Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5 is stuck in tablet mode.
Hi, I see your Ideapad Flex 5 is stuck in tablet mode. You've already checked the basics—restarting, enabling/disabling rotation lock, running a SFC scan, and updating drivers. If that doesn’t help, try resetting the device settings or checking for firmware updates from the manufacturer’s website. Let me know what you try next!
It seems there might be a device sensor that indicates whether the screen is in tablet or laptop mode. I think this sensor could have stopped working correctly, causing it to always report as tablet. You might try gently moving the sensor and screen back and forth, but it’s likely best to take it to a repair shop for fixing or replacing it. Also, check the drivers—an update might have affected this feature. Rolling back some recent updates could help. Good luck!
Apologies for the delayed response—I overlooked this discussion completely. It seems the issue might be related to Windows settings since the device didn’t switch to tablet mode after entering BIOS. Thanks!
