Factory settings Resinstalling when blue Thinkvantage button does not work

Last year, I panicked when I thought I had a virus. Rather than rely on my own multiple back-up system, I guess someone knew more about computers that I do and let someone else in my computer. My X 60 has not worked properly since. The Thinkvantage button does not work, and it is hit and Miss as to if I can get the thinkvantage functions to work. My wireless radio buttons don't work at all, and the indicator wireless lights turn on and turns off at will.

I tried to reinstall the application and the update of all implement the Lenovo site, but nothing worked, so I think I'll have to reinstall the orginal factory settings and start over again to clarify these issues.

I backed up all my data, and made discs (just in case) recovery... now my question is, how do I start to "rescue and recovery" / 'reinstall factory settings' when the blue button does nothing when I push at the start?

(Works under XP - if that makes a difference).

Thank you

Problem solved.

I managed to get into Rescue and Recovery manually and found that I had a backup on my C drive that existed prior to my problems. I just restore to that date and "presto!" the blue button works again!

I'll have to spend the rest of the day, re-installing everything that has been added or upgraded from a year, but this simple step seems to have solved my problem. Who would have thought that I had a copy of backup to disk C - I thought I backed everything up to an external drive!

Tip for any staff of Lenovo, reading this - if your security people knew more about Thinkvantage program, I could have solved this problem months ago - these are them who sent offshore to find updates to day and re - install Thinkvantage to try to get the blue button works again.

Thank you all.

  • Volume up button does not work like the shutter of the camera

    I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 9.2.1 (13D 15). The volume up button does not work on it like a camera shutter. I think that it used for, and iPhone to my wife 6 with the same iOS version works fine. It is a problem, because I am using this phone with a stick of selfie, which triggers photos by simulating the volume press up button, so it doesn't work at all for me. The physical button works - I can control the volume with her settings. And when I try to use the stick selfie, I get the volume until the display on the phone, so I can see that the signal of the selfie stick is received correctly by the phone. And the stick of selfie works with my other phone that is not a problem with the volume up button.

    Work began after restarting the phone. So it's a bug to Apple report, the solution is to reboot the phone.

  • My mute button does not work

    The button does not work everytime I try to put my phone on silent. I turn it down and it will automatically return to the sound, it activates again upward. What can I do?

    Hello Jackie101foever,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    As I understand it, you can't silence your iPhone.  I have a suggestion that should help you with this.

    The first thing we want to do is to make sure that you have a current backup of everything on your iPhone.  If you follow this link, you will find instructions on how to make a backup:

    The backup of your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

    If the silent button moves upward on its own, so you must do this checked by a service representative.  You can find the nearest one by looking here:

    Find locations

    If the button is stay down, but do not silence the iPhone then we want to restore all settings.

    Reset preference files resets all parameters that may be problems. This step will not delete your contacts, photos or personal information. It deletes all your preferences for Wi - Fi, Bluetooth, do not disturb, Notifications, general, sounds, brightness & wallpaper and privacy and removes your Touch ID & password.

    Do you this by clicking on settings > general > reset > reset all settings.

    Once you have done this, restart the iPhone and see if you are able to turn off the sound.

    Have a great day!

  • Firefox automatically updated itself, would not add new bookmarks, then deleted all mine, will not always add new, now the back button does not work. I'm Livid.

    I think I'm on Firefox 13.0. He put itself as part of the update of my computer up to date (at least I guess that's what happened, because it has changed). I noticed yesterday that he would not favorite Web sites, but I thought it was just the website or bookmarks have been full-time or something. Today, I tried to remove a few bookmarks to make more, but they would not remove. I tried to register a new site, and it wouldn't work. I tried to close/exit firefox and re-opening of the program. While the program was closed, I installed the next set of updates on my computer. When I have opened firefox, all my favorites, and the tab menu (or what you call personal small bar on the actual tabs) were gone. I can't always favorite of new sites, so I can't even re-do all my favorites (and I got a lot, all of them arranged so it's a big loss and incredibly annoying). Then I realized that the back button does not work. And the cursor remains on the typing that I symbol, it does not change the arrow, when I click on a link.

    One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

  • "Back" button does not work with the latest version of any help?

    Hi, I use the latest version. When I go through the pages, I can not be able to return to previous pages. The back button does not work. When I click the back button, the same page, it's not coming back... Any help would be much appreciated!

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

    You can click right back or front button to open the history list.

    You can hold down the left button of the mouse either back or next to the history tab list opens.

    The current active entry has a bullet in front of it.



    If you place an entry in the historic session with the mouse tab, so you see an arrow to the left pointing (rear) left or right (forward) to show the direction.

    You can left click on an item to open it in the tab active or middle-click or Ctrl, click on an entry in this list to open that link in a new tab, just as you can with the other links.

  • "back" button does not work and the home page does not display on startup

    My buttons next and previous no longer work. They show just gray and I cannot click on them.
    Also my home page does not appear when I launch firefox.
    I reinstalled firefox 4 and then I went back to firefox 3.6.16 and have the same problem in both versions.
    Don't know what to do anymore
    I just found out that when I opened a second window everything works well in the second window, but it still does not work in the first window.
    The same thing happens when I close both windows. The first window of my home page does not appear and the back button does not work, but the second window is operating normally. Including my home page.

    I don't understand what the problem is. My left mouse button does not work. If I put a little pressure on the Panel located under the button space then the left button of the mouse works.

    What should I do? It feels like a hardware problem, since I bought the laptop in November my laptop is still covered by the warranty.

    What you can do is to check the touchpad settings and make sure that everything is OK.
    I'm don't know if you noticed this since day 1, but if you think it is hardware problem I recommend you contact the nearest Toshiba service provider as soon as possible. Warranty will cover all repair costs.

  • The jump button does not work on iPhone

    Skip to the next song button does not work on iPhone. When you press the jump key, instead of going to the next track or shuffle to the next song, he repeats / restarts the track that is currently playing. Even when the song ends, it starts all over. It's like all my songs are stuck on repeat. The only way to change a song is by manually choosing a different, or by manually typing the shuffle button. Everything worked great yesterday. I asked several of my friends to check my conclusions, and they have confirmed the same questions. If anyone knows how to fix this help please.

    Hello Gus87,

    I understand that your iPhone seems to be stuck playing the same song, regardless of your attempts to move to the next track. This may be due to the function "Repeat" enabled in the current reading on your iPhone screen.

    • Control playback. Tap a song to play and show the Miniplayer. Tap the Miniplayer to display the now playing screen, where you can do the following:

    Repeat steps. Press on to repeat an album or a playlist. Double click to repeat one piece.

  • Re: Satellite L655 - the Touchpad on/off button does not work

    This morning, I noticed that the power button of the touchpad of my Satellite does not, although the Fn + F9 key combination works by enabling and disabling my touchpad.

    It was working well until what I slept last night when I woke up, my laptop has rebooted due to updates of Windows during the night. I don't read anything since I have been using a wireless mouse. Then reach work and check if I can activate my touchpad (Windows has loaded and connected), the display screen that shows if the touchpad is active or not does not appear and my touchpad, power button does not work.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Is this problem only you?
    I mean it's not so important, and I would not reinstall or change anything because of this.
    Until you can use the FN + F9 key combination I put t think it's a serious problem.
