Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Bluetooth Module Not Recognized By Y550 IdeaPad

Aug 9, 2009

I recent bought another y550 IdeaPad running Win7 because I like the one I already had that my wife uses.  The new y550 came with a Broadcom bluetooth module but the computer did not recognize the module during startup.  I thought the module may have been bad so I bought another one on eBay that had be tested by the seller.  I finally found the location of the module by taking the computer apart.  (It is located under the palm rest bezel.)  When I installed the device and put the computer back together (except the keyboard for access to the bluetooth module socket located under the keyboard), the computer hung up while it loaded but the bluetooth icon on the speaker panel continued to be lit. 

I unplugged the module to restart the computer and plugged the module back in.  Windows recognized the device and the drivers were loaded.  I put keyboard back in place and the device worked until I accessed the BIOS on the next start up.  After that, the module was never discovered by the computer regardless of deleting the drivers for the module and the energy management software, etc.
 
When I reboot the machine, the computer never seems to look at the bluetooth module because the bluetooth light never illuminates.  Also, the Fn+F5 short cut does not show a bluetooth device as being installed on the computer.  How to get the computer to recognize the bluetooth device since I think it might be a machine issue or BIOS issue rather than a windows 7 issue.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: IdeaPad Y550 - PC Crashes After 5 Minutes Of Playing Game

May 1, 2009

I have a y550 ideapad (gpu gt 130m) and i have a problem which is similar to others: when i play a game, after sometimes, from 5min to more than one hour, the pc crashes (black screen, but with backlight, harddisk still running, sound buffer played again and again, no response from keyboard) and i have to switch off the computer to start it again and everything is ok.

So i have tested my ram and gpu ram, no problem

I test the temperature - log of gpu-z: Ok except one thing, at the very end, just before the crash, the GPU memory clock goes from 799.2 (which is the speed during gaming) to 800.00Mhz and the temperature goes from 66°C to 255°C instantly. So there is the bug, software bug?

I want to manage the speed of the gpu memory (to put it max to 799.2) but there is nothing in the BIOS....

Lenovo B / G Series :: G570 - Bluetooth Not Recognized After Update To Windows 8.1

Nov 4, 2014

First my notebook specs
Lenovo G570 (part number: 43345JU)
i5-2410M
8GB RAM
Qualcomm Atheros AR9285 WLAN
dont know the make of bluetooth (mostly broadcomm)
Came with Win7 Home premium x64
 
The Win7 that it came with also had lenovo energy management through which I could toggle the WLAN and bluetooth on and off. Since I never used the bluetooth, I turned it off via energy mgmt.
 
Also interestingly, when I was running Win7 I had it dual boot with Ubuntu. And if my Bluetooth was turned off via EM from win7... bluetooth wouldn't be recognised in ubuntu and there was no way of turning it back on... I had to boot back into win7 and turn it on via EM and boot back into ubuntu.
 
Recently I updated to Win8.1 but hadn't turned on the bluetooth before doing so. In Win8.1 the bluetooth device is not recognised anywhere..not in PC settings(metro UI), not even in device manager. I tried to install the energy management for 8.1 from the support site but it was extremely buggy and didnt find any option to turn on bluetooth. The old EM didnt install properly in comaptibilty mode.
 
In ubuntu now (dual boot with win8.1) its still the same. Bluetooth not regonised just as before.
 
I cannot go back to win7 now. There is no proper EM for win8.1. There is no option in BIOS regarding bluetooth. How do i turn on the bluetooth adapter?

Lenovo ThinkPad W Series :: W520 - Bluetooth Device Not Recognized By Windows 7

Jul 18, 2011

Just received my Thinkpad W520 4270 CTO with bluetooth installed. It was a DOS workstation that I installed Win 7 x64 Ultimate on and I finally got all the drivers installed but the bluetooth software says there is no BT device connected to my laptop. I checked the BIOS settings and confirmed the BT is enabled. I even disabled it, saved, then enabled it to toggle. Hitting the Fn+5 combo doesn't trigger the light or any "Found New Hardware." When the laptop first boots up the BT light flashes along with the wifi light and the HDD activity light. I haven't yet been able to load another OS, but I'm downloading Arch Linux and BackTrack 5 to test to see it's possibly an OS issue.
 
I realize the sticky about the "do not update the bluetooth drivers" but I'm not getting my bluetooth to work at all, not even being recognized by the OS as an "unknown device."

Lenovo U/S Series :: IdeaPad U330p - Bluetooth Symbol Appears Every 20 Seconds

Jan 9, 2015

The day before yesterday I bought a new Lenovo IdeaPad U330p without operating system. I already installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, Microsoft Office 2013 and some drivers.

Yesterday everything worked properly, but since today there's always a bluetooth symbol appearing (approximately) every 20 sec) on the right side of the screen. It disappears immediately.

It is not possible to click on the symbol, it still disappears.
 
I already tried to uninstall the Bluetooth-driver, but it didn't work. After restart they are reinstalled automatically.

Lenovo U/S Series :: IdeaPad U410 - Bluetooth Freezes / Stopped Working After Few Minutes Of Use

Jul 31, 2012

I have had my Ideapad U410 for about 18 months now.
 
Recently my bluetooth mouse has stopped working after a few minutes of use. If I switch the mouse off and then on again it works again. I assumed that it was a problem with the mouse so I purchased a new one.
 
Guess what. The same problem.
 
Now with two blutooth mice displaying the same problem I am guessing that the trouble lies within the laptop, but what to do to identify whats going wrong.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Camera Isn't Starting On Y550

Aug 9, 2010

Ok, I have a Y550, and lately when I go to start EasyCapture or more commonly Skype, the camera doesn't turn on (no white LED next to it). I go to EasyCapture to see if that works, and then settings, and the only option I have for which camera is UScreenCapture, or None. Do I just need to update the driver, or is something actually wrong?

Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga S Series :: Installing A 3G / LTE Module On It?

Jul 14, 2014

Is there a possibility of installing a 3G/LTE module on the Thinkpad Yoga? To my understanding there is an m.sata slot on the Yoga that allows for us to put extra SSD hard drives on it. Is it possible to replace it?
 
If not, are there other methods other than using usb-dongles or hotspots?

Lenovo Yoga Flex 14 :: Dropping Bluetooth Connection On IdeaPad I3 Laptop?

Jul 29, 2014

I've been trying to use a Logitech ultrathin touch bluetooth mouse and microsoft sculpt mobile bluetooth keyboard with my ideapad. I'm running Windows 8.1.  Both work fine for a while but then it appears they lose the bluetooth connection. This seems to often coincide with access network/internet over WiFi. The only solution is to call up the Bluetooth manage devices setting and let it reconnect.  If I leave the manage bluetooth device page open on a second screen it works, but clearly its not ideal! 
 
I was running the Lenovo driver for Bluetooth but I've tried removing it and using the Generic Windows driver.  So far though the same happened after a short while.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X1 Carbon Memory Cannot Be Recognized

Nov 9, 2014

I have newly bought a x1 carbon with 8g memory and i7 4660u, system win7 4 bites, the model is 20A7 CTO1WW, I didn't choose the high resolution screen because I think it is not neccessary.

But the usable momery is only 3.08gb, i am very confused and don't know what is the problem. Is it because the mainboard doesn't support 8g memory?

Here is the picture of system information.

Dell :: XPSm1530 Bluetooth Module

Silly me, I forgot to select it when I purchased the computer.

I would like to buy it and install it myself, but I am not sure which one to buy since none of them expressly say they are for the m1530.

Lenovo B / G Series :: WiFi Interface Is Not Being Recognized On G475 With Windows 8

Feb 5, 2013

I just did a fresh install of Windows 8 on my Lenovo G475 and everything works fine but my wifi connection. This is what I have done so far: I...

- Installed Windows 8 and kept the laptop connected to the Internet via the ethernet card (to make sure all the installation process went smoothly).
- Updated Windows 8 via Windows Update.
- Downloaded missing drivers for Windows 8. They were: Realtek Card Reader Driver, Lenovo Energy Management and Wireless LAN driver.
- Installed all of them with administrator privileges and all of them went fine but the wireless LAN driver.
- At this point, Device Manager didn't show any device with a "?" so I assumed everything was fine.
- But no, because no wifi interface showed up in the device manager window.
- If i change the position of the wireless physical switch (at the front of my laptop, on my left), the bluetooth device goes off and on in the device manager window. But in no case, any wifi interface appeared / dissappeared.
- I also typed fn+f5 several times to toggle airplane on/off but did not work at all.
- Then I installed Windows 7 driver for the wireless card but didn't work either.
- I revised the BIOS and the wifi interface is activated.
 
It looks like the wifi component of the wireless card is hidden/undetected to Windows 8 (bluetooth works fine. I assume both wifi+bluetooth belongs to the same card).

Dell :: 370 Bluetooth Module + BT Travel Mouse

Jul 22, 2009

I wanted to add Bluetooth to my laptop so that I could get a wireless mouse (and down the road, a wireless keyboard as well). I know I could have went with some sort of RF wireless, but I just know that somewhere down the line I would end up losing the dongle -- so BT was the best bet!

Made my purchase 7/21 early in the AM, and my items arrived on 7/22 in the afternoon! I live in Indy, and the items came from near Dayton, Ohio... but still, talk about free shipping! I also purchased a new SwissGear/Wenger backpack, and that shipped separately from South Bend, Indiana -- and also arrived today on 7/22.

Went to install the BT module in my laptop, and my worst fear was true -- Dell sent me the wrong screws! There were many reviews on the Dell site about them sending out the wrong screws, and I was afraid it would happen, and unfortunately it did. I went through all my screws, and could not find anything that would fit... so, so that I could test the module I temporarily left it installed without being screwed it. The install was uber-easy, connect up the blue antenna, and done!

I really like this travel mouse, as well. I put some rechargeable batteries in it which I hope will help it last for quite a while. Its slightly larger than my previous wired travel mouse (from Logitech), but I like that. It isnt anywhere near being a full-size mouse, but its a good size for me. A little heavy with two AA batteries in it, but not terrible or anything. I'd might try to find a little pouch to stuff it in when taking it with me, for a little extra scratch-protection and what-not. Oh, I got the matte black version, cuz I hate glossy things that show fingerprints

I chatted with Dell tonight, and they are "supposedly" sending me the proper screws... in 3-5 business days. I tried to get them to upgrade that to overnight shipping so I would definitely have them this week, but they absolutely refused to do that. So now I need to shut the laptop back down and remove the BT card because I don't like the idea of it just dangling in there not being screwed down.

Anyway, thats my experience. My first attempt at an upgrade to my Studio 15 (1537). Next will be a back-lit keyboard, when the finances are not so ... strained After that, maybe a bluetooth keyboard if I can find a decent one that isn't like a bajillion dollars

Lenovo ThinkPad W Series :: W540 ExpressCard Ethernet Adapter Not Getting Recognized

Jul 29, 2014

I just got a W540 running Windows 7 x64 at work.  I have an ExpressCard ethernet adapter (A Belkin f5u250), and I'm having trouble getting it working.
 
I used this card on a W510 running Windows XP for years with no issues.  I can still plug it into that laptop and have it work just fine.  However, when I plug it into the W540, nothing happens.  Windows does nothing.  It doesn't act like it's trying to identify hardware, go find drivers, or anything.  Nothing shows up or changes in the device manager, either.
 
I've tried doing the "add legacy hardware" thing in device manager, but I've had no luck with that, either.  If I do an autodetect, it doesn't find anything, and if I manually browse to the driver, it then brings me to a list of devices, and the list is empty.
 
Is there something special I need to do to enable the expresscard slot, or enable plug and play for it, or something?
