Lenovo B590 missing wireless antenna

Hi!
Alright, so I have been investigating some problems with wireless functionality on these Laptops.
I have 3 B590's in my production environment and many users complain about the poor wireless performance.
After rummaging through some other threads on this forum, I found a few threads that matched the issues I was having and many pointed to a need to open the case and reseat (or in my case seat) the antenna pigtail onto the wifi card.
So I pop open my case, easily locate the wireless card and find that my antenna connection isn't even seated on the wireless card. *fail lenovo*. This is a laptop that was unboxed and fired up not even a month ago.
Anywho, the real problem/concern I have hear is that there is only one (1) antenna connection. In all my experiance with wireless hardware, their should always be two (2) connecters. I found a hardware maintenance manual for the B590
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/b590_hmm_en.pdf
that clearly shows on pages 50 and 77 two antenna connectors. I also found a few independent YouTube videos of people who brokedown B590 laptops fresh out of the box and in these videos I clearly saw two antenna connections (one white calbe, one black cable). On the laptop sitting in my lap, I only have the black connector.
So.....where is my second antenna connection?

Also, and I hope this doesn;t sound rude, but I am not looking for community advise unless its pointing me toward a statement made by Lenovo. I am hoping that someone with Lenovo will reply to this.
But if anyone has experianced the same issue, or has an idea where I can find this missing cable in the case somewhere feel free to chime in. But I am looking to get some offical word (previously stated or otherwise) from Lenovo on this one.

Installing another OS on Lenovo B590 (model name 6274)

Hi
We recently bought a Lenovo B590 with pre-installed Windows 8, which we absolutely hated of several reasons.
We haven't used the laptop since we bought it a month ago because of Windows8, so we decided to install Windows 7 or Windows XP as an alternative, as these are the installation discs we have from other laptops.
Now, we couldn't get it to boot from CD, but have figured ot how to avoid the UEFI boot by selecting legacy in the BIOS and choosing CD / DVD as primary boot option.
After that we wiped the computer completely with Dereks Boot and Nuke and figured we then could boot from CD.
Because we haven't used the laptop, there was no data we would miss, and therefore we haven't made a windows 8 recovery CD before wiping the computer.
We then figured with BIOS set to boot from CD and no OS on the laptop, it would be piece of cake to install one of our Windows systems.
However, when trying to boot from CD the booting seems to begin, but then immidiately states that there have been an error, or returns to boot menu, depending on the installation disc.
When using a Windows 7 installation disc it just returns to boot menu again, without seeming to start booting.
Then you can select CD again and again return to menu again, soforth...
When using a Windows XP installation disc, it seems to start booting and states that an error has been found and windows has been closed down to prevent damage. Technical data&colon; STOP:0X0000007B (0XF78D2524,0XC0000034,0X00000000, 0X00000000)
It should be mentioned that the Windows 7 installation disc is originally for a Medion PC and the XP installation disc for a Dell laptop, but we didn't think this was a problem.
So - what can we do now?
Is it even possible to install Windows 7 (preferably) or Windows XP on the Lenovo B590?
If not, how do we get windows 8 back again, so it will at least be functioning.

It's a weekend, forum traffic tends to be a little slow.

Problema para arrancar lenovo b590 (UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME)

Hola a tod@s,
de buenas a primeras, mi lenovo b590 no arranca, ayer funcionaba perfectamente, y hoy al intentar iniciar me ha salido un error de un "servicio" que apenas me ha dado tiempo a leer cuando se a reiniciado el portatil. Tras esto al intentar arrancar el sistema operativo el lenovo se quedaba colgado apareciendome la pantalla azul de la muerte con el siguiente mensaje: "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" (windows 8.1)
Tras esto el PC se ha quedado pegado (ya van 6horas) en la pantalla de "Intentando realizar reparaciones".
He buscado información sobre el tema pero no veo nada que se asemeje a mi caso, ya que la verdad, ni siquiere se porque aparece este error de la nada, tengo miedo de perder datos importantes ya que la ultima copia de seguridad la hice hace 1mes. Destacar que estoy de exámenes y necesito el ordenador para realizarlos.
¿Algun usuario de este foro me podría aconsejar sobre este problema o que debería de hacer?
Si conoceis algun hilo de este tema se agradecería que lo compartieseis.
Ante todo, gracias por vuestro tiempo
P.D : no tengo disco de inicio
¡Resuelto!
Ir a solución.

Claro puede conseguir la imagen de Windows 8.1.
Usar el recovery es una especie de formateo te deja el ordenador como si fuera la primera vez que lo enciendes, pero te dejaría con Windows 8 y eliminaría todo en C, a través del botón Novo, el proceso de recovery se debe realizar con mas del 50% de carga y conectado al cargador.
Punto anterior en Windows es el que tu has creado puedes volver a el desde el disco de rescate de Windows, desde Windows 8 en adelante también podrías regresar a Windows de fabrica.
Instalación limpia me refiero a una nueva instalación de cero en la que cargas un dispositivo extraible con la instalación de Windows.
Puede ser sobre lo de la descarga esta era un archivo que necesito algún parche?
Entiendo suele suceder el problemas relacionados a mal arranque con Windows.
Inicio seguro sigue disponible solo se debe usar un USB de rescate y realizar ciertos pasos, lo ideal seria utilizarlo no desde Windows si no como esta disponible antes y no como esta configurado a partir de WIndows 8, pero en tu caso no creo que sirviera de mucho.
Sobre la opción de BIOS me puedes comentar que has echo hasta ahora? si se podría entrar pero ver que sucede pero no se mas detalles.
Para cargar algún disco de Windows 8/8.1 presionar F12 o Fn+F12 y escoger tu lectora, para entrar a BIOS a través del botón Novo o F2,Fn+F2 al encender el ordenador.
Esta disponible lo de rescatar tu información con Linux no es complicado y proceder a realizar una nueva instalación.

Lenovo B590 discharge battery when off

Good morning, I've experienced very annoying problem with Lenovo B590 Laptop (20206 with HM70 chipset). Laptop discharges a battery (about 10% per 24h) when it's off (power off or hibernate).
I disabled:
- WAKE ON LAN settings in BIOS
- Wake on * in network adapter properties (LAN and WLAN).
- Allow this device to wake the computer (LAN, WLAN, Bluetooth)
Only option I found so far - eject battery for a second after power off. In such case, no discharge occurs.
I really appreciate, if you can help me with this issue.
Thank you!

Hi rinkar,
Thanks for posting and welcome to the Lenovo Community,
Can I ask you to Enter BIOS and Return the BIOS to the factory default settings by pressing F9 inside the BIOS and then F10 to save and exit,
And then please if you have Lenovo Energy management in your application list please uninstall Lenovo Energy management and restart the system and then reinstall it back from the below link:
Windows8:
Lenovo Power Management
Windows7:
Lenovo Power Management
Hope the information helps. Let us know.
Regards
Soha

How to buy iPhone 4S Wireless antenna in india

I got my ipone4S from USA about a year back. 2 days back just found my wifi button got greyed and it not working since then even after restroring my said phone.
I had spoken with Apple customer care in India & also visited to authorised service centers. After evaluating my phone, they all are saying that its not a software problem & its a hardware problem. Above that my phone is also heating up like anything. I am afraid it may not burst anyday and brings our lives in to danger.
Can i replace my iPhone 4S Wireless antenna in India and get my phone again in working condition & how to resolve this heating problem.
Pls suggest.

The iPhone is not user servicable. There are no legitimate sources for iPhone parts. All iPhone parts you will be able to find are either counterfeit, stolen, or salvaged from other iPhones. Your phone can not be serviced at any authorized servicer outside of the US. Either take it back to the US or send it to someone you know there to take it in to Apple and have it replaced.

MacBook, USB wireless antenna, and tethered iPhone 4: Can the iPhone use the antenna?

I have a late 2008 MacBook, a USB wireless antenna (Etekcity High Power 802.11 B/N/G 300M USB Wireless 1000mw Wifi Network Adapter with Dual Antenna), and a USB-tethered iPhone 4. My cell signal is often very poor, and when it is, trying to use the Internet on my iPhone is an exercise in futility.
Can the iPhone use the wireless antenna as an external antenna by, in effect, using the MB as a pass-through device or signal booster? I'd have the iPhone at one end of the chain, connected to the MB via USB, the MB in the middle, and the external antenna on the other end, also via USB.
Is there an app for that? Or are we talking about sending/receiving completely different signals?

Max, I just got the etekcity usb antenna thing and I can't find the mac adapter. Can you tell me which driver you're using? (the cd that comes with it doesn't seem to work).
Thanks!

ATV and Third Party Wireless Antennas

Apple is not very clear on this, so i have to post here. Is aTV only working with Airport Extreme or are other wireless antennas 802.11 compatible good as well?
thanks

It will work with other wireless routers, you don't specifically need an Airport Extreme. I'm using my Apple TV with a Buffalo 802.11g wireless router and it works just fine with it (as do the Macs in the house).

Boot lenovo B590 in uefi

Hello, I just bought a B590 lenovo laptop and I want to do a clean install. I want tu install windows 8.1 from a usb stick in UEFI mode. I have another laptop and there it boots fine in uefi mode. But I can't figure out how to set it for this B590. I can only boot in legacy mode from the usb stick, using these settings: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Essential/Lenovo-B590-wont-boot-from-usb-key/td-p/123187...
I hope somebody can help me.
Thanks in advance

hi bosiwow,
Welcome to the Forums.
If your BIOS is the same as the one below, can you set the following options (if applicable):
Credits goes to this website for the image.
Startup Tab:
UEFI/Legacy Boot = UEFI Only
- UEFi/Legacy Boot Priority = UEFI First
- CSM Support = Disabled
Security Tab:
Secure Boot = Disabled
Exit or Restart Tab:
OS Optimized Defaults = Other OS / Disabled
When done, press F10 to save and exit. Once the lenovo screen pops up, press F12 for the boot menu and see if the USB flashdrive is selectable.
Let me know how it goes.

Lenovo b590 power management not working

Hello! I have a problem with my laptop, a lenovo b590. (pentium 2020m, 4gb ram, intel hd graphics): the Lenovo Power Management driver not working....
Is exactly the same as here, but, the only difference is that I use windows 8.1:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Essential/Lenovo-B590-Lenovo-Power-Management-driver-no...
As no one could solve the problem there, I thought it may be more visible now and someone can help me
So, how can I solve this problem?
Edit: I tried everything that was said there, to no avail ...
Sorry for my english..

i'm not sure if there's any suitable cooling pads for your computer but cleaning the fan could be another solution. it may work but it may also void your warranty.
due to it's probably hardware issue, at this point i don't think i have much suggestions for you.

TS1398 Hi I run the 6.0.2 patch and I stiil have the same problem, no wifi connection even if i change the wireless antenna and the security any ideas??

Hi I run the 6.0.2 patch and I stiil have the same problem, no wifi connection even if i change the wireless antenna and the security any ideas??

There are two steps to the update for an iPhone 5. First you run the patch then you update the iOS. Did you do both? And does iOS 6.0.2 show up in Settings > General > About > Version
The first thing apple will tell you to do if you bring them the phone is to reset the phone. Try that before going any further.
First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Mauszeiger aus Lenovo Ultraslim plus wireless Set bewegt sich nur noch sporadisch

Hallo!
Ich hatte mir am 6. April 2013 das Lenovo Ultraslim plus wireless Tastatur und Maus-Set gekauft. Seit heute reagiert der Mauszeiger auf Bewegungen der Maus nur noch sporadisch, d.h. mal bleibt er wo er ist, mal kann man ihn bewegen. Das Klicken der Tasten funktioniert wie gehabt, auch die Tastatur arbeitet wie sie soll. Die Batterien habe ich mehrmals durch frische, passende augetauscht; den Dongle entfernt und in eine andere USB-Schnittstelle gesteckt; die Treiber de- und wieder installiert, allerdings immer mit demselben Ergebnis. Nehme ich die Maus in angeschaltetem Zustand hoch, konnte man früher den Infrarotsensor rot leuchten sehen - dies ist nicht mehr der Fall. Ich gehe davon aus, dass das Problem wohl dort liegen wird. Gibt es bereits ähnliche Erfahrungen? Muss ich mir eine neue Maus zulegen (damit verbunden: wie kann ich dann meine immer noch funktionierende Tastatur mit ihr kombinieren, ohne einen zweiten Dongle zu benötigen?), bzw. habe ich noch Garantie auf das Produkt?
Für Ratschläge und Hilfe bin ich sehr dankbar!
Viele Grüße!
Gelöst!
Gehe zu Lösung.

Hallo peter_griffin,
wenn der Sensor frei von Verunreinigungen ist und auch die Unterlage ensprechend geeignet ist (nicht spiegelnd) kann vielleicht noch ein Frequenzabgleich zwischen Funkempfänger und Maus helfen:
- Den USB-Dongle in einen freien USB-Anschluß einstecken.
- Die Maus einschalten indem die linke, mittlere und rechte Taste gedrückt werden. Die LED wird nun langsam blinken (2x pro Sekunde).
- Die Maus in die Reichweite des Dongles bewegen (innerhalb 30cm), dafür sind 30 Sekunden Zeit.
- Wenn die LED 10x schnell blinkt (5x pro Sekunde) dann war die Synchronisierung erfolgreich.
Hat das nicht geholfen und neue Batterien sind eingesetzt, ist die Maus vermutlich defekt. Wende dich bitte zur Klärung der Garantie an deinen Verkäufer.
Eine andere Maus kann mit dem Dongle nicht gekoppelt werden bzw. kann die Tastatur nicht mit dem Dongle eines anderen Sets gekoppelt werden. Du müsstest also Tastatur, Maus und Dongle immer komplett tauschen.
Gruß
Sebastian

Lenovo B590 big problem, HELP!!!

Hello,
I have big problem with my Lenovo B590 20206 laptop. [windows 7 pro 64 bit installed]
After turn my laptop to standby mode (manualy or after 1 hour without use laptop) and when I want to wake up laptop all what I see is black screen and I must hold push power button for 5 second to force off.
BTW when laptop is in standby mode everything looks good, led is blinking and after pushing any button I hear that fan and hard disk is starting but all what i got is black screen, even CTRL + ALT + DEL doesnt work.
I've tried replace RAM, reinstalled alot of drivers but without success. Windows 7 of course works perfect, only sleep mode (standby] doesnt work.
Another problem is that i cant update bios, my current is 1.10 which is not recent imho (maybe bios update would help with problem above?). Ive downloaded BIOS Update Utility for Windows 7 from lenovo site but when i tried to update i ve got a warning like this:
so i tried to update from Windows 7 and BIOS Update Utility for CD ISO image and i got error "THE SYSTEM PROGRAM FILE IS DAMAGED. THE PROCESS HAS BEEN CANCELED."
My last question is about disk replacement in that lenovo b590, original 500gb disk is 7mm high, can I replace it with 9,5mm disk?
Any help would be appreciated, sorry for my english btw.
