• Blocking of the Lenovo Thinkpad T520 disc problem

  Hello friends of Lenovo!

  I've got ThinkPad T520 and I really like it, but there is no question that makes me worried about the security of the data. There is a moment when the hard drive becomes hang for about a minute. This is the rate, usually happens when you try to connect to Windows 7... interface is still active, but hand disk is hang (green led is always on), it seems that everything is blocked because of the disc, but looks like it's doing nothing during that time. There are also some rare cases, when happens when I do work on it.

  I don't know what the reason for this problem. I guess it could be either:

  (a) internal (maybe physical) defects in HDD OR

  (b) there are some services in Windows 7 that allows to hang so long (my Windows directory is about 17 GB! He was already fat after the installation, I'm the second user of this computer, I bought it a month ago, still 2 years of guarantee).

  The hard drive is C300-MTFDBAK128MAG (SSD). You have a similar experience with this computer / hard disk?

  I called support in Poland call center today and they suggested to:

  (1) execute and test Windows 7 mode 'diagnostic' (msconfig) OR

  (2) the hard drive firmware update OR

  (3) send the computer to service center

  Obviously I don't want to waste time, because I use this computer for work. Do you know what could be the problem and what to do better to fix?

  Thank you very much!

  It's weird... The C300 should yield much more information?

• Used Thinkpad T520 - should I buy?

  Hello

  I intend to buy a used laptop (since I can't really afford a new, at least not a good). I found a good deal on ebay on a used Thinkpad T520, that is still under warranty by Lenovo. I want to buy it, but when I google a bit on this model, I came across some problems on a particular batch of motherboards for T420, T520, that have been produced by the end of 2011 (see here for example).

  This phone especially I want to buy was manufactured on June 2012, so, in theory, it should be safe. But I don't want to spend my money without being sure, so I thought I should ask you first (before buy you) and make sure that this batch of T520s that have been build on June 2012 are good.

  As far as I KNOW, he didn't y no defect known widespread with the T520 motherboard.

• Strobe effect of the ThinkPad T520 screen

  I have a ThinkPad T520 with installed Optimus graphics. I noticed that the screen has a sort of strobe effect, maybe the strobe effect isn't the best word, but basically what it does is you can see lines of light moving toward the bottom of the screen very quickly. It is most visible on the blue background of "Microsoft" by default.

  I tried to reinstall my graphic drivers, Optimus disabling and turning the refresh rate to 60 Hz, not good.

  After further tests, it seems to be more noticeable in the middle to low light. At full intensity, you don't notice the issue more.

  I looked around online, something about the inverter may be bad? The guarantee would cover this?

  Edit: Called support, they will replace the LCD unit.

• ThinkPad T520 RAM stuck at 1333 clock speed?

  Hi, I can't understand why on my T520, after the upgrade to 8 GB / 1333 Mhz to 16 GB / 1600 Mhz Crucial RAM, Speccy/CPU-Z always indicates they run to ~ 660 Mhz x 2 = ~ 1330?

  My specs are:

  For my T520 (4239-CTO) I have...

  Processor: Intel Core i7-2860QM 2.5 Ghz

  RAM: Crucial 16 GB (8 x 2 GB) DDR3-1600

  GPU: Intel HD 3000 / NVIDIA QUADRO NVS 4200 M

  OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 SP1 (w/latest updates)

  After searching on Google for a while and look around here, I read nothing that says I shouldn't be able to run at 1600 Mhz, especially given my processor supports officially this speed. Another post on this topic (not for the T520 specifically) mentioned that i7 contain the controller memory within itself. So... I am upset about the software settings in the BIOS or in my operating system?

  Any help is appreciated!

  2860QM supports the types of memory DDR3-1066/1333/1600, according to Intel. As for the limitation of speed in t520, I guess it is because the laptop t520 BIOS/EC. Analogues of x 220 in the BIOS v.1.29 the same speed of RAM limit has been introduced (x 220 support Intel 2nd generation SB CPU too).

  So, if you want a chance for support for 1600 mhz RAM compare version date x 220 v.1.29 of BIOS with the t520 BIOS updates and downgrade the version of the BIOS of your laptop.

• ThinkPad X 220 Tablet WWAN, module 3 G

  Dear all:

  I have a thinkpad X 220 tablet which do not have the card WWAN 3 G/GSM, and I was looking to get one for her because she has the slot for sim card and antenna.

  But I remember that my Thinkpad W500 has WWAN module, and since I was the compressed X 220 I do not use that one outside my house and now is more of a desktop computer, I thought maybe I could put the module WWAN on the W500 inside X 220 Tablet. I know they both use the same port, but I don't know if they physical fits and if it is really possible to do.

  So if you guys know anything about this please let me know, thank you very much guys.

  It won't work, because the X220t would have a white list of BIOS on the WWAN card type that works in the machine. Era of the W500 WWAN card would not be in the internal whitelist, and so you get an error when you start the device, which looks like not authorized card installed.

• ThinkPad X 1 Yoga WWAN

  Are the current models for sale on Lenovo web site "WWAN Ready"? By that I mean that they include the housing of SIM card and antenna WWAN and are simply missing the WWAN modem card? I am interested to buy one now and then add the WWAN card later. Thank you.

• Temperature of ThinkPad T520

  What is the temperature range of security for the T520 (or similar/all laptops?) I received my a week ago and remember all the components to idle at 100Fish and going about 120F under load, which I was happy with. Since then, the only thing demanding by the calculation I did with it is play Stalker SoC for about two hours, and the physically demanding thing I've done is walk a few miles with it in my backpack (also new, so I hope not dusty). However, my temperatures have strengthened. [IMG] http://k.min.us/icAVfKUr9.PNG [line] Here's my time with firefox, xchat, speccy and application of wow running update. Why this phenomenon happens, these temperatures are safe, they are normal and what should I do to maintain the health of my laptop? Thank you!

  Thanks for the reply! Well, I checked my power plan and it is 3/4 of the way to maximum performance. I moved it to the middle. I don't know how to check the CPU frequency, though.

  Ed: start wow updater after moving the slider towards the middle and my temperature is much lower. This marking as answer

• ThinkPad Edge with card WWan Gobi-2000 (no sim card installed)

  When I put a SIM card in the card holder. The software Lenovo says "no SIM installed".

  It's a card SIM KPN (dutch). If I look on the internet I can only find information on this controller to work with Vodafone cards. What is my problem?

  Is that what all do I have to change my settings, or whatever it is? When I use the SIM card in another USB WWan device it asks to enter a PIN. When it's the lenovo, it says that "no sim card installed."

  I hope someone can help out me.

  Thnx for the support.

  OK I found the solution on my own!

  It works fine now. After a while of search x_x

  It was just the sim PIN code. There was a pincode 0000 on the chip stock. I had to remove the PIN that using my cell phone.

  Now, I can finally use my Wwan card!

• T520 RX LED always on andTX

  My ThinkPad T520, connected to the Internet through the Intel 6300 wireless card. Indicators for the Ethernet RJ45 port are still regularly informed. I suspect that they shouldn't be. Ideas?

  Sorry for the delay in responding. For some reason I try to solve in one minute I don't get notifications of replies. Just fixed it. My mistake.

  In any case, disabling the adapter did not help, but he reactivation and then turn off all the Wake on Lan and Magic Packet options solved the problem. LEDS are off and wireless connectivity is solid as a rock.

  This is probably a driver issue. I'm guessing that so few use Wake-On-Lan that nobody noticed. I use downloaded Intel drivers directly from Intel because they came with everything else when I upgraded my setup WiDi. I had better luck with drivers Intel WiDi, then with the Lenovo drivers. The Magic Packet stuff was probably on default.

  In any case, I'll consider this resolved. Thank you from me in the Device Manager.

• How to stop Windows 10 message upgrade?

  Hello

  I started as a Mac user and then became a Linux user. I briefly used Windows XP SP2 on a homebuilt PC several years ago, while she was underway.

  The Thinkpad T520, that I was the first PC I bought with Windows pre-installed, and at first I really liked Windows 7 Pro. I bought it for Photoshop with my digital camera and for Office 2010 for people who insisted on sending me .docx documents that do not always work correctly with other programs.

  I am generally happy with Windows 7. He did what I needed it to do and even, let me make a few things that I couldn't do in Linux, for example, I could buy a BluRay player for the expansion Bay and install software to play BluRay movies - no DRM problem.

  I have even come to prefer Bing and now use it as my default search - even on my CentOS 7 workstations engine.

  But this Windows 10 upgrade stuff is really driving me crazy, ruin the experience. Windows 7 Pro works find what I need it to do, I don't want to deal with a new user interface when the software I have works fine in the current UI.

  But Windows 7 continues to harass improves to 10. I don't want, and it feels like an invasion to an operating system that I paid for the material that I paid to serve as a marketing tool for an upgrade that I really just don't want to.

  It feels like Microsoft is trying to force me to upgrade and I feel is not like that at all.

  I use to hate Microsoft. I saw that hatred was irrational. I started to love even the company. But that, it is to bring these old feelings of anguish, and I want that darn pop level - ups to stop.

  It's my phone, I'm on the version of Windows I want to run, a version that is still in charge. Just leave me alone already.
