  • Ubuntu 9.10 and Lenovo G550 problem

    Hello,
    I have one Lenovo G550 recently purchased. I've tried to install Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10, but both OS wouldn't boot. I'm not sure where the problem lies, as I'm Linux newbie and all I get is a dark screen.
    I haven't tried to install it into a partition (because I'm afraid to lose the "one key recovery" software), but I've tried to install it via Wubi and also tried to run its live versions. All of them ends the same way: the LCD is turned on, but shows no image. I've tried to access the terminal (by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1), but nothing happens...
    Do anyone have some idea about what is happening?!
    Thank you.
    Edit: I re-tested version 9.04 with no-acpi and it worked fine.

    Hi
    Tries with Ubuntu 9.04, this works well.
    same thing happened to me. greetings

  • Lenovo G550 problem HDMI - pc overheats

I used another HDMI cable, but the problem persist. The problem occurs with Win 7 and also with Win 8. I have installed the latest version of NVIDIA drivers (306.97). how I can fix it?

    Hi
    Welcome to the community.
    Laptop gets overheated and then turns off automatically so I would suggest you to please update the Bios from the below mentioned web link.

  • Lenovo G550 problem during games and warranty

    Hello,
    I have lenovo G550, it has G210m graphics card with 512Mb memory.I bought it on 5-jan-2010.
    From last 2-3 months my laptop suddenly switches off when i play games(after 5-10 min).I thought this was due to dust and overheating so I get it checked on the lenovo service centre, but overheating or dust is not the issue.
    1.Is there any chance that graphics card has some problem..if not what could be the issue??
    2.I got one year warranty.Can i extend my warranty and how much i have to pay for 1 or 2 year warranty..??
    Will the warranty covers all parts..??
    personal information has been removed for your own security

    first of all, 3000 serie laptops are not designed for games. you should've bought ideapad serie laptops instead of.
    but it seems you have some issue with graphic adapter. can you download any application to check temperature?
    you can extend your warranty, better to contact lenovo via mail. lenovo will respond your questions about warranty costs.
    ( make sure you apply before your current warranty expires )

    have you tried to install drivers on safe mode or manually?
    after you locate the .inf file for the driver that you want to install, manually install the new driver. to do this, follow these steps:
    - click start, right-click computer, and then click properties.in the tasks pane, click device manager.
    - if you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click continue.
    - in device manager, locate the device for which you want to install the driver.
    note to display hidden devices, click show hidden devices on the view menu.
    - right-click the device, and then click update driver software.
    - click browse my computer for driver software, click let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer, and then click have disk.
    - in the install from disk dialog box, click browse, locate an .inf file for the device driver that you want to install, and then click open.
    - follow the steps in the update driver software devicename dialog box to update the driver

  • 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?

    Could be a problem with the Lenovo ReadyConn-software, as described here:

  • Lenovo G550 Service Partition problem

    Hello,
    I've bought Lenovo G550 (without OS) and by mistake deleted my Service Partition, which contains files for OneKey recovery utility. I've searched forum, but hasn't found anything exact.
    As I've searched, I've found out few things:
    - If I change any partition size, OneKey is no longer working
    - Only service support can fix this problem, in some countries I've gotta pay
    I'd like to ask you for help. If there is any chance to DIY (do it yourself), just by downloading needed files and creating new partitions with required space.
    I'd really appreciate if someone was there to assist, or just providing some more information about this problem.
    Sorry for my English.
    Thanks a lot !

    there are about 113 backup wsi file, the one with number 34 seems damaged. for factory backups there's another issue with it. did you make any changes on volumes? cause if you did, one key recover and one key recover button will stop working.
    in normal circumstances, eisa part is not visible. i'm not sure if it works if you copy files to usb.
    if windows vista installed, run one-key recover 6.0.
    already got backups, skip "back up" otherwise click that.
    select full backup, quick compression and next >
    choose the path or leave it default and next >
    and start.
    after back up ends, restart the application one-key recover 6.0
    click "create recovery disc" and next >
    select the backup you have and next>
    this screen will tell you how much cd or dvd you need, min 2 dvd or 8cd, max 7 dvd or 28 cd. and next>
    insert the blank cds or dvds into driver and wait until done.
    you may need the system image, you can lose your back-up cd, or cds may not working after a while, so , i still recommend that you keep the original copy or more than one backup.
    size of recovery cd depens on how much size of disk space you use. its up 2-7 dvd or 4-28 cd.

  • 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.

  • 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!

    it could be because of you re-partitioned the volume. warranty may cover the issue if you have valid one ( international warranty - iws - )
