Display problems with lenovo T410 with Nvidia NVS 3100M
Hi,
I am having terrible video display quality in my new T410 with Nvidia 3100M graphics card. While playing SD and HD videos, I get very poor display quality, shadows and broken pixels . I have taken these screen shots to show the issue. I have tried playing HD videos from players and online streaming from Vimeo, but all seem to have same issue.

I can confirm that the quality of the videos is not flawed as I have played same videos on other non HD displays and they look much better. I also have up to date drivers for nvidia. I hope someone can help me improve the display quality of my laptop as it is a major inconvenience. The problem is mostly with video only as images are displayed much better.
Thanks!
What are you using to play the videos?
Edit: Didn't read propely: "I have tried playing HD videos from players and online streaming from Vimeo, but all seem to have same issue."
Have you tried VLC? Unlike alot of other players it takes care of the decoding itself. Other players might all use the same decoder.

Hi, I have a Thinkpad T410. I bought it with integrated graphics card. Now i want to upgrade to the other one: Graphics: NVIDIA NVS 3100M with 256MB DDR3. Is that possible? thanks a lot
You'd have to replace the motherboard.
A better solution would probably be to get an eGPU; it's way way way faster.

Display problems in Mail messages with image attachment
Issue: Seeing intermittent display problems in Mail messages with image attachments
Annoyance level: minor, but Apple techs need to pass it along
Details: Regardless of mail client sending to iPhone (Outlook, OWA, Yahoo, Gmail) there are intermittent and what appear to be random occurrances of the pic being half rendered and/or the pic never loading (followed by message saying it can't be retrieved from server). In some instances the picture then appears fully rendered without a problem. Note: Image sizes varied from 14KB to 450KBHi,
I'm not familiar with C#, but if possible try the following:
1. Removing all thead and tbody tags from the body of the message.
2. Changing all inline CSS to embedded CSS.
I've seen a user said the message stopped showing up after making the changes.
If the issue persists, please note, since Outlook 2007, Outlook opens the HTML Email and converts it to Microsoft Word format before displaying it to the user. What happens during this process is that many CSS attributes and HTML support is completely removed.
Some of the most notable absences are background-image, and padding and margin support. Hardly can we do much about this, so the message "If there are problems with how this email is displayed, click here to view it in a web browser" is actually
a good workaround when we face this problem.

Xorg.conf for T510 + NVIDIA NVS 3100M
Can you send me, or point me to a website with a working and well tuned xorg.conf for T510 + NVIDIA NVS 3100M.
I've had a few problems creating one myself and I am sure that many people have good working X configurations.
I am using Kubuntu 11.04.For me this works great, just add or replace this section in your xorg,conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Default Device"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"
Option "Coolbits" "1"

T510 w/ NVIDIA NVS 3100M -- Window 7 not recognizin​g discrete graphics card
Hi --
I just got a T510 w/ discrete graphics card, ie, the NVIDIA NVS 3100M w/ 512mb of dedicated video memory.
However, when I look in "Performance Information and Tools" under the "View and print detailed performance and system information", I see the graphics as "Intel(R) HD Graphics". Under the "Graphics" section I see this:
Graphics
Display adapter type
NVIDIA NVS 3100M
Total available graphics memory
1696 MB
Dedicated graphics memory
64 MB
Dedicated system memory
0 MB
Shared system memory
1632 MB
Display adapter driver version
8.17.12.5738
Primary monitor resolution
1920x1080
DirectX version
DirectX 10
This is a bit confusing, because now it says the adapter is NVIDIA, but the dedicated memory is only 64 MB. Seems odd as I should have 512MB?
ThanksI'm fairly certain you can force Optimus to be discrete only or integrated onlyin the BIOS or in some of the Power Manager settings. Otherwise, you can try loading DirectX and seeing what dxdiag tells you about your graphics card.
In addition, Lenovo's implementaiton of Optimus seems to allow you to run certain programs on the IGP and other programs on the discrete chip simultaneously, so it may simply be allocating the Windows benchmark thread to the IGP instead of the NV chip, thereby causing the flawed readings. Don't know exactly how one forces a process to run using the discrete GPU though.

Drivers for Nvidia NVS 3100M?
Hello,
which driver is recommended for NVS 3100 in T510? Latest driver from Nvidia site, or latest drivers from Lenovo?
I think they are not same.
Thank youI tried to install latest driver from nVidia website and there was no problem, so I think it has to be problem on Lenovos side.
So, what can I do right now? Is there any chance that they will fix this?
I dont want to use latest nVidia drivers because I got "driver stop responding" error yesterday. It had recovered, but there was some kind of grafic bug (i got lots of white pixels on screen) so I had to restart my computer.. -
New T410 with NVIDIA NVS 3100m Optimus switchable graphics
Does anyone know how to enable the switchable graphics feature on these machines.
Hi ts4673!
The beauty of Optimus is that switching occurs automatically. It is enabled by default, and automatically optimizes the choice of graphics processor, so you don't have to worry about managing the switchable graphics.
If you want to temporarily override Optimus' choice for an application, right click on the application and choose (assuming the context menu is enabled). You can set your choice permanently using the Nvidia Control Panel.
Hope this helps!

Strange display problem on the Internet with jpgs
Hi,
For some time now I have problems with jpgs on some Internet sites. They don't show up properly. But only on this MAC, every other computer is ok. Here is a screencap of what I see:
http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php?thread_id=2690530
It happens only on specific websites but now it also happens on MY OWN website (http://www.patrickeischen.com)! I didn't change a thing on this page, it was ok 'til now.
I use Firefox & Safari. Can anybody please help me?
Message was edited by: Danielle KampHi Danielle:
Cant use the link to your screencap, -wants login info.
What do the jpgs look like? Sometimes I get a small square and question mark on some webpages where images should show but I just fault the webpage, or internet. Sometimes a reload works.
Sounds like a software glitch on your PM G5, Have you repaired permissions recently?

Date Picker display problems on same line with no new field
With version 3.1.1 the attempted display of two date fields side by side appear stacked in the same column with the labels in between instead of side by side. This works fine with version 1.6.
Create a page with 2 Date Picker items. Call the first one P1_DATE_FROM and the second one P1_DATE_TO. For P1_DATE_TO set the "Begin on new line" attribute to NO and the "Field" attribute to NO then display the page.
The resulting display will be shown as:
Line 1: Box for Date From value with date picker icon
Line 2: Labels for both Date From and Date To with only a single space between
Line 3: Box for Date To value with date picker icon
The resulting display should be:
Line 1: Label for Date From, Box for Date From with date picker icon, Label for Date To, Box for Date To with date picker icon.
If you set the "Field" attribute to YES then the fields will appear on the same line in separate columns. I am trying to leave the second column available for and additional column of items in order to reduce the vertical scrolling on the page.
If you repeat the above example with Text fields instead of Date Picker fields the desired result is achieved.You are correct that saying "Yes" to the field attribute will allow the items to format properly however this will push the second field into the second column on the page. I am purposely trying to keep these 2 items in the first column so that I can place a third item in the second column.
I have tried using the "Start and Stop HTML table" feature to work around this but I can't control the alignment of the margins for the items above and below the start and stop item which make the display of the region even worse.
Any other ideas or suggestions for work arounds would be appreciated. -
Just to share GREAT Experience with Lenovo Service with T61p one long two short beeps
Two weeks ago my laptop just suddenly died for no reason. It was in sleep mode and never woke up. I have researched some forums and found that the best thing to do is try to call the number of Lenovo service. I cannot remember it right now, but please check another thread t61p and one long two short beeps. The laptop was out of warranty and according to lenovo site it was 31. July was the last day for replacement claims, however nobody asked a question regarding warranty or replacement. Lenovo sent the box promptly and whole turnaround was in 3 days.
I was really surprised with efficiency and service.
So, if you are in the same situation please give it a try.
Good Luck!I have used support service a few times and they have always been professional and helpful the support center in Ga. I called last night for my wireless card its on the way to me now I've never had any problems

Anyone know of which the correct driver is during install for this particular video card, only managed to find one other post about it and it didn't really seem to fit.
Google says it's a Quatro, so I would go w/ the regular nvidia + nvidia-utils.
Wrong drivers won't damage your card, they simply won't work. -
T410 - Install NVIDIA & Intel HD drivers, or just install Optimus drivers?
Hi Folks,
I'm entirely confused about which drivers I should install. Do I install NVIDIA and Intel HD drivers separately? Or, do I just install Optimus drivers when they come out? Or do I install all 3?
thanks,

NVIDIA NVS Graphic adapter support KVM-Intel AMT/vPro?
Hi there,
I have a Thinkpad T410, Intel core i7, Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 AGN and the NVIDIA NVS 3100m Graphic adapter, I asked to Intel and that adapter does not support KVM:
http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/showthread.php?t=78585&o=a&s=lr
I need to use KVM and I cannot understand why if the Lenovo product review shows the NVIDIA adapter supports AMT why it acually does not support KVM, so it does not really support AMT (it's just a partial support):
http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/showthread.php?t=76173
So, I'm forced to lose a good NVIDIA graphic card for an integrated one, the question is: can I change to Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 57000MHD-AMT? -it's a cheaper one-
Help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi javiercaceres!
According to the Hardware Maintenance Manual, it's part of the system board, so the graphics adapter can't be swapped out.

Lenovo t410 BIOS update for win 8.1
hi
I want to upgrade my BIOS, but there is no update available for bios in windows 8.1.. My Bios version is 1.18, I want to update because i read somewhere that if your fan make noise make sure you have updated BIOS :A.. I want to know if I can install "BIOS update for win 8" in my lenovo t410 with windows 8.1..
thanks everyone for helping..
sorry any mistake in english, I am from Kosova <3
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hello.
The Windows BIOS upgrade isn't OS specific, it runs on all OS's between XP-Win8.1, even if it doesn't list 8.1 specifically.
You can either update it manually, using the update here:
BIOS Update Utility for ThinkPad T410, T410i
Or make a bootable CD/USB with the ISO file here:
BIOS Update Bootable CD for ThinkPad T410, T410i
Either way works like a charm on a Windows 8.1 machine, but be aware of the risks involved in updating your BIOS.
Good luck!

How much time the Lenovo T410 battery lasts?
I have a new Lenovo T410 with a 4 cel Li-Ion battery.
The battery takes 2 hours charging (it charges while I'm working in high performance) and it discharges in 1 hour (working in high performance).
Is rigth that battery life for a just purchased laptop? I guess it is not.
Does the standard 1 year warranty cover the battery?
Thanks!The battery isn't covered under the warranty unless it is physically defective. In high performance mode I can drain a 9cell in less then 2hours so getting an hour from a 4 cell is pretty good. You may want to try adaptive performance and let the system throttle down when it can, this should squeek out another 40mins or so even with the same usage and usally about the same performance feel.. There are very few things short of playing a video game which would require forcing the system into high performance.
