I have a 5 years old 1st gen Lenovo Yoga with Windows 8 64-bit.
These last days, I started experiencing problems such as:
- Keyboard and power button did not allow to get the computer out of sleep
- Laptop shuts off randomly and/or right after unplugging power cable
- Keyboard, trackpad, power button and closing the laptop become inactive and I have to force stop
- Sometimes, the keyboard becomes inactive and 2 seconds later, the computer turns itself off, but not always
- Surprisingly enough, if I use a wireless USB keyboard, I don't encounter the problem, but if I start using the laptop keyboard, the problem of inactive keyboard/trackpad/power button comes after a minute or so
- Wireless external mouse remains active when keyboard/trackpad/power button become inactive
To be noted as well:
- Windows 8 was never reinstalled in 5 years, but I'm generally very careful with what I install
- Laptop did not experience a shock or humidity recently
- A Windows update was announced a couple of days before these problems started and the computer started having these problems before I restarted to let the update be installed
- I visited some torrent website and had a couple of warnings from my anti-virus, I just left it scan itself
- I was in Iran recently, which is notorious for viruses
- The battery has a good autonomy
What I already tried:
- Check if keyboard and trackpad are allowed to get computer out of sleep in Device manager
- Reset "Balanced" plan in Power options
- Thoroughly clean fan area and keyboard with an air compressor
- Run full anti-virus system scan
- Tried Windows repair tool
Does that ring a bell?
Thanks
