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 X Series ThinkPad :: X201 - No OSD With Windows 7 Pro

Aug 1, 2011

I'm having a bit of a strange problem with my Thinkpad X201.
 
I've been running Windows 7 Pro on it for almost a year without any problems at all, but the SSD I installed developed a fault and had to be replaced. I have the original Win 7 Pro DVD and have installed it from scratch on the new SSD but a few problems have come up.
 
W7 couldn't find any drivers for the network card or wireless card, and without a network connection it couldn't go online to find any - luckily I was able to download a network card driver via my desktop pc which I then installed on the X201, and when the Windows updates were downloaded and installed, the wireless also started working too.
 
However, the on-screen displays for the volume, brightness and Caps Lock functions don't work and neither does the Fn-F5 for wireless and Bluetooth.
 
I spent all of yesterday evening hunting various forums and downloading numerous drivers etc, but I still can't get the OSD to work.
 
I've tried Lenovo's System Update which downloaded some things and have also tried using the Intel video drivers etc but am totally lost now as to what to do next.
 
I know that the OSDs do work as they were all working perfectly on the original W7 install, I just don't know what the problem is now with this clean install.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: Webcam Does Not Work On X201

Aug 20, 2014

I have tried in Windows 7 64bit and 8 64bit and have had no luck.
 
I have googled all over and found some hints on this forum to try installing Communication Manager, but it does not solve anything. It's like the camera is not seen.
 
I know the camera is not broken or disconnected because LINUX of all things can see it and use it.
 
On the X201 page there are no drivers for the camera at all, only the communication manager install. For Win 8 it is listed that the drivers are built into Windows 8, but as far as I can tell this is not the case, unless i am doing something wrong?
 
How to get working webcam with X201 at all in Windows?

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X201 Display Only Work At Certain Angle Or When Apply Slight Pressure On Certain Part Of Screen

Oct 27, 2014

Okay so i probaly have the weirdest problem ever with this laptop, so the issue started when the display stopped working properly and would only work at a certain angle or when u would apply slight pressure on a certain part of the screen, faulty monitor correct?wrong. When i uninstalled the intel gpu drivers and reverted back to the standard microsoft display adapter all these problems disappeared, screen would work at all angles and the display would have no issues, so that sums out the possibility of the monitor being faulty. The display starts having these issues everytime the intel display drivers are installed, it just blows my mind how this is even a thing. The screen flickers twice and turns off after windows is done booting when the intel drivers are installed and works perfectly without them.

HP Pavilion Dv6 OS/Software :: Notebook Won't Start (Normal Or Safe Mode) / Blue Screens

Jul 20, 2014

I have an HP Pavilion DV6 Notebook PC. The other day, it crashed and gave a blue screen error. Since then, it wont start. Ive tried starting it normally and in safe mode, neither work. This is the information given in the blue screen.:
 
win32k.sys
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
 
Technical Information:
 
***STOP: 0x00000050 (0xFFFFF901C066263C, 0X0000000000000000, 0xFFFFF9600006CCA3, 0x0000000000000005)
 
***      win32k.sys - Address FFFFF9600006CCA3 base at FFFFF96000000000, Datestamp 53c5df64
 
When it first crashed, I was playing a game, then the screen got all pixelated, then the blue screen. The computer has had overheating problems because the fan doesn't work 100%. It would shut off often from overheating, but I cleaned the vents out thoroughly, and it hasn't overheated since then. Since the computer wont start, I cant get to the crash dump files.

Acer Aspire One 725-0687 :: Can't Reset / Connect To WiFi / Start In Safe Mode

Oct 16, 2014

I purchased my daughter an Aspire One 725-0687 last Christmas.  She only used it a couple months and it has sat around for the past 5 months with no use at all.  She went to use it today and couldn't remember her password.  I tried several but continue to get the same response... "Your PC is offline.  Please sign in with the last password used on this PC".  For some reason, it's not connecting to wifi, I have removed the battery, I have attempted "safe mode" with Alt f5, f8 and even f10 and I get nothing except back to the sign in screen.  I tried ALT, CTRL, DLT and it does nothing.

Lenovo U/S Series :: S205 With Win 8.1 - Unable To Switch To Best Battery Heath Mode

Aug 3, 2014

Recently I installed Windows 8.1 instead of Win7 on my IdeaPad S205.  The problem is that the new Lenovo Energy Management tool doesn't let me swith the mode "Best Battery Heath". Everytime I click on it, it is automatically switched back on the "Maximum Battery Life" setting.

I also didn't find any tool where I can set my preferences (Best Battery Healt as standard). I have never had this problem on Windows 7.

Lenovo B / G Series :: G710 - Dolby Advanced Audio Unable To Start After Driver Update

Nov 1, 2014

I'd been having problems with the microphone not picking up voice well after upgrading to Windows 8.1. I went to Lenovo's website and downloaded IDT audio driver version 6.10.6490.0 for Windows 8.1 64bit. I ran the exectuable that was downloaded and now the Microphone works much better however now Dolby Advanced Audio is unable to start.  I get the following warning message everytime I start the laptop:
 
"Unable to start the Dolby Audio driver.  Please restart the computer or reinstall the driver if the problem persists." 
 
Restarting has not worked.  Running the driver executable again did not correct the issue. 
 
I found this solution on the support forums but it is unclear about what to uninstall in "Device Manager"[URL]..."Open Device Manager Uninstall the Audio Device Under Audio inputs and outputs"I have a Microphone, Speakers, and Stereo Mix listed under Audio Inputs and Outputs.

Lenovo S1 ThinkPad Yoga S Series :: Unable To Set Asset Tag Number In Bios 1.17

It was working great on a bunch of machines and then just stopped.  I realized the only difference was the bios version. On the ones that WORKED the bios is 1.16, the ones that DO NOT WORK are bios 1.17.
 
It doesn't say anything about the BIOS version being an issue, but it's realy annoying.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: Can't Start X1 From Fingerprint Reader

Mar 4, 2014

I am using an X1 Carbon (2014 Gen). Win 7 - 64 bit pre installed. Latest finger print manager pro software from lenovo 8.01.07. Tried everything and all possible combinations on the fingerprint software. But can't start my machine by swiping. The reader works perfect otherwise. I can pass bios log on to windows etc. But I still have to go through the power on button. I observe that in the new software (unlike in the earlier ones) there are no start on buttons to be clicked above the fingerprints. how to bypass pressing the power on button and start the machine directly by swiping the enrolled finger?

Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga S Series :: Power Button Is Not Responding In Sleep Mode

Jan 27, 2014

sometime in sleep mode my Yoga fall into irresponsive mode without any possibility to do anything. The power button is simply not working - pushing it for more than 30 second not change anything... Yoga red light is slowly blinking, the fn key is lighting, the fan is working, processor is heating and this follows to full drain battery.

Is any possibility to reset or reboot this "thermal brick" Yoga mode? Some computers and tablet have the hard reset button to work with such a situation - have Thinkpad Yoga similar solution (i.e. button combination invoking reset)?

Lenovo ThinkPad W Series :: W540 - Disable Middle Click Scroll Mode

I would like to use the trackpoint as a proper middle click instead of the (also useful) proprietary scroll mode. Basically same problem as discussed here: [URL] ......
 
However that article seems a little old. The synaptics control panel on the W540 seems to be markedly different and I cannot for the life of me find out where to disable that or set the middle  click to be a regular middle click.

Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga S Series :: Mouse Movement In Tablet Mode On Twist

Nov 16, 2012

I got a new Twist a couple of days ago. When in tablet mode, the mouse pointer will come up and start moving around the screen. I think it may be one of two things. 1. The ghost of my former laptop is haunting the Twist or 2. The keyboard/mouse is not disabled in tablet mode and the back of my screen is causing the movement when I am using it in tablet mode. Is there a setting to disable the keyboard/mouse in tablet mode or am I the only one having this problem.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X1 Carbon 2 / OneLink Dock - Unable To Use Ethernet Port

Feb 25, 2014

I have an issue with the OneLink dock and the ethernet port. Initially it was working but after a BIOS update it now always gives me "Unknowns USB device".
 
I just got my hands on a  i7 X1 Carbon 2 and a OneLink Pro dock and at first it all worked out as it should.
After a while the "System update" prompted me that there were updates I let it run, including an updateof BIOS from 1.06 to 1.07. Now I can no longer get it to work.
 
Whenever i plug it in i know get: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

The SuperSpeed link to the USB device keeps going to an error state Compliance. If the device is removable, remove the device and then disable/enable from device manager to recover.
 
I even did a full system restore and started from the beginning...
