HDD problem Lenovo G460

Bought a Lenovo G460 comes with Windows 7 Home Premium only for more than a year. Ran fine with occasional BSOD who disappeared with a soft reboot.

However, a month ago, the laptop had a recurring problem where the hard drive light does not illuminate on start-up and the rest blank screen and does not start at the startup LENOVO screen. Commissioning is then trial and error when the laptop may or may not have the problem when it is powered. With a fortnight of warranty left, I sent my laptop to the service where the hard drive was deemed to be defective and replaced. The laptop was then returned to me with a new hard drive.

I then used as normal without any problems for about 2 weeks and the same problem arised yet. This is due to the hard drive again? Or is it a problem of motherboard connector now? Hope that some professionals can get back to me. Thank you.

could be something else.
try to remove the battery, disconnect the power supply, press the power button / stop for 30-40 seconds, replace the battery and check if it works.
also, try to remove/replace, swap the RAM sticks.

If you still don't see no any display, possible hardware problem. call lenovo support line and send it to the service.

(and do not wear it in your bag, simply use special bags for laptops)

  • Lenovo G460: Impossible to continue after Lenovo screen

    Hello

    I have Windows 8 installed on Lenovo G460 and it worked very well. Suddenly the last 2 days, it hit after screen Lenovo that has F2 - parameter of the Bios and F12 - boot order selection. Same F2 - Bios won't load (say incoming in Setup...) and hung out there.

    I changed a setting before I had this problem in the Compatible Bios to AHCI. I don't know if that's the problem. In order to change this back, its does not not the Bios as well.

    Please help me solve this problem.

    Hello

    Yes. Possible readability of the HARD drive is the problem

    If it's the HARD drive, you can easily remove the HDD of the unit and turn on the system and try to boot in the BIOS.

    Your system without HARD drive should still be able to boot to the BIOS

    Try plugging the drive HARD back see if that fixes the problem.

  • Problem Lenovo Thinkpad T430 HDD/SSD

    Hi all

    I recently added an SSD for my thinkpad only to windows hosting on. I have a 300 GB HARD drive installed so I installed a 120 GB SSD into the slot of the wireless card. Everything went well, I installed windows 7 on the SSD and the laptop starts perfectly but I can no longer see the HARD drive in my computer, it only displays the SSD here now.

    Can someone advise what I need to do to get both drives visible?

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Your computer is to see your drive, it must just be initialized.

  • Replace HDD SSD Lenovo Y500 Guide?

    Hello everyone I'm going to keep it is as simple as possible. I would trade my HDD in my Lenovo Y500 with a 1 TB SSD. My Y500 has the 16 GB of cache if that helps. I think it's a 2.5 "HDD but what kind. What is an mSata or Sata?

    The physical installation, I can do easily, but what is the best way to backup and transfer things to the SSD?

    I'm pretty decent with computers and I have some knowledge on this operation. I would like to transfer all my SSD HARD drive this includes the OS(windows 8) and all the other necessary components. I would do it with a DVDR that is 4.6 GB I think. It's a brand new computer, so I have no files, docs etc that I have to worry.

    Please can someone answer my questions I would really appreciate the help of the community.

    Please post a guide step by step for me and others to use!

    Thanks a ton

    I found it easier to use an mSATA replacing the 16 GB one with a 256 GB SSD version. It runs at 6 Gbps.

    Windows 8, I have installed from a copy retail DVD instead of imaging on the 1 TB drive. The activation key for Windows 8 is built in your bios. Windows automatically detected 8 mine installed without asking for it and active without problem.

  • Guarantee problem Lenovo L520

    I bought a ThinkPad L520 (Type Machine 5016-C74) and I was told it has a warranty of 3 years. The problem is that when I enter the serial number in guaranteed state search Web page, I get the "error: Type of Machine or series not found!"

    The same serial number work parts search page.

    I called Lenovo Helpline in Greece, but they offer only the support for the products of the Ideapad, demand so contact me a service authorized centres. I called 2 of them, and they couldn't get results of warranty for my series either.

    If someone had a similar problem, where a moderator can help with this? My receipt is enough to check the warranty of 3 years? I have an international warranty?

    I sent an email from Lenovo warranty registration Department and they solved the problem.

  • GPU problems Lenovo IdeaPad y500 - 650 SLI gt

    Hi all, about a week I have a new laptop Lenovo y500 with GeForce GT 650 SLI.
    I am satisfied with the performance of the laptop, and I think it's the best choice in this price range.
    Battlefield3 works perfectly in FULL HD resolution and SECONDARY settings.
    However, I have a small problem, I don't know if there is something wrong with the hardware or drivers.
    From time to time, for example, play League of Legends, browse Web sites or view switching to Battlefield3 for windows appears a mistake that the graphics driver has stopped working, but found its proper functioning.
    For a moment, the screen goes black and back to normal. I installed different drivers GeForce site as 310.90 WHQL Beta 313.96 or manufacturer dedicated Lenovo Nvidia Video Driver for Windows 7 (64 bit) - IdeaPad Y400, Y500 dated November 4, 2012, none of them help and the problem persists.
    What do you think? problem is the driver bcs or bcs material? Maybe something wrong with the motherboard or other drivers component? or maybe just a few parameters need to be addressed? I'll be very grateful for your help, what you sugest do?

    I bought new Y500 without any windows or the drivers included, installed Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 and all the site drivers lenovo driver.

    it becomes more annoying more I use the laptop

    Hope to get some info on your part, what should I do to eliminate this problem of pilot ;(


  • Graphics driver problem Lenovo G770

    Hello

    I recently bought a new Lenovo G770 computer and after some time began to experience problems with the ATI display driver who kept sparking blue screens (BSOD) and black screen crashes with the well-known message "the ATI display driver has stopped working and has successfully recovered". My system is the CORE i5, 8 GB RAM, 750 GB HARD drive and double version graphic (ATI Radeon HD 6650 M and Intel 3000). I have the latest drivers from the Lenovo support site, the question "do you have the latest version of the driver" is useless. The latest driver for the ATI Radeon of Lenovo is one dated April 15, 2011! Has anyone encountered this problem? I'm not really willing to Exchange my laptop or sending it to the service without a little research and DIY. Thus, everyone, Lenovo, HELP? Much appreciated!

    Thank you!


  • Optical problem Lenovo Y580

    Hi there everyone,

    So I'll be quick on my problem to go straight to the point. I installed Windows 8 to Dreamspark to try to update my system, may be faster. After the installation of the OS, I had problems after problems, including performance was extremely terrible!

    So I used my restore DVD to return to Windows 7 Pro. Now, I've updated all my drivers Lenovo Web sites and Intel, that not all drivers Lenovo has seemed to work.

    I never noticed before, but my light optical (digital sound, the red one on the side 3.5 mm plug right hand) is still on. IM pretty good with computers, but nothing that I don't seem to turn it off. Is it supposed to be on? Seems rather pointless if its still on.

    I guess I'm looking for assistance on this topic. I tried to disable the hardware, change of drivers... Ideas now. Any help is appreciated.

    3rd generation Intel Core i7-3610QM at 2.30 Ghz

    Thank you.

    Good,

    I managed to get the drivers to work. I was about to try to install the drivers manually, but then I got the idea to try the XP drivers. BAM, they worked. I have no idea why XP drivers worked, but the pilots of 7 or 8 do not have.

    Well, problem solved, I guess!

    Thanks for all your help!
