Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: IdeaPad Z510 - Using Conservation Mode In Energy Management
May 26, 2014
I recently bought an ideapad z510. You cannot separate the battery in this device, but i really like to keep my battery safe from some dangers like overcharging and discharging.
Now, my question is this: using conservation mode in energy management, which is the software that you can download it from lenovo, can keep my battery imaginary off of charging or not? because the battery charge remains at 60% when you plugged in, and doesn't this mode work when the computer is off , but it still plugged in?

I'm using win 8.1 x64, after successful installation, this app is running in background and i see that in the Task Manager but i can't see Energy Management User Interface to change battery mode and limit battery charging.

I just have a few questions about how conservation mode and express charging work. These two are located in Energy Manager under settings.
Conservation mode keeps the battery percent at 55-60%. How is this done? Does the computer discharge until 55% and then charge back up to 60%? Also, if the computer is off, but the AC adapter is left in, will the computer still remain between 55 and 60%? Are there any detrimental effects on the battery?
Express charging allows the computer to be fully charged in 100 minutes. How is this done? Why is this feature not enabled by default? Are there any detrimental effects on the battery?

I have been struggling with installing w8 on my Ideapad z510 laptop in UEFI mode, but neither I could succeed it nor I could I find something that might work. I will clearly explain the case.
Point 1:
As I understood, to succeed w8 install in UEFI format, one needs to choose "UEFI First" mode from Boot Menu in BIOS. Then, the source of the boot needs to be specified to identify the rigid path to the documents to load so that new OS could be installed correctly.
Problem1:
It is possible to chose UEFI First from boot mode, but it's not possible to choose the USB path for UEFI booting in this case, which doesn't allow you to succeed a UEFI boot to your computer. You can't reach the DVD or USB, where the installation files are, and start installation process.
Point2:
Considering the first case, you need to choose Legacy Support mode to boot your computer and reach USB disk or DVD to install new OS on the computer.
Problem2:
To succeed UEFI mode booting to the computer, you need to see 4 different partitions on your disk at point of disk selection, where you choose the disk you'll install your OS. However, when you select the Legacy Support mode from BIOS, the disk partition is limited to 2 in my case, which are:
Primary diskSystem reserved (350 MB)Hence, when I continue with the installation, the OS is installed on Legacy mode. After installation, when I go to BIOS to choose UEFI mode for boot mode, the laptop checks some connections from network and says
EFI network 0 for IPv4 failedEFI network 0 for IPv6 failed respectively.
PS: Please don't tell that "you can't install, because your computer doesn't support", because I received the computer from technical service and a version of W8 was installed on it in UEFI mode. However I deleted it to install W8 pro.

I have restarted my laptop and the processor is stuck in 2.5 GHz in all the energy modes.
The turbo boost doesn't work anymore and even when I choose Low energy or download mode, the frequency stays 2.5GHz while it was 0.75Ghz before.

Had my Z40-70 about two weeks now, and am having trouble getting Conservation Mode to actually kick in. So was wondering how to properly get this to go.
Had been calling up Energy Manager (v1.0.0.35) from the system tray, pressing the fly-out pane, clicking the last tab, and enabling Conservation Mode. Energy Manager even says it's on Conservation Mode, yet the battery is showing 'Fully Charged (100%)."
Whenever I happen to get Conservation Mode enabled, and need a fully charged battery the next day, I open the Energy Manager options and disable Conservation Mode. That usually sets it back to charging at 100%. But when I get back home ans want Conservation Mode, it never really goes into that mode - just says that it is.
So is there some ritual I should do each time, like turn off the laptop, unplug it, and turn it back on, then plug it back in, - or something else? Am at a total loss on getting this back into Conservation Mode.
What I had done on a previous attempt was to repair the program from the Lenovo rebuild partition (it is not hidden). But I don't want to do that every time I want Conservation Mode enabled again.
There has to be something else that I'm missing, as even the instructions over at Conservation Mode in Lenovo Energy Manager doesn't work in this case.
So what's the secret in getting back into Conservation Mode?

I think I mistakenly applied a Windows 8 Energy Management update to Windows 7 64 on a N586 and now the volume and display screen bars do not show.
I'm unable to reload the original drivers: error message "A later version of Energy Management is already installed on this machine. The setup cannot continue"
Now can I resolve this and reinstall the original Energy Management driver?

Recently I purchased a Lenovo Ideapad Z510, model name 20287, MO: YB03120328. According to the specification from my reseller (Dutch webshop [URL] and the Lenovo box it was shipped in, this laptop should have a 1000GB hard disk + 8 GB solid state memory (SSD) for caching. My problem is that I am not sure if the 8 GB SSD is working.
The SSD does not show as a drive in "My Computer", it does not show in Window's Disk Management utility (see Figure 1), Intel's Rapid Storage Technology does not show the possibility of using the SSD to accelerate performance (see Figure 2) and when running ExpressCache (with the command "eccmd.exe -info") the program tells me "HFS Volume is not mounted" and "ECCmd exited with error 0x10df (4319)".
All these clues lead me to believe that in fact no 8 GB SSD is installed, or if it is, that it is not working properly. Any additional ways of testing I could use to confirm it is or is not working?

I bought my lenovo Ideapad Z510 about 1.5 months ago. Since a week the laptop stops spontaneously.
At a certain moment the laptop stops and is completely off. The first time I immeditely checked if anything was hot, but the latop felt only just a little warmer than my hand.
I noticed that it occurs more often when it is on the AC adapter, but also when running on battery. I checked the temparature with 'speedfan' and the HD0 was about 39 degrees and the 4 cores where about 30 degrees.
I'm running windows 8.1 64bit

How come my T440s doesn't have the Lenovo Energy Manager program? I remember my other Ideapads had it. ThinkPads don't come with that program preinstalled? I wanted to do a battery gauge reset/recalibration.

I have Lenovo yoga 2 pro with a clean installed Windows 8.1 Pro. My Lenovo Energy Management doesn't function properly.
When I open the Energy Manager and click the menu button (the one with 3 dots and 3 stripes) the energy manager freezes and I can't do anything with it. It doesn't let me click any buttons or even close it with the little x. I can only close it from the little task bar icon.
There is another weird thing, but I don't know wheter it's related: Every time I open the energy manager I get a windows security message from Outlook where I have to fill out my username and password. This only happens if outlook isn't running... This security message dissappears within a few seconds without doing anything, and then for a second another outlook message is displayed that says something about accessing a server... I don't know wheter this is related to whether the energy manager doesn't work, but it seems kind of strange to me...
I tried reinstalling the Energy Manager (v. 1.0.1.49) and tried installing a newer one (v. 1.0.1.51) found here: [URL] ... But I keep having the same problem with the security message and the energy manager freezing.

I have my lenovo x230 laptop set to sleep when I close the lid. When I close the lid the "sleep" icon on the back of the screen lights up. But the batter will not last through the night on sleep mode. Within five hours or so, the battery is completely drained and I have to plug in and boot up the system. I've never seen such poor batter performance during sleep mode on any other laptop I've ever owned.
Another thread in this forum blames the USB port that allows you to charge mobile phones/etc. during low-power states and recommends disabling the "always power on" option fo this USB port in the Bios settings. At least my laptop still will not make it through the night in sleep mode.
At this point, it seems my ownly option is to use sleep mode only when the laptop is plugged in and hibernation mode when on batter power, which is disappointing. I've never had to worry about this in the past with other laptops. Perhaps/probably related is the fact that the lenovo ThinkVantage Power Manager (v. 7.16) hangs at the splash screen when I try to open it, so I've been trying to manage the power through the windows control panel power settings.

I have a new Flex 14. When I turn it on, I frequently get the following message "The battery is charged to a high capacity. Staying above 70% of capacity for a long period of time is adverse to the battery health. Enable 'Conservation Mode' in Settings." I can not find "Conservation Mode" in "Settings." ?

My Ideapad Z570 has been doing this for some time - the screen is black, lights are on, and won't wake up. I inevitably end up turning it off, so I lose my work.
I've delayed the sleep mode to reduce the number of instances...
