(SOLVED) ThinkPad Edge 430 keeps locking itself

Hello. I have problem with my computer laptop locking itself. I did a bit of google research and found Thinkadvantage Autolock feature which might be the cause... But after searching my laptop, I get it, it is not installed on my system. Is there another application that could be cause of this "being"? Thanks for help.

Solved. It was the screen saver settings. No screen saver selected, but 'show logon screen' checked and 1 min timer set.

  • Why my Vista laptop keep locking itself?

    Seriously! I'll take a wild guess and say that it crashes itself at least 4 times during the time it takes to write this message. Once already! That's just it. For most people, screesnsaver lock is equal to one (twice, BTW) timed action. Well, I do not run facial recognition, but all parameters have been set acoordingly, and sometimes I'll even turn off recognition. (3 times, ready to stab it!) So I doubt that it is in conflict with anything whatsoever. (4 times) Basically, I can be typing, obviously, or scrolling and all of a sudden ' BOOM! Office locked, and fix me (5!) my log-in windows! Why? I'm about to throw this $2000 * to the wall! 6 times before I hit send! Doug

    Method 1 : start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem is resolved or not, if the issue not to persist in safe mode and then perform a clean boot.

    A: Start in safe mode

    Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

  • Keyboard comes out on my new Thinkpad Edge

    My wife has just received its new Thinkpad Edge (0196-26U 13 "screen, Intel processor, matte black). While not as energetic as our boosted T61 or T400, it is much lighter and adapts to its needs.

    Most of the keys on the keyboard feels good, but our model seems to have a flaw. The upper right corner of the keyboard tray pops out regularly. I can click it back in but there is a visible bulge and with a slight flex of the body it comes out back. In addition, the right side of the END key is depressed compared to the rest of the keys.

    I provide Lenovo today to inquire about a replacement part.

    Anyone else having this problem?

    Received the replacement keyboard today (the day after). It was a simple swap out. The original was clearly misrepresented in the upper right. The replacement unit has a millimeter to give in the same corner, but the framework comes out with an audible 'click'. Not perfect but does not interfere with my typing.

    The keyboard is attached to the frame by tabs at the front and two screw centered on a third of the way left and right. This keeps most of the keyboard firmly in place, especially in the middle where you press the small head of gum. The corners are only kept pressed by the rigidity of the frame of the keyboard. Thus, given any incompatibility with the chassis, there got to be some give.

    That's life I guess.

  • Problem of CPU ThinkPad Edge 14

    Hey

    So I had my Thinkpad Edge 14 since the end of last summer.  I keep putting it off, but now it has got to the point where I have enough of him.  Here's my problem:

    I connect my Thinkpad Edge 14 in the charger, which is obviously plugged into an outlet.  Usually, it is while the system is still working, but recently I tried to l ' first.  Now, about 1-2 minutes after I plug the laptop, the processor begins to FREAK OUT.  I put Rainmeter in place so I can keep track of my RAM/CPU/network and others.  So my little graphic of my CPU starts to spike and it goes from 0 %-> 26 %-> 0 %-> 78 %-> 100 %-> 0% and so on and so forth.  This does not happen over time, what is happening at all times.  The CPU just guard jump and fall.  It's killing my performance.  Everything becomes nervous and slow.  Opening a folder or my browser (which should take 2 seconds, if that) now takes about a minute.  Before, I could just turn off my phone and turn it back on, no problem.  Now, I disable and turn it 3 - 4 times and it is always jumping so I just let it stay there until the machine is loaded.  I got used to load just from one day to the next just so I don't have to deal with in the morning.  I don't have any idea what the problem is or how to stop it.  This has also nothing to do with going to Task Manager and ending a few process.  I tried and it does nothing.

    I hope someone can help me with this problem because I have not seen anywhere.  I looked through the Lenovo Web site and got nothing.


  • Blue screen when you try to install Windows XP on Intel ThinkPad Edge 520

    Hello

    I have a ThinkPad Edge 520 type 1143-B5G with a clean disk and I need to install Windows XP on it, for reasons of inheritance. I read on the pilot of the technology Intel Rapid store being necessary, but this seems not to apply to the 520, only to 220 and 420. The recommended settings are not available on the 520 (nor is the driver itself), and the driver is listed by n/a for the 520 in the list of drivers of Lenovo. But, I always get a BSOD error just as Windows is starting from the installation DVD, after the DVD instructed all pilots, he can think about.

    Anyone know how to fix this?

    Would BTW - be possible to install XP in a separate partition, main alongside Windows 7, on a drive that already has Windows 7 on it? Or a clean disk is needed for this?

    Kind regards

    / EvA

    Hello and welcome,

    What settings are you looking for?  It seems that there is a problem with the mode of operation of HD.  The E520 BIOS has an option to change the SATA compatibility instead of AHCI mode?  You will not be able to install a version of "Vanilla" of XP without adding the correct AHCI driver or compatibility mode.

    What version of BIOS do you have?  I see this rather cryptic reference in the BIOS 1.20:

    "[Fixes problem] problem reading/writing data to the SATA compatibility mode."

    It is possible to dual-boot XP and 7, but the best way to do is to install XP first and then let the 7 Installer put in place the configuration dual-boot.  You would still have the problem of compatibility (IDE) vs AHCI mode.

    Ah, lookinng a little further, there is a driver AHCI for XP in Lenovo driver matrix.  The readme file includes instructions on installation.

    Readme for Intel SATA controller AHCI Driver for Windows

  • ThinkPad Edge 15 wireless problems

    I have 3 thinkpads that after a reload of fees cannot connect to wireless networks. I went through and installed different drivers wireless on lenovo Web site.

    I went through several stages, others have had similar problems, but he has not made a difference.

    I have installed:

    Shortcut keys & patch

    Power Manager & pilot

    Chipset

    The realtek - ethernet networking and communications LAN adapter driver

    I installed and removed each available wireless adapter

    Type: 0319-46U

    On a side note in the Device Manager screen there is an alert of "Network controller" saying no driver installed for this device. I conclude that it is a Realtek device, but beyond that, I'm lost.

  • Ghost of a Thinkpad Edge 520

    We recently purchased some of thinkpad edge laptops. We had planned on a configuration of the laptop and confgiured and taking a ghost of the disc to clone the rest of the machines. However, the laptop hangs at the thinkpad bios screen. I saw some thinkpads more that a special option while the image could solve the problem. Also, we noticed that the notebook had a score of 1.5 GB weird in front of the windows one. If someone got it work before? Or does anyone have a tool that they have used successfully.

    Note: We had a picture of a permeable lot of thinkpad edge that would be ghost very well. (Although the picture does work on this most recent batch.)

    The problem has been that the ghost should be started or properly defined in a - mode IB for the ghost to copy the MBR.

  • SimpleTap for thinkpad edge e530

    I just got my Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E530 and downloaded single tap. It does not work when I touch the screen with my fingers. I did some research online and realized that some computers do not have a touch screen. does anyone know if my computer has a touch screen and if so how to solve the simpletap so I was touch my screen with my fingers and make work? Thank you!

    Welcome to the community!

    I believe that the portable only in several Lenovo product lines that have multi touch (pen + finger) screens are Tablet PCs, like the X230T and some of the IdeaPads. If I'm wrong, I'm sure an expert Lenovo is soon be along to correct me, but at this point, I'd say you not 'touch' ability on your edge.

  • ThinkPad Edge E420 keyboard (FRU) part number

    I have a Thinkpad Edge E420 model CTO 1141 - I need to replace the keyboard (spilled coffee and the keys are blocked)-since it is out of warranty, I intend to do it myself - when I looked for parts.

    If I give the model number, then the FRU for the keyboard presents itself as 04W0764.

    If I give the serial number also then the FRU will be 04W2631.

    Which is the right to a 04W0764 or a 04W2631?

    Two identical models are?

    Please notify.

    Thank you

    Hi bhaskar39, welcome to the forums.

    both are actually correct.  As far as I can tell that the 04W2631 is a number of 'old' that has been replaced by 04W0764. You can also use a 04W0800 that is from another manufacturer to another.
