• error 0210: stuck key 2B - thinkpad t61 + windows 7 32 bit

  "Whenever I turn on the system I get this error 0210: stuck key 2B. If I press the ESC key, then she starts the operating system windows 7 and also after starting, if I open any ms word document, key # gets automatically in a hurry and I could see characters # continues typing in the doc, he started only after installing the w7 in my thinkpad. Can anyone suggest me if it is a failure of keyboard or operating system issue. This is repeated even after I clean the keyboard and then turn it on again. What happens in the bios, I hear a continuous even in the bios beep as if some button get all the time. So please let me know what I need to change the keyboard everything or just reconnect it or something else is under way. Please help me, I wonder why this problem began immediately after I installed Windows 7. If its an OS problem, am I get the beep sound in the bios, so I think its definitely not the prob of os. something wrong with the keys isn't. Any suggestions or advice are appreciated, I ran the diagnostic of the HD, he took.

  Thank you

  manu555,

  If this happens in the BIOS as you note, that does anything have to do with the operating system.   As suggested from GMAC-R60, this indicates that the keyboard be bad or have a bad / intermittent connection to the system board, or something on the card system goes wrong.

  I will try:

  Checking the connection of physical keyboard:

  Remove and disconnect the keyboard - inspect the plug keyboard for any damage or visible corrosion.  Plug back in carefully and try again.  If the problems are still occurring, try...

  Clearing CMOS and reset the BIOS by default - sometimes you get somewhat stuck causing an abnormal condition:

  Remove the battery & AC adapter / CC.  Press and hold button power several times for an account of 5 each time.   Join AC and restart the computer.    Go into the BIOS and reloading the default values and save.  (there is an option to restore the default settings).  Stop.  Equip your battery and restart.

  Try to replace the keyboard - you can communicate with the service and order a keyboard replacement out of warranty or a local business partner of source on (if there are retailers of warranty allowed in your area, they will have the keyboard in stock or be able to order it).   Alternatively, check sales online - ebay, etc as you wish.

  If none of these steps solve it, so my next suggestion would be the system board, but I think it's rather unlikely.

• T500 Windows 8.1 drivers 64-bit

  I just installed an SSD in my 2081CTO ThinkPad T500 and did a clean install of Windows 64-bit Professional 8.1. As the system seems to be faster than with the original HARD drive / WIndows 7 Pro 64-bit, there are a number of missing drivers and Thinkpad apps:

  • Fingerprint drivers - Fingerprint software for 8.1 installs, but apparently not with the right drivers for this machine fingerprint sensor. Device Manager displays the sensor of fingerprint unmanned.
  • "Keyboard shortcuts" / on-screen display - I found a version on the Lenovo Web site that installs at least a piece, but the blue Fn keys combination with things like screen brightness, turn on/off wireless, etc does not work.
  • ThinkVantage support - the blue "ThinkVantage" button doesn't seem to have any software to trigger
  • Switchable graphics - when this option is enabled in the BIOS, only the Intel graphics card works. The ATI card shows that it cannot start in Device Manager. I set the BIOS to use discrete graphics and ignore the OS support for switchable graphics and now work the ATI card and the Intel adapter does not appear in Device Manager
  • PCI controller memory - shows in the device without driver manager
  • Serial port PCI - shows in the device without driver manager
  • Simple controller PCI of communication - shows in the device without driver manager

  Here is a screenshot of the Device Manager showing devices with missing drivers:

  

  Can someone point me drivers/software that will allow these devices on my T500? Alternatively, can anyone tell me if Lenovo can release the updated drivers that will sustain them?

  Thank you

  I suggest forget you turbo memory. Intel stop talking about and they have not released a driver since 2009. It is 2 years before service pack 1 has been released.

• Bluetooth on T500 and Win7-64 bit... How can it be difficult? !!

  Hello

  I have read several posts on this subject, but none of them solved my problem.

  I have a T500 2055-RH2, with windows 7 64 bit.

  I just bought a mouse bluetooth online and imagine how I feel after 3 hours of debugging-no need to install a mouse. In fact, my problem is more basic, I don't have bluetooth.

  I tried to install: Bluetooth with Enhanced Data rate software II for Windows 7, Vista - ThinkPad

  When I install it, it says finally that I have no bluetooth device, so somehow my bluetooth adapter is NOT enabled. Then I tried Fn + F5 to turn it on, but it is useless, because I do not see my WIFI inside, no trace of bluetooth...

  On the forum, I tried to install: ThinkPad Power Management driver for Windows 7

  I think it was already installed, but I installed it anyway, still no change, no provision of the Fn + F5, still nothing.

  I then even installed a driver WIDCOMM (broadcom), but then again, he says that he cannot find any bluetooth device.

  Is there an error that I don't know? Should I reinstall anything? What the HELL is wrong? How hard is it supposed to be to install such a base as bluetooth function? !

  Should I just throw the laptop out the window? Because I really want... (arg!)

  Help please...!

  Thank you...

  Uh, no, I don't. I'm sorry.

  The good news is that it may be possible to install it, but that would probably blow your warranty by the window, however there are also some beautiful small usb dongles of BT on the market, I think that Targus offer a.

• Latency Wireless Windows 7 64 bit

  I was struggling with a strange problem with openvpn on Windows 7 64 bit wireless.  Performance is very slow and my ping is very high on the openvpn from Windows XP Win7 wired connections and wireless connection.

  This seems to be a problem with the Intel WiFi Link 1000 BGN wireless card.  No update firmware is available from Lenovo or Intel for the card.

  Average ping latency is 30ms WinXP vpn wired as well as Win7 wired and wireless.  But going to 130ms + Win7, connection Wi - Fi!  This translates into a remote session which is like working in molasses.  Walk through code in Visual Studio on a remote Windows 7 machine when computer on a wireless connection so much lag time, it becomes unusable.  To connect remotely on a wired ethernet or Wireless N WinXP is so sensitive that sitting in front of the remote computer.

  Seems that my MTU is optimal for my internet connection.  I tested and found that 1480 is the minimum size package where I can ping and return a response "packet needs to be fragmented but DF set.»  So I leave my MTU to 1500 on cable and wireless on Win7 machine.

  So far I have (I think) excluded the following:

  Firewall - the two windows and to the router - have turned both without effect

  Antivirus - no change with it disabled

  Configuration of the router - put the laptop in the DMZ and no change

  MTU - tested 1500 as optimum

  ThinkPad drivers and BIOS - all the latest

  Everyone meet problems with this Intel 1000 wireless card?

  Thank you

  ThinkPad Edge 14 with Intel 1000 BGN NIC wireless

  I had a real problem with performance on several ThinkPads with Win7 wireless until I realized there is a new (or perhaps changed implementation) setting in Win7 it affecting power.

  If you go to control panel-> Power Options, then click on "Change plan settings" for your current power management.

  On the next screen click "change power avancΘs."

  In the next screen expand 'Wireless adapter settings', then 'Power Saving Mode '.

  Make sure that it is set for maximum Performance.

  You do not know if this will help your particular problem but hope.

• Windows 7 32 bit does not recognize 4 GB of RAM

  I just bought a new w500 with windows 7 32-bit and 4 GB of RAM, I know that windows 7 32 bit must be able to work with 4 GB of RAM, but when I check the Windows System Control Panel 7, he said: installed memory 4 GB, usable memory 2.46).

  When I check my setting of the video adapter it says 512 MB dedicated memory and 1024 MB shared memory.

  I don't really know what to do, I don't know I used the 4 GB ram with windows Vista Ultimate before and it was OK.

  He was everything to solve this problem? Do I have to install a 64-bit version of my windows 7 pro?

  If I is there a way I can install it with the serial number supplied with my laptop, so I don't have to buy a new version of windows, I've just will download and install a 64-bit version of windows 7.

  -Besides, I'm not 100% sure, but when I got the laptop, on the Panel of the system, he showed that he uses all the 4 GB of ram, after 1 day of use and when all Thinkpad and microsoft drivers updates have been installed, what happened.

  now, just please help me and tell me what I need to do?

  You probably need to transfer activation with something like ABR unless the key works for both versions now. Retail Vista keys worked for 32 and 64 bit version but haven't Lenovos OEM key.

  Regarding your 2.46 GB of ram - I the only thing that indicate is that Windows is telling you the truth its time. There is no way any 32-bit system can use full 4 GB. Information system in Vista have generally shown only to installed RAM without showing the usable memory. They fixed in Windows 7, and now, he can tell you the exact amount can be used. But that doesn't change anything but your taking of consciousness of the fact.

  Oh and when I was using Vista 32 it showed the / 3 gb in a first time and then went down to 2.46 I was installing graphic drivers. Switchable graphics driver supposedly did this and some users have reported that uninstalling / installing different drivers, but I prefer to install windows 64-bit for peace of mind.

• Some problems with the upgrade of RAM on Lenovo ThinkPad T500?

  Hello

  My laptop is Lenovo ThinkPad T500 and its main features as follows:

  -Processor Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 (2.53 GHz, 1066 MHz, 6MBL2).

  - 4 GB PC3 - 8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1067 MHz SODIMM Memory (2 DIMM).

  -ATI Mobility Radeon 3650 with 256 MB.

  I really need to upgrade the RAM to work with SharePoint 2010 and Windows Server 2008 R2. and my big question is:

  * How many memory locations that I have in my Lenovo ThinkPad T500?

  I read on (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-55644#t) that the maximum memory size for T500 is 8 GB.

  Yes, in case if my Lenovo ThinkPad T500 laptop has only two memory slots, so, I'll have to buy 2 memory cards of ThinkPad 4 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 Low-halogen SO-DIMM, in order to get the 8 GB... and I have to throw my current memory cards...

  My other question is:

  * Is easy to install/remove RAM in Lenovo ThinkPad T500?

  Sorry to ask the second question, but I have never dealt with before material.

  I would appreciate your inputs.

  Thank you for your consideration of my request and I look forward to hearing from you soon!

  The T500 has only two slots of RAM, so the upgrade to 8 GB would mean that your two existing 2 GB modules would need to be removed.

  Replacement of the RAM is simple; Remove the four screws for the Palm and the locations of memory will be under the palm rest.

• To access the HP LaserJet 1320 on Windows 7 64 bit computer

  I just replaced a desktop computer with a 64-bit Windows 7 computer and attached our HP 1320 laser printer via the USB port.  Windows 7 automatically configure.  The Win7 machine is connected to a local network with a 32-bit Windows XP Thinkpad.  Now, I can't reach the Thinkpad laser printer.  It is said the 'server is not the correct printer driver' but I can't find any way to update the server or the Thinkpad with a print driver.

  Reading these forums, it seems that I should have a 32-bit printer driver on Win7 64-bit computer.  Links to the center of Windows 7 compatibility to the HP support site, which says that there is no HP drivers for the HP 1320 for a 32-bit computer or a 64-bit Windows 7.

  How can I get the additional required driver and should be on the Win 7 machine (where the printer is connected) or on the Thinkpad?  I used to be able to print correctly from the Thinkpad.

  Thank you, thank you.  With a location for the universal print driver, I was able to solve the problem.  Let me rephrase the question as well as others who may have the same problem can also solve their problem.

  Problem: replaced XP with Win 7 64 bit desktop desktop.  HP 1320 printer connected to this desktop computer.  Win 7 Desktop connected via LAN to XP Thinkpad.  ThinkPad could use the printer connected to the HP 1320 network when the Office was an XP machine and could not use it when the Office was replaced by Win 7 64 bit desktop.  Win 7 has automatically added HP 1320 to the Win 7 machine using the universal printer PCL5 driver.

  In an attempt to 'add printer' to the Thinkpad XP, I kept getting an error message "server does not have the correct printer driver" and I had no luck successfully install a print server (Win 7) driver.

  I tried all the solutions proposed in this thread, of which most have a link to the site of HP print driver.  This HP site says there is no print drivers Windows 7 for HP 1320, because it is automatically recognized by Win 7 without special drivers.

  Resolution:

  Follow the link provided by "smittychat" (above) that gives a Universal Print Driver PCL 5 fixed for XP and 64-bit and 32-bit Windows 7.

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?prodNameId=4157320&locale=en_US&TaskID=135&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=503548

  I first tried to install the Windows 7 32-bit printer driver on new Win 7 desktop.  It does not work.  (don't forget, the error message, said the print Server driver is not correct)  Then I used the same link and moved to the Thinkpad, installation of the XP version of the Universal Print Driver PCL5 series.  I received an error message, but the installation worked.  I can now print with all the features (two sides printing, etc.) both the Windows 7 Desktop (printing locally) and the Thinkpad XP (printing via the local network).  Thank you "smittychat".  It took me a week.

  Hewlett-Packard is expected to change its pilot site so that verification of drivers Windows 7 points for the universal printer HP 1320 driver link.

• X 200-installation custom Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit?

  Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor says I need to perform a custom Windows 7 64-bit installation and reinstall my programs.

  Has anyone tried installing Windows 7 64 (from Vista 32)?  Is it possible to reinstall the utilities and programs/Thinkpad ThinkVantage?

  I wish I could continue to use the features of keyboard shortcut such as the brightness of the screen (Fn + PgUp/PgDn), "sleep mode" (Fn + F4), etc.  Also, how would it affect Rescue and Recovery?

  It would be better (less headaches) just to buy a new laptop with Windows 7 preinstalled?

  CTech wrote:

  Win 7 should work pretty well, well enough out of the box to allow you to get a web browser running session.

  So, after you install Win 7 X 64, go on the Lenovo support web site and download the system update utility. Once it's installed, run that and it will lower the relevant Lenovo drivers and utilities for your system configuration.

  You have to manually reinstall other applications and third party utilities.

  See you soon,.
