About this app

The Lenovo™ PC Diagnostics 2.0 app is designed to assist users with the display and debug of diagnostic information available on select Lenovo ThinkPad™ models (ThinkPad 13 2nd gen or later) and select ThinkStation™ (models P520, P720, P920). Downloading and launching this application will allow you to acquire the audio tones that are produced by your ThinkPad or ThinkStation when an abnormal or error condition is present. The tones are then translated to a specific error message which will be displayed on your smartphone. The application requires your phone to have an operating system level of Android v12 and above. Operating systems below v4.0.3 will not work with this application.

Ratings and reviews

If you cannot do something properly do not do it! The app doe NOT detect any sound. Kept trying multiple times for nothing and it just annoyed my ears with that loud sound. Why do not just make beep codes instead like HP does and make things easier for us? Absolute worst service and useless app.

As with some others here, mine worked flawlessly, turned on my ThinkPad with the app recording, it picked up the code, told me it was RAM (it was a used motherboard and I hadn't bothered to check if RAM was in it), installed said RAM and problem fixed... still not sure what was wrong with the morse code beeps of the olden days but hey, I guess there's more flexibility with being able to beep out a fully numeric code.

99% of the time, no code is identified. The times it does show a code, it is not an actual code. Double checked permissions. Removed the bottom of the laptop to make the volume even loaded. Tried is an absolutely quiet room. Nothing but add extra frustration is what this app does for me.
