Bluetooth Freezing up on Lenovo T Series Computers

Lenovo T Series Community
I own three Lenovo Laptops (T400-Win 7 x86, T430-WIn 7 x64 and T520-Win7 x64) and I have problems with the Bluetooth locking or Freezing up. Its more prevalent on my T430 system than the other two although it happens with them occasionally too. Typical I have issue when booting up my T430. The booth tooth never seems to load. I simply select the Fn +F5 key and re-boot the Bluetooth and I'm off. With the T520 and T400 the problem usual occurs while using the computer. Happen 2 - 3 times a week. Again, all I have to do is select the Fn+F5 key and re-boot the Bluetooth radio and typically have no further issues. Any suggestions about what maybe going on.

Predictions: When will Lenovo X-series support 802.11ac ?

When do you predict we will see a Lenovo X-series laptop introduced that supports 802.11ac ?
FYI - 2 sites I read for reliable tech info, including home networking:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/7127/the-joys-of-80211ac-wifi
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-reviews
I'm getting 375-405 mbps by hanging this orb
ASUS Dual-Band Wireless-N900 USB Network Adapter
http://amzn.to/14ql6WG
off my downstairs Thinkpad's USB port .
That orb pairs with an ASUS RT-N66U Dual-Band Wireless-N900 upstairs.
On the downside, it's something permanently plugged into my USB port.
On the upside, with a USB cord extender, it easily stays put on the laptop coffee table. And I like the idea of the antenna being further away from my brain. Most importantly, the performance is compelling. (it seems to be twice as fast as before)

Any Lenovo laptop with mini PCI-E port should support 802.11ac as long as there's no whitelist in the BIOS. I could've put the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 on my Y470, but instead I chose the Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260 since the Wireless-AC version has a bluetooth integrated which conflicts with my Broadcom bluetooth that came with the laptop. The Wireless-AC itself works, but both my Broadcom bluetooth and Intel's bluetooth won't work (they both show an yellow triangle with exclamation point on Device manager). The Wireless-N version has no bluetooth so the built-in Broadcom bluetooth works fully.

Lenovo 3000H series Desktop Motherboard

Dear Members.Could anyone of the forum member help me to get a good working condition Lenovo 3000H series Desktop Motherboard?Please offer your price.Thanks!

Think there is really nothing you could do. Mine is also faulty. I changed the internal battery of the m/board and the bios set up continuously asked me to press F1 to enter setup or F2 to resume. Worst, it getting from bad to worst, the power supply seems to be giving trouble too. I am a seasoned guy who used to build desktop from scrap and i have one that is based on 486 which is still working today. Inspite of its fame(ie IBM) lenovo's m/board doesn't seem to be so lasting afterall.

Lenovo X201 Series Tablet/Laptop

Hi I recently bought a Lenovo X201 Series Laptop but the screen is cracked it has a touchscreen interface I would like to know can I replace the touchscreen with a 12.1inch LED or LCD Screen as I dont want to spend to much on a touch screen details of laptop is below
Product ID: 2985DMG
Specs:
Corei7 CPU,500GB Hard Drive 4GB Ram 12.1inch Touch screen.

Hi,
there is a lot matrices are installed into x201t. Models also depend of the backlight type - LED or CCFL. I'm not sure whether any supported matrices models are compatible with your laptop. Also there are different LCD cable assembly and LCD rear cover assembly depending of the backlight type.
To ensure what matrice you have and what's compatible check out on Lenovo' site parts list of your laptop by its [laptop] serial number. Support site doesn't answer a question by MTM only.
I think it's impossible to fit non touch matrice into the tablet because of the different size (width). Compare the width of x201 and x201t.
UPD
Service parts DB says your laptop has 12.1-in. WXGA LCD panel, LED backlight (300-nit LCD), FRU 45N6092 or 45N5388.

Do it well, worse becomes itself

LENOVO C SERIES ALL IN ONE DESKTOP PC

Hi...Im new to this site and just wanted to ask a question,
I bought a lenovo all in one c series pc..Only a few days ago,
I got it home and booted it up as you do,
Then it went to mircosoft updates and found 45 updates....So it downlosaded them and it went to reboot but all i got was a blank black screen with just the wireless light and the power light on...
Any ideas to what is happening ?....
Im from the UK if that helps
Rob

I have had the exact same problem and it is confirmed it is down to the Intel GMA 3150 update that Windows Update installs for you.
I recommend you print or write the following instructions down before doing them as restarts are required throughout the process.
If the Intel GMA 3150 update has been installed you'll find your computer will go blank once it's loaded into Windows. There is an update available from Lenovo that I'll explain about below, but first you need to uninstall that update that is causing the problem. Press the power button on your Lenovo All-in-One for it to automatically switch off. Then turn your computer on again. AS SOON AS YOU SEE THE LENOVO START UP SCREEN, continue to press the F8 key until you see many options listed on a black background with white text (basically keep pressing the F8 key for 5-10 seconds when you see the Lenovo bootup logo). The reason for this is because the F8 key is registered just after the Lenovo bootup logo. If you don't see anything on your screen within 10 seconds, your display may be turned off even though the power is on - press the button next to the power button on your display to turn it on, and you should see the options I described.
Now use your Arrow Key on your keyboard to select Safe Mode (choose the first option) and it'll eventually boot into Windows. Then go to the Start menu, right-click on Computer and select Properties. Then from the new window that'll appear, select Device Manager from the left hand side. Then in the newer, smaller window, double-click under "Display" and find the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator option - right-click on it and select "Uninstall". Make sure from the next window that pops up you select the checkbox to delete the files relating to the driver. It will probably ask you to restart your computer at this point. Your computer should boot up into Windows as usual but everything will appear bigger than usual.
When you're logged into Windows, go to the Start menu, search for Windows Update and launch the program. From the left of the new window, select "Change settings" and where it says "Important updates" there's a drop down box; choose "Download updates but let me choose whether to install them". This is a temporary measure to ensure the Intel GMA 3150 driver isn't reinstalled until we install the update from Lenovo that fixes this issue.
Now, this blank screen issue has been rectified by Lenovo in the form of a software update that is available from http://consumersupport.lenovo.com. From there enter your serial number (found on the back of your computer) - or alternatively select the option that starts at the top of the list of Lenovo computers - for instance, my All in One is Lenovo C200 so it's listed as "3000 C200". From there, find the BIOS update that can be installed via the operating system which is at the top of the list of the drivers available. Download the .exe file, run the application for it to install itself and then restart your computer once it is installed. Then go back to the downloads page at http://consumersupport.lenovo.com and also download the second file which has a .txt extension (I believe); these are the instructions. Follow the simple instructions. Once you have followed the instructions you'll see it asking you to enter any key to restart. For me it didn't restart the computer so I had to do this manually by pressing the Windows key on the keyboard which opens the Start menu and using the arrow keys to get to the Restart section of the Start menu. Once your computer restarts, go back to Windows Update and change settings back to "Install updates automatically". Now click OK and then back at the left section select "Check for updates". Once it has checked for updates click on the "important updates available" link in the Windows Update window and find the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator option (if you can't find it, from the left select "Optional", it should be in there instead. Whichever one it is in, make sure all updates are DESELECTED in both Important and Optional and then go back to whichever section the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Update is in, and select that update, then click OK from the bottom right and go ahead and install it. Once it is installed, you'll find your display goes black. Don't worry at this point, this is the update installed. Wait 1 minute and then press the power button for 3 seconds for your computer to turn off (once you press the power button it'll take a few seconds to turn off). Turn on your computer again and you'll find it boots back into Windows fine with that Intel update that previously caused a blank screen at start up. Everything is now done and the Intel update is now installed. The reason it causes a black screen after it is installed I don't know, but after turning off/on again, everything works fine - since the BIOS update has fixed the blank screen at start up problem.
Hope this helps. I know it's in depth, but it shouldn't take too long. I'm a customer and not a staff member at Lenovo, by the way and I did everything I described above when I had the same problem. A Lenovo staff member over the phone did explain about the Intel GMA driver causing problems when I called for an unrelated problem and then it happened to me later on, realising it's the Intel GMA driver that Windows Update installed.

Bluetooth Freeze

Hi
I have had my Ideapad U410 for about 18 months now.
Recently my bluetooth mouse has stopped working after a few minutes of use. If I switch the mouse off and then on again it works again. I assumed that it was a problem with the mouse so I purchased a new one.
Guess what. The same problem.
Now with two blutooth mice displaying the same problem I am guessing that the trouble lies within the laptop, but what to do to identify whats going wrong.
Anyone got any ideas please.
John

Windows 8 Freezes after last "Lenovo Settings Update" anytime the pointer goes to a corner

After the most recent "Lenovo Settings Update", my Windows 8 freezes for a few minutes (minimum of two) anytime the pointer hits one of the hot corners. The system also freezes for a couple of minutes or less when certain apps are started or the mouse clicks on certain apps. This is a repeatable error. I can restore the system to the setpoint previous to the "Lenovo Settings Update" and everything works fine. re-Install the update and the problem comes back. The system also freezes for 5-10 seconds when an e-mail message comes in and the notification appears. Also happens under other different circumstances but the worst is when the mouse pointer goes to any "Hot Corner". I can reset the system to the last restore point and have everything work fine but anytime I go to "Lenovo Settings", it forces the update which then creates this problem.
Has anyone else seen this issue? I have all the updates for Windows 8 and Lenovo installed including all new Bios updates that are published. The model is a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge S320u (otherwise known as the "Twist". The error is repeatable in all screen modes, tablet modes and multiple monitor modes.
For now I will go back to the latest restore point but would like to see the issue resolved.
Thanks.
Bob

I had the exact same issue with the same computer (Thinkpad Twist)! Am very happy to have come accross this page through a web search.
After installing some updates through Lenovo Update App (because of a message that critical updates are available on the Lenovo Support App from Startscreen), my whole system would freeze for about two minutes when moving the cursor over any corner. This is very troublesome not only because it effectively disables the Windows 8 "hot corners" (which I didn't use much anyway, preferring to launch the tasks thus accessible differently), but mostly because it is necessary at times to access the corners, notably to close any document, webpage or other instance of any program that was open in full screen (which usually all of my docs/programs are, considering the Twist's small screensize...).
Afer reading rbagnall's post I first tried uninstalling updates through the Lenovo Update center. But there, once installed, updates don't seem to be removable. Why Lenovo? You can look at the list of installed updates but not make any change. Now I have followed rbagnall's advice and restored my computer with a restore point, sufficiently far back, as I didn't know exactly which update caused this. It worked! Not exactly pleasant, because I had to reinstall some programs and change some settings again, but the problem got resolved.
I went further and tried to see which update causes this by installing them one by one and seeing when the problem appears. The culprit seems to be "Display Mode Orientation Update for Windows 8". One needs to install the "Lenovo Power Management Driver" with it (which is actually listed under optional updates, whereas the Display Mode update is shown as a critical one, but the former is selected automatically when the later is chosen, and one cannot unselect it, a message appears then that it is necessary for the other update). So it could be that one as well (haven't checked whether installing it without the Display Mode update creates the same problem). In any case, once these are installed, the problem appears.
I have now restored my PC again to the restore point, and haven't installed any Lenovo update, not even the other critical one, as I don't know what it's for (Critical patch to fix TVSU UTS issue - I haven't had this issue, and any web entries on this I found dated back to 2009). In the optional updates there is also a BIOS update, which I had installed previously, but I don't know what it's for either. If there is anything terribly useful in either (or other optional updates), please tell me.
For now I have uninstalled the Lenovo Support Startscreen App (which seems to be more annoying than helpful), and will refrain from updating any Lenovo drivers from now, which seems to do more harm than good (everything was working fine before the update)...

READ THIS If you're suffering freezing issues to your SL series ThinkPad

I've owned a ThinkPad SL510 since 2009, been rather happy until I installed the Windows 7 Professional upgrade disc onto it.
After using Word 2007 on it for a while, it hanged completely. BIOS and swapping the RAM around fixed it temporarily but it came back after a month.
Turns out that it's the registry that's very messy. I installed CCleaner and ran it a few times on the registry cleaner, it got rid of a lot of invalid registries. Before this I installed WIndows 7 Ultimate, fresh copy with nothing Lenovo related and I had no issues whatsoever.
Buggy Windows preinstalls are the culprits but the solution is just simple.
When you've reinstalled your OS that came with the laptop, please download and run CCleaner and run it a few times on the registry cleaner till the registry errors list are empty. I have had no issue since I ran it. Believe me it'll stop you from stressing out from the freeze ups and you wouldn't have to send it in for repairs for no reason!

So my touchpad wasn't working and I have an HP dv6-6135dx. It started being messed up shortly after I took my PC apart to upgrade the screen. Sometimes it worked perfectly, sometimes it was completely unresponsive, sometimes the ring around the touchpad was lit, other times it wasn't etc.... It got worse and worse to the point where the touch pad almost never worked.
I followed this guide, and it didn't fix the problem; however, this got me thinking, and I pulled the keyboard out and reseated the touchpad cable where it connects right under there. BAM works perfectly. THANK YOU so much for this post, for some reason I didn't think to reseat the cable... I must have not plugged it back in completely when I took my laptop apart. You can find the service manual for the dv6t here Its in the first post

Battery Maximizer Lenovo 3000 Series

I would like why no Battery Maximizer software for 3000 Series systems/notebooks?
Why only for ThinkPad series?

I tried but it says "cannot install on this system"
whats more interesting? the lenovo training website says you need to use the battery maximizer software to get maximum battery time.
So I ask where is battery maximizer software for N100 3000?

Lenovo Z Series Z50-75

Bought the Laptop today. And registered it. But could not register the date I got the computer. It only shows the date it was manufactured. And for me that means om loosing nearly alot of time of my warranty. Also not possible to update Windows 8.1 from Windows update. Nothing wrong with my internet. Since it works with all my other appliances. Not sure what to do with this. Since I have to wait all to Monday to bee able to call support. I also found out that its not possible to even email support in Norway, for some reason.
Solved!

Welcome to the Lenovo Community !
Sounds like you purchase your laptop from a retailer other than Lenovo. In those types of sales the warranty date starts on the day the retailer purchased their shipment from Lenovo. Generally Lenovo will add an additional month to the warranty to make up for the time the computer may have sat in a warehouse or on the store's shelf unsold. With your purchase it sounds like it sat longer than expected. Not a problem. Use my link below to update your warranty purchase date. Choose the Americas as the Region and submit. On the next page will be a web form. Choose Inform Machine Purchase Date and fill in the form. You can then attach a scan of your receipt and submit it to Lenovo. Your warranty period will then be updated with the new date.

My question is when you order the S10 in black does that mean the keyboard is black. My Son's friend stated that it's black on the outside but the keyboard is white.
Also I wanted to thank Mark the Admin here for resolving the battery replacement question on my other Son's Y510. I apologize for a well over due thank you and we are all one big happy Lenovo family. Thanks again Mark for the extra effort!
