  • 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.

  • Lenovo Y500 Dual Graphics = Sli

    Hey guys, I'm kinda new to all this stuff graphics double, so I was wondering if you could help me.

    I bought this laptop: (Lenovo Y500 Dual Graphics)

    http://shop.Lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/Web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:item.detail?...

    So what I want to ask is: This means I'll have 2 unique instead Gt 750 m straight graphics cards? OR does this mean I have to buy an another Gt 750 m to use the sli option?

    If she says "Dual Graphics" in the name, it comes with two cards. You lose all your DVD - RW.

  • T430s - BSOD (of driver power state failure). Please help identify the driver

    I meet regularly with BSOD on my T430s / Win7 when switching mode standby (Fn + F4). The error message is driver_power_state_failure. This happens almost every day. Driving me crazy!

    I know it's a common problem (I also had with a former T500, but not on T420). After Googling around, I discovered WinDBG and how to identify the faulty driver that is causing the problem.

    However, I could not install the tool - or debuggers package (referenced on windbg.org), nor the tool set + a .NET framework from the Microsoft Web site. The old guard quit the installer with no message (although the Remove Programs dialog shows the thing installed, it seems to be no program to run), the latter does install without no diagnosis (installation only, tried the debugging tools tried to install the complete package - same result).

    So, can someone please help to analyze the memory dump and to identify the faulty driver? What file is needed for this - the memory full image (from folder/Windows /, ~ 500 MB in size) or the minidump file (from/Windows Minidump file / / /, ~ 700 KB in size)? Or both?

    Help a fellow fan of ThinkPad enjoy his work tool

    Several days after, I don't get BSOD more, even though I kept pushing the laptop "standby mode" on a regular basis, with or without food. Since already BSOD passed almost every day (to, like, try every 3rd or 4th go to sleep) and now there is none, I would try and call this problem is "solved".

    Let's see if just once he returns

    I'm not really sure what has helped exactly - I've only updated (a little) drivers manually (after Lenovo update system running with only a few boxes checked). These pilots were audio, video and network ones. USB 3.0 driver has been updated before, but that alone did not effect.

    I've also updated the BIOS via the Lenovo system update (strange, but it worked, unlike my manual attempt via downdloading non-bootable-CD version of the Lenovo Web site).

    Hope this helps other people are having the same problem.

  • Cannot change HDD or password user on lenovo y500

    Hi guys, I have Lenovo y500 SLI, i7 3630 8 GB ram, 1 TB HARD drive with the propulsion system of hybrid 16ssd. BIOS 1.05 version

    The only problem I have is that I put my bios password and after the HARD drive password. so whenever I start the computer after restart for example, I write my passwords. I put the same password for everything, so it's easy. The only problem I have is that I can not change or cancel the password. has or user. When I try, bios tells me.

    system can disable alone or by the administrator, the password clear user or master password - continue.

    and I can change only the password of the user, but cannot delete it. and set HARD drive password is gray, can not enter. I want to sell my laptop, but the buyer wants the HARD drive password to... remove all solutions? its really strange. In other laptops, it's easy, just together old password, then press enter on the empty space and the password is gone. but not here, what should I do? Thank you

    Now, I had the chance to create the same environment as your in an insydeH20 BIOS.

    It will allow you to change your administrator password as you type your user password to enter the BIOS. This is why you are not able to change or remove your administrator password or master password, since you will not have privileges to modify those with a user password.

    When you enter the BIOS, please use your administrator password, you will be able to remove passwords

    I recently bought a Y580 for almost $1000 (something like 2 or 3 weeks). First of all, it worked perfectly, but yesterday I had to reboot using the button, because it crashed. Now, whenever I start it, either I get a black screen or it freezes when I open something like firefox, explore or just a folder. AND the worst thing is that Ctrl + Alt + Delete does not work so I can't open the Task Manager.

    I don't know if this can help, but once when I reboot the computer, I noticed a message saying something about Verifyhost.exe. And I don't know if it's a coincidence, but "Lenovo TouchZone" reappeared with these questions (I had deleted when I got my computer).

    I'm begging you help me please I am a student and I bought this computer because I needed a good for the College. first of all, I was happy about it but now I'm really angry and I don't know what to do.

  • Facial recognition technology Optimus for T410 questions - please help

    Hi guys, I bought a T410 with NVS 310 graphics card and built-in webcam. Although the battery 9 cells works really well, I always like to save more power using the integrated graphics card Intel in light load. It's supposed to be done using NVIDIA Optimus but I can't ' find it anywhere or how to activate it. Some have said depends on pilots and I did not try that again. Please help for a long time.

    The next question is the software of face recognition, as my friend's Asus laptop has Smartlogon using face. I really enjoy doing on my T but I searched a lot of places and can't find it. I knew he had formerly VeriFace which seems to have stopped developing for Thinkpad. If anyone has this software, please give me the link.

    And once I found a problem with a device called Lexmark X 422, windows 7 reports that it may not start (code 10), I try the new driver and still no use. I have disable (uninstall) it can restore the entire system and now I can't find it in device manager to try to fix it again. My question is what is this device and how to correct these problems?

    Thank you, T rocks!

    Hi and welcome to the forum!

    To Optimus, take a look:- http://support.lenovo.com/hk/en/HintsandTips/hints_show_12832190176531.html

    Lexmark X 422 was probably your webcam, there is no need to do anything if the machine works fine now.

    Not sure on the recognition of faces, as far as I know there not this feature for ThinkPad.

    I hope this helps.

  • My laptop cannot read a CD/DVD. It is a challenge for everyone. Please help help help. ? __

    Hi friends!

    (It is not really a problem, it's a challenge).

    (Before responding, pls read the question carefully)
    First of all, my laptop description:
    Model: Lenovo Y410 7757 54Q
    Operating system: Windows Vista Home Basic

    I use this laptop for 2 years, but there is a problem with this, it is not able to read any CD or DVD, except a few bootable and driver CD/DVD provided by Lenovo and Microsoft at the time of the purchase of this laptop. I encountered this problem several times and I have concluded that this problem can be related to the following questions, as:
    1. Windows registry database
    2 CD/DVD-ROM driver (it is MATSHITA DVD - RAM UJ-85JS ATA Device)
    3. the system BIOS or CD/DVD-ROM Firmware
    4 Codecs
    5. hardware system (i.e. lens or CD/DVD drive itself) and
    6 operating system

    But, I think that this problem is not related to Codecs, operating system or hardware. In any case, it is more than enough for me. I can not be tolerated this problem more. Please, help me out of this problem, so my system can play all types of CD/DVD and I can work properly. This issue is open for anyone who thinks they are an expert in computer science.

    (Ask: answer this question if you could understand what underlying problem and please please don't make stupid as responses to install codecs or clean your lens etc..) Now I really want to get rid of this terrible problem.)

  • Card problems or video driver with a N200, please help!

    I have a lenovo 3000 N200, that's really cool, works even at games very well, including the most recent.

    But, is it normal that the pilot program display for freeze-out in Warcraft 3? He always does that when you access the list of cards in the game and after 3-5 minutes during a real game. It defines the resolution up to 640 X 480 (from 1280 X 800) and in 16 colors. I have to reset it to get it to work. Also, it does the same thing in Spore - if after seeing the pilot written for Spore installed, (that I downloaded from the lenovo site) I have not encountered this problem far. In addition, Second Life stops - Fortunately it does not freeze the drivers. I understand that the model I have is not designed for the game, but if it can run Warhammer 40 k: Soulstorm with graphics settings meduim (on the widescreen) without a lagg I do not understand why it would not be able to manage warcraft 3 - even a m200 express ATi can manage. I mean that a X 3100 to Intel must be much more powerful. (ATi said card lagg with older games like Unreal Tournament)

    I have the latest version of the - official - driver and a Win Xp pro Sp2. I always keep my system updated - register for Essilor, but until this driver has not need sp3 - and cleaned viruses.

    Please help me?

    Ooh, it seems that I was right, my problems stems from the incompatibility of the software.

    Namely the based opengl driver (this igfx something of the file that is in the rror reports I receive).

    I solved the problem with Warcraft 3, you have to click with the right button on the icon of warcraft 3 and type the destination line (just after the second "")-opengl or - swtnl. (or - d3d, nota bene, who has not worked for me)

    Although even now it's not as pretty as on my table top pc, it works fine and farily good graphics.

    I think your problem is similar to mine and is amplified - sort of - by Vista somehow, it seems to cause a more severe software incompatibility.
