  • IdeaPad Y530 wireless wifi is turned off then on battery

    I have a new Ideapad Y530 Intel 5100 wifi wireless network card. It works fine when I am connected to an electrical outlet, but when I am on battery it loses connection Wireless after about half an hour of use. When I check the network card, it shows that it is disabled. I'm trying to enable him, but she remains disabled, I can't operate unless I restart the computer. I've done so far that has not fixed it problem:

    1. I checked the power management settings in the device for the network card Manager and you have unchecked the box "allow the computer to turn off the device to save power".

    2. I already uninstalled Readycomm since I had problems with it before

    3. I also affect roaming aggressiveness 1.

    Can someone direct me on how to keep network to get wireless card disabled when I am on battery?

    In addition, once I lose the connection Wireless because the network card is disabled, Windows Vista network settings are really slow to come for me to check my network connection and settings, never had this problem with XP. System seems to hang for several minutes before I can get into the network and sharing Center.

    Thank you.

    I think I've figured this out. I disabled and then uninstalled the power management Lenovo that at first seem to solve the problem but didn't. I knew that it was something to do with power management, so I checked my settings and it was set to energy saving. When I changed to balanced remained turned on the wireless network adapter and I have not lost my network connection. I checked power options advanced for the adapter in symmetric mode and energy-saving wireless and found that Power Saver if it had set for the Maximum energy savings while only balanced if it had set for maximum Performance. The setting for maximum energy savings, it is this that kept disable the wireless card with after several minutes, I changed it to the following configuration, low energy and my without thread remains active and I don't lose my network connection. So for anyone else having problems with the loss of their wireless connection, try to check your power management settings.

  • No base - curve - bad performance ION S12 wireless - Lenovo support no help

    Hi forum,

    I received my Thanksgiving S12 ION contract last week.  The size and the format are perfect, overall performance, just as it should be, but wireless performance is unacceptable.  I work for IBM and have a T60P work laptop and two mobile Y430, all of which have the perfect full bars of signal wireless throughout my house.  But this S12 ION has only three bars in my office next to the wireless G router and only one or two bars in the next room.  For any other room in the House I can not connect.

    I checked that I have installed the latest wireless drivers.  It comes with those who is the latest on the Lenovo support site.

    I called technical support from Lenovo.  After waiting on hold, I've been connected, then dropped after another 30 minutes on hold.  The second time I have called, I was told that I had to turn on the wireless switch.  I told the tech that I was already logged and that the question was wrong signal.  He suggested to remove Lenovo readycomm, but which is not installed on this S12.  Finally, he told me that it's just a netbook, not a laptop and if I don't like what I should return it.

    I'm so angry at this poor support that I return it immediately, if it wasn't for the expenses of return of 15%.

    Does anyone else have problems with wireless?  I'm wrong about what is a nice wireless connectivity tool?

    At the price I paid, $399, I can this dump on eBay, but I am seriously disappointed.

    Hi Forum,

    I opened the wireless card slot after reading other forums of netbook that some had to loose antenna connectors. At first I thought that's what I had as one of the drivers, a black, was not seated. It turns out that the connector on the wireless card has been open curve.

    See photos:

    I folded the connector closed ring, reconnect the antenna cable, and now I have a signal. Thought you would be interested in the photos.

    I'm going to call Lenovo and ask them to replace the wireless card, because there is no guarantee the connector is not damaged, but it works fine for now.

    You must use a wifi card dual channel. Referring to page 87 of the Hardware Maintenance Manual it is possible (highlighted in the attached photo). These three are in the Y410P only then they may not work for the Y510P (this can be a restriction imposed by Lenovo in the Bios - whitelist).

    To lift the restriction referred to white list of your bios should be changed. There are sites that offer to do it for you. However, note that you yourself if use you this unit in brick.

  • Looking to buy a Lenovo IdeaPad S12 (29595GU)

    Hello.  I am looking to buy a netbook, and from what I can tell the Lenovo S12 is the best with his 12 inch screen, QS OS, nVidia ION, HDMI output, 3 GB of RAM and 320 HARD drive.  The only problem I have is that it is just expensive for me right now.  Is there anyway that he will drop in price after Christmas, or when the ION2 comes out?

    Also, I have a few questions:

    -How to use the button 'recovery' on the keyboard?  The system already has back up when shipped and simply press the button, or you have to make your own?

    -If I had to go with the cheaper version with 2 GB of RAM and 250 GB of HARD drive, and later, I wanted to move to 3 GB of RAM then I should buy another 1 GB or 2 GB key?

    -What software comes pre-installed?

    Hello and welcome,
    last question at first... not heard talking about overheating seems to be cool...

    .. No HDMI output no video input...

    colors other than black?  NA not know what is provided by Lenovo...

    pre installed, I think that like most of the other S-series
    MS Office Trial, Adobe Suite trial, Norton...

    Correct me if iam wrong...

    Backup solution?  HARD drive based...

    I prefer this Solution to backup ...

    Memory?

    comes with 1 GB (non-removable) soldered on board more 1 GB removable memory = 2 GB
    upgrade to 3GB mem, easy... Open the lower cover, remove 1 GB...
    Insert S0-Dimm 2 GB = 3 GB memory

  • Help with Windows XP problem (Lenovo Ideapad S12)

    Hello

    I bought a new S12 a bit backward, but recently, I had a problem with it. Earlier today, I was online and I must of clicked on a link that has started with Java for a reason any. Almost instantly my antivirus picked up a threat, she has actually won 51 threats, I did a scan and it found no aNY\ threat. I restarted the computer and that has been the problems began.

    Windows starts fine, but sometimes does not the taskbar. Startup applications but continue to operate. For example I start 'My Computer' but then I can't go to my "My Documents".  And after that it seems to freeze but the mouse cursor can move but nothing really works and I have to force the computer off. Also sometimes when I run Google Chrome a message appears.

    WINDOWS-applicaTION ERROR
    The ApplicATION has no iniaLIZE PROPERLY (0XC0000022). Click ok TO close the APPLICaTION

    So im thinking the virus messed up the config so I read that perhaps I need to restore the partition. If you could help me with this.

    This is my first post something so if you could help me out... in other words im a beginner.

    -Thank you

    Hello and welcome...  ITF you are using a program of security as one of them...  Security for freedom and keep updating them... are you on the save side, but its good to save your work (data, music, photos...) at any time on an additional media as FlashThumbDrive USB or an opticaldrive...

    Do not trust a program of security... from time to time, use an external security program to search for viruses or so now...

    Keep your system clear, delete temporary data with a feather duster like cleanprog or ccleaner...

    Disable unnessessary progs ... could accelerate in some cases and prevents freeze/hang up/hick upward

    & If viruses or other malfunctions, its more comfortable to go to a zero & recover your system...

    and like many other programs google chrome is not bugs, what might happen...

  • Network wireless and Bluetooth card no longer works...

    Hello

    I guess I did something very stupid.

    I had an Ideapad s12 via nano 2959. While the closure of Windows XP, I turned off the wireless switch. After reboot I lit it again once, the blue icon, the white light on the front edge of the dark rest netbook and wireless, nor the network card or the bluretooth seems to work more. The bluetooth of the systray icon displays in blue and Red instead of blue and white. Wireless systray icon as not connected, a scan of wireless networks you find no.

    In Device Manager, I'll see under "Bluetooth-devices" only "-Bluetooth enumerator. I don't see anything in the enumerator "Bluetooth."

    While I find the adapter wireless network installed, enabled and working properly...

    Didn't destroy my wireless devices by cutting so that the closing...?

    If so, why the adapter wireless network will show as being installed, active and functioning correctly in Device Manager?

  • Problems with NVIDIA Ion for S12 display driver

    I downloaded the Nvidia drivers

    195.62_notebook_winvista_win7_32bit_international_whql

    and

    195.81_notebook_winvista_win7_32bit_international_beta

    I tried to install the 195.81 first, but it didn't work so I tried 195.62, but he also didn't work.

    The error message reads:

    "The NVIDIA installer didn't find all the drivers that are compatible with your current hardware.  The installation program will now stop. "

    I have a Lenovo Ideapad S12 ion.  What is the problem?  I managed to install the driver Nvidia 191 version, but these updates don't work.

    Help me...

    If you perform a search, you can find several threads on these forums about this.

    For some reason any, as you have seen, the current reference GPU nVidia drivers do not work.

    Now, thanks for the test of the 195.81 beta drivers - support nVidia actually suggested these as a solution to the issue.

    They also suggested to try to install the drivers (or set) of in Safe Mode. You can try this.

    However, as we said already, the S12 works ok with livery drivers.

    I recommend you to install the driver chipset nVidia reference (I found a significant improvement in performance with install them) - BUT, only install the EMS component - I found the storage component causes problems (up to and including a blue screen when you run a benchmark of HARD drive).

    Also, apparently, the desktop GPU of nVidia drivers works perfectly.
