Lenovo S410P U/S Series :: RAM Expansion / Switch Support?
May 20, 2014Thinking of buying a S410P i7 - but the whole series only offers 4GB RAM in one slot - so does the S410P support more RAM, if I switch it to 8GB for example?

View 1 RepliesI've installed win7 64bit on my Ideapad S410p. The problem is 2 USB3.0 ports can't be used, only 1 USB2.0 that can be used. The driver was installed and nothing wrong. In order to use USB3.0, I need to plug in the device and then restart my laptop. I must do that every time plug to USB3.0.

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy laptop's touch screen function stopped working just a while ago. When I shut down my laptop, tere's this windows update that lasted for more or less an hour. After that, the touch screen just stopped working. Note that there hasn't been any program installation prior to the antivirus uninstallation - all programs and files contained in the laptop is as it was the moment I bought it. *Laptop's running Windows 8 Single Language

I have this Lenovo Y500 with Nvidia GT 750M, and there's a sticker on it that says "Ultrabay".
1- Can I get another GFX and insert it instead of the DVD Rom ? FOR SURE ?Â
2- Should this additional GFX be another 750M , or can it be a more recent model ?Â
3- Is it guaranteed that SLI will work under Windows 8.1 ?Â
4- Will there be a significant improvement in performance after adding another GFX ? Are there any tests and validated benchmarks ?Â
5- Where can I get such a good, compatible additional GFX that will surely work with my Y500 laptop ?Â
I have a G500 with a 4gb of ram and I want to install the maximum that this laptop can support.
After searching on the Net I saw here:Â
[URL]
saying: Â Â Up to 8GB PC3-12800 DDR3 SDRAM 1600 MHz
Â
On  the other hand here:Â
[URL]
says:Â
DDR3 16 GB 1.600 Mhz [2 SODIMM (1x 2 GB / 2x 2 GB / 1x 4 GB / 1x 2 GB + 1x 4 GB / 2x 4 GB / 1x 8 GB / 2x 8 GB)
Â
meaning that you can put 2 * 8 GB = 16GB maximum.
One month ago I bought a Lenovo B5400 MB825GE with Windows 8.1 and I'm quite happy with it. The only problem I have got is, that the notebook won't change the audio output - automatically and most of the time even manually -Â from the speakers to the headphone, when plugged in.
Â
I can "change" the output in the Windows "Sound" options but the problem here is, that it won't really work. I have got two devices in here, the first is the "Speaker/Headphone" which only represents the speaker. The second is the "Realtek HD Audio 2nd output" which means to be for the headphone. I have changed them to "default device" and to "default communication device" but the output won't change.
Â
E.g.: Somehow (I'm really not sure how) I managed to change the audio output to the headphone. If I plug it out now, the audio output won't change to the speakers even if I change it in the Windows "Sound" option.
Bought a unit with this problem: As soon as I unplug the AC Cord from the laptop, it power off without notice and can't power up the laptop. It seems like the battery is not giving power .When I plug back in the AC, I can press the power button.
Â
One strange thing is that the battery is 100%, state : good. Tried the reset battery so now 3 cycle counts. The thing is that if I unplug the AC cord only from the power outlet to the ac adaptor then the power is still up, the brightness goes down a bit and then power off without notice.
Â
Tried:
Â
- the battery pack switch
- removed battery backup
- removed and reset the battery pack
Â
I'm out of options and I would be glad if I can find what cause that "unswitchable thing".
Just bought the M5400 and plan to switch to a smaller SSD.
Checking up on the existing 500 GB drive from WD, I see that there are 5 partitions on it.
What really bothers me is all the wasted space each partition seems to have.Â
WINRE_DRV - 1000MB unused 675MB
SYSTEM_DRV - 260MB unused 200MB
Other - 128MB no unused
C:Windows...well here its obviously not an issue
Lenovo_Recovery - 17GB unused 8,5GB
there is almost 10GB of waste when I'm planing on switching to a 250GB.
Can I make theme smaller with Minitool Partition Wizard before I try cloning to SSD?
How do I switch between internal and external microphone? I have Z500 with one connector for headphones and microphone; when I connect an external microphone there, it's ignored and recording is done automatically from the internal microphone.

After repair and return from warranty service, the Optimus switch on the right side of the notebook blocked or broken. I don't know. The computer used both graphics cards, but after installing the latest drivers works only integrated graphics. It seems that the Optimus switched, but I do not know how to switch it back when it is blocked. I tried install older driver and driver from recoverydisk for both GPU
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have just bought the G500 and I'm getting really annoyed by the keyboard. It has "great" multimedia keys as the main keys instead of usual F1-F12 keys. To access their functionality you must press Fn+appropriate key. The problem has been described here many times. But no solution works for G500.
I have tried: enter BIOS (no such option for keyboard)install Lenovo Slim USB Keyboard application (runs, but the option selected have no effect)install Lenovo Ultraslim Plus Wireless Keyboard & Mouse Driver application (do not run at all - just brings me to the desktop and do nothing). I'm not able to use the computer since I use a lot of application depending on the functional keys and if there is no solution I will have to buy another computer...
I am using Lenovo G5070 and I installed the Graphic Drivers for Win7 but the main screen is very dim and its using the Intel VGA instead of the AMD Radeon display. I downloaded the latest drivers from the support site. How can I switch the main screen to AMD Radeon VGA

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm using a seconday (spare) power adapter at home, for my y50.  The adapter is a 20 volt / 90 watt unit.  My primary adapter (in work) is the original adapter that came with the Y50, a 20 volt / 120 watt unit.  When using the laptop with the spare adapter (the 90 watt unit) I get a Lenovo Energy Manager message that pops up stating "Adapter has limited support" and "Performance will be affected if the power adapter cannot provide enough charge".  Presumably the laptop would need more than 90 watts to drive it if the CPU and /or video were working hard?  Do you see any issues using that adapter for day to day work, that is, not gaming?  Also, can the messge be disabled?
View 3 Replies View RelatedRecently I installed Windows 8.1 instead of Win7 on my IdeaPad S205. The problem is that the new Lenovo Energy Management tool doesn't let me swith the mode "Best Battery Heath". Everytime I click on it, it is automatically switched back on the "Maximum Battery Life" setting.
I also didn't find any tool where I can set my preferences (Best Battery Healt as standard). I have never had this problem on Windows 7.
I am using Ideapad Z510.I Have one Questions Regarding Conservation Mode..My Laptop Is always at home near Charging Plug. I charge it everyday & use it until 10% & then again charge it.So

just got a Z40-70 59436180 w/ nvidia geforce and installed it with windows 7 (32 bit),the nvidia vga driver setup told me that i have to install intel vga driver first before installing the nvidia one..
Â
the problem is i can't install the intel vga driver which i got from the lenovo download support page (the filename is "ivg200w732.exe"),when i run it, it says something like my computer doesn't have the minimum requirements for the driver to install..well it looks like it is the wrong driver, because when i explore the installation directory, i found a "x64"-named directory... and no "x86" or "32bit" or anything similar...
I can extend my W530 Win8.1 display to a Dell monitor via HDMI OR a HP monitor via VGA but not both simultaneously. If I plug in both monitors simultaneously, then the HP goes to sleep and the Dell reproduces the laptop display, with no option to extend.
Â
Is the w530 capable of extending to two monitors? If yes, do I need to get different cables or something?
I've run my Lenovo laptops (on a T510 now) for years using the middle button (the "scroll" button) as a plain old middle mouse button. The ultranav tool has always had an option to make it act like a MMB, with no fancy scroll function, etc.
Â
I just bought a new W540, and found, much to my distress, that such an option doesn't seem to exist on the W540! This is very important to me as I run Cygwin X server and rely on the middle mouse button to to paste in Xterms and other X apps. This is a real showstopper for me!
Â
I noticed a "three finger tap" function that's supposed to act as a MMB. But it doesn't seem to work in Cygwin X. Plus, it's not the best solution.
Â
Is there any way to do this with the new Ultranav drivers?Â
I have just bought a new W540 and it's almost impossible to work with common software packages that heavily use F1-F12. Every time I want to use the F1-F12 keys, I have to press also the Fn key. For me this is a problematic change from my previous T510 machine...
Â
Is there a way to swap the default behavior of the multimedia keys with the F1-F12 legacy keys?

i just purchased a 4810T and i am totally lost as to what i can actually do with it in regards to expansion. I'm not sure what exactly the terminology is (PCIe mini?) or what it means.
Could anybody give me a run down on what exactly i can add to my new timeline and what the slots actually are usable for? SSD? SSD + HDD? 3g modem? Does the sim card slot work?
Expansion slot... express card or pc... I am lame on this selection going forward.???
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a Studio XPS 1640 and put a expansion slot SSD in the expansion/express port (the part that holdes the remotes and such).
The problem is that I cannot remove the drive, the drive does not seem to spring out like in all the other computers I have used it in.
Does anyone know if it is possible to get access to the inside of that bay by removing the back? I took the metal back off but it was not directly visible ..
I’m hoping someone can help me as I’ve tried everything (which my knowledge is very limited) that I know what to do and I am unable to fix the problem I am having.
