[Y580] mSATA problem :/

• Y580 mouse problem

  Hi people,

  I came across a strange problem with my Y580. I recently needed to re install Windows 8 since 8.1 is not working on my Y580, or at least the WiFi does not work. Back to Windows 8 I have re installed all my drivers and almost everything seems to be working.

  What does work is my touchpad. Well, it strives to move the cursor, but I can't make gestures and when I scrolling with the touchpad, there will be a few lines, and then when I stop scrolling to happen maybe another 6 lines on its own - very frustrating.

  I tried to uninstall the drivers and reinstall them several times. I'm at the stage of ideas! One thing I've noticed, however, is that under "Mouse" there is no 'Synaptics' section at all. I should have something of the kind?

  I appreciate the help I can get.

  Thank you

  Very well. So I found a resolution to my problem.

  It began with the suggestion to "Unistall Synpatics Driver" of the control panel. I went into the menu "Unistall Program" and chose the Synaptics package manager. It would allow me to open because if cannot find the appropriate files.

  I am running a 64 GB Msata with a 750 GB HARD drive. so all I had to do was take the Synaptics of Program Files folder on the D: drive and copy it to the C: drive. BAM, everything started working!

  I want to thank everyone in this thread for your support! I hope that I have no more hiccups which is as easy to fix as this!

  Consider this resolved!

• Y580 mSATA will work with 6 GB/s speed?

  Hello

  According to Y580 Manual:

  SATA controller: serial ata, sata 6.0 GB/s, integrated into the chipset

  As it is said, SATA interface can work with 6.0 GB/s, but mSATA can work with this speed too?

  I need to know, because im afraid that I'll buy a 6.0 GB/s mSATA SSD and it works with 3.0 GB/s.

  Thank you.

  It will of course. The Msata slot is a sata3 (6 Gb/s) and the Bay 2.5 "is a sata 2 (3 Gb/s).

  I have a Crucial M4 installed in Msata slot. It's the 256 GB model. He gets of the readings all about 450-500Mbs and writes at about half that speed. I noticed different benchmarks give results different tho.

  Do not believe what the manufacturing, the speeds are, check with someone who actually put benched them.

• Y580 mSATA speed

  Hello world

  I recently bought the new lenovo laptop Y580, and I have a question that I couldn't find the answer to. I was wondering what is the connection speed for the mSATA slot. I know that the normal SATA hard drive connection is 3 Gbit/s, but I was hoping that the port of mSATA is 6 Gbps, what makes a big difference for SSD. If anyone can answer this question I would really appreciate it.

  Thank you

  Hi taylor,.

  According to the manual, it does.

• X 220 - boot from the SD slot?

  I have created an agent Acronis bootable on a spare SD card and hoped I could boot from it, as you can from USB key, since, like most of the machines I guess that the SD reader is connected internally to the USB bus.

  However, when I press F12 at startup to select a different boot device, it does not recognize the inserted, but for this, a USB SD card.

  I currently 1.16 BIOS, I was wondering if those with 1.19 BIOS (which sets the startup mSATA problem) could check if they insert a SD card and press F12 during startup if its recognized as boot device.

  Thank you

  The internal SD card reader is not a boot device.
  It is connected to the PCI-E bus (for best performance, I think, it showed much higher than average external), which means the BIOS could not access it as commom internal/USB drives (mSATA is a new category but with a new interface of essentially internal training).
  Even the BIOS might recognize, the software on the card needs driver for the card reader, or they simply not load because they cannot access their own media.

  If you need to use a bootable SD card, use with a USB port card reader. Mass storage device standard devices commonly are bootable.

• Add mSATA to Y580

  I had a problem adding mSATA my Y580.

  I've successfully added in the system, but I can not boot up to windows. The thing can be seen in the BIOS, and I put my HARD drive to be the 1st boot. Now, once that windows is about to load I've always had a blue screen.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you.

  the only solution that worked was restoring the old backup to a new msata. This means making the image of the existing installation of windows in the new msata.

• Y580 - do I have to install a 256GB SSD mSata instead of the 32 GB one?

  Hello

  I bought a Y580 with 750 + 32 GB SSD. I want to buy a Crucial M4 SSD mSATA and install it in place of the 32 GB one.

  Should what additional things I do this? Should I just covers or padding for her? Will it screw? In addition, it would be possible for my to install a new copy of Windows 7 on SSD?

  Would be really helpful if someone who's done this before post some links to the material I need.

  Thank you!

  For the size of the screws, refer to this topic
  http://forums.Lenovo.com/T5/IdeaPad-Y-U-V-Z-and-P-series/Y580-screw-size-that-secures-wireless-adapt...
  I'm not sure but I think that all the msata ssd are not the same size.
  For the installation of OS on ssd there was no problem because the size of the ssd 256 GB, which should be more than enough.
  Just to make a note, I want you to know that you can make use of the 32 GB ssd so by merging both the ssd and HDD by using fast disk. For this, you need to install the os on the ssd and join the readers. Read this document for more information

• How to install msata in Ideapad Y580?

  Can anyone provide a step by step instructions how install the msata ssd in the Y580?

  I got my lenovo Y580 with a 1 TB HARD drive and I want to add the ssd msata for caching purposes only.

  Thank you.

  THIS IS APPLICABLE ONLY IF YOU ARE CONFIGURING YOUR SSD AS A CACHE CONFIGURATION.

  The msata SSD used is MyDigitalSSD 64 GB 50 mm Bullet Proof mSATA SSD - MDM-5064.

  I read a number of threads in the net regarding installing the msata SSD in their Y580 Lenovo. Intel Rapid Storage Tech (TSRI) does not work and it is not applicable to Y580, because the "Accélération" function is missing.

  Here are the steps below:

  -backup all your files and create a bootable disc just in case where it will fail.

  -Install the msata in the slot. You can access at the back of your laptop by opening the cover 2 holes in the back.

  -set the bios to AHCI and not compatible.

  -Start windows.

  -Download the software "VeloSSD" trial from softpedia 2.0.0.7 and do not update to 2.0.1.1 or newer version. Note that the velossd 2.0.0.7 works well with my system. However the latest version will prompt me with the error. I have already asked the support for this software because of the problem I'm having.

  -start and configure the software, but the limitation of the software is only up to 32GB. However, when you buy it for $9.99, you can set a larger cache size.

  -FACT-

  Now with my current setup of Y580, I can boot windows 7 within the 35secs from optimizer to start EA.

• Y580: OS install on new mSATA SSD disk HARD + mSATA SSD config

  Hi guys,.

  I was wondering if anyone has done this? I have the 1 TB HDD + 32 GB mSATA config, but I want to install a new mSATA SSD possibly of 128 or 256 for my operating system and applications. I heard there was a problem with the removal of partitions due to Lenovo Rapid Storage. Has anyone successfully circumvented this?

  I guess that separate readers via these instructions http://78.9.150.202/pub/RapidDrive.pdf
  then saving them, putting in the mSATA SSD again and do a clean install should work.

• [Y580] SSD - mSATA vs SATA

  Hello

  I have a Y580 comes with the 7200 500 GB HDD. I think about adding 120GB SSD, but there are 2 solutions:

  1: buy a new mSATA SSD and add in the free space inside the laptop (from what I remember, there is enough room for it)

  2nd: buy a new SATA SSD and add it instead of the actual HARD disk (which I'll use an external enclosure to external hard drive).

  We suggest to you? Is significantly faster than the mSATA SATA? It is always worth to carry an external hard drive just to use the SATA SSD?

  What model\brand advise you?

  
  

• Y580 OneKey Theater + NumLock problem

  Hello

  I recently did a clean install on my new SSD and now I can not find driver OneKey Theater for Lenovo Y580 Windows 7 x 64. Any ideas where I can download it?

  Also my NumLock key does not boot when I start the operating system. It is not because of the system because registry numlock is set to its 2 ordinary (init at startup) and Lenovo BIOS is really poor, so I can't set up inside her. Any ideas, Tips how to operate? It becomes quite boring.

  Thanks for any answers in advance.

  Simon.

  Interesting P.S.: I had to apply my warranty because my keyboard was damaged when I bought the laptop, so I contacted Lenovo Support and I created a new service order. The operator asked me what is the problem then I said: "my keyboard is damaged and numlock does not start at the start of my operating system." His response was: "I don't understand, if you are able to squeeze and turn it on, what's the problem then? I guess I don't have to explain why I gave up to convince that, for me, it IS a problem and a bit boring. I use a password number

• Fresh Y580 Windows on new mSATA SSD

  Hello

  I have a question. My OS works on HARD drive, because I don't have a SSD, only the standard HARD disk. I recently bought the new mSATA SSD and now I want to install windows 7 on this new album. I have the OEM version of windows, so can I install new own edition windows Home premium and activate it with the current code? After that, I can download and install the drivers myself.

  I have already created OneKey recovery DVD with the factory settings, just in case.

  It will be nice just install new win and activate it with the existing code, but I've never done this before.

  Thnx for response.

  Hello
  Yes, you can do it. The only problem, which some people have faced is dual-boot. Sometimes, the two storage devices agree when each of them contains an operating system that can lead to errors. It is not important that you would face this, but I've mentioned just to tell you, because you know that beforehand you can meet it.
  Another thing, activation is that the key to COA (certificate of Aunthencity) on the back of your laptop does not work directly. You must contact microsoft to obtain a product key for time to use at this time.
  Ask if any clarity is necessary.

• Graphics problems Y580

  Hi, I just bought a Y580 with the nVidia gtx 660 m a couple of weeks. He ran great and I'm very happy with it, except for one thing, the graphics card automatically downclocks itself by about 430 MHz (more than 50%) when the laptop is not plugged into a wall outlet. This makes it almost impossible to play games when it is not plugged, which is one of the main attractions of a portable game. Also, I know that this is not a problem with my particular laptop, because my friend has the same laptop and its doing the same thing. I'm sure this has to do with energy saving, but it is not necessarily a huge factor to all users. If anyone knows how to disable this feature for energy savings, I would really appreciate the help.

  Thank you, Taylor

  Hello firefightsquad,

  There might be more opportunity than the GPU downclocking when its battery on.

  1. power save as set out at the BIOS level.
  2 reduce the power absorbed by the GPU to ensure it has enough 'juice' to power the CPU, LCD screen and other facilities you might have plugged into the USB port. This is to ensure the stability of system voltage.

  I understand also that there could be some software to prevent strangulation however I would advice not to use these software as its not tested by the development team.

  I hope this helps.

• Y580 video driver problem

  Having a problem with the graphics card from Nvidia in my Y580 on 64-bit Windows 8. The Intel card looks very good and functional. The Nvidia card appear in Device Manager as "Microsoft Basic display card.

I tried manually updating graphic map of base in directing it to folders with extracted video drivers. Still nothing. Any ideas?

• Maximum size of mSATA SSD in ideapad Y580

  Hi all

  What is the maximum size of mSATA SSD that is supported by Y580 ideapad?

  125 or 256 GB?

  What?

  Thanks in advance.

  Welcome to the community!

  I don't think that there is no constraint of size on the mSATA connection in your pc. the only constraints are the sizes of SSD and your wallet.

  I have not seen a larger than 256 GB yet and that's what I have in one of my machines. very happy with it.

  Cheers.
