• ThinkPad E530: Windows 8 COA sticker missing

  Recently, I bought Thinkpad E530 mobile computer with Windows 8 Pro installed. However, I did not receive installation disc and there was no COA sticker anywhere. I also checked under the battery. The seller says something like "it's something new with Windows 8 and sticker is no longer necessary.

  I tried first to get assistance on Microsoft website, but after entering Windows 8 PID I learned that I would have to pay for it, because my copy is supported by Lenovo.

  Contacting Lenovo has proved to be a challenge. I was just unable to find a way to do online. Only way seems to be by phone and:

  1. I'm not willing to pay for international calls

  2. I want, a written confirmation, so I put pressure on my seller

  So, I really need to know, how to communicate with Lenovo and ask two things:

  1. How can I install media?

  2. How can I get the key of Windows 8 (for example to install the new copy) and the COST is really more provided.

  Thank you in advance.

  Correct COST is over supplied.

  If you want to learn more about the PID, see http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows-8/a/windows-8-product-key.htm

  I have a TechNet subscription, so I have no problems with getting ISOs for Windows 8 Pro (which I'm available for). Once you get the correct version, you should be able to install the operating system without even having to enter the product key.

• a way to control the speed of the fan of thinkpad E530?

  Did anyone here know how to control the speed of the fan of the Thinkpad E530.

  ATM I'm not sure if my laptop fan is noisy or not sideways, but I prefer if it was a little more quiet/silent.

  All possible ways? SpeedFan CUS does not work for me

  -Hardy

  Hey Hardy.

  Yes, because when you set your PM to make your all the lowest settings help you can. For example, if you look under your CPU system settings is set to low, with the other settings to reduce the amount of heat that would reduce the need of fan work as well or at a higher rate.

  Also, with some versions of the power under Advanced Settings Manager, you will find political cooling system.

• ThinkPad R60e HDD size

  I have Thinkpad R60e, 0657-KCG with 60 GB HARD drive. It is too small, and I want to buy more disk. What is the maximum size of HARD drive for this model?

  You can install any HDD notebook SATA 9.5 mm, your budget and your needs are the only limits. I think 500 GB is the largest on the market.

  I hope this helps.

• Problem Lenovo Thinkpad T430 HDD/SSD

  Hi all

  I recently added an SSD for my thinkpad only to windows hosting on. I have a 300 GB HARD drive installed so I installed a 120 GB SSD into the slot of the wireless card. Everything went well, I installed windows 7 on the SSD and the laptop starts perfectly but I can no longer see the HARD drive in my computer, it only displays the SSD here now.

  Can someone advise what I need to do to get both drives visible?

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  Your computer is to see your drive, it must just be initialized.

  You can find instructions here:

• ThinkPad E530 Max RAM upgrade

  Hi all

  My laptop is E530 and Corei5 3210 TM processor @ 2.5 GHz.

  The tech specs here says:

  Ivy Bridge compatible DDR3 and DDR3L. But you can buy DDR3L (1.35v support) for the extra battery life, it gives you.

  Also note that when you buy a module of memory for your laptop, you buy a SODIMM and not a bar of MEMORY. Modules DIMM is longer and does not fit into a laptop. SODIMM is made for laptops.

  Note that if you have doubts, you can call technical support and they can understand all of this for you. Or you can buy the memory from the link I posted above.

  If you have a DDR3 module installed and you insert a DDR3L module, both will run to DDR3 specifications. The module DDR3L simply starts to operate at a higher voltage.

• HP HDX - X 16 HDD noise

  Hi guys,.

  I bought this new HDX - X 16 about 5 days ago. The first day, when turning on the new laptop to set up my user information. I noticed some grainy noise from the hand left palmrest.

  It makes the noise when the 3rd LED is flashing which is the HARD disk activity. I have no idea where to find these pieces of hardware because I refuse to open and to avoid the question nowhere guaranteed.

  Reason why I ask here to see if anyone here has series HDX 16 or 18 inches we got the same noise. My HARD drive is a FUJITSU MHZ2320BH G2.

  It is this normal? I defragmented my HARD drive already the second day and it always makes noise. Should I return it to the store for refund or replacement? I don't want a HARD drive failure or a detective HARD drive.

  I did scan disk HARD Smart and everything is 'OK' and also disk for error scanning. I don't see any problem.

  Thank you!

  I have a HDX18, mine does the samething not much.   go to msconfig and disable the startup programs u is not necessary, this will help some, here are all the web sites for HDX owners. http://Forum.NotebookReview.com/showthread.php?s=c87dab5d2f0ccfd730b77580231dfcca&t=300221&page=565

• Is it possible to use the F5 key without pressing Fn on Thinkpad E530

  Hello

  I need to use the F5 button a lot, but every time I have to press the aswell key Fn. would it possible to modify the key F5 parameters and how?

  There are 2 ways to do this:

  1. in Start menu, type "Keyboard" and choose the keyboard option that appears under 'Control Panel'.  There is a "ThinkPad F1 - F12 keys" tab, and you can change the choice of "Legacy" to use the F1 - F12 keys as standard function keys you want.

  2. restart the system and press ENTER to the ThinkPad logo screen.  Then press F1 to access the BIOS Setup.  In the "Config" menu, choose "keyboard and mouse".  Change the option "Change to the F1 - F12 keys" to "Legacy".  Press F10 to save and exit.

• ThinkPad E530: Need help using the Windows 7 recovery partition

  
  

  Nice day.

  Everything I've read, so far, is that it is not possible to do something with the remnants of the recovery partition now that Windows 10 'touched' the system.

  A way to return to your original OEM image would be to contact the applicant recovery DVD and Support (info below). There may be a cost of handling.

  Kind regards.

• Fingerprint reader does not react anymore while the software seems to work (Thinkpad E530 Windows 10)

  I used logg in via the reader of fingerprints (windows 10) with no problems, now the fingerprint reader does not react anymore when I pull the finger. I managed to remove all the passwords in the password manager (still not sure about it as I don't really understand how all the components work together) hoping that would solve the problem. Not the fingerprint reader software keeps asking me to register a new finger. Everything seems to work fine (I can pick a finger to be registered, type my password windowns) until I asked me to draw the finger on the fingerprint reader: nothing happens! The indicator that shows how the finger was scanned shows nothing at all. Looks like the software works, but the fingerprint reader itself is dead. However, looking into the information system the "TouchStrip Fingerprint Sensor' (WBF mode advanced) seems to work fine.

  Help, please. I don't have any idea how to find out what's not here.

  Thank you very much for the tip! He works in fact :-). Even if it does not seem logical to me, as I never put it in place a front pin - and fingerprint reader work very well even without PIN code. But who cares - the main thing is it works now! So thanks a lot again :-)!

  Hello

  Can you please check and clarify if the hard drive is a CRU or not? I would only consider buying a device that covers records Exchange under warranty.

• ThinkPad E530 (3259) - no Hibernate after clean install

  Hello

  I have problem with my laptop. After a clean instalation of win7 64 bit, instalation of all drivers with lenovo update and windows update is the Hibernate option behaves in a strange way.

  The screen goes black, but the computer still works and when I start moving with the mouse, it shows me the login screen. So basically it just disconnects me: /.

  I tried to install the latest drivers for Chipset, graphics card, Bios... the cmd option: powercfg-h is turned on... nothing is and I'm getting desperate :/ I've also updated driver and soft powr Manager.

  Someone knows what to do?

  If anybidy will have the same problem, this is what helped me at the end (after the long struggle )

  When I used shutdown-h command system just connect me off and grey screen. Then cmd has been:

  system cannot find the specified file (2)

  solution is very simple:

  set the active boot partition

  Go to control panel-> administration-> computer management tools-> Storage-> disk management
  And make sure the system reserved partition is an asset.

• ThinkPad E530 press

  When I use the touch pad and do my finger from right to left right next to the button on the right side, I get a pop-up taskbar with shows of things like: search, share, start, devices and settings as well as the date and time.

  How can I disable this feature?  When you use the touch pad, I often accidentally cause this pop up and it's really annoying.

  Thank you.

  Ok then. No idea why you do not have the item to change.

  The research of the community, I came across this thread: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-8/How-to-get-rid-of-Charm-bar/m-p/1024885, but it involves some registry changes, so reason for caution if you decide to try.

  If all goes well, someone else will see this thread and be able to offer further advice. Sorry I can't offer more.

  Kind regards.

• ThinkPad Edge E530 BIOS

  I've updated my (initially Windows 7 equipped) Thinkpad E530 to the latest version of the BIOS version 2.55.

  I also installed Windows 8.1 x 64 on it.

  My question is: can I use the "OS Optimized Defaults" in BIOS or not?

  In the BIOS install descriptions, it is said to use the optimized default OS on a pre-installed Windows 8 (x 64) machine, and to use the ordinary default values on a Windows 7 preinstalled machine.
  But my computer was a machine 7 pre-installed, but is now running Windows 8 x 64. If the default values should I charge?

  Kind regards
  Psycho

  Hello

  Thank you for your reply,

  To use the system with "Default values of the optimized operating system", you have reinstall the Windows 8 operating system after allowing optimized OS default "values. If you change the format of disk partition HARD operating system will not work.

  I hope this helps. Post back if the problem persists!

  Best regards
