Enabling the webcam in lenovo g530

hi - i've downloaded and installed all the xp drivers for the lenovo g530 and they're all working and recognised by xp in the device manager. i was particularly pleased to see that finally i had got the correct drivers for the webcam and it's registered in the device manager under the imaging devices section, but it still does not come on. i've tried the esc-fn, but that does absolutely nothing. i've been working on this bloody machine for 3 complete days now and am ready to take it back and demand something else. please could someone guide me on this as it's driving me nuts.
many thanks

un-install the camera drivers, restart your computer and install it again.
by the way, make sure the function keys are working.

You need a SIM card AND a WWAN card. In brief, your SIM card authorizes you to connect to your wireless provider's network. The WWAN card contains the electronics which connect to your provider's network. Your X300 does not have a WWAN card. Some X300 configurations do.

Need an answer Lenovo G530 laptop.. The support line doesnt work in my country..

Hi, first i live In Israel and i've called the main support line and they told me they dont deal with my laptop and directed me to the ones who do > their phone is offline all day (when they should be *working* between 9 am to 5 pm). I've called them before a few years ago and they gave me much help. Hopefully some one in charge can give me a working phone number for support.
I have a lenovo g530 laptop, its overall nice and i got it as a gift few years ago. Its been bugging me for a long time tho.
My questions that i've been thinking of for years:
-I've downloaded the BIOS drivers from the driver page and after installing them on all: windows xp, windows vista, windows 7 they caused a BSOD (blue screen of death) and i had to re-format my computer and re-install windows. So my question how exactly can i install the BIOS without crashing my system? My Bios have been at 1.0 for a long time..
Second, you might just say 'no' you cant right away but...
-This laptop runs on an imbeded 'chip' thats supposed to function as an internal video card, i've noticed some G530 laptops have Nvidia geforce 9300m on their Laptop, is it possible to install it on mine? (buying the video card and adding it in?), if not.. Is there a video card on this planet i can install on my laptop?... Am sure people ask this all the time because Mobile intel 4 express chipset is absoloute garbage and if i knew i was getting this laptop i would of never allowed my parents to purchese it.
Tl,dr:
How do you install bios without getting bsod and having to re-format.
is there a video card i can add instead of this imbeded piece of crap i got (any video card.. Am sure something must fit the motherboard.. And i know the imbeded once works with the Cpu and its internanly connected.. Cmon man.. i dont wanna throw away this laptop and buy a new pc).
Please respond and help!.

if you called them today, due to it's sunday, it's normal that they don't answer.
about upgrade, if you have the mxm solution, it could be possible.
about bios, you should've reseted the bios after flashing. it also could be compatible issuee, i'm not sure
( you may need to upgrade drivers, too )

How do I enable the HP Truevision webcam?

I'm trying to set up a SKYPE.com account and cannot enable the HP Truevision webcam on My HP Pavillion Dv7-6163.

Hello ryinng,
I see that you are trying to activate the webcam on your computer. I would like to help with this issue but I need some information.
Can you provide the model and product number of the computer? Here is a link that shows how to find that information.
When you try and use Skype do you get any error messages concerning the camera? Have you tried to use the webcam on any other program?

"Universal Laptop DC car charger power adapter" for Lenovo g530

Hey there, I'm a complete tech numskull, so pardon me if this is incredibly naive. I recently made an impulse buy of an off-brand "Universal Laptop DC car charger power adapter" with the hopes of using it in a car with my Lenovo G530. I haven't gotten it yet but after purchasing it, I noticed the power adapter that came with my Lenovo is "AC." Is it possible to us the DC adapter with my laptop, where my cord says "AC"? I obviously don't want to fry my laptop and was wondering what I should look out for. The adapter was pretty cheap, which is another red flag but it also means I won't be out much if I made a mistake in buying it (ebay purchase).
Thanks in advance for your input.

It seems the spare is the new specs. Check these 2 spares. They are the same 4.74amp. http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-3000-G530-444638U-Adapter/dp/B002Z209G6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=electronic... http://www.amazon.com/COMPUTER-Power-Adapter-Cord-LENOVO/dp/B002MY2MLM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electron...

T440s: How to enable the Windows eDrive feature?

I would like to enable the eDrive feature on my T440s to encrypt my hard drive. How can I do this?
In order to do so,I enabled "OS optimized defaults" in the bios settingsLoaded them and saved themDid a clean install of Windows 8.1 and removed all partitions during this processInstalled all Lenovo driversInstalled all Windows updatesTried to turn on bit lockerAccording to [1] "If everything is eDrive compliant you won’t be asked whether or you want to encrypt all or part of the drive". However, I am asked whether I want to encrypt all or part of the drive!! So my questions is, what is wrong? How can I enable the eDrive feature? [1] http://www.anandtech.com/show/6891/

lax20531
This process below worked for me to enable the eDrive and configure HW-mode BitLocker. Would you please try it and let me know if it works for you? If you have any questions about these steps, let me know.
EDIT 1/9/2014 - these steps still may not work and should be ignored for now.
Backup your personal data, because we are getting ready to wipe the SSD to enable the eDrive function
Create the USB Recovery Drive
Boot the USB Recovery Drive
Select your language and keyboard layout, as prompted
click on "Troubleshoot"
click on "Reset your PC"
click on "Next", and the target operating system, as prompted
At the screen about "Do you want to repartition the drives on your PC?", click on "Yes, repartition the drives" <-- IMPORTANT because eDrive is only enabled when the partitions are recreated.
Click on "Just remove my files"
Click on "Reset"
The PC will be restored with the contents of the USB Recovery Drive. This will take several minutes, and the PC will reboot itself. When the process is complete, you will be at the Win8 setup screen "Region and Language", just like when you unboxed your PC and booted it for the first time.
Go through Win8 setup, connect to network, create your account, etc
Open Device Manager
Expand the category "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers"
Double-click on "Intel 8 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller"
Click on the "Driver" tab
Click on "Update Driver"
Click on "Browse my computer for driver software"
Click on "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
Click on "Standard SATA ACHI Controller" and then click on "Next" <-- IMPORTANT since eDrive won't work with the Intel driver. You must use the Microsoft standard driver instead.
Click on "Close", then click on "Close" again. Reboot as prompted.
Open Control Panel -> System and Security -> Windows Update -> Check for Updates
Download and install all available Important and Optional updates <-- IMPORTANT because Win8 itself has some bug about BitLocker. It is fixed in one of the updates, but I'm not sure which one.
Repeat steps 23 and 24 until no more Windows Updates are available
Open Control Panel -> System and Security -> BitLocker Drive Encryption
Click on "Turn on BitLocker"
Save the recovery key as prompted, then click "Next". If you saved the recovery key on a USB drive, be sure to remove the USB drive before continuing.
Click on "Continue" to run the the BitLocker system check
Reboot as prompted
BitLocker should now be running the HW mode
To confirm it: open a command prompt as administrator, then run "manage-bde.exe -status". The Encryption Method should be listed as "Hardware Encryption"

How can i use the webcam in the VMware fusion?

I am using Windows XP with VMware fusion in my MacBook( OS X 10.5.1). Everything is good except the webcam. I have no idea how can I use the webcam(built in MacBook). Can someone give me more information about that? Thanks a lot!

Not sure I quite understood your question? However, I am running Win XP in VMWare Fusion an all the peripherals such as Bluetooth, IR Receiver and the webcam are identified as USB device and are therefore supported. No problem to use it with Messenger, Skype or Trillian. The only thing you have to do is to click on one of the small USB symbols in the lower right corner of the VMWare status line in order to enable it for the use in VMWare. That's it.
Hope this helps to fix your problem

(SOLVED) Display brightness disappeared from Power Options in Vista, Lenovo G530

Hello board,
My system Lenovo G530 product ID 444638U
I used to be able to adjust display brightness in Vista from Control Panel > Power Options. I could set how bright when on battery and how bright when on AC. Also, it used to be that when I unplugged power cable it would automatically adjust my brightness according to those settings. Now, nothing happens when I unplug power cable, not even a beep.
Possible problem is as follows, but let's keep an open mind to other things as well. I spilled beer on keyboard recently. ONLY on keyboard I am sure. I replaced keyboard with something that fits but something that isn't made for my laptop, has different arrangement of Fn+ keys. Basically ever since the beer accident and ever since I replaced keyboard I had this brightness issue.
Please help me solve this.

I solved this problem..
Solution is to upgrade the BIOS to latest version. I am not sure actually whether latest BIOS had the needed fix or not, or it was just the process of updating the BIOS that solved this issue. But no doubt, after flashing the BIOS, display brightness function reappeared!

Lenovo G530 - problem with certain keys on keyboard

hi everyone.
I have a Lenovo G530 and I am having an odd problem with the keyboard. If i press the spacebar when I type anything, i get the system date and time. If I press the H button, I get a hn and i get nh when I press the N key. Also get gb when I press G and bg when I press B. The rest of the keys are fine. Any ideas what could help???
I has this problem about a month ago and I remember reading somewhere on the net that if I press Alt-Crt-Del and some other key, it shoudl work... and it must have cause the problem stopped. But now it's back and I can't find that combination again.
I have Windows Vista installed.
Thanks!!!

Hello,
I doubt it's a hardware problem at all. I believe it's a "fun" program running on your machine that does this. Someone put it there for you.
A sure way to make sure what it is....... connect a USB keyboard to your laptop. If that USB keyboard is doing the same thing then it's software related, if not, then it's hardware related.
If it is infact a funware there or a virus you'd have to go to a malware forum and ask around. If it turns out to be malware try Spybot Search & Destroy.
