Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: WiFi Won't Connect After Wake-Up From Sleep On X230

Sep 10, 2012

Brand new X230 here, with the Lenovo wifi.  It seems like when I first got it that it would reconnect to wifi after waking, but now, after having done all my software installation, system updates, bios update, etc. - at some point it stopped doing this.  After waking I've tried turning wifi on and off, disabling and re-enabling the adapter, releasing and renewing the ip (it won't renew).  Basically, after coming out of sleep it seems like the adapter just won't "wake up" fully and get a new ip address.  All Windows and systems updates have been performed.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X230 Not Wake Up After Sleep Mode / Power Button Blink With No Response

Sep 5, 2012

I just got my x230 yesterday and I'm having some weird issues. 

(1) whenever my laptop goes to sleep mode. I can't seem to make it wake up. The power button would just slowly blink and would not respond to anything. I would have to hard reset my laptop for it to turn on. When I turn it back on, it would go the "Start windows normally" screen.

(2) whenever I close the lid, I'm guessing it tries to go to sleep mode, then if I wake it up, the system seem to reboot and would go to the "start windows normally" screen.

Both seems to all relates to sleep mode.

Lenovo X230 Series ThinkPad :: Battery Drains Quickly In Sleep Mode / Power Management Center Won't Run

Apr 15, 2009

I have my lenovo x230 laptop set to sleep when I close the lid. When I close the lid the "sleep" icon on the back of the screen lights up. But the batter will not last through the night on sleep mode. Within five hours or so, the battery is completely drained and I have to plug in and boot up the system. I've never seen such poor batter performance during sleep mode on any other laptop I've ever owned. 
 
Another thread in this forum blames the USB port that allows you to charge mobile phones/etc. during low-power states and recommends disabling the "always power on" option fo this USB port in the Bios settings. At least my laptop still will not make it through the night in sleep mode. 
 
At this point, it seems my ownly option is to use sleep mode only when the laptop is plugged in and hibernation mode when on batter power, which is disappointing. I've never had to worry about this in the past with other laptops. Perhaps/probably related is the fact that the lenovo ThinkVantage Power Manager (v. 7.16) hangs at the splash screen when I try to open it, so I've been trying to manage the power through the windows control panel power settings.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X230 Kingston RAM - Just Flash And BIOS Doesn't Boot After Pressing Power Button

Mar 3, 2014

I got a X230 with 4GB 1Rx8 PC3-12800S-11-12-B4 memory installed. I tried to upgrade it with two Kingston KVR1066D3S7/4G 1.5V memory sticks.
 
Unfortunately after installing new memory sticks (combinations don't matter) my laptop doesn't power on. After pressing the button there's just a flash and BIOS doesn't boot.
 
Everything is back to normal after restoring the previous RAM configuration.
 
Is there something wrong with my memory sticks or is it some kind of bior issue or maybe something else?

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X230 - Can't Boot From USB

Dec 3, 2014

I am trying to do a clean install on my good, old Thinkpad X230 which came with 64-bit Windows 7 Professional. For some reason, I was not able to create a bootable media from the recovery partition. In any case, I wanted to avoid the recovery partition as I want a basic, non-bloated, and minimal install.
 
Hence, I downloaded a copy of 64-bit Windows 7 Professional from Microsoft/ digital river website. After performing the checksum, I used Microsoft's USB DVD Download Tool to make a bootable USB on Kingston Flash Voyager (USB 2.0; 8 GB; FAT32). BTW, just for the heck of it, I verified  that it boots on my spare (and even older) Thinkpad X60 -- though it doesn't proceed when it sees that the X60 has a 32-bit microprocessor.
 
The relevant BIOS values and settings are as follows:
 
UEFI BIOS Version G2ET95WW (2.55)
UEFI BIOS Date 2013-July-09
UEFI Secure Boot Off

[URL] ....

I am posting this query after trying a number of solutions : rebooting from a USB flash drive on my Thinkpad X230. For some reason, nothing has worked and pressing F12 only shows the ATA HDD0 hard drive. Among other things, I have tried the following:
 
- Updated the Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller driver using Lenovo's Thinkvantage Tools. Now it has version 1.0.9.254. Someone suggested to have at least 1.4.0.225 which is apparently available at Intel's website. I always considered downloading the device drivers from Lenovo to be kosher. Shall I download it from Intel's website?
 
- Disabled USB 3.0 from BIOS which made all USB ports to act as USB 2.0. Neither option works.
- Tried booting from all three USB ports (of which one is USB 2.0 and two are USB 3.0). Zilch.
- Have yet to try "reset BIOS to default" suggestion as it looked a bit of a last resort.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X230 New Dual Monitor (no VGA)

Jul 19, 2014

I just purchased these 2 new dual monitors whose input connectors only come in HDMI, DisplayPort, and Mini DisplayPort.  I'm using a X230 with a Ultrabase 3 and I can't seem to get the 2nd monitor up and working... My first one is being used through the displayport direclty on my laptop (left side).
 
Is it not possible to get both monitors using a combination of these cables?  Would buying a converter (HDMI or displayport --> VGA) solve the problem?

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X230 Not Starting After Dc Jack Replacement

Feb 27, 2014

I replaced dc jack by following hardware repair manual, but the laptop is not starting(zero response on pressing power button) afterwards. When ac adapter is connected, the battery light blinks three time, showing connection made. My suspicion is damaged key board or could be mother board. Does standby battery has anything to do with starting up computer?

Any way to turn the laptop on without using the power key?

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X230 - Incompatible WiFi Card Despite Correct FRU

Dec 23, 2009

Trying to upgrade my wifi card.  The machine originally came with Centrino 2200 card.  I wanted to upgrade to Centrino 6205.  I thought that all I had to do was ensure that I get a card that has a known/authorized FRU, as per the X230 FRU List.  So I picked a card with FRU 60Y3253, but upon installing it, I get the all familiar "1802: Unauthorized Network Card" error.  Why?  What else am I missing?
 
Images of said card:

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X230 - Expected Temperature During Heavy CPU Load

Mar 14, 2013

after few seconds of heavy CPU usage on my x230 termal sensors show temperature slightly above 100 degrees celsius. I think it's way to high and probably should call the service to replace the fan, clean the heatsink etc, but wanted to make sure.For comparison, my previous machine (x201) did not ever go above 85 degrees during similar tasks.

Lenovo X230 X Series ThinkPad :: Battery Installed Is Not Supported And Will Not Charge?

Apr 15, 2014

I bought a genuine x220/x230 battery. After I power on the laptop, I got a message: the laptop doesn't support this battery. I tried to update the bios but nothing happend. The power manager said the battery voltage, performance, cycles, LGC battery. If I unplugged the laptop, it is works so the laptop can use the battery just not charge. If it was not a genuine battery I can't see these description or I should also?

Maybe this is not compatible with my x230 because it compatible just x220 and the seller didn't know 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?

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X230 - Automatically Optimize For Battery Lifespan Works?

Oct 30, 2013

My current x230 is set to "Automatically optimize for battery lifespan" under battery maintenance. I read that for this settings, it'll set your battery to hover around 80%~ base on Lenovo forum under w530 section. However, i'm always seeing my battery at 100% when AC is plugged in; Remaining capacity: 62.47 wh ; Full charge capacity: 62.47wh. Is it suppose to be lesser? I suppose it not healthy for the battery to be constantly kept at 100%. Any x230 users experiencing this too?
 
Would like my battery to last at least 2 years. usage :70% AC plugged in,30% on the go.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X230 - Gobi3000 Driver Fail / Cannot Start Code 10

Dec 5, 2012

Having a bit of an issue with the GOBI3000 unit in my x230.

Tried out W8.1 on the laptop and didn't quite like the setup, so this evening I did the factory reset back to W7.

I've done the factory reset (from USB drive) every few months to get a clean slate going and never had any issues.

Except for today that is.

After getting into the clean windows 7 and trying to pull down all the usuall windows updates and Lenovo updates, the only thing that failed is the GOBI3000 device.  Screenshot is included of what is happening.

Tried messing around with drivers as much as possible, uninstall everything, download the package from lenovo and tried again.  Just did a second factory restore in the freak case the first reset had something happen.

Like I mentioned, have never had an issue with the system update pulling the drivers down for this before.  

 Couldn't really find much about this device not being able to start, so I'm at a standstill.

Lenovo X230 X Series ThinkPad :: Connecting To Philips Miracast Enabled Smart TV

Jan 11, 2014

I have a new X230 which came with Intel WiDi installed.  I am trying to connect it to a Philips Smart TV which the folks at Philips tell me should work with WiDi.  The TV is Miracast enabled.
 
When I run the Intel WiDi software, the Philips TV appears as an available device. When I click to connect, the software asks for a PIN number and at the same time a PIN number appears on the TV screen.  I enter this in the box provided by the software. There is a pause of 15 - 45 seconds, and then there is a message on the TV : "Step 2/2.  Connected.  Starting playback." This is quickly replaced by a message on the TV "Failed to playback". The WiDi software remains at the "Connecting..." screen.
 
I feel I am pretty close to getting this to work, but not sure what to do to actually succeed. 
 
I have already updated the WiDi software and drivers to the latest available on the Lenovo site:
 
Intel WiDi - 4.2.19.0
Intel HD Graphics driver - 9.18.10.3359
Intel PROSet/Wireless software 16.1.3
 
Wayward
X230 (2325-77G) running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

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

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 X230 Series ThinkPad :: Bluetooth Does Not Work - Unable To Use Cell Phone As Personal Hotspot

Dec 30, 2012

I am trying to use the bluetooth in my X230 to pair my laptop with my cell phone. I want to be able to use my cell phone as a personal hotspot, in case I am in an area with no secure wi-fi. I would have thought that this would be standard feature in a laptop that is touted as a business device, but apparently this is not the case.
 
I installed both the bluetooth driver and the latest system update, [URL]..... but it is still not working for me. I am now able to connect my cell phone to my X230, but instead of enabling me to access the internet via Bluetooth, a dialogue box appears enabling me to play songs that are on my cell phone using the laptop speakers.the bluetooth driver did not come pre-installed on the x230, and I am disappointed that I am not able to use my cell phone as a personal hotspot for my x230.
