Can't change RAM configuration without ConstantSecure complaints

Basically we bought a T400 off ebay and wanted to up the RAM from 2 X 2gb sticks, to 2 x 4gb sticks.  As soon as we change the RAM we get  "binary modules which failed authentication: TRSF" , which prompts you to go into bios, and bios says something about the system being protected by ConstantSecure Anti-Theft Protection.  Under ConstantSecure in the bios it says it's activated, if we revert the memory to 4gb the system will boot again, and in the bios constantsecure is not activated.  We tried to flash the bios to the latest, but it already is, no option to try going to an older bios either.  Reset the bios to defaults, no change, pulled CMOS battery, no change.  And yes, have tried multiple sticks of RAM, we have a few T400's to pull from so that's been tried as well.  I called lenovo and they won't help because the laptop is out of warranty.  Tried google searches and can't find anybody who encountered and solved this issue.  Some articles lead you to the Absolute company for their Computrace product.  I called them and they verified it's not their antitheft system that's active, but the constantsecure one and told me to call lenovo, which of course didn't pan out....please help!

  • I updated my Iphone 3gs to last version of iOS and now I can't change my configurations of Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

    I updated my Iphone 3gs to last version of iOS and now I can't change my configurations of Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

    Generally that is a sign that the iPhone had previously been jailbroken
    or hacked to work with other than the original wireless provider. The update
    has relocked the iPhone to the original wireless provider. You must
    contact them to see if they provide unlocking and if you qualify.
    If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at
    Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

  • How can I change Firefox language without having to download it again?

    Hi,
    I'd like to know how I can change firefox language, without having to download and re-install it again. I read there is a way to do it, but I just can't find the language file I have to download. (I have firefox in french, and i want to set it in spanish)
    thanks for your answers

    You need an English language version and there is no en-US language pack in Firefox 3.6. If you do not want the download the en-US version then you can install the en-GB language and switch to that version and remove the Spanish es-ES language pack from the chrome folder in the Firefox program folder.
    You can find all language pack here:
    http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.11/win32/xpi/.
    You can install language pack just like extensions.<br />
    You can set the pref "general.useragent.locale" to the preferred language ("en-GB") on the about:config page.<br />
    You can open the about:config page via the location bar, like you open a web site.<br />
    Use the Filter bar at the top of that page to quickly locate the pref.

  • Can we change card details without changing subscr...

    Hy i used a frendz card to pay for the subscription for the first time.can we change card details and resune with our ongoing subscription? I had to.cancel the original subscription but it still asks... Reactivate it ? Will thr be an option to change the card details ?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi oyeitsmee,
    I can see from your account that your subscription is no longer active. If you click 'Reactivate' button next to your expired subscription, you will be asked to enter payment details and repurchase it.
    You'll need to delete your friend's card details first from your stored payment method as follows:
    1. Sign in to your account: https://secure.skype.com/account/
    2. In the 'Account details' section, select 'Billing & payments'.
    3. Click 'Stored payment details'.
    4. Next to your friend's card details, click the 'Delete' button.
    Once you have managed to delete your friend's card details, you can proceed with entering your own card details.
    Please note that Skype needs to authorize your credit card by creating a temporary payment request to your card issuer for €1 or similar amount in your currency. Don't worry - you won't need to pay this amount.
    Hope this helps.

    THE PROBLEM
    The user open a specific application that uses ODBC to connect to the database.
    If the ODBC (System DSN), is configured to "Use Oracle NLS Settings" in numeric settings, then the application deploy the numbers without decimals
    But if we change the ODBC settings to "Use US Settings" the application deploy the numbers with two decimals
    The usern doesnt have the privileges to change that setting, what can I do to solve this issue?
    Best regards.

    It depends on your connect code, but you may be able specify NUM= in the connection string.
    This is from the Oracle ODBC docs..
    hope it helps

    Once you've done that the computer reboots and it's like the first time you used the machine. Your old accounts are all safe. From there you just change all other account passwords in the account preferences! (Use a new Shortname & such so as not to interfere with the original)

  • How can I change text height without converting to outlines?

    I work in a sign company and often need to set up text at specific sizes. When text is CAPS it isn't so bad, but when in Title Case it can be a pain....
    For example, if I need 2" high letters, generally it would be relative to the capitalized version of the first letter of the word (regardless of ascenders and descenders).
    Some times I need to do several at a time, so changing them individually is very time consuming when I have to convert each word to outlines and then adjust each word for compensating for ascending and descending letters.
    I'm wondering if there is a quicker way to accomplish this without converting the curves?  Also, I notice that when I change the font size (in Character palette) to 2", for example, when outlining the text is actually smaller.

    signguy(there),
    You may:
    1) Tick Edit>Preferences>General>Use Preview Bounds;
    2) Select the Type and Effect>Path>Outline Object.
    That will reduce the Bounding Box to the actual bounds of the letters, and keep the Type editable.
    Remember to untick Edit>Preferences>General>Use Preview Bounds before you get a reverse issue.

  • Can we change billing doc without cancelling( excise invoice is subsequent)

    Dear all,
    Here is a urgent issue
    One Excise invoice has been created with reference to a billing document
    and we have not maintained tax code in that condition records so it is not allowing to release the doc for accounting entries
    now my requirement is without cancelling the excise invoice and also not to do transaction  J1ih,( to create excise JV for direct GL entries
    i want to change the billing document
    Thanks in advance

    have not maintained tax code in that condition records
    While it is not necessary to reverse the excise invoice, the fact is that since tax code was not flowing in billing document, I am sure, excise duty would also not be flowing, in which case, your excise invoice is also generated for wrong value. 
    I would be surprised if you say that excise values are flowing in billing document and also in excise invoice and if your issue is only tax, then as already suggested, maintain a condition record (with the date in line with pricing date in billing document) and try.

  • Can I change App Store without lying to Apple or is there another way forward?

    Good day,
    I have registered an apple ID, setup all the required payment options, etc, but being in South Africa, didn't know how limited the South African App Store was.
    I've done what I fear to be a foolish thing, without realizing the implications, told Apple the truth with regards to using the App Store and to which country I reside in.
    I can't understand why the South African store is so limited in its content vs the US for example, I mean seriously, we're still paying in US dollars regardless of the fact that it's a South African regioned App Store.
    Enquiries on how to solve my problem have revealed that in order to proceed, I need to represent myself fraudulently as being a US citizen. Websites galor even will offer me fake credit card details along with a valid Zip Code in order to register a new Apple ID.
    I'm a straightforward sort of person and do not want to be forced to resort to fraud in order to gain access to content and an obviously more well stocked App Store.
    My question is thusly, Is it possible to maintain my South African credentials, payment method being a South African credit card and gain access to the vastly better stocked content available to the US App Store without following the advise of those that advocate what I perceive to be fraud?
    Thank you for taking the time to read this, I await in anticipation to your response.

    The rules are straight forward ...
    Your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

  • How can I change the tempo without distorting the vocals?

    Hi
    I have a song which is quite fast, so I tried to record it slow then increase the tempo after I'd recorded it. The problem is when I do this, the vocals get all distorted and sound wavy.
    Is there anything I can do to increase the tempo without this happening?
    Thanks

    I see your point, but then why is it when you an import a song from itunes and increase the tempo the vocals dont become distorted?
    I can understand how chaging the pitch of a track can distort the vocals, but not the tempo.

  • Can we change VI properties without actually opening it?

    Hi
    I am making executable out of my VI. I wished that the window should close once we exit the program through exit button. Hence I used "Quit Labview" function from Application Control pallette. At the same time inadvertantly I have set the VI properties as "Run when opened" and also disabled "Show run button" and "Show Abort button" options. Now when I open the VI, it starts running, it doesn't show run or abort buttons and when I press exit button to quit the program, it closes the Labview. Now I am unable to edit it's properties. Can any body tell me if there is any way of editing VI properties without actually openig the VI? Thanks and regards.
    Sreedhar Nyapathi

    Alternatively, if you have LabVIEW 8.0 or higher, open the VI from within a LabVIEW project. It will open in edit mode.
