Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T430 2342CTO - SanDisk 16GB MSATA Target Read Test Fail

Feb 21, 2013

My Lenovo Solution Center (LSC) told me that my mSATA had a targetd read test fail.  I ran the test myself and it had the same issue.  Read some threads and tried the LSC test but only tested the SSD, and it passed all tests when ran this way.
 
Went to the IBM Electronic Service Call website and entered the details and they sent me an empty box to ship my laptop back for repair.  This seems overkill as I'm sure I could just pop in a new mSATA if that really was the problem, I don't want to give up my PC.
 
My T430 seems to run fine.  Wondering  if this is a software problem with LSC? Here is my error code:
 
LENOVO HARDWARE SCAN ERROR: RESULT CODE: WHD01V002-UI8VYJ DATE RUN: 1/26/2013 - 14:52 DEVICE: SANDISK-SANDISKSSDU10016GB-123659310730

(I don't get this error when I test the SSD by itself, only if SSD is tested right after the primary HD)
 
Is it worth sending back to Lenovo? Or does LSC have a glitch?

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T430 With Hard Drive Test By LSC Reported Targeted Read Test Failed

Mar 24, 2013

I bought the machine t430 thinkpad three months in the United States.

Currently the program to check the hard drive by LSC, the error message is: Targeted read test Failed

Diagnostics
SMART status test Passed
Targeted read test Failed
Random seek test Passed
Funnel seek test Passed
SMART short self-test Passed
SMART drive self-test Passed

The time machine is still time 8 months warranty. Hitachi Hard Drive 500 GB 7200 rpm / min

Is it due to the speed that new hard drive used for 3 months has been corrupted? In case of warranty, Lenovo does not provide a Windows license again, right?

The parameters of the hard drive
Hitachi-HITACHIHTS725050A7E630-TF1500Y9HK360B
Result code: WHD01V002-UI7X0H

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: Replacing MSATA SSD On T430 And Using For Dual Boot?

Jan 30, 2015

Replacing the stock mSATA SSD used for caching on the T430 with a large capacity SSD and placing an OS on it?
 
I've got a T430 with dual boot Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu.  I rarely use the Window partition, and I want leave it on the HD and migrate the Ubuntu partition over to a new mSATA SSD installed in slot currently used for caching for Windows.  I'm not concerned about Windows slowing down without the cache, but I do need a bootable windows partition.
 
I was about to go ahead and purchase a suitable mSATA SSD for this process when I read the hardware maintenance manual (pg 26) and mSATA update guide, which made me think that using the mSATA for anything but caching on the T430 might be problematic.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: HDD Failure Indicated On T430

Nov 26, 2012

I'm an owner of T430. I have toshiba hitachi 500gb and mini ssd 16gb running windows 7

Right now as I was working on an assignment i got a Microsoft Warning that my Hard drive was failing and that i have to run a back up (which I am doing right now)

Never had this problem and I've been using computer for awhile now and it's my first time seeing the warning window. Is there a way to see if this is a "real" problem? is it caused by viruses? and is it covered by my warranty?
 
I just ran lenovo solution center hard ware scan and passed everything except my mini ssd. with a code WHD00D001-UI4W8F.

So it seems like my hard drive is working fine, I had some problems with hardware scan failing my mini ssd before.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T430s MSATA SSD Clean Install

Feb 2, 2013

I'm  planning to add a mSATA SSD on a brand new T430s and use the 500gb HD for data. I ordered the R&R DVD's so that I don't even have to turn on the machine with the factory drive. I will remove it and install the mSATA to install OS etc.

Then reinstall the factory drive for reformat and add data. 

I'd rather do this than go through the whole first time setup with the factory drive just to create R&R disc.  It seems like a giant waste of time otherwise. 

I'm assuming the factory R&R discs will have the OS, drivers and Thinkpad utilities, which is all in need.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T430 Heating While In Sleeping?

Sep 17, 2013

bought my T430 this week.
 
after installing every software i will need on my notebook, i closed it (sleeping) and put it in my backpack. i only needed it again after 2 days. when i touched the bag it was already hot in the outside, i opened it, and my Lenovo was burning... i turned my computer on, the battery went down to 13% from 100% (2 days ago), as it was sleeping, i would have suggested it uses roughly 10-15% in 2 days. 
 
my questions are:
1. is the heating thing normal while sleeping? what could have caused the problem?
2. is it possible that some parts of the computer got damaged in such a hot atmosphere? (note that i kept it in a closed bag)
 
possible solution to question 1: i ran a command prompts, typed in the code that tells me what is allowed to wake my computer. noticed the external Logitec mouse and that Intel giganet networks were allowed, so i disabled both. it was probably the mouse as it was in the same bag, i guess it was moving in the bag and waking the computer?

Lenovo T430 T400 / T500 :: VT Options Not Available In BIOS

Aug 21, 2013

I have a T430 (2342-CTO) with an i7-3520M processor that I purchased at the beginning of 2013, and I loaded Virtualbox along with an appliance. When I ran the appliance, it gave me an error something to the effect that virtualization is unavailable on my machine.I went into the BIOS and found the settings for dynamic frequency and hyperthreading for the CPU, but I didn't see any entry for virtualization - where to look or what to do to enable this feature?

Lenovo T430 T400 / T500 :: Defrag HDD Between SSD Upgrading?

Jul 1, 2014

I am in the process of changing from a Crucial 256GB M4 SATA SSD to a Crucial 240GB M500 SSD. (I'm unable to upgrade the M4 firmware as laptop has UEFI BIOS). I have imaged the M4 to an HDD and find that the C: partition is 12% defragmented and the recovery partition Q: is 99% defragmented. I have a Lenovo T430s laptop running Windows 7 Professional. Should I defrag both partitions before installing the new SSD, or not bother? Also the Q partition had only 2GB free on the M4. Should I increase this when I change to the M500?

Lenovo T430 T400 / T500 :: Fn+F5 Combo Not Working?

Jan 10, 2013

I've been having this weird problem where my Fn+F5 combination (which toggles wireless on and off) has stopped working. I recently uninstalled, and then reinstalled, the lenovo driver for power management in windows 8 64, because I was having the same problem with putting the computer into sleep mode via Fn+F4 (I think by reinstalling the driver, it fixed the sleep mode problem but screwed up my "toggle wireless" ability via keyboard). If the power management driver was potentially the culprit for these two problems, and I reinstall it once again....

Lenovo T430 T400 / T500 :: Cannot Install Windows 8.1

Mar 20, 2013

I cannot install Windows 8.1. I have a T430. I go into the app store, start installing 8.1, it downloads, starts installing, and fails just after that point -- at 54% -- with the error message 0x80070002. That apparently means "File not found", but the Windows Update logs don't point to which file is not found, only giving:
 
WARNING: CSerializationHelper:: InitSerialize failed : 0x80070002
 
Going into Event Viewer gives the equally cryptic "English ESD Bundle Parent" as a possible cause for the failure.
 
SFC and chkdsk do not report anything out of the ordinary.

The sound quality is junk its as if i am listening to a really low quality audio file all the time this is through the headphone jack. I cant find any settings to fix this in the drivers and if i use a 3rd party eq such as in vlc player it just gets worse.
 
If I turn the master down to 10% and turn up 3rd party volume the signal distorts at 50% signal on the 3rd party hard core.

Lenovo T430 T400 / T500 :: Booting From USB Stick?

Oct 6, 2013

I have got a problem with my T430. I'm not able to boot from usb stick. I checked BIOS settings like 1000 times. Approx. 8mo ago I installed an Ubuntu form usb stick, and everything went well. But now, I guess after BIOS update (2.54 or 2.56) it doesn't work any longer. Today I saw on support webpage information about BIOS version 2.57. It has even written that it solves my problem: "Fix an issue where the system fail to boot from USB device by configuration.".

Closing then opening the lid to enter and return from hibernation sometimes restores sound. When this does not work restarting the machine usually restores sound. But the sound fails again after an indeterminate period.
 
Opening Ubuntu Linux in Virtualbox now displays the message "Some audio devices (PCM_in, PCM-mic) could not be opened".

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T430 Multiple Monitors With HD4000

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: Dual Monitors On T430 - No Signal

Dec 19, 2014

I know the Intel 4000 video can only handle dual video, but is there any way have both those streams on external monitors.  I have one that is extended and I would like to use another port to simply passthrough the interal display signal.  I am using the series 3 miniport plus which has two digital/dvi ports and a vga out.  In connecting to the second digital or the vga I get no signal.  Likewise with the side VGA on the PC.  I wouldn't even mind if the laptop display stayed lit as long as I could see it duplicated on a real monitor AND KEEP MY EXTENDED DESKTOP on another extenal monitor.
 
Seems like an obvious feature for a docking station.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T430 - Connecting To TV With VGA Or Display Port

Sep 17, 2013

I have a brand new  TV with USB, RS232, HDMI connections and of course with a screen in16:9 aspect ratio.  I want to use my existing RS232 cable to connect my T430 to the TV and display videos/movies that I want to view with others.  HOWEVER, the video output always gets a black bar top and bottom from the T430 when the TV is connected.  As a result, the image is stretched side-to-side both on the TV and on the T430 simultaneously showing the video.  It is ugly.  If I watch a movie in the very wide movie format 2.35:1, the bars are of course even larger and the movie is simply unwatchable it's so thin, top-to-bottom.

This is true regardless of the video source on the T430, either a movie via VLC or MediaPlayer off the hard drive, or streaming.

Two odd things:  it does not happen if I play a movie on the TV directly from a USB key - it has a USB port and that works just fine.  Also, if I simply unplug the RS232 from the TV then everything gets restored and the image on the T430 is perfect without any bars top and bottom. 

In summary, a 16:9 video source connected to a 16:9 TV via RS232 is given black bars top and bottom, and there is no control on the TV that can correct this (TV has two settings for RS232 display, 4:3 and 16:9.  4:3 actually displays the 16:9 ratio correctly, but with a large black frame around it.  And 16:9, the "auto" setting, gives the problem above).

So I have two questions:

1.  Is there a setting on the T430 that I can adjust to resolve this issue so that the black bars are suppressed for 16:9 video replay?

2.  If I switch to using the more expensive T430 minidisplay output (via an HDMI adapter) and connect that way, is it likely to fix this issue?  I don't want to go to the expense of the adapter and HDMI cable if it will give essentially the same result.

This only applies to videos.  That is, when I close down the video, the 16:9 desktop that shows on the TV is identical to that on the T430 and aspect ratio is not squished on either display.

So it's something to do with how the machine sends out the video streams via RS232 that's screwed up somehow.

Lenovo T430 T400 / T500 :: Fan Always Above 3800rpm (noisy) With Psu Connected

Aug 5, 2013

After using for about 12 months my Lenovo T430 2349-GRS without problems, the fan started working loudly all the time I have turned on the PC (all working day from Monday to Friday, T430 connected to the powersupply/charger).
 
I used the tool HWINFO64 to monitor the temperature and fan speed and realized that the motherboard temperature is working continuously all day above 65°C, and the fan speed is above 3800rpm, so it becomes very noisy.
 
Then I realized that if I unplug the power supply from the T430, in a few seconds the noise goes, and the computer become silent again.
 
Below is the image with HWINFO64 log results, in green you will see the T430 with the power supply UNPLUGGED, and in yellow when I connected the power supply.
 
In the last column of the image, you will see the fan speed in RPMs.

Is there any way to solve this? The fan is very noise above 3800rpm.

Lenovo T430 T400 / T500 :: Audio Over Display Port?

Feb 3, 2014

 I wanted to go today and get an adapter for my Lenovo Thinkpad T430 and first I thought I should do some research. This is how I found out that most of the Thinkpads do not send audio over DP, as I would have expected.
 
 I have the T430 (no discrete graphics, just the integrated one) and Mini Dock Series 3 with USB 3.0 (EU1) docking station. The laptop has mini-DP and the docking has a normal DP. The normal DP works fine  with my monitor, but it doesn't have any speakers in it , so can't test the audio part.
 
 I checked in Audio properties in Windows (7 x64) and I don't see the video card there, so I am assuming it is not supported. I don't want to buy adapters if the laptop is unable to send audio over a DP-> HDMI adapter.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T430 Slow To Shutdown (Takes 10minutes)

I have multiple T430's at my company that are slow to shutdown. It takes approximately 10 minutes to shutdown. It is also consistant, as soon as you login and shut down it will take that long. These are all installed using an image. Running windows 7 64 bit. Looked in event log, but no indication of abnormal errors. Using Kaspersky, Office 2010, Mozy. Checked some registery settings on microsofts website but that didn't fix the issue either. Not sure if this is a lenovo problem, or a windows problem or a conflict with other software.
