G550 OSD Hotkey problem

Hi to every1
I have a g550 Lenovo ( model name 20023) and after installing vista hp sp2 , i cant make the osd hotkey work . I tried to install 7jif12ww.exe ( i have installed it , not only extracted it ) after install asks for reboot , after reboot nothing happens ; i also tried 6jvu34ww.exe but when i tryed to install it i get stuck where i have to "Select the packages you want and then click install.Updates to software ......." because i cant choose anything the field is black , nothing shows up.
The " onekey recovery" button also doesnt work.
I have installed the video drivers from lenovo g550 driver page, driver version 7.15.0010.1591 (English).
ps: Why i dont receive an vista recovery cd/dvd???( with all drivers included ) in fact i didnt received any cd. If i pay for vista all i get is a sticker on back of my laptop wich costs aprox. 100 euro. HOW COOL!!!!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks Whabi , it worked, even tho i would prefer only the driver fot hotkey osd and not the whole package.
LENOVO please stop includeing drivers in software!!!!!
Considering the fact that i payed 500 euros for this laptop i think YOU could include a 50cents recovery cd.~~~~~~

G550 Power Button Problem

Recently I received a Lenovo G550 but the problem is that clicking the power button does nothing. Holding it for a while does nothing either. I managed to turn on the computer when I accidentally clicked the OneKey button and rebooted from there but it is inconvenient to do this every time. Once on, I click the power button which, according to the "when I press the power button," should put the computer to sleep mode but instead does nothing. Holding the power button does nothing either. What can I do to fix this problem?

I bought G550 last jan 2010 and ran out of warranty last month. my laptop is not powering at all.
it happened after i replaced my broken keyboard with a new one.
when i removed the multimedia panel (that has power button, audio controls, onekey rescue button), it looked like i damaged the ribbon cable that goes from the back of this panel into the motherboard (which is under the
keyboard).
the pins on the ribbon cable were distorted and couple of times it powered and after that i could never power it on.
unfortunately i lost the cable, so am not sure of the make of this cable. i am looking for a replacement part
Is there any way to get the parts list for g550?
your help is much appreciated.
i believe this is the part. can anybody confirm?

Lightroom 3.6 and Windows 8 hotkeys problem

Dear Adobe Support, all,
I'm experiencing strange Lightroom 3.6 problems in Windows 8 PRO. The program itself seems to be stable, but unfortunately hotkeys are not working all the time. The worst thing is that they work and then something happens and suddenly they don't. It is really anoying and I tried to re-install the program without any success. I used the Windows 7 compatibility mode, but it did not help neither.
By the way, I have experienced the same problem earlier when runing Windows 8 CP, but I thought it was only a consumer preview that caused problems.
Please help. I don't really need Lightroom 4 and do not want to upgrade.
Thanks!

Solved!
I found out that I use many keyboards language layouts (4). So when I'm not in English layout the hotkeys stop working.
I did not had the same problem in Win7. But nevertheless, it is nice that everything works.
I hope it can help others who may experience the same issue.

DREAMWEAVER - HOTKEYS PROBLEM!!!

I am pissed.
I buy purchased a new keyboard extra, nothing.
Format on PC and new install, nothing.
IT IS NOT WORK with
-CTRL+W (closed)
-CTRL+S (SAVE)
-CTRL+Z (undo)
DOES WORK:
-CTRL+C(COPY)
-CTRL+P (PASTE)
WHY? The problems is long, this time I write here.

Hallo,
sorry, falls ich mich nicht genau genug ausgedrückt habe.
Mit der Bildschirmkopie wollte ich Dir zeigen welche hotkeys mein DW CS4 vorgibt und dass diese (bei mir) funktionieren.
Du hast bestimmt nachgesehen, aber trotzdem (wir wollen den Fehler finden, also nicht HB-Männchen spielen), könnte es sein, dass Du in der Aufregung die shift-Taste oder den num-lock festgestellt hast?
Und mein Link mit der Liste sollte Dich dazu bringen, die verschiedenen Tastenkombinationen (die bei uns alle mit Strg beginnen) auszuprobieren. Auf diese Weise könntest Du feststellen, ob vielleicht nur einzelne Tasten Deiner Tastatur nicht funktionieren.
Wie sieht das in anderen Programmen aus (WORD, Excel usw.)? Funktionieren da Deine hotkeys?
Ist die neue Tastatur eine mit Funkmaus?
Hast Du in der Zwischenzeit nochmal die alte Tastatur angeklemmt?
Und .... immer mit der Ruhe, wir kriegen das schon hin!

hi,
I have recently bought a Lenovo G550 59-046612 laptop. As the given driver cd includes all the drivers for Windows 7 I downloaded all the required drivers for my laptop from the following list
http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/in/en/DriversDownLoads/APR_Driver_List.aspx?CategoryID=600154&OS=W...
as I am using windows XP Service Pack2. All the drivers installed fine but I got problem installing the audio driver. I tried both from the downloaded exe and also from the extracted folder named drivers in my C drive.I was getting the error "A conexant audio device could not be found.The application will now exit." Please help me out.
Thanks in advance
Sudip

have you tried to install drivers on safe mode or manually?
after you locate the .inf file for the driver that you want to install, manually install the new driver. to do this, follow these steps:
- click start, right-click computer, and then click properties.in the tasks pane, click device manager.
- if you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click continue.
- in device manager, locate the device for which you want to install the driver.
note to display hidden devices, click show hidden devices on the view menu.
- right-click the device, and then click update driver software.
- click browse my computer for driver software, click let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer, and then click have disk.
- in the install from disk dialog box, click browse, locate an .inf file for the device driver that you want to install, and then click open.
- follow the steps in the update driver software devicename dialog box to update the driver

Lenovo G550 Service Partition problem

Hello,
I've bought Lenovo G550 (without OS) and by mistake deleted my Service Partition, which contains files for OneKey recovery utility. I've searched forum, but hasn't found anything exact.
As I've searched, I've found out few things:
- If I change any partition size, OneKey is no longer working
- Only service support can fix this problem, in some countries I've gotta pay
I'd like to ask you for help. If there is any chance to DIY (do it yourself), just by downloading needed files and creating new partitions with required space.
I'd really appreciate if someone was there to assist, or just providing some more information about this problem.
Sorry for my English.
Thanks a lot !

there are about 113 backup wsi file, the one with number 34 seems damaged. for factory backups there's another issue with it. did you make any changes on volumes? cause if you did, one key recover and one key recover button will stop working.
in normal circumstances, eisa part is not visible. i'm not sure if it works if you copy files to usb.
if windows vista installed, run one-key recover 6.0.
already got backups, skip "back up" otherwise click that.
select full backup, quick compression and next >
choose the path or leave it default and next >
and start.
after back up ends, restart the application one-key recover 6.0
click "create recovery disc" and next >
select the backup you have and next>
this screen will tell you how much cd or dvd you need, min 2 dvd or 8cd, max 7 dvd or 28 cd. and next>
insert the blank cds or dvds into driver and wait until done.
you may need the system image, you can lose your back-up cd, or cds may not working after a while, so , i still recommend that you keep the original copy or more than one backup.
size of recovery cd depens on how much size of disk space you use. its up 2-7 dvd or 4-28 cd.

G550 LCD Video Problem

I have a G550 with fixed hash in several locations on the screen, see picture below. I am totally stumped as to what could be causing this problem. The hash pattern is the same regardless of the changes to the hardware, which seems impossible since I have changed everything except the case!
Actions taken:
Video is fine on an external monitor.
A few horizontal lines are seen during Lenovo startup screen.
Starting in Safe Mode does not make any difference.
Replaced Flex Cable (three different cables - one used, one new & one removed from a working G550).
Replaced LCD Screen: (two different screens - one new & one removed from a working G550).
Removed memory sticks one at a time & tried them in alternate memory slots.
Replaced Motherboard with used / tested motherboard.
Would appreciate any suggestions as to what else could cause this problem!!!

Satellite L40-17R - FN Sound Volume Hotkey problem - Windows XP

Hi,
I've recently bought Satellite L40-17R (PSL4CE) without OS preinstalled. I've installed Windows XP Home Edition SP 2.
Then I have installed all drivers I have found for this model on Toshiba driver site. I've even upgraded BIOS.
After that all Fn hotkeys works fine *except those responsible for volume control (Fn + Up/Down Arrow, Esc)*.
I have searched the forum for solution of this problem and found this topic
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=113113
but I am unable to install +ATK Hotkey Utility+ and +ATK Hotkey Driver+ since I cannot find *Driver Package* at Toshiba driver site:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
as if it was removed.
I also studied instructions from
http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/install-20071214121932.zip
Driver Package is also mentioned there on page 7, 8, 9 but it does not appear in a +Driver type+ listbox as described.
Also when I don't specify "Driver type" field in the search form there is no any Driver Package in search result.
Can anybody tell me where to find Driver Package, ATK Hotkey Utility or ATK Hotkey Driver for Satellite L40+ Win XP?
Am I missing something? Is my Toshiba drivers link not up to date? Is there any other solution to make sound hotkeys work?
Mao

I've tried Ubuntu Linux on L40-17R and it can control the brightness automatically. For example, when u plug out the AC power (i.e. switch to battery) the brightness goes down to certain level automatically. And It can maintain the brightness level after rebooting.
I cannot find the same feature in Windows XP.
I think this is due to the missing of power saver utility. It can control the brightness automatically. and also for all other options.

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
Best Regards

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!

G550 weird printer problem

I've just done a clean XP install on a new G550 machine, but can't successfully install _any_ printers. The printer is detected when I plug it in, but driver setup fails with something along the line of "couldn't find printer compatible with driver" - slightly different for each brand and model of course. I've tried 3 different printers all of which are working perfectly on other machines of various configurations (including XP). Suspecting a USB problem I tried disabling Legacy USB support in BIOS with no luck. A USB mouse works fine though. Device manager shows all devices are working with suitable drivers. Should I give up on XP and try something newer?

The boss came in and found the IP address, when I out that in it was able to find it and it's working again.
But I'd really like to know 2 things if anybody has any ideas:
1-Why did the printer vanish in the first place? I've never seen anything like it.
2-Why could it not find the printer by it's name when it could in the past? Where the printer is the name is as well and it is what I put in.

G550 optical drives - problem with drivers

I have a problem with optical drive in G550. Drive is DS8A4S from LITE ON. There is no driver for windows 7. Anyone help me?

Since it is a fresh install, the only drivers that are installed are the ones that came on the Windows XP SP2 CD and the JMicron RAID drivers that I slipstreamed in. However, the directory structure and instructions for use weren't very clear in the .zip file that the RAID drivers came in. It says:
"For floppy install:
Please copy all the directories and files in the "floppy" folder to the root directory of a floppy disk to create a pre-install disk for Win2K/WinXP/Win2003/WinXP 64bits/Win2003 64bits.
For example,
A:\amd64
\x32
txtsetup.oem"
Well, my power supply does not have a connector for a floppy drive, which is why I was installing the RAID drivers with a slipstreamed XP CD. However, in the actual .zip file, there is no "floppy" folder! There are 4 subdirectories: Application, Driver, Floppy32 and Floppy64. The Driver directory has 2 subdirectories: amd64 and x32. I didn't understand whether I was supposed to use the files in the Driver/x32 folder, or the ones in the Floppy32 folder.
I ended up slipstreaming the files from the Floppy32 folder because it seemed to make the most sense according to the instructions. However, I noticed both in nLite and when Windows was actually preparing setup that multiple RAID drivers were found in and loaded from this directory, whereas in the Driver/x32 folder, nLite detected only one set of RAID drivers. Did I use the wrong directory to get the JMicron RAID drivers when I made the slipstreamed XP CD? Or do you think there is a different problem?

Lenovo G550 Wi-fi Problems

Just got a new Lenovo G550 (2852DU).
The Wi-fi seems to be pretty problematic. I'm having a WPA-PSK secured wifi at home.
It connects if I give username and password and immediately disconnects.
If I save the network and say - connect automatically, this connection disconnection cycle keeps on happening infinitely . I've tried updating the drivers. No go.
I tried using a unsecure network and it was fine. Is it that my broadcom WLAN chip doesn't like WPA-PSK password? It's freaking insane.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Problemo solved!!
I called up Lenovo customer care, they told the 'Lenovo ReadyConn' software that's pre-loaded is faulty.
I removed that and added my Wireless networks 'manually' and I'm good to go
