W520 - Volume stuck on screen icons

When you press say the audio volume buttons or the brightness keys, a screen will temporarily appear on the screen and then disappear. However, they're stuck now and will not disappear without rebooting the machine. Is there any solution for this?

Hi Floresad08,

Welcome to Lenovo Community!

According to the request, we understand that you are facing problem with the volume status bar on your ThinkPad W520.

Confirm if the keys are locked, or that the application is stuck.

If she only the application please uninstall graphic driver, application function hotkey & Power Manager and reboot the system, after restarting the system run utility of ThinkVantage System update it will update all the necessary drivers for your system.

I hope this helps.

Best regards

Agnes Kumar

    I use a Dell Inspiron 1720 with windows vista and when I use the external sound keys to change the volume or activate it power, there is no popup or any symbol on the dash board to tell me what level my volume is or if it is enabled or disabled. I am obliged to judge everything by ear that my sound level is completely enter the control panel and open the volume tab, I don't want to do.

    Try these steps and check if that helps:

    ** Turn it back on. Sometimes a reboot will solve this problem.* *.

    1. close all programs and stop the laptop.

    2. remove all power supplies (battery and power cord)

    3. empty the remaining power by pressing the power on button for 30 seconds (even if you have no power).

    4. put the battery back and start the computer

    5. once fully loaded, right-click on the system tray and select Properties.

    6. This will bring to the top of the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" dialog box. The "Notification area" tab.

    7. at the bottom of the tab, is the area 'icons systems. " There is a checkbox for "Power". "check" the box and click on apply or OK.

    Also update your graphics card drivers.

    It works! Tanks a lot Johnny D.81!

    Most likely, this is caused by a 3rd party "software logon." For example, Omnipass is known to cause these 'issues '.
