P50/P70: Upgrade with WWAN later is not possible anyway?

Hello

So maybe this is already known by everyone in the world, but me. As the P50/P70 come pre-installed with no WWAN module, but with the antennas and cables already present antenna, presumably it can be upgraded with the WWAN module when it becomes available?

Now, that seems in German (item 38): http://www.notebookchat.com/index.php/topic, 55724.30.html

For those who don't read German no, here is a rough translation of what the author/reviewer to Notebookcheck.com, Andreas Osthoff, wrote:

"

Hello everyone, we have now a statement from Lenovo on the LTE modems:

"The current P50 ThinkPad and Thinkpad P70 are unfortunately NOT" WWAN (LTE) READY "even though that some models were already pre built with the necessary antennas. As it seems at the moment - probably not it is possible that an option of post-installation WWAN (ETL) for P50 ThinkPad and ThinkPad P70 will come.

The reason:

The WWAN (LTE) module works at a frequency of 2133 MHz, the same as the used Skylake CPU with @ 2133 MHz DDR4 memory. This causes "interference" to occur, i.e. superposition phenomena when radio waves collide.

"

He also wrote that the P50/P70 will be delivered with WWAN/LTE April pre-built options.

For me, the P50 Thinkpad more like a product rushed. The bad thing for Lenovo, it is their top-of-the-line Workstation laptop series.

I'm still hoping that this statement was made to someone at Lenovo who didn't know what he was talking about, but knowing the bandwidth of the LTE channels 2.1 GHz, it seems likely that the statement is correct.

So Lenovo: Is the information which the above correct?

If so, what CAN be installed in the WWAN slot, now that the antennas are already pre-installed, considering that you are using a whitelist for WWAN modules?

  • Satellite T210-113 - upgrade with WWAN card

    Hello!

    Receinty I bought the laptop ultraportable Toshiba T210-113. I love the device but lacks a level of mobility for me, because there is no preinstalled WWAN card

    With a broadband mobile PHONE (3G or 4G) card, it would be much more convenient to work with this laptop on the road. I hope you can recommend a WWAN card that I can install in my T210-113

    When I detach the battery I can clearly see the slot to insert a SIM card. This isn't just a place to empty or covered with a piece of plastic. The slot that I see has metal parts and seems to be willing to accept real SIM cards

    I heard that Novatel WWAN 3 G cards are preinstalled on some of the predecessors to T210 - T110 series. Could you tell me what card WWAN 3 G / 4G will work with my device?

    Kind regards

    Hey,.

    Normally, such an upgrade should t be a problem if your laptop is a free site for such a WWAN card.

    I think the easiest is in touch with an authorized service provider because you can get spare parts Toshiba of the guys and they know what cards are compatible or not.

    You can find a list here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > find an authorized service provider

    If you have done this upgrade, it would be cool if you post comments how it worked, etc. Perhaps with some photos too.
    I have Satellite T230 and also think of such an updated :)

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my Qosmio x 870 and drivers touchpad Synaptics on Win7 64 bit.
    They do not drag-and - drop between applications.
    As soon as I press Alt - Tab, all by dragging a file to switch to one another application, dragging instantly stops.

    I use official & later (15.3.41.7) drivers of Toshiba touchpad http://goo.gl/pKHAI here

    I tried to install the generic Synaptics drivers and they do not have such a problem.
    With them, everything works very well with drag and drop.
    However, their implementation of two fingers to scroll is really buggy and more than half the time it does not work so I can't use them.

    Does anyone know if this bug and when?

    Any help? Thank you!

    Hi Axel

    My theory is that there may be some problem with button / stop himself (white metal under the button), or perhaps with several Planar cable wire.

    Also, for me it is definitely hardware problem. If you want, you can contact the partner of service allowed in your country and see what they have to say about it.

  • virtual vMotion with own IP is not possible

    Hello

    I just wanted to post a question, I stumbled on trying things in a lab environment that I put in place in preparation for my review of VPC510. Maybe someone can verify / falsify this problem. A statement from vmware-developers why it would be also great. Here's the scenario:

    esx5 host (machine) as a lab environment.

    On this bare metal are running two hosts of esx5 virtual and vCenter server environment. The network adapters on the virtual servers share a separate port on the real host group.

    The following image shows the vSphere Client connected the vCenter Server:

    vCenter.png

    (Btw. the warnings come from beeing SSH enabled on hosts)

    You can see the management and vMotion network separated with individual IP addresses. The properties are set accordingly (vMotion enabled for the vMotion network).

    Before separating the VMKernel Ports, I tried vMotion and it worked (with the appropriate property set).

    This scenario is very common, I guess, and it worked for me on real networks. In the described scenario vMotion virtual host will not work. Please see vmkping host2 failure (esx2):

    ssh_host2.png

    (If you "self" - ping to host1 to 10.0.0.11 you get the answer)

    I know this may be a weird scenario but for me it's the only way to play with things. It seems that the virtual NETWORK adapter does not support the mechanism of vMotion.

    I just want to know if this is a desired behavior, a bug, or am I missing something.

    I had a problem like this some time ago and I think it has been resolved by two 'Promiscuous Mode' parameters for the vSwitch on "Accept" to the physical host and/or by attaching the vSwitch to a physical network.

  • Satellite A500-1GL upgraded with keyboard backlight, but do not work

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba A500-1GL.
    I wanted to upgrade with a backlit keyboard, so I went to an authorized Toshiba reseller in my area (Portsmouth, UK) and after checking the laptop, they said yes, it supports a backlit keyboard and it cost around 90 pounds (about 140 dollars) the price of the backlit keyboard and the cost of installation.
    So I said okay, let...

    But the keyboard does not work!
    I went back to the place where I bought, and I asked the guy (yet) "are you sure that my laptop takes in charge the backlit? ... He said yes, and in fact he removed the keyboard and showed me 2 connectors (one to attack the keyboard and fix the lighting cable)

    Then. My computer supports portable backlit keyboard... But it's not working!
    I tried to reinstall the package added value, Flash card... Chipset... almost anything!
    But it still does not (it should work when I click Fn + Z)

    What can I do now?

    I can't return the keyboard, because the guy said "sry its now use!
    So, what should I do? Is there something I should install/remove I'm missing or what?

    Any help will be appreciated...

    See you soon.

    Hello

    What to say either the technician has done something wrong or the laptop is not extensible.

    As far as I know the keyboard lighting is controlled by the BIOS.
    In my case, I can disable and enable it in the BIOS.

    I don't know if your BIOS contain this option, but you could check it
    Please note that each model of mobile phone is supported and some BIOS each BIOS is different.

    In my opinion if the BIOS does not support this feature you so would not be able to activate the lighting, even if the keyboard has been installed.

  • What real products do not respond the specs of marketing... (P50/P70)

    Dear owners of ThinkPad P50/P70,

    as most of you are probably aware of the problems that ECC ram not enabled and option Raid is not available, I wonder if this actually means that products do not meet the specifications which are announced.

  • P50/P70 BIOS beep codes

    Does anyone have the BIOS beep codes for the P50/P70 Thinkpads? Almost everytime I start mine beeps at me.

    3 short beeps, pause, 1 beep, pause, 1 beep, pause, 3 short beeps.

    I called tech support and they wanted me to uninstall the RAM I added after I got the system, or they want to send me the computer to replace the RAM and the system. I do not think that those who are the problem, however. After he gets a beep, it loads well every time. Lenovo solutions Centre zero errors with my system. No problem with processor, chipset and memory. Windows recognizes all 32GB of my RAM when it loads as well.

    Any ideas? I'm disinclined to send my system back because otherwise it usually seems to work OK.

    A 3-1-1-3 beep code heard at the start after change of memory reserved Thunderbolt from 1 GB to 2 GB in the Setup of the BIOS indicates a lack of PCI memory resources. After the beep, BIOS allows you to adjust the resource memory PCI allocated to love at first sight, then automatically restarts the system.

    Please note that Lenovo recommends running a 64-bit instead of 32-bit Windows operating system when you use the Thunderbolt of 2 GB of memory reserved parameter.

    In the setting of several screens or other devices to the Garland of Thunderbolt, Lenovo recommends the use of the resource of memory of 2 GB to the BIOS Setup and deal with the 3-1-1-3 model beep to restart the computer after changing the configuration of the BIOS as successful confirmation of change the BIOS POST.

    When you attach a monitor or a couple of other devices, Lenovo recommends the use of the resource of memory of 1 GB in BIOS Setup.

  • The upgrade with an SSD

    I plan on migration to an SSD soon. After the upgrade SSD will appear as drive E:? If so, how can I change the C: drive SSD? I use a computer house built, based on the motherboard ASUS P5K - E. The processor is Intel E8400 3.0 GHz. I have 2 GB of RAM. Please ask me for more details if you need it. Thank you!

    If I understand you correctly, you want to change your system so that the first disc (the one where Windows is installed, as well as all your programs) is a new SSD.

    Assuming that the new SSD is at least as large as your current system (c) partition and assuming that there are no other partitions on your current hard drive more (I assume that your current D: is a CD or DVD drive) the right way to achieve your goal would be to do the following:

    • Clone the current C: drive on the SSD drive (preferably, but not necessarily, in an external USB enclosure)
    • Turn off computer
    • Remove the existing computer C: drive
    • Physically install the SSD to the computer (for example, out of the outer shell)
    • Turn on the computer and restart
    • At this point, you can stop (a) or (b) install the old hard drive as a second internal drive or (c) put the old hard drive in the external box.  For one of the last two options, you can use the old hard drive for backup.  I would hold off the coast on the restructuring of the old hard drive for at least a few weeks until you are sure that all cloned correctly.

    If you are not using an external enclosure during the cloning operation (for example, you install the SSD as a secondary internal drive), you MUST shut down the computer WITHOUT REBOOTING and remove the original hard disk before rebooting.  (See, however, notes Anna me at the end of this response.)

    If you want to have the two former players and new internally, be sure to log in using the appropriate connector and set the jumpers to ensure that the SSD is considered to be the main or the "master" drive

    Cloning software

    If you have a Western Digital hard drive, you can get a version of Acronis True Image free of WD (http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get the software of cloning separately (this is not an exhaustive list and in no particular order, some are free, some not):

    Acronis True Image Home
    EASEUS ToDo Backup
    Paragon Drive Copy or Partition Manager Personal
    Casper
    Norton Ghost

    XXClone

    Macrium Reflect free
    What follows is a very old post of 'Anna' in the Microsoft support newsgroups (the predecessor of "Microsoft Answers", which, in turn, was the predecessor of the current "Microsoft Community."  I edited the message refer only to cloning, rather than "Disc imaging" as well (another method of backup not useful in your situation). Although some details have changed with the new versions of the software, it is always interesting to read:

    Detailed instructions for the use of Acronis True Image leprogramme to clone a hard drive

    Within the framework either of these two backup & recovery process, you are
    dealing with two hard drives - source & destination records say.
    the source is the HARD disk drive you want to save and the destination disk
    is the HARD disk that will be the recipient of the cloned content of the
    source disc or the recipient of the disk image that you create.

    When you use both methods, it is usually best for most users to use a
    drive external HARD as the disk of destination, i.e. the recipient of the cloned
    content of the source diskette or the recipient of the disk image created. This


    can be either a USB or Firewire cable or external SATA HARD drive. While the other internal
    HARD drive can also serve as the destination disk, that there is an additional element
    safety in the use of an external HARD drive because this player will normally be
    disconnected the system except for the cloning disk or recovery
    process.

    Here are the step by step instructions for
    by using the Acronis True Image 9 program to clone the content of a HARD disk to
    external HARD disk. (The steps are essentially the same using the latest ATI 10)
    (version):

    1. with two hard drives (source & destination disks) connected, start.
    Ensure that no other storage device, for example, flash drives, ZIP drives, etc.,.
    are connected. It is also probably a good idea to close all programs, you
    may have to work in the shadow - including any antivirus antispyware
    programs - before this disk-to-disk cloning operation.

    2. access to the Acronis True Image 9 program, under "Pick a task", click
    on 'Clone disk '. (In version 10 of ATI, click "manage hard disks" in the)
    "Choose a tool" box, and on the next screen click 'Clone disk').

    3. in the next window "Welcome to the Disk Clone Wizard!", click Next.

    4. in the next window of the "Clone" Mode to select the automatic option (it should
    be the default option selected) and click Next.

    5. on the next window of 'hard drive' Source, ensure that good source
    HDD (disk you duplicate of) was selected (highlight).
    Click Next.

    6. on the next window of 'hard disk of Destination', ensure that good
    destination of HDD (disk you duplicate to) has been selected (even once, click
    to highlight). Click Next.

    7. in the next window, select the option "delete partitions on the.
    destination hard disk. Understand that all data currently on the disk which
    will be that the recipient of the clone will be removed before the disk cloning
    operation. Click Next.

    8. the next window will reflect the disc source and destination. Once again
    confirm that the correct commands have been selected. Click Next.

    9. on the next window, click on the button continue. A message box appears
    which indicates that a restart will be required to undertake the drive cloning
    operation. Click on restart.

    10. the cloning operation will pronounce on reboot. With modern
    components and a medium to high power processor, data transfer rate will
    be in the range of approximately 450 MB/min at 800 MB/min during cloning to
    an external USB HARD disk. much faster when cloning to another internal
    HARD DRIVE.

    11. when the cloning operation has been completed, a message
    indicating the disk cloning process was a success, and ask you to
    Shut down the computer by pressing any key. Do it and unplug your USB
    external HARD disk.

    If, however, the destination drive was another * internal * HARD drive, see the
    NOTE below.

    12 note that cloned content now residing on the external USB HARD drive take
    on the file system of the source drive. For example, if before the
    disk cloning operation your USB external HDD was formatted FAT32 and
    your XP operating system has been formatted to NTFS, the cloned content will be formatted in NTFS.
    There is no need to format the USB external HARD disk before the disk cloning
    operation. Similarly, it is not necessary before the operation of disk cloning
    to format a drive HARD internal if use you a drive HARD internal as the
    destination drive.

    13. the system restore can be performed by cloning the content of the
    data from the external DRIVE for a normal HARD internal disk drive
    process of cloning such drive as described above.

    NOTE: Just another point which should be emphasized with regard the
    the recipient of the clone disk cloning operation would be an another intern
    HARD drive and not a USB cable or Firewire external HARD disk. Immediately after the disk
    cloning of the machine must be decommissioned and the source that HARD drive should
    be disconnected. Boot ONLY on newly cloned drive. CAN I NOT BOOT
    IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE OPERATION OF CLONING WITH TWO CONNECTED DRIVES.
    It is quite possible that in doing so, it is likely to cause future
    starting with the cloned disk problems. Of course there is no problem in this
    area should be a port USB or Firewire EHD be the beneficiary of the clone since
    device is not usually bootable in an XP environment.

    **************************************************************************************************

    LEM:

    As you may know not my previous posts about this issue of cloning/disk-image disk, I am rather partisan passionate about Casper 6 - disk cloning program and highly recommend this comprehensive program for most PC users as a backup tool. (I recognize that this is probably of little interest to the OP because I guess it is concerned primarily or exclusively with cloning just the content of its failure (apparently) HARD drive to a newer HARD disk. And it seems that it may have other problems as well!)

    The reason for this post is in my "NOTE" (quoted above) caveat regarding the sea program. I wanted to mention that one of the main reasons we prefer program Casper to other disk cloning programs (for example, the Acronis one) is that, unlike these other programs Casper completely avoids this potential problem I did reference.

    During the two years since we started working with the Casper drive cloning program we had done (or were involved with) hundreds of disk cloning operations, involving a wide variety of PC brands/models, hard disks (both PATA & SATA), etc. During this time, we have never met a * single * instance of the problem raised. IE a user could clone the contents of his HARD 'source' to another disc * internal * HARD drive and would not (possible) later problem affecting the ability to start the (cloned) destination HARD disk even when the system was booted to the HARD drive with the cloned HARD disk connected source * immediately * after the disk cloning operation.

    Under this scenario the cloned HDD would be obviously treated as a HARD secondary, a drive letter assignment drive of (obviously) other than C:. However, the source disk HARD later disconnect so that would imply the boot * only * the newly cloned HARD drive, this drive would start without incident and be granted the 'normal' C: drive letter assignment.

    In addition, two hard drives must be connected in the system and the user changes the BIOS boot priority setting to accommodate a first start at the cloned disk as HDD will start without incident. And, of course, the ancient source THAT HDD would be then treated by the system as a secondary as HDD should in these circumstances.

    And if the user decides to start at the disk of origin at a later time (for some reason any), the boot of this player would normally occur.

    I thought that the information above might be interesting for you & others.

  • Windows 8.1 upgrade is not possible because win 8 is not enabled

    A few months ago, I bought a new laptop of Toshiba Satallite with 8 Windows preinstalled
    Now I want to upgrade Windows 8 to 8.1 Windows. But I don't see the upgrade of Windows 8.1 in Windows store. I think it's because my current installed windows seems not you be activated...

    When I try to activate, I get error: 0xC004F074.
    I found a solution using the command: SLUI 3 and then enter the product key to activate it, but I don't have a product key! There is no sticker with a product key on the laptop.

    Could someone help me with this question, so I can activate my current installation of Windows 8 and upgrade to Windows 8.1?

    Post edited by: mbarten

    Hello

    I had some problems with an upgrade to 8.1 to win in the past...
    Finally, I managed to install the Windows 8.1 update once the laptop has been set back to factory settings.

    I'm not sure if this should be done in your case, but where the 8.1 Win update is not possible after installing all the windows updates, you should reset the PC back to factory settings. After that the upgrade should work.

  • Satellite A660 - upgrade with keyboard backlight

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A660-141. Initially, it was without backlid keyboard, but I recently bot a replacement with feature backlit for my laptop, but when I connect all backlit do not work... Can someone help me to activate it? All the world has the same replacement?

    http://1drv.Ms/1grM9M8

    Hello

    I have this model of laptop, but AFAIK this light in the BIOS option is for function buttons. With this option, you can enable/disable illumination for these buttons.
    In my opinion it has nothing to do with the keyboard.
    Mobile phones with keyboard backlit have BIOS option for keyboard only and you don't have it so I think that it is not supported by the BIOS and upgrade is not possible.

  • Satellite A65 - Crash during the upgrade of the BIOS. Not now boot.

    I have a satellite A65 s-1064, and I was upgrading the BIOS from windows. Suddenly, the computer turns off, and I thought that it meant that the update was made. I pressed the power button, and booted the laptop, but remained at a black screen. I thought maybe the BIOS was always something, so I left for a while. After an hour, I returned to find even on the black screen.

    I pressed the power button to restart, but nothing happened. I finally had to pull on the power cord and the battery. Once I did, I plugged it back in and put the battery in, but nothing happened. No battery charging lights. No power lights at all. Nothing happens when I press the power button. My question is, could do a BIOS upgrade failure, and could I somehow reflash the BIOS without power?

    Hi Brandon,.

    It is very unusual for an upgrade of the Windows BIOS cause this kind of problem. Normally, the power subsystem is quite independent of the BIOS.

    Is there a reset button that you can use to reset the system your A65? (Sorry, but I'm not familiar with the A65). If so try to press it to see if this will allow you to restore the power of your laptop.

    If you get no power at all (try removing the battery and then connect to the AC adapter), then it is possible that the power supply or the motherboard did not in this case, you will need to contact an approved Service Agent for the laptop repaired.
