• T420s UltraBay battery 57Y4536 (old) vs A 0, 36310 (new)

  I want to buy UltraBay battery for mine t420s and these 2 options:

  57Y4536 (old) Euro-105

  http://www.Verkkokauppa.com/Fi/product/53279/crsbf

  36310 A 0 (New) - 150 euros

  http://www.Verkkokauppa.com/Fi/product/12878/dhfrs

  The problem with the first battery cheaper on the referenced site above t420s is not listed as a laptop taken in charge. But when I check these:

  http://shop.Lenovo.com/us/sitelets/batteries

  http://www.nbwn.com/products/20937/Notebook-Accessories/battery-power-supply/battery-Lenovo-IBM/Leno...

  The first battery is clearly indicated for t420s.

  I would be grateful if you help me to answer following questions:

  1. is it more age compatible with t420s 57Y4536 ?

  2 are there advantages of the new model on the old model? Is - this block?

  I have defenetelly feel uncomfortable to pay 150 euros for the new model, if the old 105 Euro model works very well.

  Both batteries are basically the same, the 57... We're older, without the authentication chip (does not work in T430s), the 0 a... one is more recent, with authentication chip (also works under T430s).

  I use T420s with the 57Y4536. It's a Li - Pol battery. I bet that the new is also Li - Pol because Li - Pol is the only technology bringing cubic, not cylindrical, which is necessary for this battery.

• T420 Ultrabay SATA speeds?

  Sorry for what is without any doubt a double subject, but I get a lot of contradictory information from many conflicting sources. What kind of speeds I get using a HARD drive instead of the optical drive caddy in a T420? I read everything from SATA1 to SATA3, and I'd like a firm response until I have spend the money.

  T420 and T430 have a SATAIII Ultrabay (6 Gbps) and location for primary hard drive, the slots mSATA on these machines are SATAII (3 Gbps).

• T420-best SSD for use in housing Ultrabay caddy?

  What is the best SSD for use in the Ultrabay caddy in a Thinkpad T420?

  Welcome to the forum!

  Any standard 2.5 "7mm or 9.5 mm SSD should work. I'd stick with brands such as Crucial, Samsung or Intel and are looking for the cost lowest to higher capacity. Considering that the T420 is now several years old, that I doubt that go with the SSD that has specifications "faster" will make a difference in practice.

  BTW the Ultrabay works at speeds of SATA-III (6 Gb/s), so it shouldn't be a bottleneck compared to the internal drive Bay.

• can a t420s run on a battery of ultrabay only?

  does anyone know if this can happen? I'm looking to stock up on the main batteries regular but not all the time lost to a reboot. stick fundamentally wrong in the ultrabay only battery when the main one is low, remove the swap, a principal in another main battery and finally remove the ultrabay battery without having to Hibernate or shut down the computer.

  The only way I see using 2 batteries and main battery 1 ultrabay is:

  1. only insert the main battery and use it until it downstairs.

  2. Insert the battery in the ultrabay. Laptop will switch ultrabay.

  3. replace the main battery to newly loaded while the laptop is on ultrabay battery

  Knit until ultrabay and main batteries are completely discharged.

  I think only in this way that you could achieve 10 hours of normal work of the batteries.

• Best SSD for a T420 under $ 200

  Hello

  I'm awkward between a T420 and a 220 X, especially because the X 220 has a smaller screen and I don't know how I'll be able to adapt to that (I already have glasses, so...).

  What is the best SSD for the T420 under $ 200? Almost any larger than 100 GB capacity should be fine for me as I intend to get a UltraBay housing and put the HARD drive.

  Crucial than any other brand? I'm more interested in the series from Intel. Which Intel series should I watch? As I said, I don't have huge sizes. Good speed is a +.

  The Intel 520 series is also very popular, as is the Samsung 830 series. They are all good. You could do a search on Google for reviews and comparison tests, but I suspect that you will be happy with any of them.

• What SSD the T420 use?

  Hello

  What SSD comes with the T420 now? And if I have a laptop with a HARD drive, can I go out and put in an SSD?

  The 8 MB bug was fixed last summer with an update of the firmware. However, it would be cheaper and you get a faster player if you just ordered a 7mm M4 Crucial and installed yourself. You can get this drive for about $210 shipped on Amazon. Simply create the recovery DVD discs set before installing the SSD drive and use it to restore the stock OS once the SSD is installed. I would also order the UltraBay HDD adapter so that you can put the stock HARD drive in the UltraBay slot. This is useful to keep weekly backups of the SSD on using the software of rescue & recovery came with the laptop.

• Battery life more long T420s

  y at - it a battery of longer life for the T420s. I can't seem to find one on the lenovo site, although it does not find my model number 4171-7fu either. the current battery gives me only a few hours of life.

  any ideas appreciated.

  or just get a second battery of 6 cells. The problem with the ultrabay battery is that they are expensive and their longevity is not large. In addition, it takes about half as long as a 6 main cells and costs the same.

  I have a ThinkPad T420 - with only the USB 2.0 Ports. I bought a docking station with USB 3.0 Port 4337 - but I can't use it with USB 3.0 speed. Where is the problem? What is the solution?

• How can I confirm that my T420 is updated after a fresh installed win7

  Hi all

  Well, as the title says, I just bought a T420 and installed a new SSD. Then, I installed win 7 and managed to get the other drivers from the support page for driver lenovo than win 7 didn't pick up. However, I know there are updates driver and/or utilities lenovo I should put to day and so I was wondering what is the best way to confirm that my system works the latest revisions of drivers/firmwae/bios/utilities... without adding utilities bloatwhare.

  I noticed there is a Thinkvantage utility, which is useful

  Thank you

  Derek

  Good day and welcome to the community.

  Not sure that Thinkvantage 'utility' that you see, but if it's SystemUpdate, then Yes, it is useful for what you hope to accomplish.

  Please see: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/Laptops-and-netbooks/ThinkPad-T-Series-laptops/ThinkPad-T42... for the latest version.

  I hope this helps.

• Incompatible Audio volume T420 - Audio problem.

  Hi all

  recently I've been an audio problem with my T420. It doesn't matter if I use the built-in speakers or an external playback via the audio device, audio volume goes up and down several times for a minute.

  It's rather annoying and irritating. I use the standard driver provided by Lenovo and with stock settings.

  If someone had this problem and could give me some advice?

  Thank you very much!

  The framework was already to the people with reduced mobility.

  I thought, maybe that's the problem, I've been experience, because it is only when I used Ethernet instead of WiFi: DPC latency + audio / mouse skip and stutter on t420--Lenovo's community

  I tried the proposed parameters, without success.

  Interestingly, re - install the same drivers that have been installed previously seems to have solved the problem.

  Maybe some settings or installation screwed up.

• T420 & Windows 8 questions.

  Greetings to the community.

  I would write some of the issues I'm facing after installing windows 8 on my T420.

  I bought the laptop in August with windows 7... then somewhere around early November, I upgraded to Windows 8.

  I met other threads that directed me to the updates for windows 8. I installed everything I could find for windows 8.

  However, the following issues still remain.

  1 micro button mute does not work.
  2 Fn + F2 does not work

  3 Fn + F3 does not work

  4 Fn + F5 does not work

  5 Fn + F6 does not work

  6 Fn + F8 does not work

  7 Fn + PrtSc doesn't work

  8 Bluetooth remains on all the time with no way to disable the right click. Yesterday I downloaded an update through the update of the system for the bluetooth, but the problem remains.

  9 Thinkvantage does nothing.

  Could someone help me identify what might cause these problems and how I could find a solution for the same?

  Any help with much appreciated!

  Thank you.

  Hmmmm it's weird...

• UltraBay HD missing in wake up with Windows 10, T530

  Hello

  Since I changed to Windows 10 (new installation), sometimes the HARD drive in the Ultrabay slot gets detached after wake up from sleep. First of all, I can hear it lights, then it turns off and a notice told me that the HARD drive has been removed.

  I tried all kinds of drivers (Lenovo, Microsoft, Intel RST 5-12, 12, 9) with no luck.

  It worked without any problems under Windows 7 (with drivers Intel RST 12.5).

  Is this a known issue?

  What can I do?

  Concerning

  Emmanuel

  All this has not helped on my machine.

  But the recent 10 year anniversary Update Windows seems to have fixed the problem somehow.
