IdeaCentre K210 RAM

Hi, I have an IdeaCentre K210 system that came standard with 3GB of RAM and would like to upgrade to 4GB, preferably 6GB of RAM and would appreciate H-E-L-P!
I assume that I have 2GB module and a 1GB module and will have to "throw away" the 1GB RAM and have 2 questions. first, WHAT type of RAM does the IdeaCentre K210 have (what type of RAM do I need to purchase) and second, can the system "handle" 6GB or is 4GB the maxium capacity available on the IdeaCentre K210 system?
Thank you,
Bob
P.S.- so far the only upgrades that I have made was adding another 500GB HDD (for a total of 1T), are their any upgrades that someone has made that they would recommend to the IdeaCentre K210 for other users to consider?

Can you run Everest to see what chipset do you have?

IE7.0 problems (IdeaCentre K210 - 53134BU)

Hello again guys, it appears that no one has been able to help me with some of the other problems that I am having with my IdeaCentre K210 - 53134BU system, let's see if any has experienced and/or, might have an idea of what's going on with Internet Explorer?
First off, IE takes "forever" to load and I say this because I also have Mozilla and am using it instead of IE because of the loading problem but more because IE seems to crash / lock (for no apparent reason)!
I have noticed that if I open Yahoo Mail with IE and the note has a hyperlink to a Website, if I clink on the link a BLANK new page opens up and after a few minutes, I see Not Responding and have to close IE.
I also noticed that if I have three SEPARATE IE sessions open and one of the sessions advises me NOT RESPONDING, when I close that sessions ALL IE windows/sessions shut down.
This is a MAJOR nuisance and I do NOT use IE and was wondering am I alone or have any of you also had problems with IE?
Thanks,
Bob

hi
did you try removing it completly or try to use IE8 beta 2?
IE8 can reopen tabs which have either crashed or have been closed which are un-responsive try it..

Onekey & Partitioning - IdeaCentre K210 - 53134BU

Hi, I Partitioned the (BIG) K210 "C" Drive into a "C" Drive for Vista and Onekey Rescue & Recovery, a "D" Drive which I use to install programs and apps, an "E" Drive where I keep the data files and a "F" Drive for photos.
My question is, if I ever need to use Onekey R&R, will my Hard Drive be Partitioned back to factory setting of one BIG "C" Drive or will Onekey only install Vista and the Lenovo "freebies" (that came with the system) on the newly partitioned "C" Drive and leave the "D", "E" and "F" Drives / Partitions that I created alone?
Thanks,
Bob
P.S.- I POSTED this message on the Lenovo 3000 Desktop board and although this applies to any Lenovo system with Onecare, I think that it would be more appropriate that I re-post it on this board

Bob,
That's a great question. I believe we have a K210 in the lab and we should try this to confirm the results.

Removing Business Contact Manager BCM from my Lenovo IdeaCentre K210

I am trying to load Office 2003 on my K210. It appears the pre-loaded trial version of Office 2007 is causing a conflict... "BCM Office Addin - Office Application Version does not match". My research says i should uninstall the Business Contact Manager (BCM). I am trying to uninstall BCM but need more help... I already uninstalled the pre-loaded trial version of Office 2007. Any help would be appreciated.

IdeaCentre K210-Soyo Monitor and Display Adapter

Hi I have a Soyo Monitor -Dylmo17b. I just received an update and my graphics driver got changed to Intel G33/G31 Express Chipset Family. But ever since Soyo went bankrupt I don't have a driver for the monitor and there's a driver for it but its generic.. My viewing on my videos even general viewings colors aren't vivid almost like a matte view. Is there something I can do about it. Any suggestions out there please.

You will not fry or overcharge the battery. Mac OSX prevents that from happening. Keep it plugged in without worry.

K210 Vista Home Premium not booting after latest Vista Update.

This is my pc specs:
Lenovo IdeaCentre K210 Intel Desktop PC - Intel Celeron Dual Core E1200 1.6GHz, 2GB DDR2, 320GB SATA II, DVDRW, Intel GMA3100, Webcam, Veriface, Flash Reader, Vista Home Premium SP1
After the latest windows update on February 12th, 2009. I woke up to my pc error beeping continously at the prompt before windows should boot up.
I have only had this lenovo pc for 5 months and it was working perfectly fine before this update. Onekey recovery is not working. I cannot get it to boot from a dvd or cd. I tried a recovery disc, did not work. I changed the pc to boot from the dvd and that did not work.
If I have it boot normally I get the continous error beeping.
The fact that I am writing this from my 6 year old HP computer makes me rethink my recent purchase of the Lenovo brand.

If you think a windows update caused the problem; are you able to say which update caused the problem?
You could also describe the beep error more precisely before it boots into windows. Or is windows not working at all in normal or safe mode?
Thanks

Boot Error Sequence

IdeaCentre K210 57078894 works fine until I completely shut it down and restart it. I get errors like Boot Error Sequence, PXE-E53 No boot filename received, PXE-M0F. When I go to the BIOS setup it says Primary IDE not detected. Can anyone help fix this problem?

Hi,
You might try removing the hard drive and then put it in an external 3.5" USB enclosure and then test it on a different PC. This type of adapter could also be used to test the hard drive on another PC.

Restart and Serial Number

When restarting Vista on IdeaCentre K210, I normally have to "power off" using the power button, or the system hangs
on the "Lenovo" screen. Is there a parameter that controls this?
The serial number in the BIOS is 5555555; should I change it to the correct S/N?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have to unplug my USB external storage (MYBOOK) for the reboot
to occur.

ThinkVantage, Productivity Center

How do I get the ThinkVantage software, mainly Productivity Center, downloaded to my IdeaCentre K210, 5313-4CU? It looks like it is for ThinkCenter's only?
Thanks, Theron....

Hi,
go into registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LENOVO\PRDCTR\Data\QuickLink\Order
and check what is the value of following reg key, when the issue is present: SetDefault
This key should stay on "1" if the QuickLaunch is activated.
Let me know what is your value, when the issue is present.
Till now I'm not aware of any issue/bug like this.
Cheers

My TouchScreen is messed up

I have an HP PhotoSmart C4650 All-in-one USB wired to a Lenovo IdeaCentre K210 desktop/tower (Vista 32, SP2). The printer serial # is {Removed for privacy}and the FPU # is Q8418-64001. It works fine EXCEPT: (a) messages on the Touchscreen indicate that it iws waiting for a memory card to be inserted, or for a scan item to be placed face down on the glass. The default I'm used to (until a few days ago) was the touchscreen with three choices: scan, photo and copy. I use the copy commend on the printer but scan from HP Solution Center. I've never done photos, (b) when I attempted a scan it got to showing the preview but wouldn't show the dotted lines and wouldn't show Finish, to click (when the Touchscreen was thinking of photos), and (c) this seems nuts - when I tried to go online to HP.com for help, Windows reported that it couldn't open the webpage.
No real error messages except that the touchscreen wants a memory card, insertion of a scannable item, or it once just printed a blank page when I hadn't touched anything. It beeps and the screen changes on its own.
Changes before the issue? I'm not sure. I had just upgraded PC Tools Registry Mechanic version 11, but their Email Help got me nowhere, I got several problems at that time, including a failure of my OEM VGA cable, which I replaced and it was fine.
Something that may be related is the USB port. My printer is connected in the back of the tower and there are two USB ports in front, When I insert a flash drive the screen that usually says What do you want to do? stopped appearing so I get access through the Computer Folder, but with the Sandisk Cruzer (that apparently has software that speeds it up) the USB ports don't recognize it and don't indicate an available drive letter. The Sandisk website said this is not a Sandisk product.
I uninstalled-reinstalled the printer software and now have the full-feature version installed.

You can't. That's why there is a passcode - if you could "get around it", it would have no value. You can restore the phone and clear the passcode, but you lose the data if you didn't backup before.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

Regarding my product

I bought a lenovo desktop from ur retailer. It is of 53131CQ model. I want to download the drivers for it but the model is not listed in ur site. i want ur help regarding this...

Hello,
I believe that the model that you are referring to is an IdeaCentre K210 5313 (There should be a tag on the case with the model number). If this is correct, you can choose your drivers from the following link.
Please be aware that since you didn't provide the Operating System for your computer, all of them are listed. Make sure you get the one for your needs.

BOTH of my K210 Systems have the very same problem

Hope somebody can help.   I have two identical Lenovo IdeaCenter K210 machines.   They were shut off for a trip away from home for holiday.
BOTH machines are failing to start in the same exact way.    Push power on button, chasis fan, cpu fan, power supply fans come on.............can hear hard drive click .... this process takes about 3 seconds then repeats.   The fans cycle like this over and over and the system never boots up.
This cycling stops when power is unplugged.    Have dusted everything, have disconected cd and hard drives, took out ram and got long beep.
Anybody have a suggestion?   Really weird that this is 2 separate systems (they are the same age) and nearly identical computers with the same problem.
Look forward to your response.

Took the battery out of the motherboard.    Put it back in.   Had to reset CMOS time.   Will replace batteries tomorrow.
Going to look at system diagnostics, bios updates etc.
Just bad batteries?????    Need this in the knowledgebase somewhere.

IdeaCentre Q150 BIOS Problem

Hello,
My company purchased 5 IdeaCentre Q150's to use on a current project. All are the same configuration (4081-6AU). We have a custom Windows 7 64-bit image running on each of them. To take maximum advantage of the systems, we ordered 4GB RAM upgrades for each unit.
4 of the 5 units work just fine with the 4GB RAM upgrades, one unit simply will not post.
Upon further investigation, we found out that the BIOS version on the one unit is older than the rest.
4 units have the following BIOS:
REV: D7KT14AUS
Boot Block: D714A
BIOS Date: 11/17/10
The one unit that will not boot with 4GB of RAM has the following BIOS:
REV: D7KT12AUS
Boot Block: D712A
BIOS Date: 6/03/10
I have searched all over Lenovo's website and the internet for a BIOS update with no luck. Does anyone know where to find the BIOS update for the IdeaCentre Q150?
I would hate to have to return this unit simply because of an out of date BIOS that could potentially be upgraded.
Thanks in advance for the help!

IdeaCentre K230 - Doesn't detect graphics cards (in PCI-E Slot)

Hello,
I bought a IdeaCentre K230 like 1 or 2 weeks ago and tried to install a graphics card. It did not work. Is it possible this motherboard (the stock one that came with the desktop) does not detect it as it does not show in the Device Manager? Because it didn't detect an Nvidia one i had before. Sorry I am real new to this hardware stuff.
So I purchased a ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics card today and tried to install it. I first disabled my on-board graphics driver(s)/adapter (Intel(R) G33/G31 Express Chipset Family) and then I powered off my computer, opened the case, installed the 4670 into the PCI Express slot and put the case back into it's place.
Then I turned on my computer and it was a 800x600 resolution. So I went into Device Manager and checked Display Adapters and I did not see the Radeon. So I opened the CD/DVD drive and inserted the CD that came with the graphics card. Then I ran the installation and it said "Installation complete. Errors have occurred" (or something to that effect). So I was like *** I'm pissed since this is the second card I have tried (previous being an Nvidia). And I'm not sure if I needed to plug the DVI cable for my monitor into the card so I did that and restarted and nothing showed (however I did hear the fan running, so it does have power). So then I plugged in the standard VGA into the adapter thing that came with it (that you plug in a VGA and then you plug the adapter into the card outputting a DVI signal thingy??), got nothing. So then I plugged the VGA into the one that is not on the card but on the computer itself. Then display showed (again, in 800x600). I am sure that the card is physically installed properly as I hear the fan running, and see it running. I also might add that the graphics card does not require additional power as it gets its power via the PCI Express port.
Please, PLEASE help me as to what I am doing wrong.
The Nvidia 9600 GSO did not work because the motherboard did not detect it (according to Geek Squad @ Best Buy). I am afraid that might be the problem of this one too. But I really want a good graphics card to work in my computer.
Computer Specs:
Pentium Dual-Core CPU E5200 @ 2.50GHz (5.00 total GHz)
6.00 GB ram
Windows Vista 64-bit

I wouldn't say that the power supply would be the problem. It would definitely keep the graphics card from reaching it's full potential.
Generally you would do the following....
Power off computer.
Flip the switch on the power supply to off.
Open case.
Insert the card into the PCI-E x16 slot.
Connect VGA/DVI to graphics card. [If required, connect power supply to graphics card. But I see this is not the case.]
Boot up computer.
Install driver.
Adjust resolution/settings.
Enjoy.
Try reseating the graphics card.
