IdeaPad U430p - Win 8.1 watermark SecureBoot

Hi, I bought before +- 14 days notebook IdeaPad U430p Grey
with configurations i5-4200u 8gb ddr3 geforce 730m
in notebook is preinstalled original windows 8 64bit
because i have msdn account i have original iso windows 8.1 64bit
so i after fresh install windows 8 from onerecovery i upgrade with this iso on win 8.1
for installing i used key what provide microsoft and for activation after installing win8.1 i used key from lenovo original windows 8.
activation is okay and windows 8.1 shows that is all okay.
I HAVE ONLY ONE MAIN PROBLEM!
in widnows 8.1 in lower right corner windows shows watermark with text "Not configured SecureBoot"
but i install windows 8 and after upgrade on 8.1 with UEFI in bios and in bios I have "Enabled" SecureBoot.
When I call into microsoft, microsoft support tell me "go to bios and enabled secureboot" but I have enabled this features.
Please help me with this, because this watermark is really annoying, Thanks.
Solved!

so on this notebook will be able to win8.1 operating system only with this feature turn-off?
Answer: I can't answer your question. In the first place I really would not be installing a beta, RTM, or whatever except the final version on my system. Since you have install it then you must have made the assertion to yourself that you qualify as an IT professional as stated in the warning sign in microsoft's website. And that you are capable of solving whatever problem that you may encounter due to the installation.
What users upgrade via store from 8 on 8.1, what after?
It will have all the users who will upgrade watermark? It's crazy
Answer: You don't understand what that version is for. It is not for everybody yet. So not all user are installing it. I have installed it once in a virtual box but remove it later.
(and turn-off feature SecureBoot in bios this isn't best solution if you understand me what i mean,
because for this must user before installing Win OS set in bios legacy mode too, but in upgrading via store this isn't fresh install OS but only upgrading, so this can not be done)
Answer: You ask for help so I presented you my help. It is not for you to make a criticism out of it but to solve what you have describe. Why would you use legacy mode? Can you explain why? Is it necessary to install Win 8.1 preview through the store? I install mine not through the store. I do not have the time to make any explanation for every suggestion made. If you want a full understanding go to some institution or forum that provide such a service.

S410p not have SecureBoot in Bios - win 8.1 watermark problem

i can't find secureboot in bios, why?

It looks like PCI-E driver causes the problem. If I delete the PCI-E root port, Windows restarts, installs drivers again, and I have WIFI until next restart (so the problem is, that Win8 cannot turn on wireless). I think, that if I can find a driver for this AMD RS880M chipset, it can solve my problem. But I cannot find anywhere, so I cannot test it.
So, when Win 8 shuts down, it turns off wireless, am I right? So the other way could be a simple setting to disable the Win8 to turn off the WIFI (and bluetotth, because I have the same problem with it, but I don't care about BT).
Can anybody help me where can I find a driver (AMD autoupdate couldn't help me, either Lenovo System Update), or where can I disable WIFI's turning off (in BIOS it's always on, and in Windows's power management too)?
Thanks!

Ideapad U430p, Swap function keys and my cat

So I bought the U430p and after installing the complete system new, I am quite happy with it. Obviously my cat also. I disabled in the Bios the Hotkey that I don't have to press all the time Fn+one of the function keys to access these. However, I read this forum and several others asked also this question, however my cat must have found a hidden key combination to swap the Fn keys back after stepping or sleeping on my notebook. It happened already 2 times, that I pressed F2 (to rename a file) and the loudness was going down. F5 and the window closes. So I went back to the BIOS and to my surprise the Hotkey was still disabled(!). So I enabled it and disabled it again, Exit and save settings and all was back to normal. Pressing the Decrease Volume was F2 again, so I could rename w/o pressing the Fn key. Until 2 days ago, same situation, cat stepped at night on the notebook and I had to suffer again that selecting F2 was only possible with the Fn Key. Bios same, Hotkey was still disabled. My question is now: what is the secret hotkey in Windows (or login screen) to swap the Fn keys. If my cat can do it, I wanna do it also Cheers Tom

I have the same problem, and I really can't understand why do they do such things! I even can't get a normal answer from Lenovo about it. I like Thinkpads, they are great designed & they have a lot of unique features, most of them could be customized, exept this! Why??? I can't belive that it's so hard to remap 2 buttons using BIOS! The problem is that the FN key doesn't generate a scan code, which could be recognized by the software, i tried numerous programs to remap the FN button, but it's useless. You can do it only in 2 ways: 1. mechanical - to swap them fisically, but it's hard, dangerous & the warranty will be lost of course. 2. BIOS remapping which can be done only by Lenovo or maybe by somobody, who can hack the BIOS. So, Dear Lenovo Experts PLEASE do this feature for us, we REALLY neeed it! We need it much more than "keyboard customizer", more than "easy eject", more than "media center" becouse we use the left CTRL button every minute, working on your notebook!

IdeaPad U430p Display funktioniert nach Anschluss an Monitor nicht mehr

Hallo liebe Lenovo-Community,
ich hoffe ihr könnt mir bei meinem Problem behilflich sein.
Mein Problem ist folgendes:
Wenn ich das Ideapad an einen externen Monitor anschließen und danach wieder abschließe, funktioniert das Display des IdeaPads nicht mehr richtig. Das heißt konkret, dass das Display beleuchtet ist aber komplett schwarz ist. Erst wenn ich das Notebook im abgesichterten Modus neustarte funktioniert das Display wieder. Den Treiber der Graka habe ich aktualisiert.
Vielen Dank im Voraus.
Gruß,
Tarik

Hallo Tarik,
danke für die Rückmeldung.
Also normal ist es definitiv nicht!
Das Display sollte eigentlich nach drücken der Funktionstaste umswitchen, spätestens aber nach Neustart des Gerätes.
Deinstalliere doch einmal den Grafik-Treiber, starte das System neu und installiere dann den ursprünglichen Grafik-Treiber.
Sollte das Problem weiterhin vorhanden sein, kontaktiere einmal unseren Technischen-Support diesbezüglich:
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/supportphonelist_alt1
Schönen Gruß, Marcel

Ideapad u430p adaptive brightness disable issue

Hello,
I have an issue with turning adaptive brightness(brightness changes depending on what the screen is showing) off for u430p(both plugged and unplugged). I have tried it multiple ways:
From intel control pannel,
From services (disabled sensor)
In power management I even have adaptive brightness off (both plugged and unplugged)
If anyone found a fix for this particular model, please let me know. It drives me insane and don't know why they haven't made this option to be easily disabled.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I had the same issue, it was present on both linux and windows. The laptop came with BIOS 7CCN34WW and even though it is not mentioned in the changelog, upgrading to 7CCN61WW fixes the problem.

Lenovo IdeaPad Z710 Win 8.1 - Freezes und eine neverending Story...

Hallo Community, bin noch relativ neu hier und habe vor ca. 4 Monaten das o.g. Notebook erstanden.Seit ca. drei Monaten gibts permanent Probleme mit Freezes beim Startup. Meistens erscheint der Freeze nach der Anmeldung, gerne auch mal mittendrin, sodass es während der Anmeldung schon zum Freeze kommt. Nach einem Neustart passiert erstmal gar nix... lädt und lädt, irgendwann gehts dann. Das Problem taucht ca. alle 2 - 3 Wochen auf und gerne muss ich das Notebook mehrfach komplett vom Strom trennen und auf gut Glück neustarten. Was hab ich bisher unternommen?Energy Management neu heruntergeladen, anschließend auch Hardware-Scan (Langzeit) ausgeführt - dieser verlief ohne Probleme Laufwerksreparatur (was am Anfang vor dem Booten von Windows kommt, ist ebenfalls durchgelaufen.. hat länger gedauert, jedoch wurden keine Probleme festgestellt.

Bevor ich mich an den Support wende, möchte ich daher mal anfragen, ob jemand von Euch noch eine Idee hat, was hier schlussendlich die Ursache ist? Treiber sind übrigens alle vorhanden, im Geräte-Manager habe ich keine Probleme feststellen können. Danke Euch und viele Grüße Marko50

Hello rabsr-
Welcome to the Best Buy Forums!
Sometimes learning all the features and programs on a new computer can be intimidating and you may need help. I know I’ve run into this roadblock before and it definitely can ruin some of the excitement of a new purchase.
With that being said, most manufacturers will not offer in-depth instructions on the programs they’ve created without charging for it. However, many times you can find tutorials online that may help you get the most out of that program or at least get you going in the right direction. My recommendation would be to search out the name of this program on your favorite search engine and see what you can find.
Hopefully you can find something that will help you get the most out of this program and computer.
Sincerely,

External Monitor not working with U430P

I have a U430P laptop and a Dell U2412M external monitor. Both have worked great together until yesterday, all of a sudden my external monitor won't work, the screen is black and my laptop doesn't recognize the device. I have tested the monitor on another laptop and it works fine. I have tested my cord on another system and it too works fine. What is wrong with my U430P? This laptop is only 5 months old! Thank you.

Help on purchasing IdeaPad laptop

Hi everybody,
I wanna get a new laptop and so far Lenovo IdeaPad seams the right choice, especially for the cool aluminum design.
I'll use it mostly for web/software dev and little bit of design (I'll do this on my desktop but just in case) on both, Linux and Windows 8.
So far I stumbled over IdeaPad U410 and 430p. (http://shop.lenovo.com/ro/ro/laptops/ideapad/u-series/u430p/) (http://shop.lenovo.com/ro/ro/laptops/ideapad/u-series/u410/).
Not sure what to choose however. Also, I don't know what are the system configurations in these cases.
For example, is there any IdeaPad U430p with this configuration?
Intel® Core™ i5-4258U (if not Intel® Core™ i7-3517U)
1 TB, optional 16 GB built in SSD
Full HD 250 nits (1960 x 1080)
8GB DDR3L 1600 MHz
Windows 8 Pro x64
If not, what's the closest I can get to this? But with Windows Pro if possible.
And just to make sure, U430p has a aluminum body or it's plastic? So far I've only seen U410 and it looks cool.
I also appreciate any suggestions

Ideapad U310 Windows 7 64bit, YouCam not working

I have a 1.5yr old Ideapad U310, Win 7 64 bit with inbuilt webcam. The camera is not working and cant be swiched on.
Neither thru YouCam software or through Skype. Was weoring perfectly a month ago.
The Product shown in the the Device manager under Imaging Device "Lexmark X422" WITH AN EXclamation mark.
There is a youCam software which doesnt work as says switch on camera. Fn F9 done the camera is still not ON but icon says on. Reinstalled the Youcam software twice, but issue remains "Camera to be switched on".
Please advise.

hi vtrakroo,
The Lexmark X422 that you're seing is likely the scanner from your Lexmark printer (the built-in camera should usually be listed as Lenovo Easy Camera or similar)
- Sample image
Things that you can try:
1. Boot into the BIOS by pressing F2 (or Fn+F2). In the BIOS, press F9 (or Fn+F9) to load setup defaults then press F10 (or Fn+F10) to save and exit.
- this procedure will refresh all hardware components in the system
2. Inside Windows, check if you have an Unknown Device in the Other Devices section. If you have this, follow this guide on how to identify the device (or post the Hardware ID here)
- Sample image
3. Reinstall the camera driver
- Camera Driver (Bison, Chicony, Awazu) for Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)
Let me know how it goes.
Regards

Hi Sutanshu,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to inform you that changes made in BIOS cannot be reverted back, but if you have installed Windows 8.1 in the computer restoring it back to Windows 8 should remove the Water mark automatically.
Do post us back for further queries.

U430p keyboard lights up for half second then dies

Hey guys, My IdeaPad U430p is on the fritz. Syptoms: At first, I thought it was out of battery. When I press the power button, the keyboard and power button will light up (screen is blank), but only for a half second and then it all goes blank. I charged it up, battery light on, then let it sit for a few hours without the charging cable. Again, even when charged, the same thing happens. My brother mysteriously got it to work the other day when I wasn't around, but now it is back to only turning on for half a second. Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, how have you managed to fix it? Also, does anyone know what causes this?Thank you, Lauren

After 7 months white spots are showing

First I'd like to start by saying, i wear glasses, and I had to use magnifying glass as well to read the serial number. Second, it appears you cannot submit service tickets? 3rd this screen is ridiculously blue. I had to use a colorimeter to correct it as much as possible with a dynamic brightness that can't be disabled..
I bought my Father this laptop and he only uses it for email/web and watching soccer. The laptop always stays in the same place, and it is in immaculate condition. After 7 months there appears to be white spots which appear to be much more noticable with the dynamic brightness at full and only on certain colors, for example white.
There are only 2 white spots and I'm not sure if they are growing yet, but I assume he will have more in the future. Do they know what causes this? How is this fixed?
