• T410 matter of detail Thinklight

  Hello

  I have a 2537AF8 T410 that should have a Thinklight. When you press Fn + PgUp screen overlay icon appears, but the led does not illuminate.

  Anyoine may indicate that the cable from the motherboard to the LCD holds the ThinkLight signal? I don't find it in the HMM.

  Thanks in advance

  Umberto

  Thanks for the quick response.

  After taking a more detailed look, it's a separate cable on the right side of the screen. p 147 in the HMM.

• Try the thinklight T43 difficulty

  Got this T43 last summer and the thinklight does not work with the key Fn + Pg so assumed it died.

  What can I do to solve this problem, did anyone here who has a solution?

  Note: the lcd display must have changed and should be a news - it's too bright for a 6.5-year laptop, and missing a screw -

  are there opportunities that they screwed the thinklight when changing the LCD?

  An excellent chance indeed - ThinkLight being a part of the LCD cable.

  I would just swap the entire cable.

  Good luck.

• ThinkPad T450s Review

  Introduction
  

  The ThinkPad T450s is one of the best new ultrabooks. If it is not as slim as some, it is still quite compact and easier to service than the thinner machines and screen Full HD IPS is a standout feature.

  This review is based on a ThinkPad T450s, 20BX Type of Machine production, product ID 20BXCTO1WW.

  • Intel Core i7-5600U processor
  • 8.1 Windows Pro 64
  • 14.0 "FHD (1920 x 1080)
  • Camera HD 720 p
  • Intel HD 5500 graphics card
  • 4 GB DDR3L - Base of 1600 MHz SDRAM
  • Fingerprint reader
  • Hard drive 500 GB, 7200 RPM, 2.5 "
  • ThinkPad battery 3 cells Li-Polymer (23.2Whr) before
  • ThinkPad battery 3 cells Li-Polymer (23.2Whr) rear
  • Country Pack 45W in the United States (2-pin) adapter
  • Intel 7265 AC/B/G/N Dual Band Wireless + Bluetooth Version 4.0

  From the receipt:

  • 4 GB Samsung SO - DIMM has been installed
  • Hard drive has been replaced with 1 TB Samsung 850 EVO SSD.

  Construction
  
  T450s build quality isn't old ThinkPad level, with a clear devaluation, but is still very good. Problems include the difficulty of dislodging the lower lid (after removing the 8 screws) for joining plastic textured inside and fingerprinting, revealing instead of the old finish rubber. But it is quite solid, no bending and quite compact.

  Connectivity
  
  Port is good enough on both sides with nothing on the back. All USB ports are 3.0 with excellent performance. But Mini DisplayPort means you need to maybe buy and carry a dongle of easy-to-lose. Performance of the Wi - Fi connection (802.11ac Intel 2 x 2) seems better than previous cards Intel generation 802.11n, even those with 3 x 3. Bluetooth connections are fast. The speakers are decent, but nothing to write home about. Quality of the webcam is improved over previous generations, but still struggles in low light. Fingerprint reader is a great improvement. (Thanks, Apple.)

  Performance
  
  The good news is that the i7 T450s finally turns out to be a bit faster than the i7 Sandy Bridge (T420s) on the tasks of processor such as video encoding, despite a processor intensive ultra low voltage a bit more slowly. The machine is cold and silent most of the time, with only a gentle breath of air under high load.

  Memory

  4 GB of memory is soldered to the main Board and there is only a single SO-DIMM location. While you can add a 8 GB SO - DIMM for 12 GB total, that would mean that half of the memory could run in single channel mode, which can have a very important impact on the performance (as much as 20-30%), especially since the graphics adapter integrated uses part of the main memory (memory available). So if you care about performance, you need to stick with 8 GB, which can be marginal for things like video editing HD Ultra. (The impact on the performance, of course, also applies to machines with only the Basic 4 GB of memory. The promised NVIDIA 940 M graphics option is not yet available.)

  Screen
  
  The IPS 1920 x 1080 screen can take some getting used to, but is really much better than TN screens and is close enough to a calibration right out of the box. (Remember to burn on the screen for at least 24 hours before making any justice.)

  Keyboard
  
  The keyboard of the island is pretty good for what it is, but the provision still suffers compared to the classic ThinkPad keyboard. Homepage layout end delete and PrtSc are poor and other keys like Pause/break are missing entirely, now only available as Fn combinations (such as Fn + B for Break) that are not marked on the keys. Also annoying is the lack of status lights of the hardware (your hard drive, Wi - Fi, Bluetooth, load connection). You can count on the Windows taskbar for wireless and in charge, but you will need to install something like DiskLED (which works well) to the disk activity. Keyboard backlight is usable (despite some annoying light crosstalk between the top row), but not as good as the classic ThinkLight.

  Power

  With just the standard 2nd battery, not long battery life with big bulge on the bottom, the T450s still usable on and off by a day without running out of battery power. The power adapter provided is quite small, but only 45W, cannot quickly fresh when the system is under load. If you care about fast charging, you should get the Slim 65W adapter.

  Summary

  A return for most welcome to your ThinkPad, with a very good IPS screen and finally enough power processor ultra low voltage measure to the Sandy Bridge.

  Belkin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter is available at low cost from B & H.

  

• Keyboard backlit W540 always lit

  Is it possible to adjust the backlight on the keypad to always on when the screen is opened?

  I don't think it's as simple as changing a value. The scale of the retro-lighting/thinklight seems to be in very low-level keyboard routines, which are almost certainly in the BIOS code itself. This would mean that the current state is not recorded anywhere, or stored in the CMOS memory. Because it is longer between boots, I guess that's registered anywhere.

• T410 doesn't start, white screen and the keyboard does not power on.

  Hi, my laptop Lenovo T410 does not start. I hit the power button and looks like it is about to start. The thinklight flashes on as normal, the cd drive is checked, the caps lock on, then nothing/button blinks. No display and the keyboard does not respond. Power led lights up; If I leave it awhile the fan turns on. Can I stop the machine using the power button, but the problem remains the next time I turn it on.

  I tried to remove power and battery, power 10 button time then with the power to 30 seconds, before replacing the power supply and the battery but nothing happens. I tried to use a different keyboard. I tried to plug in an external monitor. No change.

  This problem appeared after I left it on overnight. I have the feeling that it entered into hybernation mode, perhaps, and that it disturbed some important functions which he could not complete. Not sure if. Any help gratefully received.

  Thank you very much

  Pete

  It's the original configuration of your laptop:

  ThinkPad T410 2522BF1
  
  i5 - 520 M (2.4 GHz), 4 GB RAM, 160 GB 7200 RPM HD, 14.1 in. LCD 1280 x 800, Intel 5700MHD, DVD, Intel 802.11agn Wireless Modem, 1 Gb Ethernet, UltraNav smart, secure, camera, 6 c Li-ion, Win7 Pro 32

  I firstly the LCD cable or secondary LED could be damaged, but if you don't see anything on an external monitor I tend to think it's a motherboard problem.

  Last thing you could try putting running a Live Distro Linux from a CD/DVD or USB drive, using Ubuntu or Linux Mint, for example.

• disabled shortcut keyboard keys

  I have a W520 and today when I updated my system, the keyboard shortcut system has been completely disabled * the fn + keys) and the on screen display for when you change the volume, mute, turn off mic, thinklight, etc. is not running. What can I do to fix this problem?

  Thank you.

  I managed to solve the problem. I uninstalled the power manager, power manager driver and shortcut files then reinstalled it. now everything works again.

• T60p on-screen display does not

  Hey, just reinstalled Win XP Pro fresh on my T60p. everything works except display it on the screen for firmware operations (volume display and icons when enabling/disabling of the ThinkLight, etc..) FN + F5 and Fn + F7 still displays work. Already tried to reinstall the expansion card driver and graphics OSD.

  Here's the weird part. When I installed first, it worked fine. I was looking for a different and found adjustment control panel > display > settings > advanced > OSD Panel. OSD has been disabled. I turned it on, hit apply, and it didn't work anymore. I turned off it again, hit apply and it still does not work. What the...? I haven't the time to reinstall Win XP from scratch, can anyone find a fix?

  Thank you!!!

  Hi, I have just re installed the powermanager and power meter is back! Thank you for a ton

• W530 nonbacklit backlit keyboard upgrade

  Hey people,

  I bought a little used W530 back this summer. I love this thing, it has all the power I need for one SSD + extension of 1 TB HDD, 1080 p screen, etc.. Check all the boxes in what I want in a laptop. The only thing that I forgot to check on was backlit keyboard... and of course, he does have one. It was fine without it, but at Christmas to come, I can going to enjoy the upgrade. I saw the backlit keyboard for sale on ebay on other sites and confirmed the swap is physically possible, but I have not heard if there is nothing you need to do to physically install. For example, right now FN + space the lights to think; with the backlit keyboard, I think this activates the backlight. The thinkpad will automatically perform this when the keyboard is installed or I have to update the BIOS or something?

  Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!!!

  My w530 came with a keyboard not backlit. I bought one on ebay, swap took three minutes, and no updates or other actions are required. FN + space works as before, it passes between the backlight (two levels), thinklight and turned off.

• LED backlight display off when the power supply is connected

  Basically, what happens is every time others or so when I plug my T420 in power, the backlight of the screen turns off completely. The screen is always on because if I look close enough I can still see whats on the screen. All the other power lights, Thinklight and other indicators remain on. I can't tell if this is a problem of motherboard, power supply problem or something different, but the problem is very frustrating because I put the computer to sleep and then wake it up back up to continue to use the machine. Any help is appreciated.

  Using the search I found this:

  Link to the Knowledge Base

  This problem is well known and seems to be a hardware error. Then try to contact the after-sales service and send in your thinkpad. Or you can use the workaround described in the link above.

  Moderator edit: link fixed.

• ThinkPad improvement / keyboard light

  Recently, I had the chance to work on the T410s and I fell in love with her,
  and I had an idea of the slight improvement of the lighting of the keypad,
  would it not possible to implement the letters on the keyboard of engraving
  in a black light ink and change the thinklight LED for UV light
  component "".
  the results, I think, will be obvious.

  a concentrated Ultraviolet light source isn't a good idea. Company more would not use same Thinkpad if there is a targeted UV source. I could not imagine the kind of legal culpriability that Lenovo would be exposed if she put a UV light in the Thinklight.

• Try to find the system specifications

  Hi - I just brought a second hand X 220, which still has a valid warranty. I have a few worries about that - the thinklight sensor, camera and the cover does not seem to work - but before I call assistance and making a fool of myself I wanted to check if this particular model even came with a camera.

  The model is a CV3 4291.

  I looked in all the psref documents that I can find on the Lenovo Web site, but I can't find - any reference to this particular model: can someone counsel how I can obtain detailed information on this particular model?

  Thank you

  Hello

  The fingerprinter reader is located in the Palm to the right of the TrackPad.  You can see the patterns had a blast showing all the parts (and numbers) in Chapter 10 of the Manual of Maintenance of hardware ThinkPad X 220.

  You can check the specifications on the system by running the Information System (file name: MSINFO32.) (EXE) to check which model of processor and the amount of RAM installed in the system.  You can issue a command "wmic csprodcut get identifyingnumber, name ' from an command prompt high (file name: cmd.) (EXE) to view the serial number and model number integrated into the motherboard of the system.  Please do not share the serial number to the public, however, that this information is considered private and should be shared in publc messages in the forum.

  You will need to contact the technical support of Lenovo directly on the phone and ask them what they can and cannot do to support a system that is still under warranty then, because I imagine that the details vary depending on a base country.

  Kind regards

  Hi syrahnose,

  Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.

  To activate the ThinkLight, hold Fn and press the page DOWN key. Prev. It applies to turn it off.

  We wrote an article about the features available on the ThinkPad as well. You can read it here.

• Without backlight the keyboard on X 230 sold to Singapore?

  I bought a Thinkpad X 230 a couple of days ago and realized that there is no backlight on the keyboard. A call to customer service and sales team confirmed that all the 230 X sold to Singapore has only the Thinklight but without the keyboard backlight.

  How can this be since all sites and comments the 230 X as having a keyboard backlight?

  bought a backlit keyboard on ebay, the keyboard changed and now I have a backlit keyboard... NIQ...
