Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X100e Won't Turn On - Probably Dead

Jan 15, 2011

I've used my x100e today to take a measurement via LAN-port with a camera. I left the room to do some other staff and when I cam back the screen was filled with a horizontal black-darkgrey line pattern. I switched the x100e off by holding the power button for 4 seconds.

If i switch it on again, the power light shines, the fan is blowing and the hard disk is spinning, but the screen stays dark and there's no power beep or something like that. I also tried another power pack and with the battery inserted, it's always the same problem.
 
Seems like this problem already appeared. So what can I do? Approximately how much would the repair be?

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X100e Not Turning On After Overheated

Dec 5, 2010

I have a (long out-of-warranty) X100e of the dual-core model (notorious for running hot), which I have been running Linux on; the issue in question is hardware-related, though...

I've been trying to get an amd64 kernel going, with some issues. So I booted an amd64 kernel with init=/bin/sh, tried getting wireless going, and figured that I needed a different kernel, which I set about compiling...

The laptop reached 92 C and apparently tried to shutdown, but apparently shutdown does not work right if init is not running. So I came back to find it still running, at ~65 C, but with messages to the effect that it had reached 94 C on the screen. I put the fan on full bore, left it running for a while, then turned it off.

Now, here's the problem: When I tried to turn it on (battery in place, plugged in), the green light around the power button just started blinking slowly (about once per second), with the fan intermittently attempting to start (very short bits of an almost whining noise). There was no indication of any signal reaching the display/of the bios starting.

The power light stays green while it is plugged in. Same symptoms when the battery is removed and it is plugged in. With battery only, the power button blinks on when pressed, then turns off. The fan turns on briefly once. Then it turns off. The power light in front blinks on and then turns off

So far, I've tried several variants of "hold down the power button while unplugged with the battery removed." All of that has been to no effect. Looking through the HMM does not indicate anything as far as what might cause this.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X100e Wireless Connection Drops From Time To Time

Jul 27, 2010

I just got my new x100e laptop today, and i really like it. But, it has a problem. 
 
I am connected to my wireless network at home, and it works properly on my other computers at house. But on the x100e, the connection drops from time to time. Suddenly, the internet is gone, but ten seconds later, the network is back up again. 

It's not that big a problem, but it is frustrating to lose the internet from time to time. It happens from every 5 minutes to once 30 minutes.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X1 Carbon Doesn't Turn Off

Feb 9, 2015

I recently purchased a Lenovo X1 carbon, the weird thing is that the computer functions correctly when the power cord is plugged but when the power cord is unplugged the computer DOES NOT turn off no matter what you do. It restarts all the time. If you plug the power cord you can turn off your computer, but when you unplug it it starts working immediately?

In any case pushed the reset button on the back of the laptop but it didn't worked.

Lenovo ThinkPad W Series :: W530 With 64 Bit Windows 7 - Cannot Turn Off Display Scaling

Aug 31, 2008

I use a high resolution monitor; therefore, I use display scaling. But for many programs I prefer to turn it off since the display quality is better. For 32-bit programs there is no problem with this: open program properties, then,  Compatibility => Disable display scaling on high DPI settings. However, when I try to do this for a 64-bit program, I find that the corresponding check box is disabled.

Lenovo ThinkPad W Series :: Turn Off Caps Lock Onscreen Display

Dec 16, 2011

I am quite bugged by the Caps Lock onscreen display, since I cannot find a way to only turn off the capslock display without turning off all displays.

This display drops my FPS from about 70 to 40 when I'm playing video games which is bugging me a lot. But I would like to keep my other displays like soundlevel and screen brightness.

And yes, I know that it is possible to keep the capslock display for only 3 seconds when turning it on too, but I want it to be not displayed at all. I have a green light on my keyboard which is good for me.

So is it possible to completely turn off the capslock display without turning off the other displays?

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X201 Unable To Get Integrated Camera To Turn On From Skype

Oct 9, 2014

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad x201 laptop and I cannot get the integrated camera to turn on independent from Skype. It definitely works, I have used it several times with Skype, but I can't figure out how to turn it on outside of Skype.  I have tried the Fn+Esc and the Fn+F6 things, and quite frankly I'm not even sure if it applies to x201 laptops, but its definitely not working for mine. My laptop is refurbished and i just got it recently.

Lenovo X230 Series ThinkPad :: Windows 8 Airplane Mode Grayed / Can't Turn Off / Can't Connect

Dec 28, 2012

My three week old X230 lost the ability to connect to my wifi router. I can pull up the airplane mode toggle with Fn+F5, but there is no response. I have done a factory reset, installed all Lenovo and Windows updates, uninstalled/reinstalled the intel wifi drivers. The lenovo utilities tells me the radio isn't turned on, but I can't figure out how to turn it on other than the usual ways, but they don't work. All is well in the hardware manager. I have reset the bios to default settings. I updated the bios  to 2.06 when I first got the machine, and it ran fine. I can connect via a network cable.

Lenovo 11e E/Edge :: ThinkPad E520 - Auto Lock Mode / How To Turn It Off

Oct 9, 2011

Although great when you're on walkabout with your laptop, when I'm at home, laptop plugged in, I don't want my laptop to keep reverting to a login screen every few minutes.
 
I'm on a Thinkpad E520 running Windows 64 bit Professional.     Here's what I tried so far without success:
 
1)  Control Panel --> Power Options --> I set everything to "max performance" and disabled display sleep-mode timers.
 
2) Control Panel --> Lenovo - Camera-enhanced security --> I turned off camera recognition features and related timers.
 
3) Control Pannel --> Lenovo Power Manager -->  I turned off all timers.
 
Turning off options in the above control panel areas does not seem to affect the auto-protect feature.    This auto lock down feature is driving me nuts at home, the only consolation being that the fingerprint scanner makes it a little easier to get back in once the laptop goes down.    It's like some terrible screen saver you hate that can't be turned off.
 
How is this auto lockdown feature turned off?   Ideally there should be a big button available in the taskbar which you can push: on - off.   That way you can easily turn timer suites on and off with a single action.
 
But as of yet, I can't find anything in the control panel or taskbar that turns off this auto lock down feature.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: IdeaPad Y510p Won't Turn On

Mar 15, 2014

I bought a y510p ideapad from newegg a couple days ago and recently got it. i've been trying to set it up and all that, trying to get rid of the programs that came preloaded with the laptop because I wouldn't think i'd need them. I then shut it, put it down and opened it again and now it won't turn on. It seems like both the power indicator and the battery indicator light are both on, as well as the power button light, but the monitor itself is blank and i can't hear the computer being on. I've tried holding down the power button and resetting it, as well as removing the battery and using only the AC to see if it would turn on but to no avail. I'm worried i might have deleted something important, but I was mostly deleting programs related to shoddy media players and other services of the like. It's pretty upsetting I just got this laptop and it's already died on me!

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y40 - Need To Press The Power Button Twice To Turn On

Jan 18, 2015

I bought my Lenovo Y40 on the Lenovo Web site a couple months ago and recently, to turn on, I have to press the power button twice. When I press just once, the Lenovo`s logo is displayed on the screen, but after 2 seconds everything turns off. On the second trying, finally the laptop turns on and the windows is started.

In addition, rarely the laptop stucks on the lenovo`s logo screen, being necessary to hold on the power to reset it.

Lenovo G500s B / G Series :: Won't Power On Although Lights Occasionally Turn On?

May 2, 2014

I've have had a Lenovo g500s running windows 8.1 for almost a year and never had an major issue. But recently I have found that it will not turn on. I have found that by taking out and putting the battery back in will rarely result in the battery light blinking in red. If i try to turn it on at this point it will turn for a few second "prepare for automatic repairs" and then in a few seconds turn back off its original turned off state. I have tried "Flee-Power" while calling technical support and it made a small noise and then issued a burning smell. It's 1 year warranty is still valid.

Lenovo B / G Series :: G510 - Synaptic Touchpad / Turn Of Palmcheck?

Aug 28, 2014

I have a recently gotten my Lenovo g510, with a synaptics touchpad. My problem is that when I write, I can't move my pointer at the same time. It's like when I type my touchpad gets disabled, and when I stop the typing it enables again. I've seen some places that it's just to turn of/on palmcheck? But I can't find it in my settings. It looks like my menu is more up to date than the others, and therefore they have more detailed menus, but mine is pretty simple.  

I will add a picture of my menu, when I go to my mouse settings, and then the settings for the synaptics.

This is the picture most of the people refere to, but I don't have that menu ...
