Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y580 Can't Connect To WiFi - No Internet

Jan 1, 2015

[URL] .... Here's what it looks like.

Yesterday everything was working fine, I turned off the laptop, went out, turned it on in the morning and bam, no internet. I reinstalled drivers, then reinstalled the system and nothing changed. It certainly isn't router's fault, since other devices can connect to the Wi-Fi

I solved it, somehow wireless network card got turned off and I just figured out Fn+F5 prompts a window where I could turn it back on.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Unable To Enable WiFi Using Function Keys - Y580

Oct 2, 2012

I have a problem, normally I press Fn and F5 to bring up the window to enable/disable Wireless Lan and Bluetooth. But it's suddenly stopped working and I cannot switch on my Wireless Lan.
 
This is on IdeaPad Y580 running Windows 7.
 
1. When I press Fn F5 no window opens.
 
2. When I press Fn F6 my track pad is enabled/disabled as normal, although I do not see the notification on screen.
 
3. When I press the Fn and volume or brightness controls, they work perfectly, but again I do not notification on screen, the bars showing level of volume or brightness.
 
4. Also the One Touch Recovery and One Key Theater buttons are not working. But the audio Mute button is working.
 
5. I have uninstalled the Lenovo Energy Management software and reinstalled it but no difference.
 
6. I have checked the BIOS and Wireless Lan is enabled.
 
7. I also saw that in Task Manager I cannot see utility.exe running.

A few seconds later a yellow colored triangle with exclamation mark appeared on the network icon showing no internet and limited internet. 
 
After turning the wifi off and back on the internet connects and works for few hours. After few hours, it lost internet connectivity again with the same above symptoms. I have this laptop now for 3 days and in past 3 days I had this problem at least 25 times.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Z580 WiFi Not Working - Could Not Connect To Network

Oct 3, 2013

My new Lenovo Z580 runs windows 8 64bit, core i3 3rd gen, 4gb RAM.

The problem is, since day 1,every few minutes the internet stops working. It shows as connected, the router is working, other connected devices run as intended and everything's fine. But internet doesn't work on my laptop. It says "Could not connect to the network". I have tried doing the "keep wifi on during sleep" etc. but nothing works. It just stops working after a while even though I am using the laptop, it just suddenly stops. It even shows as connected, and packets are being received but internet or any application over the internet will not work untill I disconnect and reconnect.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: IdeaPad Y510 - Limited Internet Connection WiFi

Mar 11, 2014

I have an Ideapad Y510 that has Vista and I'm having a problem connecting to the internet. I have other computers running in the house (this one I'm now typing on) so my internet is working correctly just not on my laptop. The laptop was working and connecting but something happened and now it says that I have limited access to the internet.

I read that it may not be getting an IP address assigned to it. I called my internet provider and they ran through their troubleshooting steps but figured it was in the computer. I don't know if the driver has been corrupted. I got the software CD that came with it and tried to load it again but it didn't work (not sure if I did it correctly).

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: WiFi Won't Connect After Wake-Up From Sleep On X230

Sep 10, 2012

Brand new X230 here, with the Lenovo wifi.  It seems like when I first got it that it would reconnect to wifi after waking, but now, after having done all my software installation, system updates, bios update, etc. - at some point it stopped doing this.  After waking I've tried turning wifi on and off, disabling and re-enabling the adapter, releasing and renewing the ip (it won't renew).  Basically, after coming out of sleep it seems like the adapter just won't "wake up" fully and get a new ip address.  All Windows and systems updates have been performed.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X1 Carbon - Connect Automatically Settings For WiFi Do Not Appear

May 14, 2010

(There is another thread on this, but it relates to Windows 8.  I am running Win 7 Pro 64 bit.)
 
I have a Thinkpad X1 Carbon type 3443-CTO.  The Wi-Fi adapter -- never the stablest thing on earth -- is getting flakier and flakier.  I am constantly having to reset or disable/re-enable it.  The "connect automatically" settings for some of my existing Wi-Fi routers do not appear, so that I have to connect manually every time.

Lenovo B / G Series :: G580 Won't Connect Over WiFi To Netgear WNDR4300 Router

May 2, 2014

I usually have my G580 laptop hardwired to my router, so I wasn't checking wireless connectivity on a regular basis.  But it won't connect anymore (it used to work). 
 
Everything else I own workes fine over wi-fi on my Netgear router (Android tablet and smartphone, HP Windows Vista laptop, etc.).
 
I took my G580 laptop to McDonald's this morning and it connects to their wi-fi easily.

Acer :: Aspire 5515 WiFi Will Not Connect To Any Internet Service

Apr 10, 2009

I recently purchased an Acer Aspire 5515 Laptop. Has a built in Wireless card. It detects the hotspots with no problem. It connects to the available networks with no problem. But it will not connect to any internet service. Strange, but that is also what trouble shooter says. Connects to network, but not to internet, thus browser cannot resolve to any URL.

I even disabled firewall to see if it would help, but it will not.

Even has issues trying to network at home using ethernet cards. Detects, but will not connect.

Dell Inspiron 1764 :: Wireless Internet - WiFi Connect / Disconnect

Dec 27, 2014

I have a Dell Inspiron 1764 about a month ago it started having internet problems. I have ruled out the problems being related to the actual internet service. I have excellent wifi signal and yet my laptop constantly connects and disconnects. The length of time varies. Some days I get to be on the net while others I dont at all. I have run diagnostics, downloaded darn near every update imaginable.

Lenovo B / G Series :: G570 - Internet Connection Gets Yellow Exclamation Mark On WiFi Icon

Jul 26, 2012

I received my G570, and have had internet issues since.  It can connect to my WiFi network, however after using the internet for a few minutes, it consistently gets the yellow "!" over the wifi icon in the task bar and says no internet connection and I loose my connection.   I know it is an issue with THIS laptop since my old and decrepit HP laptop which sits next to it works perfectly fine using the same network, as well as my smartphone and room mate's devices.
 
I have downloaded the Lenovo update software and attempted to use it. I get a message saying something along the lines of no available packages, assuming that means everything is up to date in terms of drivers.
 
I have done some research with the terms "lenovo, g570, wifi, internet, problems, connection" and yield many pages, however none have seem to provide a solution that works for me.

Apple :: MBP Wifi - Connect And Browse For A Couple Minutes - Sporadically, The Internet Will Just Stop Working

Feb 27, 2010

I recently went on a plane trip back home and I am having major issues with wifi connection in my family's house.

They have AT&T router/modem (combo?) and no one else in the house has any issues connecting with it.

What happens is I can connect and browse for a couple minutes or so, but sporadically, the internet will just stop working (not the wifi, it still shows my connection exists). I just won't be able to browse or make use of the internet at all!

I wonder if I might have banged it up or something on the plane ride? Since other laptops in the household are not having wifi issues, I am lead to believe it is just me.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T440 - Cannot Connect To Internet Via LAN Cable

Oct 15, 2014

I have recieved at work a lenovo t440 notebook, everything worked fine, untill one day I noticed that I cannot conect to the internet via lan cable. I plug in the cable and it is not detected. I checked the cable to another notebook and it was working. I have a Intel Ethernet Connection I218-LM controller, I have re-installed both network drivers from lenovo and intel websites and nothing works. I've tried as well to get automatically from windows update, no result. Went to bios cheked if the lan connection is enabled, everything was in place. Is there anything I missed? I noticed a weird behaviour, if I connect through wireless network, after sometime the lan connection is established and I can use it, but without wireless connection it doesn't work.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y580 Black Bars On Screen?

Jul 25, 2013

I purchased a Y580 a while back, and I am not getting black bars on the monitor (shown below). At first it seemed to be there randomly. But now it is on constantly. Opening or closing the screen at different angles does not change it. If I connect an external monitor, it has no issues. I can also see the black bar when windows is booting up as well. And it shows when I am in BIOS.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y580 Very Hot To Touch And Black Flashing

Jan 1, 2015

First - temp issues: The bottom of my Y580 has been getting extrememly hot and my temp monitoring program says "GPU temp limit reached".

By hot, I mean if it comes into contact with your skin, it will give a light burn causing a red burn mark. This only occurs when I run something on my 660m like a game or other programs that make use of it. After it gets like this everything begins to freeze up perodicly and FPS drops to un usable levels.
 
I know the heat is to be expected with performance demanding applications, but this seems abnormally hot. I've opened the case and cleaned the fans and vents.
 
The fan doesn't seem to kick up very high like it does on Dust Extraction and I can't find anything to control fan speeds. I've also noticed that the AC power brick gets hot enough to melt thin plastic, like a grocery bag.
 
While the temps aren't a huge concern, the performance impact/FPS drops is. What can I do about this temperatures other than put a "caution contents may be hot" sticker on my laptop?
 
Second - black flash. Occasionally (once and hour) during a game or program running on my 660m the screen will have an all black flash for 0.5 second.
 
If I tab out and have a window running over a program running on the 660m the screen will begin to flicker all black for that window only. Like task manager over a 3d game. Drivers and everything are up to date and I've done clean installs.

Lenovo Y580 P/Y/Z Series :: GTX 660M No Longer Detected?

Feb 19, 2014

I've been using my Y580 for a little more than a year now and I absolutely loved it. Recently though, my graphics card has completely dissappeared. This happened after playing an hour or so of Titanfall (which ran really well) and attempting to update my nvidia drivers. I was not able to update the installation using both Geforce Experience and manually. While downloading manually, I noticed that their website was not able to detect my graphics card. I then checked the device manager and all I could see was the Intel card. Later on, the Nvidia control panel was also unable to detect the card. 
 
I decided to uninstall all my drivers and start again with the one on the Lenovo driver page. I was able to successfully download the driver and it made the 660 appear in the device manager. This did not solve my troubles because when I tried to play a game, the 660 dissapeared again. I then looked through the BIOS and I was also unable to find the card. Frustrated, I did a system restore to before I first downloaded the driver. Once again, the 660M briefly appeared again but dissapeared when I tried to game or update it.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y580 - How To Get 2560x1440 Resolution Over HDMI

May 24, 2014

Computer: Lenovo Y580
External Monitor: ASUS PB278q
Intel Adapter: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
Driver Version: 8.17.12.9555
 
I am trying to get 2560x1440 graphics to be broadcast to my external monitor over HDMI
 
When I try to create a custom resolution in the Graphics Control Panel one of three things happens.

1. I get a message saying that the resolution I am trying to create isn't possible

2. I create the custom resolution, however when I try to adjust it in the Screen Resolution menu Windows tells me that it can't broadcast the resolution.

3. The resolution broadcasts, but it is terrible quality, and looks like it is vibrating.
 
*Note: I had this setup previously, but I had to reinstall Windows recently, downgrading from Windows 8 to Windows 7, and now I can't get it to work.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: IdeaPad Y580 - PowerDVD 10 Update Won't Install

Apr 25, 2013

I was trying to watch a DVD on my laptop and kept receiving an error from PowerDVD 10, saying that it was an invalid media type. After looking online, I noticed that some people said that the update might fix this. So, I downloaded the update and ran the installer. It required that I remove the current installed version of PowerDVD in order to install the patch. After the installer wiped that from my computer and began to install the patch, I received a message stating that "This software can only be installed on a Lenovo system." This was a patch file that the program sent me to, called "PowerDVD_v5630_RiTA10(Lenovo)(PDVDServDelayStartup)_DVD130802-14.exe"
 
After looking at this, I went through the knowledge base and found that there is another file linked for updating the PowerDvd software called "Lenovo.Lenovo_RiTA10_v_DVD110707-07.exe". When I tried to run this I get the following error:

"Cannot install the patch. Either this patch is not intended for your version of PowerDVD 10 or your system does not have a previous version of PowerDVD 10 installed. The patch installation will abort."
 
Of course I don't have any previous version of PowerDVD 10 installed, because the other patch uninstalled it in order to install. Now I am stuck without the DVD software in this terrible Windows 8 environment. I even tried VLC player and the video is cut off. This is very frustrating. This is on my IdeaPad Y580.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y580 - Disabling Nvidia Graphics In BIOS

Apr 30, 2013

I have an IdeaPad Y580, and I want to disable the Nvidia chip in the BIOS (I run Linux on it and don't use the chip.) I have the BIOS updated to the latest version from Lenovo's website. I couldn't seem to find anything in the BIOS settings that would allow me to just use the Intel HD 4000 graphics. There was an option to change from "Switchable" graphics to "UMA" graphics, but from my understanding the UMA option means using the CPU to process graphics instead of even the Intel integrated.
 
Is there any way to turn off the Nvidia chip, or am I stuck with it being on?

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y580 Keyboard Number Keys (1-4) Not Working

The numbers 1-4 on my Y580 keyboard don't work anymore. I only realized this recently as I had been using a separate USB keyboard for some time. I've tried all sorts of things - uninstalling and uninstalling the keyboard drivers in Device Manager, reinstalling the BIOS, unchecking all the boxes under the accessbility options, scanned the computer for malware...but nothing seems to work.
 
I've also installed Windows 8.1 and replaced my HDD with an SSD...

I pressed the power button and the light came up for about 5 seconds. Then it's gone. Nothing came up on the screen. Cpu fan did not work and keyboard light did not turn on. I tried holding the power button for seconds. I tried turning on with ac adaptor only. I tried taking the RAM out and then turned it on. Nothing works...

I am a Thai student studying in Okinawa, Japan. So now I am just so nervous because I wont have a computer to work on.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y580 Touchpad Two Finger Tap For Right Click Not Working

Jan 24, 2013

I bought my Y580 about a month ago and it has been great. The only problems I've been having with it is with the touchpad. About a week ago the synaptics software on here started to shutdown at random and things like two finger scrolling and swiping from the sides would all stop working. I searched around and downloaded updated software both from synaptic's website and from lenovo driver support. The newest ones from lenovo are the only ones that don't quit at random but now the only thing that doesn't like to work still is the two finger tap to right click. Sometimes it'll work for the first ten min when I first turn the laptop on but then it'll quit. Two finger click sometimes works for right click but not always and two finger tap for right click never works any more.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y580 IdeaPad - Video Driver Crashes

Oct 27, 2013

Lenovo IdeaPad Y580.

My specifications:
Intel Core i7 -3630QM 2.4 GHz
Windows 8 x64
8 GB RAM
Intel HD Graphics 4000 (integrated)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660m - not overclocked, (current driver: 327.23)

So the problem is that every time I try to play a 3D-dense game, after around 5 minutes of playing, the game freezes, then the screen goes black and the only thing I can do is to close it (though the problem appears to vary depending on game I'm playing). After ~3 seconds I was forced to close it, the message appears: "Display driver has stopped working and has successfully recovered" + something about NVidia Kernel Driver.

The interesting thing is that a game still "runs" despite showing the blackscreen (e.g. I can hear sounds of scrolling through game menu or other in-game noises/music). Mybe it has something to do with DirectX?

Like I said, the problem may vary depending on game, in most cases I have to do the things I wrote above, but here are the exceptions:

Skyrim: the least problematic - after the blackscreen I can Alt-TAB and return to the normal game (though the game tends to have a bit too rough camera moving after that)
Mass Effect 3: the most problematic - my computer auto-restarts just a moment after the game freezes, and I have to wait for some recovery or something.

I tried to solve that problem in such ways:
-clean install" of the most recent nVidia drivers (including BETA ones) and Intel drivers (for integrated GPU - just in case...)
-adding Tdr
-Delay registry key (one of the official solutions of that problem for Windows Vista/Seven users)
-lowering by 1 MHz core clock and memory clock (by MSI Afterburner) while playing games
-changing power management from Adaptive to Maximum Performance in nVidia control panel
-changing Main PhysX Processor from Auto to GTX 660M (by nVidia control panel)setting Power Throttle On by nVidia Inspector - Profile Settings
-running games in windowed mode

1, 4, and 5'th solution didn't work for me
3'rd one seems to be useful a bit
6'th - I believe it worked alot in prolonging time before crash
2'nd and 7'th - I'm still not sure about them

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: IdeaPad Y580 Shutdown And Fast Startup

Oct 27, 2013

I have a problem with shutting down my computer. While it seems like the system is closed and the screen goes black, the laptop is still working (power button still glows white and ventilators are on). The only way to shut it down completely is by holding the power button for 5 seconds.

My specs are: Intel Core i7-3630QM, 1TB HDD (560GB free), 16GB SSD, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA Geforce 660M

In last month my laptop used to be working for 4-5 days in a row, and only today did I notice that it won't shut down. I did some research and found out that the feature called "Fast Startup" is responsible for this - disabling it with Energy Management resolves the problem, and the laptop shuts down nicely, while re-enabling it makes the problem return.
I also found out that the Fast Startup feature (while enabled) creates(/modifies?) a file called "hiberfil.sys" which stores data about my current session and then shuts down the laptop completely.

So apparently there is something wrong about this file or the process of creation/modification of it (I'm not sure how it works) when I try to shut down my laptop. Or even it might be not about that file, but some 3-rd party process which blocks the creation/modification of it?

So my question is what can I do to solve this problem withoutdisabling the Fast Startup feature (I mean disabling it costs me like additional 40 second during turning my computer on, which is not much, but the pure fact that I have to disable this means I have some problems with my laptop).

PS. I ran the "powercfg.exe /hibernate off" command, restarted the laptop, then ran the "powercfg.exe /hibernate on" command, in hope of clean-creation of hiberfil.sys file, but it did not work (maybe there is a way of manually deleting it in order to automatical re-creation of the file during the next shut-down?).

The only thing on my mind now is leaving the laptop "shut down" for a night - maybe that file is so large it needs a lot of time to be created/modified, but that wouldn't explain why shutting down my laptop in the previous 7 months has been taking only like 5-7 second, not the whole night.
