• Questions of T400

  Hey guys.

  The hinges are loose on my T400 and I am on the last day of my warranty. I was wondering if I would be able to move things (keyboard is steep; left clicker under the touchpad is bordering off... etc fall but the hinges are my priority) on my laptop fixed, even if it's the last day. I kept the laptop in excellent condition (I have baby the crap out of my laptop) the last two days on my laptop hinges became loose, however, and whenever I use my laptop, I feel that my screen will simply fall (the horror!) From what I've read on the Web site, if they sent someone to my home to solve the problems of my laptop, it would be the next day and my warranty is over that time it would mean I have to put on a site "lenovo fix - it? Any advice would be helpful. Thank you!

  I would call the warranty #. I always assumed it means that you need to report the problem at the end of the warranty, not that it must be fixed at the end of the warranty.

  BTW, the waiting on parts T400 are 3 + weeks, so you may be waiting some time for them to come in. (I'm now in week 3d of my week 3 ETA on hinges, replacing the screen + card reader).

• T400 Downgrade to XP question

  I recently bought a T400 with the Vista business with XP downgrade option. I had read that to mean that it comes with Vista installed and had an opportunity to go back to XP, if you wish. The system comes with XP installed and no disk to upgrade to vista. My question is how to move to Vista and it is possible to get the recovery partition to restore on Vista if necessary?

• Scan fingerprint T400 is non-functional + R & R question

  I expect to hear from someone else with a similar configured T400 who did a fresh install of Win 7 Professional.

  Have you had problems to install and use the fingerprint reader software?

  Have you had problems installing rescue & recovery 4.3?

  I have no luck installing R & R, and the fingerprint reader does not work.

  Moderator Note: subject adjusted line.

  Seriously, I appreciate the detailed responses that everyone has provided to try to help solve my problems. You are all a great resource and contribution to this community.

  1. the question of the fingerprint has been resolved with the help of a hotline to lenovo. After a quick list of my troubleshooting steps, the support agent has ordered a replacement palmrest with a new scanner of fp. Problem solved! More funny thing is - the scanner FP software tutorial still picked up my fingerprints, but he was not one of my prints or establishing a single sign on the session. After a quick exchange FRU - bang, it worked immediately.

  2. the question of R & R no longer exists after the replacement of the fingerprint scanner. I guess that there is a hook in the software requiring the FP scanner is fully functional and it bombed.

  Fixed and fixed.

• Question of ' system cannot activate the graphics performance "T400

  Hi all

  I have a ThinkPad T400 with Switchable Graphics, running Windows 7 x 64, with the latest drivers provided by Lenovo.  I tried to go to the ATI graphics card today for the first time in a little and got a message "system cannot activate the graphics performance", invites me to disable all external video connections or disable all graphics applications.

  The problem is, I don't have any open application.  I disabled several startup programs, uninstalled VMWare Workstation and tried several services, I thought that might interfere with the manual - still no luck switching.  I'll reinstall the driver, but in the meantime, anyone have any ideas, or find a resident program that tempt me not not to be able to switch from Intel for the ATI graphics card?

  I believe that after checking the system logs, the error was somewhere in libraries Visual C++ Runtime. I decided at this point, that the question was too difficult to follow and with Service Pack 1 available, I saved and reloaded. Problem solved.

• Inactivity timer T400 questions?

  I seem to have an interesting problem with my T400, which seems to have developed in the last few hours or more. Whatever the settings in the power management or power of Win7 settings, my screen invariably cut to one or two minutes of idle time, whether on battery or AC. I find it extremely annoying and try to tackle this problem. Has anyone come across this and managed to fix it?

  I've never seen this problem, but you are sure that you do not have stretch activated battery and do not have a screen saver with just a black screen placed 1 min? Also, you have correctly applied the power plan? And of course you are talking about the internal display on the laptop, not an external monitor?

  Did you change for a few hours like software installation, change the settings of system of som or anything at all?

  Just guessing here for some reasons possible and really have no idea why this happen.

• T400 - question sleep

  Dear all,

  We bought 50 new T400 with HSPA embedded, SSD, battery UltraBay... and unfortunately, I detected a problem while waking up from sleep mode.

  OS is WinXP SP3

  PwrMgrDrv = 1.52

  PwrMgr = 1.54

  ActiveProtection = 2.90

  Hotkey = 2.11

  KeyCustomzier = 1.3.53

  AccConn = 5.3

  PresDir = 4.03

  UltraNav = 2.04

  When the lid is closed, the laptop becomes (as it should) in standby mode. After having opened the lid, the laptop is locked (windows) and I can no longer enter name of user and password. Some of the major work (enter, Tab), but others are not, BACKSPACE shows rectangels on entering the user name field. Only solution is to Power button...

  Any idea?

  Thank you!

  I found the problem

  This is not a hardware issue or software issue of products, Lenovo, his company of backup (Setup Protection) where the material "keylogger detection" setting is set to "ban", if I disable this control work... I am waiting for a response from Utimaco...

• T400 beep questions!

  I'm having some trouble with my month old T400. Every time there is an update being installed where a reboot is required, if its from Microsoft or Lenovo ThinkVantage, the system goes black after the shutdown to restart, beeps 1-3-3-1, then doesn't come back. The screen remains black as I hear that the system is still running.

  I've seen other messages have the same succession of 1-3-3-1 beep (beep... break... beep.beep.beep... break... beep.beep.beep... break... beep), but they don't seem to have all the solutions. Any ideas, or is it a flawed system?

  System works well, once I have manually the hold down the power button and turn it manually again, but its starts to worry me.

  Any idea of solutions?

  Sounds like your memory or internal video card is going on you. Try to reinsert your memory modules (or Exchange) first. If you still hear the beep model after Exchange of memory, then the problem is with internal video on your motherboard. You can learn more about our symptoms beep on this site:

  This should solve your problem.

• Questions T400 and VGA

  I'm fairly certain that my VGA output was working fine until today.  I do not use the external display which is often so it is hard to say exactly when the issue began.

  The external display fine during start-up and the animated Windows logo (it's on Windows 7, btw).  But when the login screen appears, the screen looks washed out as a photo overexposed with very low color.

  The only thing I installed recently is TurboTax 2009.  Could software as it will interrupt the VGA?

  An interesting I noticed also was right when Windows is going down (the "shutting down" message), the VGA display looks normal without any problems.

  Does anyone have ideas, what could be the problem?

  Moderator Note: images > 50 k converted into programming.

  I had this problem as well on driver 8.15. ???.

  Solved by clicking on the icon for the Intel GMA system tray and open the properties of the chart, choose Color Enhancement and choose the monitor falling down. Click on default settings and you should be fine.

  How first of all ask the question? Gamma has been wayyyyyyy too high without apparent reason. I certainly didn't change the gamma of the external screen when it happened to me, and I doubt that the original poster did this either.

• T400 his crackling / popping question

  Hi guys,.

  I have a very annoying problem on a machine by also excellent.

  Whenever I play my music via my Media Player, or Watch youtube, I get crackle and light pop of the enclosure (same thing with my headphones).

  I installed the latest drivers from lenovo.

  No idea how I might be able to solve this problem?

  Any chance I might be able to find the previous version of the audio driver somewhere just to try out it?

  Thank you!

  xpking, I just found the solution to my problem. But it is quite a bit different from what you experience, in the sense that I still have the sound and the sound of crackling existed when the system is on, it's probably worth a try.

  It's the solution to another post in the forum of lenovo:

  http://forums.Lenovo.com/LNV/board/message?board.ID=SL_ThinkPads&view=by_date_ascending&message.ID=1...

  I couldn't find the driver version previous post mentioned, so I just drove back from the pilot as said and it worked!

  Device Manager could not find Intel ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI more however. Don't know if that will be a problem or not.

• Brand new T400 with 9-cell 90 Watt charger and - purchase of 2 charger question

  I would like to order while the accessories are on sale.  New on Lenovo (Dell computers which was has long had enough).

  Machine came with the enhanced port replicator and 90 Watt charger.  I want to buy 2 magazine.  I'm of the belief:

  (1) whether 65 or 90 watt Chargers will work only with the PC (i.e. no Port Replicator).

  (2) a 90 Watt charger CAN charge my battery 9 cells faster, 40% faster.

  The 90 watt weighs a bit more, so for the trip, I'd be more inclined to the lighter and cheaper to 65 watts.  I just wanted to clarify the time to charge the battery.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  65 is ideal for travel. It will take more time to load. Also check the charger price on Amazon.

• T400 - will not be turned on, no lights

  Hi all

  I have an ' 09 beginning T400. It has been a fantastic portable, although now I only use it when I travel.

  Last year it worked very hot, especially when playing games. I use a portable fan to cool, don't think that it checked because I don't use it very often.

  Today it froze and I force shut it down by pressing the power button. When it is restarted it ran a disk check (I had a sleep and saw no results) and when it loaded windows he was running very slowly. After a bit of experimentation, I worked on the wifi and switchable graphics drivers were not working. I was able to get to a usable state by disabling the discrete graphics in the bios and boot into safe mode.

  I was about to reinstll the drivers. While the download I tried to re - activate the discrete graph (in bios) and started. However, until I'm on the Boot Manager screen, I got a BSOD (c000021a). I turned off the laptop, but it wouldn't start again. None of the lights on the laptop work, even if it is plugged.

  The only things I changed in the bios were switchable graphics (which I changed the default setting) and the "beep" on the hibernation. I don't know if the battery has a charge, they should be 100% it was plugged all the time. I noticed that the laptop was working very hot while working with it.

  Our tech guy seems to think that the motherboard may have overheated and "fade", but I'll be away for a few weeks and he has no experience with Lenovo computers. "." So I was wondering if anyone has experienced this before, or if there are tricks to get the laptop begin again (if this isn't a motherboard problem)?

  Thank you!

  Try the routine of 10-30.

  Remove the battery and unplug AC. Now press the button 11 times and on the 11th press hold for 30 seconds. Attach the AC and see if it boots.

  This question poison old ThinkPad forever. I haven't found the true cause other than my age-related speculation.

• Clean Windows 7 install on t400

  I'll do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit on my t400. It was my son from the College and vista tracks. It is still running terrible even with the update of ram last year, so I think that a clean install is the only way. I did a clean more than a decade installation and never on a lenovo so I want to assure you that I know what I'm doing and I have a few questions.

  1 are there problems with it being granted College? I never accessed as administrator to make some changes or updates. Put in shape will address potential problems?

  2. is there a specific Lenovo partition, which must be kept?

  3. can I use Download Manager to download the drivers?

  4. is to install the two rescue and recovery (which I did not currently) and thinkvantage (which I can't use currently) just a matter of each download?

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  I guess you will completely replace what's there, and you don't need my personal files, etc. I first update the BIOS with the latest version and bot in the BIOS and press F9 to load the default values. I would simply erase the disc first. I use something like Active Kill Disk (free). If it's a copy retail, normal or student, there should be no problem. It is best if you have a version which includes service pack 1 already. If you don't have SP1, you can have problems if you have already upgraded the hard disk larger format, advanced. I'd install ThinkVantage System Update to make updates from Lenovo.
