ThinkPad Edge 11 screen bezel

Hey guys,.

I recently bought a Thinkpad Edge 11 and I noticed that the upper part of the screen bezel is sitting a little fragile. If you tap on the left and right side of the bezel (just the left and right where the webcam is installed) it makes a rattling noise and whenever I open the laptop until you can hear the bezel, making a noise as the pressure of the lid closed is taken out of it.

It doesn't look like it is falling apart, but I wondered right on the 'flimsyness.

Is it something in the normal quality of the Thinkpad Edge or have I received a defective unit? I really don't want to exchange this thing once again, as it is already a replacement machine, I had because of an inadmissible SPACEBAR-. -.

Best regards

Oh boy, it really seems to be common on some models of the edge. As I mentioned 2 units in a store more or less has also shown this problem. I get my Edge 11 now and that you will probably look elsewhere.

Actually, I bought the edge to get a better build quality than similar machines of other brands. And while the base of the unit is made of good quality, the frame of the screen seemed to 'offset' and be rather fragile :/

And not to mention the space bar does not work on my first 11 Edge. On my replacement system the space bar has also been insensitive on the side far left incidentally, but it was much less than on the first. So I guess it was ^^

I really hope that Lenovo increases build on the edge quality control! BTW, for a portable small business (like it is advertised) the edge is affordable but any low price compared to the competition (at least in Germany). So I'm expecting a little more quality for my money.

Best regards

  • Blue screen when you try to install Windows XP on Intel ThinkPad Edge 520

    Hello

    I have a ThinkPad Edge 520 type 1143-B5G with a clean disk and I need to install Windows XP on it, for reasons of inheritance. I read on the pilot of the technology Intel Rapid store being necessary, but this seems not to apply to the 520, only to 220 and 420. The recommended settings are not available on the 520 (nor is the driver itself), and the driver is listed by n/a for the 520 in the list of drivers of Lenovo. But, I always get a BSOD error just as Windows is starting from the installation DVD, after the DVD instructed all pilots, he can think about.

    Anyone know how to fix this?

    Would BTW - be possible to install XP in a separate partition, main alongside Windows 7, on a drive that already has Windows 7 on it? Or a clean disk is needed for this?

    Kind regards

    Hello and welcome,

    What settings are you looking for?  It seems that there is a problem with the mode of operation of HD.  The E520 BIOS has an option to change the SATA compatibility instead of AHCI mode?  You will not be able to install a version of "Vanilla" of XP without adding the correct AHCI driver or compatibility mode.

    What version of BIOS do you have?  I see this rather cryptic reference in the BIOS 1.20:

    "[Fixes problem] problem reading/writing data to the SATA compatibility mode."

    It is possible to dual-boot XP and 7, but the best way to do is to install XP first and then let the 7 Installer put in place the configuration dual-boot.  You would still have the problem of compatibility (IDE) vs AHCI mode.

    Ah, lookinng a little further, there is a driver AHCI for XP in Lenovo driver matrix.  The readme file includes instructions on installation.

  • Keyboard comes out on my new Thinkpad Edge

    My wife has just received its new Thinkpad Edge (0196-26U 13 "screen, Intel processor, matte black). While not as energetic as our boosted T61 or T400, it is much lighter and adapts to its needs.

    Most of the keys on the keyboard feels good, but our model seems to have a flaw. The upper right corner of the keyboard tray pops out regularly. I can click it back in but there is a visible bulge and with a slight flex of the body it comes out back. In addition, the right side of the END key is depressed compared to the rest of the keys.

    I provide Lenovo today to inquire about a replacement part.

    Anyone else having this problem?

    Received the replacement keyboard today (the day after). It was a simple swap out. The original was clearly misrepresented in the upper right. The replacement unit has a millimeter to give in the same corner, but the framework comes out with an audible 'click'. Not perfect but does not interfere with my typing.

    The keyboard is attached to the frame by tabs at the front and two screw centered on a third of the way left and right. This keeps most of the keyboard firmly in place, especially in the middle where you press the small head of gum. The corners are only kept pressed by the rigidity of the frame of the keyboard. Thus, given any incompatibility with the chassis, there got to be some give.

    That's life I guess.

  • ThinkPad Edge E531 cannot boot from CD

    Hello

    just got my new Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E531.

    At the moment I'm not able to boot from the CD, it will always start the preinstalled Windows 8.

    I tried the F12 method to select a boot device different at startup where I can see the DVD RAM drive installed and select it, but no effect that he immediately returned to the selection screen.

    I played with the various BIOS affecting disabling secure boot option and change the boot order so that the DVD drive is the first. Then the system will look for the CD (you can hear it when you start spinning upwards), but will start in Windows 8 right afterwards.

    I checked with different bootable CD as well as DVD but still the same effects.

    What Miss me? All other BIOS or Windows 8 settings I need to change for it.

    I have other laptops Lenovo run like the X 230, the T520 or an old T61 where boot from CD never seems to be a problem.

    As the DVD drive works properly in Windows 8, I guess it works in general and should not be destroyed.

    Any help is very appreciated!

    Thanks in advance.

    See you soon...

  • ThinkPad Edge E330 WiFi turn off

    Hello everyone

    I have Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E330. I run on Ubuntu. Laptop was connected to the Wifi thw and was on the sector without battery. When I put the battery unplugged AC and portable opend my wifi stoped working. It is said: Wifi is disabled by the hardware switch. The problem is that this model does not have any material pass over her body. I tried a lot of things:

    -Load default in BIOS

    -Reinstall Ubuntu completely

    -Search in ubuntu forums

    Thank you for the help

    Hello elFilipko,

    exactly the same thing happened to me today and it's how I managed to fix it:

    1. I downloaded four Windows drivers as described here (tthere first of all one of the links is not active more so I downloaded this driver in its current version of support.lenovo.com - Lenovo Power Management Driver for Windows 8).

    2. I installed all the drivers on my Windows 8 (I have dual boot - Win 8 and Ubuntu).

    3. after restarting the computer and reboot back to Windows, I pressed F9 to enter parameters related to a Wi - Fi (you may have to press Fn + F9, depending on your settings). After pressing this button, a small window with the parameters related to a Wi - Fi should appear in the middle of the screen (as far as I know, this special window appears only with the version of Windows 7 these drivers, so it is necessary to uninstall and reinstall versions of Windows 8 drivers in my case). In this little window, I disabled the plane and WiFi mode on.

    4. after step 3, it seems that nothing has changed, but just after the restart of Ubuntu, the Wi - Fi was on and working.

    I think a similar solution might work in your case also, just install Win 7 or 8 Win and try it.

    Best regards.

  • Driver needed XP for Ati Radeon HD 4250 (Thinkpad Edge 14 - model 019923u)

    Hello, I have downgraded from Windows 7 to Xp and I have trouble finding the driver for the video card.

    The laptop is a Thinkpad Edge 14 - model 019923u.

    Does anyone know the correct driver for this model?

    Thank you

    Try DRIVERMAX. I had a PC that had no XP drivers. This program found and installed the drivers in XP and had it work. What it does is find a driver for this type of Board/CPU/GPU/webcam/USB card or sound.

    Here are the directions out of my head that I remember best:

    • 1 when you load first it (after it index and askes register you), place the mouse on driver downloads and information, click on start the drivermax agent.
    • 2 loading the agent to ensure that its on the 2nd tab updated. If the (part your will install) shows here then select it and then click Download. Click on the 2nd show updates for only selected updates option.
    • 3 now it will go to the site and show you the pilot/s available. I always choose the driver top list. Click the link to download next to her. Click on continue free user. Make sure that you opened with drivermax and not save on the pc.
    • 4 it will then download and let you know when it is ready to be installed. Another thing if the driver (for what your need) does not appear here, then click on the identity of unknown material below start the agent on-screen main drivermax. Then do the same to download and install it.

    There are also clips Youtube how to use DRIVERMAX. See you soon! Hope this works for you.

  • Glimmer of hope ThinkPad Edge 13 LCD

    Hello world

    I just got my ThinkPad Edge 13 Friday and am really pleased with the look, the feel and performance. However, it is a small (maybe 5 x 5 pixels) light spot on the LCD screen, on the left side in the middle. Just to be clear: it is not a dead or stuck pixel, but a brighter patch.

    This type of damage is caused by applying pressure on the back or the front of the screen, or it may be a manufacturing defect (which is probably the case here since this is a brand new laptop). I checked if it's maybe caused by a raised keyboard, but this probably isn't the case because it seems that everything is installed perfectly.

    I was wondering if I can get the laptop / screen LCD replaced and if I need to contact the reseller or Lenovo (I'm located in the Netherlands)?

    I want office dealers today and replaced the laptop. No problem at all.

  • ThinkPad Edge 14 Bluescreen - cannot find the cause

    Hello

    I have my new Thinkpad Edge 14 about 2 weeks ago! It worked very well for a few days and then all of a sudden blue screen appeared and he did it again! I'm not sure that it is connected or not, but the day before I upgraded to Windows 7 with the latest patches and updates!

    After the first blue screen, it began to restart or show the blue screen every few minutes. I also got bluescreen in safe mode.

    I tried to restore to before the update of the points but it did not help at all. Then I tried to use the restore to factory setting by pressing F11 and he tried to reinstall windows, but windows didn't even for the first time and it freezes! No I can not even access windows or use restore factory. I called the customer service and the guy told me to run software from Lenovo's diagnosis I did but he could not find any error with disk hard Ram ro!

    I really don't know what to do next...

    Awesome!

    Try to stay away from the unit updated driver provided by Windows, install only the updates of security. Looks like it was a MS update device driver that caused it.

  • ThinkPad Edge 15 wireless problems

    I have 3 thinkpads that after a reload of fees cannot connect to wireless networks. I went through and installed different drivers wireless on lenovo Web site.

    I went through several stages, others have had similar problems, but he has not made a difference.

    I have installed:

    Shortcut keys & patch

    Power Manager & pilot

    Chipset

    The realtek - ethernet networking and communications LAN adapter driver

    I installed and removed each available wireless adapter

    ThinkPad Edge 15

    Type: 0319-46U

    On a side note in the Device Manager screen there is an alert of "Network controller" saying no driver installed for this device. I conclude that it is a Realtek device, but beyond that, I'm lost.

  • Ghost of a Thinkpad Edge 520

    We recently purchased some of thinkpad edge laptops. We had planned on a configuration of the laptop and confgiured and taking a ghost of the disc to clone the rest of the machines. However, the laptop hangs at the thinkpad bios screen. I saw some thinkpads more that a special option while the image could solve the problem. Also, we noticed that the notebook had a score of 1.5 GB weird in front of the windows one. If someone got it work before? Or does anyone have a tool that they have used successfully.

    Note: We had a picture of a permeable lot of thinkpad edge that would be ghost very well. (Although the picture does work on this most recent batch.)

    The problem has been that the ghost should be started or properly defined in a - mode IB for the ghost to copy the MBR.

  • ThinkPad Edge 320 locks

    Hi I just got my new thinkpad edge 320, and from time to time he hangs, go to the login screen, apparently without reason. This isn't when it is inactive, that it seems to happen more if I close my browser. I searched all the lock settings and put them on lock No. Can anyone help?

    I discovered that it's Chrome - when I left Chrome it locked. So I started to use firefox instead, and it's fine now.

  • SimpleTap for thinkpad edge e530

    I just got my Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E530 and downloaded single tap. It does not work when I touch the screen with my fingers. I did some research online and realized that some computers do not have a touch screen. does anyone know if my computer has a touch screen and if so how to solve the simpletap so I was touch my screen with my fingers and make work? Thank you!

    Welcome to the community!

    I believe that the portable only in several Lenovo product lines that have multi touch (pen + finger) screens are Tablet PCs, like the X230T and some of the IdeaPads. If I'm wrong, I'm sure an expert Lenovo is soon be along to correct me, but at this point, I'd say you not 'touch' ability on your edge.

    HTH to clarify the bit.
