• Blue screen when you try to install Windows XP on Intel ThinkPad Edge 520

  Hello

  I have a ThinkPad Edge 520 type 1143-B5G with a clean disk and I need to install Windows XP on it, for reasons of inheritance. I read on the pilot of the technology Intel Rapid store being necessary, but this seems not to apply to the 520, only to 220 and 420. The recommended settings are not available on the 520 (nor is the driver itself), and the driver is listed by n/a for the 520 in the list of drivers of Lenovo. But, I always get a BSOD error just as Windows is starting from the installation DVD, after the DVD instructed all pilots, he can think about.

  Anyone know how to fix this?

  Would BTW - be possible to install XP in a separate partition, main alongside Windows 7, on a drive that already has Windows 7 on it? Or a clean disk is needed for this?

  Kind regards

  Hello and welcome,

  What settings are you looking for?  It seems that there is a problem with the mode of operation of HD.  The E520 BIOS has an option to change the SATA compatibility instead of AHCI mode?  You will not be able to install a version of "Vanilla" of XP without adding the correct AHCI driver or compatibility mode.

  What version of BIOS do you have?  I see this rather cryptic reference in the BIOS 1.20:

  "[Fixes problem] problem reading/writing data to the SATA compatibility mode."

  It is possible to dual-boot XP and 7, but the best way to do is to install XP first and then let the 7 Installer put in place the configuration dual-boot.  You would still have the problem of compatibility (IDE) vs AHCI mode.

  Ah, lookinng a little further, there is a driver AHCI for XP in Lenovo driver matrix.  The readme file includes instructions on installation.

• Keyboard comes out on my new Thinkpad Edge

  My wife has just received its new Thinkpad Edge (0196-26U 13 "screen, Intel processor, matte black). While not as energetic as our boosted T61 or T400, it is much lighter and adapts to its needs.

  Most of the keys on the keyboard feels good, but our model seems to have a flaw. The upper right corner of the keyboard tray pops out regularly. I can click it back in but there is a visible bulge and with a slight flex of the body it comes out back. In addition, the right side of the END key is depressed compared to the rest of the keys.

  I provide Lenovo today to inquire about a replacement part.

  Anyone else having this problem?

  Received the replacement keyboard today (the day after). It was a simple swap out. The original was clearly misrepresented in the upper right. The replacement unit has a millimeter to give in the same corner, but the framework comes out with an audible 'click'. Not perfect but does not interfere with my typing.

  The keyboard is attached to the frame by tabs at the front and two screw centered on a third of the way left and right. This keeps most of the keyboard firmly in place, especially in the middle where you press the small head of gum. The corners are only kept pressed by the rigidity of the frame of the keyboard. Thus, given any incompatibility with the chassis, there got to be some give.

  That's life I guess.

• ThinkPad Edge S430 Sata 6 Gbit/s or 3 Gbps?

  Hello world

  I wonder if the internal SATA (not mSATA) port of the Thinkpad Edge S430 is a 6 Gbps port or 3 Gbps?

  Because internal 500 GB HDD is a Hitachi Travelstar Z7K500, which is normally a Sata 6 Gbps drive HARD, but said CrystalDiskInfo it only works in Sata 3 Gb/s modus.

  I know that the HARD drive is not fast enough to get out SATA 3 Gb/s max even when, but I want to replace by a SSD's SATA 6 GB/s HARD drive.

  So the question is why is the HARD drive works in SATA 3 gb/s modus. The jury only supports SATA 3 gb/s, or the OEM Version of the drive HARD Hitachi only does support SATA 3 gb/s?

  Has anyone replaced the HDD with a SSD already?

  Kind regards

  Bay drive HARD internal for S430 is 6 Gbps.

• ThinkPad Edge E531 cannot boot from CD

  Hello

  just got my new Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E531.

  At the moment I'm not able to boot from the CD, it will always start the preinstalled Windows 8.

  I tried the F12 method to select a boot device different at startup where I can see the DVD RAM drive installed and select it, but no effect that he immediately returned to the selection screen.

  I played with the various BIOS affecting disabling secure boot option and change the boot order so that the DVD drive is the first. Then the system will look for the CD (you can hear it when you start spinning upwards), but will start in Windows 8 right afterwards.

  I checked with different bootable CD as well as DVD but still the same effects.

  What Miss me? All other BIOS or Windows 8 settings I need to change for it.

  I have other laptops Lenovo run like the X 230, the T520 or an old T61 where boot from CD never seems to be a problem.

  As the DVD drive works properly in Windows 8, I guess it works in general and should not be destroyed.

  Any help is very appreciated!

  Thanks in advance.

  See you soon...

  Hello and welcome,

  Have you tried also to change the startup mode of UEFI to legacy?

• ThinkPad Edge E330 WiFi turn off

  Hello everyone

  I have Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E330. I run on Ubuntu. Laptop was connected to the Wifi thw and was on the sector without battery. When I put the battery unplugged AC and portable opend my wifi stoped working. It is said: Wifi is disabled by the hardware switch. The problem is that this model does not have any material pass over her body. I tried a lot of things:

  -Load default in BIOS

  -Reinstall Ubuntu completely

  -Search in ubuntu forums

  Thank you for the help

  Hello elFilipko,

  exactly the same thing happened to me today and it's how I managed to fix it:

  1. I downloaded four Windows drivers as described here (tthere first of all one of the links is not active more so I downloaded this driver in its current version of support.lenovo.com - Lenovo Power Management Driver for Windows 8).

  2. I installed all the drivers on my Windows 8 (I have dual boot - Win 8 and Ubuntu).

  3. after restarting the computer and reboot back to Windows, I pressed F9 to enter parameters related to a Wi - Fi (you may have to press Fn + F9, depending on your settings). After pressing this button, a small window with the parameters related to a Wi - Fi should appear in the middle of the screen (as far as I know, this special window appears only with the version of Windows 7 these drivers, so it is necessary to uninstall and reinstall versions of Windows 8 drivers in my case). In this little window, I disabled the plane and WiFi mode on.

  4. after step 3, it seems that nothing has changed, but just after the restart of Ubuntu, the Wi - Fi was on and working.

  I think a similar solution might work in your case also, just install Win 7 or 8 Win and try it.

  Best regards.

• ThinkPad Edge E540: Compatible memory

  Hey,.

  Is there a memory compatible with Thinkpad Edge E540 list?

  I want to get either Crucial or Gskill, but don't know what games of these manufacturers module is compatible with the E540.

  In looking at DDR3 1.35 and 1.5V memory sets with 2 x 4 GB sticks

  Just a reminder that you must use 1.35v memory with CPU Haswell (ix-4xxx). HASWELL will not take 16 GB sticks.

  Other than that, anything DDR3-1333 and above should work.

• Driver needed XP for Ati Radeon HD 4250 (Thinkpad Edge 14 - model 019923u)

  Hello, I have downgraded from Windows 7 to Xp and I have trouble finding the driver for the video card.

  The laptop is a Thinkpad Edge 14 - model 019923u.

  Does anyone know the correct driver for this model?

  Thank you

  Try DRIVERMAX. I had a PC that had no XP drivers. This program found and installed the drivers in XP and had it work. What it does is find a driver for this type of Board/CPU/GPU/webcam/USB card or sound.

  Here are the directions out of my head that I remember best:

  • 1 when you load first it (after it index and askes register you), place the mouse on driver downloads and information, click on start the drivermax agent.
  • 2 loading the agent to ensure that its on the 2nd tab updated. If the (part your will install) shows here then select it and then click Download. Click on the 2nd show updates for only selected updates option.
  • 3 now it will go to the site and show you the pilot/s available. I always choose the driver top list. Click the link to download next to her. Click on continue free user. Make sure that you opened with drivermax and not save on the pc.
  • 4 it will then download and let you know when it is ready to be installed. Another thing if the driver (for what your need) does not appear here, then click on the identity of unknown material below start the agent on-screen main drivermax. Then do the same to download and install it.

  There are also clips Youtube how to use DRIVERMAX. See you soon! Hope this works for you.

• Glimmer of hope ThinkPad Edge 13 LCD

  Hello world

  I just got my ThinkPad Edge 13 Friday and am really pleased with the look, the feel and performance. However, it is a small (maybe 5 x 5 pixels) light spot on the LCD screen, on the left side in the middle. Just to be clear: it is not a dead or stuck pixel, but a brighter patch.

  This type of damage is caused by applying pressure on the back or the front of the screen, or it may be a manufacturing defect (which is probably the case here since this is a brand new laptop). I checked if it's maybe caused by a raised keyboard, but this probably isn't the case because it seems that everything is installed perfectly.

  I was wondering if I can get the laptop / screen LCD replaced and if I need to contact the reseller or Lenovo (I'm located in the Netherlands)?

  I want office dealers today and replaced the laptop. No problem at all.
