Lenovo G530 4446-36U Keyboard issue

When typing on the keyboard it seems to randomly mouse click. I imagin that the key keyboard and touch pad are integrated. I just bought this laptop, problem right out of the box. The support site is unhelpful and many links are broken.

Yes, I am having the exact same problem, right out of the box. While typing, especially in a text input box in a browser (such as gmail), the cursor will randomly reposition itself or I get the autoscroll function suddenly activated.
Have you got any information on solving it yet?

Specifications for G530 4446-36U?

I have ordered a new G530 4446-36U from a Lenovo reseller and am having trouble finding detailed technical information about it. (The model is not in the most recent 3book.pdf, for instance.) I'm not even sure whether this model is in the commercial or consumer line.
I plan to do a clean install of Windows XP on this machine, which will require me to find the most correct and up-to-date set of drivers. I'm wary of the list I have been served when putting my model number into the Lenovo web site--that list includes drivers such as nVidia graphics and Bluetooth that I'm pretty sure none of the G530 4446 machines need. I also am worried about being pointed so often to N500 drivers and information--are those models really the same in all relevant respects?
Furthermore, in a look through this forum, I have noticed that some Value Line customers have had trouble after trying to upgrade the BIOS, and other G530 owners running XP have problems with video resolution. I'm hoping to avoid those situations by finding the most correct and complete drivers, documentation, and specifications.
I would be grateful if someone could point me to the most specific and accurate information available about the G530 4446-36U.

Hi KevinTMC,
4446 is definitely a commercial product instead of consumer line.Commercial products has only 7 digits of serial number.
You can get the drivers from Lenovo Support Page or here to be exact .
The http://consumersupport.lenovo.com page is for consumer products other than 4446 type.
If you browse through the Lenovo Support Page, you'll be able to see your machine description as below:
Product: Lenovo G530 4446-36U [change]
Operating system: All [change]
Original description: T4200(2GHz), 3GB RAM, 250GB 5400rpm HD, 15.4in 1280x800 LCD, Intel 4500M, CDRW/DVDRW, 802.11bg wireless, Bluetooth, Modem, 10/100 Ethernet, Touchpad, Camera, 6c Li-Ion, WinVista Home Premium 32

Friends G530 4446-36U died

my friend gave me his laptop to try and fix. its a G530 4446-36U. It would sit there on startup repair for over 10 hours and nothing happened. I backed up his stuff and use the lenovocare to get it to do a full restore. It restarted, and then it said BOOTMGR is missing press ctrl-alt-del to restart. i did and now it just sits at a black screen when you turn it on. i really really need help guys!

sometimes it just happens without no reason.
you need to perform clean windows installation to fix the issue. try to use novo button. ( one key recover button ) if it doesn't work, try to use recovery disks, if you don't have any, you can use microsoft windows installation dvd then enter your serial number from the stick under the laptop. but if you do that with microsoft dvd, one key recover system may not work.
you can also ship your laptop back to lenovo support line.

If someone can point me in the directions of some CLEAR instructions, I would be most grateful.

G530 (4446-22G) unknown devices after Win7 installation

Hi,
I recently installed windows 7 ultimate 64-bit on my father's Lenovo G530 (4446-22G) laptop. In device manager I see 2 "base system devices" in yellow that are not recognized. Does anyone have any idea what those devices might be? I attach screenshot of the device manager both by type and connection.
Also, I installed the Energy Management for win7 64-bit but the Fn keys do not work. Any suggestions about this?
Thank you in advance.

Hi, i believe your Lenovo laptop is abit older model. Pardon me. Try install this and see if it solves your Fn keys not working.

BIOS update crashed G530 4446-23U Win 7 32 bit

I have installed latest BIOS upgrade from Lenovo and my laptop crashed. (June 24 2011)
Will not boot, Lenovo restore doesn't help, can't boot from Windows 7 DVD
Does anyone know of a utility to create a bootable USB (or disk) BIOS flash
to roll-back to a working version of BIOS?

Yeah.... Warranty .... Thank you!
This is a solution which actually works;
It was recommended by a brilliant friend who is not associated with Lenovo:
create bootable usb flash drive
here is a link to download wintoflash utility:
http://download.cnet.com/WinToFlash/3000-2094_4-10974471.html
Unzip 6get19ww.exe to the usb flash drive to a folder (for example C:\SOS)
boot computer from newly created usb flash drive (if Windows doesn't work, use command prompt)
locate an old bios file on a crashed machine. It should be name bios.bak
copy located file to another folder with the name bios.wph for example (C:\SOS\bios.wph)
run WinPhlash.exe from a folder (for example C:\SOS)
specify backup file for existing BIOS as bios1.bak
specify new BIOS file as C:\SOS\BIOS.WPH
flash BIOS
Everything WORKS!

Lenovo G530 - problem with certain keys on keyboard

hi everyone.
I have a Lenovo G530 and I am having an odd problem with the keyboard. If i press the spacebar when I type anything, i get the system date and time. If I press the H button, I get a hn and i get nh when I press the N key. Also get gb when I press G and bg when I press B. The rest of the keys are fine. Any ideas what could help???
I has this problem about a month ago and I remember reading somewhere on the net that if I press Alt-Crt-Del and some other key, it shoudl work... and it must have cause the problem stopped. But now it's back and I can't find that combination again.
I have Windows Vista installed.
Thanks!!!

Hello,
I doubt it's a hardware problem at all. I believe it's a "fun" program running on your machine that does this. Someone put it there for you.
A sure way to make sure what it is....... connect a USB keyboard to your laptop. If that USB keyboard is doing the same thing then it's software related, if not, then it's hardware related.
If it is infact a funware there or a virus you'd have to go to a malware forum and ask around. If it turns out to be malware try Spybot Search & Destroy.

(SOLVED) Display brightness disappeared from Power Options in Vista, Lenovo G530

Hello board,
My system Lenovo G530 product ID 444638U
I used to be able to adjust display brightness in Vista from Control Panel > Power Options. I could set how bright when on battery and how bright when on AC. Also, it used to be that when I unplugged power cable it would automatically adjust my brightness according to those settings. Now, nothing happens when I unplug power cable, not even a beep.
Possible problem is as follows, but let's keep an open mind to other things as well. I spilled beer on keyboard recently. ONLY on keyboard I am sure. I replaced keyboard with something that fits but something that isn't made for my laptop, has different arrangement of Fn+ keys. Basically ever since the beer accident and ever since I replaced keyboard I had this brightness issue.
Please help me solve this.
-Alex
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I solved this problem..
Solution is to upgrade the BIOS to latest version. I am not sure actually whether latest BIOS had the needed fix or not, or it was just the process of updating the BIOS that solved this issue. But no doubt, after flashing the BIOS, display brightness function reappeared!

Lenovo G530 laptop screen flicker

I have a Lenovo G530 laptop that has an issue with screen flicker that is getting worse. The computer screen will start going thru a crazy screen flicker then will stop and start again. I have already checked cable connection to lcd on motherboard and reseated connection of lcd to motherboard located under the keyboard as someone suggested in another posting I found online that resolved issue for them. I am starting to think it might be a bad inverter or screen because I have hooked up laptop to external monitor and it is running fine with no flickering happening when the flickering is occurring on laptop.
I am attaching a link to a small video I shot of the issue as it is occurring on laptop screen.
Does anyone have any further suggestions?

Problem with a new battery for lenovo g530

i've perchased a new Lenovo Battery for my G530 4446-24G laptop and i can't turn on the computer with the battery only and in addition to that when the computer is connected to power i can't turn on the computer unless i unplug the battery from the computer and than after i've turned it on with power , plug the battery back to the computer.
can you help me solve this problem? is this a battery or computer problem?

I have had the very same issue. If I start my G530 up and the battery is installed, it won't start. If I remove the battery and start the laptop using AC power, it starts fine and I can then reinsert the battery and all continues well. In addition, I can shutdown the laptop (with the AC power remaining plugged in and the battery inserted) and it will start up just fine. It's the INITIAL start that requires the battery first be removed. As is obvious, the laptop can't be started up using only the battery (no AC power). The laptop didn't behave this way originally but does so now.

G530-4446 - Win7 - Scroll on touchpad no longer works

Hey, I recently had to reinstall Windows 7 Ultimate on my G530-4446. My touchpad works, but the scrolling doesn't. When I go to Control Panel > Mouse - I notice that the settings are no longer there to control the scrolling. I remember there was a driver I downloaded previously that corrected this issue, but cannot find it anywhere (I've been searching for 2 solid days now). If anyone could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

hi mcal,
May I ask about other feature did that driver put back some other feature no your touchpad?
I would suggest doing a clean install of that driver.
try to look first under control panel Programs and features look for a synaptics software the un-install it.
After that do a restart and reinstall the Driver again.
also try to access the Setting under mouse properties
and check if the scrolling are enabled.
link to sample photo
that photo may not be exactly the same but that should give you a hint on where to check.
Hope this helps,
Cheers!!
