ThinkPad R61i: problem with batteries.


Your battery charge cycle is quite high... battery most seem to start to fail from about 300 to 400 charges. You must limit the charging charging if you can, you set the charge cycle to start at the bottom of say 80% capacity and stop at 95%.

  • Ongoing problem with batteries

    I continue to have problems with batteries.  I had a series of files on my laptop. Imported into Lightroom and piles of work very well.  When I do the same thing (with the same file/folder structure) on my desktop, if I select two photos taken within two seconds of each other (just an example), all of the menus of the battery is gray. They are in the same folder.  I tried Lightroom closing and opening. I work on a Mac with the latest version of Lightroom (2.5).

    Are there certain preferences of configuration that somehow changed?  Anyone else experiencing this problem?

    Thank you

    You are 100% sure that you are not in a collection?  #1 reason it does not work is that you are in a collection, not a folder.  Stacking is not supported in the collections.

  • ThinkPad T510 problem with the CPU frequency

    Hello
    I was a problem with the CPU frequency - in DC or battery it works 1/2 frequency (1196 MHz), but when my thinkpad plugged and is with battery it works OK (2400 MHz).
    Do you have any suggestions how to solve this problem.

    ThinkPad T510 (4384) intel core i5, 6 GB of Ram.
    Thank you.
    Best regards Nikolay

    What your seeing is actually normal and a result of power management settings. When it is on battery, the reduced CPU clock speed to improve the battery life and only increases in speed if a program requires processing power (games, adobe photoshop, CAD, etc.). If you wish, you can disable this feature by setting the "maximum performance" option in the Lenovo power management program and get into the bios and disable "Intel Speedstep" and similar power options setting. I hope this helps.

  • Problems of battery/AC on thinkpad r61i

    I have a R61i that has had great up until recently.  I hope that someone can point me in the right direction so that there is a problem with the battery, the power adapter or the receiver power on the motherboard.

    I came across several other questions about the battery and power with the r61i but problems none meet my symptoms and are resolved.

    Symptoms:

    battery does not charge

    computer doesn't work with connected AC, regardless of the question whether the battery is in

    Seeing AC does not come on when it is plugged

    the battery light flashes orange until the juice is completely released

    I have not yet tested the adapter with a multimeter, but intend to do tomorrow. (I'll update when I do)

    I called Lenovo and my battery does not fall under the recall on batteries they have for r61i's.

    I read that these symptoms could be caused by a too low battery, which can be resolved to charge the battery for a long period of time, but as much as I know it is not receiving any load now.

    Is it possible to check the status of the receiver power supply on the motherboard?

    If it is the motherboard I'm SOL or is it possible to fix beyond buying a new motherboard (I'm out of warranty so if that's the case I'll probably just buy a new computer)

    Is there anything else that could be the cause? Are there other tests I should run because I can not power on the computer?

    Any help is very appreciated.

    Make sure you get the ground to + 20 v when the voltage check and not zero, which is actually a PIN that indicates to the laptop what is the rating of the PSU.

  • ThinkPad X 230 Windows 7-64: problems with the screen after updates

    Hi all

    I have a problem with the Thinkpad X 230. After a recent update of Windows 7 (64-bit), the screen resolution is set to 800 x 600 and brightness to the minimum. FN + F8/F9 does not work. The brightness is uncontrolled. I had to restore the system before the update.

    How to solve the problem, do anyone know?

    Thank you!

    Hi Isosik,

    Welcome to Lenovo Community!

    According to the request, we understand that you are facing problem with the display resolution on your ThinkPad X 230.

    If you have updated the drivers from Windows update, sometimes this kind of problem occurs with windows generic drivers for cause of driver incompatibility, suggest always update drivers only via the ThinkVantage System Update utility. Update only the application of Microsoft Windows Update.

    You can also manually download the drivers from the Lenovo support site.

  • Problem with Windows Update after the new installation of Windows 7 Pro the Lenovo ThinkPad X 200

    I'm trying to do a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro on a Lenovo ThinkPad X 200. The product key is easy to find on the sticker of the ThinkPad. However, the version of Windows is hidden (for example, I can't check that my ThinkPad had originally installed Windows 7 Pro). I was able to install by using a Pro Win 7 SP1 CD ROM I bought for another installation. I used the ThinkPad I was trying to make the new facility on the product key. I was able to activate the Windows 7 Pro using the phone call and my cell phone. I checked the activation! However, I have problems with Windows update. The product key may be a different version of Windows 7. If so, why did it install and activate OK? Y at - it a fix for this problem or I have to buy a new version of Windows 7 Pro? Please note that I have not yet installed all drivers Lenovo ThinkPad as I can't seem to install correctly. Thank you!

    Since the issue is updated to Windows, it is not a product number key.

    You can reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on this page. But if there is malware present, she will continue to reset the connection to the update servers:

    How to reset the Windows Update components

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

    Suggest you download and save the Fixit. Then configure the system before the clean boot by running:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista/Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously. Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode. Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers. If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode. Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.

  • I started having problems with the wireless mouse and the carpet of my laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad T420 mouse.

    Original title: right click on the mouse itself activating

    I borrowed a USB to a person at work and I started having problems with the wireless mouse and the carpet of my laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad T420 mouse. The left click of two devices works normally, however, sometimes she does not respond to clicks and it takes a few seconds to work. The left button was constantly starts to turn on, as if he was stuck. After that I hit Alt + Tab and modify windows it stops for a few moments and starts at a later date. I havo not found a specific condition or a combination of keys that may trigger the fault.

    I read a few posts on discussion forums, but all say that it could be a hardware problem, which I think is not, because both devices have the same problem and I'm sure it all started with the insertion of the borrowed memory stick. I scanned the readers to help Symantec's EndPoint Protection and installed Microsoft Security Essentials and performed a full scan, but found nothing. I even restored the system, but the problem remains.

    Should I get a different antivirus? How can I find the cause so I can find a better targeted solution?

    Try to install the drivers from this link and check.

  • Wireless and LAN problem with Thinkpad

    Im having serious problems with my Thinkpad T61p on my wireless and LAN drivers (at least I think it is the drivers, could be something else). This can be a long explanation, but please bear with me.

    Yesterday, after seeing an example on the net, I tried to connect my xbox 360 to my laptop. I thought I'd be able to play on the xbox wireless using the laptop as a gateway to my router. I never had any problems before with logins, and had the wireless on my home network.

    After plugging in an Ethernet cable into the laptop and xbox (following the instructions, I had online), I became "Network connections", (start-> Control Panel-> network connections). I had used a cable to connect your desktop to my laptop before and normally when you go to network connections, the connection between them appears as an icon. This time, has no icon.

    I decided to try and create a connection. At this point my wireless was still working because I was always browsing the net. On the left sidebar, I clicked on "create a new connection". Hit next, and then click the radio button "set up an advanced connection." "Accept inbound connections" option box pressed, the next button. Finally, a link has been created, but when I went to go again my wireless connection dropped. I went back and removed the link to "network connections".

    I opened "Logins" and tried to connect to my home profile. No results. I tried clicking on 'Search' to see were there any other networks available and all I kept getting was: "the wireless radio is turned off. You want to turn on? ". Press 'Yes', landmark of waiting a few seconds, click on 'Search' again, same message. No matter what I did, I couldn't get the wireless to turn on. So I found this thread:

    http://forums.Lenovo.com/LNV/board/message?board.ID=T_Series_Thinkpads&thread.ID=3314&view=by_date_a...

    and decided it was best to update access connections. It came as a default as version 4.42 so I updated to 5.12. Rebooted and tried again. Now the wireless starts up fine, but when I look for my router connections, some networks are located.

    Next to this thread:

    http://forums.Lenovo.com/LNV/board/message?board.ID=Special_Interest_Utilities&thread.ID=524

    I updated my drivers and countless other things without success. I've updated wireless drivers from this page and dial-up connections to:

    Another strange thing I see is that when I try to 'Create a new connection' 'Network connections', select 'Create a home or small business network', keep the progression through each other, it is to choose connections it is said that both my wireless and LAN are disconnected.

    Wireless that I use is: Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AG

    LAN: Intel 82566MM Gigabit Network Connection

    It is not to have problems in Device Manager and that these two are enabled.

    Does anyone have an idea of what is after occurrence and how I could fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated, because I need it for work soon.

  • Problem with IBM Thinkpad X 40 (disconnection |) WiFi)

    Hi all

    I use IBM ThinkPad x 40 with XP Pro SP3 x 86. I have the latest drivers for my laptop:

    Wireless driver LAN 2100 3B: driver - 02.08.2006 date; Version - 1.2.5.37
    LAN Driver 1000 MT Mobile connection: driver - 20.08.2008 date; Version - 8.10.3.0
    My router is Linksys WRT 320N, using new firmware: Ver.1.0.05 (Build 2) from 14/12/2011

    Note: The problem (the issue of sectioning) only occurs during downloding, video streaming, only when the connection is fully "charged".

    I use my router with many other features wireless (also ' i' devices) and I do not suffer the same problem.

    I hope that you will be able to help me.

    Kind regards

    saketo

    Hi Alexander,.

    I don't think that it's such a compatibility problem, as far as the card in the x 40 is a speed card B.  By today's standards, it is quite slow.  Don't get me wrong, I love my x40s.  But, one of my friends had a speed card B in it and she would lose the connection on a regular basis.  I put a map of 2200 BG in it and had no more problems with the connection and the download speed has increased significantly.

    Edit: Your 40 x can also draw a 2915ABG wireless card.  Scroll the Maintenance Manual of material for list items and there is one for Europe.

    Here is a link to the Manual of Maintenance of equipment .  Page 81 shows the wireless card.  It is very easy to change, only 2 clips and 2 antennas, and these cards are real cheap these days.

    Or, you can just use a USB wireless adapter to connect with.

    One thing you can try if you are using xp has to go into Device Manager, right click on the wireless adapter and click Properties.  Click the Advanced tab. Make sure the transmission power is set to the highest and feeding management is the highest.

    If you use the Intel Proset software, make sure the Intel throughout the improvement has the highest value.

  • Touchpad problems with windows Thinkpad Yoga 12-10

    So I had this 12 Yoga for about 3 moths now. Last month, after that I installed a new update of windows, the touchpad and the trackpoint would not work, as it has been disabled. I tried to uninstall the driver and then reinstall - did not work. I even reset the computer. STILL DOES NOT WORK. So I ran the Verifier who told me that one of the Lenovo products had problems with it - I know more what one - so I uninstalled. Still did not work.

    After all that, I tried again to uninstall the synaptics drive. When I uninstalled it... He was always there! I don't know how, but he was always there and now the touchpad and trackpoint two works. Well, sporadically. It will work for a few minutes, then will not work for a few minutes (or more). Then. It is where I am now (actually, right now, I'm writing this, the trackpoint is oop nvm. work it stopped working).

    Any thoughts on how to solve this problem? Thank you!

    Also, when the touchpad & trackpoint, windows buttons are more condensed, so that when it does not, the buttons are more spread out (see links below).

    "Digest".

    "spread".

    PS also, computer person seriously dragging when you press the CapsLock key? So, which turns off the keyboard for a solid 7 seconds?

    I THINK I SOLVED THE PROBLEM THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

  • Problem with my Thinkpad SL500 reading blank DVDs

    My SL500 will not read the sony blank DVD brand I. I know that my hard drive is functional. My drive plays DVD fine, he reads the Virgin and regular music CD. If this blank DVD is too recent for the SL500 read, lenovo should release the firmware to fix the problem. Has anyone else has problems with this? Thank you!

    Nevermind, just found that this model can not record DVDs, CD only. It's pretty sad given that I bought in 2009... Guess I'll have to look into updating my disk.

  • Problem with ThinkPad T43p

    Hello

    I am writing to you, because I have a big problem with my laptop T43p. In the mouth there is while I'm working with it, it just stopped, but it has not been extinguished. I tried to restart it and it was loading Windows XP Home edition and stopped again. I thought, he had become dirty inside, and everything has happened because of the high temperature, which generated inside. I brought to the IBM Service license. They cleaned it but the problem was not solved. I made strong impression when I'm pushing the right on the touchpad, it's just work countinue. But when my fingers aren't on this right touchpad it blocks again, just stop working.

    If anyone has any information on this problem let me know with a massage.

    Thank you

    This is a known issue, it is from the most likely GPU.

    He can't seem to read a specific type of DVD that I usually use to burn data and backup with rescue & recovery. When I place the DVD, which is a Sony DVD - RW, in the car, he just kept reading (I could hear it turns inside), then the player is stopped. I tried several methods, some of which are:
