• ThinkPad Edge not charging WITHOUT REASON APPARENTE

  Hello! I have a ThinkPad Edge 15. He had a problem loading the day I bought it. The people I bought it returned to IBM/Lenovo that apparently tight area where the charge lead goes to the PC? (I'm obviously not PC literate, sorry!)

  That has NOT fixed the problem, so when I got my laptop back, I called LEnovo, they sent me a new battery (even though I told them the "Power Manager", said the battery was in good condition) which did nothing. Then they sent me a new charge lead, once again - nada. They sent me a box to return the laptop to them. As I find how to put the laptop in the box, I looked more @ my PC and this is; shone the light that tells you if he is in charge! I never returned - it was last August.

  Last night. I looked @ the loading icon; 15%, no charging current!" Oops! Oh dear, not again! I went to the power manager, everything is fine. All my connections, same verified. Darn it all. I have a business. that is 90% SEARCH! MY PC DIED on me. I called Lenovo, they said - send it us.

  I still had the box since last summer, then he is out. I left the laptop plugged in my thoughts only, something might happen like last summer! HA! This morning I find how to pack, I watch over @ cell phone & guess WHAT! He has been in charge, the light was on. I lit and has right on this Forum to ask questions of you wise and knowledgeable people!

  First: I did what I thought, it was a decent amount of research before buying this laptop Lenovo. (I thought I was buying a ThinkPad Edge E520 - but that's another story) I really thought that "Lenovo" products have a good reputation. Yet, when on this Forum, I read a lot of posts on the problems of charging with the Edge series. What is everything? I buy another computer soon, but is reluctant to even look @ a Lenovo. If I had a case opened last night, I would have been freaked out! This is not acceptable! Lenovo has a good rep, or not?

  Second: What happens after my warranty expires in five months and it is ALWAYS the case? Is this PC a lemon? I've had a few laptops, and I have NEVER had anything that gave me as much hassle as this! My friend as a 15 years old song VAIO, which must NEVER, not once seen any problems! It has Windows Vista, same! 15 YEARS, not a single bump on the road! I got this SEVEN month, and if you add up, it's more than once a month! ARRGGGHHHHH!

  Third: If someone can make a good argument for staying with Lenovo; I need to look @ your desktop all-in-one or small. I used to say 'battery' has been my need to #1 to a computer, but now I realize that the 'reliability' is my requirement #1!  Maybe, a PC will be fast, one will be reliable? Sounds like a plan to me!

  I apologize for the length, and for my "evacuation." I hope that I didn't say anything, I should not have? TYVM for me to be on this Forum. You guys ROCK!

  Hi eefacm,

  So whenever you're ready to put the computer in the box, it starts to load, it seems that it is really a physical connection problem.

  It looks as if there is a loose wire, something may have slipped out of place and could be postponed.

  I recommend that you go ahead and send in your unit, regardless of whether it begins to load before you place it in the box.

  There is none of course say until you send it and let the repair depot look at him.

• 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 S430 DVD drive missing

  ThinkPad Edge S430 DVD missing disk.

  The DVD drive is missing from 'my computer '.

  It worked. Thank you very much

• 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 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.

• 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.
