How do i start my Lenovo Thinkpad T440p?

When I turn it on it starts off by showing "lenovo" like it usually does.
After a minute under the lenovo name it says "preparing automatic repair" and begins loading (This doesnt usually happen)
After another minute it says "Diagnosing your PC" and continues loading
Then after another minute it says "Reparing disk errors. This might take over an hour to complete." and continues loading.
After 2 more minutes the laptop shuts down and restarts.
Then when it restarts it continues down the same cycle, saying "preparing automatic repair" "Diagnosing your PC" etc.
Please help me I just want to start windows like it usually does

Hi Robfagan887,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
I think there might be issue with Operating System or with storage drive. If possible can you check with reseating the HDD/SSD drive?
Use the below link to know the steps on how to boot the system into safe mode option.

Hope this helps.

    After 3 more minutes the laptop shuts down and restarts.
    Then the laptop starts up with the "lenovo" name again
    After a minute under the lenovo name it says "preparing automatic repair" and begins loading.
    So then it just continues down this endless loop, after that it will say "Diagnosing your PC" and then "Reparing disk errors. This might take over an hour to complete." but it never fixes anything it just restarts.
    Please help me I just want to start windows like it usually does.

  • Lenovo Thinkpad T60 with start up problems

    I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T60 with start up problems.  In order to get the computer to start up, I have to unplug it, remove the battery, re-insert the battery and turn it on, once it starts the start up sequence, I can plug in the power cord.
    If I plug the cord in before I push the power button, all of the lights go out, and it does nothing. 
    I have tried several power supplies, and a new battery, even though the old battery seems to work.
    All of the updates are applied, including the latest bios update.
    The computer seems to work normally unless it goes into standby, then it just turns off.
    Any ideas what could be causing this?
    T60, 2623 KEU, Windows XP SP3

    Hello,
    Did you replace the primary battery which snaps into the back, or the internal CMOS/RTC battery inside the unit?
    Regards,

  • 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

  • [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:
    [exitium@rambutan ~]$ optirun -vv nvidia-settings

    As seen, it says "Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU". I have tried different solutions found from these forums and several other places but none of them have worked - the problem remains same. Does anyone have idea how I could fix this? I read somewhere else that there could be issues with newest nvidia drivers - is this possible?

  • Lenovo Thinkpad Edge S430 ticking noise

    Hi all, 
    My Lenovo Thinkpad Edge S430 has started making some ticking noise coming from the left corner of the laptop. If any video is on sometimes the voice disappears for a few seconds after the intensified ticking. Slightly pressing down the speakers helps stopping the noise for a short while. Any idea what the issues could be and how I could solve them?
    Thanks a lot for your help!!
    Maria

    All I can say is that it's an error in the marketing material.
    I'm 100% certain that this feature does not exist on any ThinkPad Edge system, including your S430.  There is not any possibility to add this feature because the hardware that makes it possible does not exist on ThinkPad Edge.  It's not a case of providing some new software or BIOS to enable the feature.
    If this is a feature that you require, and you bought your S430 based on this faulty marketing material, I suggest that you call the sales support phone number in your country and ask them how they want to handle it.  I'm very sorry for this trouble caused by wrong marketing material.

  • HP psc 2050 unable to instal on lenovo thinkpad

    Please can someone tell me how to instal an old HP psc 2050 J510c onto a Lenovo Thinkpad T410.

    Hello @moffat, 
    It is my understanding that you are not sure how to install your old HP psc 2050 J510 onto your Lenovo Thinkpad T410 that is running windows 7. I would like to help you with this.
    I would start by running the HP Printer Install Wizard for windows 7 and 8.  If all goes as planned, it should do most of the work for you.  
    If it does not work, then please let me know. We can then go through the installation the "old fashioned way".

  • Lenovo Thinkpad T520 doesn't boot with GPT slices on FreeBSD 9-BETA3 - BIOS bug?

    Hi!
    I've bought a brand new Lenovo Thinkpad T520 laptop and decided to install FreeBSD 9 Beta 3 following this guide.
    But when I rebooted the system, it simply doesn't boot (turns out to the BIOS boot menu).
    It's even doesn't boot with default FreeBSD 9 UFS-on-GPT installation scheme through bsdInstaller
    Changing BIOS (latest, 1.31) settings BIOS Startup->UEFI/Legacy Boot from "Both" to "Legacy only" has no effect. As FreeBSD AFAIK doesn't support UEFI boot, legacy boot should work picking up and starting pmbr (protected MBR record), but it doesn't.
    However, FreeBSD 9 UFS-on-MBR installation (with mbr boot record and FreeBSD slice in MBR partition instead of  GPT) works fine.
    It seems to me that UEFI/Legacy Boot "Legacy" setting actually has no effect if 0xEE type Primary partition entry is present on disk.
    First of all, has anyone installed Linux or FreeBSD with GPT partitioning scheme on latest Thinkpads?
    And the second one, as I've saw similar problem on FreeBSD forum thread about T420s laptop I believe that this may be a bug in the BIOS. How can I fill the bugreport or send an e-mail to support or developers, as, obvious, phone support can consult only about Windows OS.

    Volker1 wrote:
     I've got a suspicion that the Thinkpad bios/efi is not simply executing the first stage bootloader, but looking around on the GPT disk and then crapping its pants when it doesn't find Windows.
    Right now I have a MBR-formatted harddisk in the ultrabay with the bootloader in the MBR. Once I get the bootloader off the MBR disk, I can easily continue to boot from my GPT-formatted SSD.
    Yes, it seems that it's a BIOS bug at least on T520, T420s and W520 laptops. Even in "Legacy" mode first stage bootloader doesn't execute if partition type is 0xEE (GPT).
    Hope Lenovo developers will fix it. They fixed something on BIOS 1.31

    - Fixed an issue where the computer might not be booted from bootloader program.
     but it doesn't work for now. Pity.

  • 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.

    Solved!

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Please help me make a choice--lenovo thinkpad versus other lenovos?

    Hi everyone,
    Just joined and this is my first post here.
    I live in India. I can get a non Thinkpad
    Lenovo for 23,000 rupees [around $400]. The dealer didn’t tell me which model it was but it's dual core, 3rd generation, 2GB RAM, 320GB HDD, 15inch screen, battery that lasts 3hrs.
    PLUS a lifetime FREE subscription to Eset smart security six antivirus for as long as I'm in this particular state in India. If I move to another state or move to the US, as I hope to do in a couple of years, I will have to pay something.
    I don’t need a large HDD, so that's fine. I need the laptop only for word processing and the internet. No gaming or programming or photoshop, so I don’t need high configurations like i5 and i7, which are prohibitively expensive in India.
    OR I can get a second-hand Lenovo Thinkpad that is nearly 2 years old for about the same price. These are the specs according to the ad:
    Lenovo ThinkPad L420 Laptop / Intel Core i3 / 14.1" Display / 2GB RAM / 320GB HD
    Processor Speed:2.10 GHz
    Model:ThinkPad L420RAM:2 GB
    Operating System:Windows Home 7
    HDD:320 GBScreen
    Size:14.1"
    Colour:Black
    Processor:Intel Core i3 (3rd Generation) i3-2310M
    Warranty:No Warranty
    Bought this laptop in Jan 2012. In perfect working condition. 14.1 TFT, DVD dual layer writeable, wi-fi, great touchpad, and all others in a perfect working condition. Excellent battery -- lasts for 7 hours with movie playing / gaming.
    That was the ad. The advertiser told me that though he installed Windows he has always worked in Linux and therefore has not had any virus problem. Naturally we worry that any old laptop will have viruses.
    He did offer to format and reinstall everything. He also said he can offer me a licensed copy of win 8 and Word for free.
     I'm wondering which of the above I should buy. Can you please help me decide by answering my questions:
    1. I'm a writer; I write on the computer all day long. I need something that will work well if used 12 to 14 hours a day. Would the new laptop give much better service than the 2 year old one even if the older one is a thinkpad?
    2. does a thinkpad on average last more years than any ordinary laptop, or any other lenovo laptop? I can't afford to buy a new machine every couple of years. I want something that will last at least 5 to 7 years. My old desktop lasted 9 years, and I used it all day long.
    If the thinkpad lasts longer than other laptops, then it might have as many years in it left as a new laptop, even if it has lost two years of its life already.
    3. the advertiser says the battery lasts for 7 hours. Someone told me that after a couple of years, all batteries last half as long as they used to. Does this mean the used thinkpad's battery is now not likely to last 7 hours as the advertiser claims?
    But even if it lasts 4 or 5 hours, that would still be better than the mere 3 hours the  new laptop will run on battery.
    If I buy a new battery for the thinkpad, will it last 7 hours or do all laptops lose the ability to run long on batteries over the years?
    4. will a new dual core, 3rd generation processor be faster or slower than a two year old i3 3rd generation processor?
    5. The advertiser said the reason the price was high was that Lenovo thinkpad was unbreakable. You could throw it out of a moving car and it would survive. Now I have no intention of throwing it out of a moving car, but accidents happen and it would be nice to know nothing would happen to it if I accidentally dropped it while carrying it from place to place.
    So is it true the thinkpad will survive falls while ordinary lenovos won't?
    I'm sorry this post is so long. Thanks so much to anyone who can answer even some of my questions.

    Hi, welcome to the forum!
    First of all, you should ask the exact model and specifications of the new Lenovo from the dealer. You cannot compare models unless you know exactly the specifications. Second, you don't mention the price for the used L420, so we cannot give you definite answers. I will try to give you some guidelines, sorry if I'm not more specific.
    In general terms, a Thinkpad is more robust than normal laptops. The L420 has a spill resistant keyboard, metal hinges for the screen and a very good construction with good plastics. If you accidentally drop it, chances are it will not be easily damaged, but it all depends on how it falls, on what surface, at what angle, open or closed etc. etc. Dropping it from a running car would probably destroy it, as it would any other laptop. It is more resistant but not invulnerable, so it all depends on the specific conditions (or your luck!). I have Thinkpads 8 years old and they are still working perfectly. I have an L520 and i expect it to last easily that much under normal conditions. But, as with all machines, you never know, it could develop a problem and die tomorrow. The chance is slim, but it is there and it could happen. Again, it depends on your luck.
    On the other hand, I have helped friends buy new laptops and I have tested the Lenovo Essentials series (B590). They are very plain, well constucted, quiet and extra cool and they are cheap. For simple everyday use I would expect them to last as long as a Thinkpad, given the proper care of course. I wouldn't hesitate buying one of them.
    Now for the battery of the L420. If it is the normal 6 cells battery chances are that 7 hours are out of the question. Only with a well preserved 9 cells battery this number is possible, so ask the seller for the battery type.
    The laptop does not loose its capability of keeping the battery alive and a new battery will last according to its specs, whatever the age of the laptop. So you can always buy a new battery for an old laptop and there will be no problem.
    For typical applications like word processing and internet use, all modern dual core processors from intel are more than enough. Again, a comparison is impossible because you don't have the specs of the new Lenovo but there is really no difference for the use you have in mind. I would suggest you add another 2GB of ram though - to both laptops - to ensure a smoother operation. It would cost around $30.
    Another aspect you do not mention is the screen size and resolution. A 15.6'' standard HD (1366 X 768) is ok but maybe the 14.1'' with the same resolution will not be enough for writing all day. Ask the Thinkpad seller about the resolution of the screen, it would be nice if it is a 1600 X 900.
    All in all, for the same price I would prefer the Thinkpad because it is a better laptop. There are also the Thinkvantage tools (software only for Thinkpads) that add more value to the package, especially the Power Manager. But if it costs more than $500, it becomes less attractive. For $600 I would not even consider it.
    Of course this is just my opinion, based on the facts you gave. Try to get more details, wait for other opinions. In the end, you can't go wrong either way!

The BSOD has been a problem from the beginning. I am a physician, retired, teaching Honors Anatomy & Physiology - pro bono- in a local high school. When the BSOD problem occurred, I just went to my old Apple MacBook and forgot about the T430s.
