  • My MacBook Pro Core Duo from 2006 shuts down randomly requiring frequent reboots to the point I had to abandon doing any project or anything on this MacBook Pro. Same thing occurs with the iMac dual core from 2007. MacBook battery replaced.

    My MacBook Pro Core Duo from 2006 shuts down randomly requiring frequent reboots to the point I had to abandon doing any project or anything on this MacBook Pro. Same thing occurs with the iMac dual core from 2007. MacBook battery replaced. Is it internal battery for both, new logic board required, bad hard drive, or bad RAM?
    Help.

    Run an Apple Hardware Test using the original installation disk that has the AHT instructions on it.
    Try SMC and PRAM resets:

  • I'm having frequent RSDs with my MacBook Pro 15" Core Duo Model A1150.

    I'm having frequent RSDs with my MacBook Pro 15" Core Duo Model A1150. Checked inside for dust around fans, etc., but none was visible. Laptop gets very warm, more so on the left side than right. Any suggestions for finding the problem & solutions?

    But it's covered by Apple's warranty - if you ask, they should erase & reinstall OS X then if it still panics without adding any 3rd party software, there has to be some problem with the computer.

  • Lenovo G550 laptop - red, blue, yellow specks and lines on screen

    Hello,
    I have a 2 year old Lenovo G550 laptop, system model 20023 ( Dual-Core CPU T4300 2,10Ghz, 3,00GB RAM) running 32-bit Win 7 Home Premium OS with graphic card Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family.
    Month ago, I started getting 2 vertical lines on my screen, which change colors and tend to disappear when I tilt it. Recently, problem graduated to red, blue, yellow specks all over the screen. Tilting no longer works, but I noticed a definite relationship with the degree of pressure on the case. When I push hard enough on the left spot below the case (where hard disk is located), the problem resolves completely. I also tried plugging another monitor in and there seems to be no problem either. Please, help.
    Solved!

    Graphic card issue sounded highly unlikely with the external monitor image appearing to be normal. I tried reseating the lcd cable and it fixed the problem.

  • Lenovo G550 processor upgrade

    I am upgrading a Lenovo G550 that I purchased a few years ago for my wife. So far I was able to install 8GB or RAM and a 500GB HDD with no issues. However when I tried to upgrade the processor, the laptop would not power up. It will turn on and the lights will indicate that the HDD is on and the battery is on, but I do not get the Lenovo splash screen. I hear my fan going but nothing happens. Only a black screen. I purchased an Intel Core 2 Duo processor P7550 (2.26GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 3MB L2 Cache) based on the speciation sheet below. I was wondering if anyone might know where I could find any documentation that specifically lists what CPUs are compatible with the Lenovo G550. Ideally I'd like to install the best processor it will take. Thank you.

    hi there,
    I haven't seen a G550 with a Intel Core 2 Extreme Mobile QX9300 CPU but if you bought it working from a G550 laptop or it has a lenovo FRU on it then it may work (it'll also good if you can return the item just in case it doesn't work).
    In addition, take note that the QX9300 has a max TDP of 45W, whereas the CPU's listed in this pdt datasheet are only 35W so the motherboard might not take the heat if the QX9300 reaches it's peak usage.
    Also, I've looked into some additional details and these are the CPU's that are tested to work with the G550.

  • Lenovo g550 linux intallatio​n doubt ;need to intall 32 bit or 64 bit?

    Hi!
    I Have a Lenovo g550 which has Win7 Home Basic and Windows Vista Business(This one has been installed later).
    Now, I am planning to install the latest version of Linux Ubuntu. But, When I am going to download its iso from the main Website, it gives me an information -  "If you have a PC with the Windows 8 logo or UEFI firmware, choose the 64-bit download. Read more ›" Wht should I do?Especially because both of my o/s-es and processor(Intel Pentium Dual core) is 32-bit .

    Hi,
    Ubuntu advises the 64-bit version for some machines because it (12.10 64 bit or later) is required to install and boot on a UEFI/Win 8/Secure boot machine.
    If you have a 32 bit procesor you can and must use a 32-bit Ubuntu version on your machine.

  • Clean Installation Of FCE 3.5 UPGRADE On Core Duo iMac?

    In a previous post Scott told me that when I get a new Core Duo iMac I will be able to install the UPGRADE version of FCE 3.5 straight away without needing to install the old FCE 3 first. (I will need of course to use my FCE3 serial number).
    I have just contacted the UK Apple Store and was told that I would probably need to install FCE3 first! However, when I challenged him the rep wasn't too certain!
    Does anyone definitely know whether I can just go ahead and install from the UPGRADE DVDs without needing my original FCE3 DVDs - apart from the serial number?
    (Apologies to Scott for harbouring doubts but my middle name should have been Thomas!)

    "Is a Win 7 32 virtual client an option?"
    What VC are you using?
    I use VMWare Player (free) and use it to create virtual clients as needed.  Typically the virtual clients are "clean installs" from ISOs.  VMWare has it so well mechanized that there's not much to it.
    It's pretty quick and easy to install Player and give it a try.  Another advantage to that approach is that there's only a single OS at the top level and backups can capture the whole mess w/out having to deal with 2 or 3 different OSs and their partitions.

  • I am trying to install bootcamp with windows xp professional on my macbook core duo. This is my first mac and i just purchased it. The disk will partition but when i try to start the installer a white screen appears then a folder with a ? in it appears

    I just recently purchased this macbook. The optical drive was faulty, i opened it up and rubbed alcohol on the lens and that didnt work. I connected an old ide dvd rw drive in a 3.5 enclosure and it seems to work like a charm. I installed snow leopard with it so i know that it is in complete working order. I also upgraded the ram so that should not be an issue either. This is a first generation macbook 1.1 with the core duo processor. I just want to install my xp professional operating system onto this unit. I have the original xp professional disk with service pack 2, not a burned iso. When i try to launch the windows installer the dvd drive fires up and it seems like its attempting to launch windows then the screen goes from bright white to a folder with a question mark on it. From there nothing happens. Is there something i can do or that i am missing here?

    Your problem is not Boot Camp, in fact, is your optical drive. Win XP requires indeed sp2, but also the internal drive, does not work from external optical drive.
    For other possible tricks, please use the appropriate Boot Camp forum, not here. Mac OS X may be installed from both external and internal optical drive and/or internal/external partition of a disk, any disk. Windows is not so generous.

  • Lenovo G550 Windows 7 Professional Upgrade

    This Notice refers to 2958-A5U and 2958-A4U models of the Lenovo G550 notebook PC’s only.
    The 2958-A5U and 2958-A4U G550 systems ship preloaded with Windows XP Professional, and include a Windows 7 Professional upgrade disk.  
    Issue: When upgrading from Windows XP Professional to Windows 7, some users have been unable to successfully complete the upgrade.  The most commonly reported failure point is when the customer is asked to insert a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) key. The Microsoft Upgrade process for Win XP to Win7 requires the upgrade to be executed from a ‘cold boot’. If the Windows 7 DVD is inserted while the system is running, the installation process will auto run. However, at the end of the installation process, the system will ask for a 25-key Certificate of Authenticity (COA). The Win7 upgrade process will not successfully finish the installation using this method. The installation DVD must be inserted while the machine is powered off and not running.
    When upgrading from Windows XP Professional to Windows 7, Microsoft advises that this process be done via a custom ‘clean’ installation.  Per Microsoft.com; "A custom (clean) installation erases the contents of your PC's hard drive. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7".  The clean install will remove any pre-loaded software applications, including VeriFace, One Key Recovery, and other applications that were installed by Lenovo or the user. 
    Customers should review the following information prior to performing the Windows 7 Professional upgrade.
    The Windows 7 installation procedure provides a clean installation of Windows 7 Professional edition. During this process, all contents of the C: drive including all applications, files, programs and user data will be archived in the Windows.old folder.  The data should be available for access, but the applications and programs will not run, and Windows 7 appropriate versions will need to be installed. Lenovo STRONGLY recommends that external backups or all user data are made prior to initiating the upgrade in order to prevent permanent data loss.
    Correct Windows 7 Upgrade Procedure:
    1) Power off system
    2) Insert Windows 7 disk in the DVD drive
    3) Power on system and press F12 to access the boot order menu
    4) Select the option to start from the DVD / Optical drive
    5) Follow the on screen directions as Windows 7 installs
    6) Remove the DVD at the end of the process and reboot to Windows 7
    Windows 7 has native drivers that will fully support most of the hardware on Lenovo G550 systems.  In order to maximize the functionality of the Trackpad and the Power Management system, the appropriate Lenovo drivers must be installed. The most current Lenovo Windows 7 drivers and applications are available for download here. Please check this site periodically for updates. 
    Recovering to Windows XP by using One Key Recovery:
    The One Key Recovery feature can restore the factory XP downgrade preload at any time, but will erase all other data. 
    Important: All user data should be saved prior to implementing the following procedure
          1) Power off the system
    2) Press the recovery button (small round button next to the power button)
    3) System will start and OKR (one key recovery) application will load
    4) Select System Recovery from the menu
    5) Select option to Restore to factory default 
    6) Click “Start” button to recover your system partition

    The recovery disk set is supposed to have an SLP key embedded, so that you do not need to activate it, as long as the disk set matches the OS version that is nominated on the COA attached to the laptop.
    If it really does say "windows 7 ultimate", then there is something odd going on. Can you please double check that it says "ulitimate"?

  • Lenovo G550 Graphics Very Bad, want to install external GPU

    Hi everyone!
              I own a Lenovo G550 (model 20023). It currently has a Intel Pentium Dual Core T4500, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator(That's one hell of a bad GPU!!!!), 4Gb DDR3 Ram(had 2gb DDR3 Factory Installed), with 3 operating systems(Yes, three!).
               I can see that the Gpu bottlenecks the whole Computer. My objective is to run Prince Of persia:Forgotten Sands at a proper resolution and at medium Graphics Mode without High Resolution Textures(or Minecraft at about 100 fps At full setting, in 16x16 texture pack).
               I see that the only way to safely increase without turning my computer into a paperweight si by using a External Gpu. But, I dont know anything about them(like Where to get them readymade, Will it fit into the PCI ExpressCard port etc.). Please give some Information. 

    hi atreyabain,
    The Intel Graphics Media Accelerator on the G550 is soldered on the motherboard and can't be upgraded. There's also no PCI / PCI-E slot on the mobo where you can add a discrete card. AFAIK, there's no ready made external GPU. You need to do it yourself . See the following:
    How to make an external laptop graphics adaptor
    How to Upgrade Your Notebook Graphics Card Using DIY ViDOCK
    Although it looks promissing, it may not be practical and you're better off buying a mid/high-end rig for your gaming needs.

  • Only one core working in Core Duo X60

    I bought a 2nd-hand Lenovo/IBM x60 Thinkpad about a year ago on Craigslist. Perfect condition, nice price, all legit-looking, and I'm using it now -- except that the guy had replaced the legit XP Pro with a bootleg installation of Windows7, without saving any backups or making rescue disks or anything. It worked fine and updated and everything, but I didn't want to run bootleg Windows, so I was determined to reconstruct the legit XP Pro SOMEhow. I had various Windows disks (incl. a non-legit install CD some vendor stuffed into my shopping bag) and a full set of recovery disks from my T40 Thinkpad.
    It wasn't easy or quick, and didn't go smoothly, and I don't think I saved detailed notes on all the steps I took, but I finally got it running smoothly. XP Pro, SP3, with the same ID# as on the sticker, and enough updated drivers to run properly. I've been using it pretty happily for the past year, except that the speed has been disappointing. Recently, it's finally dawned on me that I'm only using one CPU core in the 2-core "Core Duo" CPU. That's presumably because the T40 only has a single-core CPU, and I used its XP setup (with some updated drivers, etc.).
    Device Manager says my Computer is an "Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC", not an "ACPI Multiprocessor PC".
    Other than converting to Linux or buying a copy of XP Pro. . . is there a way I can educate this computer to use both of its CPU cores??
    [Here's more details, and what I THINK I know about the problem:]
    I think the problem is in the HAL = Hardware Abstraction Layer, and I've already tried using XPud Linux to substitute-rename the multi-core halmacpi.dll file from the SPFiles\i386 folder, making it the Hal.dll file in the System32 folder (which was formerly identical to the 1-core halacpi.dll in that folder -- no, not the halaacpi.dll file I expected to be identical). But the computer wouldn't boot Windows afterwards, so I substituted-renamed the Hal.dll file back -- successfully, without having to restore from an image. I'm guessing that there's another file or two that refer to that Hal.dll file that don't match up, but I can't find any advice online other than to re-install Windows. Since I still don't have the "real" Windows install CD for this Core Duo computer, I don't think that's a good option.
    I feel a bit victimized here, because I'm going to a bunch of extra trouble to be legit, but I'm not being treated (by MS or Lenovo/IBM) as a valued customer. (I must have gotten at least 5 or 6 "You're a pirate!" error messages while I was trying to restore the computer to its original legitimate OS!)
    Lenovo/IBM will sell me a new Rescue disk for $50 -- I bought one for an earlier Thinkpad, my T22, IIRC -- but I'm not confident that I'd get joy from that, either. (As I recall, the old one I bought didn't do everything I'd hoped it would do.) Plus, I'd rather not have to reconstruct and reconfigure all my software unless I have to.
    BTW, I've wiped out the traditional IBM Rescue partition I had originally set up and merged it with C:. (I wanted the GBs.) I do still have an image backup of it, and I could restore it (and try using it), but there's no reason to believe that it would help, since it presumably came from my 1-core T40, not from a Core Duo machine.
    Any suggestions?

  • Lenovo G550 one key recovery and wi-fi problem

    Hello all,
    I have recently upgraded Vista to Win 7 on my G550 and I have a problem with the wlan connection. I get connected, but there's no internet access, only "limited connectivity". The driver's installed correctly, I've checked each and every setting and cannot find the source of this problem.
    My OneKeyRecovery is not working anymore, I looked at the drivers site and saw there is no Recovery driver for Win 7. How can this be?
    Anyone care to help me, please?
