- The final approval hearing in the Lenovo class action lawsuit settlement has been rescheduled for Feb. 14, 2024.
Lenovo has agreed to a class action lawsuit settlement to end claims it misled consumers to buy certain Yoga and Flex model Lenovo laptop computers with display screen defects.
The Lenovo class action lawsuit settlement benefits people who purchased certain Lenovo laptops within certain date ranges, where the laptops’ display was affected by flickering, freezing, blacking out or non-physical breakage of the display, including a gray screen marked by vertical lines, during ordinary use.
The laptops included in the Lenovo settlement are:
- Lenovo Yoga 730 laptop computer machine type 81CT, 81CU or 81JS, purchased in the United States from Jan. 26, 2018, to April 10, 2023, excluding any laptop computers manufactured after June 19, 2019
- Lenovo Flex 5 laptop computer machine type 81CA purchased in the United States from Aug. 14, 2017, to April 10, 2023, excluding any laptop computers manufactured after June 19, 2019
- Lenovo Flex 5 laptop computer machine types 80XB, 80XA or 81C9, purchased in the United States from March 9, 2017, to April 10, 2023
The Lenovo settlement only benefits those who bought the laptops for personal use, not for resale.
The Lenovo class action lawsuit alleged the company violated consumer laws by misleading consumers about the presence of a display defect that caused flickering and freezing screens in some Lenovo laptops. The plaintiffs said consumers would have made different purchasing decisions if they had known about the defect.
The company denies the allegations and has agreed to the Lenovo laptop settlement to end the claims.
Lenovo is a Fortune Global 500 technology company that employs more than 63,000 employees to serve customers in 180 markets. Its 2022 revenue was more than $71 billion.
Under the terms of the Lenovo settlement, the company has agreed to provide either a one-time free repair of the affected laptops or a one-time payment of $100 to compensate every class member who submits a claim form by Jan. 3, 2024.
To be eligible for the one-time payment, all eligible class members must provide proof of purchase/receipt/invoice or other documentation sufficient to show they purchased one of the defective laptops, as well as their laptop serial number and a statement that their laptop is suffering from the defect.
If a Lenovo laptop settlement class member has already had the laptop display defect repaired, Lenovo will compensate them for the amount spent on the repair up to $100, so long as they submit a timely claim form, provide evidence of the purchase of the laptop, serial number, a statement attesting to the display issues and evidence of the repairs.
The deadline to opt out of or object to the Lenovo Yoga and Flex laptop screen class action lawsuit settlement is Aug. 21, 2023.
A final approval hearing in the Lenovo settlement will take place Feb. 14, 2024.
The deadline to submit a claim in the Lenovo laptop settlement is June 19, 2024.

Ad me please
My Y50-70 had this defect in 2015 we spent over$200 at my son’s college computer store getting it “fixed”. It didn’t do one bit of good. Now Lenovo is still going to get away with this ****.
Add me
I bought on 11/08/2019 and still own a Lenovo IdeaPad L340-series. This laptop has given me trouble for the last year or two. It won’t let me use some of my programs as well as blocking portions of the screen on Facebook without a solution to fix both problems. I don’t know if it qualifies for the Class Action suit.
I have more of a question than a comment.. would I still qualify for this settlement if I purchased my laptop from a private party? At the time of purchase the laptop was still very new and had not yet shown evidence of the defect, however, it was only a month after I bought it that it did. I also was the one who paid to have my screen repaired and I still own this laptop currently. I can also provide a bill of sale written by the seller as well as proof of the repairs and everything else in the required documentation. I believe the original owner mentioned that he bought the laptop new from Best Buy, and then I bought it from him after responding to an ad on Offer Up. Do I qualify to submit a claim in this instance?
This is NOT news to me. I paid a hefty price for a Lenovo Think Pad 5 years ago received a highly defective laptop and a whole lot of excuses, grief and headaches as a result. Lenovo refused to replace it, instead insisting it would be repaired and as time stretched on it only got worse. I was eventually informed that I had to wait however long it took for more defective lapops of the same model to be returned so a USED screen could be salvaged to replace the defective screen on my FULL PRICE laptop! Meanwhile, I was “lucky” to have my old (outdated) one to use while I would ne taking a huge financial loss and waiting indefinitely for the return of a Lenovo Think Pad that was cobbled together from used parts. I could go on with even more insults to both my intelligence and my wallet, but I have submitted this information once already and been totally ignored! In our house we regularly remind everyone we know of our nightmares and refer to them as “The HELLZ-NO-vo Episodes.”
I have a Yoga 7
