BIOS G580-20150

Hello, I have a G580 model 20150 and periodically I check if updates are available for my laptop. I saw a weirdness in Lenovo download Center:
- updates aren't available for my model, 20150, under W7, see here http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS038599
- but are available under W8, see here http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS039067
**bleep**, I must upgrade my OS only for update the BIOS?
On the other hand, the version confuse me, one is 40, the other is 96... and I just "feedbacked" 5 * the Download Center.

Nobody can help me? Let's rephrase:
Currently, my G580, model 20150, has rev. 3.7 BIOS. The OS is Windows 8.1. Which BIOS version upgrade is suitable for my laptop?

G580 20150 BIOS downgrade

Video card started to overheat and slow down after BIOS update.
Need to downgrade BIOS (older than April 24 2013), but lenovo.com contains only latest BIOS version.
Lenovo G580 20150.

After upgrading to v9.01 video card voltage has grown. In games or apps like Photoshop or other apps, which work with graphics temperature of video card grows to 100-105 celsius degrees. And performance has declined. Before BIOS upgrade max temperature was around 75 degrees and performance was almost twice as. And now I need older bios, but I can't find it. =(

G580 20150 W7 BIOS

Why Lenovo doesn't provide any download links for bios update for g580 20150 model under Windows 7? Is it some company secret or what? I just don't get it, why company like Lenovo doesn't want to share files that they HAVE to has due to support stuff etc. Where is the point in leaving customers with outdated versions? Yeah some could say that anybody can find some ROM's over the web but why we can't use official updates?

I would not update / change BIOS unless ablsolutely neccessary... Too many have ended up bricking their notebook that way. Most of the time the update just is a minor bug fix to address problems that have surfaced, rather than an essential add on, or security issue.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Замена процессора Pentium 2020M на I5 3210M, ноутбук G580 (20150)

Здравствуйте! Смогу ли я без лишних проблем заменить процессор Intel Pentium 2020M на Intel Core I5 3210M в ноутбуке Lenovo G580 (20150). Хочу купить б/у ай5 и отнести в сервис центр что бы заменили. Будет ли он работать сразу же после установки или придется обновлять биос или еще что-то?

Приветствую
Процессор i5-3210m присутствует в официальном перечне запчастей g580. Главное - не ошибитесь с типом корпуса (PGA). BIOS желательно обновить до последней версии, неизвестно когда была реализована поддержка данного процессора.
А установить Вы можете и сами при некотором навыке.

G580 20150 problem game automatically shut down

Dear Lenovo Community!
I have bought my Lenovo G580 (20150) this summer, and ever since, I have been facing an annoying problem. When I try to play a game (regardless of its system requirements), after a few minutes, the laptop shuts down suddenly automatically without any previous warning or explanation after rebooting. I have already tried World of warplanes, Empire Total War and the new Tombraider as well, but the result is the same. However, there is no lagging even on medium-high settings. Besides, the laptop works fine without problems when I use other non-gameing programmes.
I sent it back to a local laptop service (I have bought from them), but they said that they didn't manage to find any problem.
What should I do? Please, help me.
Best regards
PS: I am not a native speaker, so If I was not clear, please let me know and I will try to explain it better.

Ah, I forgot to mention that I use win 8 x64, it may be important.

G580 (20150) Brightness Hot key Problem

Hello there guys!
I'm experiencing some problems after the lenovo support techs changed the hard drive of my 4-month G580(20150) laptop.It seemed that they didn't get to install some drivers concerning sound,wlan etc. but i did manage to do this by myself.
The only issue i didn't solve was the Hotkey concerning the Brightness(Although the Fn+Sound was automatically solved when i downloaded the sound drivers).I've read similar problems from other users and followed the steps by unistalling the Lenovo Energy Management,restarting and istalling the LEM v 8.0.2.5 again but nothing.Problem still there.
Any ideas about it??
Thanks in advance
Solved!

I heard there is a nvidia driver installation conflict on Win8 because of windows update.
Try this:
1). Disable windows Auto-Update and disconnect your internet connection.
2). Reinstall the geforce driver with Custom(Advanced) and checklist the Clean install
PS: You can use the latest optimus driver from lenovo or from nvidia site http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us

G580 (20150) Running slow, Bios problem

Hello
I got a little problem with my lenovo g580.
Not a long time ago i downloaded the bios update from the site and I did everything right but after my laptop restarted I got the message that said that I have to put in the disk of some sort so I checked on the internet if there is something I could do about that. I went to bios and changed the boot option to Legacy BIOS boot mode but after that everything worked fine but after that I noticed performance decrease on the laptop (Longer boot and longer wait time to open programs for about 1st few minutes after the boot).
I would like to use Lenovo recovery program to recover system setting to the factory setting but IM scared to do that cause of the bios problem I had.
I would really like someone to help me with this problem.
Best Regards

Hi SloAki,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that the computer is not performing as expected, I suggest you to perform the below steps provided to increase the performance of the computer then perform OKR (One Key Recovery) if required if the issue persists even after performing the troubleshooting steps.
Optimize Windows for better performance
Click here to download User Guide and perform OSRI (Operating System Re-Install) using OKR (One Key Recovery) by clicking on NOVO button provided in the computer, to perform OSRI and refer page no. 2 to locate the NOVO button and page no. 34 for the steps to perform OKR.
NOTE: Please backup the data in the computer before performing OSRI, as the data will be completely erased.
Hope this helps!!!

Bios not running and say default boot device missing or boot failed. Insert recovery media .

hi alirj,
Your issue might be similar to this thread.
Can you try to disable UEFI by:
1. Booting into the BIOS (press F2 after you turn the computer ON)
2. In the Boot Tab, set UEFI to disabled or legacy mode and press F10 to save and exit.
3. Try to repair your Windows installation and observe.

Lenovo Wireless Device Settings Window is missing, G580 (20150) Windows 8.1

Since upgrading to 8.1 I have been unable to access the window to toggle wireless and bluetooth on and off.
I reinstalled LEM and the airplane function returned, but not the window.
Wireless works after I removed the Microsoft driver. I don't have a bluetooth device to test that function.
I just tried to install the 8.1 64 bit Bradcom Bluetooth driver and it would not install.
Bluetooth isn't listed in Device Manager.
I just found this information, but the link to the older version doesn't work.
I may just by an Intel Network 7260.HMWG.R

Hi guys,
I see that Shiv_K is helping you out on this
In addition.
Try to refresh the Hardware and Power.
    Remove AC and Battery
          Hold the Power Button down for at least 15 sec. Then Reconnect Everything back
Turn on the Systen and Right away start hitting F2 to load the BIOS Utility
          Inside BIOS hit F9 then Enter for Yes to load defaults
          Hit F10 to Save and Exit then Enter for YES.
now open
    Control Panel / Programs, and uninstall Lenovo Energy Management and restart the system
Then install these
Lenovo Energy Management

Press Fn+F5 and see if you will be provided with this window showing the bluetooth.

I have the same problem. G580, model 20150. I clean installed W 8.1, deactivating UEFI, but the Bluetooth device isn't discovered. I installed the appropriate driver, but the issue remains. I believe it's a driver issue. How can we contact Lenovo to tell our problem? They don't provide an e-mail adress, unfortunately... I'm wondering why?
EDIT: by reading the post #3 on this thread, by Solid_Cruver, I uninstalled Lenovo Energy Management for W8.1 x64 and installed older version as suggested. Then pressed Fn+F5 as I used to do in Win 7, activated BT, reinstalled appropriate driver and... Voila!, I have functional BT! Yupi!!!
Thank you very much, Solid_Cruver! Good solution!

G580(20150) CPU 100%

При добавлении или уменьшении гровкости, а так же яркости экрана с помощью кнорки Fn +нужная стрелочка вылазит сообщение. В заголовке написано "Energy Managment", сообщение внутри окна"CPU 100%" и кнопка "OK". Посмотрев по диспетчеру задач процессор не загружается на 100 процентов, а просто выскакивает окно. Которое мешает постоянно. Как исправить? Спасибо заранее за ответ.

Приветствую
Никаких других идей, кроме удаления и переустановки драйвера Lenovo Energy Management лично у меня нет. Вы не назвали ОС, для win8.1, например, есть два разных релиза, для разных платформ ноутов. Для 20150:

Bluetooth driver G580 20150

I have problem with bluetooth driver Windows 8
I installed the one in this page http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?DocID=HT073548
but it's not working
my system windows 8 Enterprise
and another problem when I click on the Fn key and F5 there is nothing happen when i had windows 7 it was working and show me the wireless and bluetooth options
Help me

hi coldsteel,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
If you're seing the image below when you press Fn+F5, this feature of the Energy Management is only for Windows 7.
If you don't see your bluetooth device under the Device Manger in Windows 8, try to:
1. Turn off the computer and remove the AC adapter, battery and press and hold the power button for 30secs.
2. Reinsert the AC adapter and battery and press the power button. During boot-up, repeatedly press F2 to go to the BIOS, when you're in, press F9 to load defaults and press F10 to save and exit.
3. When you're back to Windows, check if the Bluetooth device is not detected under the Device Manager.
Edit: Added Image
Hope this helps.
