Disable Lenovo G550 Low Power Beep

I own a Lenovo G550 laptop and although many issues are bareable, the low power beeping is not. I believe it is a setting in the BIOS that controls the annoying noise. In Windows 7, muting the speaker/headphone volume was enough, but in Linux it is not. Is there any BIOS update or settings within the BIOS that I can change to disable this beeping?
BIOS: 18CN33WW (V2.06) (08/21/2009)
As shown by lshw command in Linux.

Unpack the exe package with 7Zip and edit the config file if you have one. Read carefully inside it about flags (for example: make a backup for current BIOS, reboot/halt, erase CMOS).
I'm against BIOS updates under Windows enviroment. So, you can search on Google how to make a BIOS flashing using a pendrive/dvdr under DOS enviroment.

  • How do you disable the LOUD low battery beep on Envy M6 laptops?

    I bought TWO HP Envy M6-1105dx laptops for Black Friday (Too late to return them now). I have spent days and hours speaking with HP tech support, case managers, supervisors, corporate office and senior case managers and it all seems to be the same. "Theres nothing we can do for you, theres nothing wrong." Well, HP is wrong. There is a problem when I listen to your tech suport to change settings, update BIOS and spend hours out of my day to "attempt" to  fix one of your design flaws. Want to know why this beep is a problem? Im a law student. We use our laptops all day for typing notes in class, homework assignments, 4 hour in-class exams (all on the computer) and for work in the library. It is absurd to think that you would sell me $1400.00 worth of computers and expect me to "deal" with a problem that literally scares professors, classmates and others in this type of quiet setting when a loud smoke-detector sounding beep rings through the room. How embarrasing! You just better hope that one day someone, child or adult, is not seriously injured by the reaction to this "smoke detector" alarmingly loud sounding beep. {Content Removed}If anyone else can come up with another solution to fix please help, since everything posted so far has not worked. Thank you!

  • Disable low power wake?

    Hi everybody,
    is there any way to disable low power wake? Unfortunately, it causes a lot of problems, e.g. TeamViewer, Rowmote, EyeTV refuse to work properly after Wake on LAN because the screen is not turned on again. It's a very annoying feature, especially on my Mac mini which I use as HTPC. If there is no fix or no update coming, I will have to go back to Snow Leopard.
    Thanks in advance

  • Lenovo G550 AC disables when battery is connected

    I am having an odd issue with my lenovo G550. When I have the battery connected it will charge for a few seconds and then the AC will disconnect. I have tried discharging, then rebooting with just the AC and that works fine. It will not boot with the battery even though there is some power in the battery and it will boot with the battery and AC. I had tried getting another battery as well, but the same issue happend. Any ideas?

  • Lenovo G550, power supply

    Hi, i have lenovo G550, when i start laptop, it works good, after 15-20 mins, power supply starts rotating for about one minute, after that , a small pause about 3-5 mins, and starts again, so from this time power supply begin rotating for every 3-4 mins .
    I have a program that controls a processor's and hdd's emperature , hdd's temperature moves from 30 - 41  C , never higher, CPU's temperature when arrive 43-44 C , power supply starts working  and when temperature of CPU arrive 33 C , power supply stop working (blowing) , so laptop never stop working.
    My question is : Is this normal work of laptop, or my laptop isn't OK ???
    Sorry for my bad english .

    To get to the power jack, you are removing most every screw on the case. Remove the panel above keyboard that houses power button, then there are more screws beneath it. Then you can get to hinges, unscrew them, find another screw at each hinge after hinge is out of the way. Also unfasten the keyboard, but don't rip it out, to find a couple more screws underneath the keyboard. And finally you can take the two halves of the case apart well enough and get in to disconnect the power jack. The DVD drive will slide out, no screws attaching it. The wiring for the power jack goes to a location by the memory where it attaches to the motherboard. I disconnected the cable by the memory and pulled it through easily.
    Should take a week for the part to arrive to me. Crossing fingers that the whole trouble is this and nothing else. Found other thread here that talks about securing the jack better: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Value-line/G550-power-connector-is-this-a-weak-point/td-...
    Clearly there is a fault in the design of this laptop model, I think, when many people are having the same fatal issue.
    Also, now that I think of it: if you wanted to test if this was the problem for you laptop without the trouble of disassembling everything, you could easily disconnect the power jack by removing the memory cover and unplugging it there; then plug in a replacement power jack (which you'd need to order) and test. If all works, you could then go through the bother of taking everything apart (or finding someone to do it).

  • Lenovo G550 Power Jack Broken

    Over the last week my G550's power jack has become less and less reliable and  eventually stopped charging the laptop at all.
    I've seen several discussions about this being a problem but no actual instructions or pictures on how to get access to the motherboard.
    Does anyone know anything else about this problem?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Lenovo G550 Windows 7 Professional Upgrade

    This Notice refers to 2958-A5U and 2958-A4U models of the Lenovo G550 notebook PC’s only.
    The 2958-A5U and 2958-A4U G550 systems ship preloaded with Windows XP Professional, and include a Windows 7 Professional upgrade disk.  
    Issue: When upgrading from Windows XP Professional to Windows 7, some users have been unable to successfully complete the upgrade.  The most commonly reported failure point is when the customer is asked to insert a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) key. The Microsoft Upgrade process for Win XP to Win7 requires the upgrade to be executed from a ‘cold boot’. If the Windows 7 DVD is inserted while the system is running, the installation process will auto run. However, at the end of the installation process, the system will ask for a 25-key Certificate of Authenticity (COA). The Win7 upgrade process will not successfully finish the installation using this method. The installation DVD must be inserted while the machine is powered off and not running.
    When upgrading from Windows XP Professional to Windows 7, Microsoft advises that this process be done via a custom ‘clean’ installation.  Per Microsoft.com; "A custom (clean) installation erases the contents of your PC's hard drive. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7".  The clean install will remove any pre-loaded software applications, including VeriFace, One Key Recovery, and other applications that were installed by Lenovo or the user. 
    Customers should review the following information prior to performing the Windows 7 Professional upgrade.
    The Windows 7 installation procedure provides a clean installation of Windows 7 Professional edition. During this process, all contents of the C: drive including all applications, files, programs and user data will be archived in the Windows.old folder.  The data should be available for access, but the applications and programs will not run, and Windows 7 appropriate versions will need to be installed. Lenovo STRONGLY recommends that external backups or all user data are made prior to initiating the upgrade in order to prevent permanent data loss.
    Correct Windows 7 Upgrade Procedure:
    1) Power off system
    2) Insert Windows 7 disk in the DVD drive
    3) Power on system and press F12 to access the boot order menu
    4) Select the option to start from the DVD / Optical drive
    5) Follow the on screen directions as Windows 7 installs
    6) Remove the DVD at the end of the process and reboot to Windows 7
    Windows 7 has native drivers that will fully support most of the hardware on Lenovo G550 systems.  In order to maximize the functionality of the Trackpad and the Power Management system, the appropriate Lenovo drivers must be installed. The most current Lenovo Windows 7 drivers and applications are available for download here. Please check this site periodically for updates. 
    Recovering to Windows XP by using One Key Recovery:
    The One Key Recovery feature can restore the factory XP downgrade preload at any time, but will erase all other data. 
    Important: All user data should be saved prior to implementing the following procedure
          1) Power off the system
    2) Press the recovery button (small round button next to the power button)
    3) System will start and OKR (one key recovery) application will load
    4) Select System Recovery from the menu
    5) Select option to Restore to factory default 
    6) Click “Start” button to recover your system partition
    Cheers and regards,

    The recovery disk set is supposed to have an SLP key embedded, so that you do not need to activate it, as long as the disk set matches the OS version that is nominated on the COA attached to the laptop.
    If it really does say "windows 7 ultimate", then there is something odd going on. Can you please double check that it says "ulitimate"?
    With Windows 7 licening issues and keys, the terminology needs to be quite exact to get to the best answer for you!

  • LENOVO G550 DC-T4500 Tragedy, Internal crack on LCD screen

    Well i am new to this forum and when i was looking for ‘Lenovo customer service’ on Google, i realised that there are many people in the same boat as me.
    Well i never imagined this to happen to me, but the fact is it has happened. I purchased a new ‘LENOVO G550 DC-T4500’ which is a new laptop by Lenovo at a very low price. Well i had a low budget and was thinking of getting a small netbook, but then I saw this Lenovo ad at center.com and went and purchased it from them on 11th November 2010. I got the laptop in my office and kept it there for a week. Finally after 7 days i took it home. I did not use it instantly because I had to setup many things like Microsoft office etc and just didn’t get the time to do that. Finally after 7 days I opened it up and installed Microsoft office. I used it for like 2 hours. The next day i opened the laptop and then was trying to set the internet, and after an hour the laptop screen went blank. I did not use it even for 4 complete hours. I gave it back to center.com and they asked me whether i dropped it. Well the fact is i never dropped it. It was used just like for four hours in total. I don’t have kids or pets in my house. I stay with my husband and we both are old enough to handle laptops. Well this crack was not an external crack on the screen but an internal crack on the LCD screen. Now isn’t that weird that there is no crack on the laptop but a cack developed on the LCD screen and they say that it has been dropped. Now i don’t know how to prove that i did not drop the laptop, but the real truth is that i never did anything to the laptop for it to develop that internal crack. When i returned it back to center.com i returned it with complete packing because all this time when the laptop was with me it was packed and i opened it up after 7 days and used it for 4 just hours in total.
    Center.com told us that Lenovo has rejected the warranty in this case and gave me a number for lenovo’s customer service department. I called up lenovo’s customer service department for like 4 days. Each time a different person answered the phone and gave me different answers. Some said we are looking into it. Finally they made me go crazy then finally one person called and said the same thing, he is looking into the case. After few days he sent an email and said that they can’t help and the crack cannot develop on its own and if I have to get it repaired I have to pay like almost the same amount as that of the laptop. This is ridiculous, absolutely disappointing.
    Well even if Lenovo does not help me i would like to tell all those people who are reading this, buying a laptop from Lenovo and then going through all the pain for no mistake of yours is the worst thing that can ever happen to a customer. And no matter how big this company is, but the fact is that they are not worth it. I pray this does not happen to anyone else. I felt cheated and hurt. I will never ever recommend anyone to buy a laptop from Lenovo.

    first let me say that I am in know way implying that you broke your screen but you can crack the LCD screen without causing damage to the case you can set something on it and cause a pressure crack pressure from your fingers can crack it  as for internal external it appears to be internal because the clear plastic on the outside does not crack like glass there had to be some kind of force to crack the screen they just don't brake they go out from time to time as in no video but not crack

  • Lenovo G550 puking rainbow colors in the middle of the screen

    Okay, so as the title says -- and, yes, I am serious -- the screen of my sister's Lenovo G550 has vertical stirps of colors grouped in the middle of the screen. the background is somewhat similar to the background color of the usualy Windows 7 start-up. But what scared me when I saw it was the fact that upon pressing the power button, the lenovo start-up screen did not show instead it just looked like an old tv closing down. The thing is, it was fine yesterday when my sister was using it. Then all of a sudden when she opened it this morning, the screen showed that. If it were degenerative, then I guess it might take a while and not so sudden right?
    Please, if anyone can help, please reply to this thread the soonest you can.
    Thank you. (:

    It doesn't. My sister gave me additional information: When she opened it this morning, it was fine then the screen turned white that's when the problem started. A while ago, we removed the battery pack and let it stand for a while. Suddenly, we saw a hazy picture of my sister's screen before it all went crazy. I really don't know what happened. It shouldn't just go crazy without a reason right? I mean, if the lcd were to fail, it would not fail suddenly but instead it would fail over time (my brother's lcd -- same laptop -- has white horizontal streaks on the screen).
    Edit: Just tried on an external LCD and it works. It just doesn't work on her laptop's LCD. Do you know why it suddenly konked out?

  • Lenovo G550 does not charge properly.

    Well, hello everyone.
    I have been experiencing a problem with my Lenovo G550 lately. It doesn't charge properly and at most cases, I have to charge it when it's turned off. When I start up my laptop and as soon as I get to the Windows login screen (or not even up to the loading screen), the power LED starts to blink. I log in to see the laptop not charging. I have tried everything you'd usually do such as, turning the laptop off and on after awhile, removing the battery and putting it in after a few minutes or maybe even an hour, check the charger, take the charger in and out of the laptop and even letting the laptop rest for awhile without the charger or battery in. Sometimes even after all that, it seems like it still doesn't charge. Sometimes it does charge when turned on, although, only charges for a few minutes and stops charging. Even when switched off, sometimes, it doesn't charge properly either.
    If you know anything that would fix this, a suggestion or if you know why I'm having this problem, please reply to this.
    Ah, silly little computer.

    I have a friends laptop hoping to fix a common issue (or as I thought) of a broken power adapter socket. Without the battery in place when you plug the ac adapter in you get no lights and when you press the power button nothing happens.
    Upon disassembly and also with the use of the internet I found that Lenovo actually has a nice setup where the yellow socket is removable retained by a single screw, with a pigtail and plug for the main board. So I pin tested the plug using an ohm meter and it tested good. Then I reattached the plug to the motherboard and tested it using the ac adapter and got 20V between both blue and black terminals. Then flipped the board over and I got the same results on the pins on the back of the board so power is getting to the solder points. But that is where the trail went cold.
    Anyone have any ideas? I won't recommend her to buy a new motherboard at this point of even go to the expense of having it checked out which would exceed the value of this unit.
    I am thinking there is a voltage regulator somewhere in between the battery and the mainboard power that might be the cause but that is above my electronic prowess.
    One thing I can say is if this is not a simple fix I will guide her to look to another brand for a replacement. I have it stripped down to the mainboard and tempted to reassemble it to see if it really does charge the battery but just doesn't let you know via the charge lamp. I do know it won't run without the battery pack which has a little power left but saving it for now.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,

  • Lenovo G550 Keyboard not Working.... Can't log in to the system...

    Hi, I am using Lenovo G550 Model. Yesterday, I started facing this problem. When I tried to login, none of the keys worked. When I pressed Backspace, it started typing something. I tried to use on screen keyboard, which did not help either. Same problem persists with on screen keyboard as well. I, even, tried using an USB external keyboard & the same problem is there too. Kindly help me!!!

    hi Avikiru,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    Can you try,
       Remove the AC and the Battery
           Hold the Power Button down for at least 15 sec.
                  Reconnect just the AC and see if that'll work
    If not You can contact a Lenovo Support Team or a Local Technician to have the Keyboard connection checked.

  • Lenovo G550 processor upgrade

    I am upgrading a Lenovo G550 that I purchased a few years ago for my wife. So far I was able to install 8GB or RAM and a 500GB HDD with no issues. However when I tried to upgrade the processor, the laptop would not power up. It will turn on and the lights will indicate that the HDD is on and the battery is on, but I do not get the Lenovo splash screen. I hear my fan going but nothing happens. Only a black screen. I purchased an Intel Core 2 Duo processor P7550 (2.26GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 3MB L2 Cache) based on the speciation sheet below. I was wondering if anyone might know where I could find any documentation that specifically lists what CPUs are compatible with the Lenovo G550. Ideally I'd like to install the best processor it will take. Thank you.

    hi there,
    I haven't seen a G550 with a Intel Core 2 Extreme Mobile QX9300 CPU but if you bought it working from a G550 laptop or it has a lenovo FRU on it then it may work (it'll also good if you can return the item just in case it doesn't work).
    In addition, take note that the QX9300 has a max TDP of 45W, whereas the CPU's listed in this pdt datasheet are only 35W so the motherboard might not take the heat if the QX9300 reaches it's peak usage.
    Also, I've looked into some additional details and these are the CPU's that are tested to work with the G550.

  • Lenovo G550 EISA partition problem

    Hello,
    I have Lenovo G550 whit Windows Vista Home Basic(bay it whit this OS and whithuot Recovery CD).
    By mistake i delete eisa partition when installing MacOSx.After that I restore all files from EISA partition to my other partition.
    So my question is -can i somehow recreate this partition to be able recover my original windows and software and
    be able to use again this button near to the power buton .
    thaks
    p.s : sorry for my english !

    there are about 113 backup wsi file, the one with number 34 seems damaged. for factory backups there's another issue with it. did you make any changes on volumes? cause if you did, one key recover and one key recover button will stop working.
    in normal circumstances, eisa part is not visible. i'm not sure if it works if you copy files to usb.
    if windows vista installed, run one-key recover 6.0.
    already got backups, skip "back up" otherwise click that.
    select full backup, quick compression and next >
    choose the path or leave it default and next >
    and start.
    after back up ends, restart the application one-key recover 6.0
    click "create recovery disc" and next >
    select the backup you have and next>
    this screen will tell you how much cd or dvd you need, min 2 dvd or 8cd, max 7 dvd or 28 cd. and next>
    insert the blank cds or dvds into driver and wait until done.
    you may need the system image, you can lose your back-up cd, or cds may not working after a while, so , i still recommend that you keep the original copy or more than one backup.
    size of recovery cd depens on how much size of disk space you use. its up 2-7 dvd or 4-28 cd.
