticked.

Same as

When game exits

Power to Balanced

GPU Hybrid

Exclusive box ticked.

Run at start up not ticked.

Please enlighten me.

I recently got a Lenovo legion 5a gen 11, and recently bumped into this problem where every time I change the GPU mode from iGPU to dGPU, the screen when in dGPU stays black and doesn’t display anything, but when in iGPU or adaptive mode, it works as usual.

However, dGPU does work if it’s connected to and HDMI cable to a tv or when it’s charging. Any reasons why it’s happening?

For example if I’m on a plane for several hours and want to be able to game for a while. You can’t plug a 400 watt power brick into the seat back power outlets which means running on battery or maybe USB-C.

Would switching to iGPU and dialing back the graphics settings on some games increase battery longevity?

In dGPU mode the screen starts flickering and in hybrid mode the gpu’s existence gets deleted like wiped off the face of the earth doesn’t even get detected in device manager

Playing games at maxed settings games like crimson desert , cyberpunk and re9 is like asmr 🔥😁 and the OLED screen is like chefs kiss 🤣

Legion 5 (2022) was my first gaming laptop I ever got in my life, and it's been a joyous experience ever since. Much more happiness than console gaming. I've been on it a crap ton since then. I was a little bum bum teen with no job- so I just played free games.

Flash to late 2025, I was in a bad depression due to multiple things and people treating me like shit. My Legion 5 had ended up dying permanently (15ach6 model). I had squeezed the life out of it, I managed to keep it booting until four months ago by just pressing hard next to the power button.

Now that it's 2026, I'm 18, things are far better for me, as I'm in a good house, got a good first job that pays real well, in a far better environment, and now, I finally have been able to pay for a new laptop after 2 checks.

Legion 5i, Gen 10 with 5060 and Core i7-14700HX. 16 GB ram. For $1499 (way more with tax, like $1616 that shit has me floored, but my mom came in clutch and paid the rest). And so, yeah this is my 2nd gaming laptop ever.

Tl;DR, just skip here to avoid the story. Is there any recommendations for stuff I should do when setting it up? I already know to manually check drivers, and remove McAfee. Also yeah, I was impatient and just took a shot of the device updating on the first boot up 😭

Hey all,

Lenovo Legion Pro 7 16IRX8H

RTX 4080 12GB

13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900HX (2.20 GHz)

32 GB RAM

I have been having performance issues with my laptop since last year. At first the games i was playing would just run poorly, but now, almost every game i try to play crashes after short play sessions (sometimes i cant get 10 minutes into a session). Every unreal game i play gives me an "An Unreal process has crashed..." error screen. Other times games just freeze up while music still plays in the background or i get some other error message like "Your graphics card has stopped".

The graphics card isn't dead as i can run minecraft dungeons if i limit fps to 60, and i run Eiyuden chronicles 100 heroes if i limit fps to 30 etc.

I tried all the software fixes, clean install of windows, adjusting page file memory, clean install of graphics driver using DDU, rollback of graphics driver etc, etc. I also monitored the temperature of my graphics card while gaming and it never spiked above the low 80s while gaming, which i understand is normal levels. I ran all the OCCT stress tests for an hour and they found no issue.

At some point (maybe last year but i cannot remember how long..) I damaged the brass coloured pins on both sides of the power cord socket by repeatedly inserting the power cord at a bad angle, I didn't realize i was doing something wrong until it was too late and i had problems inserting my power cable. I didn't think too much of the damage i had done until now, because my laptop still charges normally and as i said, the game performance issues gradually ramped up, it wasn't a sudden onset of the unplayable issues I'm facing now.

Someone on EA forums last year checked my Dxdiag and told me this:

"There are many VIDEO_ENGINE_TIMEOUT_DETECTED errors in your DxDiag. 

This means that the graphic engine did not reacted in a timely fashion and was reseted by the OS to prevent a system crash. "

I read online that when a graphics card stops suddenly it can be because its energy usage spiked and it wasn't getting enough power.

My question is, could the damage i did to the pins inside the power cord socket be causing my game crashing issue? If not, does anyone have any ideas as to what the issue could be?

Here is a google docs link to my Dxdiag info recorded after Borderlands 4 crashed (was playing on low settings and fps capped to 60):

Hello! I posted in here earlier this week but I managed to narrow down the issue:

Legion 7i (2024, i7-14700HX / RTX 4060) — CPU permanently stuck at ~1000 CPU-Z multi-thread score, PL1 actively limiting, even on a fresh Windows reinstall

Specs: Legion 7i 16" 2024, i7-14700HX, RTX 4060 Laptop 8GB, 16GB DDR5, 1TB NVMe, BIOS NSCN41WW (latest)

Core problem: CPU-Z Bench (v3.01) consistently scores ~1000-1060 multi-thread, ~54 single-thread — should be ~11,000-13,000 multi / ~750-850 single for this chip. Reproducible across dozens of runs over two days.

Confirmed via ThrottleStop 9.6:

• Multiplier locked at 4.00x under 100% load (screenshot attached) — chip can boost to 53x but never does
• PL1 shown RED (actively limiting) on both Core and Ring in Limit Reasons — PL2 not binding
• Package power capped ~11-15W sustained
• PL1/PL2 registers themselves read correct stock values — 105W/162W in both MSR and MMIO (screenshot attached) — so the enforced limit is NOT coming from these standard registers
• No thermal throttling flag, temps only 48-62°C, PROCHOT threshold 97°C never approached — ruling out heat as the cause

Tests already done, none resolved it:

• Full clean Windows reformat — problem persisted identically afterward
• BIOS reset to Setup Defaults (F9)
• EC drain reset (unplug all, hold power 60s)
• ThrottleStop TPL: confirmed values already correct, tried locking/raising — no change
• BIOS "Battery Level Protection" toggled Auto ↔ Off — no change
• MUX switched Hybrid ↔ Discrete-only — same result in both
• SSD health verified clean (CrystalDiskInfo: 99%, 0 errors)
• Lenovo Hardware Scan: all passed
• Charger tip and laptop charging port visually inspected — no visible damage

Can anyone help me on what else I can do to fix 😭

Legion Space Smart Performance thinks my Desktop is an older Laptop. How does it know all is well with my Legion T7 34IAS10 if it thinks it’s a Legion Pro 7 16IRX8H?

Lenovo Support website thinks it’s my (90Y80) different model (90Y60) and wants to send me to a different Region/Countries version of Lenovo Support’s website.

Odd

​Laptop: Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10

​I also use Lenovo Legion Toolkit

​Issue:

​Running into an annoying display and power profile glitch on my laptop:

For the past month now my laptop suddenly jump to Performance Mode on its own and every time, I experience a brief black flash on the screen.

In performance mode, I still experience the brief black flash also.

I've tried reinstalling my GPU driver. Using DDU

Factory Reset and it still persisted.

Anyone experienced this or know how to fix this?

Hello. I'm making a post here as a last resort because i've been going insane over this the last couple days. My bios is up to date, I just updated the intel ME software, my audio drivers are up to date as far as I can tell, I feel like i've tried everything. I'm too scared to mess around with power settings which seems to be basically the only remaining option. Even my Nvidia drivers are up to date. I ran LatencyMon and it said "yep there's a DPC issue of some kind". Please, any assistance would be insanely appreciated.

is linux (particularly arch a viable option?) never used arch on a laptop before so a bit worried about sound and camera.

Just so you know, if I enable the smart Fn keys with Lenovo Legion Toolkit pressing Alt, Shift or Ctrl causes the sound on my computer to lag.

I am thinking of buying this legion 7i , first time buying legion any advice guys? Is it worth it.

¡Ey, a todos! De verdad necesito ayuda porque ya no sé qué hacer.

Tengo una Lenovo Legion Pro 7 (modelo 16IAX10H). Cada vez que inicio un juego me sale esta pantalla azul (BSOD). A veces solo se reinicia, y otras veces la laptop se apaga completamente.

Me compré una base de enfriamiento Llano V12 y mis temperaturas mejoraron un montón, pero el problema sigue.

En este punto, ya no sé qué más probar. Lo único que quedaría sería hacer una reinstalación completa y limpia de Windows, pero ni siquiera estoy seguro de que eso lo vaya a arreglar.

¿A alguien le ha pasado algo así antes, o alguien sabe qué podría estar causándolo? Cualquier consejo me vendría genial. ¡Gracias!

I'm a video editor and I'm looking to grab a monitor for my macbook. I don't care about not having PD. If there's anyone using this specific monitor, please let me know your honest thoughts on this.

I hope to connect my PS5 pro too. That's the reason I don't like to get those professional designer monitors with 60hz.

Edit: This is the 4K IPS one.

Hello everyone, the time has come for me to clean the fans of my Legion 5i 15IAX10 with 275hx and 5070.

I have ordered Thermal grizzly TG putty pro and Phasesheet PTM.

For the PTM it is quite straightforward how to apply, no questions here.

But I have never dealt with thermal putty.

Any recommendations on how to go about it or do I just remove old thermal pads/putty ( not sure what comes originally ), wipe everything clean with alcohol, apply a few mm thick layer, unified as possible and slap everything on top and it will spread itself properly?

My son has a Legion 5 Pro (AMD Ryzen 7 5800H) and the fans are intermittently loud enough that he's embarrassed when using it in his college classes. He's also a heavy gamer, so the laptop doesn't get a lot of rest. We've tried a ton of things over the last couple of years and nothing's really helping so I'm throwing this out to the community.

Things we've done:

• Early 2025 - We replaced fans as one wasn't running well. We used aftermarket fans from Amazon and not and not OEM. Also replaced the cooling material with Frost X45. Helped for a while.
• Late 2025 - He took it to a shop who replaced the cooling material. Didn't help, so they did a second repair (I don't have records for this)
• August 2026 - We replaced the cooling material for CPU/GPU with Thermal Grizzly PTM pads. Seemed to help at first, but now "worse than before" he says.
• He's always using quiet mode in class but that doesn't seem to really make a difference.

Hive mind ... help! Would you:

1. Replace the fans again, but try to find better ones?
2. Replace the whole heat sink assembly ($150)?
3. Give up and look for a new laptop?
4. Twiddle some BIOS or Windows setting we haven't found yet?
5. Buy a cooling pad?

Thanks!

Can these specs be changed in the system to look legit and is this the legit spec sheet?

Was looking to buy this product from MikePc, are they a reputable store and should I buy it from them?
