• New Lenovo Ideapad Z710 friend refuses to install the touchpad driver.

  A few weeks ago my friend bought new a laptop Lenovo Ideapad Z710 pre-installed with Win8. I "upgraded" to Windows 7 for him, as none of us can handle the new OS. Usually, I have no trouble to reinstall the drivers after installing a new OS, but for some reason that its touchpad driver does NOT install.

  I use the official driver for his computer, apparently is a synaptics driver and it says it should work completely fine with Windows 7, but when I try to run the installation, I get the error "Synaptics Device Not Found!"

  There are a few issues that I believe are related to the driver not being installed that can tell you something. When he closes the lid of the laptop and open it again, the mouse jumps over the screen constantly, and he can't use the computer until it restarts. In addition, he cannot turn his touchpad, which I suppose is a function that comes with the driver.

  Any help or contribution is greatly appreciated, if you need more information, do not hesitate to ask.

  Thanks again,
  -Tyler

  Are you sure the touchpad isn't a Synaptics touchpad ElanTech? If ElanTech, try to uninstall the currently installed driver. Then install the driver from the website. During the installation of the driver not to put a check mark in the box that says driver Synaptics install now.

• Lenovo Ideapad y510p - memory upgrade

  So since Christmas is coming, I thought it would be cool to upgrade my 8 GB RAm 16 GB my question is: what type of card Gerard, I need my lenovo ideapad y510p? and what I have to change my old memory card aswell if im buying a new?

  Also is it easy to change the RAM cards?

  The worst thing that can happen is that memory does not work with full 1866MTs, but it will certainly work.

  The first is a 2.5 "drive, so you should replace your hard drive with it. The other works, but not as a cache. If you do not want to buy a form mSATA SSD, it is best to install the top OS. Kingston is not the best brand when it comes of SSD. Discover Crucial, Samsung, Plextor. It would be a good idea to read some current reviews and comparisons of the SSD. always keep the highest priority on reliability.

  Just had the laptop y510p and I am trying to install Ubuntu, so I have this DVD bootable and I wanted to try out Ubuntu before you install as usual, but I can't get the laptop to bot on dvd. On the start menu options, there are only EFI and a kind of network options but not dvd.

• IdeaPad Z710 USB controller drivers? (Win7)

  Hello

  I recently had an Ideapad Z710 and have installed a new copy of Windows 7 Professional on this topic. In doing so, I managed to destroy most of the drivers for different systems, but through this forum and helpdesk at my University, that I managed to do almost everything works as it is supposed to.

  My remaining a flag and error with regard to the pilots is the connector for Serial Bus universal, he says "the drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28) »

  Despite this, I still fully able to use usb, mouse, peripheral storage entries, etc.

  Basically should what driver I download and run? I tried some that I got on the site, but they all said that my computer did not meet the minimum requirements when I tried to run them.

  The hardware ID are, if that's any use:

  PCI\VEN_8086 & DEV_8C31 & SUBSYS_397817AA & REV_05

  PCI\VEN_8086 & DEV_8C31 & SUBSYS_397817AA

  PCI\VEN_8086 & DEV_8C31 & CC_0C0330

  PCI\VEN_8086 & DEV_8C31 & CC_0C03

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Also, I think that my drivers for the trackpad are not complete, although it is usable, multi-touch controls (like the 2 fingers to scroll) don't funtion and when I downloaded the driver of Lenovo for the Z710 precise Touchpad, he said that my computer did not meet the requirements for the driver.

  I managed to find all my drivers at this point. Most of them I found through extensive research on Google, but something that you can try (if the computer has an internet connection) is to go to the driveridentifyer site and run their free app (that's how I found the right touchpad driver).

  The site seems a little shady, but I saw it referenced many times on this forum by community members of high level. Essentially, the application runs a check for what drivers you are missing and then spits out a Web page that lists the drivers you need with links, download if you have a free account to actually download.

  I hope this helps! (Although I recommend that you get an antivirus running first, just in case).

• Lenovo Ideapad S400 Touch screen problem.

  Original title: Lenovo Ideapad Touch - Touch Ghost S400

  Hi all

  I'm tapped with continuous tapping of the touch screen of my laptop, even if no one is in contact with it.

  This often happens when I use the touch screen or leave my laptop on for too long. I tried to disable and uninstall the drivers for the touchscreen device but it keeps appearing whenever I start my PC in Device Manager.

  Someone knows how to fix this? I've already sent this unit to the service center, but the problem persists.

  Hi Vlad,

  Thanks for the reply.

  The problem persists even after installing new drivers and calibration of the touch settings, this could be a problem with the hardware. I suggest you to contact the Lenovo Support for assistance on this issue.

• Optiarc DVD RW AD 7740: disabled by Windows 8 on Lenovo Ideapad G580

  My Lenovo IdeaPad G580 does not now recognize the driver for the DVD drive. A few days ago there was some updates of Windows 8 downloaded on the computer that may have caused this problem. Device Manager displays the following error message: "Windows cannot start this hardware because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) ».

  I uninstalled the DVD driver for Windows 8 re - install, but this has not fixed the problem. I did a restore of the system to a previous date updates and this could not solve the problem as well.

  Would appreciate any help on how to resolve this situation. Thank you.

  Hello

  19 code means there is a driver conflict such as two devices attempt to use the same resources.

  Having too much CD/DVD programs can cause strange problems, especially if they load of parties
  themselves at the start because they will be competing for resources. This does not mean this problem
  has been caused by those, however, it is a possibility that and how much you
  have installed. Uninstall 3rd party not CD/DVD programs necessary or if he suspected to be
  part of the question (not one of those included in Windows).

• WOL on Lenovo IdeaPad S10e

  Hi all

  I've been looking around various forums, but have not been able to find an answer to the following question.

  Is the Lenovo IdeaPad s10e (4187-5LG) off Wake On Lan full support?

  I was able to wake him from sleep mode and sleep, but not completely extinguished. I can't see all the settings in the BIOS to enable or disable wake on LAN. I think that I can't stand of WOL, but the client that I work with the needs to know.

  I hope one of you have the answer!

  Thanks in advance
