Lenovo G450 Standby/Hibernation Problem

Hi, I've been having the same problem as http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Value-line/G460-standby-hibernation-problem/td-p/216132 , my Lenovo G450 came with a blank screen when I tried to turn it on from hibernation today. I've tried removing the battery, running it on power only, or both, but none of them seem to get it out of the blank screen state. It does come back out of the state after a whole week of being switched off, but being a busy student overseas, I find this to be quite the hindrance to my studies and recreations.
I sent it to the Lenovo service centre in Singapore in April, but they returned it to me saying it doesn't have any problems.
I also have the heat problem stated in http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Value-line/G450-gets-too-hot-shuts-down/td-p/200020 despite the fact that I actually have a STAND AIR CONDITIONER pointed at the exhaust.
Would appreciate a fast reply. Thanks.
Also, please don't suggest that I install the BIOS update, since I can't even get the system to start. Indicator lights come up, touch volume control works, DVD drive bay opens, but nothing else.

Some other things to try:
Make sure you post and add your input to the two threads you linked to.
A couple hardware things, these should not affect warranty, as you are allowed
to change memory and hard drive. I don't know how much of this you know already:
Do the "discharge procedure" again first.
Reseat memory modules. (Unplug, remove battery, touch a grounded metal object,
remove memory chips, and replace one at a time. Try it with just one first to eliminate
memory failure. Then the other by itself, then both.)
Remove hard drive and see if you can boot to bios (F2 key on boot
Hard drive is under a plate on bottom, just carefully slide it back with the tab,
and remove, holding it by the sides.
If these do not help, I guess it must be returned to service again?
I am surprised they found no problem!

Lenovo G450 - Want to connect VGA to Plasma TV with HDMI inputs

Hello Community
I was hoping to get some verification on this from someone that owns a Lenovo G450 Model 2949. I want to understand if I can connect this notebook to my older plasma TV through the VGA output connector. My TV supports S-video, HDMI and Component. Can I purchase any one of those types of VGA to S-video/HDMI/Component connectors and it will work? Will there be any loss of quality when you push the laptop video signal onto the television?
Here's one off amazon for a VGA to HDMI converter:

Thanks in advance.

Hi
Welcome to the forums
The quality of the display would remain like a normal vga connection as your laptop does not support hdmi/no hdmi port. So it is better hooking up via a vga cable.

Speakers Not Work When Diplay is in Upright Position - Lenovo G450

I have a Lenovo G450. Recently the built-in speakers will not work when the display monitor is in open position. The speakers will work when display monitor is half closed. How can I fix this problem?
Thank you for any help you can offer to me in solving this problem. ..

The speaker is installed at the bottom of the notebook please make me correct if it is on Display Panel.
Make sure you have the updated Audio driver and BIOS.
Please refer to the web link http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_list.aspx?CategoryID=370748
You may also connect the external speaker and check if the same issue appears.
Best Regards,
Tanuj

Lenovo G450 keeps CRASHING

HI,
I just recently bought a Lenovo G450 with the ff. specs:
Intel P8700 2.53 GHz
3 GB RAM (originally 2GB but was upgraded to 3GB as part of a promo)
320 GB HDD
The unit keeps crashing whenever I am on the internet or playing games (mouse and everything has NO RESPONSE, sound repeats like a broken recorder) and I end up manually shutting down the unit (hold down the power button for a few seconds). This happens in less than 1 hour of use...
I checked the lenovo website and cross checked it with my device manager, all drivers seems to be updated.... I also ran a THOROUGH HDD error check but to no avail...
Am I the only one experiencing this? Is there a software solution for this problem (driver updates maybe?)??
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Nope, its still crashing.. but now it happens in about 5mins of use! I can't use the thing now... I plan to bring it to the service center now since my time gets eaten up every time I troubleshoot.
I'm really frustrated with this since this is my first lenovo laptop.. I thought I would be buying an excellent unit (considering the specs vs price)..turns out to be the opposite..
Here's a recap of the problems I experienced (please confirm if we have the same problem):
Everytime it crashes/freeze (no mouse, keyboard response, sound repeats like broken recorder), I do manual shutdown. Wait 20secs, then restart it (choose the Normal Start-up). Sometimes McAfee and NVIDIA shows errors (deactivated), sometimes it doesn't. McAfee automatically restarts during its regular update.
After 5mins-1hr, the thing crashes/freezes up again. The next restart I do, it automatically goes to Error check, then asks me if want to do a system restore. I accept, then still the SAME thing! It crashes/freezes again!
BTW, here are the list of the things I did to troubleshoot but didn't help:
1) Updated all drivers
2) Updated NVIDIA Graphics (G210M) driver (the most updated is found in the NVIDIA website).
3) Uninstalled the McAfee Anti-Virus. McAfee gets deactivated after a crash. So I thought it was the problem..wrong move on my part... the crash interval decreased significantly (1hr to about 5mins) after I uninstalled it. I replaced it with a free AVG Anti-virus just to kill the WARNING about missing anti-virus protection.
4) Thorough HDD Scan - all OK.
5) Ran the laptop in SAFE MODE. It doesn't crash anymore after 10mins of use! But I didn't test long enough (since you can't really do anything on SAFE MODE) so I'm not quite sure.
6) Next I'll try to deactivate all services in MSCONFIG and start them up 1 by 1 to isolate the corrupt/faulty service.
I'll keep you posted on any development.

Lenovo G450 get´s slow

Hi, i buy a Lenovo G450 like 10 months ago, and all was alright, it was fast, and completely a super laptop, but one day, like three months ago, i have an error on a windows file, and the operative system crash, so i reinstall and function okay , but at the week, it passed another time, so i decide to erase windows and install linux, everything was okay but i go to vacations for 1 month and when i come back i was so slow!! it takes like 10 minutes to turn on, and you can not do anything cause it will super slow donw -_- so i reinstall windows another time, but nothing, it gets slow and slow, and i dont know what to do, i dont have the recovery files or a backup disc, then a friend thats a expert on that things said me that it can be a problem on the hard drive and i need to send it to the factory to repair it, but i know there should be another solution,
Hope you can help me.

Update: Sometimes it saves at normal speed aswell, only spending a few seconds.
So I decided to look closer at the system monitor, and it seemes like premiere is using 8,1 GB memory (In preferences max available is set to 9 GB). Is seemes to stagger at that approx 8 196 000 kb limit, indicating that memory usage might be the cause of operation slowing down?? (I'm not a computer expert, so please correct me:)
CPU usage doesn't seem to go beyond 50 % at any times.

Lenovo G450 Freezes randomly

System - Lenovo G450
intel C2D 2.2 GHZ
4GB RAM
320 GB HDD
I had it for about 6months now. For the past month or so it started freezing randomly when left open for more than an hour.initially it was once in 2-3 days but now it seems to be doing that more often. everything just freezes mouse, screen, keyboard even "Ctrl Alt Del" wouldnt work. i have to force the shutdown by long pressing the power button. it does that randomly some days it wouldnt freeze at all. searching through forums found that it could be power management issue. i tried changing power management options and disabling "sleep" without success. I hope its not a hardware/motherboard issue. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

These are the common problem
a) Most of the freezes I have experienced are due to graphic card problem. This is IMHO a intel-lenovo, or Nvdia-lenovo driver problem.
b) A second common source of problem is overheating of the graphic card, especially during intense movie, gaming.
c) A rare but possible problem is the window networking (especially window xp) trying to find the domain, IP address, network cache or whatever. The issue was so random that I don't think there was a solution. You will experience this if you ever try to connect to a network and find a disk drive, it just 'freeze' till the correct IP and window network name is 'resolved'. Some googled solutions shows that you can set the search time to faster, eg 1 second instead of the default.....with some compromise of course.
My suggestion is
a) You can try process tamer, a freeware at http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/proctamer/ What this does is to reduce the process that is hogging the system and at least give you back some control from the 'freezing'. This works great for me when using XP. You can also see which process is the culprit
b) From Bios set the CPU Stepping to be 'balance' instead of maximum performance for AC or battery operation mode.
c) You can download an official window 7 that can be tested for 30 days before activation is required. Set a 30GB partition and install this into that partition. When bootup you can choose XP or window 7. This is for you to use window 7 to see if the freezing still occurs.

G450 sound and mike problem

Hi all,
I bought a Lenovo G450 from India (Bangalore). I came to UK (coventry) after 3 days and found some problem.
1. When I connect my headphones, sound still comes from the laptop speakers (sound comes in headphones as well)
2. Mike is not working.
3. The volume buttons present in the laptop doesn't work. I have to use the volume in the player every time. This is ok. But it has become highly problematic to start my laptop inside library since the windows starting sound comes very loud and I cant do anything about it.

Hi adobefree...,
right click on the express vi and select "open Frontpanel", you can now see the blockdiagram of the express vi. You can store it as a new vi and work with it. With the new vi, you have all controls from the dialog.

Lenovo G510 AMD R7 M265 Problem

Hello Lenovo Community i have a problem with my video card when i minimize some games this message appears and the game's screen becomes white how to fix this

hi tsonayoshi,
Just to verify, are you encountering this on all the games that you play or even on web browser games?
Things that you can try:
1. Run Windows Updates to get the latest patch and bug fixes for the OS.
2. Ensure the AC charger is plugged-in and the power settings set to High Performance while gaming.
3. If you're running WIn7, apply this display driver not responding fix.
Let me know how it goes.

Lenovo G450 battery stucks at 0% and it sshows plugged in,charging

three months back I bought a new battery for my lenovo G450 laptop.Initially it was working well and now it's not get charged Stucks @0%,,,,,plz suggest me a solution for this

hi paranthaman,
You mentioned that you purchased a new battery for the G450 system. To replace this battery, you will need to contact the person or the store that sold you this battery (eg. If you purchased it from Amazon.com, you will need to contact Amazon) as the battery can only be replaced from the place of purchase.

Lenovo B590 configuration or hardware problems (microphone and WAN miniport)?

Hi,
First message here. :-)
Ok, when I use the integrated microphone, I can barely hear myself. It has always worked like that and I don't know if there's a problem. I uninstalled and installed the drivers, I amplified +20 dB and the output is very low. When I'm trying out different things, if I try to configure speech recognition and read the sentence I can see how the bar oscillates like it recognizes some sound, but the result is too low and it tells me that it couldn't hear a thing.
Also, out of nothing I receive this message that tells me that my WAN miniport is disabled. The Lenovo Solution Center detects this problem but it doesn't fix it, and I can't enable The WAN miniport it in the device administrator, either.
Thank you for your help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi EXinthenet, welcome to the forums,
regarding the WAN Miniport, it seems that a recent Microsoft update (KB2836988) has caused this to happen on some systems, unfortunately uninstalling the update doesn't solve the problem.
You could do a system restore in Windows to a point before the update was installed and then whan you update hide / exclude the update by right clicking it before updating. More information and an alternative fix can be found in the following threads,
Win 8 Monthly Update - T430S WAN Miniport Problem
SOLVED! WAN Miniport #2 yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager
I would suggest starting another thread for the microphone issue, don't forget to state which operating system version, 32 bit / 64 bit, and sound driver versions you have installed.

Problem in dual boot xp & windows 7--Lenovo g450

I installed Windows 7 & xp and i set up dual boot menu also. The problem is Windows 7 works only with ACHI HDD configuration in BIOS and XP works only with IDE HDD configuration in BIOS. So eyery time i boot other os, i have to set HDD configuration in BIOS. Is there any solution to avoid the BIOS settings change?

Put the HDD to IDE. Install XP, Leave it IDE install Win7 and they both will dual boot. Thats what I used to triple boot.

Can I return my new laptop to lenovo because of its quality problem?

IBM is one of the best brand as I know, especially showing us not only high quality of products but the service.
But now one thing happened to me, if I don't have this case I can't believe. I found there is something with the laptop(T61 Model 7658CTO) the same day when I got the new laptop on June 3rd, 2008. Then I call 800, a lot of 800 calls,at last I were told that I should contact send it back first if I were to get another new one. Three days later I got the box sent by Lenovo, and I return it back in terms of what the paper shown.
Unfortunately the problems of the laptop still exist when I turn on my laptop after it repaired. What's wrong with my laptop, this is new one, I think IBM should provide high quality products.
I don't know how to describe the weird sound , it sounds like two or more micphone opened clost to each other. It is very harsh.
I want to get one new laptop from Lenovo because of the quality of product and customer service or can I return the laptop?
I would appreciate any advice you can give me.

Like Obama says... yes you can
I did it last week because I bought an iPhone 4 as a wedding gift but then I changed my mind and wanted an iPad, so the bride could use it together with the groom (while the phone is personal).
I returned the iPhone to the apple store and I paid the difference to buy the 32GB iPad, no problems
I didn't opened the case, but the guy at the apple store told me I could have returned the phone even if it was opened. It must be undamaged tough.
