Lenovo G550 2958-j6y Bluetooth not found

Hello, I just buy a lenovo g550 2958-j6y and I can´t turn on the Bluetooth device. I press Fn+F5 and I only get the option for turn on/off the wireless card and I can´t install the Bluetooth driver for windows XP, it says "Bluetooth device not found". On the specifications (www.lenovo.com.ar >>> Products >>> Value Line >>> 2958-j6y) says that it has Bluetooth. Can anybody help me, please?

If I go to THIS Lenovo web page and type your
model number (2958-J6Y) in Quick Path box on right,
the Original Description for your laptop does not show bluetooth.
Maybe it is just an option?

Lenovo G550 2958 Recovery Disk

Hi,
Can any provide a recovery disk for a Lenovo G550 2958 with Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit or alternatively be able to tell me the original C and D drive partition sizes for the 149GB version?
Typical resize of partitions error of judgement - will never make this mistake again.
Failing that I will just merge all partitions, be done with it and just re-install an OS.
Just looking for any easy way out.
Many thanks.

you should be able to order recovery discs by calling lenovo support line. call them again and tell ( again ) you want to order recovery discs. post back the results and we'll try to help you to solve your issue.
ps: if you don't want to use one key recover function, i can assist you to download legal windows 7 iso so you can perform clean windows installation by using your serial number.

PCIe Slot on Lenovo G550 2958 95Q

I've recently bought a Lenovo G550 2958 95Q, which ships with integrated graphics. However, I need a more powerful GPU for graphics applications. So I was wondering if there are some PCIe slots on this Laptop that I could utilize to upgrade my GPU.
Are there ?
Thanks in advance,
Sunny

Note : Lenovo G550 2958 H2Q had dedicated Graphics, and they are pretty much similar, only for the GPU. So does that mean that the 95Q is nothing but the h2q, only that the GPU's been removed?

G550 2958 Sound Problem

I just got my laptop back from the repair center where they replaced the mobo, suddenly after a few hours of use the sound acts up.
It becomes fuzzy and distorted, and sometimes it reverts back to normal at random..
After several tries with different drivers, I decided to tak drastic measures in hand and clean the partition and give it a fresh install to windows 7
Now the speakers are OK, but there appear to be something wrong with the mini jack now.
There is no sound coming out, and tested it with different headphones.
Installing the latest conexant driver from Lenovo's driverpage just makes windows unable to even recognize that a headphone is plugged in.
However using older drivers makes me able to see that a headphone is plugged in, even indicating that there is sound ( by the moving green volume indicator), but no sound is coming out?
I would really dislike the idea of sending it back another 2-3 weeks, since it is such a minor problem.. Yet frustrating..
In short:
Speakers = Ok!
Mini Jack Line out = X

Hi there:
I recently (1 week ago) purchased a Lenovo G550 2958 (Intel Dual Core, Windows 7) laptop. I use Skype and other messenger services to talk to my family. I had also purchased a top of the line Logitech Headset with two prongs to connect to the front of the laptop.
The problem is that this headset is not being recognized by the windows. I have checked many blogs and forums to fix the issue, but, no solution. So, basically even when I have the headset plugged, the laptop uses Connexant built in microphone with very poor quality and fade-ins and outs of sound.
Could someone please help me? When I am in Control Panel>Hardware and Sounds>Manage Audio Devices, I only see built-in speakers and microphone. I have also checked to see if the Show Disabled Devices and Show Disconnected Devices are checked in.
Nothing would work. PLEASE HELP!
Shams!

Requesting Lenovo G550 2958 H2Q Recovery Disk

Hello,
My Lenovo G550 2958 H2Q switches off frequently and on reboot asks for recovery options. The 'Repair Disk Windows 7 32 bit' was used to recover the disk image. Contacting the Lenovo Support didn't help as they try to throw ball in others court. When the service provider was personally approached at Chennai, he informed his inability to provide a Recovery Disk or to recover to factory default due to software not available for my model. Now the repair disk has got corrupted or damaged.
What do I do now? Continue operating on Safe mode due to the inefficiency of LENOVO staff!
Can anyone please help me in this forum by mailing me the disk- I promise to bear the cost. Thanks.

you should be able to order recovery discs by calling lenovo support line. call them again and tell ( again ) you want to order recovery discs. post back the results and we'll try to help you to solve your issue.

G550 2958 battery burning hot in hibernate?

I've had my G550 2958 since late October. Been thrilled overall.
Today, after the machine went into hibernate, it began chirping quietly at ~1 minute intervals. When I felt it in my laptop bag, the battery was searing hot.
After getting it home, it wouldn't boot. Finally, after letting it cool and plugging it in to AC, it started up. Battery was completely depleted. The machine had only been in hibernate for two hours, so I was surprised.
I've had battery woes before on much older machines. I'm quite concerned that this would be happening so early.
Should I apply my warranty and shoot for new parts? Rather worried.
Any advice much appreciated.

Hmmm, so my efforts to call were met with:
1) A 30-minute hold time culminating in a dead line.
2) Another epic hold with no response.
Is there a time to call when they're more prone to pick up?

G550 2958 - No mute key

Is there any option to configure a key for mute ?

Notebook Specs for Adobe CS5 Master Collection

Hi guys, I am currently in process of buying a new notebook.
I will be running a Adobe CS5 Master Collection and few other programs.
Can you guys let me know what are best specs that this notebook must have?
I know Mac is best option but my company is not willing to get one, they are willing to settle for HP / Dell / etc…
I will need this notebook to handle multiple applications at a time (dreamweaver, illustrator, photoshop, etc etc…).
I dont want the basic specs, what more can i include to get this notebook running like a super machine?
eg. 8GB Ram, i7 processor?
What do you guys advise?
Thank You
Bradley

I was curious about your experience with CS5 Master Collection, since I purchased the CS4 Master Collection more than a year ago.
I had previously bought the CS3 Master Collection and upgraded. The original CS3 collection was reasonable to work with because there was a Disc for each different program. If you needed to reload a program you could figure it out. When I upgraded to CS4 which was a decent price, I figured what I would get would be comprehensible in the sense that CS3 was. What I received was (I believe 5 discs...I don't have them with me) labeled Content
and Applications. It wasn't long, because of the general 64-bit confusion, that one of the programs (Acrobat Pro) became corrupted. I wasn't sure which disc or discs to load. There are absolutely no instructions or anywhere you can go to find them. Adobe provides nothing for Master Collection
owners, or rather up-graders...try sending an email...good luck. Try calling...to find out how to load a program? By the way when I try to load one of the Content discs, I get a message that says my laptop, with all the bells and whistles, and which originally accepted the Master Collection, cannot load the software, whatever that means. I wrote several emails to Adobe asking for help, I'll even pay for it...no answer. I also subscribe to the Professional Photographers podcast and Adobe is frequently mentioned as having terrible customer service and having over-priced software. I'm seriously thinking of alternatives, but everyone uses Photoshop, which you're probably better off buying by itself. Or, you could wait for another frustrated customer to post his/her complaint to the Adobe Forums. I don't think the Adobe administrators will let this be posted, but please, be forewarned about the terrible customer service.

GPU Performance with Illustrator - New Notebook Specs

I'm looking at purchasing a new notebook for Illustrator use. The system requirements for Illustrator list only certain models of NVIDIA video adapters. The notebooks I'm looking at have the NVidia Optimus K1100M 2GB video adapter. I would like confirmation that the Optimus series of adapters will not provide Windows GPU performance and that I should be looking at only the adapters listed within this link:

Thanks!

Thanks for writing. Please don't mind if I pick apart your statements.
"For an extra $200 the 5870 is a no brainer." I agree on a pure cost basis that it's not a hard decision. But I have a very quiet environment, and I understand this card can make a lot of noise. To pay money, end up with a louder machine, and on top of that realize no significant benefit would be a minor disaster.
So, the more interesting question is: has anyone actually used the 5870 and can compare it to previous cards? A 16-bit 60 megapixel image won't require even .5GB of VRAM if fully tiled into it, for example, so I have no ability, a priori, to prove to myself that it will matter. I guess I'm really hoping for real-world data. Perhaps you speak from this experience, Matthew? (I can't tell.)
Background work and exporting are helpful, but not as critical for my primary daily use. I know the CPU is also used for demosaicing or at least some subset of the render pipeline, because I have two computers that demonstrate vastly different render-from-raw response times with the same graphics card. Indeed, it is this lag that would be the most valuable of all for me to reduce. I want to be able to flip through a large shoot and see each image at 100% as instantaneously as possible. On my 2.8 i7 that process takes about 1 second on average (when Aperture doesn't get confused and mysteriously stop rendering 100% images).

Best notebook spec for heavy database

I am going to install Oracle database for personal study.
Which spec is the minimum requirement for 14" or less screen laptop without lagging.
Would you recommed some model of laptop?
OS would be windows.
I might carry it to school and a lot of data and test would be performed.
Thank you.

SSD's on laptops for Oracle are [url http://perspectives.mvdirona.com/2008/04/25/LaptopSSDPerformanceDegradationProblems.aspx]perhaps not a good idea.
Performance of complex database operations is more sensitive to app design and implementation than anything else. Normally, on the storage side database performance is most impacted by the number of spindles to spread the performance across, as well as the size of the data path between storage and memory, but on a laptop, all you can really do is get the biggest disk you can, and a big cheap usb external drive for backups.
It kind of depends what you mean by "heavy." It's kind of a non sequitur between big database and laptop.
If you are carrying something around, you want "light."
You might also consider using virtual machines for easily going back to snapshots of particular configurations and data sets you keep offline. As long as you are doing that, you might as well use linux, and have windows virtually for when you need something only there. A lot of people prefer linux for running Oracle.

G550 2958 Problems

Hello,
I am having a problem with the laptop mentioned in the subject line. First, I kept on getting an error when booting up, it would say this message: http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f234/drewster88/100_1351.jpg
So I decided to open up the hard drive area and motherboard area. I took the hard drive out and put it back in. I took out the two sticks of ram and put them back in. I now turn on the laptop and nothing on the screen comes up. The only thing that happens is the LED light for both the power and battery light up. Also I heard the cdrom drive boot up as well with a noise. The fan does not turn on either.
What do you guys think happened?

Changing the boot order may have caused the original
problem (screen shot you linked to).
Boot order should should not cause the current no boot
problem, but no way to set to default if you can not reach BIOS.
So, with HD Out, no boot?
Try removing one of the memory sticks.
Do you have access to a known good memory stick to try?
Try removing the DVD drive.
Basically, when I service a problem like that, I first
remove everything I can, and see if there is a change.
So if I had battery, HD, WLAN card and DVD out, and a known
good memory in, and still no boot, I would guess the motherboard
has a problem.
May have got zapped with static electricity when pulling memory, for example.
