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.

  • 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.

  • ThinkPad Edge 11 screen bezel

    Hey guys,.

    I recently bought a Thinkpad Edge 11 and I noticed that the upper part of the screen bezel is sitting a little fragile. If you tap on the left and right side of the bezel (just the left and right where the webcam is installed) it makes a rattling noise and whenever I open the laptop until you can hear the bezel, making a noise as the pressure of the lid closed is taken out of it.

    It doesn't look like it is falling apart, but I wondered right on the 'flimsyness.

    Is it something in the normal quality of the Thinkpad Edge or have I received a defective unit? I really don't want to exchange this thing once again, as it is already a replacement machine, I had because of an inadmissible SPACEBAR-. -.

    Best regards

    Oh boy, it really seems to be common on some models of the edge. As I mentioned 2 units in a store more or less has also shown this problem. I get my Edge 11 now and that you will probably look elsewhere.

    Actually, I bought the edge to get a better build quality than similar machines of other brands. And while the base of the unit is made of good quality, the frame of the screen seemed to 'offset' and be rather fragile :/

    And not to mention the space bar does not work on my first 11 Edge. On my replacement system the space bar has also been insensitive on the side far left incidentally, but it was much less than on the first. So I guess it was ^^

    I really hope that Lenovo increases build on the edge quality control! BTW, for a portable small business (like it is advertised) the edge is affordable but any low price compared to the competition (at least in Germany). So I'm expecting a little more quality for my money.

    Best regards

  • Problem of CPU ThinkPad Edge 14

    Hey

    So I had my Thinkpad Edge 14 since the end of last summer.  I keep putting it off, but now it has got to the point where I have enough of him.  Here's my problem:

    I connect my Thinkpad Edge 14 in the charger, which is obviously plugged into an outlet.  Usually, it is while the system is still working, but recently I tried to l ' first.  Now, about 1-2 minutes after I plug the laptop, the processor begins to FREAK OUT.  I put Rainmeter in place so I can keep track of my RAM/CPU/network and others.  So my little graphic of my CPU starts to spike and it goes from 0 %-> 26 %-> 0 %-> 78 %-> 100 %-> 0% and so on and so forth.  This does not happen over time, what is happening at all times.  The CPU just guard jump and fall.  It's killing my performance.  Everything becomes nervous and slow.  Opening a folder or my browser (which should take 2 seconds, if that) now takes about a minute.  Before, I could just turn off my phone and turn it back on, no problem.  Now, I disable and turn it 3 - 4 times and it is always jumping so I just let it stay there until the machine is loaded.  I got used to load just from one day to the next just so I don't have to deal with in the morning.  I don't have any idea what the problem is or how to stop it.  This has also nothing to do with going to Task Manager and ending a few process.  I tried and it does nothing.

    I hope someone can help me with this problem because I have not seen anywhere.  I looked through the Lenovo Web site and got nothing.


  • ThinkPad Edge not charging WITHOUT REASON APPARENTE

    Hello! I have a ThinkPad Edge 15. He had a problem loading the day I bought it. The people I bought it returned to IBM/Lenovo that apparently tight area where the charge lead goes to the PC? (I'm obviously not PC literate, sorry!)

    That has NOT fixed the problem, so when I got my laptop back, I called LEnovo, they sent me a new battery (even though I told them the "Power Manager", said the battery was in good condition) which did nothing. Then they sent me a new charge lead, once again - nada. They sent me a box to return the laptop to them. As I find how to put the laptop in the box, I looked more @ my PC and this is; shone the light that tells you if he is in charge! I never returned - it was last August.

    Last night. I looked @ the loading icon; 15%, no charging current!" Oops! Oh dear, not again! I went to the power manager, everything is fine. All my connections, same verified. Darn it all. I have a business. that is 90% SEARCH! MY PC DIED on me. I called Lenovo, they said - send it us.

    I still had the box since last summer, then he is out. I left the laptop plugged in my thoughts only, something might happen like last summer! HA! This morning I find how to pack, I watch over @ cell phone & guess WHAT! He has been in charge, the light was on. I lit and has right on this Forum to ask questions of you wise and knowledgeable people!

    First: I did what I thought, it was a decent amount of research before buying this laptop Lenovo. (I thought I was buying a ThinkPad Edge E520 - but that's another story) I really thought that "Lenovo" products have a good reputation. Yet, when on this Forum, I read a lot of posts on the problems of charging with the Edge series. What is everything? I buy another computer soon, but is reluctant to even look @ a Lenovo. If I had a case opened last night, I would have been freaked out! This is not acceptable! Lenovo has a good rep, or not?

    Second: What happens after my warranty expires in five months and it is ALWAYS the case? Is this PC a lemon? I've had a few laptops, and I have NEVER had anything that gave me as much hassle as this! My friend as a 15 years old song VAIO, which must NEVER, not once seen any problems! It has Windows Vista, same! 15 YEARS, not a single bump on the road! I got this SEVEN month, and if you add up, it's more than once a month! ARRGGGHHHHH!

    Third: If someone can make a good argument for staying with Lenovo; I need to look @ your desktop all-in-one or small. I used to say 'battery' has been my need to #1 to a computer, but now I realize that the 'reliability' is my requirement #1!  Maybe, a PC will be fast, one will be reliable? Sounds like a plan to me!

    I apologize for the length, and for my "evacuation." I hope that I didn't say anything, I should not have? TYVM for me to be on this Forum. You guys ROCK!

    Hi eefacm,

    So whenever you're ready to put the computer in the box, it starts to load, it seems that it is really a physical connection problem.

    It looks as if there is a loose wire, something may have slipped out of place and could be postponed.

    I recommend that you go ahead and send in your unit, regardless of whether it begins to load before you place it in the box.

    There is none of course say until you send it and let the repair depot look at him.

  • ThinkPad Edge E130 keyboard backlight?

    I just got new ThinkPad Edge E130 (3358 - 5DG) as my portable secondary on the side of my trusty W520. When traveling / flying W520 etc is just a little too big, so I wanted to have a smaller unit that I use in these conditions. I know that Edge is not supposed to match the quality of the series W, but wouldn't give a try for this beautiful little unit.

    Everything works pretty well, but the backlit keyboard (backlit keyboard) does not work. When you look at specifications of machine that it is clearly stated that the unit has keyboard backlight (which is a must for me), but there are also contained in fingerprint reader I know with certainty that it does not exist on this machine. Also it is visible in the pictures clearly has no fingerprint reader in any of the units E130 (which I didn't know and that you do not need either).

    FN + space combination should set up the lights and it is also printed on the keyboard. Press this combination gives me symbol OSD 'ThinkLight OFF' (icon with ThinkLight and line above it) whenever I press on it, so I have never 'ThinkLight ON' symbol and nothing is really happening in the keyboard. I updated all the software, etc. of Lenovo, so it's all the more recent version. Situation was the same before and after the update.

    So it seems that either A) my camera is faulty light keyboard or B) there is no light on the keyboard and standards applicable to devices are wrong on the Lenovo site.

    I tried to find information on this problem for the web and some said forums that some models that don't have a keyboard light still have keyboards with the printed markings of it. I also called Lenovo support, but they were not able to answer me either, they said that they have some documentation showing that there are keyboard backlight, but also some documents without him, while they were not able to say what the problem is. I'm waiting for more information from them, but no idea how much time is it going to take.

    If all of the ideas, can someone tell me how OSD works when you press Fn + combination of space when the unit is not equipped ThinkLight? My behavior is same as devices where there's no light on the keyboard and still print on the keyboard?

    My unit specifications can be found here: http://support.lenovo.com/en_FI/product-and-parts/detail.page?DocID=PD024686

    In standard: "ThinkLight keyboard light to illuminate the keyboard in order to improve visibility in low light conditions.»

    lead_org is right, that your machine has no backlight or think-light.

    The SPACEBAR key is printed with the light on all models.

    Hope this helps,

    Alex

  • Lack of Webcam - have you seen him? ThinkPad Edge 11

    Hello Forum,

    using a ThinkPad Edge 11 2545-A12 Type i´am and I need the build-in Webcam.

    But I m out of ideas how to activate it!

    The system works with Win 7 and I tried to use less-Lenovo software as possible.

    +++

    The driver of the Webcam installation is awkward. Whenever I run the installation of the latest Lenovo-Webcam-Tool tool, it warns: "USB-Videogerät nicht found. Bitte schließen sie das USB-VIdeogerät one. No matter what installation language I choose, it s always in German. Translatet: "none - found USB camera. Please plug it properly. "

    +++

    So I installed the software HotKey (no need for this before) and I was hoping to be able to activate the camera by pressing Fn + F5. I was not. Diferent pressing FN + X is fine, but by pressing Fn + F5 came: "for pressing of these combinaten, you must install the utility Communication Thinkvantage 1.4 or higher.

    Ok...

    +++

    So I installed the 2.09 Thinkvantage communications utility and tried Fn + F5. Now, I have control over my audio stuff but nothing to do with a camera. Camera Options are not shown or grey.

    +++

    So I installed the center of update of Active hoping for luck. Three restarts and a few software updates later everything remains the same: "no-camera USB found. Please plug it properly. "

    +++

    Is it possible to get the camera to work? I don't want to get a one extern...

    Maybe you have an idea? I have some ideas to the left...

    Thank you and good weekend!

    Your Florian.

    Hi Florian.

    According to the description of the product:

    Athlon K325(1.3GHz) 2 GB RAM 320 GB 5400 RPM HD 11.6 in 1366 x 768 LCD ATI Radeon HD 4225 802.11bgn wireless Bluetooth 1 Gb Ethernet UltraNav camera 6 c Li-ion No. preloads

    There should be a camera.

    Edit: Go into the bios, under Security-> Port i/o settings, you can check the status of the camera enabled/disabled

  • 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...
