Customize ThinkPad T400 with discrete graphics

In Customize ThinkPad T400 with discrete graphics,why the Display type didn't have the option of 14.1 WXGA+ TFT, w/ led Backlight, Camera ?
I just want to buy it.

That LCD option is most likely out of stock. As soon as the LCD panel is in stock, I'm sure the option will be made available for purchase.

Does the Advertised T410s with Discrete Graphics Exist?

On Lenovo's website (even on the purchase page) it says you can get a T410s with a Nvidia discrete graphics card, however I cannot configure one with that option. Does anyone have a link that shows the T410s with this option?
Maybe it will take them a month or so to get this option activated.
Thanks All,

the ones with discrete graphics are "announced", but not "available" yet
i think it'll be available in march or something

Problem with discrete graphic card and DirectX 11

If I try any application to launch with discrete graphic card (nvidia geforce 740m) that using directx 11 it always crashes.
There no problems with directx 9 on on this graphic card.
There are no problems with integrated graphic card whether application using directx 9 or 11. Problem occurs only with discrete graphic card and directx 11.
The things that i did:
- Reinstall Windows
- Install latest driver updates (I also tried to uninstall latest and install recomended driver downloaded from the oficial HP support 'driver download' web page)
- different options on nvidia control panel 3d settings page
I also tried microsoft 'Direct3D Tutorial Win32 Sample' source code to build and debug. It is failed in function IDXGISwapChain:resent with code DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED and ID3D10Device::GetDeviceRemovedReason returns DXGI_ERROR_DRIVER INTERNAL_ERROR.
Is there any chance that is not hardware malfunction?

@Enegue ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forum. In your situation I would consider keeping with Directx 9. The reason I say this is your notebook is not a performance gaming machine. It is designed to be fore general use.
Some cards will notice issues when upgrading to direct 11 from a lower level.
Not to mention with your notebook you will want to stick with the drivers only provided from the HP support site. They are proprietary for the notebook and could be the reason why the directx 11 is not working.
Here is the link to your systems supported drivers.

T500 with discrete graphics card availability

Im close to purchasing a T500 but have 3 questions.
1.) The T500 with discrete graphics no longer appears available on the canadian site. Can anyone confirm when it is likely to return?
2.) I want to get the keyboard change to the T61 (I have used the T500 keyboard and it is not fantastic) Can I order this when I place my order for the T500?
Cheers
Peter

1) When you are in the advanced mini dock, the displayport is active, so is your VGA and DVI. I am using the displayport on the laptop driving a Dell U2410 at WUXGA resolution, and the DVI port on the dock is driving another Dell U2410 LCD.
However, if you have a switchable graphics card and you switch to intel gpu, then the dvi port on the dock is disabled, only the the vga would work.
2) To your question of your the laptop's vga and displayport driving these monitors the answer is yes. The VGA on the T500 should be able to drive a WQXGA (not recommended as the picture quality is heavily degraded) and the displayport can also drive WQXGA.

Lenovo T400 missing "discrete graphics" in Bios

Hello guys, i'm new in the lenovo users community!
i just bought from a friend a lenovo t400 that has installed in it the OS windows XP... and i was reading in forums and other places that this lenovo has a switchable graphic card. for another one that is the ATI 3450 i think..
I know that the windows Vista has the capability of making the switch very easily. but now im working in a company with my laptop and cant install this OS.
i've read that i can do it via BIOS, but when i go BIOS > Config > Display .. i only see 2 options... select the port (internal / PCI Express) and the Monitor thing (Thinkpad, digital, etc)..
I've seen in forums that there are another 2 choices (for discrete graphics and OS detection) but those seems to be missing in the Bios...
What do i need to do?
What can i do?
I want to use this other graphic card... Can anyone Help?
Thanks a lot

Your laptop may not have the switchable graphics option installed. Check to see what is in your system through Lenovo.com/support/warnty-look.
Some units did not ship with switchable graphics option.

3.86GB usable with discrete graphic card????

the system tells me
memory: 4.00GB ( 3.86GB usable )
i have a discrete graphic card on my t510
and my system is 64 bits
how can this be happened?

Yeah same here with my G555. In both XP and Win7 it says 3g with 2.7g usable. But I'm not sure if my GPU is dedicated or not? In XP it only shows 700mb. In Win7 it shows 256mb dedicated and can share up to 1.1g for a total of 1.4g. Weird to me. But I'm loving Crysis on high though.

Thinkpad Yoga 15, discrete graphics card disabled

I just purchased a Thinpad Yoga with a discrete graphics card, NVIDIA GeForce 840M. It's disabled. I've tried the most recent driver from NVIDIA and the driver on Lenovo's site -- version 9.18.13.3360
Anyone have any idea about this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Horseatingweeds,
As per the screen shot I think the drivers may have got corrupted, uninstall both the graphic drivers and run ThinkVantage System Update utility, and make sure whether the drivers are not updated from MS updates.
That seems a little old, so I looked around. There are later versions, up to 1.24 4/6/2015 for ThinkPad S1 Yoga: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds038334
Please do not update the BIOS manually, instead of that run ThinkVantage System Update utility to check for the exact drivers and application for your system.

Hope this helps.

Windows 8.1 freezes while booting up with discrete graphic card T520

Hi all,
Hoping someone can help me here. If I use my discrete video card (nvs 42000m) to boot into windows, it will freeze on the sign in page or sometimes on the metro page however when Optimus is enabled it works just fine.
So I thought it was a driver issue. I went to Nvidia and downloaded their latest video card driver for windows 8.1. No help
Uninstalled that, went to Lenovo's support site and installed their recommended driver and all other windows 8 drivers. Again it would freeze
Booted into safe mode uninstalled that, turned optimus back on, and this time used Windows update to install my video drivers (intel and Nvidia both this time).
Didn't work. So I spent maybe another hour or so fiddling and after many restarts i finally found the culprit. It was the Lenovo monitor driver. As soon as I uninstalled that, everything worked fine and I could finally use my laptop with optimus disabled and discrete video card enabled.
Windows update keeps recommending me to update the monitor driver but if I do, then it freezes again so I'm just leaving it as the default generic monitor.
The reason why I made this thread is to inform and save potential users in the future who have a similar laptop to mine (t520 with hd 3000 and nvidia 42000m) with Windows 8 installed and they happen to choose to solely run their laptop with the discrete graphics card, remember to uninstall your monitor driver.
I am open to recommendations and other alternatives.

T400 Missing Discrete Graphics

After I updated my windows vista, the ATI discrete graphic seems to be missing. Left the Intel graphics in operation.
I tried to switch the graphic but I couldn't found there is any option for ATI graphics. It is like totally missing...
When i run the ATI Catalyst, an error message popped out, stating that the Catalyst is not supporting the current active graphic processor.
Any solution??

Try running System Update; it'll bring all of the relevant drivers up-to-date with the latest ones for Windows 7.
(However, Windows 7 does not support resuming from standby properly with switchable graphics; both GPUs are powered on afterwards and need to be toggled. A potential solution using Catalyst 10.10 has been reported.)

[GE60 OND] Strange issue with discrete graphics

Specs:
MSI GE60 OND
CPU: Intel i7-3610QM
Memory: 8gb
discrete graphics: nvidia 660m
OS: Windows 7 ultimate 64bit
Was having issues with laptop, i reformatted and updated all the drivers. still did not fix.
The issue:
When playing games (tested on BL2, CSGO, The Forest, TF2) with the 660m it runs fine for about 5min then starts to freeze/stutter (both sound and video). The FPS drops from around 120+ to around 20 for about 30seconds then snaps back to 120+ for another 30, then repeats. This does not happen when using the integrated video. Temps are staying in the 40-70c range.
Thanks in advance!

Yes all games are on the internal hard disk.
Try to turn off the power saving function of the HDD.

Thinkpad T400 with Vista OS won't start up

Hello all,
I'm a relatively non-proficient computer user with a T400 that is having some issues with starting up all the way. For some background, this is a pretty old computer obviously, and has had its share of trouble already. It has had one battery die and one hard drive die. Lately, it has been sporadically over-heating and turning itself off. I wouldn't be surprised if my present dilemma is the result of multiple interacting problems, but I would really appreciate if anyone could help me out.
My laptop is set to hibernate when it's closed, and today when I opened it up it was just a black screen - not a black screen like the computer was off, but like the black screen shown during start-up when no words are shown. This wasn't alarming to me because I often have to turn the computer off via the power button and then turn it back on, because opening the screen sometimes doesn't seem to force it out of hibernation. But when I did it today, I started getting this problem.
If I press the power button and then do nothing, it goes through the initial boot stages and eventually comes to a "Windows failed to start" Windows Error Recovery screen, suggesting that I launch Startup Repair. If I do launch startup repair, I get to the "System Recovery Options" window but there are no operating systems listed. When I click "Next" I'm informed I must log in to access System Recovery Options, and then I'm forced to restart, repeating the process. On the other hand, if I select to Start Windows Normally, I get that same blank black screen.
I am able to access BIOS. Here's what I have tried so far -
1. Burning Lenovo Diagnostics (http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?&DocID=DS025448) to a bootable CD and attempting to run it on the T400. The T400 won't boot from the CD. I definitely burned it as an .iso file, and I sent the DVD-RAM drive up to the front of the boot order, and I also tried pressing F12 and selecting the drive specifically. I also changed SATA Controller Mode to "Compatability" - I don't know what that means, but I read it as a possible solution. No matter what I have tried, I hear some whirring from the CD drive during start-up, but then it stops and I end up at the same Windows Error Recovery screen.
2. HDD diagnostic program in BIOS. When I do this, the test doesn't progress at all and I get "Error code 0000: Read verification failed."
Any ideas? I've been thinking it may be time for a new laptop, but if there's a possibility of prolonging this laptop's life then I feel I might as well. Thanks in advance for your help.
Edit: Another thing I noticed is that a lot of people have T400 start-up issues due to a broken USB port. I do have a broken port, but I made sure that none of the pins are touching each other or either side. So I don't think that's the problem either.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That drive is going bad, and fast. Read verification failure usually indicates a rather deadly flaw.
You *might* be able to insert the drive into an USB enclosure and get the files from it on another PC, but it should be done sooner than later.
Time to start shopping for a new hard drive or SSD.
Good luck.

George

Intel My Wifi Technology on Lenovo Thinkpad T400 with Windows 7

I am running Access Connection 5.62 and is able to create a wifi connection using Intel My Wifi Technology with my laptop. Other wireless devices such as iphone and laptops are able to connect to this wifi and able to obtain an ip address. However, these devices cannot access the internet through this wifi connection.
I have the Intel Wifi Link 5300 AGN card for my laptop.
Anybody knows what is the problem?
Thanks.

New Elite ThinkPad X200 with integrated graphics

I was looking at the new X200 but I don't see why it's called the Elite or what the difference it between the standard X200. Maybe a fresh pair of eye will help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

"elite" models have higher minimum configurations compared to the normal X200s. otherwise they're the same machine.
if you configure a regular X200s to be the same as an elite, prices are completely identical.

T510 with discrete graphics and 65W AC adapter?

I realize the T510 + NVS 3100M comes with the 90W AC adapter. What happens if you plug the smaller 65W adapter into the unit?

Not much...
Case 1, battery is full:
Everything will run fine.
Case 2, battery is empty:
Everything will run fine, too.
However, in this case the notebook might speed down and it will take a long, long, long time to recharge the battery.
Case 3, no battery inserted:
The notebook might speed down.
Also in Case 3 the notebook theoretically could shutdown without notice. (If it doesn't get enough power.)
So, if you do so, I'd encourage you to use a full battery and not to overload the notebook with work. (Meaning not to run OpenCL simulations or so when using the 65W adapter...)
Regards, Moskito
