Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: Reset To Original Factory Settings Option For X40

Mar 12, 2014

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X40 - 2371 that I would like to reset to its original Factory Settings. It does not have a CD-ROM drive so I can not use a Recovery CD. Its operating system is Windows XP Professional. I have tried to use the "Access IBM" and the "F11" buttons to see if I can find any Factory Restore option, but there is none.

Dell Inspiron E1505 :: Restore To Original Factory Settings

Jun 13, 2013

I have been looking all over the internet and on Dell for the past 2 hours with no luck.  I have a Dell Inspiron E1505.  I want to wipe everything off this laptop except what was on it when I purchased it.  I keep reading hit F12 or control F11 and then click Restore.  There is no Restore anywhere.  I have searched and searched and I can't find anything.  I have found that a lot of other people don't have that option either.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Cannot Recover To Factory Settings - Y400

Mar 24, 2014

I bought a y400 in feb 2013 and it worked perfectly. Then i faced some SSD issues and the system would hang and needed to force restart .I had to install Ubuntu to work.. I sent it back in feb'14 under warranty and they replaced motherboard ,SSD , HDD , re imaged ,etc . Now i got it back and everything seemed to be ok but was facing display driver issues (tried everything to fix this) and  ended up disabling my graphic card to make the system work seamlessly .
 
Having read on internet somewhere that windows 8.1 may fix the dispaly driver issue , I upgraded to 8.1 from the windows store . After downloading the update I had to restart to install windows 8.1 and it was stuck at 49 % at setting up on lenovo logo screen  for about 2 hrs and I had to force shutdown. 

After starting up again as expected it crashed. Now I cannot Safeboot nor can I use OKR .

After the booting up its landing lenovo logo screen for a while then jumping to select language screen ENGLISH US -> Advanced Options -> cannot find  startup settings (to safe boot)  any option i select for example system restore it then asks me for windows 8 setup or windows 8 OS  when i select any one of them it hangs (blue screen) 

Same happens when i use OKR .It loads the files and then boots to the same language screen . Since Recovery image is stored on separate drive all I need to do is format the C drive but how can I do it ?

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X230 Battery With 47% Of Its Original Full Charge Capacity

Mar 17, 2013

It's been about 5 months since I started to use my Thinkpad  X230.  Only three days ago it could work for 5-6 hours without charging.  I could charge it at home, bring it to school and use it without charging.  But suddenly the battery started to die in a short amount of time.  Then I explored the battery settings a little bit.  I found out it says "Battery Condition: poor" and "Your battery can 47% of its original full charge capacity."  
 
It has warranty until 2015. So can Lenovo send me a new battery if I want so? Or is it a problem that warranty doesn't cover?

Dell XPS M1330 :: Restore / Reset To Factory Settings?

Jan 31, 2015

i have a 2008 Dell XPS M1330 laptop that i wish to restore to factory settings.  i have saved/copied/transferred any/all files i wish to save.

i have searched (google, you tube, dell.com, forums, support) for the answer and all i find is suggested use of pressing F8 during start up.  when i choose 'repair my system" , windows just loads normally.

the only seemingly 'recovery' disk i can locate says: 

DRIVERS AND UTILITIES Already installed on your computer/For reinstalling Dell xps m1330 computer software. it also says: contents: device drivers/diagnostics and utilities.

i want to 'wipe the slate clean' and start the computer fresh now that i have a new xps8700. if i use this disk to which i refer, will it do what i am wanting?  the computer works fine, but i'm afraid of screwing something up trying to just clean it up and back to original condition.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X240 / Change A Password Option Is Blank Except For Cancel

Aug 8, 2013

We have new Thinkpad X240 laptops that don't have the ability to change the password using CTRL + ALT + DEL.    They are using Windows 8.1.   These laptops came with Windows 7 and we used the Lenovo media to install Windows 8.  The ability to change the password was present right after the Windows 8 install  but when we upgrade to Windows 8.1 from the Microsoft store we can no longer change the password.

Lenovo ThinkPad W Series :: W530 Will Not Reset Widows 8

Oct 21, 2013

Windows 8 came with this machine, and I have had performance issues for a month now. I have just soldered on till yesterday when I kept getting different blue screens and needing to restart...now it won't restart, and so I did the press enter to get to the troubleshooting area of the hard drive....selected the quick reset option, which failed, so I came back and selected the complete reset and it gets to about 65% and stops says there was an error and requiring a restart...this happened twice...now when it restart, it is trying to do a reset again...without me asking it to.

Is this normal? Normally I physically break a computer, and never get to the point where a reset is needed...so I am truly at a loss here.

It is a W530 and has 16GB of RAM. All I run/ran on it photoshop and Lightroom, Firefox, audacity, Roxio, Avast for virus protection, an online backup service, and a program called star stacker.

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?

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 X Series ThinkPad :: Adaptive Keyboard Settings Does Not Launch

Oct 10, 2014

I was able to launch the adaptive keyboard settings by pressing the 'wheel' button on the bar.
 
I updated the newest version of the keyboard settings (Hotkey Features Integration for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) - ThinkPad).
 
After installation. I could not use the functionality to switch through the different functions. I learned on this forum it had to do with the power management software. So I downloaded this.

De-installed the adaptive keyboard settings. Installed it again with latest version.

Now it works again, but now I can not launch the settings anymore. Not via the wheel button on the adaptive keyboard (most right button with the F1, F1 functions). Also not able to launch it directly from the control panel. Link is there, but there is no reaction.

So now I am not able to customize the settings anymore.

My even manager is reporting me this warrining: : The embedded controller (EC) returned data when none was requested. The BIOS might be trying to access the EC without synchronizing with the operating system. This data will be ignored. No further action is necessary; however, you should check with your computer manufacturer for an upgraded BIOS.
 
I do have set up supervisor password for BIOS, password on power on. When going in BIOS, I am not asked to put password in, which could be the issue.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X1 Carbon - Connect Automatically Settings For WiFi Do Not Appear

May 14, 2010

(There is another thread on this, but it relates to Windows 8.  I am running Win 7 Pro 64 bit.)
 
I have a Thinkpad X1 Carbon type 3443-CTO.  The Wi-Fi adapter -- never the stablest thing on earth -- is getting flakier and flakier.  I am constantly having to reset or disable/re-enable it.  The "connect automatically" settings for some of my existing Wi-Fi routers do not appear, so that I have to connect manually every time.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: Carbon X1 Adaptive Keyboard - Default Settings

Apr 5, 2014

Where would one look in the registry to change the default adaptive keyboard setting?
 
What I am trying to achieve is the following:
- Enable F keys as default setting
- Disable application switching of toolbar
 
We will need to do this on a large number of laptops, and it's not really viable to do it via the application (as it will be time consuming). I hope to deploy the settings as a batch file which imports a registry entry.

Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga S Series :: 20CD-0038GE - Mouse Cursor Gone / Even After Full Reset

Dec 16, 2013

I bought a "Thinkpad Yoga 20CD-0038GE" in December and everything worked perfectly until last week. Suddenly after boot up the mouse cursor disappeared when Windows showed up (no external mouse, I'm using trackpad/trackpoint). The mouse was completely gone, clicking also didn't work (the mouse cursor was not invisible or similar). Touching the display still works.
 
I then installed all available Windows and Lenovo updates (Solution Center), but the bug was still there. Strangely enough what seems to bring the mouse back sometimes (!) is to switch to flight mode and then restart the system. But when turning flight mode off and restarting the system, the mouse ist gone again...
 
I searched the forums but could only find tips with un- and reinstalling all kind of drivers, unfortunately no method worked for me. Today I made tabula rasa and restored Windows completely from scratch with the built-in recovery function. Gladly the mouse was back again and everything was fine at first sight. But as soon as I installed the obvious Windows Updates (dozens to be critical listed as it's normal for a recovered Windows installation) the bug was there again and my mouse was gone...

Lenovo ThinkPad W Series :: W530 UltraNav Settings Dialog For Touchpad And Stickpoint?

Aug 2, 2008

When I've got my ThinkPad w530, there was (as usually at every ThinkPad laptop) UltaNav enhanced setting dialog (if I remember correctly, these settings resided at the last tab of OS mouse settings dialog - Control Panel -> Mouse). I have spent a lot of time to configure touchpad according to my needs.
 
But than I've updated my Windows 7 x64, as Microsoft recommended, and installed some hardware drivers and user applications... And at some moment I've suddenly discovered, that the touchpad and the stickpoint do not work anymore the way I've configured them. Yes, they work, but in the most basic default mode.
 
Furthermore, when I tried to look at the configuration dialog I had used before to configure them, I found, that this settings dialog is totally gone.
 
Now my Windows Control Panel mouse setting menu looks as the following screenshot: [URL] ....
 
Is there any way to restore (re-activate) manually Lenovo UltraNav settings dialog for the touchpad and the stickpoint?
