• Palmrest L512

  Hello

  I think to buy a ThinkPad L512 I found. It comes with a fingerprint reader, but I don't really want one. I would be able to buy a palm-rest without the fingerprint reader and replace it with this one?

  Thank you

  Yes you can. The fingerprint reader is connected to the motherboard via a flat ribbon cable connector.

  You can turn off the reader of fingerprints in the BIOS, is there a reason why you want to redo the change functional, or is - this purely aesthetic?

• How can I update the BIOS without using a CD?

  Hello!

  I recently decided to update my RAM from 2 GB to 4 GB. After installation, I started my computer to find that it would not recognize the new memory. After doing some troubleshooting, I decided to try to update the BIOS, like the 2010 version. I have downloaded the update to the BIOS boot CD implementation of lenovo, burned a disk and restarts, I found that the boot order has no CD contained thereon. Here's the catch: I do not have the supervisor password. It is a mobile phone in hand, and I tried to find the password nothing is done. It's the current boot order: USB key, hard drive.

  My question is, can I create a BIOS update disk using a USB key, or update the BIOS of another way?

  I understand that it is impossible to recover the supervisor password without having served (that I prefer to not do, even if I have to return my Crucial RAM)

  My system features:

  ThinkPad L512

  BIOS version: 1.04

  BIOS date: 2010-3-26

  Controller of Embeded Version: 1.01

  Windows 7 32 bit

  Thanks for your help.

  Welcome to the forum!

  Two things here:

  (a) If you run the system update, it should offer the latest BIOS for your machine as well. I never did on a protected device, so it may or may not work, but perhaps worth it.

  (b) I doubt the ability of the system to recognize the new RAM has something to do with the BIOS. Much older than your ThinkPads will take place 4-8 GB of RAM with an old BIOS, older than your machine initially.

  Good luck.

• 4 GB of ram installed, but usable only 2.43 GB

  Hello.

  Recently, I upgraded my new laptop (thinkpad L512: 2 GB of ram, originally) with a new 2 GB ram.

  I was expecting to the usable memory must be at least 3 GB, but it appeared that only 2.43 GB is used.

  I don't know why this is happening.

  I checked the BIOS and changed the memory location two, but he showed that only 2.43 GB is used.

  Memory: 2 GB PC3 - 10600 DDR3 1333 MHz SODIMM Memory (1 DIMM) SDRAM - 2 c.

  What's wrong?

  Intel graphics card have no memory dedicated, but uses some of the computer's system memory. The amount of memory used for the graphics might be an amount fixed or may vary up to a maximum amount. It depends on if the computer manufacturer has configured the computer to use a fixed amount, a dynamic amount (ranging up to a maximum amount) or a combination of fixed and dynamic graphics memory amounts.

  The amount of memory usable did you have before the upgrade to 4 GB?

  What version of Windows are you using? It is 32-bit or 64-bit?

  What is the model number of your computer (for example: 4029-3EG)?

• ThinkPad Yoga S1 2nd Gen crashing in Tablet Mode

  Hi all.

  I received a second generation Yoga Thinkpad S1 12 a few days ago. Everything works fine, except the Tablet mode. Sometimes when I'm browsing the web in tablet mode, the unit freezes. In addition, whenever I change direction, the device almost certainly crashes.

  After going in the Task Manager, I discovered that the use of the disc going up to 100% for some reason any of several times in tablet mode, which is most likely the culprit. I'm pretty sure that the ISD_Tablet.exe driver is having a major memory leak that is the origin of overconsumption of disc.

  I have already restarted, restored and updated through Windows Update Lenovo updated and several times, but no solution has been found.

  Any of you guys have any ideas?

  Hey, it's me again.

  Nevermind, I fixed the problem. I've updated the BIOS 1.10 of Lenovo update, and the problem disappeared.

• ThinkPad Tablet 2 random Crash of the common OS.

  Nice day.

  I have a new Thinkpad Tablet 2 with windows, Non-cryptage, 32 gig.

  I have only one question, random os crash so far.

  It happens anywhere, usually once a day.

  While it is plugged in or on battery, or offline.

  It happens on different application, desktop, browser, email, to the login screen.

  The only thing that seems to be constant memory, is that it occurs when the on-screen keyboard appears.

  All updates are done, I do it manually to keep track of it and ensure that it is done correctly.

  I love this product, I do not understand this bug are expected on new devices.

  Whenever it happens, I'll post in detail. I am in the island this will help Lenovo is the problem earlier.

  Any ideas on how to solve this or if any information that someone thinks that it might be useful to find the problem, please let me know.

  
  

• Plug the VGA cable causes the crash or black screen on my Thinkpad. Help!

  On my newly purchased W530, a cable VGA-causes a crash or a black screen on my Thinkpad.

  The foregoing happens whenever I have insert the cable VGA which is quite annoying, because I use it with my projector every day.

  Accidents seem to occur more often when I closed the lid and insert the VGA cable. If I open cover more often get a black screen (which remains black even when I leave the cable again).

  I could try to fix this problem?

  Which driver (or other) would be the most likely cause?

  Thanks Adam! :-)

  Yes, as I mentioned, accidents have disappeared after installing the latest driver Nvidias own site.

  Remaining problems are small problems which I can live with to what NVidia fixes if all goes well with an updated driver.

  But it was really great to see instructions on how to start in safe mode on Windows 8. I always wondered who. Thanks again Adam! :-)

• Firefox crashes when I remove the message "Test Pilot"

  As I rebooted my PC (IBM thinkpad T43 running windows XP), Firefox sticks a message on the screen, heading ' new study test pilot ' with the message 'test pilot 'Firefox Desktop Heatmap 2012' is about to begin.
  I can't get rid of this message. If I click on the Red to close X, or the message "Details" Firefox crashes and I get "we're sorry, Firefox has a problem and crashed. How can I clear this message without crashing? Thanks for the info, John

  Yesterday I received an email informing me of the latest beta of Firefox was ready. I have currently in progress (version 13.0b1) and can confirm that this solves the problem. I no longer get the message that has been obscuring the corner of the screen. Thanks for the extremely fast response... I get that the speed of reaction on I pay a product support contract. -Cheers, John

• BSOD occurs when the inserted SD card. FASTFAT. SYS crashes.

  I have it happens almost everytime if the machine has been used for a while. Insertion of an SD (4 GB format Canon) a BSOD is virtually guaranteed. After a new start it works fine but disastrous otherwise since all the info is lost and nothing is closed.

  I watched the dump file and the FASTFAT. SYS is the cause of the accident. It is a very old driver in Windows 7 and there are several problems with it in many forums that goes back even to XP. There is no plant introduced by any other device or USB key/drive connected. Only the SD card.

  I thought that this may have be due to the USB controller is off for economy of energy, but even after the removal of capacity by enabling / disabling not to turn it off to save power to USB devices, that it always crashed the very next time I used what was days later. The system was that it is usually plugged.

  I can do the same thing on my old laptop with its internal player of multicast running Windows 7 32 bit, and there is no problem. The Thinkpad with Win 7 64 bit. I am always aware of a BSOD occurring dare I plug my camera card. This makes the port useless since I can't afford regular crashes and an external card reader may have to be used.

  After considerable effort and reload the drivers. I found the driver for the series 6.x installed version and not the version number that Lenovo States on the package information. By comparing the file SYS of two pilots in effect is the same, including the version number. In the end, I got the last being installed, but it is not what says Lenovo.

  Also, since all this time number uninstall anyway, I was able to force it to take. The SD card is no more crash the system. I used it several times since the announcement, then all the time before putting it together. It looks like all that fixes something, somewhere, somehow without rational reason for BSOD crashes.

• MDT 2013 Thinkpad Yoga 12 - WinPE boot problems

  We have two models of Thinkpad Yoga and use the same ethernet USB dongle to run MDT and their image with Win 8.1.

  Type 20 c 0 works very well. When we arrived the 20DK of a new type, we had some problems with our image of fat because of the different hardware profile and we weren't using a configuration of total control for drivers on our MDT.

  I created a new MDT installation on a virtual machine and I use the method of total control of the management of drivers by model. I have a profile of selection for winPE and imported the drivers of storage and network for both models (x 64 only, we don't have any x 86). I tried initially the USB3 Ethernet adapter driver I found under downloads for the 20 c model 0 but have tried since the upload of pack pilot SCCM and other I found specifically for the adapter realtek and SCCM, but nothing has changed. The current versions of pilot in my winpe folder are 8.15.0701.2014 and 8.8.0911.2013. Have updated the deployment share, copied the contents of the x 64 folder and copied the litetouchx64.wim in the sources on our USB startup folder and renamed to boot.wim.

  Currently on the 20DK I get the initial screen for MDT spash with blue background, but before any connection charges of screen I get the blue screen of crash with error (ndis.sys) System_thread_exception_not_handled. I guess I do know for sure that it is a problem of network driver but because it fails before the same connection to the deployment share it led me to believe that this was the case. I tried to turn off 3 USB mode in the bios to see if this will have an impact, and he didn't.

  The 20 c 0 still works fine and I was able successfully to the image (from my old wim of fat that I copied from my old server mdt)

  Completed up to add all the drivers for this model in the folder of WinPE drivers and who took care of her.

• ThinkPad T431s and graphics drivers

  Hello

  I am currently using a Thinkpad T431s, which uses the graphics card Intel HD Graphics 4000. As it appears, Lenovo comes with its own drivers for this graphics card, but the last one they released was in March 2013. Meanwhile, Intel has made one may 2015. When I go to install the driver, there is a warning saying that it is not compatible.

  I tried to get Overwatch to work, many people have said that the 4000 Intel HD Graphics card is good enough, as long as you have the drivers latest. However, using the Lenovo drivers as soon as 2013, I'm just constantly crashing. My computer more than exceeds the minimum requirements in the case. Someone know if we can just go ahead with the latest drivers, or would it be better to just stick with out-of-date Lenovo drivers?

  Thanks in advance

  You can install the latest drivers from www.intel.com. After this check if everything works, especially change of brightness of the screen.

• Where can I get the version 2.05 for my T430s Thinkpad BIOS

  Currently, I have the old version 2.02 of the BIOS on my Thinkpad s 430. The version of the lenova site is not desirable for me because it prevents roll to an earlier version if needed by me. Older versions of BIOS are the 7 digits and upgrade to any version 2.5 or higher who have 10 didgit number, will prevent me for always roll back. So I need the version just before 2.5, which is be 2.05 seen read me text file of the version of BIOS available on the Lenovo Web site. Please help where I can download the version 2.05.

  After the WIN10 Pro, my computer knows the blue screen errors, at the time wherever I connect to the internet. As long as I don't connect with the internet, I am able to work on my computer. Analysis using the tool that shows crashed from NIVIDIA NVS 5200 driver problem and this blue screen death fix has been incorporated into the version 2.05. That is why this request.

  Thanks in advance.

  Good day and welcome to the community.

  Take a look on: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/Laptops-and-netbooks/ThinkPad-T-Series-laptops/ThinkPad-T43... to the bootable CD BIOS Installer and scroll down see earlier versions and their links. If you prefer the Windows Installer executable of the BIOS, see: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/Laptops-and-netbooks/ThinkPad-T-Series-laptops/ThinkPad-T43...

  I hope this helps.

• Error 2101: ThinkPad T430 and Nocti OCZ 120 GB

  Hello

  After about a month of use, I suddenly got an error: "2101: Drive error detection on hdd2 (sata mini)". Simply by browsing the internet system hung up and after the reboot, that the error appeared.

  I read that people here had same error just after the Assembly of their SSD - mine has worked for a few weeks.

  The problem appeared shortly after the auto BIOS update but not right after flash. 2 or 3 reboots went smoothly.

  Strange, it is now my BIOS version 1.16 when crashes version 1.17 - on the web since last Wednesday the update went Saturday.

  Any ideas how to avoid sending anything (laptop and SSD) to RMA?

  I already have RMA to OCZ ticket but want to save time and do not want to lose the data.

  Besides I don't know if this isn't the BIOS: Lenovo's new.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Gootchio

  Okay, this Monday, I had Nocti replaced by OCZ and it works great - now

  So it was no fault of Thinkpad.

• [W510] crashes during use heavy CPU/GPU | possible overheating

  Hello

  I have a problem with W150 6 - week old I am just unable to provide. I tried a fairly recent game to test the hardware capabilities of my new camera. However, when running this game, it crashes at irregular intervals.

  MACHINE:

  ThinkPad W510, 4389-W1B Type

  Intel i7 Q70

  nVidia Quadro FX 880 M

  4 GB OF RAM

  Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

  SETTING:

  The game in question is 'Mass Effect' (2008) with graphics almost maxed out settings (720 p and maximum of details). The machine has all the latest drivers and BIOS installed.

  BEHAVIOR:

  The machine is appearently under a heavy load of CPU/GPU with the fan at the highest speed. The causes of the accident the screen go blank and feeding the machine in less than a second after a short hard disk activity. The time until the machine hangs when running the game differs between 3 to 30 minutes.

  COMMENTS:

  I installed the tools, namely TPFanControl and SpeedFan temperature monitoring. The CPU does not get like 80 degrees Celsius, the temperature of the GPU also doesn't exceed 80 degrees Celsius. The accident occurs only with this game of 3D acceleration. However, it is the most demanding game I posses. The question seems to be temperature related since it usually takes much more time to plant the device switching on after a long time being turned off, or in a cooler environment.

  SO FAR THE TESTS:

  I have run several tests of stress on the machine, namely of Prime95 (max CPU temperature: 86), FurMark (CPU: 85, GPU: 80 c) and 3DMark. All passed without accidents (when running for about 1,5 hour maximum). I got the latest nVidia drivers installed, as well as the latest graphics drivers approved by Lenovo. I tried other games with resolution 1080 p and maxed out settings, but the accident only with "Mass Effect".

  CONCLUSION DATE:

  Like many, I can tell, when you run the game, CPU or GPU become warmer than during the stress tests. Nevertheless, the problem "seems" related to temperature. The fact that I don't have to plant with any other game machine or a stress test makes me assume that Mass Effect is just wrong with Windows 7 or the material. However, to my knowledge, bad code or bad drivers do not cause such a crude system shutdown.

  Well, I really don't know what o think about it. I don't want to make use of Lenovo support, unless it is really an anomaly in the system. I would need to get along without my laptop for 2 weeks, which is a long time in view of the fact that it is my primary work machine.

  So my questions to the community are:

  1. is it possible that this is a temperature related problem after all? Despite the positive stress test?

  2 is it possible that these accidents are caused by bad drivers or bad programs?

  Tips are greatly appreciated...

  I don't think it's an overheating problem, it is more likely a software/driver problem or a hardware problem. I am inclined to think that it is the last.

  The system should go in a judgment of thermal overload until less than 95 degrees. 80 degrees is on the beach of normal operation for the GPU and the CPU temperature when loading at 100% load.

  Try to disable the Turbo mode, also have you tried to perform a test on the ram?

  In addition, update a bios may be a good idea if you don't have it already done.
