Start-up of Thinkpad R60 problems

I had turned on my Thinkpad R60 morning to check certain emails and left for work. When I got home, the laptop screen was black, and I assumed that it had frozen on the screen saver. However, when I tried to restart the computer, the computer starts to turn on and then let a series of 4 beeps, one per second all the same length. The screen is still the same ordinary black color. If someone can tell me what to do about this problem I would be very happy. Thank you!

Welcome to the forum!

I hope that your ThinkPad is still under warranty, because she needs a new card system based on HMM, due to the failure of security chip.

Good luck.

  • Lenovo Thinkpad R60 home network

    I have a home network (wired) composed of two desktop computers and my Lenovo Thinkpad R60.

    I was recently overseas with my Lenovo, but since the return to the House, I discovered that my Lenovo does not appear as a network on my desktop PC.

    I ran the Configuration Wizard from the network, but without success.

    The Lenovo doesn't show even on my network places.

    I checked the security of network card on my Norton Anti Virus and all three computers are listed on the map.

    I tried to close all three computers and reboot and then, by running the wizard Network Configuration on each computer from the desktop of the host. But without success.

    My two computers are connected and my Lenovo is linked to my offices, but no office is connected with my Lenovo.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    Hi Andy

    I thought more of what you had advised and realized that I had no profile at all. So I created a profile and you advised that I have disabled the security to allow the file and printer sharing.

    Eureka!

    Problem solved

    Thanks a lot for your advice to solve a problem that no one else offered a solution

    See you soon

  • ThinkPad R60 USB host controller drivers?

    had some problems with my ThinkPad R60 USB ports (pilots do you think corrupt)

    So I need to reinstall the USB host controllers.

    someone told me to download and install the chipset drivers, the USB host controllers are part of the chipset drivers.

    The chipset drivers is only a 1 MB file

    Link - http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-62939

    Is that really all - install the latest chipset drivers and the USB host controllers are reinstalled...?

    Thank you.

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to configure the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Method 2: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: While running scan on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when scanning try to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

  • Thinkpad R60 ram slot problem

    Hello

    I have 2 x 1 GB (same type) and 1x512mo (another manufacturer) ram sticks. With all the seperatelly put into the lower slot laptop works very well. If I put in 2x1gb I get 4 beeps and no boot, if I put 1 gb + 512 mb, I get a black screen with no beeps. If I put no stick in the top slot I get 4 beeps. If I don't put no Rams I get 1-3-3-1. I tried to apply pressure on the slot - even 4 beeps with 2x1GB. I use the latest version of the bios with the default settings.

    Looks like the top slot is defective. Is it possible to fix it? Thank you.

    You may need to get a new motherboard. It is the only way to fix it. Perhaps check on ebay or forum.thinkpads.com.

    Also check that there is no dust in the upper ram slot.

  • Keyboard ThinkPad E430 problem

    Hello

    I have a Thinkpad E430 (type 3254). It is around the age of 14 months. Yesterday, he randomly started having a problem with his keyboard. It acts like the Enter key is pressed continuously, and about 1 sec after clicking another button, it stops. The key entry by itself stopped work shorts and only sometimes and translates a continuous press.

    As soon as I start, enter has entrance and start normal is interrupted. If I press a key it is normal again until an operating system load. By example, if I start debian, line breaks get inserted between the console enter messages that are displayed until I have a press and if I boot windows, it gets stuck on the login screen that is given without the password, so a loop is executed. This problem also sometimes randomly while working normally.

    The keyboard has not yet seen use intense or any other drink spills. Usually, I keep the laptop at my desk and use an external keyboard. The last time I took it was 2 weeks ago.

    All the world is facing this issue before? I doubt, it may be a software problem, so I need a new keyboard?

    Thanks for the help.

    ook so that nobody knows or don't bother. Anyway, I solved it and I'll leave it here.

    I called lenovo helpline, and they told me to remove the power supply and the battery and then keep the power button pressed for 2 x 30 seconds. It seems that the drainage load static on the motherboard. It helped but only for a few minutes. Last night, I drained the battery at 5% and the question is now gone. I recharged to 100%, and the system is normal.

    I don't know what caused it, but it might have something to do with the power manager Lenovo, which I recently installed.

  • Virtualization e335 ThinkPad Edge problem

    Hello

    I just got a new 335 edge with Windows 8 Pro 64 bit installed. It has 8 GB of RAM and AMD APU E2-2000.

    I had a few problems with this. One was that I could not activate Bluetooth in Windows 8 (solved by installing an earlier version of the Thinkpad Hotkey features software). Virtualization is another issue that is still unresolved.

    AMD Virtualization is enabled in the BIOS. However, Windows 8 as well as virtualization AMD tool state once he is off. I, after the search of these forums and the web, off, cold start machine (remove battery), reactivated it, cold booted again (also removed the battery). However, Windows just won't accept that it is enabled.

    Anyone had similar problems? If so, were you able to solve? Virtualization AMD and DEP was turned on when I got the laptop from Lenovo. Is this what I need to enable / disable?

    I've also opened a ticket with support from Lenovo, and they told me that they need to check a few things, but cannot do so at this time that the system is brand new and not all the details of the system have been put in their system yet. They opened a call and will get in touch with me at some point.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I managed to "solve" the problem. There seems to be a problem with the BIOS. I turned virtualization AMD 'Stop' and then punt cold and virtualization now works and systeminfo reports the following: requirements of Hyper-V: a hypervisor has been detected. Characteristics required for
    Hyper-V will not appear.

    To test this, I turned virtualization 'On' and once more, he became disabled in Windows. Turning 'Off' in the BIOS re-enabled in Windows. This looks like "bug" in the BIOS (later - 1.7). Do you want to know if any staff of Lenovo monitor these forums? If this isn't the case, then I would like to present a 'bug report' if possible? (I'll tell the support on the resolution engineer when / if he calls me back).

    Thank you

  • ThinkPad T510 problem with the CPU frequency

    Hello
    I was a problem with the CPU frequency - in DC or battery it works 1/2 frequency (1196 MHz), but when my thinkpad plugged and is with battery it works OK (2400 MHz).
    Do you have any suggestions how to solve this problem.

    ThinkPad T510 (4384) intel core i5, 6 GB of Ram.
    Thank you.
    Best regards Nikolay

    What your seeing is actually normal and a result of power management settings. When it is on battery, the reduced CPU clock speed to improve the battery life and only increases in speed if a program requires processing power (games, adobe photoshop, CAD, etc.). If you wish, you can disable this feature by setting the "maximum performance" option in the Lenovo power management program and get into the bios and disable "Intel Speedstep" and similar power options setting. I hope this helps.

  • IdeaPad Yoga 13: start, stop, and touch screen problems

    Hi - I recently bought a Yoga 13 IdeaPad, and although I love the PC, I'm started having tons of problems with it. The computer now usually is blocked on startup and stop: choice of the option (from settings) closed generally won't hurt, and if to do this, it takes forever. Sometimes the power button stays on for 15 minutes after I turned off the computer, and the PC will not be restarted in this State. Yoga often does not start, just freezing on the start screen "Lenovo" flagged "Hourglass" of spinning. It took me several times and when it finally starts, the touchscreen is unresponsive for a while: I have to use the keyboard to drag it to the lock screen and log in. And while the PC has repeatedly sent in "automatic repair" after failing to start, repairs the problem.

    Someone at - it ideas? I'm at the edge of the fair return of Yoga, but I also love it and would love to keep it if these issues can be ironed out.

    Thank you!

  • HP Pavilion Notebook 15-ab083T: laptop upgraded before even starting for the first time = problem?

    Hello!

    I recently bought this laptop with the intention to replace the hard drive (1 TB HDD 120 GB SSD), as well as upgrading the ram from 8 GB to 16 GB. The problem is that I have improved these things before you start for the first time. And now it complains that it cannot find a device boot, even when I insert a USB key with windows 10 iso on it. Or a cd with windows XP. He needs to have the HDD windows 8.1 original in it on first commissioning? It took a while to replace parts...

    Thanks in advance.

    That's very true, I used gparted before checking this again, and it was corrupted. Very well! I ended up installing windows 10 home using a free student license. It's perfect, since I have windows 8.1 before running on the 1 TB hard drive and it was filled with bloatware, thanks to HP (no offense). So, it is nice to have a clean install. Everything works fine now, I had to change some settings of 'Legacy Boot' in the bios to boot from the USB.
