Lenovo U410 (HDMI) to Thunderbolt

Hi,
Can i connect my Lenovo u410 (HDMI) to a 27" Apple Thunderbolt monitor?
If yes, how?
Here at work there are a lot of 27" screens eating dust.
Many thanks.

It could be that the adapter has failed. That sounds like the most likely cause of your problem.

hi Moh27,
Thanks for Using Lenovo community Forums!
Inside BIOS under boot tab you will find there UEFI Boot you will need to disable that
then u need to move the USB HDD: GENERIC USB HDD to number 1.
You can do that by highlighting the USB HDD: GENERIC USB HDD and pressing F5 or F6 to move it up
-or-
Highlight the things on top of the USB HDD: GENERIC USB HDD then put them down still using the F5 or F6 to move them down, do it one by one till the USB HDD is on top.
Just make once you got the USB HDD: GENERIC USB HDD to 1 hit F10 to save and exit changes.
Hope this helps,

Thunderbolt display using HDMI to Thunderbolt convertor

I have a latest Sony Vaio Laptop with a HDMI port. Can i connect the Apple Display using a HDMI to Thunderbolt connector. Thanks

I was wondering this too. I have an LCD display that I share with my FreeNAS server(DVI IN) and MacBook(HDMI in using display port adapter ) which works , but I'd love to switch the the thunderbolt. unfortunately there is only enough room for a single display in my workspace, so I can't have both.
hopefully either Apple or a 3rd part will come up with a way to make the TBolt more flexible.

Hdmi to thunderbolt for camera input??

We have a mid-2011 17" Macbook Pro and have a Panasonic HMC150 camera that we need to input for a Webex conference. The camera is HDMI out. Does anyone know if an HDMI to Thunderbolt adapter will allow the Macbook to recognize the camera? Or is the Thunderbolt/mini-display port on the Macbook just an output. If it WOULD work, is there a recommended adapter or must we use a powered converter? Thanks!

Not 100% sure on this but I believe this may be what you are looking for.

HDMI to Thunderbolt

I am decieding wether or not to get a Thunderbolt Display. I want to know if I could play Xbox on it. Is there a HDMI to Thunderbolt so that I can play Xbox on my display?
PS: I want a Thunderbolt Display not a Apple HDMI Display.

Eamon N.,
Unfortunately, there is no amount of cabling/adapters that will allow you to do what you'd like.
I do love my Apple Thunderbolt Display, though I expect Apple will soon - perhaps with the release of the new Mac Pro - be updating the model.

Hdmi to Thunderbolt input?

Is it possible to use my RMBP as a display for my Xbox 360. I know the HDMI out port cannot be used but what about the Hdmi to thunderbolt adaper that you can buy? I would input the Xbox and plug the hdmi cable into the adapter and connect it to thunderbolt bridge. is this possible?
Thank you

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Only Late 2009 27-inch and newer iMacs support Target Display mode, so they can be used as external displays. However, you cannot use a MacBook Pro as an external display for a Xbox 360, even if you get the proper adapter.

Do we have HDMI to thunderbolt converters currently

Do we have HDMI to thunderbolt converters currently in market for 27" iMac

Check the Apple Store and Google.

Hdmi to Thunderbolt cable to use imac as display

Hi
I want to use my Imac (2011) as a display for my gaming PC which has hdmi ports.... Not thunderbolt. If hdmi to thunderbolt isn't possible is there a Pci.
Thanks

You will need an HDMI to MiniDisplayPort converter such as this one:

A simple cable will not work. You'll need to confirm with the manufacturer that the converter will work with your specific model of iMac.
There are no PCI slots in an iMac.

Lenovo U410 8.1 Audio Issues

I have owned the Lenovo U410 Ideapad for a decent while now and I have been consitently satisfied with its preformance. Recently I uprgraded to Windows 8.1 and it does not play any sound from any source. After some searching I found the software to fix it.
The "Conexant Audio Driver for Windows 8.1 (32-bit, 64-bit) â“ IdeaPad U310, U310 touch, U410,"
So of course I downloaded it, but the problem persists where sound does occur, with every 1/7 videos on Youtube, or sound lasts for moments but nothing is consistent.
Any solutions? It would be immensly appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi Squeaking_Lemur,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Is the issue happening on local mp3 files(audio saved on your pc and not through the internet)?
Try opening Device Manager and open Sound, video, and game controllers Uninstall the conexant entry there and restart your system see if that will work.
If still non try this again
Conexant Audio Driver
Let me know your findings
Cheers!

Lenovo U410 SDD Fails

Hi,
I have a Lenovo U410 laptop with windows 8.1.
First the boot of my system was really slow (taking like 15 mins)! So I checked the forum and deinstalled expresscache and now it works faster. So I thought I'll setup Intel Rapid Start Technology, for that you have to set something in the BIOS from AHCI to RAID. When I did that my PC wouldn't boot anymore, so I changed it back.
For some reason HD Tune can't find my SSD. When I check with Windows for any errors on the ssd it says everything is fine. However, I have the feeling the SSD is useless at the moment. Can you please help me.
Thank you very much in advance.

I reinstalled a fresh copy of Windows 8.1, no changes. It still takes a hell of a time to boot up. Even flashed new bios..
Don't know how to go from here, but I think the problem is not windows, because that works fine. It's got something to do with the boot, but can't figure out what..? Please help

Lenovo U410 - 32GB SSD Failed

I have been running my Lenovo U410 great for a few months, but recently the 32GB SSD gave out. It isn't detected anymore and it gives me the Intel Rapid Start Technology is disabled error everytime Windows is booted. My warranty only has a few months left, but I'm in no shape to be laptopless. Also, replacing the 32GB SSD by myself voids warranty as there are Lenovo stickers on the screws to open up the back panel. I don't have many options, any suggestions what I could do? Also, is there any way to make my U410 run off completely the HDD so I can use "Sleep" when I close the lid. If it's running on "Sleep", the laptop goes to a black screen which is caused by my SSD problem. This is a VERY big problem with U310/U410 owners, but there hasn't be a consensus on a solution.

hi Telstra,
Thanks for Posting!
I believe the SSD is only mounted for Caching.
The system could technically run without it.
If you are to replace the SSD
Open Control Panel and Uninstall the Intel Rapid Start and the Expresscache Software.
then Replace your SSD.
Once Installed run the Install the Espress cache software from Lenovo Website.
It should work.
The Warranty is valid even if you replace a part.
Only damages during the process of replacing are not.
You can refer to the system's Maintenance Manual for Disassembly.
Regards
Solid Cruver

Lenovo U410 Intel SRT technology

Good day. More recently became the proud owner Ultrabook Lenovo U410 core i3. Out of the box I was a Windows 8 64-bit. Technology Intel Smart Response (hybrid drive) has not been implemented. I decided to unleash the full potential of the laptop. To do this:
1) I downloaded the OS Windows 8 64bit Single languarge
2) I downloaded the driver Raid-Array (https://downloadcent...x?DwnldID=22194)
3) Set in Bios mode Raid
4) Carry out a "clean" installation of Windows 8 (with area ssd-drive left no marked-up)
5) Install Intel Rapid Start Technology.
6) Press the "Speed" - and after a few minutes was an unknown error where you are requested to reboot a computer. and try again
Trying to turn the acceleration is the third day, spent about 5 different system settings and it did not work,
What am I doing wrong - I can not understand. Someone has such a model, and how you turned this "chip".
Another question - is it possible to simultaneously use Smart Response Technology and Rapid Start Technology?

hi razmarin,
When you installed Windows 8, did you loaded up the RAID drivers eventhough you see the HDD that are listed? (see this thread).
AFAIK, you can install both Intel Smart Response Technology and Intel Rapid Start Technology provided that the SSD can accomodate the space that it requires to run the app (Intel Smart Response uses a minimum of 18.6GB and Intel Rapid Start depends on the RAM (if you have 4GB RAM, the hibernation partition should be equal or larger than the amount of memory in the system).
Best regards,
neokenchi

Lenovo U410 - Win8 / Unable to access OS + BIOS on statup

Hi Guys,
I hope that someone can provide some assitance for me please?
About 1 week ago, I was using my Lenovo U410 ultrabook without any issues when I decided to power off as normal. I did this but it wouldn't power off automatically, as the screen would go blank but the power light would remain on but continue running. I left it for about 30 minutes before deciding to force shutdown by holding down the power button.
Then when turning the laptop back on, it would normally take about 10 seconds to reach the login screen but now it was taking about 2 minutes. Eventually it would get to the login screen and I could login normally.
I tried to find some solutions to this but all that was recommended was to make sure I had the latest updates and run a virus scan. I did all the above and everything seem to indicate that it was all updated and no virus/malware detected.
NOW, however after powering down my laptop about 3 days ago, when I boot up I recieve a blue error screen advising the following:
Recovery
Your PC needs to be repaired
A required deivce isn't connected or can't be accessed.
Error code: 0xc000000f
You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. If you don't have any installtion media (like a disc or USB device), contact your system administrator or PC manufacturer.
This error provides me with options to go to the Statup options (F8), the UEFI Firmware option (Esc) or Start normally (Enter)
Whatever option I select I just get brought back to the above error message. Even when I power up using the Novo button, I get the 4 options or Normal startup, Bios, Boot Menu and System Recovery but each option brings me back to the above error screen.
I don't have any disc or media as nothing came with the laptop, all OEM, and I have no idea what to do?
Any suggestions will be very welcome as I'm at road block and not sure how to go about fixing this?

Hi
I think that it's the case of bad hdd or else the hdd is not connected properly in the port. So i suggest you contact support if you are under warranty.

How do you connect 3 HDMI monitors to the new Mac Pro running Maverics. HDMI to thunderbolt adaptors only support 2 displays. The fine print in Apple docs HT 5918 indicate the Mac Pro will only support 2 HDMIs. Anyone found a workaround?

I am trying to connect 3 HDMI displays to a Mac Pro. I am using a HDMI to thunderbolt adaptor and can only get 2 of the 3 displays to work.
Does anyone know of a work around.
Is there a systems configuration varaible for type of display?

USB video adapters can severely limit graphics performance. Use ACTIVE HDMI adapters instead.

Lenovo U410 microphone not working

My Lenovo U410 microphone(Conexant SmartAudio HD) isn't working. I tried a number of things from various posts but hard luck. I checked that its configured correctly. The OS is Windows 7. Could somebody help me with steps to check if its an hardware problem. Thanks.

hi gvirmani,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Just to verify, have you tried to record and playback your voice using the built-in Sound Recorder?
If the microphone levels fluctuates but you're not able to hear anything when you try to playback the recording then there's most likely a defect in the microphone and you may need to contact Lenovo for service.
Alternatively, you can try using a USB headset w/ mic or a USB camera w/ mic as a temporary replacement.
