I have a problem with my Notebook Lenovo IdeaPad G770 display

The colors are too pale..Is there an option to set the contrast of the display? Anyway the colors look terrible..I have installed the Intel X86 and Amd Radeon(for Windows 7 32 bit) drivers that came on the CD-Rom but no effect on screen colors(just on the resolution )..I set the brightness level (5 lines) but still no effect (but is very disturbing to the eye)....
It's my first IdeaPad notebook...
Configuration:
IdeaPad G770 Intel Core i3 2330M, HDD: 750GB, 8GB RAM, AMD Radeon HD 6370M

Solution to rfkill wireless problems w/ IdeaPad S12

I'm a new owner of a Via-based IdeaPad S12, and I've had some trouble getting the included Broadcom BCM4312 802.11 adapter to work in Linux.
I'm running Debian Lenny, and I have tried the latest stable kernel (linux-image-2.6.26-2-686 version 2.6.26-21lenny4) and the latest kernel from backports.org (linux-image-2.6.32-bpo.3-686 version 2.6.32-9~bpo50+1). I've tried the b43 driver (with firmware from package b43-fwcutter 1:011-5), the proprietary Broadcom "wl" driver, and ndiswrapper with the XP drivers that Lenovo makes available for download at http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/.
With b43, I'd get this from the kernel (either upon "ip link set eth-wlan up", or "iwlist scan", or starting wpasupplicant--I don't remember which):
b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/ucode15.fw
b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/lp0initvals15.fw
b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/lp0bsinitvals15.fw
b43-phy0: Loading firmware version 410.2160 (2007-05-26 15:32:10)
b43-pci-bridge 0000:02:00.0: PCI: Disallowing DAC for device
b43-phy0: DMA mask fallback from 64-bit to 32-bit
b43-phy0: Radio hardware status changed to DISABLED
b43-phy0: Radio turned on by software
b43-phy0: The hardware RF-kill button still turns the radio physically off. Press the button to turn it on.
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth-wlan: link is not ready
And with b43, "rfkill list" would indicate that the radio was enabled in software but disabled in hardware. "wl" and ndiswrapper would fail similarly (but without indicating that the problem had anything to do with a kill switch). I've tried flipping the hardware killswitch and pressing Fn+F5 in all cases (F5 has a wireless icon on it).
As a last resort to verify that the wireless or kill switch wasn't broken at the hardware level, I restored my backup of Windows and tried wireless in Windows. It only worked after hitting Fn+F5 and enabling wireless in the dialog box that Lenovo Energy Management pops up. After doing this, the wireless works great under Linux with the b43 driver.
I hope this helps some other frustrated Linux IdeaPad owners. I've spent at least a good 16-24 hours on this issue.
If you don't have Windows installed anymore, and don't have a backup, then install Windows again, and download the WLAN driver and Lenovo Energy Management from http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/, in order to enable wireless on your unit. And get in touch with Lenovo, politely encouraging them to have their engineers to work with the b43 developers to make sure that Linux wireless works out of the box as it does for Windows.

Ideacentre B320 display problem

I'm suffering from a display problem, and cannot figure if it's a software or hardware issue... I'm on Win7 64bit. Here are the symptoms:
1) For a while now, intermittently the screen would go grey (or some sort of a messed up pattern of rgb pixels) and I would have to power down forcefully. The frequency of this has gone up very much in the recent weeks
2) When the machine freezes, I can still hear the music playing, and Windows continues to do whatever it was doing before
3) Recently (I'm guessing after a Windows update), I wasn't able to boot into normal mode anymore. It would show the Windows splash screen, then before the login screen appears it would just go black and freeze. Leaving it for a long time doesn't lead to recovery
4) To try and fix this, I've updated the ATI driver to the latest version, which didn't work so progressively tried every version between the11.6 and 10.3 (4?) which was the default when the machine was purchased. No luck there. I've also flashed the bios and that didn't help either
5) I can boot into safe mode, so I disabled amdkmdap using sysinternal's autoruns.exe, which meant that I can boot into normal mode, but it woud fall back onto Windows' vga driver (1400x1050 only!)
6) Now, even in the low res mode, almost daily the grey screen freezing would happen and I would have to reboot. Tapping the power button allows the shutdown dialog to come up (I'm guessing), and pressing enter would shut down the machine then.
There's an awful lot of posts on the internet regarding people having issues with ATI HD6450 and similar category cards, some of which sound similar to my case. They too experienced the freezing problem and reverting or upgrading the drivers had no effect (many even reinstalled windows completely). It sounds like though, the problem is software in origin at a guess.
On the other hand, the machine is now 3-4 years old and I could imagine that the GPU or graphics memory might have suffered wear and tear -- emailing Lenovo support took a week to get a response, the only thing they asked was whether my warranty is still active (after that it's been a complete silence) are they usually this terrible?
The last thing is, when the problem first occurred I booted using a linux live CD and it was all fine, at full resolution graphics. I haven't repeated this experiment since it takes quite a while to boot from a CD... but suggested that the hardware is intact. In fact, by messing about with the drivers I was able to boot into Windows normal mode and operate for 1-2 days, after which the grey freeze happened again. I haven't been able to get back into that since.
Here is my question: Is there a way to find out whether it's software or hardware that's at fault? If it turns out to be hardware, what are my options at replacements? The GPU is soldered onto the motherboard, so do I have to replace the whole thing? If it's a software issue, would restoring to factory default state fix this issue, given that an unknown update could cause the same issue at any time... This is the last time I will buy an AIO without removable everything.

Welcome to the Lenovo Community !
Probably a good test of the hardware is use the Linux Live CD that you used earlier. If the graphics are still good when using the Live CD then your monitor and GPU are fine.
If the hardware checks out Ok then I suspect you have a driver problem. Try using a driver cleaner to fully uninstall the ATI driver since bit and pieces left over from previous driver installs can cause problems. The link below is for a free and highly recommended utility for cleaning the system of the graphic drivers. After the clean up I would try installing the original driver that came with your system.

Which LCD cable for Lenovo IdeaPad S12 (Series: 2959)

Hi!
I have a Lenovo IdeaPad S12 for three years now... and I am generally really happy with it
Since a few weeks, however, my display is not working properly anymore. Depending on the angle, certain colors change their appearance (white colours flicker blue-ish and dark colors show red-ish flickers). I have already stopped by a Laptop repair shop and the guy said that I need a new LCD cable and the hardware should be ok.
Does anybody know which exact cable I need? I have found three different cables on offer:
50.4CI11.001
50.4CI11.002
50.4CI12.001
Is it possible to say only with my series number (2959) which of the three I need?

Dear customer
Welcome in lenovo forums

IdeaPad S12 (Intel) crashes while gettin to hibernate mode

Hallo, I have a problem with an IdeaPad S12 2959 and Windows 7 Professional x86. The Netbook works fine but it won't go to hobernate mode. When I click on the button for hibernate the screen gets dark but the netbook doens't turn off. Is that issue an known bug? Is there a fix known like a BIOS update? Thank you for your help.

Hi and welcome,
there is no BIOS update at all for Ideapad S12 Intel version..
Did you approve all settings in Lenovo Energy Management and windows 7 ?
LEM settings
Could be a driver problem , that prevent windows to hibernate.. actual driver for Ideapad S12 Intel ..

Graphics display problems (dialog boxes) Lenovo G50 AMD A6 Win 8.1

Graphics display problems Lenovo G50 AMD A6 Win 8.1 Greetings to all. After having spent a number of days trying to find a solution to a display problem, I turn to this forum for help. I own a Lenovo G50 AMD A6 Win 8.1 ever since November 2014, and have had display problems ever since the first day, be it while using internet (Firefox or Explorer) or various software (Text editors, etc.). Many dialog boxes, including colour settings and controls (open, close etc.) either have an inappropriate appearance or even do not appear at all! I manage to "click" on the right places using memory: most areas are INVISIBLE! Another example would be that I do not see any backround colour or image on most webpages such as this one).  Some suggestions included checking for graphics updates (but the drivers used were already up-to-date).  I 'd be most obliged for any new suggestions. Thank you very much. George

Greetings to all, I finally decided to express my utmost discontent with- the Lenovo G50-45 I bought before Christmas 2014,- the summary response with inappropriate links that I received after exposing my problem- the fact that I tried to dowload the following graphics driver  (Beema) AMD Driver (VGA, HDAudio, SATA) for Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
exe
526 MB
Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
VGA V14.502.1002.1002-Logo'd_HDAudio v9.0.0.9905_SATA v1.3.1.220;VGA v13.302.1601.1001_HDAudio v9.0.0.9905_SATA v1.3.1.220
3/19/2015from here(http://support.lenovo.com/fr/fr/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/g50-45-notebook-lenovo/downloads/DS100174), and after REFUSING to accept cookies and some "Lenovo Service Bridge", finally managed to obtain something HERE(http://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-IdeaPad-G50-45-Notebook-Review-Update.125641.0.html).  I find it quite disrespectful to NOT provide customers with EASY support, as well as avoiding to answer their requests for further help when some simplistic "assistance" that one can find almost anywhere on the web leads to no further solution. I shall not repeat the problems I have faced till now: vide supra. The problem, however, is NOT just with browsers.I simply cannot see any dialog box content and colour in MANY software programs, such as OPEN OFFICE; for instance: PRESENTATION colour dialog boxes show BLANK squares instead of squares filled with different colours. This has occured AVER SINCE DAY ONE! Finally, a new bug has appeared: Windows 8.1 keeps popping up some email program to which I am invited to register - I never created a Windows email account, and certainly don't intend to do so.NOR shall I accept some "Lenovo Service Bridge", however "discreet and inoffensive" it might be. I don't know if there are any legal grounds for customers to complain for all these problems. I DO know, however, that I shall NEVER buy a LENOVO device ever again. The pricing and processor might be competitive => yet, the support that ensues is, as far as I'm concerned, LAMENTABLE. To make a presentation, I have to switch to a Samsung R20 using XP..... What is the meaning of all this? George

Spotify won't run on my IdeaPad S12

Hi!
A few months ago, I bought myself the Lenovo IdeaPad S12 and I am very satisfied with this netbook.
However, I'm not able to run Spotify on this computer.
I replaced Windows XP with Ubuntu Netbook Remix (first, I tried with Ubuntu 9.10, but it wouldn't run as smooth as I thought it would do....), and I installed Wine and thereafter I installed Spotify. When I had Ubuntu 9.10 running, it worked for a few days, before Spotify collapsed. On Ubuntu NR it won't play music at all. That said: It will play for a few seconds, but it's not possible to hear that this actually is music, it's just noise.....
When I try later on I get the message: "There is a problem with your soundcard. Spotify can't play music".
I've tried to get the sound to work with Wine Config, and I do get a sound when I press "Test Sound", but Spotify is as useless as it were before I started Wine Config.
Can anyone help?? I'm getting a bit frustrated.....

Never mind, I finally got it to work.... I accidently restarted my computer - and then it worked.....

X230i display problem.

Hello! I've got a problem with imaging on му ThinkPad x230i (TN matrix, core i3 2370m, Intel HD 3000, Windows 7 x64). There are ripples when changing an angle and/or when moving the screen corresponding eyes. Besides, cursorial pixels appear around the Windows slot when moving. This problem is described here "http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Y-U-V-Z-and-P-series/Widespread-Y560-Display-Problem/td-p/238949..." in details. Also it is shown on this video "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ikm9aaLcDHk". It is about different model (y560) on the video but I have the same challenge. In the y560 model, the problems had been decided by the BIOS updating.
Should I wait for the BIOS updating for the x230i or do I have to contact the Service?
Has anybody this problem?

Hi, Legate
What version of BIOS are you currently running? The latest version is 2.06 and was released earlier this month. If you haven't already, I would definitely recommend making sure your BIOS is up to date before contacting support, especially if it solved the error you are facing on another machine.
Best,
Adam

Wierd lines on my display and frequent lock-ups w/ and w/o display problems

When booting I sometimes get weird lines and blocks on my display (the GRAY Apple screen) and then it hangs, other times the computer will boot and run fine for 20-30 minutes and then the display goes wonkers with blocks and lines and the computer does not respond. The only way I can get it to boot is to reset the PRAM by letting it CHIME 3x and then occasionally it will boot without issue and run, while other times I still get the blocks and lines on the display.
When I am able to get it to recover and re-boot after the lock-up and display problems and occasionally the box in the middle asking me to re-boot similar to a kernel panic the OPS gives me the option to REPORT the error and here is the error for others who would know more...
Thank you in advance,
Darren

Anyone know what is causing my problems? I thought it was heat so I downloaded a CPU and FAN temperature monitor and the CPU was getting VERY HOT at first so I then ramped-up the CPU FAN SPEED to maximum - it turns out the CPU FAN was not rotating well at low speed - since then I have cleaned and checked the fans and they all work as they should and blow on high(er) when the CPU temperature is above a certain level.

Is there a kb article or something that would illuminate what to look for in these logs, or is it a matter of learning by osmosis?
Both. I am not skilled in reading logs. It is a very technical and time consuming task for the uninitiated (me!) In scanning a log I look for the backtrace and loading dependencies. The first item in the backtrace is usually the roadblock.
Beyond that you can look at the Technical Note TN2063: Understanding and Debugging Kernel Panics

Display Problem with RowHeader of a Scroll Pane

Hi,
I am trying to display row headers for a table using another table
Here is the code
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
public class RowNumberHeader extends JTable {
protected JTable mainTable;
public RowNumberHeader(JTable table) {
    super();
    mainTable = table;
    setModel(new RowNumberTableModel());
    setRowSelectionAllowed(false);
    JComponent renderer = (JComponent)getDefaultRenderer(Object.class);
public int getRowHeight(int row) {
    return mainTable.getRowHeight();
class RowNumberTableModel extends AbstractTableModel {
    public int getRowCount() {
      return mainTable.getModel().getRowCount();
    public int getColumnCount() {
      return 1;
    public Object getValueAt(int row, int column) {
      return new Integer(row + 1);
}and then
        JTable displayTable = new JTable(...);
        scrollPane = new JScrollPane(displayTable);
        JViewport jvp = new JViewport();
        jvp.setView(new RowNumberHeader(displayTable));
        scrollPane.setRowHeader(jvp);the problem I have is that when a row is selected inside the row header, some rows go blank and you can see the selection is all screwed up. I tried setting the selection mode to ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION but that didn't help.
A refresh of the entire screen (minimize/maximize) seems to resolve the problem. I am using jdk1.4.1 in Windows 2000.
Any ideas?
Sylvain

Again the problem is that when you click on the row headers, some row header rows go blank (completely white) so you can't see what they show.
ie say I have table
Row 1 - 1 2 3
Row 2 - 2 4 5
Row 3 - 5 7 7
Row 4 - 5 6 7where Row X is the row header. So for example, if you click on Row 2, you will get something like
Row 1 - 1 2 3
Row 2 - 2 4 5
      - 5 7 7
Row 4 - 5 6 7until the screen is refreshed or you click some other row header.
hmm ok, I added calling repaint on the table whenever a row is selected and at least the display problem goes away; however, the selected indexes from the event don't always match the index of the row selected. I think actually that may be the source of the display problem.
Here is the code I added in the constructor:
        getSelectionModel().addListSelectionListener(new ListSelectionListener()
            public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e)
                System.out.println("Header table selection is: First = " + e.getFirstIndex() +
                                   " Last = " + e.getLastIndex());
                RowNumberHeader.this.repaint();
        });

My original post, locked by this forum. Display problem related

Hi G5 Gurus,
The display problem first, we all know when screen savers display, a click on the mouse will bring you back to the active desktop, this was how it worked., but now, sometimes a click cause the G5 to sleep!
As for the sleep, I dare not to put it to sleep these days, because I am afriad it may cause a fire by over heating. Sometmes, actually four times in the past few months, my G5 could wake up by itself, followed by a extrem high speed running of the cooling fan, it sounded like a hair dryer running in the same room. Sometimes the sreen could light up, just like real wake up, sometimes, it was black. No clicks the mouse or keyboeard could bring it back to normal, I had to press and hold the power button to turn it off.
This crazy problem happened for the first time last summer, a dead hard disk was the cost. Apple replaced it, but failed to detect the cooling or power or display problem. I was given one month extended free service, but right after its end, the problem was back and happened even more often.
Please let me know if any of you had the same problem and please advise what to do.
100s Gs of thanks.

I have the EXACT same problem. In fact, I could not have described it better myself. What gives? I brought it in to the "genius" bar and they repolaced the power supply free of charge but the problem is still there. I noticed they ordered a new logic board but did not end up replacing it after all. Did you have yours replaced and did it work? Is this a known issue?

Hi La teller,
Thank you for your reply. The 'genius' here in London only replace the dead hard disk, which I belive was a victim of this problem. I was told they couldn't find anything wrong with the power supply or the cooling system.
Now at lest I know I am not the only bad luck guy. Let's wait and see if others are having the same problem. I am not sure if this is a known issue to Apple, even if it is, it may take years before they can offer a recall or free repaire. I noticed that some G5s have already been suffering from power problems and a free repaire was offered.
Thank you again and hope Apple can take our concerns into their consideration soon.

Hello,
I'm also having this problem (fan running, won't come out of sleep), just spoke with an apple care rep. He confirmed my suspition that it was software, not hardware as I have just had the logic board and power supply replaced.
His suggestions were to:
1. Run disk repair from the startup CD
try running OS X from a firewire drive and see if the same behavior happens or
perform and archive and install.
When the fan starts to run like that it means the OS is not communicating with the hardware properly. The OS could be somewhat corrupt if you were having hardware issues beforehand, hence the need for a reinstall. I will be performing an archive and install after the disk repair, I'll let you know if it fixes the problem!

Hi Stopha6,
Thank you for your message. I never imagined it could be a software issue, cos it looked so hardware.
Please keep me updated with your progress.
By the way, as I said in my old posts, a hard disk went dead when this happened for the very first time, how do you read this?
Thank you.

Hi Stopha6,
After reading your reply again, I realized that the system had already been reinstalled. As I said when it happened for the first time, the hard disk died with it, which was replaced, of course with a new OS X, but the same problem is still happening. May this suggest that it is not just a software problem? Thank you. Songyan

The Fans going at full is only because you have an application that is using a lot of cpu power and therefore causing the imac to heat up so it turns the fans on. The screen-saver and sleep problem you describe sounds like something that may just happen on accident. But this sounds mostly like a software problem. Try making sure to always quit all non-apple products and see if anything changes.

Thank you, Ag-Nate. I will try as you adivised but I con't think the fans were activeted my intensive CPU using. In most of the cases, the problems happened when the Mac was sleeping, when the minimum CPU were being used.

"The Fans going at full is only because you have an application that is using a lot of cpu power and therefore causing the imac to heat up so it turns the fans on."
That's only partly right. A hard-working process will make the fans run at high speed, of course.
But, the OS is in touch with the firmware of the iMac, telling it how to run the fans, based upon information the OS X kernel is getting about the state of the hardware.
If the firmware loses touch with the OS for some reason, and is not getting instructions on how to run the fan, it will default to running them at full blast, to be on the safe side (and this "full blast" fan mode is way louder than anything you'll generally experience during normal usage, I know from experience).
So it may not be so simple as a hard-working cpu process kicking the fans on.

Hi I have a 20" G5 imac it's about 18 months old and I am having the same problem, It freezes and the fan runs really loud. It's nothing to do with software as my I.T. guy has done a complete re-install. All of our admin people have imacs of differring ages and the flat panels are all OK but every one of the G5s has had a booting problem. Some fell into the recall for replacement logic boards but the one I have at home is the newest and doesn't. I'm waiting for my apple reseller to get back to me, but it looks like it's the logic board and as none of the serial numbers fall into the recall, I'm expecting a big bill. I'm really disappointed as I've been a professional apple user for over 15 years and have grown to expect a certain amount of honesty and integrity from them. Looking at all of the discussion boards and the amount of people complaining of the same problem the logic boards are defective and apple should be replacing these free of charge.

Kensall,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
As in the other thread I wrote:
Being from England, you may find the repair program under these pages:

Check both of them as they refer to different models.
If neither of yours is under the program, please start a new topic thread so someone can help you.

First off, you'll get a wider audience who may be able to solve your problem. Secondly, responses to you won't confuse the original poster with solutions that don't apply to them. And thirdly, you'll know for certain whether or not a response applies to you.

I am having a very similar problem. My G5 imac has already had the logic board replaced from the leaking capacitor problem. 8 mos. later the power supply was replaced under the second recall program when it failed to start up.
It had been working now for almost a year, when about 3 mos. ago I started to experience the sudden dimming effect - if the display was untouched the screen would dim about 30% similar to a laptop in energy save mode. I checked and none of these types of options were set in the pref panes. At the same time I would have the iMac go to sleep after a while from non-use, and then when I tried to wake it it would stir for a few seconds and then go right back to sleep. It took 2-3 attempts to wake it up.
Then last week, as I tried to wake it, it just shut down instead completely. I had to hold the power button down to recycle it to get it to come back to life (3 times).
Today was it - I found what I thought was a sleeping iMac, but it will not power up at all. I opened the back cover and the power supply is working, but I cannot get the board to energize, I reset the PMU, but the #2 LED won't even blink. It is completely dead.
Basically every time I used this computer I held my breath that it would not work. After 2 recalls I still only get 9 mos. out of it? Apple is really starting to show it is like the "big" computer makers, the quality is going right down the tubes.

Why is netflix having display problems on my macbook pro... HDCP compliance?

Watching Netflix and all of a sudden it says "Display Problems" Make sure your monitor is HDCP Compliant and is not setup for mirror airplay??

The issue is from Safari defaulting to HTML5 vs using Silverlight like it did in Mavericks.
So the options are, if you want to use Safari goto your Netflix account, playback preferences and turn off HTML5. This will revert to Silverlight and will AirPlay fine*in Safari.
If you want to use HTML5, just leave the setting for HTML5 on in Netflix and use Chrome, Firefox, etc.
You can't currently have both Safari and HTML5 Netflix when using AirPlay. You'd think Safari would be a little bit more powerful with Apples stances on browser extensions.
