Lenovo Ideapad 3 Keyboard Driver
Norine Wiltshire
I have a Lenovo Ideapad s145 laptop running the Sway window manager. Whenever I suspend to ram and then wake my computer up, the window manager does not receive any input from my keyboard, touchpad, or mouse. The system is not frozen; it reconnects to wifi and then shows the wifi icon, for example. It just won't respond to user inputs except for the magic sysrq commands.
If I disconnect the mouse and plug it back in again, the mouse (but not keyboard or touchpad) starts working again. Using the mouse, I can log out from my Sway session and be returned to the console (tty 1), and at this stage my keyboard starts working again: I can log in at the console, which automatically logs me in to a new Sway session where all my input devices are working perfectly.
Update
I can fix the keyboard and USB mouse problem by restarting them with a script run after every resume from suspend, as detailed in my replies below. That doesn't fix the touchpad, but it's now working well enough for me to mark this issue as solved. Of course, I'd still be grateful if anyone could suggest a way to restart the touchpad as well -- or better yet, fix the root cause of the problem.
This resets my keyboard driver, which seems to fix the problem with my keyboard. Strangely enough, it also seems to fix my mouse problem about 30% of the time (and for the other 70%, I just have to pull out the USB plug and reinsert it to get my mouse working properly). My touchpad, however, still doesn't work after returning from suspend.
I'm not sure if I should mark this post as solved, since I'd still like to find some way of fixing my mouse and touchpad as well -- ideally something that addresses the root cause of the issue. I think my mouse driver is `is xhci_hcd`, but that driver seems to be pre-compiled into my kernel and I don't know how to reset it. And I have no idea what my touchpad driver is.
To make this script run after resuming from suspend, we can use a systemd service. Let's say that the script above is at /usr/local/bin/reset-input-devices.sh. Now we need to create a service file in the /etc/systemd/system/ directory -- let's call it /etc/systemd/system/reset-input-devices-after-sleep.service. It should look like this:
I had the same problem on Lenovo ideapad 700 15isk both Ctrl keys not working.It is no BIOS or software problem, it's hardware.I fixed mine by opening the lid, tacking off the battery, disconnecting the keyboard, and putting a piece of paper 1 mm tick on the keyboard cable to keep pressure.It worked, if it doesn't work try trimming half a mm 1/2 mm from the keyboard cable.That works as well....

Also if Win 10 is installed try starting in safe mode to see if the problem occurs. The screen will look different when it is in safe mode as the specific video drivers aren't installed only basic ones. This is normal
In safe mode only "generic' Windows drivers are installed and although usually there are no specific keyboard drivers installed in normal mode sometimes specific touchpad manufacturer's drivers are. Again this is just to eliminate possible conflicts to try and narrow down what may be happening.
yo tenia el mismo problema y la solucion fue cambiar el disco duro a una m.2 de 500gb e instalar nuevamente el sistema windows en el disco m.2 .... la solucion parece fuera de lugar pero a mi me funcion espero ser de ayuda
As I debugged the updates, the bug comes when I get the Lenovo advantage program to control the battery mode after they merged it with the Lenovo app settings which were working smoothly with my device.
Outdated or incompatible drivers will result in keyboard errors, make sure to download thelatest driver and update the software on a regular basis. Download Driver Booster toauto-updateall your drivers to the latest version and fix Windows system issues in an ever faster andeasier manner.
It your machine's USB ports are still usable, suggest you try connect with external cable keyboard and cable mouse before pressing power button.
After those external devices can be detected, proceed the installation and then we can troubleshoot within Windows 10 UI later on.
Once you have the Windows 10 logic, go to Lenovo website to download their latest device driver and test.
Good Luck.
I just had this same issue. I chose to do a reset of a Lenovo mini and mouse and keyboard wouldn't work at the set up portion. Works in Bios though.
Anyway, the solution for me was to install windows from a USB drive.
I had same problem. My System LenovoM91p. I tried to reset my windows 10. when its booting, my mouse and keyboard working fine in bios settings, but when its trying to install Windows 10. On first screen, i dont have access to keyboard and mouse. Any suggestions?
I have Lenovo and I had the same problem once. Your Mouse can not be used but keyboard can be. To use the keyboard you have to used the tab to move and at last to select terms and conditions you have to experiment with numbers and + - anything. Do experimentation. If you have problems type anything and experiment. Good Luck
Sometimes you don't want your laptop's keyboard to take inputs. This is usually because you're plugging in an external keyboard, either because the built-in one is broken or you just want a larger typing space with a full-sized keyboard.
However, since the keyboard is an integral part of your portable computer, disabling its primary input method is a little tricky. Here, we show you how to temporarily and permanently disable the laptop keyboard on Windows 10 and 11.
After the restart, your laptop keyboard will stop working. If you need to install the correct driver again to enable the keyboard, right-click on the keyboard device and select Update driver. Next, select Search automatically for drivers. Windows will look for a compatible driver and install it.
Alternatively, select Browse my computer for drivers in the Update Drivers dialogue. Next, select Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer. Make sure the Show compatible hardware option is enabled. Select an HID Keyboard Device driver from the list and click Next.
That said, apart from the hardware issues, your laptop keyboard can act up for many other reasons. To fix your keyboard, check for pending driver updates, use the built-in troubleshooter, or simply disable the individual keys.
You can scan for driver updates automatically and install them manually with the free version of the Lenovo Mouse / Keyboard Driver Update Utility, or complete all necessary driver updates automatically using the premium version.
Click the Update button next to your driver. The correct version will be downloaded and installed automatically. Or, you can click the Update All button at the bottom to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out-of-date on your system.
To find the latest driver, including Windows 11 drivers, choose from our list of most popular Lenovo Mouse / Keyboard downloads or search our driver archive for the driver that fits your specific Lenovo mouse / keyboard model and your PC's operating system.
After downloading your driver update, you will need to install it. Driver updates come in a variety of file formats with different file extensions. For example, you may have downloaded an EXE, INF, ZIP, or SYS file. Each file type has a slightly different installation procedure to follow. Visit our Driver Support Page to watch helpful step-by-step videos on how to install drivers based on their file extension.
For wireless keyboards, make sure that Bluetooth is enabled and that you can connect to your device in the Settings menu. You can repair a connection by manually disconnecting and reconnecting your device.
When the Device Manager opens, scroll through and expand the Keyboard section. Right-click the keyboard you want to check and select Update driver to check for updates.
If your keyboard has additional keys or controls, custom drivers or software might be needed for the device to work correctly. For example, keyboards from companies like Logitech are supplied with specialized software. Manufacturer software like this will often come with a troubleshooting component to help you fix problems.
The issue could be with the Windows file system. System File Checker or SFC is a Windows utility that checks your local drive for corrupted system files. It restores Windows files with working ones from the directory cache to ensure the PC is working correctly.
The steps above should help you troubleshoot if your Windows 11 keyboard is not working correctly. If not, you may have more serious hardware problems that need to be addressed by a repair technician or may need to reinstall Windows.
Agree with the first comment. Lenovo keyboard not recognized by PC. Plugged it onto a laptop and it works. None of the suggestions above can be accessed. Other usb connected devices are working. Different usb ports tried. Nothin.
After this, you can either let Windows search for drivers or download the latest version of the driver and select the Browse my computer for drivers option to install the driver manually. And if your PC is running low on storage, check out how to free up disk space on Windows 10.
A. One of the easiest ways to know whether or not your laptop has a keyboard backlight is to look at the keyboard itself. If you see any of the symbols by the manufacturer in the screenshots above, then you can enable the backlight.
Suggestion #2
Back light icon is on my F5 key. I can indeed press it and the keyboard back light comes on, press again and It gets brighter, one more time and it turns off . However once turned on it fades out and auto turns itself off after a few seconds. If I take the documents suggestion and hold down the function key and hit F5 I get the Find & Replace function.
