Lenovo ThinkPad W Series :: W540 - SATA Option (RAID Or AHCI) Gone After BIOS Update To 2.05

Feb 6, 2014

W540 20BG001CGE, had BIOS 1.05 and RAID 1 with two Samsung 840 EVO 1TB working fine under Windows 7 - x64. Did a (by lenovo update tool recommended) BIOS Update with the bios update manager to 2.05. Update ran fine. After Rebooting (and loading defaults, disabling Intel Rapid Start, Changing BIOS boot option to legacy first ... I recognized SATA Option (AHCI or RAID) in BIOS is gone. At boot Intel Matrix Storage Configuration doesnot appear anymore (where you can build RAID etc).
 
Boot then brings up message "missing operating system".
 
Downgrade to BIOS 1.05 impossible, due to ISO File on www.lenovo.com support is not system compatible, message "Lenovo Group Limited - Invalid system disk; Replace te disk, and then press any key")
(The link to the ISO File version 1.05 at the bottom of this page links a non bootable ISO image [URL]....)
Also the downgrade to BIOS version 1.08 found here [URL] .... does not work, CD also messages "Lenovo Group Limited - Invalid system disk - Replace ...").
 
Rewriting BIOS version 2.05 (GNET57WW) does not work (says "BIOS update not necessary").
 
Embedded Controller Version GMHT25WW (1.10) ME Firmware Version 9.0.22.1467. How to get back my RAID controller?

Lenovo ThinkPad W Series :: W540 UltraNav Trackpad - Stops Working After Newest BIOS Update

Dec 5, 2014

Both me and a friend of mine have Lenovo W540s.  Everything was working perfectly fine with all of our hardware, until today.  A BIOS update came out and installed correctly on both of our machines.  After this update both of our UltraNAV features on the trackpad are all dead.  After that first restart a message appeared "finding new hardware" and it found a generic mouse on the laptop.  Now when I try to re-install the UltraNav drivers, it says no hardware found.  I tried both the drivers on Lenovo.com and the manufacture's website all with no luck.
 
How to fix our UltraNav pads?

Lenovo ThinkPad W Series :: W500 - Cannot Install System Update

Jun 14, 2014

I have a thinkpad W500 and I'm reinstalling Windows 7 after years of running linux (I got tired of my video drivers being unsupported due to the age of the card).  However, when I attempt to install system update, I get the message "an error occured while gathering user information" and I cannot continue.  How can I get the switchable graphics, power, and keyboard drivers properly installed?  I don't really care about the rest of the software, it just that system update is the only way I know of to get it.

HP Pavilion Dv6-6154tx OS/Software :: Unable To Find Laptop Model In BIOS Update Page

Nov 13, 2014

I have a HP Pavilion dv6-6154tx laptop. My current version of BIOS installed is Hewlett-Packard F.1B, 05/10/11.I wanted to check if my BIOS is up to date, and if there was a newer version of BIOS available.
 
So I went to the HP Support page for laptops (URL...) and chose Pavilion Notebooks > Models dv4000 to dv6999 > dv6000 Entertainment Notebook PC series > Matching products outside the United States.
 
But alas, I could not find my laptop's model listed there. There's dv6150tx and then it jumps to dv6161ea, but no dv6154tx. Is there any other way I can update my laptop's BIOS?

Lenovo X220 Series ThinkPad :: Unable To Update BIOS

May 3, 2010

I am unable to update the BIOS on the Thinkpad listed below.I have tried to run Boot CD version of the update program (using CD player in dock) and it reports the error:"The system program file is not correct for this system"..The Windows based BIOS update program reports the error (in or out of dock):
 
"The process does not recognize this system. The process has been cancelled"..The Lenovo support page lists the new BIOS as being appropriate for this model. The BIOS reports the correct model and serial number.I desire to update the BIOS only as part of a software reload / refresh of the laptop. No actual problem with current BIOS to my knowledge.

I just updated my ThinkPad W520 using the System Update utility and after rebooting I realize that the battery icon is totally gray and shows the message "Battery not installed". Checking the installations log of System Update I see

And the Windows battery icon shows the info correctly. Is there any way to uninstall the updates?

Lenovo ThinkPad W Series :: W530 - 32 GB Of Memory Showing Only 16 GB After BIOS Update

Aug 23, 2014

I recently upgraded my ThinkPad W530 laptop BIOS from version 1.11 (which it shipped with) to the latest, version 2.59.
 
After doing so, my two 16 GB DIMMS are not only showing up as 8 GB each, thereby cutting my usable memory in half from 32 GB to 16 GB.
 
I ran through all the normal hardware checks to ensure that one of the DIMMS wasn't bad.  I tried each DIMM separately, tried in different slots, etc.  They both show up just fine and even pass the memory quick test in the BIOS.  Only, they are showing up as 8 GB DIMMs.
 
Is there a feature in the latest BIOS that would somehow limit this?  It was working fine at 32 GB before.
 
And, unfortunately, there is no reverting back to BIOS v.1.11 from anything after v.2.55.  It asked me if I was sure I wanted to proceed...this was the last type of problem I expected to see though.  (I also tried reverting back to previous versions of the BIOS that were allowed and it didn't work...

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?

Jun 30, 2009

After the latest set of updates, my touchpad took to displaying a stationary gray circle/swirl half the time when I tried to move the cursor. Seemed to happen less if I moved very slowly. I turned off scrolling (again), and it's mostly gone away. Is this related to scrolling?

Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga S Series :: Windows 8.1 Update - S440 Black Screen With Flickering Cursor

Oct 20, 2013

I have an S440. I've had it for one week. Two days ago I downloaded the Windows 8.1 update from the store. Since then, when I start up the computer, it doesn't even taken me to the 'sign in' screen. There's just a black screen. When I move the cursor, it briefly appears, flickers, then disappears again.

I understand this is an issue with the graphics drivers. So I ran Windows in safemode and disabled Intel R HD Graphics family and AMD Radeon HD  8600 series graphics drivers.

This, unfortunately, hasn't fixed the problem. It still boots to a black screen with an occasionally flickering cursor. I'm currently running in safemode.

Lenovo ThinkPad W Series :: W540 Won't Wake Up?

Sep 7, 2014

My new W540 has the latest bios & software updates.  It won't wake up from sleep...or rather the display won't come on.  When I push the power button (pulsing green), it goes to solid green and the fingerprint scanner light turns on, but no screen.  I scan my fingerprint and the scanner light turns off, but still no screen.  The only way to bring it back to life is a long press on the power button and a reboot.
 
Nothing plugged into any of the ports.  It does this regardless of whether it's plugged in or on battery.

I waited a long time for this new W540.  Downlkoad all the newest drivers and did all the updates and now this POS will not shut down.  Just goes to a black screen and have to hold the power button to force a shut down.

Lenovo W540 ThinkPad W Series :: Won't Wake Up From Sleep

Oct 31, 2014

When I put my laptop to sleep or it sits idle for a period of time and goes to sleep on it's own it stops recognizing the laptop monitor.  It will still display on other monitors connected through the docking station, but not the laptop.  It doesn't matter if I put it to sleep while on the dock or off the dock, it never recognizes the monitor.  
 
I have an Intel HD Grpahics 4600, and an NVIDIA Quadro K1100M video cards.  I've checked drivers for both and they both say they are up to date (9/29/14 for Intel, and 09/12/2014 for NVIDIA).  I have also updated every possible thing in the Lenovo System Update.
 
This problem occured after switching from windows 7 to windows 8.1.I have also lost the ability to control the brightness of my laptop monitor through my computer at any point in time.  The function keys don't work, and the setting is not shown on my power manager.

Lenovo ThinkPad W Series :: W540 Is Running Even Though Lid Is Closed

Sep 9, 2014

I got my w540 in about 2 weeks ago, and finally had a chance to start migrating everything to it last week.  I bring my laptop(s) to and from work everyday and right now I'm bringing a w520 and my new w540.  But everyday since I started bringing my w540 home with me when I get home the laptop is running when I take it out of my bag. 
 
So yesterday and this morning, I made 100% sure the laptop was in sleep mode and nothing was running before I put the laptop in the bag.  I get to work 15 minutes later and the laptop bag is about 150 degrees because the w540 is running even through the lid is closed.
