Sony :: System Tray Icon Distorting Switching GPU- Z Series

Apr 17, 2010

if everyone else has this problem or there is something corrupt with my windows?

When I switch the graphics to Speed or back to Stamina my system tray icons get bigger and look distorted. The only way to get them back to normal is to go into the appearance settings and set the icons for another size, it will make them small again regardless of what size i make them.

I should add that playing with the captions dropdown item in Advanced personalization just distorts them to a horrible mess.

Lenovo P500 P/Y/Z Series :: Don't Get Icon In System Tray

May 5, 2014

I have a Lenovo Ideapad p500 Touch. I recently upgraded my router to an AC1900 Router, and with it i wanted to update the internal wifi on the Lenovo. I purchased an Intel 7260 AC Dual Band with Bluetooth seen HERE . Install was pretty straight forward, seeing how im a IT Tech. Where I had an issue is with the drivers and getting bluetooth properly set up.  The wifi part works without an issue. I can't seem to get bluetooth to work at all. When i go to device manager I see bluetooth but only if I select to view "hidden Devices". Im running Win 8.1 64x, Ive tried installing the drivers from intel, but it never seems to actually install the bluetooth driver. I don't get the icon in the system tray.

Dell :: Accidentally Disabled The Quickset Tray Icon

Feb 14, 2009

I just got my new Studio XPS 16, but accidentally disabled the quickset tray icon. I've checked registry and tried reinstalling quickset, but nothing i do can get it back. Is there any other way to do it without having to reinstall my whole computer? (as i've already installed several other programs, it'll be quite some effort).

Dell Latitude E7240 :: Bluetooth Tray Icon Removed When Adapter Turned Off

Feb 17, 2014

When one turns off the Bluetooth adapter from the tray icon, the tray icon disappears. In order to turn the BT adapter back on, it appears one must go to the Device Manager to re-enable the BT adapter. This is inconvenient and not awfully intuitive for a usual business end-user. In the past the BT icon in the tray would remain, but turn color to indicate it's off. And the end user could right-click it and turn it back on when needed.

Currently it appears, turning off the BT adapter, actually disables it and it "disappears". Is there a way to simply turn the adapter off and more importantly back on without having users get into the device manager from their standard user accounts?

E7240 with Dell 1601 WiFi/BT adapter in use on Win7/64 Ult.

Dell Inspiron 1545 :: Battery Icon No Longer Had Plug Icon On Top Showing It Was Charging

Jan 24, 2013

I was using my inspiron 1545 the other night and it was charging the battery, then i heard a pop from the left hand side of the keyboard. At this point i noticed that the battery icon no longer had the plug icon on top showing it was charging. I then looked at my power adapter and noticed the blue light was not on on the brick.

Finding this I unplugged the brick and then plugged it back in..POP from the laptop again....and the blue light on the brick went off again. This happens everytime.

So I am guessing there is something wrong in the laptop and the brick turns off maybe activating its short circuit mode protect. Obviously, this means I can not charge the battery.

If i remove the battery and try to run it on mains adapter it POPs as soon as you plug it in and the laptop won;t boot as it has no power...

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: New X1 Carbon Adaptive Keyboard Strip Not Switching

Mar 28, 2014

I have a X1 Carbon Touch (Machine Type 20A7).

It came with Windows 8.1 Pro but I flahsed my company image (Windows 7 x64 Enterprise) onto it.

Everything works fine and I installed all drivers but the adaptive keyboard strip stays at F1 F2 .. keys and does not change no matter what. Pressing the Fn key does not switch it. I installed the On screen display and have the Adaptive Keyboard show in Control Panel and Dynamic Mode is also on. 
 
The camera icon only flashes the screen once and does nothing. The Wifi icon does nothing and the Gear icon does nothing as well. Only the keyboard light icon and the regular F1 F2 keys work fine..
 
While starting up or before logging into Windows (at Windows lock screen) I'm able to switch the adaptive keyboard strip... But once I'm logged into Windows it suddenly stops working. if I lock the screen again I'm able to switch the adaptive keyboard strips again...  What's going on?

Sony :: VPC-Z1190X Crashing When Switching Graphics

Apr 4, 2010

Just got my new Z-series laptop last week and I discovered one bit of annoyance. I can crash the laptop consistently by simply using the "Dynamic Hybrid Graphics System" switch.

Here's what happens:
- Push the switch over to "Stamina" mode
- Reboot the system

- Push the switch over to "Speed" mode
- Screen flashes, goes black, then the system crashes instantly and powers off. Sometimes it reboots, but most of the time it simply shuts down .....

Lenovo B / G Series :: G570 - Internet Connection Gets Yellow Exclamation Mark On WiFi Icon

Jul 26, 2012

I received my G570, and have had internet issues since.  It can connect to my WiFi network, however after using the internet for a few minutes, it consistently gets the yellow "!" over the wifi icon in the task bar and says no internet connection and I loose my connection.   I know it is an issue with THIS laptop since my old and decrepit HP laptop which sits next to it works perfectly fine using the same network, as well as my smartphone and room mate's devices.
 
I have downloaded the Lenovo update software and attempted to use it. I get a message saying something along the lines of no available packages, assuming that means everything is up to date in terms of drivers.
 
I have done some research with the terms "lenovo, g570, wifi, internet, problems, connection" and yield many pages, however none have seem to provide a solution that works for me.

Sony :: Desktop Background Goes Black After Switching Between Stamina And Speed Modes

Mar 31, 2010

I have my destop wallpaper/background set to change every 30 minutes, pulling from the entire picture library (which is a few gigabytes). I have noticed that every now and then...say, maybe 10-20% of the time. The desktop background goes completely black after the switch. This happens whether the switch is set to Auto or I manually flip the switch (which makes sense, actually).

The only thing that restores the picture to view is logging off and back on. None of the following have any impact or cause the picture to display:Right-clicking on the desktop and selecting.....

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: After Latest Update Touchpad Display Grey Circle Icon On X201s

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?

HP/Compaq :: Hard To Open CD/DVD Tray

Feb 2, 2009

I just received an HP dv5t and I'm having a strange problem. The CD/DVD tray is really hard to get open... I have to press the button very hard, to the point the laptop is sliding to the left and the tray is moving inward. In fact, it really doesn't feel like a "button"... there's no detectable "give" to it.

Acer :: I Have Removed CD Tray And Now Laptop Will Not Work

Oct 4, 2008

My laptop fell off a table whilst the disk tray was open and jammed the disk tray shut.

It didn't damage the laptop at all, just made a whirring noise every time I turned it on and off because there was a CD still in there (been like that for a few months). However, today the tray opened a little and so I pulled it right out. I know enough about computers to know that I haven't damaged anything else, just removed the tray.

Now my laptop won't turn on, and even the charging light doesn't come on. A piece of plastic ribbon/connector that was attached to the tray is loose - could it be that?

Lenovo T520 T400 / T500 :: 2nd HD Hard Drive Caddy Tray For SSD?

Nov 22, 2013

i want to use the DVD tray to add a 2nd hard drive using one of the many 2nd HD Hard Drive Caddy Trays i see online, but i want to use a solid state drive in it.  Can this be done? From what i ascertain via product literature, it appears that any caddy tray i see online says "accepts 2.5' 12.7MM SATA HDD only" or some such."  While there are many SSD's that are 2.5 inch, I've only seen ones that are either 7mm or "7mm (with 9.5mm adapter)."  Is there a product (either a T520-compatible 9.5mm caddy tray or a 12.77mm SSD) that can make this work?

Lenovo X / Helix Tablet :: Spare Hard Disk Tray And Rubber Stops For X201

Aug 12, 2014

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X201. Due to the nature of my work I am frequently required to boot up from a variety of operating systems. Recently, to protect integrity of the OSes, I moved out Ubuntu onto a spare HDD so now I have two hard disks - one that boots into Windows 7 and another that boots into Ubuntu. The problem is that if I connect the Ubuntu hard disk via USB for bootup, it is death slow and I have had instances where the hard disk developed bad sectors because the USB cable came loose and disconnected the drive. The only other option I am using currently is to manually swap the internal HDDs every time I need to change OSes. I was wondering if I can purchase a spare hard disk tray with its rubber mounts so that all I need to do is unscrew the hard disk bay cover (one screw) and swap the drives rather than have to unscrew the entire assembly and then screw it onto the other HDD repeatedly.

Looking for FRU number for the entire SATA HDD assembly (minus the HDD itself of course but including the rubber rails).

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: P580 System Running Very Hot

Jul 23, 2013

I have a Lenovo P580 that I put a Samsung Evo 840 SSD in. The system seems to always run hot, the fan runs high and I'm not sure why.

Right now the  at 205 degrees, the moterhboard at 209 degrees, and the SSD at 133 degrees.

I leave the laptop on most of te time, but during the night when t is idel, it still runs hot and the fan runs loud. I'm using anywhere between 60-100% of my CPU, and the major programs sucking resources are MS Security Essentials, OneDrive, and CrashPlan.

I do have an external hard drive attached for extra data storage. Is the system jacked up? The laptop sits on a desk all day, so there is no issues with exhaust.

When I restore the image (to the same machine) the Ricoh Card reader has status of Base System Device under Other Devices. I have tried reapply the drivers, deleting the device with drivers and rebooting so that the machine can redetect the device. No luck, just stays at Base System Device.

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.

Lenovo V570 C/E/K/M/N/V Series :: Always Boots With System Preparation Tool 3.1.4

Jun 30, 2013

I purchased a refurbished V570 for my son.  Just received it the other day.  Every time it boots up, the System Preparation Tool 3.1.4 boots up.  Whenever I turn the laptop off and start it again, instead of showing the regular Windows 7 start up screen, it has a "Setting up your computer for the first time" (or something like that) screen.  Once up and running, the tool pops up again.  Windows 7 runs perfectly, no issues, I installed a bunch of things for him, but obviously this tool shouldn't be starting up and the laptop shouldn't be starting with the setup screen every time.
 
I did some digging around the internet, there is a bunch of info on this, but everything indicates that the Windows installation was not properly finished on my laptop.  I went to all the places that are listed to possibly remove the tool, but can't find any references except a bunch in the registry which I don't really want to mess with on a "new" computer.
