I have a question about a Second Hard Drive Bay Adapter for a R400 7439 i have looked all over and some say 9.5mm and some say 12mm so what part number or size to get!
View 4 RepliesI purchased R400 yesterday and downgraded to XP Pro using the CD coming with the laptop. After the conversion from Vista to XP, I cant see the wireless, bluetooth, finger print etc. In the device manager I can see only "1394 Net Adapter" and "Intel (R) 82567LF Gigabit Network Adapter". Nothing in yellow.
I downloaded the driver file 6hwc05ww and installed but still I can't see any wireless adapter! why it is not coming automatically like other drivers? How can I install it?
Lenovo R400
If starting I get this Error 0210: Stuck Key 3E
What key make this error?
If system is loading cursor don't working via touchpad.
If I press WIN key which open start menu, or a volume key, touchpad start working.
F4 key dont working.
I tried reset BIOS - problem continue. [URL] .....
I have the Modelle R400 running Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) on it.
If I run Lenovo Vintage Tools programm teh airbag/active protection icon is grey.
If I click on it it starts the installer and I can install it but after a reboot it shows me that it isn't installed/grey icon again.
My R400 laptop (7447-W14) suddenly freezes on boot: it displays the early logo ("thinkpad, to interrupt normal startup, press the blue Thinkvantage button"), and waits forever, neither the bios menu nor the operating system (windows and ubuntu in dual boot) appears.
I can shutdown by holding the power button more than 5s, but on reboot, the same freeze come back, whatever I do:
- holding the F1 key before and after powering on
- holding the "ThinkVantage" button
- doing this on battery, or with power supply (with or without battery)
- trying to boot on an external USB HD drive
It does not seem to be a CPU problem (nothing would be displayed), nor RAM or harddisk one (it is cheked later, at BIOS time).
In fact, I was wondering wether removing and putting back the small battery of the mainboard would solve this problem ... but this battery seems not to be eaysyly found. At least, it is not under the keyboard, where the RAM is.
of course, warranty has ended ... any way, before I throw this laptop to trash ?
I made sure the machine was not in sleep or hibernation mode, and the user states the machine was fine a few hours ago.
I removed the hard drive but that did not change the behavior...
I don't have a lot of money to replace the laptop that just completely died a month after the warranty expired. It is a Lenovo Thinkpad SL510, S/n xxxxxxx and the product ID is 28479XU. Purchased 3 years ago. I would like to know if I can take the hard drive out (which I was told by a knowledgeable computer person that it is OK with all the data on it) AND put it in my working Lenovo Thinkpad SL410, S/n xxxxxxx, Product ID 28427PU ?The SL510 is really dead. All efforts were tried to resusictate by same computer person.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've recently got an ultrabay adapter and wanted to know if I could run two separate OSs, one from each hard disc.
Effectively, I would like to have one version of windows on the internal HDD for general day to day stuff and one as a programming environment and be able to select which to boot from at start up.
I know I could just use a VM, but some of this stuff (Siemens PCS7) can put quite a strain on the system and I'd rather not have that overhead.
I recently bought a Thinkpad T540P laptop. But there is always some noise made by the hard drive. The noise makes me feel uncomfortable. It sounds like it has been used for a long time, but actually only two days.

The DVD drive it came with is garbage... and I usually burn on my desktop so I was wondering if there was a better use for the drive bay. Then again, im not sure its worth the hit on battery life when I can buy a 500gb.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have an AC adapter left over from my first generation X1 Carbon. It is 90W/20V. The adapter that came with the new machine is quite a bit smaller, and only 65W/20V. Can I use the 90 watt adapter with the new model X1, or will it damage it somehow? Dont want to ruin my brand new computer.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy laptop was able to access the internet via my wireless internet connection just fine until a few days ago when it completely stopped working. I can't even view the wireless adapter in my hardware profile anymore. I'm able to connect wired but not wirelessly. I've reinstalled access points, but it didn't work. Nothing has changed in my setup to cause this to stop working.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with my L530 and the WiFi Connection. When I start the computer and see the Login-Screen of Windows 8.1 the networkicon left to the betteryicon have a red cross. After I log into Windows 8.1, I have no wireless connection availible. In the devicemanager is no wirelesscard listet, also there are no other problems with other devices.
After restarting, power off/on, removing the battery and so on about 1.000.000 times the wireless card is pretty working to the next shut down. So my workaround was to use the standby mode instead shut down after I've finished working.
UNTIL yesterday! Now I can't enable the wireless card... This card is installled: ThinkPad Wireless LAN (11bgn, bg)
I've tried the following things:
- UEFI is on version 2.56
- loading UEFI defaults, save and reboot
- remove the battery and power plug -> push the power button for 10 sec
- disable hybrid shut down in windows
- booting with ubuntu 13.04 -> no wireless hardware available...
Nothings works...
I've got an old Thinkpad R61i with a Western Digital "Blue" 320gb drive installed in it running Vista Premium.
I bought the drive from Zipzoomfly and installed it into the Thinkpad in January in order to bring back some life to the computer. And it worked; it's fast and quiet.
A few weeks ago, I bought a refurb E6400 from the Dell outlet store. It came with a 160gb hard drive installed.
It's a nice drive. But as the days tick away, I've been thinking of pulling the 320 from the Thinkpad and installing it into the E6400.
I'm mean what the heck, I'll get twice the space, and it's a Western Digital. It's a win win.
New W540, bios 2.10, latest drivers installed, 20BH
My w540 is not registering my Samsung 840 Pro SSD in the 9.5mm ultrabay adapter.
Not showing in BIOS, and not showing in disk manager or in device manager anywhere. I just want to use it as a second drive.
Main drive is 7200 rpm - with a Win 7 corporate image on it.
Month ago x200 works well. I leave it on table for a mont and do not use it at all. But now, x200 turns on only with inserted AC adapter charger. It does not turn on with only inserted battery (without AC adapter charger), just nothing happend when I press power button.
But battery charges and program "Thinkpad Power Manager" detects battery and it's charge. Battery is ok (tested on another X200 and works well).
I just got a W540 running Windows 7 x64 at work. I have an ExpressCard ethernet adapter (A Belkin f5u250), and I'm having trouble getting it working.
I used this card on a W510 running Windows XP for years with no issues. I can still plug it into that laptop and have it work just fine. However, when I plug it into the W540, nothing happens. Windows does nothing. It doesn't act like it's trying to identify hardware, go find drivers, or anything. Nothing shows up or changes in the device manager, either.
I've tried doing the "add legacy hardware" thing in device manager, but I've had no luck with that, either. If I do an autodetect, it doesn't find anything, and if I manually browse to the driver, it then brings me to a list of devices, and the list is empty.
Is there something special I need to do to enable the expresscard slot, or enable plug and play for it, or something?
I have a 3444-CUU that I really love. When I first got it I realised the wireless adapter would just randomly stop working. I updated every possible driver and I'm still having the same issues. All I can do is reset the adapter to get it kicking again. I'm not sure if the wifi care is soldered or if it could be removed or replaced but I'm really leaning towards it being a hardware issue.
It'll either stop working could turkey, won't detect any wireless networks or it'll stop working and I can still view other wireless networks but I cannot connect to them. Resetting the adapter is the only option. As I'm writing this right now the wireless has gone out again. So I have to reset the adapter for 5-10 more minutes of internet just so that I can post this.
I got an Edge 13 with Windows Ultimate installed. I want to replace the existing disk with a SSD and I collect the windows key for the installation with jelly bean keyfinder.
The problem ist that windows does not recognize this key to activate windows. I also did not find the key on the notebook.
The key itself is valid because on the old disk Windows is activated....
i recently bought a macbook pro 13in. I bought this to replace my lenovo t400. On my lenovo i have the st9160411as hard drive which is a 7200rpm drive. Do you think i can just swap the drives between both laptops, the mac HD to the lenovo and the lenovo HD (st9160411as) to the MBP? I am not sure what the compatability is.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIn fact, my W500 is over 5 years old but I do not have any complaints on its performance except the WUXGA display is rather dim which makes it hardly useable on open-air. I do not recall that problem at purchase time. When googling around I see different reasons for a dim display
a) cabling - would not consider this beacuase the screen is not flickering and does not show any discrepancies - it's just dim
b) inverter - this is not a real inverter, is it?
c) display panel - it does not seem very difficult to replace
d) motherboard - I am unsure whether I would challenge a replacement
Is there a way to find out which way to start working around? I mean buying a panel if it comes out at the end that I had needed a new motherboard would rather make me blue.
Or should I accept the fact that time has gone and I have to look for an other computer because it does not worth bothering. What do you think?
I have an R52 Thinkpad running XP that was "virgin" (not connected to the web) until I did some updates to get a new optical mouse installed. Below are the updates:
UltraNav driver for Windows XP, 2000 - ThinkPad 2008-08-06
UltraNav Utility for Windows Vista, XP - ThinkPad 2008-08-06
UltraNav Wizard for Windows 2000/XP - ThinkPad R40, R50, R50p, R51, R52, R60, T30, T40, T40p, T41, T41p, T42, T42p, T43, T43p, T60, T60p, Z60m, Z60t, Z61m, Z61p, Z61t 2006-10-18
TrackPoint Accessibility driver for Windows 98/SE/Me/NT/2000/XP/XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 - ThinkPad 2006-02-06
Also a mouse driver from Microsoft for the Wireless Optical Mouse 3000: IP32Eng6.30.191.0.exe
The optical mouse still doesn't work, but I have a new problem: I can't remove the CD from my CD/DVD drive. I push the button - no light - no open - no nothing.
My sons laptop has died and needs returned for warranty work - likely a problem with the mother board. It was suggested that we backup files on the hard drive before sending. I pulled the hard drive and attached it to another computer via Serial ATA to USB cable. A portion of the hard drive can be accessed through Windows Explorer which shows 25GB of the 750GB hard drive and only shows an applications and a drivers folder. Word documents, data and pictures cannot be found.
I tried to take ownership of the hard drive thinking that this might make the data visible but it did not. I expect there is about 150GB of file storage (excluding programs) that we would like to back-up. Am concerned that the hard drive may have been damaged but the data that is accessible seems to be whole and intact.
how to set BIOS for SL400 booting from USB flash drive, I'd like to install Windows 7 installer from USB flash drive 4 GB.
View 6 Replies View Relatedi could hear something rattling inside but laptop was working fine so i just left it alone. But 2 days ago it seems that harddrive completely stopped working, windows is not booting up and in bios it says it didnt detect any harddrive. So i opened botom cover to see if maybe that rattling was some loose screw and that made harddrive not work and there was a loose screw and i screw it back in (it was just a screw on the bottom not the one that holds harddrive. But my harddrive seems to not work at all and making weird noises when i turn laptop on.
