Expresscache on Lenovo Twist s230u

Hello,
After installing latest drivers for Expresscache (1.3.110.0) for Twist s230u, Expresscache stopped working. "eccmd -info" command outputs "Failed to retrieve product license". Restarting service, re-installing didn't help. Does anybody have similar issues? What is possible to do to resolve them? Thank you.

So, that's what staff at Condusiv.com (devs. of Expresscache) replied about latest installed drivers of Expresscache, downloaded from Lenovo:
"It appears that the version of ExpressCache is not an Lenovo specific application. Please contact Lenovo Support and obtain a Lenovo specific version of ExpressCache. The application will check the BIOS string for the specific manufacturer prior to enabling the product."
Anybody can help? Thank you!

Default Partitions for lenovo Twist s230u

Hello,
I have a Lenovo Twist (s230u) and need to do a system recovery. Unfortunately, neither the F11 option is working nor recovering from win 8 itself. I do not have a win8 disk (wasn't supply with the computer) !
The only option I guess is to get a win8 drive and do a clean install. Before I do this and reformat the drive, can someone tell me what to do with the different partition on the HDD and the SDD ? I see the disk is divided into multiple partitions... Even if I do a clean win 8 installation, what should I do about the 260 Mb, 1000Mb and 7 Gb partitions (EFI, recovery and recovery respectively) Are they necessary ?
What about the SSD ? Technically I guess since it is separated, it shouldn't affected.
Thank you
Cyril

Hello and welcome,
Easiest - if your drive stays alive long enough - is to make a recovery flash drive and use that to restore to a new drive.
Methodology to create Recovery Media and reload a Lenovo system with Microsoft Windows 8 preload
If you have a MS Win 8 install DVD of the matching version you can just copy the contents to a FAT32-formatted flash drive and use that for a clean install. The license is in BIOS and shoud be picked up. (CAVEAT: I've done installs from flash, but not verified that the license is picked up.)
Note that the copy-to-flash install works for MS media but not for Lenovo recovery DVDs.
Worst case: use a USB DVD drive. Worst, worst case: purchase recovery DVDs from Lenovo support _and_ use an external drive.

Wifi connection slow on Lenovo Twist s230u

Hello!
For the first time in my life I am posting my own problem to a forum, after three days of almost no sleep, trying to fix this problem.
No matter on what Wifi network, the internet speed tested in a few speed testing sites never passes 0.4 Kbp/s.
I have seen endless threads, videos, discussions, and tried every solution offered.
Non of them discussed the Wifi adapter I have.
I have even re-installed Win 8.1, with no success of fixing it.
These are my specs:

Removing battery from Lenovo Twist S230u laptop?

Hello. I am sending my S230u laptop by air to a Lenovo service station to get its HDD replaced. One of their requirements is to remove the battery from the laptop since it is considered a 'hazardous' material.
Is it actually possible to remove the battery off an S230u? I've been searching online and it appears you can only disable the battery. Any help would be really appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

It appears I don't need to remove the battery after all.

Thinkpad Twist S230u: Clean Install - Windows 8 on Custom Partition

I want to install Windows 8 using my own partition configuration, meaning where I'd get a C and a D drive. On my other computers, this is what I have and I really like this configuration. I want to install Windows 8 on the C drive and have all my data on D. I have reformatted and partitioned the HDD to C and D. When I slot in Windows 8 Enterprise to install, I keep getting this message "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one." What the machine keeps wanting is for me to delete both partitions and create its own partitions and I don't want this. I know it wants this because I have clicked delete of the partitions and looked to see what it would do. It ended up creating several of its own partitions (not at all how I want it). When I re-partitioned the drive back to C and D (2 partition config), it would repeat that same error message.
Can someone please help tell me how do I install Windows 8 doing my own custom partition (C, D) where Win 8 is installed onto my choice of C and D is left for my data. Why does it keep saying, "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one"? Is it a settings in BIOS that I need to change to enable me to use my own partition? If so, what setting? I have never had these issues installing Win 8 using the C & D partition config on 3 other computers (not Lenovo S230u Twist).
Thanks for your help!!! :-)

Hello LightspeedX!
I glad you wrote this issue cause i still having the same problem (and questions).
I decided to put everithing down on my s230u because it is quietly irritant see a last generation porcessor like the I7 on a top plataform ultrabook running so slowly like our thinkpad do.
Since the embed software and the poor resource planning is the resposable for that issue, i really cant imagine why Lenovo decide to bring all this things up together at this device. I realize that any cheap I3 china device is more confortable and "quickly" to run any software than this machine in his original state (factory defaults), so i decid to try a brand new and clean installation of windows 8 or (perhaps) a dual boot configuration using a linux frindly distro like ubuntu.
At my own risc, like the cusummer service like to say, i will erase all HD and start this "saga" (making a full hard copy first, of course and will soon bring any results i found here.

Lenovo Twist recovery problem

Hi everybody.
I've just got my new Lenovo Twist s230u with Win 8 installed. First thing I wanted to do was to install linux on it. Everything seemed working fine, I knew 'bout recovery partition, so I hoped to re-install Windows, if smth. bad occurs.
I formatted two partitions (unfortunately I don't remember neither their labels nor sizes). Linux worked properly and everything was fine. But soon I understood that my windows is still unregistered, so my warranty can be spoiled. I entered the recovery menu and pressed reset button. But the recovery tool said, that some useful partition is missing.
On linux I can see several partitions:
LENOVO_RECOVERY
WINRE_DRV
SSD partitions and my linux partitions.
So I'm sure I didn't format the recovery partition.
Please help me to recover my pc. Please say if there is a way to recover it from usb stick or smth. like that. And say a few words 'bout partitioning on Lenovo twist.
Thanks a lot!

it could be because of you re-partitioned the volume. warranty may cover the issue if you have valid one ( international warranty - iws - )
try to burn default backup before ordering dvd sets.
you can order recovery discs. call lenovo support line.
check your warranty from the link below:

if it doesn't work, you can use this software to find your serial.

Hi, bobzig
I am unsure as to what this error means and why it happens, but I was able to find another thread in the forums speaking about a similar issue. The user who originally posted the question had an issue exactly like yours, except the code at the top had a different number. The body of the text was the same, however. A Lenovo employee, someotherguy, offered assistance that worked for at least one of the users, so it may work for you as well.
Best of luck,
Adam

HDD for lenovo Twist

Could you please recommand me some compatible HDD for Lenovo Twist? The hdd went dead. looking to 7200 RPM with 500 - 1000 GB capacity.
Thank you very much.

Hello,
Any 2.5" 7mm high HDD should work, which are a little less common than the 9.5mm high drives normally used in notebook computers, but becoming more common. The S230u's FRU List gives the following part numbers and models:
04W0570 - B500 Toshiba
04W0576 - C320AF Seagate
04W0582 - 7200RPM SATA 320GB 7.0mm AF 6Gb/s Toshiba AQUARIUS-C SLIM-320
04W0583 - 7200RPM SATA 500GB 7.0mm AF 6Gb/s Toshiba AQUARIUS-C SLIM-500
04W0592 - 5400RPM 500GB 7.0mm 6Gb/s WD MN500S-500
04W3923 - 5400 JAGUAR-B7 500
04W3926 - 5400 MN500S 500GB
04W3927 - 7200 JAGUAR-C7 320
04W3929 - 7200 JAGUAR-C7 500
You could also use a 2.5" 7mm high SSD as well, although if you do, you should not enable the iRST or ExpressCache caching with the mSATA SSD as it will actually slow things down. You could still use the mSATA SSD as a small secondary drive for backups, etc.

ThinkPad Twist s230u and ThinkPad x201 Tablet Creating Recovery Media

Hi Lenovo Customer Support,
ThinkPad s230u( model number: 3347CTO) - Window 8 Pro.
Before I start using my Laptop, I want to create a Recovery Media as is shown when installed with all partitions. Meaning if I format all contents of Laptop I want a recovery Media brings back computer as I go it in the first place include all partitions. By default there are five hidden partition and one ntfs.
What is the procedure how to Create a Recovery Media? I heard only Flash Recovery exist for Window 8.
Also I have Window 8 Pro but when I tried this link procedure http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/Create-Win-8-recovery-media-in-ThinkPad-Thi... I saw only Window 8 option and even then it reboot and did not work.
Also I did Flash Recovery and Took Faster with USB 3.0 Flash around 10 min around 16GB Space
Is it possible to do CD Recovery too ?
ThinkPad x201 Tablet(Model Number: 30933PG) - Wundow 7 Pro
Can you do Flash Recovery Media and CD Recovery Media under Window 7 Pro Enviro.
If you upgrade Hard drive to 1T and RAM to 16 G RAM , Can you Still do the Recovery Media?
What is the Procedure to successfully create Recovery Media.
Thanks.
saad

Reasons am asking this questions:
Sometime you test your computer doing a lot of things learning new technologies etc and suddenly you decide ok I want to take it back to factory state. Until now, most Thinkpad laptop does not come with recovery media. So how can I assure that my Recovery Media includes everything I used to have when I first receive unit.
I want to learn how to do that by myself by learning from the experts.
Until now what I know as follow:
ThinkPad x201:
I tried recovery media 3 DVD only with original hard drive works. I did not try Flash and not sure there is option yet.
If I upgrade unit with 1T hard drive and 16G Ram, How can I do Recovery Media?
ThinkPad Twist s230u:
I tried Flash and followed procedure on link in previous post. I took me less than 15 min to recovery whole. The question is does this process recover all the parts that is included when I receive unit.
I was unable to do recovery since I am not sure when in the Flash and during process showed to choose operating system was only Window 8 option not Window 8 Pro which came with unit.
I was able to do reset within system took longer and worked.
Is the recovery part build-in in the hardware or software partition? Is it included in the recovery Flash with all partitions?
Thank You. Awaiting for anyone to reply.

ThinkPad Twist s230u cursor flashing

Hello,
I own a thinkpad twist s230u (3347 4HU) purchased 3 weeks ago. From the moment I turned it on, it has a major issue. The cursor goes on the right side of the screen, it flashes and it opens windows and applications itself whether it runs on desktop or on tablet mode. The problem appears every time I use the laptop and I can’t do anything. I can’t write text anywhere due to the cursor flashing. Also most of the times that cursor flashes, the screen jitters too! I updated the bios system to 1.57 version so as most of the rest software including Atmel touch controller firmware update tool, Synaptics ThinkPad UltraNav Driver, Auto Scroll Utility and many others. I also ran linux ubuntu from a usb flash memory but the problem still existed. So it is not a windows 8 or a driver failure. I noticed that few times when i turn around the screen or I change screen’s angle, then the problem temporarily subsides for less than a minute. I am very disappointed and frustrated. I never expected to buy a Lenovo product with such a problem.
Could anyone help me?
Solved!

I have the same issue, on a brand new Twist. So this is not some isolated occurrence. It's a serious problem. Could someone from Lenovo please respond regarding a fix or plans to address this?

Thinkpad Twist S230u: Install clean Windows 8

Hello Together,
I got a new Lenovo Thinkpad Twist S230u and want to install windows 8 without all preinstalled Software.
But i cannot find any Recovery Disc/Partition and there is no Registration Key for Windwos 8 in the Package....
So, how can I extract the clean Windwos 8 Image to take it on an USB Stick and how do i get the Windows 8 Key?
It used to be so easy....
Thanks for your Help!

Hi bigwig,
I'm not quite sure what you want to do, but if you are looking to do a clean install without the Lenovo pre-installed software, you are headed down the wrong path.
Here's how you make a copy of the recovery image to USB flash drive. That can be used to restore your Twist to factory state. Factory state includes the pre-installed software too. There isn't a "naked" Win 8 image anywhere on the machine, as far as I know. Only the full Wind 8 + Lenovo recovery image.

Cannot Disable Auto-Rotate on Twist s230u

I want to completely disable the screen auto-rotation on my Twist s230u and prevent it from re-enabling at all. The only modes I use it in are tablet mode or laptop mode, so I have no use for this. Is there a way to do this?
The checkbox under the Screen Resolution section of Display Properties doesn't seem to do jack. The screen still rotates when this is unchecked. I've also rolled back the driver of the Lenovo PM Device from 1.67 to 1.66 as per this thread. Can't say I've noticed a difference after this either.
Any other ideas? Thanks.

Dear Redv
Welcome in lenovo forums
All what you need to Disable the auto Rotate Screen is to press on the highlighted button as shows below :-
- There is anotification massage will be dispayed to confirming that the auto rotate disabled
Let me know

Lenovo Twist - Can't get WWAN Driver to Install

Hey,
So, got my Lenovo Twist last weekend - absolutely love it, but **bleep**.. I'd love to be able to slap a SIM in here an go.
Problem is, the WWAN driver appears to be missing - Device Manager shows the WAN Miniport, but the driver doesn't work.
Here is what I've tried so far:
- Allowing Windows to try to find an updated driver (nothing)
- Downloaded and attempted to install this from the Lenovo Twist Support Drivers Page: Ericsson H5321gw/C5621gw Mobile Broadband Firmware for Windows 8 (32-bit, 64-bit) - ThinkPad (this results in an error: Initialization error) - This seems to only be a firmware anyway
- Tried this one.. which appears to be the driver for Ericsson H5321gw: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS029034 (Installs, but doesn't solve the driver issue.. even after reboot)
- Tried a few other various drivers that people have suggested, but none seem to work.
Any suggestions?
Marc

Following up on an earlier post I opened up my Twist to see what is inside with respect to WWAN. Easy to do; just two screws and slide out the keyboard. I had not seen any WWAN references in the Device Manager. Sure enough, the PCI Express slot the User Guide shows to be the location of the WWAN card has the 24GB SSD. Even though the SIM slot and socket is there and the red/blue antenna leads are there it does not appear both the WWAN and 24GB SSD can be installed at the same time. The other PCI Express slot has the WIFI card.
I don't know enough about SSDs but maybe a SATA type SSD could take the place of the 500GB hard drive which could free the PCI Express slot for a WWAN?
My Twist is model S230u and the Lenovo System Update application says the "Machine type and model" is 33474HU.
