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.

  • All the sounds of my event disappeared and have been replaced by a beep loud. Impossible to control via Control Panel.

    My sounds don't work anymore and the only noise I still is a strong signal. The sound is still very well when I play DVD, etc. I can't fix the sounds via Control Panel - I reapplied the sounds of Windows by default, but the problem persists. In addition, the beep does not disappear when I choose No. sounds or turn off the sound.
    This could be a coincidence, but this problem started when I tried to update AdAware and had an error of update that resulted in an error message reappears frequently interfered with Windows startup. I uninstalled AdAware and no longer see the error message, but still the beep.

  • 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.

  • BEEP in Oracle EBS R12.1 - characters in question marks

    Hello

    We have recently upgraded to EBS 12.1.1 and have noticed that since doing so, outputs of some characters in PDF format (from BEEP reports run in EBS) are displayed as question marks.

    Models are created by using the Arial font, and the characters that are not displayed are "long dashes" "-" (being) and where Microsoft Word group three openings of the diaphragm together «...» "(\'85)


    For example, the text in Word format and in the PDF file when run using Oracle BI Publisher Desktop is:


    Three openings of the diaphragm...
    A long terms-
    Short a dash-

    However, the output in PDF format when you run the report in EBS is:

    Three openings of the diaphragm?
    A long line?
    Short a dash-



    Has anyone previously met, or nobody knows how to solve. I tried downloading a file of font Arial and creation of maps (although Arial is already under a seeded font file), but this has not solved the problem.



    Concerning
    Carl

    Hello

    Check if you have all the necessary fonts under your jre/lib/fonts ($AF_JRE_TOP and $OA_JRE_TOP) on all of your nodes and web simultaneously. Or, try to copy the fonts from $FND_TOP/resource (check post install steps for XMLP 5.6.3). Rebound of mid-range necessary after copy.

  • Question about BIOS beep codes

    Difficulty locating the BIOS beep codes... can anyone help? I get 3-3-1...

    Hello

    I found a list of some BIOS beep codes but to be honest I m do not know if this can help you:
    [BIOS beep codes: http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm]
    ]
    The problem is that the BIOS beep codes are different and not all BIOS provides the meaning of the code.

    In my opinion only the authorized service provider can help you know what this code means.

    Why such a code beep appear?
    Well, the BIOS beep code if the POST (Power On Self Test) fails.
    Most of the Power On Self Test impossible to successfully because of the failure of hardware; for example, motherboard problem.

  • 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).

  • 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...

  • (Redirected) Question 6 - beep Alienware Aurora R4

    Hello

    I used my R4 Aurora for 1 year and a half with no problems and one day the screen closed for 3s, and when the image is returned, Windows show me a problem with the graphics driver. I rebooted the computer and the Aurora was beep 6 Date of 6. After 5 minutes, I was finally able to start and run a full scan of the BIOS but nothing has been revealed. I've just updated the nVidia Driver to be sure, it is not from this and the computor back to work as before.

    3 months later (took place last Sunday), the same thing happens again. But this time even after the update of the new last driver, the computer completely froze again after 2 h and again it was beep 6-time but the BIOS scan found nothing. Today, the computer crashes again during my game and rebooting, it freezes on the BIOS screen. After another reboot, it finally starts and I run the Dell diagnostic tool, but nothing was found.

    To me, it looks like really is a problem with the RAM, because it seems completely random crashes and I do not believe that the graphics card that could affect the operating system like that. However, I would like your feelings especially on what the beep-6 means during the BIOS load? Is it possible that a problem of RAM can trigger these beeps too even if the graphics card is not at all affected?
    Kind regards
