Lenovo G510 - swap screen

I have got Lenovo G510 with 15,6"1366×768 and I would like to replace with screen with 1920x1080 resolution.
Is it possible? Do I have to change lcd cable or just swap screen?
I know that people with Thinkpads do it. Could I as well?

Hi Matsta19,
Welcome to Lenovo forums.
As per the query we understood that you are looking to upgrade the display to full HD display in your Lenovo G510 laptop.
As per the specification of this model it support up to 39.6cm (15.6) high-definition (1366 x 768) / 200 nit display, 16:9 widescreen. We are sorry to inform that full HD (1920x1080) is not supported in this model. Please contact the nearest service centre for further details.
Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.
Hope this helps. Do post back if issue persists!

Hi Anish1,
Welcome to the Forums
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with black screen in your Lenovo G510 laptop.
As you have mentioned that black screen when turned on, can you hear the windows login sound?
Remove the battery and connect only adapter and check for the issue also connect only battery and check for the issue.
Connect an external monitor and check if the display appears in the external monitor then its a issue with the LCD, if there is no display in the external monitor then it might be issue with the motherboard, hence suggest you to visit the nearest authorised service centre.

Lenovo g510 AMD drivers BLUE SCREEN

Hi there,
I recently bought a Lenovo g510 with AMD Radeon graphics card. When I try to install the driver for the graphics card, i got a blue screen. I then cannot even enter Windows in safe mode. Only thing I can do is startup repair which takes forever. Before trying to install the driver, I cannot see the AMD graphics card under the display adaptors in device manager. I run Windows 7 64 bit.
Please help.
Panos.

Hi,
After a lot of tries I have tried Windows 8.1. This time when I install the drivers the graphics card is shown in device manager but I cannot open Catalyst manager. I got the message:
"catalyst control center cannot be started there are currently no settings that can be configured"
This is what I tried:
1.Downloaded the drivers from lenovo website for chipset, Intel HD graphics and AMD graphics
2.Swhitched off the internet so that Windows doesnt download drivers for the Intel HD graphics
3.Uninstalled Intel and AMD drivers
4. Installed the Intel driver
5. Installed the AMD driver
This doesnt seem to work. Some time after I install the AMD driver, the screen goes black and even if I restart the PC. Only thing I can do is to open in safe mode and uninstall the AMD drivers. I dont know if it does matter but I havent activated the Windows yet (I dont want to by them unless I know that my laptop is fully functional).
This is what I get in hardware ids in device manager for the video controller.

Lenovo G510 Windows 8 Read Only Folders

Hello everyone,
I just bought a new Lenovo G510, and I installed the Windows 8 that was on the partition.
The installation went fine, and everything is in order.
The only problem is that ALL my folders are Set to READ ONLY. Is this something normal for Windows 8 and how can I set it to a different state, since I know that in future that will be a problem?

hi francis17583,
If the G510 system came preloaded with Windows 8, there are two ways on how you can restore the system to factory settings:
Option 1:
- Turn off the machine and press the OneKey Recovery Button
- On the Novo Menu, select System Recovery and follow the screen prompts.
- Link to picture
Option 2:
- Follow this guide on how to create a recovery drive
- Boot from the recovery drive and follow this guide on how to reset the PC.
I recommend Option 1 in case you don't have a flashdrive (8GB or above) but ensure that you have a backup of your important files as the above procedure will wipe the OS drive.

Lenovo G510 BSOD on Windows 7 after installing RST Driver

Hello,
I was hoping to figure this out without having to post but unfortunately I cannot seem to get around the problem. I purchased my laptop (Lenovo G510) last month and immediately upgraded to a SSD and then downgraded to Windows 7. There have been no problems until I was installing the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver (Link to Driver).
After installing the driver and rebooting I get the BSOD at the main Windows login screen in any of the boot modes (Regular, Safe, Safe with Network, and Safe with Command). The error dump shows that the issue is linked to itaStorF.sys. Normally I would not need this driver installed and I would just use the Windows generic driver but I have decided to replace the ODD with a HDD Caddy with the 1TB HDD that came with the laptop.
I have seen others say that they have used a HDD Caddy with no issues but I get the BSOD error with this driver even before I installed the Caddy. I can install a more up to date driver from Intel but they eject the HDD Caddy when it is detected and they are meant for Windows 8.
I can provide more information if needed as well as error logs. I would greatly appreciate the help from the community! Thanks!
Quick Computer Info:
OS: Windows 7 Professional
SSD: Crucial M550
HDD: Western Digital WD10JPCX
HDDCaddy: Link to Caddy page
Edit:
For some additional information, I have done each of the lenovo diagnostic tests, check disks, and memory tests which all came back as healthy.

The issue seem unrelated to the Instant Client. (Looks like you installed from the "full" Database Client product.)
Anyway, is that Windows 7 64-bit? Then, possibly, the software you installed was 32-bit and the driver shows up in the 32-bit MS ODBC admin tool (in wow64 subsystem, for 32-bit apps).

Lenovo G510, the Intel HD Graphics 4600 and Radeon 8750M, will not work!

Good evening,
I have a Lenovo G510, 59401564, i7 with Intel HD Graphics 4600 and Radeon 8750M graphics card.
I have problems with graphics cards to get it to work permanently!
The installation of the graphics card driver works fine but after about 30 minutes an hour, crashes the laptop and a bright blue screen is shown "VIDEO_DXGKRNL_FATAL_ERROR".
After a restart, the Graffikarten are disabled, a small window says that the driver must be reinstalled.
I have the Windows 8.1 64-bit, drivers from the Lenovo website uses. To reinstall, I used Catalyst_13.12_WHQL_UnifL_R3.01.exe.
I've been trying to determine two days why.
I really need help, I think more users have the same problem.
I am grateful for any help!

hi angefragt,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Did you just got the unit or You got it some time around?
If you were able to use the comuter before you might need to push a system restore to a date when the crashes did not appear. Adn start a Windows Update.
According to this, It may be a conflict, Driver or OS issue,

Lenovo G510 Inaccessible Boot Device and Internal Empty Port 5

Hi! I´ve got a lenovo G510 Laptop and I´ve been having several issues lately with it. First, it sometimes does not boot (a blue screen saying Inaccessible Boot Device appears on the screen). On the other hand, there are moments when the DVD recorder is not recognized either on windows or BIOS. (On Intel Rapid Storage there´s a SATA disk for the OS and instead of recognizing the DVD recorder it says Internal empty port 5); but this is not always, just sometimes. Is it possible for the two problems to be conected?Best,

To me that sounds like a harddrive is getting ready to, or has, totally failed. If this is a new laptop or the warranty is still good, I would contact customer support and see if you can get it fixed.

LENOVO G510 INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

LENOVO G510 INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
I have a preinstalled Windows 8.1. My Laptop keeps rebooting with INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error and doesnot starts my windows. I have tried every trick in the book - such as used all advance repair option which provides in the start, chkdsk /f/r and nor the legacy support doesn't even allow to boot from a cd/dvd. I need urgent help unable to use the Laptop for last 3 months. Really fedup.

hi Punit,
Welcome to the Forums.
An Inaccessible Boot Device means that the hard drive's fails to load the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) and its necessary files to load the Operating System. This could be due to a corrupted BCD, a boot sector virus, or a damaged boot sector (bad sectors on the HDD).
Things that you can try:
Option 1:
If you have access to a command prompt, follow this guide on how to repair the MRR/BCD (see Attempt Two and Three), otherwise, do the following:
a. On another PC, follow this guide on how to obtain a Windows 8.1 ISO (see Option One)
b. After downloading the Win8.1 ISO, follow this guide on how to make a bootable UEFI Win8.1 installer via DVD/USB flashdrive. When finished set the following settings in the BIOS (if applicable) to be able to boot from the media:
Security Tab:
Secure Boot = Disabled
Boot Tab:
USB Boot = Enabled (for bootable flashdrives)
Boot Mode = UEFI (for UEFI installers, otherwise, set this to Legacy)
Exit Tab:
OS Optimized Defaults = Other OS
If successful, you should be able on the Windows 8.1 installation screen. Click Repair your computer > Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Command Prompt or press Shift+F10 to open up a command prompt and follow this guide on how to repair the MRR/BCD (see Attempt Two and Three)
Option 2:
Use the bootable Windows 8.1 ISO that you created on Option 1 use it to reinstall Windows (the installation should be able to detect the Windows 8.1 product key in the UEFI firmware that will let you activate Windows). Note that you will need to reinstall the drivers from the D:\Drivers folder or from the G510 drivers page.
Option 3:
Shut off the machine, press the OneKey Recovery button and restore the system to original state (note that this will wipe out the OS partition)
if you have files to backup, use the installer that you created in Option 1 and follow this guide.

Lenovo g510 100% still charging

Hi,
i just bought a lenovo g510. Everything seems to be fine, except that after the battery is still charging after 100%.
I got the same message on windows 7 and 8.1, : 100 available (plugged in, charging)
the icon in the bottom right of the screen shows me the current cable is connected.
may damage the the battery? What should i do?

after i spet some time searching infos about this.. i found this: http://forum.notebookreview.com/sony/65055-sz-battery-fully-charged-still-charging-revisited.html
i installed http://www.passmark.com/products/batmon.htm and i watched the charging rate after the battery hits100%
and I noticed that the loading rate was declining. After about 10 min loading rate dropped to 0 and the message displayed by Windows was fully Charged 100%.
mention that I installed 64 bit and Windows 8.1 software for energy management is the cd that came with the laptop.

Lenovo G570 - Stays on Lenovo start up screen, then powers off

Lenovo G570
Model 4334
Hi
Whenever i switch on my laptop it stays on the Lenovo start up screen for about 30 seconds, and then powers off. During the 30 seconds the laptop fans runs louder than usual but nothing else happens.
Ocassionally it does get past that stage but then takes a long time on the 'starting windows' screen.
I've used the onekey recovery to return it to my backup and even returned it to the factory settings but the problem persists.
I'm unsure of what to next and how the problem can be solved. Any Suggestions?
Thanks.

try to load safe mode when you see lenovo logo at start-up. ( f8 )
if it works, press f8 again to load "last known good configuration"
otherwise, check your ram sticks ( remove/replace/swap ) and check if your hdd is working properly.
do you have any heating issue by the way? did you make changes recently?

Lenovo G510 can't access most BIOS features

Brand new Lenovo G510 running Windows 7 Ultimate 64. I'm trying to get into the BIOS to view things like my memory timing, but I also need to get into the system monitor so I can view temperature readings and also access and adjust fan speeds.
I can boot into some kind of BIOS using either the little Lenovo button, or by mashing F2, but neither of these BIOS pages are nearly as robust as my desktop BIOS settings have been.
This is my first ever laptop, so maybe this is normal, but it's frustrating to be told to change fan speeds to go into a menu which I can't even view, let alone modify. Hopefully this is just user error and not something related to the system.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi MarklonW,
Thanks for Posting!
For an OEM Laptop system this is quite normal.
Unlike Desktop that has a lot of BIOS Settings, Laptops only has few specially for OEM laptops where most of the settings are preset and non viewable inside the BIOS.
This is a link for BIOS screen shots of Lenovo System and you might find same settings in every system
http://service.lenovo.partner-management.com/et.cfm?eid=1437
There are users who tried unlocking / modding the BIOS (You can look it up online) but there are a lot more to it. and may cause serious damage to the system if done wrong.
I strongly suggest to use the system as it is
There are TEMP monitor software like HWmonitor to check GPU and CPU Temperature.
But for the fan speed Im doubt that it can be detected via software as it was tried before and there were no fan detected on the laptos.

Problem with AMD and Lenovo G510 Notebook

Hello,
I bought a Lenovo G510 Notebook i7 with both Intel and AMD Radeon 8570 graphic cards and I have to say my (first and only) experience with AMD and Lenovo is being so far totally disgusting.
My problem is that there's no way I can make the computer use the AMD Radeon while playing, I updated the drivers (even following instructions from Lenovo Staff in this forum) and there's no way to do it. I updated it from AMD and Intel webpages and neither works. Right now I have the latest drivers from Lenovo webpage and the computer can't even recognize the AMD graphic card (in Device manager is written as OPAL GT/XL 6604).
I don't know what else to try, I've been trying to look for more solutions in the websites but I have to say they are for me totally a mess and the only thing I got was "update your drivers" once and again. I hope the service is better than the offered in the website.
Diego

Can you tell me what Windows version are you using? And some other information.
For example:
G510
i5-4200M
4GB
500GB
Fresh Windows 8.1 Pro Update 1 x64 (means I did not update but installed fresh after formatting all partitions)
Intel HD 4600 & AMD Radeon HD 8570M
Also post a picture of your Device Manager with Display adapters expanded.

Lenovo G510 - High temps

Hi forum, i bought this laptop one and a half months ago and i notice that the temps are getting higher than normal.
When its idle it sometimes drop to 28C which is the lowest ive seen but usuallly is about 36C. When i open Skype, facebook game etc it can hit 83C with no reason. The cpu usage at that point is bearly 18%. My first thoughts are same, the fan is not kicking when i has to and makes the cpu run hot and then unable to cool it as much as it should.
I hope someone help us because i started to get annoyed, i cannot stress the laptop atall. Even when i play a game in facebook i can hear the fans rpm increase.
www.postimg.org/image/nsrxsavz1/
Is there any update that can fix this? cause its no dust or thermal paste issue and ofcourse no applications are running
According to :
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-G510-Notebook-Review.117221.0.html
The G510 graphics core always clocked at full speed in the stress test (Prime95 and Furmark run for at least one hour). The processor only ran at maximum speed in AC mode (2.9 GHz). When performing the stress test in battery mode, the CPU clocked with 2.5 GHz. The CPU's temperature settled to approximately 69 °C in the stress test (AC mode).

Check temps with hwinfo.
With tmonitor you can disable turbo boost which is a manufacturer hardware overclock and monit temps

Windows 8.1 installation problem on Lenovo G510

Hi. I bought a new Lenovo G510 laptop. I downloaded Windows 8.1 from Microsoft DreamSpark, and burned ISO image on a DVD disc. When I try to install it on my laptop, I receive an error (it might be wrong translated):
Load Driver
A media driver your computer needs is missing. This could be a DVD, USB, or Hard disk driver. If you have a CD, DVD, or USB flash drive with the driver on it, please insert it now.
Note: If the installation media for Windows in the DVD drive or on a USB drive, you can safely remove it for this step.
I already tried changing the following options in BIOS but no effect:
Configuration tab -> SATA Controller Mode from AHCI to Compatible
Boot tab -> Boot Mode from UEFI to Legacy Support
Boot tab -> Boot Priority from UEFI First to Legacy First
Also, I tried to insert CD with drivers which was in the box, but - of course - no appropiate drivers were found.
What happened? How am I supposed to install a Windows 8.1? What should I try? Thanks in advance for giving any clues and answers
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi JachuPL,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
From this microsoft article, the error that you're getting maybe caused by one of the following:
- The installation DVD is removed during the setup process.
- A low-quality DVD was used to create the installation DVD.
- The speed at which the installation DVD was burned was too fast.
- The DVD drive cannot read the media.
- The ISO file is corrupted.
Things that you can try:
1. Verify that the Windows 8.1 ISO is not corrupted by comparing the MD5 / SHA1 Hash of the download file to the one from DreamSpark. To get the hash, download and install the Microsoft File Checksum Integrity Verifier and foillow this guide.
2. Instead of using a DVD, follow this guide on how to create a bootable Windows 8.1 USB installer and use it to install Windows 8.1. (use the USB 2.0 port on the unit).
Let me know how it goes.
