Hi husseintt,

If you just got your system, you must change the power settings to maximize the efficiency and life of your battery.

The User Guide sets out how to get the most out of your battery, beginning on page 30.

I hope this helps.

    Greetings. Considering buying a refurb T430. It comes with a DVD-ROM. It seems to me, from what little I can do without the model number of machine or DVD part (s), that the device is a standard slimline SATA drive. I had the chance before with swapping the Panel/Panel before these readers when I had to make a replacement.

    (1) can I use a generic DVD - RW drive?

    (2) someone can me the Lenovo replacement PN so that I have one can hunt down on ePay?

    Received a DVD burner yesterday, bought from Epay. Perfect shape, size and function. Aesthetically perfect. Only $15 USD. There are many many numbers of parts that are compatible and the permutation of the bezel is easy peasy.

  • T430s will not restart, can someone please explain how to use the 4 recovery discs?

    So I bought a Lenovo T430s, with Windows 8.1 almost 2 years (off warranty now). It comes frozen, has started to beep, then turns off, and now it won't restart. When I turn it on, it always goes to the black and blue screen that offers a Boot Menu and a Menu of Application. The Start Menu has 2 options: ATAPI CDO: MAST * beep * ADVD - RAM UJ8C2 and PCI LAN: IBA GE Slot 00C v1536 8.

    When I bought the laptop, it came with 4 disks. Two of them say "Windows 8 Recovery for Windows 8 Media products", and the other two say "operating system recovery disc, Windows 8 Pro (OEM Activation required 3.0)". "

    I don't know what that most of this way. Can someone explain how I can fix or restart my laptop? I wonder if I am supposed to use a bootdisk of some, although it is at a certain menu option... I really appreciate any help

    The first item in the Startup tab is 'Boot', Yes?

    Press enter and start > splash screen should display with something like a list of the Boot priority order .

    What do you see that listed there?

    Kind regards.

  • Lenovo T430s Bluetooth

    Hi Lenovo community,

    I urgently need help from someone to confirm a few suspicions of my laptop.

    I'm a t430s owner, bought about a year and a half, it's a custom template.

    Recently, I bought a new helmet that was wireless which is supposed to be used via bluetooth.

    For some reason, I thought that my laptop has bluetooth technology, but now I'm not sure what I can do, I can't return my helmet and I've been Googling things upwards but no answers.

    First of all, I want to ask... should I have bluetooth on my laptop? I went to Device Manager, and that's what I got:

    And in Start menu, I typed in bluetooth, these are the results:

    Is someone can you please tell me how I can get bluetooth applied on my T430s so I can use my wireless headset?

    Thank you.

    Hi Poykl,

    Welcome to Lenovo Community!

    According to the request, we understand that you have a problem with the Bluetooth adapter on your ThinkPad T430s.

    This could be the problem with verification of function with Fn + F5 keys and you will get an option to activate the Bluetooth and Wifi adapter check this option.

    If you have not found the option then I think that your system is not delivered with the Bluetooth adapter, please provide the number MTM (model Type of Machine) who will be at the back of the system written on the white sticker so that we will confirm if the Bluetooth comes with the system.

    I hope this helps.

    Best regards

    Here is this that Crucial has to say on this issue: 1.35v - 1.5V DDR3 memory dual voltage.
