Hello.
I have Lenovo B570 laptop for two years. I last two months appears error when starting.When I press start button nothing is happening.Start button lights and fan works very hard.After 10 days I started again and was working normally but trought 5 days again same error occurs during the startup. Does anyone has a solution or can teach me what to do about this ? Someone told me that motherboad is dead, someone that problem is with intel graphic ...I dont know, I am sad :/

Welcome to the Lenovo Community !
From what you have described it sounds like your laptop has a hardware problem. Try doing what I call a soft reset of the BIOS. This can be useful in some situations to resolve hardware conflicts Here's how......
1. Unplug the charger / adapter
2. Remove the battery.
3. Press and hold the Power Button for 15 seconds.
4. Re-install the battery, plug in the charger / adapter if needed and power up the system to see if the problem was resolved.
If that didn't resolve the problem then I would suggest removing all the hardware from the computer. Take out the DVD drive, hard drive, wireless card and one of the memory modules if you have two installed. Try booting up the laptop and see if it run without errors. If not, try the memory module in the other slot. If the problem still persists try the other memory module in each slot. If the problem still persists then suspect the motherboard is at fault. If the laptop boots up then start adding hardware one piece at a time and try booting up the system. If the laptop continues to boot up add another piece of hardware and boot up. Do this until you find that the last piece of hardware installed will not boot the computer. That would then be the faulty piece of hardware that is causing the problem.
The link below is for your model's Hardware Maintenance Manual. It will explain how to remove the various hardware items. When working inside your system please follow all precautions and recommendations that are noted in the manual.

How to register Lenovo B570 for warranty in the UK?

Having bought a new B570 just before this new year (28th Dec 2011), I am still finding it impossible to register this laptop.
After reading a message from someone that they had a crack appear on their B570's screen, I am very concerned - that I am yet unable to register my laptop properly.
Apparantly there is a base warranty which starts from the manufacturing date for one year but we all are supposed to register and get this changed to last till one year from the date of our actual purchase. But when I try to register on-line I get transfereed between various lenovo sites and finally the registration fails.
Apparently my Lenovo B570 is called as Ideapad in the Singapore region and I get directed to that website - but I am in the UK and in the on-line registration form, I don't see any European nor USA - on the UK specific site there is no form where I can register for this 'my own warranty' rather than the 'base warranty' - in my case it turns out my laptop was manufactured a few months ago and the base warranty would not last for one full year after my purchase - this is not fair.
I have been sending emails and so on - but not getting any positive response at all.
How do I register for proper warranty please?

hey vlbaindoor,
i'm guessing that you bought the B570, from Singapore?
Do note that in the International Warranty Page >> http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-service/iws.page?
The B570 , did not list UK and therefore not eligible for International Warranty.

B570 - Booting in Legacy-BIOS-Mode (without UEFI)??

hi folks,
do you know how to boot a dvd in legacy-mode (without UEFI)?
my lenovo B570 UEFI has very little options, so i assume the other options (e.g. booting in legacy mode) are hidden somewhere.
i also found a guide from lenovo for the thinkpad series, but the option (see step 3) clearly is missing with my notebook.
any ideas??
thank you very much in advance..

Hi,
i got my new T420 in may this year. As I am a student i get the new Windows 8 out of Dreamspark one month ago. Before I installed Windows 8 x64 I made all bios and firmware updates i can get.
After the successfull installation I got some startup hangs, not regular, but most of the boots. A few days ago a new bios was available, so I hope this one will get me rid of the problem. But the same thing happens, well I think it is the powermanagement, because the hang always happens at this point, when the display is going to dim. If I have the power plugged in, I don't get this problem.
Hope this will be fixed in later versions of bios / powermanagement.
Best Regards

U530 boot failed

I have a Lenovo U530 laptop that intermittently encounters a 'boot failed' error.
This has happened 6 times in a 4 month period. Each time it has occurred I have clicked
through the following 5 screens until it requested a system restart:
1. EFI Network 0 for IPv4 (08-9E-01-F5-44-D4) boot failed. [Ok]
2. EFI Network 0 for IPv6 (08-9E-01-F5-44-D4) boot failed. [Ok]
3. Default Boot Device Missing or Boot Failed.
     Insert Recovery Media and HIT any key
     Then Select 'Boot Manager' to choose a new Boot          [Ok]
     Device or to Boot Recovery Media
4. Boot Manager
     Boot Option Menu
     EFI Network 0 for IPv4 (08-9E-01-F5-44-D4) boot failed. (this line is selected)
     EFI Network 0 for IPv6 (08-9E-01-F5-44-D4) boot failed. [Ok]
     ^ and v to change option, ENTER to select an option
5. EFI Network 0 for IPv4 (08-9E-01-F5-44-D4) boot failed. [Ok]
Screen 6: No bootable device -- Please restart system
At this point I power off, then on via the power switch and it boots normally.
I am aware of the suggestions to boot from a recovery drive but that is not my problem.
I am able to successfully boot by powering off/on.
I would like to figure out what is causing this. Any suggestions on what steps to take
to diagnose this the next time it occurs?
Lenovo phone support has been of no help.
TIA
Luke

If you are not connecting to a lan at boot up try to disable "PXE boot to Lan" in the bios. Else temporarily disable it. Once booted try running in command prompt with admin rights "sfc /scannow". Do not include the quotation mark. You might also try running chkdsk to check the hdd for defects.

Lenovo Y510P Boot Failure Error

I have a Y510P which is less than six months old and I have been fighting a losing battle with it over the last couple of months.
Whilst I am very pleased with its construction and performance, when in use it has started crashing, ever more frequently leaving a blue screen with the error message;
efi network 0 for ipv (28-d2-44-5d-4c-29) boot failed
If turned off and on again, it will reboot and work but anything between an hour an 24hours, it will crash again.
I have read and tried a couple of the suggested fixes on this forum such as making sure that the HDD is seated correctly and ,making sure that the BIOS is reading the HDD (which is is at the point of booting up but obviously it drops it at some point).
Is there anything else I should be trying before I assume a HDD fault and contact customer services?
Thanks in advance for your help!

hi paullacey,
Welcome to the Forums.
From youro observation, it's possible that there's a problem with the HDD or its connection to the SATA port on the motherboard.
Things that you can try:
1. When you get the efi network 0 for ipv (28-d2-44-5d-4c-29) error, try to boot right away in the BIOS and check if the HDD is detected.
2. Check the lenovo Individual Diagnostic Tools and run a Storage and Motherboard test and post the results here.
- Sample image
If you get errors on one of the tests above, I recommend you contact lenovo and report your findings as you may need to send the unit for service.

[SOLVED] Arch won't start, uefi lenovo B570

Hi, i am trying to install arch on my lenovo B570 laptop. I downloaded the latest iso from the site and used usb universal installer to create usb install media. In the boot options of my laptop i pick the usb as the first boot device and run it. I can see the efi menu and i pick arch_x86_64, but it seems to me that gummiboot is not firing. After this i only see black screen, and the usb stops blinking. After a while (3-4 min) the lap-top restarts. In the options of my bios i can't find anything like secure boot option, i have read on the forum similar issues and someone said that this should be disabled, but i don't see any option like so. My bios is very primitive, there is only boot order to set and nothing else.
Thanks!

I prepared the usb inside Lubuntu, i used gpadted to create new msdos partition table (mbr) and removed any partitions.
I created new partition FAT32 with label "ARCH_201212" and formated the drive. I created two folders inside /mnt, one "iso" and one "usb". I mounted the usb and iso like this:
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb
mount /home/stefo/Downloads/archlinux-2012.12.01-dual.iso /mnt/iso
Then copied everything from the iso to the usb:
cp -r /mnt/iso /mnt/usb
Unmounted and synced:
umount /mnt/{usb,iso}
sync
EDIT: I also tried with fdisk...
When i try to create new partition table with fdisk on my usb i get this:
Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x601ad71e.
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable.
Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)
EDIT: When i create new partition table and new FAT32 partition with fdisk, and then try to mount like this:
mount /dev/sdb1 -t vfat /mnt/usb
I get this, and the usb is not mounted:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
dmesg | tail
[ 1678.604687] FAT-fs (sdb1): bogus number of reserved sectors
[ 1678.604696] FAT-fs (sdb1): Can't find a valid FAT filesystem
EDIT: My mistake sorry, i didn't used mkfs.vfat -F32 to format the partition, i forgot to do that
EDIT: When i try this, i get Permission denied:
sudo awk 'BEGIN {FS="="} /archisolabel/ {print $3}' /mnt/iso/loader/entries/archiso-x86_64.conf | xargs mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1 -n
EDIT: I don't know why the previous command didn't worked but this one worked:
sudo mkfs.vfat -F32 -n `awk 'BEGIN {FS="="} /archisolabel/ {print $3}' /mnt/iso/loader/entries/archiso-x86_64.conf` /dev/sdb1
Just to check i open gparted and i can see my usb /dev/sdb, one partition sdb1 FAT32 label: ARCH_201212. I copied the content from the iso to the usb, unmounted both the iso and usb folders and sycned, and again i get black screen..

Video allocation on Lenovo B570

Hi everyone... Yesterday I bought a Lenovo B570 and I don't know how I can allocate video memory. I searched for tutorials but I didn't find anything.
I looked into BIOS and the available options are: Information, Configuration, Security, Boot and Exit.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi
Welcome To Lenovo Community
The amount of video memory your computer has is dependent on the amount of pre-allocated memory set for your system plus the Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT). DVMT dynamically allocates system memory for use as video memory creating the most efficient use of available resources for maximum 2D/3D graphics performance.
DVMT allocates memory based on system needs. Many graphic-intensive applications (especially games), require a minimum amount of video memory in order to run correctly (or even to run). Video memory is allocated based on the amount requested by the operating system. When the memory is no longer required, it is returned to the operating system for use by other applications or system functions.
Also you may want to go into the Intel display tray, under 3D settings select the memory footprint on highest this should allow you to maximize your shared video ram usage.

Lenovo B570 won't Power on at first

Hi all,
I purchased a new Lenovo B570 a couple of months ago and have been having major issues with powering the laptop on since I have had it. when I first got it out of the box it started fine no problems and ran windows update and installed a few programs (nothing too major other than MS Office, yahoo messenger, skype, etc).
I noticed after about a week that it had an issue when trying to start from a shutdown. When I pressed the power button, the power light would turn on, HD light would indicate activity, however nothing would appear on the screen. I forced shutdown and tried to restart and the same happens. After a few more tries, eventually the screen will light up and suggest running start up repair. this starts then I get various blue screen messages sometimes just once, sometimes 2-3 times on separate instances and eventually I can start the machine up and when it is on and running it's great and there are no issues at all.
I researched both on this forum and via google about potential issues and have tried one-key recovery back to original spec and also updating the BIOS and removing the fingerprint software, none of which resolved the issue (see threads below for examples of potential solutions that I have tried). In the last couple of days I tried a new experiment where I turn on the power after a shutdown, and as described above just get a blank screen, however rather than force shutdown straight away, I allow it to remain in this state for about an hour, then perform force shutdown. Straight away I press power on again and immediately the laptop starts, no BSOD, no start-up repair just straight into starting windows as you would expect and the laptop works as hoped for.
This indicates to me it could be a power issue with booting up at the start, but I'm afraid I'm not very technically minded in these things so would appreciate any help or feedback from someone who might be able to suggest a solution that I haven't tried yet as although I can get the laptop to work now, it is an issue having to wait for the power to 'charge up' before I can use the laptop.

Lenovo B570 Fingerprint scanner not responding/is gone and other issues

Hi,
I've been having some issues lately with my laptop. It comes with a fingerprint scanner, but as of yesterday is stopped working. Normally I can login by swiping my finger, but now it doesn't even show up. It usually has 3 users slots on the login screen. Mine, my sisters, and another slot for the fingerprint scanner. Now that third one doesn't even show up. My fingerprint scanner isn't reading anything at all, nor is it even showing up in many places. I have no idea what could have caused this. Any help?
I'm running Windows 7 64bit on my Lenovo B570.
I'm not sure if it's related, but when I went to check my drivers to see if it was a driver issue, I found that a bunch of hardware was not working due to driver issues. They wouldn't let me update, giving me a Code 31 error, saying that the file could not be found. The ones that aren't working are listed below.
Microsoft 6to4 Adapter
Microsoft ISATAP Adapter
Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface
WAN Miniport (IKEv2)
WAN Miniport (IP)
WAN Miniport (IPv6)
WAN Miniport (L2TP)
WAN Miniport (Network Monitor)
WAN Miniport (PPPOE)
WAN Miniport (PPTP)
WAN Miniport (SSTP)
If anyone could help me fix this, I would be eternally grateful.

Hyper-V 2012 R2 new VM with ISO in DVD boot failed - default SCSI not IDE

Hi, have created some VMs fine on 2008R2 and 2012 Hyper-V but now onto 2012 R2, am using the Gen 2 VM and hitting install error when booting them from the 2012R2 RTM .ISO (downloaded straight from Technet) loaded into virtual DVD:
I see from http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/53f901e4-5bd0-4e13-80a2-bca2f57b15e9/hyperv-unable-to-boot-from-cd-or-iso-in-vm-machine?forum=winserverhyperv that Hyper-V seems unable to boot from a synthetic SCSI until guest OS actually
installed - so Catch-22! But I can't add an IDE Controller because it's not on the list:
I tried the Integration Services and it seems fine on the Settings (including ticking the only one unticked - Guest Services) although if you need to run them from the DVD, it has the same problem - you can see them loaded (or the Win2012R2 ISO) in the DVD
Media but you can't make them run through booting on SCSI!
The physical drives are SATA not SCSI but presumably no matter as Hyper-V runs SCSI virtually, but why does Hyper-V default to SCSI and how do I get the DVD to run off an IDE instead if that is the way to install a base OS from .ISO? Or is there an easier
way than all this?
TIA, Phil.

I found this article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/jhoward/archive/2013/11/11/hyper-v-generation-2-virtual-machines-part-9.aspx
I hope this help.
"...yes, we’re acutely aware that the generation 2 EFI boot loader messages persist on the screen and it can be a little confusing. Essentially what the generation 2 virtual machine did was:
Attempt to boot from the CD SCSI device containing the Windows 8 ISO. This is where the ‘Press any key…’ message came from. As no key was pressed, we went to the next boot entry. (And this is where we didn’t clear the message from the EFI CD boot loader)
I didn’t press F12 (in fact, this VM wasn’t connected to a network), so network boot failed
The SCSI VHDX is raw with no partitioning or file system, so this too failed
So why did the generation 1 virtual machine start setup from the Windows media? The answer is simply that it’s the way Windows media is built, and it’s inconsistent between the PCAT and EFI loaders.
However, it’s relatively simple to solve if you want to avoid the press any key message. In fact, we almost have all the pieces from previous parts. In particular, part 4 where we injected keyboard drivers into the Windows 8 media.
If you loopback mount Windows 8 or 8.1 RTM media, and navigate to the \efi\microsoft\boot directory, you will see there are two versions of cdboot.efi
The default version, cdboot.efi prompts for a keypress. The unused version, cdboot_noprompt.efi doesn’t prompt.
So it’s fairly simple to create modified media which uses the noprompt version. First, copy the contents of the ISO to a working directory, rename cdboot.efi to cdboot_prompt.efi, and rename cdboot_noprompt.efi to cdboot.efi.
Do the same with efisys.bin and efisys_prompt.bin
Then re-use our oscdimg command (in an elevated deployment and imaging tools environment) from part 4 to recreate the media.

Boot Failed, Single User FSCK couldn't load, mounting Macintosh HD failed, repair and verify returns no errors, and i need to transfer my data before starting over - HELP!!!!

Lets break down the facts here: My machine is an Intel-Based iMac running Mavericks - 1TB Hitachi Hard Drive
1. Was running an initial baseline image with Time Machine when the computer froze - waited hours - nothing got better and no functions were possible (force quit, etc.)
2. Hard Reboot
3. Upon reboot, the iMac was unable to load the log-in screen. The image was a folder with a "?" on it.
4. Rebooted with option key held down and selected Macintosh HD - Boot Failed
5. Restarted and Rebooted with Command R held down
6. Ran Disk Verify and Disk Repair - returned errors round one.
7. Ran Disk Verify and Disk Repair - Returned no Errors
8. Restart - Boot failed - the "NO" symbol replaced the apple symbol
9. Reboot with Command R
10. Attempt to mount Macintosh HD
11. Mount Failed.
12. Shutdown
13. Connect Firwire to Host computer and Target Computer
14. Boot with Command T
15. TDM entered - Host Machine cannot read Target Hard Drive
16. Shutdown
17. Boot with Command S
18. Endless loop created - Multiple errors including:
     - failed to open create the journal retval 0
     - could not read 512 bytes for the journal header - Return 22
     - Errorno 19
     - hfs_mounterror return: 22
Short of springing for a software online, I have no idea what the next steps are to getting my data moved from the Macintosh HD to my external so I can just reformat and install the OS again. Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is is a serious headache and I cannot lose my data - Thats what I was backing it up for in the first place!!!!

You may not have the luxury of having another Mac but you must know someone who does. You need to boot your Mac into target disk mode. This is going to be your best bet as far as saving your files. Keep in mind that everytime you mess with this computer you are further endangering your data. Also, once your Mac is booted as a target disk, it may be possible to mount it on a windoze computer just to copy your files to another drive. I used to have one here and if i still did I would try this for you but I "offed" it in favor on running windoze (Parallels) on my MBP. But, one way or another, you need to get next to another computer.

Satellite A660 - Will not boot up and HDD boot fail

Hi,
firstly thanks for your time.
Model: Satellite A660 (PSAW3A-07U00R)
The problem started yesterday, the computer was going slow as an application closed, so I held the off button untill the pc turned off. When I restarded the laptop it went to a screen saying: Start windows normally or repair Windows (recomended)
When started normally it just hangs at a blank screen, the repair Windows recommends a system restore to earlier point which didnt work. As it just hangs again. I tried pressing F8 and starting in safe mode but again it just hangs. Then after a few times trying safe mode and another system restore the computer then hangs when I press F8. After this the computer goes past the Toshiba logo screen with F2 and F12 options (which both still work), and then it comes up boot failed then goes blank and comes with boot failed bootfailed with some numbers and letters, then it goes to a small box titled boot menu with 4 options.These are
HDD/SSD Toshiba MK6465GSX
CD/DVD MAT****ABD-CMB UJ141ES
FDD
LAN
If I press ESC it goes through the bootfailed loop and ends up at same screen, if I press enter on "HDD/SSD Toshiba MK6465GSX" then it quickly comes back to screen and at the bottom it says [HDD/SSD Toshiba MK6465GSX] is failed.
I dont understand why it got worse over time. Can anyone think of why this has happend and more importantly how can I get my pc working again? Note: holding 0 then starting does nothing for me atm
regards, Matthew

All you people looking here on this dead thread.....
Toshiba A660 laptops are renowned for having hard drive fails and boot up problems after grinding to a halt.
My solution (after losing 3 hard drives [and a terabyte of family treasured times]) is the following.
Use MALWAREBYTES (free download and use for 28 days)
Scan and fix. Mine found over 300 trojans that 2013 Norton 360 could not find.
Re-boot into safe mode.
SCAN again.
Re-boot and empty the malwarebytes repair files it retains...
Run Norton/McAfee (whichever you have) and you should still have no issues.
Make a back-up repair disc. Ooooops......no you cant...........at least my laptop can`t.
I don`t know why.....
Tell me tosh..... why does windows x64 refuse to allow me to make a system boot disc (even though the laptop is all driver updated and Windows updated)?
Uninstall MalwareBytes when Norton/McAfee tells you there will be a conflict between the two programs.
It tells you to re-boot after uninstalling it.
Then when it re-boots you get a black screen. You cannot even get to bios. You think ytour laptop is turned into a brick frisbee. You pull out the battery in frustration after five minutes.
You replace and re-boot....but again you get no bios or boot up.... you think its destroyed the Bios or graphics somehow....youo can hear the hard-drive but you have no clue whats going on..
Around this time you shake the laptop in frustration.....
Calm down.
Switch on and leave FIFTEEN MINUTES....Ten of which will be a Black nothing screen with maybe a single white underscore line in the top left corner.LEAVE IT ALONE.
Make a sunday dinner for ten people....When you go back to the computer it will be up and running.
When you re-boot again, it will be dead black for five minutes...then boots up... you still think it has a problem... LEAVE IT.
When you reboot again it should work perfect (assuming you have not been overheating it by using it on a cushion on your lap and overheating the insides [use a laptop fan tray]) if you have not shaken your hard drive or caused scrambled damage by pulling the power fifty times like some people do.
I have lost three hard drives and thousands of Gigabytes of treasured family memories discovering the secret the hard way.
Enjoy.
Buy a different brand next time.
ALL Windows system files should be on a SWITCHED (to update) version of Windows.

A new error just started showing up in my Vc logs: com.adobe.versioncue.boot - Failed to start com.adobe.versioncue.backup.schedule.
Since the report of this error, I am unable to create any kind of Version Cue backups. Has anyone else seen this error?
I had hoped that a simple reboot would alleviate the problem, but it didn't. The error occurs during Vc startup (boot). It's a little odd that Vc was mostly fine until I rescheduled my Windows Backup (ntbackup.exe) to run 90 minutes earlier, and failed to tell Diskeeper to also not auto-defrag 90 minutes earlier. (In other words, it's possible that Diskeeper did its thing the same time ntbackup was running.)
Running Windows XP SP3. I'm going to try a repair install of Vc in a few moments.

Update 2: ntbackup restore of System State to day before last successful Vc backup failed to correct the problem. I can't even run a manual backup.
Can anyone tell me how to determine the ClassPath used by Vc?
There is no stack trace from this error - the exception is caught and handled, so Vc continues to run after creating the single log entry posted in Msg-1 above. By knowing the ClassPath, I may be able to restore the corrupted Java JARs, if that is the root of this problem.
I'd really hate to have to (ntbackup) restore the whole computer back to last Monday...

Lenovo EE Boot Optimizer U410

Hi I was just wondering about a few things.
I recieved my U410 and I noticed that i couldnt find the Lenovo EE Boot Optimizer that came with my U400. Is there support for the U410 for the boot optimizer?
Also the U410 has two hard drives - a solid state drive and a hard drive. I noticed that windows was installed to the hard drive which means that the computer boots from the hard drive rather than the solid state. Is there a reason for this?

The U410 has a 32gb mSATA SSD. In the default configuration, it is used as a cache drive (and being SSD, this ofcourse is superfast cache.). This is being done with Intel Rapid Storage technology.
To further elaborate on a 32gb ssd; it effectively has about 29gb of useable space after a format. For a regular Windows 7 install, incl the Lenovo apps (+temporary files), this would barely be sufficient. This is why it is also not reccomended to install Windows on the small SSD. (also i believe fully used capacity means worse performance and more wear/tear for an SSD)
About the EE Boot Optimizer, you can find it in the Software & Utility part of the U410 driver page;
