Lenovo ThinkPad L R/SL :: R500 (2714-CTO) / Green Hotkeys Volume Bar Has Disappeared

Jun 2, 2008

I just noticed that the green hotkeys volume bar has disappeared from two R500’s (2714-CTO) that I own. Both are running Windows 7 professional. One is running Windows 7 Professional 32 bit, while The other is running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. The 64 bit machine has just been re-imaged from a set of original Lenovo supplied recovery DVD’s. The reload process installed Norton Internet Security (2009). After the re-load was complete, I installed Windows 7 SP1 from an original Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 DVD. Next, I manually installed the latest version of Update Retriever and System Update, turned on the antenna for the first time, and ran System Update to update all Lenovo drivers.
 
The other machine has been running Windows 7 professional 32 bit since being purchased in 2009. It has never been re-imaged, and the green volume bar was working until recently.
 
Both are currently running Hotkey Features Integration V3.89.0000, and Lenovo Power Management V1.67.04.05.  
 
which software, and which version of that software, is needed to get that functionality back.

Lenovo ThinkPad L R/SL :: R500 - Wireless Driver Not Found

Apr 2, 2014

I have recently run the Thinkpad Rescue and Recovery to freshen up my laptop and start with a new Windows XP.

I have also run through System Update and have got all the latest drivers and software updates.
 
Following to this, I noticed that my Wireless isn't wokring and was not even detected. For this, I have downloaded all of the following available:

Wireless LAN drivers for ThinkPad R500 - 2732 - 6EG - Windows XP Professional:
Intel Wireless LAN (bg, abg, abgn) for Windows XP - ThinkPad - v15.03.2000
ThinkPad 11b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter II for Windows XP - ThinkPad - v1.00.0029.8Wireless LAN ThinkPad (11bg, 11abg, 11abgn) for Windows XP, 2000 - ThinkPad - 7.6.1.260b 

But my Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility says that the "driver is not installed" even after rebooting.
 
I also check the Device Manager and noticed that under the Network Adapters the following only shows: 1394 Net AdapterBroadcam NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet  What could be the issue?
 
Also note that my wireless was working properly before going through the rescue and recovery.

Lenovo ThinkPad W Series :: W530 Ultrabay SSD Hot Swapping Option Has Disappeared After Windows 8.1 Update

Jan 8, 2013

I got a thinkpad w530 with Windowd 8 from the factory and its ultrabay worked really well. I use a few SSDs in the ultrabay and used to swap through them by just ejecting the one currently in use and plugging in another one. However, since Wondows 8.1 update I haven.t been able to do so, as I have to turn off the machine and change the drives.
 
I believe it has something to do with the OS set up. How to enable the hot swapping capability of the ultrabay?

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X220 - Green Light Around Power Button Flashes Every 3 - 4 Second

Jan 23, 2012

We bought around 40 of these X220 I5 before xmas and now more than 20 of them have failed. The company we bought them from tried everything but they ended up switching the mainboard on the first two that failed.

We were told it was a batch issue with the serial number R9-HNXXX and now all of those are changed into T420. But today we had the same problem with serial number R9-HXXXX that was bought two weeks earlier and with different config - I7 and SSD.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X220 Low Volume Audio

Mar 13, 2011

Even cranked all the way up, the sound on the x220 seems somewhere around half as loud as the x120e and even my wife's iPad blows it away.  It's a litle embarrassing.
 
I think it's the sound card/driver not the speakers as even with headphones plugged in it is very very soft at 100% volume.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: ThinkPad Volume Too Low Running Windows 7

Jun 5, 2013

I'm running Win 7, and I have the most up-to-date drivers from the Lenovo site. I have turned on loudness equalization, but it has not worked. This is an across-the-board problem. What I mean by that is, this problem persists regardless of the application, which I happen to be using. For instance, I use Media Player Classic: Home Cinema to watch movies. If the volume is at 0%, as I begin adjusting it upward, the volume level rises. However, as I reach about 70%, the volume stops increasing. There are audio adjustments w/in the application to boost the volume, but they serve to provide minimal effects. Overall, the volume is incredibly low. If you're sitting more than a few feet away from the laptop, it is inaudible.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: ThinkPad T510 Low Volume - Windows 7 64bit

Dec 28, 2013

I bought a T510 few days ago and was surprised to see this machine has ridiculously low volume. I have tried everything including the tweaks in Smart audio and removing audio limiter but still the volume is very low. On my dell 1525, I never go past 40% volume on my headphones but on T51o, I am using 90-100% volume to watch videos on live streaming websites.
 
Is there any solution to boost the volume on T510? My system is with windows 7 ultimate (64-bit) and audio device is Conexant 20585.

I've recently installed Windows 8 on an SL500 Lenovo ThinkPad.  One of the three messages in Action Center is a problem with the hotkey utility.  Lenovo's Support page recommended installing gevu65ww.exe.  The current version is 4.22.1000.  After this is installed, I click on "finish" and get the notice that "this program does not support this system.  The volume/mute buttons next to the keyboard have not worked since upgrading to Windows 8.  The Windows 8.1 has the same problem.

Lenovo X / Helix Tablet :: X200T Wireless Card Disappeared

Jun 12, 2011

A few days ago I lost the internet at home. I can connect fine with an ethernet cable, and another computer in the house runs fine off of wifi, so the only problem is my WIFI.
 
The WIFI or WLAN doesn't show up under Network adapters nor Other Devices in Device Manager. I would have tried a system restore but it happened before the last restore point
 
In the BIOS, it says the WLAN is switched on
 
The wireless switch on the side on the laptop is ON
 
Under Network and Sharing centre, I click Change Adapter Settings, and there is no Icon for the WLAN.  Only a LAN connection.
 
My WIFI card has completely disappeared.

HP Pavilion Dv6 Display :: Fn F2 - F3 Brightness Hotkeys Not Working After Formatting

Since my laptop (dv6 pavilion 7090el) had to be formatted to another copy of windows 7 (64bit), i can't manage to make hotkeys for brightness(f2-f3)/volume(f9-f10).
 
I tried to install/uninstall/install HP quick launch software (with all the system restarting combos possible) and the software doesn't really seem to be installed, since it only appears in the Control panel but not anywhere else.

The  speaker volume is low on my ThinkPad Edge E520.  I don't know if it is supposed to be louder or not.  I can't play something for a few people gathered around my laptop and expect them to hear.  I have used other laptops where the  volume can be raised to an obnoxious level which is not he case here.
 
The volume control works.  The  driver is Conexant  20671 Smart Audio HD and Windows says that  it is  current.  The OS is Win7 Pro.
