ThinkPad Edge 15 webcam problem/off button

Hello!
I have Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 15 and I have a little problem with that.

ThinkPad edge 15 has all sorts of buttons on the keyboard. As the volume, mute speaker buttons button etc.

The problem is that there is a button to turn off/turn on Webcam it (marked with yellow box in the picture), but its no longer works. Whenever I push, nothing happens (instead, it shows me with this ring mouse cursor). It should show me that the camera is in power. For example, it shows me my microphone turned off.      Like this:

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Battery Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 13 (0217) problem

    Hello guys,.

    Because I couldn't find a solution for my problem, I decided to write here, hoping that someone (by a team from Lenovo or users) have the same problem and therefore can help me.

    I have a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 model (version 0217). (I bought from a friend, because he didn't deliver more when I decided to buy it.)

    I have problems with my battery. The design of this capacity is 62.12 Wh, I used it wisely, so it was not always charged to 100%. I always unload down around 5-7% and then plug the power adapter. (See image).

    My first problem is that during the last 3 months, the capacity is down to 45,88 Wh and I can't really understand why. This can be a generic problem with the battery?

    My second problem is - for which I found another topic here, but it did not help me - that when I charge the battery, stops at 99% of load, showing "3 minutes is remaining" and if I disconnect and reconnect the adapter, it stops like 99% saying have completely loaded. In the battery maintenance, I changed the settings to "always fully charge' Custom, but still, it won't charge the battery fully.

    My third problem is that I have updated the BIOS of my laptop a few days ago, and when I try to search for an update of the firmware battery or when I do a battery meter reset, the system shuts down suddenly without any warning or something else.

    I would be really grateful if someone could help me with this, I like really my laptop but it really bothers me...

    Thanks in advance.

    (1) so that you must have used it a bit and then, under the charge cycle is at 234.

    (2) don't know, but sometimes my battery the fact.

    (3) download HWinfo32 and check your system temp, and what temperature your CPU is.

  • Problem of CPU ThinkPad Edge 14

    Hey

    So I had my Thinkpad Edge 14 since the end of last summer.  I keep putting it off, but now it has got to the point where I have enough of him.  Here's my problem:

    I connect my Thinkpad Edge 14 in the charger, which is obviously plugged into an outlet.  Usually, it is while the system is still working, but recently I tried to l ' first.  Now, about 1-2 minutes after I plug the laptop, the processor begins to FREAK OUT.  I put Rainmeter in place so I can keep track of my RAM/CPU/network and others.  So my little graphic of my CPU starts to spike and it goes from 0 %-> 26 %-> 0 %-> 78 %-> 100 %-> 0% and so on and so forth.  This does not happen over time, what is happening at all times.  The CPU just guard jump and fall.  It's killing my performance.  Everything becomes nervous and slow.  Opening a folder or my browser (which should take 2 seconds, if that) now takes about a minute.  Before, I could just turn off my phone and turn it back on, no problem.  Now, I disable and turn it 3 - 4 times and it is always jumping so I just let it stay there until the machine is loaded.  I got used to load just from one day to the next just so I don't have to deal with in the morning.  I don't have any idea what the problem is or how to stop it.  This has also nothing to do with going to Task Manager and ending a few process.  I tried and it does nothing.

    I hope someone can help me with this problem because I have not seen anywhere.  I looked through the Lenovo Web site and got nothing.


  • Problem installing Windows 7 on Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 665D817

    Hello

    I have a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 665D817 without an operating system and be able to install Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (msdnaa version). I actually had the Thinkpad even before and managed to install Windows 7 withouth any problems.

    After starting from the USB stick during installation without hard drive is located. To this end, I insert a second usb key with drivers for AMD AHCI Controller Device Driver for Windows 7 and select the directory of win7 64 bit. A driver to install is offered, but after installing it, it seems as if nothing happened. No disk is detected, and I can't continue the installation.

    thx for the help

    (by the way, the proposed here spell check does not recognize "Lenovo" - * lol *)

    I saw this happen occasionally during installation via the USB port. In my experience, it is when a USB 3.0 or eSATA/USB combo port is present. It does not occur if start you it from a Windows existing, nor happens during the installation of optical media.

    There is something that includes ImageX that you can use to install Windows, but that gets a little complicated.

  • 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:

    There should be a camera.

  • Problem with my simple on/off button music

    It's stupid to consider to what extent I'm away. (you would think I have this would already have in my library... it just never came so far.)

    I have an on off button toggles to simple music. It works great, but the music starts automatically when the SWF loads. I need to have it does NOT start when the swf file loads on the web page... only beginning of course when they switch to the 'on '.

    How I scheduled it, I can't understand. I know that the solution is EXTREMELY easy... my brain just won't grasp it. I included the. SWF and. FLA

    I'm in trouble.

    I looked at your file before I give all the answers today.  I also did what I said that you need to do and it works very well - just open the ON / OFF button movieclip and reverse the order of 2 frames.  I have not any strangeness and when I run the file started with the button showing the music stopped.  Clicking on WE started sound.  It's something I did.

  • 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

  • ThinkPad Edge E130 keyboard backlight?

    I just got new ThinkPad Edge E130 (3358 - 5DG) as my portable secondary on the side of my trusty W520. When traveling / flying W520 etc is just a little too big, so I wanted to have a smaller unit that I use in these conditions. I know that Edge is not supposed to match the quality of the series W, but wouldn't give a try for this beautiful little unit.

    Everything works pretty well, but the backlit keyboard (backlit keyboard) does not work. When you look at specifications of machine that it is clearly stated that the unit has keyboard backlight (which is a must for me), but there are also contained in fingerprint reader I know with certainty that it does not exist on this machine. Also it is visible in the pictures clearly has no fingerprint reader in any of the units E130 (which I didn't know and that you do not need either).

    FN + space combination should set up the lights and it is also printed on the keyboard. Press this combination gives me symbol OSD 'ThinkLight OFF' (icon with ThinkLight and line above it) whenever I press on it, so I have never 'ThinkLight ON' symbol and nothing is really happening in the keyboard. I updated all the software, etc. of Lenovo, so it's all the more recent version. Situation was the same before and after the update.

    So it seems that either A) my camera is faulty light keyboard or B) there is no light on the keyboard and standards applicable to devices are wrong on the Lenovo site.

    I tried to find information on this problem for the web and some said forums that some models that don't have a keyboard light still have keyboards with the printed markings of it. I also called Lenovo support, but they were not able to answer me either, they said that they have some documentation showing that there are keyboard backlight, but also some documents without him, while they were not able to say what the problem is. I'm waiting for more information from them, but no idea how much time is it going to take.

    If all of the ideas, can someone tell me how OSD works when you press Fn + combination of space when the unit is not equipped ThinkLight? My behavior is same as devices where there's no light on the keyboard and still print on the keyboard?

    My unit specifications can be found here: http://support.lenovo.com/en_FI/product-and-parts/detail.page?DocID=PD024686

    In standard: "ThinkLight keyboard light to illuminate the keyboard in order to improve visibility in low light conditions.»

    lead_org is right, that your machine has no backlight or think-light.

    The SPACEBAR key is printed with the light on all models.

    Hope this helps,

    Alex

  • ThinkPad Edge 14 does not charge

    I have a new problem with my laptop (ThinkPad Edge 14; 0578A 25) where the battery is.

    I have not had a problem until recently, and I don't know what caused it.  Here are the changes that have occurred since the last time I know, he has been in charge properly.

    Before noticing not battery

    1. Update all drivers Lenovo and your software by "Lenovo - update and drivers" in the control panel
    2. Noticed the new 'battery Firmware Update' in the power manager which was not in the old version.
    3. Utility of BFU said that it is up to date

    After noticing the charging of the battery has not been

    1. Uninstalled Power Manager and driver Power Manager, reset the management power and rebooted the computer
    2. Still not charging the battery, so I downloaded the wrapper battery to update the firmware on the Lenovo site and ran it (says firmware is up to date as well)
    3. Reinstalled Power Manager and driver Power Manager
    4. A ran a battery meter reset, but he would not be executed (battery was not load to full capacity, so my problem again)

    I don't know what else to try or where to go from here.  Is there anything I can try, maybe a way to reload the firmware to try to reset.  I don't want to have to buy a new battery when it was working fine until I used a Lenovo utility that obviously broke something.

    I HAVE THE SOLUTION!

    I turned off my antennas to my resources and find the solution.

    Appearantly, when everything, updated the driver loaded before Microsoft update is not compatible with the new updates.  So, here's what you do to remedy this:

    1. Turning off the computer completely (Shut Down, no standby or Hibernate
    2. Remove the levels, leaving only the AC adapter for power.
    3. Starting in "safe" mode
    4. Open Device Manager and expand the section of the battery.
    5. Remove all the drivers except the power adapter (right click and click on uninstall)
    6. Shut down the computer.
    7. Reinstall the battery, leaving the power adapter plugged as well upward.
    8. Turning on the computer as usual.

    Marvel at the fact that the battery is in charge now.

    Tony Lake, welcome to the forum.

    You can try the HP Partsurfer page to see if it is listed.  However, given that the computer is more than 9 years old, it may be unavailable at HP.  If this isn't the case, you can try a local computer repair shop to see if they have a third party that will work.
