Lenovo U410 U/S Series :: Set Of USB Speakers On A Faulty USB Cable

Jun 4, 2014

I have a Lenovo U410 and a set of USB speakers on a faulty USB cable. I know, my fault: i connected the cable and the "+" and "-" connected for a short time. In my laptop i heard a little electrical explosion (no smell) and the laptop immediately powered off itself. At once i removed the USB cable and switched the laptop back on: no problems (!). But once booted, no USB port was working anymore. So my conclusion: i "fried" the system board somewhere.
 
The laptop is in its guarantee period, however i removed the hard drive and replaced it with an SSD.  I assume the guarantee is lost when i replaced the HDD. I just re-opened the casing but i am unable to find "fried" components or "burned" areas.
 
Questions:

1. can i investigate more, or find a solution myself?

2. i probably need a new system board. Where can i order a new system board?

Lenovo U/S Series :: U410 - SSD Not Seen In BIOS

Aug 4, 2014

I have had my laptop for over a year, and after upgrading various drivers in an attempt to fix a random power off issue, have now found that the laptop will BSOD everytime I wake it from sleep.
 
I am running Windows 8.1
 
The root cause seems to be that the SSD no longer appears in the BIOS, therefore I am unable to re-install the Intel Rapid Start software and enable RAID which seems to be a requirement.
 
My BIOS version is 65CN97WW dated 29/01/2013
 
This is what I see using DISKPART
 
DISKPART> list disk

Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
-------- ------------- ------- ------- --- ---
Disk 0 Online 931 GB 0 B * 
There is definitely an SSD in the laptop.
 
Can this be fixed with a BIOS update?

Lenovo U410 U/S Series :: Fails To Boot?

Oct 20, 2014

I got this idela pad U410 about a year ago and it was functioning nornally. A few months ago it started to boot up very slowly when power cycles. A hibernate was quick. Now it never comes up and keeps waiting at the Lenovo screen, no windows. I have seen posts that say it is a manufacturing defect. This one is out of warranty, so what is the solution. Do we have a solution at all? Why does Lenovo market such a bad product. BTW, the back cover is so flimsy that it gave up and had to replace it. Overall a case of bad engineering i guess.

Lenovo U/S Series :: U410 Stuck In Boot Loop

Sep 30, 2013

Recently I purchased a u410 and it has been running great for a few weeks but this morning instead of waking up from hibernation like normal it seems to be stuck in a loop of displaying the lenovo logo then a blank screen with a few seconds on each. This has been running continuously for hours while I try to run down battery in an attempt to reset. I have no bios access during the loop and it will not boot to any usb media. I am now wondering what I should do since it already has data migrated from my old machine and don't exactly want to start over. Is there anything that can be done other than returning it or sending it to lenovo support?

Lenovo U/S Series :: Using SSD And HDD Express Cache In IdeaPad U410

Nov 12, 2012

Lenovo U410 comes with 24 GB SSD and 500 GB HDD. Lenovo claims that they use some express cache to get faster speed during bootup and opening apps.
 
Lenovo recommends clean install of ideapad system while upgrading to windows 8.

link: 
 
My problem: As I am doing clean install , I want to delete LENOVO partition. The technical support guy also told me in phone that I can delete the partition and create my own.
 
But how will I use ssd and hdd? In my laptop, the windows OS was installed in 500 GB hdd and 24 GB ssd was used for some "express cache" .
 
But if I delete all the partition, how will I configure such that 24 gb ssd is used? Because lenovo does not provide any software named "express cache"  in their site. 
 
BUT they provide "Intel Rapid start, Intel rapid storage" 
 
So does these rapid start and storage use 24 GB ssd aand improve my boot time?

Lenovo U/S Series :: U410 - Change AHCI To RAID

May 10, 2014

Changing Chipset SATA Mode from AHCI to RAID?
 
I have already checked:
1) Changing regiser's key as above/;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesstorahci Start 3 -> 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesiaStorA Start 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesiaStorV Start 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesstorahci Error Control 3 -> 0
 
Unfortunately after rebooting in RAID mode, OS doesn't work.
 
2) Going step by step over the description made by microsoft support team: [URL] .....
 
Doesn't work.
 
My aim is to configure my SSD as a cache drive and as I read - without changing mode into RAID, it wouldn't work.
 
Maybe there is a possibility to set up SSD as cache in AHCI mode?

Mar 12, 2014

So I've had this laptop for a while and it has been working well for a few months but last time when I went to turn it on, all my files were deleted.

Lenovo U/S Series :: Can't Change Screen Brightness Anymore - U410

Jun 27, 2014

For some reason I can't change my screen brightness anymore. I've already tried a HD 4000 driver rollback to version 9.17.10.3223 and I also disabled "adaptive screen brightness" at the power management. For some reason I can change the brightness by using the "microsoft basic display adapter" driver instead of the HD 4000 but that isn't a real solution.

Lenovo U/S Series :: U410 Not Displaying On 2nd Monitor (Samsung S24D390HL)

Sep 8, 2014

I purchased an external monitor recently so I can extend my Lenovo U410 IdeaPad's display. The monitor connects to my laptop via an HDMI cable. The problem is, nothing from my laptop is displayed on the external monitor.
 
The external monitor is still left with a black screeen with either the HDMI and Analog symbol flickering back and forth on the top left corner, or a box that shows "Check Signal Cable" with red, green, and blue boxes below. 
 
On Control Panel>Appearance and Personalization>Display>Screen Resolution, I can see that the external monitor is detected: I have the external monitor as Display 2, and I have "Multiple displays:" set at "Extend these displays"I know that the monitor is not broken, because it works as an external monitor for my MAC (via HDMI cable as well) ....

Lenovo U/S Series :: IdeaPad U410 - Sound Device Can't Be Found Or Busy

Jun 20, 2013

I cannot get any audio from my IdeaPad.  When I randomly select a mp3 and try to play it with Windows Media Player, I immediately get a mesage that the sound device can't be found or is busy (or something to that effect).  I also don't hear sound from internet videos or system sounds such as the start up song.  The sound is not muted and volume is at 100%. 

I have uninstalled the device drivers for both the Connexant audio and microphone, reloaded them, and rebooted.  Same problem. 

My question, of course, is: restoring sound from my computer short of a system reset?

Lenovo U/S Series :: U410 Rapid Start - Smart Response Setup

Apr 5, 2014

I have a lenovo u410 with a 500gb hdd and a 24 gb cache. Now, I am experienced with hardware and software and have built/reinstalled a lot of computers before. This time it is a bit different. I did not get my windows 8 key with the computer only the OneKey recovery. I did do a backup with this program when the computer was new and I assume it is on the hdd.

So what I want to do is to replace the hdd with a new 2,5 in ssd and keep my windows 8 licence + all the lenovo goodness ( onekey feature, keyboard shortcuts etc..). What would be the best way of doing this? Can i transfer the backup I did to the new drive?

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 U/S Series :: IdeaPad U410 WiFi Frequently Disconnected From Home Wireless Connection Only

Sep 3, 2012

Basically, i recently purchased a Lenovo Ideapad U410 blue from Canada Computer & Electronic. Everything was good until recently, I am having trouble connect to my home network!! It was fine, but two days ago, it just frequently drop out from my home wifi( keep saying limited access, no internet connection, then identifying.....no network access) 
 
The problem is, all other devices i got are fine! My other laptop, my phone, and my ipad are all good to connect to my home wifi!!! And what's more confusing is that, my U410 is OK to connect to other network like the hotspot I set up from my iphone(just trying), my frds' wifi......And what's even more bothering, is that it happened two days ago, and yesterday the problem just magically disappeared!! I used it surfing internet for the whole last night with my home wifi and no problem with it.

However, i woke up this morning, problem popped up again,, can't connect to internet! I mean, the signal is super good!!!! no problem with detecting network, even connecting, it just wont identify or whatever. Drivers all up to date! I mean is a brand new computer....
 
SO is it my laptop's problem, or my network adapter's problem , or is it my router's problem!!!

Lenovo U/S Series :: Cannot Install WLAN Driver On U410 - Aborts On (Search Target Device In This Machine)

Oct 24, 2013

I have uninstalled Windows 8 and installed Windows 7 64bit Pro on my new Lenovo Ideapad u410. I managed to get all the drivers working... EXCEPT ONE: The WLAN.
 
Now here's what I did and what happens every time I try to install the WLAN driver:

I have downloaded the driver "WiFi Link Driver (Intel, CyberTan, Liteon) for Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)" from the page [URL] ... multiple times and tried installing it multiple times. The installation process works until the status "Search the target device in this machine" shows up. As soon as this status shows up, the installation exits without an error message or anything else. How to get it working. I can't even use this machine without WLAN.
 
By the way:
- LAN works fine
- It's not a hardware issue as the WiFi worked fine on the preinstalled Win8
- The WiFi won't even show up under Windows
- I have not installed "Intel WiMax Driver for Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)" driver as I am told that this is not used.
- Of course I am running the .exe as Administrator
- I tried installing Win7 on UEFI before.

Lenovo U530 U/S Series :: Touch (1920x1080) HDMI To DVI Cable Not Working?

Aug 15, 2014

I just got this U530 and wanted to use a dual monitor setup with a monitor that only supports DVI inputs (Samsung SyncMaster BX2335). I bought a cable for the purpose: an HDMI to DVI-D cable. I cannot seem to get the laptop to recognize that there is a monitor attached, however. 
 
Am I going to have to use a port replicator instead or use some sort of USB 3 to DVI setup? I have no other video output options built into this computer.

Lenovo G500 B / G Series :: Speakers Do Not Connect At All

Sep 29, 2014

I own a Lenovo G500s notebook, OS is Windows 8.1 and I have been experiencing Bluetooth issues ever since I updated to 8.1. I have some Bose bluetooth speakers I'd like to connect, but everytime I do so something goes wrong:the connection takes extremely longthe pc settings tell me there is a driver issue and the speakers do not connect at all my browser (google chrome) crashes/freezes and only unfreezes when I turn off Bluetoothafter a few minutes, the sound coming from the speakers is 'chopped up' like a bad phone connectionI've searched everywhere for a solution, but have not had any success so far. The device I believe causing the problem is Qualcomm Atheros AR3012 Bluetooth 4.0 + HS, for which I think I don't have a proper driver installed, but the system itself says it's the most recent one when I let it search for updates automatically. I can't find a more recent one myself as well.

Lenovo ThinkPad W Series :: W520 / No Sound Via Speakers Just One Click

Feb 4, 2009

I've got W520 with Windows 7 + all the latest drivers.
 
About a week ago I run into the following problem:

1) The onboard speakers don't play any sounds. Instead they produce a single click when music playback starts. And that's it.

2) Music plays fine via the headphones. So the clicking sound occurs with the onboard speakers only.
 
I've got all the latest drivers installed. I tried to reinstall the Conexant and nVidia driver but it didn't work.

Lenovo Y510P P/Y/Z Series :: Speakers Seem To Crackle And Pop Whenever Play Music Or Games

Mar 14, 2014

My computer (the Lenovo Y510P) started acting up the first day I bought it. It runs smoothly and everything, but the speakers seem to crackle and pop whenever I play music or games (even at a low volume). I've been seeing that many Lenovo Y510P users have been having this same issue and can assume that the problem is a hardware issue because:
 
1) Installing different versions of sound drivers AND even downloading the recommended sound drivers from Lenovo DOES NOT WORK.
2) Changing the power options DOES NOT WORK.
3) Plugged in headphones and even bluetooth can hear the static.
 
I'm thinking about returning this laptop since this is the 3rd day of having it. If there's no fix for this defect, I'm returning it before the 7th day.
