Dynadock No Ethernet Lenovo ThinkPad

I have a user at my company that has the Dynadock PA3575U-1PRP working on his Sony Vaio laptop, we just issued him a new Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E540 and everything on it works except for the Ethernet port, even after installing the latest drivers from the support section of this website. I have rebooted the dock and laptop itself multiple times but nothing seems to fix it. Also in Device Manager instead of "Unknown device" it shows a bunch of Asian characters.
Looking at his old laptop there are two Ethernet adapters installed (along with the typical Intel adapter), but I'm not sure which one is for the dock. I believe it's the Asix adapter, can someone confirm this for me?

  • Deploy Win8 on Lenovo Thinkpad 10

    Hello,
    Has anyone been able to capture and deploy Windows 8 64B on Lenovo Thinkpad 10? I have  a MDT 2013 and SCCM 2012 environment. Your guidance would be highly appreciated.
    Bchords

    1) How do you PXE boot after Syspreping to capture the image?
    Once you have captured your image (to a *.wim file) you will need a deployment system to deliver the *.wim image to machines either via a bootable USB Drive or as you mention a PXE Service. Microsoft offers three systems for installing operating systems
    via PXE:
    1. Via WDS on a Windows Server - bare bones, manual input,
    2. Via MDT Litetouch - More power and scripting.
    3. via SCCM - Maximum control of environments (not for beginners)
    It all depends on your environment, and what you need to get going. Too many variables to answer with a single question like this.
    2) Do you PXE using the ethernet port on the stand( tried this and it will go back to boot options while trying to download MDT WIM files) or a USB ethernet adapter?
    That will depend on the hardware Manufacturer. ON older BIOS systems, it would be required to have a built in Ethernet port. However with the new uEFI firmware systems, it's possible to load the network driver for an external, even 3rd party, USB to Ethernet
    adapter. However your hardware manufacturer may only include a few drivers within the Firmware for PXE booting. Check with Lenovo.
    Additionally, you can place the required drivers in MDT on the LitetouchPE_x??.wim boot WinPE, and copy to a bootable USB Flash driver to boot from the network. Here is what I use for booting my Surface Device without PXE:
    3) I've downloaded the drivers from http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds041477
    Addititionally if you have problems finding the right drivers for MDT:

  • Network connectivity problems on a Lenovo ThinkPad T60p

    Greetings,
    I am having connectivity problems with my Lenovo Thinkpad T60p. And I would really appreciate some help. 
    I know both ethernet connectivity and WiFi connectivity work because if I boot with different OS, I can access the network. So this is not a hardware problem. It is a software problem...
    I have uninstalled the existing Ethernet and Network drivers by removing them from:
    1. The Control Pannel -> Add/Remove programs
    2. The Control Pannel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager
    3. The directory level in C:/devices/win/ethernet etc.
    I have downloaded the drivers again. Re-installed. Same issues.  
    I see both card in The Control Pannel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager . The Wireless card is
    ok. The Ethernet card shows a yellow alert sign.
    At boot time I get a message indicating a service cannot be started but the the system logs show no related errors.
    As far as wireless, the network card appears, in the Network tab of the Windows Task Manager, but the status
    is "Non Operational". I can see the networks around me, but I cannot connect, even when there is no encryption. This might be the first one to fix, since it will give me mobility even if I sacrifice speed and open myself to hacking.
    As far as ethernet, I see the network card DOES NOT appear  in the Network tab of the Windows Task Manager, but as I mentionned before, I know that there is a problem with that.
    I hope someone can help me with this. The only other options I have are re-install the OS, install another one, or take the machine in for service, something I am reluctant to do, as I claim to be an IT professional for 30 years and that I can fix other people´s machines... 
    Thank you.
    Regards,
    Jean-Pierre

    Hello,
    The ThinkPad T60p (2007-8EU) looks like a decently-configured ThinkPad:
    2700(2.33GHz), 1GB RAM, 100GB 7200rpm HD, 14.1in 1400x1050 LCD, 256MB ATI FireGL V5200, CDRW/DVDRW, Intel 802.11abg wireless, Cingular WWAN, Bluetooth/Modem, 1Gb Ether, UltraNav, Sec Chip, FPR, 9c Li-Ion batt, WinXP Pro
    The TPM driver is used to communicate with the T60p's integrated security module.  You can download the latest version of the device driver from here on Lenovo's support site.  Although listed as being for Windows 2000, XP and Vista, I believe it works just fine under Microsoft Windows 7 as well.
    My working hypothesis is that removal of the third-party firewall damaged the network settings in Windows.  That's a problem that periodically comes up with the various security software packages from different vendors.
    What I would suggest at this point is the following:
    Check with the third-party firewall vendor to see if they offer a manual uninstallation program to uninstall the software.  Download that and run it per their instructions, booting into Safe Mode, if necessary.
    When that process is complete, try resetting the network stack by issuing a "NETSH INT IP RESET RESETLOG.TXT" command per Microsoft Knowledgebase Article # 299357 "How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)".  The article is applicable to Microsoft Windows XP SP3 and later.
    At this point, you should be free of any services, device drivers, NDIS intermediate drivers, WinSock LSPs or other objects from the third-party firewall software, and all network connections should be restored to their default values.

  • Lenovo ThinkPad T430s - first impressions and issues

    I bought ThinkPad T430s last week and just wanted to write down my thoughts, first impressions and the issues I ran into.
    I am very pleased with the laptop in terms of hardware - solid and nice build quality, understated style and (relatively) light weight. The screen is sharp, sound is good enough for me (I am no audiophile) and I am getting used to the chiclet keyboard - which feels just a little springy.
    But I am not pleased with the software. There is just too much bloatware on the system and some of it is hard to get rid of.
    SugarSync
    Evernote
    Lenovo MyCloud
    VeriSign VIP Access
    Intel AppUp
    and the biggest offender - Lenovo SimpleTap -- You can't get rid of the SimpleTap without uninstalling the individual apps first.
    It would be nice if the system showed a dialog box that said "Hey, here are some cool apps we highly recommend and you may want to look at", instead of pre-installing all these stupid apps.
    On top of that I ran into the Windows updates failing issue.
    So I ended up specnding 4+ hours just to get the system right.
    Lenovo and Microsoft need to understand that they need to deliver an excellent and functional experience to users and not push any stupid system that they have come up with just to make an extra buck.
    Look at Apple products. People love Apple products (I don't, but I do admire them) because of the simple and functional experience they provide.
    In short install just what is necessary. You can let users know that there are other goof programs but leave it up to the users.

    In fact that is exactly what I am going to do this weekend.
    I am in the middle of posting another message asking for recommendations and experience on the absolute minimum I can get away with.
    Right now I am thinking Windows 7, System Update and Power Manager.
    In my case, I installed the following:
    Windows 7
    Intel chipset drivers
    Intel WIFI driver (wifi driver only)
    Intel Ethernet driver
    Lenovo Power Management driver
    Lenovo Power Manager
    Optimus video drivers for Intel HD 4000 and NVIDIA 5200M
    RealTek audio driver - I think this also installed Dolby Home Theater v4
    Ricoh Media driver
    Lenovo Ultranav driver
    Webcam driver
    I don't install much more than that.  I like to manually check the download areas for updates so I don't install Lenovo ThinkPad System Update.

  • New to forum and opinions on the Lenovo T420 being my first Lenovo Thinkpad?

    First off thanks for letting me join.  Just wanted to get some opinions from some of the more experienced Lenovo owners and users.  I want to pick up the T420 as my first Lenovo Thinkpad.  What is the overall verdict on this laptop (Good build quality, reliability issues, or anything else I should be aware of)?  I use to own a IBM Thinkpad and just missed the overall layout of the Thinkpad specific look and functionality.  To date, the IBM Thinkpad has been my favorite Windows based laptop.  Any and all opinions would be deeply appreciated.
    May God bless!
    Ed

    I've only had my T420 for a couple of weeks but so far I really like it.  I reminds me of a mini version of the W520.  My T420 has the i7 processor, NVIDIA Optimus and most of the options.  I upgraded the RAM to 16GB and currently have the Intel Series 510 120GB SSD in the primary bay.  I am waiting for a Samsung Series 830 SSD to arrive.
    No complaints so far.  It runs nice, quiet and cool.
    If I were going to improve anthing on the machine, it would be the screen.  The 1600x900 AUO screen on mine is fair but I can live with it.  I bought this machine new on eBay for an excellent price.
    I am using the 6 cell battery right now and get a little over four hours of battery life. The 9 cell is quite a bit better but I like the flush lighter 6 cell.
    Love the keyboard.  The trackpad is fair but I haven't tweaked the Ultranav settings yet.  Been using a mouse mose of the time.
    I have several ThinkPads and I think the T420 is an excellent balance of power and features.  I am comparing it to my X301, T410s, T61p and W510.  I added a 34mm USB 3.0 ExpressCard (still testing).
    After my experience with the W520 random shutdowns, I won't be totally comfortable with this machine for a couple of months but it's looking really good so far.  I am optimistic.

  • Lenovo ThinkPad X1 and Dell U2711 / HDMI?

    Hello, 
    I plan to purchase the Dell U2711 monitor, it has a resolution of 2560 x 1440. 
    Will my Lenovo ThinkPad X1 handle this over the HDMI port?
    Thanks in advance,

    Not thru HDMI, but it will thru the mini-display port. You simply need a mini-display port to full size display port cable, something like this.

  • About Lenovo Thinkpad W540 for Music Production at a Professional Level

    Hey there! I just signed up to this blog in search for an answer to my quest. I've heard a lot of good things about Lenovo ThinkPad W540, and I would like to make sure that I am getting what I really need to stay up to date, in this everyday changing technological world, for a while before making a purchase.
    So far, this is what I got in my wish list:
    Intel Core i7-4700MQ Processor (6MB Cache, up to 3.40GHz)
    Windows 7 Professional 64
    15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080) LED Backlit Anti-Glare Display, Mobile Broadband Ready
    W540 NVIDIA Quadro K1100M 2G
    16GB PC3-12800 DDR3L (4 DIMM)
    500GB Hard Disk Drive, 7200rpm
    DVD Recordable
    Intel Dual Band Wireless 7260AC with Bluetooth 4.0
    1 Year Depot or Carry-in
    I would like to know what are the major differences between the above items, which I have in my wish list, and the ones below:
    1) Intel Core i7-4930MX Processor (8MB Cache, up to 3.90GHz)
    2)15.5” 3K (2880 x 1620), IPS LED Backlit Anti-Glare Display, Mobile Broadband Ready, Color Sensor
    3) W540 NVIDIA Quadro K2100M 2G
    4) 32GB PC3-12800 DDR3L (4 DIMM)
    5) I would like a 1TB hard drive but they don't come at 7200 rpm, i guess the one in my wish list works fine.
    6) Do I need a more sophisticated Optical Drive from the  DVD Recordable in my wish list?
    I guess whay I am trying to investigate is if I can function in the music production world with a Thinkpad  W 540 with the specs already in my wish list? And, what difference would it make updating this machine with the specs below. Your assistance and comments will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

     Hi ColonellONeill, thank you for taking your time in attempt to solve my problems.
    Temperatures varies, but it never reached to unbearably hot.
    Shutdown warning: for the last couple of times, I did got the blue screen warning (that windows had problem and will restart after collecting the necessary information) on my Helix and hanged display on my external monitor. Otherwise, most of the time, there isn't warning at all.
    I doubt if there is anything to do automatic windows update as I have scheduled it every morning at 3 'O' clock! Sometimes it works from weeks to couple of months without even noticing any of these technical problems but then when it starts, it stays for weeks; it just comes and goes - never been able to resolve the issues completely; even the technician.
    (It just happend right now! and this time wihtout even warning, and Helix wasn't even running 30 minutes - temperature is normal, I can feel it's little warm.)
    Currently I am using my Helix with Thinkpad USB 3 dock connected to external Monitor with wired keyboard and mouse connected back at the dock.

  • I get an error message when trying to connect my iphone to a lenovo thinkpad

    I cannot get my Iphone to work on the Lenovo Thinkpad edge 520, when I connect the phone it brings up an error saying there was a problem loading the device. In the control panel I get a yellow exclamatin mark next to the mobile usb device. I tried to update the OS of the phone and the driver on the laptop, and uninstalled the viris program.

    The iPhone will NOT pair with any computer via bluetooth with the expetion being for tethering an internet connection.  This has NEVER been a feature of the iPhone or any iOS device.

  • Lenovo Thinkpad 8 Wifi driver for Windows 10?

    I've installed Windows 10 Technical Preview on my Lenovo Thinkpad 8. It's been working pretty nicely, except for one thing: the Broadcom Wifi card driver (Broadcom BCM4324 Wireless LAN Driver). Since this doesn't work I have to use a USB antenna.
    This driver has gotten no update since the release of the Thinkpad 8! I tried running it in "Windows 8 compatibiliy mode" and that still doen't work. Does anŷone know of a possible way to make it work (either with an update, or an older driver in compatibility mode)? Any idea or suggestion (or word from Broadcom) is welcome!

    I had the same problem and installed the Win 8.1 version of the driver.
    First deinstall the microsoft driver, download the driver from http://support.lenovo.com/<xx>/<xx>/products/tablets/thinkpad-tablet-series/thinkpad-8/?tabName=Down...
    replace <xx> by your language code. eg. en (my language code was de)
    look for Broadcom BCM4324 Wireless LAN Driver for Windows 8.1 (32-bit) - ThinkPad 8 or (64-bit in case)
    Start the installer and you're done.

  • HP Color Laserjet Pro MFP M277 will not install on Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Windows 7 64 bit

    I tried to install printer driver software for my completely new HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP on my Lenovo ThinkPad X1 laptop. Lenovo runs on Windows 7 64 bit. The installation failed during Installation preparation (77% complete). The process stopped saying an error occured without indication of the cause of the error. I have tried installion both from the CD following the printer product and downloading from the HP web, with the same result. I then then turned on my old computer, a Dell Precision M2400 with Windows XP. The installation went perfect without problems on this computer. Is there a bug in the SW for Windows 7 (64), or is some part of the printer SW sensitive to HW variaton between PC companies even if the OS is the same?

    I have the same problem with my Lenovo ThinkPad T420 running Windows 7 64 bit.  Tried absolutely everything I could find on the blogs and nothing worked.  To me, seems like a software problem (glaring, given the popularity of Lenovos and the Windows 7 64 bit systems).  Returning the printer tomorrow and will not buy another HP printer.

  • Lenovo ThinkPad Helix 369847B touch pad stops working after re-docking screen

    Hi, I've been having problems with the touchpad on my Lenovo ThinkPad Helix 369847B.  If I un-dock the screen to use in tablet mode and then re-dock with the keyboard, the touchpad might not work (no mouse, no left or right click), but the screen and keyboard still work. The same also happens (sometimes) if I sleep the machine by closing the screen then  re-opening.  Can't find a way to get the touchpad to work again, other than a restart, which is quite frustrating. Tried removing the screen, resetting the keyboard with a paperclip and re-docking - but no luck. Can anyone please tell me how to get the machine to recognise the touchpad again, without having to do a reboot?   Or any way to stop this happening? Machine stats:Lenovo ThinkPad Helix 369847BWindows 8.1 Pro 64-bit Also the machine is fully updated via Lenovo System Update & Windows update + latest keyboard firmware. Thanks Christopher

    hi paul_peria,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    Can you try Opening Device Manager and open Human interface Devices
    Uninstall everything that starts under with "HID-"
    If your are not done uninstalling all and it asked for a restart choose restart later then continue uninstalling the one's that starts with HID-
    Then Restart your system, check if the touch functionality works.
    Can you also check under System Properties windows if it shows touch input detected

  • I can scroll down web pages with my Lenovo ThinkPad X200. I could, but then I got some updates and it doesn't work. I can scroll fine with an external mouse. I just can't use the "scroll controls" on my laptop. Any ideas why? It's frustrating!

    When I got my machine two years ago and loaded Firefox, I could scroll with the red button that's on the keyboard of the Lenovo ThinkPad x200. Then, a few months ago, Firefox was updated. Not sure which version. And, now I can't scroll. The keypad scroll works in MS Windows programs. It just doesn't work in Firefox. I can't get anywhere with the options so I'm stuck for now. (The scrolling works in Internet Explorer). So, I think it's something that going on with FireFox not with my computer.

Can you zip up your composition folder, upload it to your Creative Cloud files, set it to share, and then post a link here so I can download it? If you'd rather not share it publicly, can you PM me with a link to your composition files?

  • [SOLVED] Bumblebee: Failed to initialize GPU with Lenovo ThinkPad W530

    SOLVED: See post #20
    After years, I decided to come back to the wonderful distro, Arch and back to the forums. Yay!
    However, I installed Arch to my new laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad W530 and it uses NVIDIA Quadro K1000M alongside Intel graphics with Optimus technology. Arch is running fine, but I cannot run applications through optirun and I get:
