Lenovo U/S Series :: IdeaPad U330p - Bluetooth Symbol Appears Every 20 Seconds

Jan 9, 2015

The day before yesterday I bought a new Lenovo IdeaPad U330p without operating system. I already installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, Microsoft Office 2013 and some drivers.

Yesterday everything worked properly, but since today there's always a bluetooth symbol appearing (approximately) every 20 sec) on the right side of the screen. It disappears immediately.

It is not possible to click on the symbol, it still disappears.
 
I already tried to uninstall the Bluetooth-driver, but it didn't work. After restart they are reinstalled automatically.

Lenovo U/S Series :: IdeaPad U330P And Sound Output Via HDMI?

Jul 12, 2014

My U330P is running Windows 7 with the latest drivers for both the Intel HD video module and the Realtek audio chip. I would like to connect my machine to a TV via HDMI and have it both act both as the display as well as the audio playback device (i.e. TV speakers should blare, not the ones in my Ideapad).
 
The thing is, I don't have said TV yet and if what I want to do is not possible, I will not bother buying it. I already did look around in Control Panel -> Sound -> Playback in order to find out whether there's an option to set the HDMI port as a playback device but found nothing. I also have the playback devices menu display disconnected and deactivated devices, but the only thing showing is the built-in stereo speakers. The listings in my device manager don't suggest something like a "digital sound whatnot" either.
 
So in general whether the audio signal can be rerouted to the HDMI output connector on a U330P.

Lenovo B / G Series :: G505s - Bluetooth Symbol Does Not Appear In Windows Taskbar

Mar 8, 2014

I am trying to connect my G505s to my Bose wireless speaker via Bluetooth.  I am not able to find anything relating to Bluetooth in my Device Manager and no Bluetooth drivers.  The Bluetooth symbol does not appear in my Windows Taskbar as I've seen it on other PCs.  I am running Windows 8.1. 
 
Things I have done so far:
 
-  I downloaded the Atheros,Broadcom driver for Windows 8.1 (8.0.1.306/12.0.0.7850) from the Lenovo website.  When I try to install it I am told that there are no valid drivers to be installed. 
 
-I followed the instructions from Windows which said to go into Settings > Change PC Settings > PC & Devices and ensure that Bluetooth is there.  Microsoft states that Bluetooth capable computers should have a Bluetooth settings page in here.  I don't have one.
 
- From some reading online I came across instructions to run services.msc and change the Bluetooth settings in there.  I followed these instructions and didn't have any luck.  All of the Bluetooth listings in here state that Bluetooth is running.
 
- Made sure that my computer setting to locate other devices is enabled.
 
I'm not really sure if this computer is Bluetooth ready or not.  If it isn't, I'm not sure why there are Bluetooth things "running" in services.msc though...

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Bluetooth Module Not Recognized By Y550 IdeaPad

Aug 9, 2009

I recent bought another y550 IdeaPad running Win7 because I like the one I already had that my wife uses.  The new y550 came with a Broadcom bluetooth module but the computer did not recognize the module during startup.  I thought the module may have been bad so I bought another one on eBay that had be tested by the seller.  I finally found the location of the module by taking the computer apart.  (It is located under the palm rest bezel.)  When I installed the device and put the computer back together (except the keyboard for access to the bluetooth module socket located under the keyboard), the computer hung up while it loaded but the bluetooth icon on the speaker panel continued to be lit. 

I unplugged the module to restart the computer and plugged the module back in.  Windows recognized the device and the drivers were loaded.  I put keyboard back in place and the device worked until I accessed the BIOS on the next start up.  After that, the module was never discovered by the computer regardless of deleting the drivers for the module and the energy management software, etc.
 
When I reboot the machine, the computer never seems to look at the bluetooth module because the bluetooth light never illuminates.  Also, the Fn+F5 short cut does not show a bluetooth device as being installed on the computer.  How to get the computer to recognize the bluetooth device since I think it might be a machine issue or BIOS issue rather than a windows 7 issue.

Lenovo U/S Series :: IdeaPad U410 - Bluetooth Freezes / Stopped Working After Few Minutes Of Use

Jul 31, 2012

I have had my Ideapad U410 for about 18 months now.
 
Recently my bluetooth mouse has stopped working after a few minutes of use. If I switch the mouse off and then on again it works again. I assumed that it was a problem with the mouse so I purchased a new one.
 
Guess what. The same problem.
 
Now with two blutooth mice displaying the same problem I am guessing that the trouble lies within the laptop, but what to do to identify whats going wrong.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: Spiral Symbol When Move Finger On Ultranav Touchpad?

Jun 24, 2014

I get this spiral symbol (see above image) in place of my mouse indicator when I move my fingers a certain way on the ultranav mousepad.
 
One way it occurs is if I move my finger from left to right or right to left across the bottom of the ultranav mousepad.
 
It interferes with me being able to move the mouse.  I suspect it is to prevent inadvertant movement of the mouse when your finger just brushed the ultranav mousepad.  I would like to turn it off if possible.

Lenovo Yoga Flex 14 :: Dropping Bluetooth Connection On IdeaPad I3 Laptop?

Jul 29, 2014

I've been trying to use a Logitech ultrathin touch bluetooth mouse and microsoft sculpt mobile bluetooth keyboard with my ideapad. I'm running Windows 8.1.  Both work fine for a while but then it appears they lose the bluetooth connection. This seems to often coincide with access network/internet over WiFi. The only solution is to call up the Bluetooth manage devices setting and let it reconnect.  If I leave the manage bluetooth device page open on a second screen it works, but clearly its not ideal! 
 
I was running the Lenovo driver for Bluetooth but I've tried removing it and using the Generic Windows driver.  So far though the same happened after a short while.

My fan is not working properly, in fact it only runs for few seconds at booting and then never again.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y510P / Goes On Battery By Itself After Seconds Playing

Apr 22, 2014

I just bought a new Y510p and added the second gpu the day after I received the package. Was working alright until I tried playing BF3 and Crysis 3. Every time I try to play, the laptop goes on battery by itself even when is plugged-in. Then after the game starts to lag, I need to quit the game and disconnect and re-connect the cable for it to recognize that is plugged-in. Don't know if it has something to do with my power plan (high performance, optimized battery health) or what.

Lenovo B / G Series :: G500s Touch Screen Random Inputs And Appears Contextual Menu Without Touching

Oct 29, 2014

I'm experiencing a problem with my G500s Touch, i am not touching the screen but it makes a lot of random inputs and appears contextual menu (like right click). It's really annoying, one of these days i'm going to throw this laptop through my apartment's window.
 
I already opened device manager and deleted all HID interfaces and reinstalled. Reinstalled Elan Drivers (i think maybe it is the problem, elan driver), i used windows restore 3 times and i still have the problem.

A Quick solution for this: Ctrl + Alt + Del, then Escape. And you will not have this problem in the next 1, 3, 5 or 10 minutes.

I just got couple of days old Lenovo IdeaPad z50-75, running on AMD FX-7500.First I jsut now noticed that my CPU runs at 1.07 Ghz, before it was always over 2 Ghz or so which was good ... but maybe I touched something some where in powr settings or something and now it stays on 1.07 even when cpu pretty much utilised. I have set power plan to high performance and also Energy manager is set to high performance mode and Conservation mode is on. why it doesn't clock itself up ? I feel that it is slower than before.

Lenovo U/S Series :: IdeaPad U310 RAM Upgrade

Mar 11, 2013

In a few days I'll get my IdeaPad U310, and since it comes with 4GB DDR RAM, I'd like to do a upgrade to 8 GB. I understand it only has one slot for RAM, so I'll buy one stick of course, but I don't know if it's the same size as used in a desktop PC, or is it some mini-sized RAM stick?

I also need to know the voltage of it, is it 1.5V or different?

Whenever I try to install the ELAN/Synaptics driver that I download from my laptop's support page I get an error saying: no Appropriate Driver to be installed.I'm on Windows 7 64bit...I've tried tons of drivers and I'm starting to get seriously annoyed. Non of them work all of them throw error messages and I'm getting more and more irritated with the obnoxious tap to click functionality. I don't even need the driver as I need the annoying tap to click disabled and maybe some kind of scrolling functionality would be nice if  it's possible.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: IdeaPad Y410p Not Starting Up

Apr 4, 2014

I recently recieved a  y410p ideapad I ordered off the lenova website. However, it won't start up. When I try, it brings me to a blue screen with a sad face that says I need to do an automatic repair. This flashes for about two seconds before disappearing and the screen becomes grey and says "lenovo" and "Starting Automatic Repair". From this the screen goes completly grey, and has nothing on it. The computer stays this way for hours and the fan will continue to run. I've tried the reset button on the side and resetting the laptop, but no matter what I do I end up back at that grey screen.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: IdeaPad Z50-70 Full HD Display

Jan 2, 2015

I purchased this Ideapad Z50-70 laptop two days back. It was DOS based so I had to install Windows 8.1 OS myself. After installing the OS, I installed all the drivers for this laptop. 
 
The display of the laptop is set to Full HD resolution i.e. 1920*1080. However, it doesn't look as sharp and crips as a normal HD display should be. The text and other things looks blurred. Also, the contrast of the screen doesn't seem well. Though the resolution is set to Full HD, I'm not feeling the quality smoothness and sharpness of the full HD display.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: USB Boot For IdeaPad Z500

Feb 11, 2014

I bought the Lenovo Ideapad Z500 and I'm trying to boot from a USB drive in order to install Windows on it. When I start the boot menu I only see the hard-drive, the DVD and the network. I tried to set both UEFI mode and Legacy mode in BIOS but the USB stick does not appear in the menu when I boot. I put the image of windows with Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool which formats the stick in NTFS mode.

I have the latest BIOS v1.21 and I tried with 2 different USB sticks: one 16GB USB 2.0 Corsair and with a 32GB USB 3.0 ADATA both on USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports on the notebook. I really haven't seen anything like this in my entire career. 
I even downloaded the file efiootBOOTX64.efi and replaced the one that Windows come with on the specified folder on the USB stick ....

Why is so difficult to choose the USB boot drive on the newer notebooks? How can I boot from USB?
