Lenovo B560 8Gb Upgrade

Hi mates,
I have some questions about update my notebook:
Lenovo B560 i5-460M/4GB/500GB/GF 310M/15.6"
I have bought two units of DDR3:
Kingston ValueRAM 4GB DDR3 1333MHz PC3-10600 CL9 SODIMM (P/N: KVR13S9S8/4)
Bios boot, but when boots Win8.1 shows an error and reboot.
In the kingston website, shows that this motherboard allows 2x4Gb DDR3 SODIMM, but in Lenovo website shows 4Gb max.
I have readed in this forum, some users had upgrade to 8GB.
I have checked the BIOS to change the FSB but is not possible.
Can you help me??
thanks for advance.

hello there,
as i believe, you have reached the limits already. sorry to say but (oh no!) upgrading the motherboard is not possible for different reasons.

Lenovo B560 Upgrade Questions

I have a lenovo B560 with in intel pentium, Intel HD Graphics Card, and 4GB DDR3 Ram (I Think) and i'm wanting to upgrade the graphics card now and don't know which one to get. I'm also goanna replace the processor later on.
Thank You For Any Help.

Hi Pheonix...
Intel HD graphics is integrated with the CPU, a dedicated graphics chip would need to be soldered to the main-board.
If you swap the CPU with a more powerful one you probably need to install a larger heat-sink as well.
In short... upgrading is not very practical, may think of selling your B560 and buy a more powerful laptop.
good Luck... Zehn

Lenovo G550 processor upgrade

I am upgrading a Lenovo G550 that I purchased a few years ago for my wife. So far I was able to install 8GB or RAM and a 500GB HDD with no issues. However when I tried to upgrade the processor, the laptop would not power up. It will turn on and the lights will indicate that the HDD is on and the battery is on, but I do not get the Lenovo splash screen. I hear my fan going but nothing happens. Only a black screen. I purchased an Intel Core 2 Duo processor P7550 (2.26GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 3MB L2 Cache) based on the speciation sheet below. I was wondering if anyone might know where I could find any documentation that specifically lists what CPUs are compatible with the Lenovo G550. Ideally I'd like to install the best processor it will take. Thank you.

hi there,
I haven't seen a G550 with a Intel Core 2 Extreme Mobile QX9300 CPU but if you bought it working from a G550 laptop or it has a lenovo FRU on it then it may work (it'll also good if you can return the item just in case it doesn't work).
In addition, take note that the QX9300 has a max TDP of 45W, whereas the CPU's listed in this pdt datasheet are only 35W so the motherboard might not take the heat if the QX9300 reaches it's peak usage.
Also, I've looked into some additional details and these are the CPU's that are tested to work with the G550.

Windows 7 Setup won't work on Lenovo B560

My Lenovo B560 Laptop was slow to a point it would crash a few minutes after login, and after restarting one day it would blue screen when I tried to start it up in safe mode, last known good configuration and startup repair. Everytime I would boot to my Windows 7 install disc for Lenovo it would get to the Disc Partition select screen and just stay there loading. I had my hard drive taken out and reformatted and when trying to install windows 7 again, it gets to the Disc Partition select screen and just stays there loading. This screen only loaded once, and it got to the unloading windows files and stayed there. How do I get the setup to go all the way through?

Your hdd may be in trouble,please check the state of your hdd by using and of the hdd diagnostic tools(bootable ones should help)

Installing Lenovo Windows 7 upgrade in a new hard disk

I have an U330 and I have received Lenovo Windows 7 upgrade disc. My pre-installed OS is Windows Vista.
I bought a new 500 Gb hard disk and I want to change my U330's hd for this new one AND also want to install Windows 7 in this new hard disk.
Question: is is possible to install windows 7 using Lenovo Windows 7 upgrade discs directly in this new hard disk?
Or do I need first to change the hard disk (and restore backup or restore factory default) and then upgrade to Windows 7?
Thanks in advance

I dont think it is possible,the upgrade disk will check for a eligible version of Windows vista before starting the installtion
Cheers and regards,

Lenovo B560 motherboard replacement

Hi,
My dear laptop died on me about a month ago. It wouldn't do anything when pressing the power button and the power led would not light when connected to power. Tried with or without the battery, no led, no power. I checked with another cable and I checked my cable on another laptop and it worked so the issue has nothing to do with the power cable.
I took the laptop to my universities repair shop for a diagnosis and they said the Motherboard is dead.
Any suggestion where I could find a brand new motherboard replacement in the UK?
Thanks,
sorband

Lenovo B560 - No wireless!!

Hi, I have a Lenovo B560 laptop, and I've had it for almost 2 years now. I remember I didn't have wireless when I baught it, it just didn't detect any wireless ever, and then after months, it just did. I don't know how it happened, but for a while I could detect wireless. Now I formated my hard drive and reinstalled windows (7 , 64-bit) ..and I again don't have any wireless connection, no matter where I go. Can you please help me figure this out? Thanks a lot!

hi tezebe,
Okay so what you'll need are these
FingerPrinterReader
BioExcess
cabx06ww.exe
25.4MB
Network Controller
Intel Wireless WiFi Link Driver
IN1WLN67WW5.exe
20.8MB
PCI Simple Communication Controller
Intel Management Engine Interface Driver
Version: 8.0.4.1441/8.0.0.1262
"Unknown Device" Make sure you don't have any third party usb devices plugged in because those maybe what's triggering the unknown device.
For this we need to figure out what type of device this is.
Can you try to download and install AIDA 64 Extreme Edition and post the DEVICE INFO of the unknown device information the I'll let you know what Driver to download for that.:
Check this sample image on how to get a device info:

Let me know what happened.

New Lenovo B560 without any OS (software) - how to install Windows XP Pro?

I just bought a new Lenovo B560 and it has no any software ... When I tried to install Window XP Pro, my new computer did not recognize the CD drive and I tried to go to the BIOS configuration and change the SATA Controller working mode to be compatible and that the boot device menu to be a CD ... But nothing happened ... Does anyone have any idea? What should I do to start with this XP OS installation?

when you press f12, you should be able to see the devices name. also, post the names.
to install windows xp from cd, you need to set dvd device as first device.

Lenovo Windows 7 Upgrade questions (please help)

Dear Lenovo Community:
I recently purchased a Thinkpad T500 and signed up for the Lenovo Windows 7 Upgrade Program. I have a few questions that I haven't been able to find the answers to elsewhere. I was hoping some of you could help:
1) Will the Lenovo Windows 7 Upgrade disc include both the 32 and 64 bit install options? My T500 came loaded with Vista Ultimate 32, but I would like to do a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 if possible.
2) I've recently heard a lot about the Lenovo Enhanced Experience. Can anyone briefly explain what this is? Will I be able to take advantage of all the EE features with my T500 using the Windows 7 Upgrade?
3) My computer came pre-loaded with 3 drives (or maybe they're partitions?): C:, Q: (Lenovo), and S: (ServiceV003). How will these drives/partitions be affected with the Windows 7 Upgrade if I opt for a clean install? Will I be able to eliminate the Q: and S: drives if I want? (I have a Samsung Solid State Drive by the way, in case this matters.)
4) Finally, when will the Upgrade discs be shipping? Lenovo and Mentor Media have been rather silent about when we will receive our upgrades. Can we expect an e-mail update indicating that our order has shipped?
Thanks for your help!

1. Bit foggy on this. Will have to do a clean install for sure. Not sure if 32 and 64 bit are on same disk. As you have ultimate, you might be at an advantage here.
2. Look at the videos in other threads. You will get "some" of the benefit. I'm actually guessing wiht a clean install, you will have afaster machine than one of the EE ones with all of the crapware
3. re-partition into a single drive. They will be of no use to you. Or, pop out the drive and clean install to a new SSD ($250) or WD Scorpio Black ($75) drive for extra speed. I'm doing this giving me the option of putting the old drive back in to have Vista in factory condition if I ever need to (I don't expect to and will probably wipe the drive and re-use it in 6 months).
4. Other thread suggested 1/2 have shipped and rest will ship next week.

Which model of Lenovo smartphone are upgrade able to kit kat 4.4

Hey I would like to know which model of Lenovo smartphone are upgrade able to kit kat 4.4
Moderator Note; subject edited

I am on my third s4 in three weeks because of overheating. The first fried itself into oblivion. The second overheated, and would shut down. The current one is 48 hours old, overheated 5+ times on my way home from work after having it for 24 hours...and fried the sim card reader.
I had a loaner S3...24 hours after having it: boot loop.
The entire S3/S4/S5 line is defective. Verizon is insane for letting their reputation turn to sh!t because they are ignoring it, and insist on replacing like for like (S4 for S4), and enraging their customers. I have BEGGED every day for TWO WEEKS for a replacement that is NOT another S4.

Lenovo B560 Battery problem! Need help asap

Hi, I have a big problem with my Lenovo B560.
Recently I started noticing the charging icon in the bottom right corner of the screen would go briefly from "charging" to the icon for "not plugged" (just the battery). If I moved the power cord a bit it would go back to normal.
Days later it happened again but this time a little more persistent. I didn't give it much attention. And then suddenly, last weekend it stopped charging altogether, despite being plugged. I tried different power sources, I tried moving the cable around, nothing. With the little time I had left before it completely discharged, I googled the problem and saw somebody in a thread saying "it's likely tha battery, it needs replacement", which made sense to me, since my laptop is 3-years old.
I ordered a replacement battery and waited. Today it arrived and I put it in, eager to use my computer and have everything going back to normal. I turned on the computer, battery was at 50% but it still did not charge. It showed the battery icon like before, as if it weren't plugged in. I moved the cable around again and noticed it would briefly flash back to being plugged. And then it stabilized on "plugged in, not charging" but it was suddenly at 3%. However, at least it didn't go down this time.
I tried reinstalling the Power Management Driver, restarted, everything was the same. Then I went to Device Management, I disabled the Driver and the icon dissapeared. Restarted, reinstalled driver once more, icon was still gone.
Then I noticed in another thread somebody recommended taking out the battery and turning on the computer with just the power cord plugged in. So I took out the new battery and turned it on with just the power cord. And it worked, and that brings us to the present moment. Both batteries sit next to me and my computer is currently working simply on the power that is supplied by the power cord.
Can anyone please tell me how to get out of this mess? My job relies greatly on this computer working, and I need to fix it asap. Any kind of advice is welcome. Thank you!

Update: the computer will not turn on anymore, not even with just the AC cord and no battery. Please help.

Lenovo B560 WWAN?

I have a Lenovo B560, it has the slot for the WWAN card inside and I got a GOBI 1000 WWAN card but when I install it the laptop dispaly a message saying that this card was not valid for the laptop and I need to remove it. That is what I did and I would like to know which WWAN card is compatible with Lenovo B560. In the hardware maintenance manual there is Qualcomm Gobi WWAN card but I do not understand why did not accept it. Could you please let me know which card should I buy?
Warm regards,
Pawkar

BIOS Update für LENOVO B560 Modell 4330

Hallo!
Ich suche verzweifelt nach ein aktuelles BIOS Update für LENOVO B560 Modell 4330. Auf mein Lenovo, ist die Bios version 39CN16WW, 29.07.2010 installiert. Im Netz findet man reichlich Infos und Diskusionen, von dem Bios 39CN21WW. Dass besagte Bios habe auch schon als ROM Format heruntergeladen, aber wie macht man bem Lenovo dass Bios Update??????
Da sich mein Bios sämtliche einstellungen nicht merkt (natürlich klicke ich davor auf SAVE&CHANGES), kann ich nur davon ausgehen, dass ein Bios Update den fehler beheben kann. Bios Batterie wurde auserdem auch schon dreimal getauscht.
Es muss doch ein Programm geben, mit dem man dass Update der aktuelle Bios Version machen kann.
Wie schon erwähn, dass aktuelle BIOS 39CN21WW, habe ich bereits als ROM date vorliegen. Nur dass Progi und eine Anleitung dazu fehlt mir.
Zu meinem System:
Intel Pentium P6100 CPU.
Betriebssystem - WIN 8.1 Pro.
Derzeitiges BIOS - 39CN16WW.
Bitte um dringende Hilfe!!!!!!!
LG
Marc

Hallo Hunter007.
Bitte entschuldige die späte Rückantwort.

Woher hast du das BIOS bezogen? In unserem Downloadbereich steht für das B560 offiziell kein BIOS zum Download zur Verfügung.

Wenn sich das BIOS die Einstellungen bisher immer merken konnte und der von dir erwähnte Effekt erst seit kurzem auftritt, liegt es nicht an der BIOS-Version, denn vorher hat es mit der gleichen BIOS-Version auch funktioniert.
Bitte lade im BIOS einmal die Standardwerte. Sollte dies den Fehler nicht beheben, wende dich bitte einmal an den Support.
Eine leere Batterie kann ich als Ursache ausschließen, wenn du diese bereits dreimal getauscht hast.
