IdeaPad S10 loud beep upon insertion/removal of power cable?

Hello All,
New poster here, just received my S10 and love it. My only issue is with the fact that every time I insert or remove tyhe power cable the system speaker beeps, loudly. This seems rather counterintuitive for a netbook, which is generally a pretty stealthy
device. I cannot find any setting to turn this off through windows. There is also no speaker setting in the bios.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to turn this off?
Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Justin

No option in current BIOS.
Workaround - double-click Volume in the System Tray. If a PC Beep slider doesn't show, then Select it under Options | Properties. Slide the PC Beep volume down until bearable or off...
...hoping for a BIOS update with some more options...

My macbook will not charge and turns off completely when I remove the power cable. can anyone help?

The battery is sitting at 75% and has not moved even though it is plugged into the mains. It will not switch on unless connected to the power cable and turns straight off when disconnected. The wee green light is on the cable is on when plugged in so its not the power cable. Could it be my battery? the I only bought this two years ago.
Please help.

How to disable boot jingle, and beep upon removal of power adapter, on U330

hey ya'll, so I've been trying to figure out how to turn off the boot jingle, and really loud beep when you plugin/unplug the power supply, on the ideapad u330. I've checked the bios, and there's nothing there that pertains to the noises, nor can I find anything within vista.
any suggestions?
thanks!
My ongoing U330 review

I'm very much with you on being able to disable these sounds.. Looking around I get the feeling that there is no way, but at least we should make enough noise about it that it is covered in a BIOS update or something.
It is very annoying, particularly the power disconnection sound. It is disturbingly loud and I haven't even used it in public yet. Boy, this is going to be a problem in the library..

Constant loud piercing beep upon startup when GeForce88000 GT video card installed.

I purchased a 2008 2.8 GHz Mac Pro that has a Quadro FX 1800 Windows video card and Windows 7 installed .
OSX not re-installed yet (I'm trying to get there).
So I installed a GeForce88000 GT video card, which is listed as compatible with this machine for Mac OS, and immediately upon power up, and I mean before I can even pull my finger back out after pushing the button in, the beep starts (and never stops).
This occured when I had both cards installed and when I only had the Mac GeForce88000 GT installed (in that customary first slot).
When I had both cards installed, Windows booted up normally, there was just this unglodly screeeching beep providing a certan "vibe" for the proceedings.
Windows still verifies all 16 GB of RAM.
I tried to search for other posts regarding this issue but came up empty.

Don't care what Nvidia says.
It needs aux power.
All performance PCIe cards need aux power.........
The following photograph shows a comparison to two other cards. The GeForce 8800 GT (left) is about the same size, and also uses a single-slot cooler. The previous generation Radeon X1900 XT (right) is somewhat longer due to its fixing frame. (Note that the cooler on the X1900XT is not the original one, but as the original it's a two-slot cooler). All of these cards need auxiliary power, the power connectors are on the bottom right on each card.

Loud beeps, squeals, morse code, hacking?

In the middle of a conversation - loud beaps and squeals break out and stop the connection. Loud horn honks like a semi truck along with what absolutely sounds like morse code. Prob persisted into the next day. On the other end my GF could only here static. Could not call or receive. . ... As usual for me, I'm seeing nobody else mentioning this experience here. What happened? Did my line get hacked? Had to remove battery to reset phone and that cleared it up.
These were the kinds of sounds you would hear on a shortwave radio when you tune around.

I have had my Charge for about 4 days and I had the same noise interrupt a call today. I tried to call the person back and got the same thing again. The other person called me back and again all I had was this loud beeping, staticky, morse code like noise. I had to restart the phone in order to use it.
I am also having the problem with the phone constantly dropping the network service. I have to reboot 2-3 times a day to get back on the network. This is in a 3g coverage area. Today when I had no network service, my wife had 3 bars on her Droid 2.

3 loud beeps when I try to start MacBook Pro

Backed up my MacBook pro running snow leopard. trashed a bunch of old files. everything was running fine.
I shut down and restarted.
It makes the tone but no apple icon. Then three loud beeps over and over. Sounds scary.
Never had this before. What does it mean? It sounds serious.
Thank you,,
Patrice

Hi Patrice,
That usually indicates a problem with RAM.
Try troubleshootingthe RAM. Shut down. Disconnect power adapter and remove battery. If the RAM youhave installed is not the RAM provided by Apple, remove that RAM and installthe Apple-supplied RAM. If you don't have the Apple-supplied RAM, or youalready have the Apple-supplied RAM installed, remove one module, try booting,move that module to the other slot, try booting, repeat with other module.
Ifneither RAM module works in either slot, then there are almost certainly otherhardware issues (usually the logic board, which covers a plethora ofpossibilities; unfortunately, the fix for almost any LB issue is to replace theentire LB), as the odds of both RAM modules and/or both slots being faulty areextremely low (but possible).

Ideapad S10-3 black screen, won't boot

Hello, every body.
I have a lenovo ideapad s10-3. Right now it is black screen and won't boot, but power works.
I disassembled it, and just left CPU, graphics card, and RAM. Power works, and fan starts rotating and stops. I leave it running, i can feel CPU and Graphics Card hot.
Before this problem(black screen and won't boot) happened. sometime it can boot, somtimes it does not and black screen. Sometime after trying several time (force ti shutdown, restart power on), it boots and goes to be normal. Right now it won't work anymore.
At the left-bottom of laptop, there are 4 flash lights, the former 3 are working fine, and the last (4th. there is small arrow (two sides) in the center of cylinder, what does it mean?) does not flash. If it flashes fine, the computer works well, if not, won't work.
I clean the RAM fingerpin, won't work. Tried to connect with external screen, won't work. Remove BIOS battery, won't work. I tried another Hard Drive and RAM seperately, it does not work.
I did try this solution (How to fix Graphics Card in Lenovo R61 ), but it does not work for my computer.
I can press power button to force the laptop shut down, it looks like the motherboard has no problem
What is going on my laptop. Please help me of this trouble. Thanks a lot.
Happy Christmas and New Year.

Hi,
1) Yeah, somehow OS X has been messed up enough that it can't finish loading. What else have you done with it lately? When I went through my machine fiddling with Quicktime in the system Library folders, I ended up where you are.
2) I don't think you can fix it from the OF prompt. I had a daily backup of my drive, and so I was able to boot off of that. You can boot back into OS 9 though, by holding down the Option key after a cold boot's chime.
4) I'd say it's worth fixing. Beats plunking down $500 or more on a new machine.

Lenovo Ideapad S10

I thought I may as well start a s10 thread as there seems to be a thread for every other netbook. I just received mine and I will post anything relevant to the s10 on arch here. Perhaps others have arch on s10 comments.

Put something like

in your ~/.Xmodmap file, then you can map the XF86Audio* keys to the correct functions in your window manager. This may not be necessary in all window managers but I had to do this before fluxbox would recognize the keypresses.
[b]EDIT: This seems to only be necessary in flux for whatever reason. I'm back to my normal dwm and this messed the keybinds up, so I'll remove them from this thread until I do some further experimenting.
I also found that 866 what the best framebuffer resolution the same way you did
Instead of configuring in xorg.conf, I used hotplugging and an excerpt from a forum post to get the mousepad working correctly. I still have no xorg.conf. I will edit this post with the fdi file I used for the trackpad when I have my s10 with me.
I've tested the webcam, the linux-uvc-svn-all package in the aur works fine for me. The mic on the other hand looks like it needs a newer version of alsa -- http://www.linlap.com/wiki/lenovo+ideapad+s10 reports that .18a worked in ubuntu and the current package available in arch is .18. Alsa has release .19 and I quickly rebuilt the package to see if it would fix my problem but I had no luck. I probably need to rebuild more packages as well.
I have not tested the card reader but I plan on testing that when I get home tonight.

3 times loud beeping sound after press on button but never startup (mac min

I'm having trouble startup my mac mini(not intel duo core)... i had a hard reboot (popup a grey/black on the screen asking to restart by pressing the start button) which i did hold the start button then release then press to start up... but after that, there's 3 times loud beeping sound which i've never heard before and after that screen in blank and my mac mini wont start up.. The LED light indicator is on but i'll keeping blinking 4 times every 30 seconds or so... could anyone help me to resolve the issue?

Three beeps at startup indicate 'no good banks', meaning the system can't access the RAM.
It may be that your RAM itself is bad, or that it has come unseated. It could also indicate a more serious motherboard fault which prevents the RAM being accessed, but that is unlikely.
If you have opened the mini in the past it may be that the best way to check is to do so again and ensure the RAM is properly seated by removing it and reinserting. If you replaced the original RAM and still have the original stick, try putting that back in. Also note that Macs are typically very sensitive to RAM incompatibilities, and there have been cases where systems fail as yours appears to have done for no reason other than that a RAM stick was marginal in compatibility.
If you upgraded the RAM yourself and bought the replacement stick from a source such as Crucial.com which permits unconditional exchanges, contact them and arrange to have the memory replaced.
The link to the Apple page referring to the startup error beeps is at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58442

I disconnected my MAC when going on vacation when I went to power it up I got the tone but then a grey screen followed by 3 loud beeps has anyone ever had this happen?

I disconnected my IMac (Intel) when I was away when I reconnected it after the powering up tone I had a grey screen followed by 3 loud beeps and the beeps continued. Has anyone had this happen to them? I have tried to reboot in "safe mode" by holding "shift" key down after tone but that did not work. Any other suggestions?

Yes. This Apple document describes how to access the RAM on the various models of iMac: iMac: How to remove or install memory
First step would be to remove and reset firmly the RAM modules and give it another try. If that fails, remove the new RAM modules and replace with the original Apple modules that came with the Mac.
The more reliable sources for Mac RAM modules are Crucial.com and otherworldcompution.com. Both are very reliable and will guarantee your satisfaction.
Check to see where your son got the modules. Also check the modules carefully to make sure they match the specifications for your iMac exactly.

Ideapad S10-3 Model 0647 bios update failure, recovery possible?

I have downloaded and installed the latest bios version 37 (2acn37ww.exe).
The flashing tool indicated success and has stored a backup of the old bios.
But, after reboot the screen stays black.
In this forum similar problems have been discussed, but none of the presented procedures did help.
Has anyone successfully recovered the bios of an Ideapad S10-3 Model 0647?
If there is a solution to the problem, please advice me.
Greetings from Germany

Hi and welcome,,
did you upgrade memory ? If you did .. upgrade ... insert original memory .. try to start your s10-3 machine
..press F2 to access bios, then press F9 and load default settings in order to get machine works properly after new bios update. Lenovo cannot guarantee compatibilty with all memory manufacturers and modules..
...shut down and re-insert mem upgrade ...try to start ...
if you did no memory upgrade ...
call your local service

Loud beeping and no start up on MacBook. Please help

How do I install software from cd-rom onto my IdeaPad S10?

I just received my IdeaPad S10. How do I install software from a cd-rom onto it? I tried putting my cd-rom in my regular laptop and copying it onto a flash drive and then copying it to the IdeaPad. The installation starts, then I get a message that installation has stopped because the installation has been corrupted. Any easy ways to install software?

Here's what you can do.
Download virtual Clone drive (freeware) from here http://www.slysoft.com/en/download.html install it on your S10.
Now on your destop, make a backup ISO of your software CD or DVD.
I use this http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm it integrates with explorer on the right click menu. There are other solutions also.
Once your ISO is created you can copy it to your S10 via network, usb key, etc, and mount it as a drive letter with Virtual CLone drive.
Hope that helps.

How to change win 7 k to english in my ideapad s10-3

recently i bought a lenovo ideapad s10-3 netbook from korea( but i am not korean originally ), it is all good but there is created one problem for me that while i first opened it, at that time i all changed its language and place to us english and us, but it didn't appear in english when it went inside it came in korean language which i don't understand , so plzzzz help me
1. how to change it in english version?
2. is it possible to change without going to its service centre?
3. should i pay money for it?
4. can i do it directly from internet?
5. how long does it take?
plz reply me as soon as possible , i'm unable to use my ideapad s10-3 netbook until you help me

unless you have the ultimate and enterprise version of the win 7, then you can't change the menu system language, without having to purchase an English edition of the win 7 OS.
You will have to purchase a separate retail copy of Win 7 to install on your ideapad.

Pavilion dv6 - loud beeping sound when starting +sound problem

i just bought an hp pavilion dv6 notebook LR732PA and every time i turn it on there's a loud beeping sound, and i'm not sure if this is normal but it asks me where to boot from (pc hard drive) and which oS (windows 7 64-bit). does anyone know how to stop the beeping?
Also sometimes the sound stops working altogether and an icon appears on the screen with a circle moving around it, and when i try to put the volume up the bar slides back down. it usually can be fixed by closing some programs and processes, it happens sometimes when ive just got 2 programs running and i close one and its ok, or if its not i have to restart. is this something to do with RAM or some kind of sound setting?
Thanks =)

There could possibly be a RAM issue here are a couple of troubleshooting links that might resolve your issue or give you an idea what the beeping is referring to.
