• Replacing the fan ThinkPad E420s

  Hi all

  In my ThinkPad E420s, fan is not very effective, even after I cleaned it.

  I would like to replace it. However, I have a hard time to find.

  First of all, I don't know what FRU number.

  I found a possible next option here http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/pd010926

  04W2000
  04W2001
  04W1749
  04W1750

  However, how can I find what exact FRU number I need.

  Second, where to buy? These 4 numbers http://www.lenovospareparts.com/ http://lenovoquickpick.com/ quick search gave no results.

  I would be grateful for any guidance.

  Thank you!

  Hi Mihalych,

  Thanks for the reply!

  If the system is supplied with the graphics card, you can order 04W2000, 04W2001 if the system has only Intel graphics, then you can order 04W1749, 04W1750.

  I hope this helps!

  Best regards

• ThinkPad E420 - what is the type of this laptop SATA interface? Is this 2 SATA or SATA 3?

  Dear all,

  What is the type of interface SATA of ThinkPad E420? Is this 3 SATA or SATA 2?

  I noticed that this laptop hard drive transfer rate is 3 Gb/s, which means that it is a SATA 2 HARD drive, isn't it? It also means that the laptop SATA interface is SATA 2?

  I tried searching the support site and product from lenovo for this information, but I can't.

  Thanks in advance.

  Best regards

  Haris

  You're right, the E420 is SATA2.

  SATA3 is very rare in the laptops!

  Hi Syed,

  Thanks for the reply with the status of the issue.

  I suggest you try to install the drivers for Windows 7 in compatibility mode and check if it works for you. I saw this troubleshooting procedure described working for other members of the community.

  Step 1: Download the driver for the Webcam from this link of Lenovo.

  http://support.Lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?docid=DS015018

  Step 2: Installing the driver in compatibility mode.

  Make the programs more compatible with this version of Windows:

  Please reply with the status of the issue, so that we can confirm that the issue is resolved.

• Upgrading RAM on ThinkPad E420 (1141CTO)

  Hello

  I plan to upgrade my RAM on my E420 (1141CTO). He already has a 4 GB on one slot. Couple of questions here.

  1. What is the max RAM I can continue until this laptop computer (Intel i3 2nd Gen) E420.

  2. as I have 4 GB on a slot can I put a 8 GB of RAM (single module) on the other location.

  3. what brand of RAM I can use.

  4. on this model can I have another RAM easily stare at me or him asking on the other side are the slots positioned such that I can do this easily by simply opening a couple of screws or do I have to tear it up.

  5. any other special consideration as on clock speed?

  Thank you.

  1. 16 gigs is the maximum.
  2. Yes, you can
  3. any State (just avoid the values of Kingston and Corsair).
  4. the ram slots is accessible by removing the quick access plate. http://support.Lenovo.com/en_US/guides-and-manuals/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-77263
  5. anything with 1333 mhz speed should be fine.

• Problem Bluetooth ThinkPad E420 (1141-DDD)

  I'm having a problem installing bluetooth driver for this model... in the middle of the installation, I get the error msg "no Bluetooth device detected. I installed this driver I found in the Lenovo Web site: 'Bluetooth with enhance Data Rate software II' worm 6.4.0.2900 from this link:
  http://support.Lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-77467 I use Windows 7 64-bit.
  Please advise on this.

  HI Jaymaharaj

  I faced the same problem. After struggling for almost a day or two, I found the following solution.

  He is also right to what Dave says. But your question, it seems that you experience the problem when you install the bluetooth driver software.

  Before installing the software driver bluetooth please download and install "ThinkVantage System Update" from the following link: (choose your operating system and click Download)

  http://support.Lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-73695

  Installation above will reboot your machine two or three times. After installing above update, press F9, which will list the wireless radios, click on the button of the individual controls you will find a switch logic to enable bluetooth, so put in market.

  After that start your bluetooth driver is 'Bluetooth with enhance Data Rate software II' installation. I'm sure it'll work. If you face any problem post a response to this topic.

  Thank you

  Have you tried to use system restore to restore your system configuration?

  Start menu > Accessories > system tools > system restore.

  I hope you have some system restore points before the problem started happening. Follow the wizard for your anti-roll system back to one of these restore points.

  System restore only modifies / restores the system configuration - this will not affect your personal files/data.

  So if the problem started to arrive 2-3 days ago, come back to a point of restoration 4 days ago.

• ThinkPad E420 - GPU switching

  Hello I have just updated my records for AMD Radeon HD6630M with new catalyst beta2 but now I can't change the graphics card. I tried to go to CCC - selected manually switchable graphic method switch GPU pressed apply and nothing happened. At least I tried to uninstall this old CCC isntal and tried again. Problem remains intact, and now I'm sad of this because my games is now unnecessary . I can just select which GPU I want for aplications but its bad cause my fps dropped. I realize before windows mark with random maps for switching applications is just 6.3 for games and 4.9 for other stuff. Before I 6.7 for both because I have chosen the AMD GPU forever.

  If someone help me to pass the cards he can be happy. Sorry for my English and thanks for the useful information.

  Fixed, downloaded new drivers from lenovo and now its works very well.

• E420 - SATA driver for Windows XP

  Hello

  I installed Windows XP x 64 on my Thinkpad E420 a few months ago.  Get the operating system to work with 64-bit drivers was a major pain, but I finally got it to work.

  Yesterday, as XP x 64 became slower and slower, I uninstalled and installed the 32 bit instead (being fully aware that I won't be able to use my 8 GB, only 2.8.  Will not not to do a lot of school work on XP anyway).

  I was hoping that I would have finally managed to install the SATA driver, but no.

  It's quite annoying to start the BIOS and change the drive mode from AHCI to compatibility every time I start Windows XP (and the reverse for Windows 7, too).

  First, I installed the chipset driver Intel here:

  http://support.Lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?docid=DS013906

  Then the video driver and tried to install the AHCI support problematic:

  I can't use a floppy drive, and the main problem is that I did not "Standard dual channel PCI IDE Controller" in my device manager.  Only this (sorry for the French):

  http://ImageShack.us/photo/my-images/13/devicebk.PNG/

  I tried selecting the first choice (primary IDE channel), but I get a BSOD.

  What should I choose, instead?  I'm doing something wrong?

  Thank you very much!

  I have it!

  It was actually very simple to install, in fact.

  I reinstalled the operating system, and what is important, it is necessary to install the SATA driver immediately after installing Windows XP.

  The problem is that I installed the Intel chipset driver first...  Of course, that has caused the problem.  The SATA driver must be the first driver to install.

  Simple as that!

• CTRL + left click is not always the same as the Middle-click

  CTRL-click is supposed to open a new tab, but this does not always happen. For example in a YouTube channel, a video in the sidebar (or right-clicking and selecting new tab) Middle-click opens the video in a new tab, but ctrl-click opens in the current tab. Y at - it a fix for this?

  These links are that JavaScript links (according to elegant), which do not respond the same as ordinary hyperlinks.

  I have a userstyle installed in Firefox that adds a 'J' cursor 'hand' on most of the JavaScript links, and tells me that I need to way - click on these links - cause {Ctrl + click} will not work.

• How can I turn off text to speech that I turned it on to listen to the voice and now there seems to be no way to turn it off

  Original title: speech synthesis

  How can I turn off text to speech that I turned it on to listen to the voice and now there seems to be no way to turn it off

  Hello

  Follow the steps below to disable text to speech in Windows Vista.

  (a) go to the section on your main screen where you see the time displayed.

  (b) it is called the "bar", all kinds of small icons are visible here, there's even a gadget of the small arrow that would normally point to the right if you have a lot of programmes to help you use windows.

  (c) "left click on"the small arrow in a circle - this will expand the list to display small icons, drip slowly mouse over the bar of 'system' in order to launch a pop - up of each icon, once you reach the icon that says something like "text to speech tool","make a clique right".

  (d) a pop-up list appears showing what options are available - option whatever go to "Properties" or "settings", "click on" this element gives.

  (e) a new Panel will appear - in select here the article that says something like "launch on startup", it should have a box next to it, that will be ticked or marked in some way - "click" this element so that it seems to be clear and followed by the button "apply" "click" the button "OK" - which should solve your problem.

• I'm so frustrated with products from lenovo (X 200 and E420s owner)

  I just got my thinkpad E420s, I can handle almost all weird about it, for example,.

  * Oddly placed keys pgup / pgdown buttons, keys F1 to F12, PrtSc between ctrl and alt? Ridiculous...

  * No LED indicator...

  BUT what I can't stand is that there is a bad pixel on the screen! AND after searching the Internet, I found it is imposible to replace or return because there is only a single bad pixel... one can tell me how to make more?

  I am currently still have a X 200 stucked at home that I bought from Singapore 18 months ago. He gave up work after normal 13 months of use. At this time I was in China, I can't totally repaired because the policy of IWS SPECIAL/UNIQUE in China.

  Really, I don't know what the problem with lenovo, it's time for me to say goodbye to the "red dot"?

  LENOVO, PLEASE DO NOT FRUSTRATE YOUR CUSTOMERS!

  HOW CAN I BUY ANOTHER LENOVO PRODUCT MORE?

  Hi bryan_sign and welcome to the Lenovo user community!

  Have you really tried to get the screen replaced by calling Lenovo support, or did you just searched the Internet? If you do not call, do and tell us how it goes.
