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 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.

Yes 60GB would be enough.

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.

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 Wi-fi Problems

Just got a new Lenovo G550 (2852DU).
The Wi-fi seems to be pretty problematic. I'm having a WPA-PSK secured wifi at home.
It connects if I give username and password and immediately disconnects.
If I save the network and say - connect automatically, this connection disconnection cycle keeps on happening infinitely . I've tried updating the drivers. No go.
I tried using a unsecure network and it was fine. Is it that my broadcom WLAN chip doesn't like WPA-PSK password? It's freaking insane.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Problemo solved!!
I called up Lenovo customer care, they told the 'Lenovo ReadyConn' software that's pre-loaded is faulty.
I removed that and added my Wireless networks 'manually' and I'm good to go

Lenovo G550 Sound Card Problem

On my laptop G550 I am not able to record any sound. In all used programs the only input device to choose is the microphone. In the control panel I also canť display any other audio devices ( disconnected or disabled) so the only hardware I see is the mic and the stereo.
Can anybody help me how to fix this?

If you are trying to record what you hear / playing through your speakers for whatever reason Lenovo has seem to have left that feature out thinking no one needed it. There is several posts in here about that issue and per CLEO and MARK Lenovo is aware that users that create music need that feature and will look into adding that in future laptops. So that is must likely the issue. If I find a fix for my G555 I will let you know as it may work for you. (but I doubt it)

Lenovo G550 BIOS flash problem

Hi everybody,
I seem to have a problem with my notebook. I want to install the freshly released BIOS version on my notebook. Since I'm running an x64 Windows 7, it would seem I need the x64 BIOS. The problem appears when I start the installer: it gives me an error message with the text that "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Widows you are running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 or an x64 version of the program, and then contact your software publisher."
I'm pretty sure I'm running Windows 7 x64, so I don't really kno what the problem could be. Anyone met this error before or does anyone know what should I do?
If it's important somehow, here are my specs: Intel Core2Duo T6600 2.2 GHz, 4GB DDR3, 320GB HDD, nVidia G210M 512MB, Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
Thanks.

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:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Value-line/Lenovo-G550-Wi-fi-Problems/m-p/153935;jsessio...
Not sure if it applies to w7, but it could be worth a try...

G550 Power Button Problem

Recently I received a Lenovo G550 but the problem is that clicking the power button does nothing. Holding it for a while does nothing either. I managed to turn on the computer when I accidentally clicked the OneKey button and rebooted from there but it is inconvenient to do this every time. Once on, I click the power button which, according to the "when I press the power button," should put the computer to sleep mode but instead does nothing. Holding the power button does nothing either. What can I do to fix this problem?

I bought G550 last jan 2010 and ran out of warranty last month. my laptop is not powering at all.
it happened after i replaced my broken keyboard with a new one.
when i removed the multimedia panel (that has power button, audio controls, onekey rescue button), it looked like i damaged the ribbon cable that goes from the back of this panel into the motherboard (which is under the
keyboard).
the pins on the ribbon cable were distorted and couple of times it powered and after that i could never power it on.
unfortunately i lost the cable, so am not sure of the make of this cable. i am looking for a replacement part
Is there any way to get the parts list for g550?
your help is much appreciated.
i believe this is the part. can anybody confirm?

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.
check your warranty from the link below:

if it doesn't work, you can use this software to find your serial.

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 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 )

Cannot Access the Service Partition after installing Lenovo Driver and Application Installation

I recently upgraded my Lenovo 3000 H210, M/T 5355-2NU from Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit) to Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) with the media received through the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Fulfillment Program.
I installed the 64-bit version of the Common Components Installation v1.0.0.8 and restarted the computer and then installed the 64-bit version of the Lenovo Driver and Application Installation program, v5.1.0.0900. After
restarting the computer, I receive a message box stating "Cannot access the Service Partition". If I click on
Lenovo Driver and Application Installation on the Start Menu, I receive an error that the installation has not
completed. Restart to complete the installation. If I restart the computer, I am back to the first error.
Any idea how to resolve this situation?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am having the exact same problem. It's driving me nuts. I also downloaded and attempted to reinstall the factory software from Lenovo's site. It installs but will not launch, giving me the following error message: "This software is for intallation on a Lenovo computer." Or words to that effect.
Hopefully someone knows the answer. Tried tech support twice. Ugh... Thanks in advance.

How to create a service partition like the original from lenovo

hey their, i have installed windows 7 on my x200. afore i have cleaned up all partiton incl. the service partition. now my question: how can i create a service partiton with the same behaviors like the original one (access the partition via the thinkvantage button and so on). i hope, someone can help me.

You need a set of recovery disks to re-create the partition.
If you haven't burned them when you first got the machine, they can be purchased directly from Lenovo or other online sources.
Hope this helps.
