ThinkPad Edge 14 (0578RD 4) WLAN driver issues

I bought the new laptop Thinkpad Edge 14 about 4 days back.

I installed Windows 7 ultimate and continuous with the installation of the drivers.

All the drivers installed fine but my WiFi detects no signal.

I contacted lenovo support and they took my remote device on assisstance.

Fiddling for a while, the representative of tech confirmed that it was a hardware fault!

I thought to try with Ubuntu, and to my surprise, the WiFi works fine on ubuntu!

I then downloaded the drivers from the realtek website (module WiFi is the 8191 or 8192SE from realtek) and tried to reinstall, but my WiFi does just not on windows.

What could be?

  • 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.

  • Size of hard drive bay for Thinkpad Edge E430? and vs SATA 300 600

    I'm looking to get a bigger hard drive for my Thinkpad Edge E430, and I have two questions.

    The current drive is a Toshiba MK5061GSY - SATA 300. This is 0.4 inches high. I'm looking at a WD Green WD20NPVX - SATA 600. It is high 0.6inches.

    1. What size is the HARD drive Bay? Fits in a drive that is 0.6 inches in height?
    2. A disk SATA 600 is backward compatible with SATA-300 port?

    Thank you.

    Ivy Bridge CPU in the E430 supports SATAIII (6 Gb/s) for the main hard drive and the optical drive Bay.

    The height of the E430 hard drive Bay suitable for 7 and 9.5 mm (do not know what this amounts to in inches).

  • Satellite C870D - 11 X - Realtek WLAN Driver and adapter issues

    I hope this is the right place for some kind of assistance. Last week, I installed a Windows Update option for the Realtek Wireless Adapter. Once it was installed, the wireless connection dropped after 5 minutes and the only way to restore it was to run the troubleshooter where he repaired, and then lasted another 5 minutes before going down. I couldn't find a sequel to uninstall the update, so very foolishly uninstalled Realtek adapter in Control Panel Add/Remove programs who left my PC without a driver.

    I had to (and am still) attach my PC to my phone to use the Wi - Fi connection. I searched this site and found the Realtek adapter download and installed, however, its still does not. It does not detect the router home or any other nearby Wi - Fi access points. Windows diagnosis was performed several times, that he picked up that there is a problem with the Wi - Fi adapter, however, is unable to fix it. He said only: "There could be a problem with the driver for the adapter Wi - Fi" and when I fly over the result, it evokes "Windows could not automatically bind the Protocol IP on the network card stack.

    I tried to run a restore of the system which goes back to the date that I've installed and Windows has just said that the restoration has failed. If I need to do a complete reinstall, it will be the 2nd time in less than a year since I bought this PC. Please can anyone help with what I can do next? Thank you.

    At first, I must say that you should not install any driver that is offered by Windows update. Toshiba offers notebook with recovery image pre-installed that contains all the drivers, tools and utilities. The preinstalled drivers are tested and avoid a serious problem.

    Everything that you have done is good and I think that there is not so much possibilities except to the Reinstall original WLAN driver available on the Toshiba download page.
    > If I need to do a complete reinstall, it will be the 2nd time in less than a year since I bought this PC.
    OK, I understand that, but it does not depend on the recovery image, but in the way how you use your laptop. I phone 4 years old and always use installation of initial recovery with the original drivers and I have no problem.

    Sorry, but maybe you should back up all your important data and reinstall the recovery still image, but after doing that doesn't change anything. Just install major update of Windows, and no more than that.

  • ThinkPad Edge 13 - no wireless driver works

    Hey,.

    I have a Thinkpad Edge 13 and I just installed WIndows7 on it. The problem is that I installed all the drivers I could find on the site of lenovo for the wireless card, but none of them work. In Device Manager, the network adapter is still not identified.

    From what I've seen all lenovo drivers are for Intel adapters but Everest tells me that the network card is a Realtek PCIe BGE family. I also installed the Realtek drivers but still nothing.

    The network adapter is enabled in the BIOS and I tried the Fn not available wireless switch.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Thanks for the reply.

    Unfortunately I do not know how to find the type of machine.

    However, last night I finally got to work. It was my mistake, of course. The correct drivers were: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS014079 , I thought I tried all the but it turns out I missed those. Now, it works fine.

  • ThinkPad Edge S430 Sata 6 Gbit/s or 3 Gbps?

    Hello world

    I wonder if the internal SATA (not mSATA) port of the Thinkpad Edge S430 is a 6 Gbps port or 3 Gbps?

    Because internal 500 GB HDD is a Hitachi Travelstar Z7K500, which is normally a Sata 6 Gbps drive HARD, but said CrystalDiskInfo it only works in Sata 3 Gb/s modus.

    I know that the HARD drive is not fast enough to get out SATA 3 Gb/s max even when, but I want to replace by a SSD's SATA 6 GB/s HARD drive.

    So the question is why is the HARD drive works in SATA 3 gb/s modus. The jury only supports SATA 3 gb/s, or the OEM Version of the drive HARD Hitachi only does support SATA 3 gb/s?

    Has anyone replaced the HDD with a SSD already?

    Kind regards

    shivo222

    Bay drive HARD internal for S430 is 6 Gbps.

  • Satellite Pro A300-195: Realtek 8187 B Wlan driver and driver of Smartphone problem

    I have a Satellite Pro A300-195, running a card wireless Realtek 8187 B and Windows XP Professional. It was working fine until yesterday, when I installed the drivers for my new Samsung Galaxy S2.

    Now, I can access the internet if I connect to my laptop to the router using the cable ethernet, but if I try to do wireless, it gives me a list of networks, but it won't let connect me to one of them.

    It is the installation of new drivers or is this some sort of weird of incompatibility between the drivers for both devices?

    To be honest, I can't believe that the smartphone software would affect the WLan driver functionality but I don't know this smartphone software and so I can't say that for sure

    Then first of all, you should check if you have enabled the WLan card on your laptop. Did you? Using FN + F8, you can activate the Wlan.

    In addition, please check in Device Manager if the wireless network card is correctly recognized. Is there is some yellow exclamation points then it could mean that something is wrong here in this case it would be necessary to reinstall the Wlan driver.

    The Wlan driver can be found here:

    I recommend also to check the support page of the manufacturer of smartphone and check if there are a few known issues regarding this software

  • 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.
