Robert, I don't know how much of this is software and how much of it is hardware (or maybe a combination of both) but consider this: I got the U300S in approx November of 2011, by February of 2012 the hard drives had died and had to be replaced. In approx September of 2012, the t-key issue had spr

precision: my comment above is not clear enough, apologies. 1. removing the partial lists didn't "solve" the warning message, but removing all the lists did. 2. shouldn't one expect that "purge"-ing muon would remove these lists? 3. after purging, cleaning, installing again, then removing the li

Update on my previous report: Draining the battery (the old fashioned way) worked for me. All my keys came back, even the letter t. However, within a few hours, the problem returned. And here is what I believe happens: Recall that I have a dual-boot windows-kubuntu. The problem occurred after I di

In my previous comment I seem to have mixed up the bios references 56cn43ww and 56cn38ww, I have flashed back and forth several times between them to no avail. Does anyone know of another bios? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to U

I have just joined the club. I've had my Lenovo U300S for nearly a year now and only yesterday, for the first time, have I experienced the bug. I have a dual-boot windows/ubuntu. The bug is definitely in the bios since it affects both os. In my case, the letter t is remapped to F9 (because I'm on d
