ThinkPad Edge - Ref ECA TP 448 keyboard failure

• 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 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,

• ThinkPad Edge E420 keyboard (FRU) part number

  I have a Thinkpad Edge E420 model CTO 1141 - I need to replace the keyboard (spilled coffee and the keys are blocked)-since it is out of warranty, I intend to do it myself - when I looked for parts.

  If I give the model number, then the FRU for the keyboard presents itself as 04W0764.

  If I give the serial number also then the FRU will be 04W2631.

  Which is the right to a 04W0764 or a 04W2631?

  Two identical models are?

  Please notify.

  Thank you

  Hi bhaskar39, welcome to the forums.

  both are actually correct.  As far as I can tell that the 04W2631 is a number of 'old' that has been replaced by 04W0764. You can also use a 04W0800 that is from another manufacturer to another.

• 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 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 S430 DVD drive missing

• 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.

• 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?

• 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 E540: Compatible memory

  Hey,.

  Is there a memory compatible with Thinkpad Edge E540 list?

  I want to get either Crucial or Gskill, but don't know what games of these manufacturers module is compatible with the E540.

  In looking at DDR3 1.35 and 1.5V memory sets with 2 x 4 GB sticks

  Just a reminder that you must use 1.35v memory with CPU Haswell (ix-4xxx). HASWELL will not take 16 GB sticks.

  Other than that, anything DDR3-1333 and above should work.
