["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yaiza Bailen, as per http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an update to your BIOS is available (1.38). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything?  If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report. As well, you don't have to create a new
bug report.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
