• ThinkPad Edge E520 Graphics Upgrade

  My Lenovo comes with "Intel(r) HD Graphics Family."

  The side of the system of the "Windows experience index" gives me a "2.0" on the component "graphics of games."

  Can I get my updated graphs to update on my ThinkPad Edge E520?

  You cannot upgrade the graphics card without changing the map of mother together.

  Intel HD3000 graphics card should be much better than this, however.

• 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...

  Hello and welcome,

  Have you tried also to change the startup mode of UEFI to legacy?

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Lack of Webcam - have you seen him? ThinkPad Edge 11

  Hello Forum,

  using a ThinkPad Edge 11 2545-A12 Type i´am and I need the build-in Webcam.

  But I m out of ideas how to activate it!

  The system works with Win 7 and I tried to use less-Lenovo software as possible.

  +++

  The driver of the Webcam installation is awkward. Whenever I run the installation of the latest Lenovo-Webcam-Tool tool, it warns: "USB-Videogerät nicht found. Bitte schließen sie das USB-VIdeogerät one. No matter what installation language I choose, it s always in German. Translatet: "none - found USB camera. Please plug it properly. "

  +++

  So I installed the software HotKey (no need for this before) and I was hoping to be able to activate the camera by pressing Fn + F5. I was not. Diferent pressing FN + X is fine, but by pressing Fn + F5 came: "for pressing of these combinaten, you must install the utility Communication Thinkvantage 1.4 or higher.

  Ok...

  +++

  So I installed the 2.09 Thinkvantage communications utility and tried Fn + F5. Now, I have control over my audio stuff but nothing to do with a camera. Camera Options are not shown or grey.

  +++

  So I installed the center of update of Active hoping for luck. Three restarts and a few software updates later everything remains the same: "no-camera USB found. Please plug it properly. "

  +++

  Is it possible to get the camera to work? I don't want to get a one extern...

  Maybe you have an idea? I have some ideas to the left...

  Thank you and good weekend!

  Your Florian.

  Hi Florian.

  According to the description of the product:

  Athlon K325(1.3GHz) 2 GB RAM 320 GB 5400 RPM HD 11.6 in 1366 x 768 LCD ATI Radeon HD 4225 802.11bgn wireless Bluetooth 1 Gb Ethernet UltraNav camera 6 c Li-ion No. preloads

  There should be a camera.

  Edit: Go into the bios, under Security-> Port i/o settings, you can check the status of the camera enabled/disabled

• How can they take advantage of the Windows 7 upgrade option?

  The Windows 7 upgrade Option begins officially today that gives a free copy of W7 with Windows Vista PCs and laptops, and I wanted to know how I can take advantage of this offer when buying on the Toshiba site?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I searched on some pages of Toshiba for some details about this upgrade option and found the same pages published by Luke.

  It should be useful.

• 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.

• Expiration of the Windows 7 upgrade option!

  Hi, I bought a Toshiba laptop a few months before Windows 7 came out, making sure he had a Windows 7 upgrade option. I didn't upgrade when W7 came out because there could be problems with a new version - obviously I thought that I would wait to see how it was received. In any case, a friend of mine convinced me the other day that it is much better than Vista and I had to upgrade, but now I thought that there was a time limit on the upgrade option, and it expired on 28 February - last Sunday! I can either spend - I missed the boat. I called the customer service, but all they could do was repeat what the web page - the option has expired so far go.

  I'm not at all happy about this because at no time I tells me that there is a limit of time on it. He didn't say it in product information, or outside of the box or what be provided inside the box. I had no idea that I had to do before the end of February for this - if I did I would have done it.

  As far as I'm concerned, I paid for Windows 7. The upgrade option came as part of the cost of the laptop without any mention of a deadline. Toshiba can not see it like that, but it's a reasonable person would believe according to the information provided. Did someone else upset about this? I hope posting here will inspire the action without me having to be made to the small claims court. There is no way that this may be eligible under the law of consumption. Imagine a person selling a book token that had a period of 6 months without telling them and without printing anywhere on the token! That may not be legal.

  If all goes well, there will be a few of us to exert pressure on this issue.

  Hello

  I have ordered the Win7 upgrade kit at the right time and now use Win7 on my Satellite A300.

  What I can say is that this forum is nothing but forum users and here you won't find any option just official statement by people like you and me.
  Another thing, this downloadable image. As far as I know that something like that can not be downloaded.
  What you can do now is to buy the Microsoft installation disc and install the clean version of Win7.

  I don't know what model of laptop you have, but all new laptops are supported Win7 and you can find all the important factors, tools and utilities on Toshiba download page.

• 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

  Bay drive HARD internal for S430 is 6 Gbps.
