So I finally looked up the issue and found it was a hinge problem, and that people had problems with their screens actually cracking, after that anytime I open and closed my laptop I made sure to hold that area tight. It wasn’t until early 2021 (Likely around March.), during flipping my laptop open that I notice the bottom corner of the right side of the screen actually pop out, I could easily pop it back in and I’d just got use to having to do that, it was 1-2 week later and the problem got worse and more worrisome. I got my Yoga 730 15″ back in Apr 11, 2019, 3:28 PM online at Best Buyīack when I originally got it it wasn’t but 1-2 months and these little plastic pieces that cover the hinges popped off, I didn’t think much of it because it didn’t effect how the laptop worked, it just made it look less new then it could have. They also want to represent two Subclasses, one each in Maryland and Missouri. Singh and Cox are seeking the court’s approval to represent a nationwide Class of consumers who, like them, purchased Lenovo Yoga two-in-one computers with allegedly defective hinges.
Lenovo’s Yoga 700- series models – 700, 710, 720 and 730 – are the main subject of the class action lawsuit. Their class action lawsuit accuses Lenovo of violating numerous consumer fraud laws on the state level, in Maryland and Missouri, and federal violations including breach of express and implied warranties, fraudulent concealment and unjust enrichment. The dual-hinge system on the Yoga are key to the two-in-one functionality and Singh and Cox claim theirs broke long before the company advertised they might – but after the one-year warranty offered by Lenovo. Both said they purchased models in Lenovo’s Yoga line of two-in-one computers, which were designed to be used alternately as laptops and tablets, depending on the positioning.
The accusations in the class action lawsuit are being made, according to Blake, “not in a general and conclusory manner, but with at least a baseline level of particularity, alleging that Lenovo knew of the defective hinge system through four sources (durability testing, repair data, replacement data, and consumer reports).”Ĭustomers Neha Singh of Maryland and Sandra Cox of Missouri filed the class action lawsuit in federal court in Washington D.C. Specifically, the consumers who are suing say Lenovo knew their Yoga computers were built with defective hinges before it sold them, information it withheld from the public.
