Re: Z370 cycling through volume thermal management buttons
Z370 Lenovo ideapad has started cycling through sound and thermal management automatically without me touching them. Is there any way to stop that or disable them completely?

Hello Lucy12187
Thanks for using the Lenovo forums.
Try a static discharge for this, it may help to resolve the issue or at least get rid of any built up static on the motherboard.
(If the battery is internal, please just skip the remove/replace battery steps.)
1. Turn the unit off
2. Remove the battery and the Mains adapter
3. Press and hold the front power button for 30 seconds
4. Replace the battery and the Mains adapter
5. Turn the unit on as normal
Hope this helps, let us know how you get on.

Well the problem being fixed didn't last long.
I had ordered a new adapter from Amazon thinking that might be the problem and ended up with the exact same adapter. smh. I guess I could order one from lenovo stead of some off brand from china.
I tried the thing about turning off, removing battery, holding the switch 30 seconds then turning back on.... problem came back.
Anyway, what I've done now since I didn't have any staples that i read somewhere that someone taped on their case.... and I read someone had used some foil. I have taped some aluminum foil onto the bottom.
It does seem like it has to do with static electricity from everything I've read.
