FAQs

What should I do if my computer stops responding

Press and hold the power button until the computer turns off. Then restart the computer.

What should I do if I spill liquid on the computer

Carefully unplug the ac power adapter and turn off the computer immediately. The more quickly you stop the current from passing through the computer the more likely you will reduce damage from short circuits.
Attention: Although you might lose some data or work by turning off the computer immediately, leaving the computer on might make your computer unusable.
Wait until you are certain that all the liquid is dry before turning on your computer.
CAUTION:
Do not try to drain out the liquid by turning over the computer. If your computer has keyboard drainage holes on the bottom, the liquid will be drained out through the holes.

Why does my computer start automatically when I open the lid

Your computer may have Flip to Start enabled. Many Lenovo notebook computers include a sensor that can detect the angle at which the lid is opened. When you open the lid, the sensor can detect this behavior. If Flip to Start is enabled, the computer will respond by starting up automatically.

If you don’t like this feature, you can disable it. Flip to Start can be enabled or disabled in the setup utility program for the PC’s firmware.

How can I start my PC from another device?

You can open the Novo button menu, select boot device, and select a device to start your PC.
