I have two Lenovo Yoga C940-14IIL laptops whose built-in keyboard and touchpad go dead the moment Windows finishes loading, and the on-screen touch keyboard responds as well. I chose “Laptop Repair Troubleshooting” because I suspect the fault sits somewhere between Windows drivers, HID services, or a lingering tablet-mode flag rather than a physical failure, but I need someone who can confirm or disprove that quickly. So far I have: • rolled back recent Windows updates and drivers • tried forcing the machine out of tablet mode • confirmed the devices are enabled in BIOS Beyond that, I’m not sure whether the OS is fully up to date, and I haven’t dug into every keyboard/trackpad setting inside Windows. The job – Connect remotely (I can provide AnyDesk or your preferred secure tool). – Diagnose and restore normal keyboard and touchpad operation in Windows on one machines – Document the exact steps or driver packages you use so I can repeat the process on the other. Including steps to keep from recurring. Acceptance criteria • Built-in keyboard and touchpad respond in Windows without needing external peripherals. • Clear, step-by-step notes delivered. The laptops are worth about $300 each, so I’ve capped the effort at $50 total; if that sounds fair and you’re confident you can pin this down—whether it’s a stubborn driver, HID service, or a Windows corruption—let’s set up the remote session and get started. Note, I cannot spend a length time at the laptop with you.

Hi, I reviewed the project and understand that both Lenovo Yoga C940 laptops lose their built-in keyboard, touchpad, and on-screen touch keyboard when Windows finishes loading. I can remotely diagnose whether the cause is Windows drivers, HID services, tablet-mode settings, or Windows corruption on one machine. I’ll use Troubleshooting and System Analysis to inspect Windows updates, device status, HID services, keyboard and touchpad settings, tablet-mode flags, and relevant driver packages through secure remote access. After restoring normal operation, I’ll provide clear Technical Support notes with the exact steps and recurrence-prevention guidance for the second laptop. I’ll keep the session focused because your time at the laptop is limited, while maintaining clean documentation and responsive communication. Let’s discuss here now.

I can jump on via AnyDesk and resolve this for you within your $60 budget. My first step will be targeting the sensor services and fixing the filter drivers in Device Manager, such as replacing the corrupted I2C HID driver or toggling the Yoga mode flags. Once the keyboard and touchpad are responding normally on the primary laptop, I will send you clear, simple notes detailing the fix and how to lock down Windows Updates so it does not revert. Send over your AnyDesk ID whenever you are ready, and I will get straight to work without taking up much of your time.

Posso diagnosticare rapidamente perché keyboard e trackpad del Lenovo Yoga C940 smettono di funzionare appena Windows carica, e ripristinare il funzionamento senza interventi hardware. Ho esperienza con problemi legati a driver HID, servizi Input, conflitti Modern Standby, modalità tablet bloccata, e corruzioni nei pacchetti Lenovo/Intel. Durante la sessione remota (AnyDesk o altro), eseguirò: • Verifica servizi HID, I/O e Modern Standby • Pulizia driver e reinstallazione pacchetti Lenovo/Intel corretti • Controllo flag tablet‑mode, firmware e impostazioni Windows • Test immediato del funzionamento dopo reboot • Documentazione chiara dei passaggi per replicare la soluzione sul secondo laptop Obiettivo: tastiera e trackpad funzionanti nativamente in Windows, senza periferiche esterne, più istruzioni per evitare che il problema ritorni. Il budget da 50 USD è ok e posso iniziare subito.

Hi there, Since your built-in keyboard and touchpad work in the BIOS, the hardware is completely fine. On the Lenovo Yoga C940 series, this specific issue is almost always caused by corrupt drivers or the Lenovo Mode Control (YMC) service falsely reporting a 360-degree flip, which prompts Windows to disable physical input devices. I accept your $50 fixed budget and can handle this completely hands-off so you don't need to sit at the computer during the session. How We'll Get This Fixed: Quick Connect: I can remote into device using TeamViewer or Quick Assist, and you're free to step away. Driver & Service Repair: Repair/reinstall the drivers that route input signals to Windows. Re-align the Lenovo Mode Control and sensor filter services to force the system out of stuck tablet mode. Reset corrupt Human Interface Device (HID) class filters in Device Manager. Prevention Step: Lock down the working OEM drivers via policy settings to prevent Windows Update from replacing them in the future. Handoff & Documentation: Test full operation and send you a simple, step-by-step SOP so you can fix the second machine in 10 minutes. Proposal Summary: Fixed Price: $50.00 Turnaround: 1 – 2 hours

Hello, I can work within your $50 total budget and start with a focused remote diagnosis rather than reinstalling Windows or making unnecessary changes. My background includes hands-on notebook repair, Windows troubleshooting, driver installation/recovery and hardware/software diagnostics. Since the keyboard and touchpad are available before Windows loads, I would investigate the Windows-side input chain first, including HID/I2C devices and drivers, Lenovo/Intel components, related services, power management and Yoga/tablet-mode detection. I would also verify whether Windows corruption or an update is contributing to the issue. Before any change requiring a restart, I will make sure remote access can reconnect and that we have a recovery path available. I will work on one laptop and provide clear step-by-step documentation of the successful procedure so it can be reproduced on the second machine, including recurrence-prevention steps where applicable. If testing points to firmware or hardware instead, I will document that clearly rather than claiming a software fix. I can start immediately. Regards, Sergio

Hi, I manage Windows endpoints and infrastructure across more than 300 workstations. Since the keyboard and touchpad work in BIOS but fail when Windows loads, an OS, driver, HID service or sensor-mode issue is plausible. I would confirm that systematically instead of guessing. For $50 I can run one focused remote diagnostic session on the first Yoga C940, apply the appropriate corrective action and document the exact steps or driver packages for the second machine. Before we connect: Do USB input devices still work inside Windows, and have you already tested the built-in keyboard and touchpad in Safe Mode? Best, Tobias
