LENOVO G550 DC-T4500 Tragedy, Internal crack on LCD screen

Well i am new to this forum and when i was looking for ‘Lenovo customer service’ on Google, i realised that there are many people in the same boat as me.
Well i never imagined this to happen to me, but the fact is it has happened. I purchased a new ‘LENOVO G550 DC-T4500’ which is a new laptop by Lenovo at a very low price. Well i had a low budget and was thinking of getting a small netbook, but then I saw this Lenovo ad at center.com and went and purchased it from them on 11th November 2010. I got the laptop in my office and kept it there for a week. Finally after 7 days i took it home. I did not use it instantly because I had to setup many things like Microsoft office etc and just didn’t get the time to do that. Finally after 7 days I opened it up and installed Microsoft office. I used it for like 2 hours. The next day i opened the laptop and then was trying to set the internet, and after an hour the laptop screen went blank. I did not use it even for 4 complete hours. I gave it back to center.com and they asked me whether i dropped it. Well the fact is i never dropped it. It was used just like for four hours in total. I don’t have kids or pets in my house. I stay with my husband and we both are old enough to handle laptops. Well this crack was not an external crack on the screen but an internal crack on the LCD screen. Now isn’t that weird that there is no crack on the laptop but a cack developed on the LCD screen and they say that it has been dropped. Now i don’t know how to prove that i did not drop the laptop, but the real truth is that i never did anything to the laptop for it to develop that internal crack. When i returned it back to center.com i returned it with complete packing because all this time when the laptop was with me it was packed and i opened it up after 7 days and used it for 4 just hours in total.
Center.com told us that Lenovo has rejected the warranty in this case and gave me a number for lenovo’s customer service department. I called up lenovo’s customer service department for like 4 days. Each time a different person answered the phone and gave me different answers. Some said we are looking into it. Finally they made me go crazy then finally one person called and said the same thing, he is looking into the case. After few days he sent an email and said that they can’t help and the crack cannot develop on its own and if I have to get it repaired I have to pay like almost the same amount as that of the laptop. This is ridiculous, absolutely disappointing.
Well even if Lenovo does not help me i would like to tell all those people who are reading this, buying a laptop from Lenovo and then going through all the pain for no mistake of yours is the worst thing that can ever happen to a customer. And no matter how big this company is, but the fact is that they are not worth it. I pray this does not happen to anyone else. I felt cheated and hurt. I will never ever recommend anyone to buy a laptop from Lenovo.

first let me say that I am in know way implying that you broke your screen but you can crack the LCD screen without causing damage to the case you can set something on it and cause a pressure crack pressure from your fingers can crack it as for internal external it appears to be internal because the clear plastic on the outside does not crack like glass there had to be some kind of force to crack the screen they just don't brake they go out from time to time as in no video but not crack

LCD Screen is cracked, support won't repair the product they want me to buy a new o

Hi,
I have owned three different types of Creative player and much prefer them over the Ipods.
However, after cracking the LCD screen on my Vision M,?I contacted support to ask about a repair. I am fully in warranty but knew that because i had caused this crack by dropping it they would keep pointing me to the warranty disclaimer, which they did.
I have searched the forums for other posts about out of warranty repair, and have found several cases where administrators say that it is possible to pay for a repair. But then no one posts back saying if they actually?managed to get a repair.
So the question is has anybody actually got a repair they have paid for?
I have contacted the email support on numerous occasions this week, and they keep pointing me in the direction of the Creative Tutors.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Dan

the cost of repair would likely exceed the cost of a replacement. they are available online for as little as $74 if you look carefully. repairs for broken headphone jacks (an easier repair) are over $00 thru Creative. alternately, put a message on craigslist and see if someone can fix it for you by purchasing a dead one and transferring the screen. good luck.

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.
Best regards,
neokenchi

Hi ,
I have Lenovo G550 and it crashed. When i used recovery discs .. i got some problem saying" Cant read from the device". So I turned it off and tried with another set of receovery discs i have made. But Now it is saying " Insuffient space and not highlighting patitions in the receovery process step 1. It shouws the partitions but not highlighted. I tried several times.But the same problem. How Can I solve this problem and get recovery done. As I bought this laptop in India and using in UK. I can not call customer service now. Could any one of you please help me. Do I need to do partition again and try recovery or Is there any simpler way. I can not buy expensive partition software. If Partition is mandatory which partitions should i make and in which format?
My Lap Details:
15.4inch Lenovo G550 with 320GB and Windows 7 Home Premium and the processor is Core 2 Duo.
Please help me
Thank you,
Renuka

it could be because of you re-partitioned the volume. warranty may cover the issue if you have valid one ( international warranty - iws - )
try to burn default backup before ordering dvd sets.
you can order recovery discs. call lenovo support line.

I am about to throw my Lenovo G550 into moving traffic

I have seriously at the end of my FREAKING ropes with my Lenovo G550 (2598) laptop. I swear on my life I am about to go and purchase a new computer and best believe it will NEVER be a lenovo. I am at the end of my ropes with this piece of crap laptop. It seems to me that I have joined like 1500000 other people having the same issue and no one from lenovo seems to have a viable answer to the problem. My computer literally will work occasionally and then it will just start to shut off at random times on me. It has went to sleep on me 5 times already trying to post this message. I just completely did a factory reset on the thing and erased all of my files and returned it to its "factory" state. This did not fix the issue. In fact, it has gotten 10x worse since i did the factory reset. I have ran Malware bytes. I restarted the computer in safe mode and ran combofix, malware bytes, adwcleaner, cccleaner, and **bleep** near all of the solid antivirus softwares. I have manually scanned the registry for anything that should not be there and still have found nothing. I am fed up to no end here. I design websites and have a business online that I CANNOT BE DEALING WITH THIS BULL. I have searched on here and literally have found nothing whatsoever that is gonna help me solve the issue. I took the back of the computer off and airdusted the fan (filled with dust) and that did not help either. I mean what more is there possibly to do? I will install a software and every time it usually says something along the lines of "a pending restart may be near. Are you sure you want to continue with the installation?" Someone with some knowledge for the love of God come and shed some light on this bull**bleep**. I just bought this laptop like 2 years ago so if thats what happens to your laptops after 2 years best believe I will go with apple for the rest of my life because i dont see any of my friends with macbooks having any sorts of these problems.

Why aren't you having it repaired? If a factory reset and installing the latest official drivers doesn't help it's usually a hardware issue.
If it shuts down randomly could be the motherboard or CPU.
I wouldn't buy Apple, everything is glued or soldered together, and when you run out of warranty, you will go bankrupt trying to have it repaired.
Grab a ThinkPad, you won't regret it!

Where is the software for the Lenovo G550???

I want to do a clean install and replace the pre-installed Vista with Windows 7.
I see that the Lenovo G550 download page has drivers for Windows 7, but where is the pre-installed software, like Veriface, camera software, and all other pre-installed Lenovo software? I looked at all OS options for the G550 on the download page, and NONE of them had the G550 laptop software, all they had for each OS option was only the drivers.
I understand that I can make a recovery DVD, but as I understand it, it will return the system to the factory fresh state (all pre-installed programs installed, but also with the factory installed VISTA - yuck!). I didn't see any option to only re-install the Lenovo software without also re-installing the OS.
When I look at the download pages for other Lenovo laptops, I see that they have drivers AND SOFTWARE, but the G550 has no software except for the drivers. Since the G550 came with no software disks, and there doesn't seem to be any of the software online, how exactly does one do a clean installation of an operating system, and then re-install the Lenovo software, on a G550?
I was able to find downloads of programs like Veriface on the Lenovo site for different laptop models, but unfortunately those were much older software versions, and for a different Operating system.
Why can't Lenovo post all of the software online? If they aren't going to provide the software on DVD when they ship the PC, then they should at least have it online; so that people can do a reinstallation if necessary. DELL doesn't seem to have a problem putting all of the software for their PCs online, and they also provide it on disk with the PC.
Do I have to find the hidden backup partition and then copy the Lenovo software installation files to a DVD or different drive myself? Has anyone done this, and if so, can they please provide some assistance as to the best way to accomplish this task?
If there is a different/easier way to accomplish my end goal of a G550 with a Windows 7 clean install, and also with a re-installation of all pre-installed Lenovo software, I would be extremely grateful for any assistance. If there is also a way for me to select which factory software I wanted to install, that would be even better ( I don't need all of the crapware that came on the PC)
Thanks in advance,
Sven

Thanks, I'll give that a try when I finally get the Windows 7 upgrade disk.
It seems ridiculous that Lenovo doesn't support this product for Windows 7, especially when they mentioned the "FREE" upgrade (with ridiculous "shipping and handling charge") to Windows 7 on the web page where I ordered it. Being a reasonable person, I assumed that when they offered a "Free" upgrade to Windows 7 with the PC, they would also provide the basic software to allow the built-in hardware like webcams to keep on functioning as they did under Vista.
Had I known that they would refuse to offer any software on disks or download, I would have ordered a DELL or some other PC that has a reasonable level of customer service. I am not a typical user; I don't call in for customer support. All I need is the software and drivers, and I will install it myself.

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"?
With Windows 7 licening issues and keys, the terminology needs to be quite exact to get to the best answer for you!

Lenovo g550 upgrade hard drive and ram

I have a Lenovo G550 (20023), it has Intel T4300 CPU, 3 GB DDR3 RAM,Intel GMA 4500M graphics card and Windows 7, with 320 GB seagate HDD.
I would like to buy a new HDD.
I found a 2TB Verbatim drive 15 mm height.
How much drive height does G550 support?
Also somewhere it says that 4 GB RAM is max supported, elsewhere it says 8 GB.
Are there any CPUs with integrated graphics (Intel HD 4000 etc....) available for this laptop?
Thank you for answers.

Ooops. Yes. Sorry for that silly typo. It is 2 TBs. Here's the info on memory:
Maximum Memory
16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM

Lenovo G550 move partition to new HDD (including one key recovery)

Hi guys.
I have a Lenovo G550 laptop.
I am looking to change out the existing stock HDD with a new SSD drive (from what I understand from other Lenovo support services, it is SATA II compatible (see http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Essential/Lenovo-G550-HDD-SATA-I-or-SATA-II/ta-p/692351)...
Firstly. Is it possible to change the stock HDD with an SSD drive? I have a budget of about $100 AUD so it would only be a 60-120gb HDD. Would 60gb be enough (I really only need about 30gb of space on the c: drive), or would I need to look at the 120gb option.
Secondly, is there any way of migrating the entire contents of the existing HDD to the SSD HDD?
I have the ability to connect them both externally, and a spare blank 1TB HDD that I can use in the interim if needs be.
Ultimately I would like the SSD drive to have the one key boot partition and the original Windows on it. I don't mind loosing all my programs and files - I can back them up and install them in my leisure.
To complicate matters, my DVD drive isn't working (but I do have an external DVD drive I may be able to use, even possibly booting from. But not 100% sure if I can boot from it!)
And to further complicate matters, the laptop has recieved quite a bit of use, so the sticker with the product key number has been worm off. Argh!
Thank-you in advance for the assistance.
Cheers,
Dale.

Just done this with a G770.
Simply back up all the HD with Acronis or something to your 1TB disk. Not sure how you would connect this. USB would be best.
Exchange the laptop HD for the SSD
Boot Acronis with the CD and Restore your backup.
Works fine.
You'll have to check the bios to see if you can boot from Ext DVD.

URGENT Lenovo g550 webcam does not show up in Device Manager and all drivers cannot be installed

Hello everyone. So my lenovo g550 webcam stopped working after I did a clean install of windows 7 home. When I go under device manager I do not see any unknow devices. When I also go to show hidden devices it is not there. Could anyone give me information about how to fix this and if the cable to the webcam might be broken. If so, is there a way I could convert the webcam's pin outs to usb to test it. I have split an old usb cable into four colored spots. Not sure if i want to test it though. That would be my last resort. If needbe, can you tell me the pin outs for the webcam. It has five connectors. The reason I know this is usb is because my older installation on windows 7 detected it and said that the usb could be faster. Thanks.

Sorry about that. I've only been a member for a few days. I will remove the post with all Capps. Have a nice day!

Lenovo g550 windows xp drivers will not load

Help! I purchased a Lenovo G550 yesterday and am in need of assistance. Unfortuantely it doesn't appear that there is any way to contact Lenovo, the website doesn't show any method of even emailing them without an IBM service tag (which unless you are corporate user you can't get).
I purchased a lenovo g550 yesterday configuration is 3gb ram 160Gb HDD. Upon booting the system I discovered that in fact users only get access to about 100Gb of the harddrive the rest is set up under multiple hidden drives. I the system came with windows 7 home edition. I need windows xp. So through several hours of work I was able to create some unallocated space on the harddrive. I loaded my copy of windows xp professional to this space and since windows automatically selects the drive name it is drive D:
I went to the lenovo website prior to loading xp and manually downloaded every driver from the site (very time consuming, I saw another way via a forum but was not able to locate it on the lenovo website). Immendiately after loading xp and rebooting I loaded the intel chipset driver. Then rebooted. No other drivers will load for any of the other pieces of hardware. All of THEM, everyone crashes with an error message that there is not enough disk space on c: to load. I would guess that there isn't since c: is a 200mb hidden drive created by Lenovo.
Does anyone have a work around for this problem with the lenovo drivers? This has turned into a multi-hour project for something very simple - putting an alternative operating system on the computer. I cannot put xp as the c: drive because of the lenovo hidden partition is named c:. I don't want to delete windows 7, as I expect to move to it in the next year but right now I several thousand dollars worth of software in xp and need to use that software.
I sure would appreciate any assistance :-) Again the issue is the lenovo windows xp drivers, everyone of them excluding the intel chipset driver will not load under windows xp when windows xp is loaded onto the d: partition. they all say they want to load onto the c: parition which is not an option.
thanks in advance for any help and if anyone knows how to get in contact with lenovo would love that also.

Well if you do not want win7 all together, then just delete all the partitions and install your XP. But if your not wanting to mess up this drive to be able to use the win7 later then just buy a cheap HDD to put XP on. --> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148452 $10 off and free shipping. but being that you already tried installing XP then you already messed up win7 anyways(if you did not make the restore disks), your better off just deleting and redoing XP.

Lenovo G550 does not charge battery!!!! please help!!!!! :c

So i havent used my Lenovo for about a year and a half because i had lost the originial charger. ive recently bought a new cheap charger from amazon and thought it was the charger that was the problem when i looked it up online and found out it may be a bug from Windows 7. Now, this charger does turn on my laptop, but it does not charge it. It simply says "plugged in, not charging" and when i was reading an article on how to fix this , i was trying for hours to uninstall a program under device management called Microsoft ACPI- Compliant Conntrol Method Battery, because it was said that uninstalling this would help the system charge again. but after countless hours, i found that the program reinstalls itself and i am left with a laptop that just wont charge. my laptop says 0% (plugged in, not charging) and i really need this to work for the upcoming school year. i dont know what else to do! whenever i disconnect the wire the system completely shuts down and if i dont fix this problem ill just have to get rid of my Lenovo G550, which i absolutely LOVE! please, anyone help me! do i need to install a new version of windows? do i need to uninstall something? or is my laptop absolutely done for?
please, please, please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi Chernandez51,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
From your observation, it seems like the battery was fully discharged after not being for a long time (batteries degrade overtime due to age, heat, and usage).
What you can try is to charge the battery for an hour or two while the computer is off then observe the status light indicators.
- Link to picture
If the battery still doesn't take a charge then the battery might have gone faulty and needs a replacement.
For best compatibility, I recommend you use a Lenovo approved AC adapter and charger. You can buy one from the lenovo spare parts website (www.lenovospareparts.com) or you can buy online (eg. Amazon, Ebay, etc.) but ensure that there's a Lenovo FRU part number on the item..

Mobile not covered under warranty for hairline INTERNAL crack appearing without fall or any impact

Job No. W115041604910
I own a Sony Xperia Z1 compact mobile, which I purchased on 29th July, 2014, and around 11th April, 2015, I started to face touch screen problem in the middle region of my mobile. I was playing games on my phone when this issue cropped up.
The issue was very strange as at times the phone would start typing on its own on security pin screen. This lead to all my data being erased!
Later, I noticed that the lower part of the front screen of my mobile had a hairline crack - this was strange as my phone did not have any fall or any impact that would result in an INTERNAL hairline crack with no impact on the exterior of the screen.
I took my mobile to the authorized Sony service center in Koramanagala (Vigneshwar Services) on 16th April, 2015 and on 23th April, 2015 I was provided an estimated bill of Rs. 6000/-.
When I escalated the case by writing to "[email protected]", after multiple call and email exchanges, I was provided the "management" response on the Sony letter head stating that "the display was broken and needs to be replaced for satisfactory working of the set and the service estimate for the faulty part is Rs. 6007/-."
I declined to approve the amount for my repair, as my phone is within the warranty period.
Please go through the spec of Sony Xperia Z1 Compact on the below website, where it clearly says that the display is shatterproof;
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z1_compact-5753.php
Firstly, since the Spec claims that the glass is shatterproof, the crack on my mobile does not void the warranty.
Secondly, since the hairline crack on my mobile has appeared under "mysterious" circumstances and not a result of any fall or human error on my part, I decline paying any repair cost for my mobile. Also, this is an INTERNAL crack only, which will not appear due to a fall.
Thirdly, I should not be penalized for the faulty design issue for this model of Sony mobile.
At one point I would patronize with brand Sony, but sorry to say that is no longer true due to the trauma in dealing with Sony Service Center and Bangalore Regional Office.

I have already contacted the local Service Center and they are adamant on saying that I need to pay for the replacement of the front glass.
My question;
1. I have repeatedly told that my handset has an INTERNAL crack, which has appeared without any fall or impact. I believe that it is a design fault for which I SHOULD NOT be penalized.
To support my words, I find that similar issues have been reported for the same model across the globe;
http://conversation.which.co.uk/technology/sony-xperia-z-cracking-phone-screen-replacement-repair-wa...
Mine is not the only case wherein such cracks have developed. In UK, Sony has already confirmed this issue and agreed to replace the faulty units free of cost. Please read the link below and watch the video as well.
http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/05/30/bbcs-watchdog-investigates-xperia-z1-cracking-screen-issue-sony...
If in UK, this issue has been owned up by Sony company, should the same not be done in India, as ultimately it is Sony and region should not be a bar for taking such decisions especially in case of design flaws.

Help pls i cant run game on my beloved lenovo G550

how can i upgrade the shared video memory and dedicated memory from 32mb to 128mb.pls help.it is annoying

hi lheickan04,
If you have the Lenovo G550 with the onboard Intel GMA X4500 then graphcis memory allocation can only be done under the BIOS (this feature can usually can be found under Advanced or Configuration Tab). If this feature doesn't exist under BIOS and a game was run, the OS automatically allocates the max memory that the system can allocate by using Intel(R) Dynamic Video Memory Technology and cannot be adjusted manually.
See this similar post by an intel representative for more info.
Hope this helps

Lenovo G550 - how can I run three monitors

I've just bought a Lenovo G550 and am running Windows XP Pro on it. So far so good. I'm quite happy with it as I think it represents good value for the money.
I have been able to run two external monitors on my G550 laptop - using the VGA port and the HDMI port. But I can't get my laptop monitor to work to make it a third monitor. Has anyone had any success with this and if so how did you do it.
Thank you.

Your active window areas would be on the order of 900x500 pixels, assuming one of the plentiful 1920x1080 monitors.
Your other option would be two additional PCIe video cards. From page 64 of your user guide, note the following:

With any luck at all, our far eastern friend will be rising shortly and can provide a more definitive answer.
