  • New Lenovo G570 Teething Issues

    Dear Lenovo-connected moderators, outriders and the like (Please note that in error I originally posted this to the other thread):
    I just bought in Europe a new Lenovo G570.  I have the following issues:
    Since I always resize the C: partition I have removed the possibility of using one-key restore.  It seems bizarre that Lenovo would force keeping the C: partition at its initial size.  Surely it would be possible to write the one-key software to work around repartitioning the HDD.  I did the resize of the C: partition immediately after purchase as part of my personal data and program installation and found out later about the requirement not to resize.  Moreover, as far as I can recall there was no D: partition already installed, which I might have been able to live with (I prefer multiple data partitions).  Any way to fix this problem?  For I restored the C: partition to its original size but that didn't help; I couldn't get the recovery DVD's made; the one-key button was non-functional.  What do I have to do to get the recovery features back?  For I see that for very similar products a fresh install of Win 7 causes all kinds of problems, and in the absence of recovery DVD's that's really the only other option.  I should point out that at the moment the computer is working; I'm just trying to do my preventative medicine for the day the computer crashes.
    Lenovo's model numbering is very confusing, as is the Lenovo habit of updating system specs on the fly.  My model name is 20079; my model number is CB01031166.  If I download the current specs for the model from the Lenovo site (just did) they don't agree with what I have.  Major differences are that my computer shipped with an Intel i5-2410M processor, a 640 GB HDD and with a separate ATI Graphics Card (Radeon Premium).  Thanks, but this leads to issues about driver updates when I search for downloads for my computer on the Lenovo site.  In particular, it's not clear to me whether I should be reflashing BIOS with the latest BIOS.  On the thread about serious issues with the Idea Pad Z570, I saw recommended the reflashing of the BIOS.  You might ask, well why would I go there?  Because the Lenovo site does not support searching on models that are not branded Think Pad or Idea Pad.  Mine's branded Essentials and it's just not recognized even in the automated search using the Internet Explorer.  So searching for Lenovo G570, that's what a Google search turned up and the specs of the Z570 are extremely similar to the G570 I have.  So if someone could tell me how to find the driver updates for my model, I'd be very grateful.
    I see in the Z570 thread that if the CD is not the first boot priority then the WiFi doesn't work.  Does this also apply to my model?
    When I boot with an external Sata HDD attached (to see if BIOS will recognize it for boot purposes), the boot procedure freezes until I unplug the Sata HDD.  Of course the external HDD is plugged into the USB port.  This seems to be a problem with the BIOS, although admittedly I can't recall if the BIOS flash screen shows and it freezes after, or it freezes before it reaches the BIOS flash screen.
    I also see that the fan that's always running is actually a serious warranty issue.  I hadn't realized that it wasn't some quirk of my software.  So here we are with a serious warranty issue.  Update: 23/2/12.  This does not seem to be a real problem on my machine at the moment.  While the fan works more than I would have expected, it will shut down eventually once the computer is not doing anything.  Possibly the actual software I'm using on the machine is causing heavy fan use.  This is something of a relief.
    According to the specs the computer ships with a USB/eSata port.  And indeed there is a port in the right place that is different from the other USB ports.  The port of course works with USB.  However, its shape is not the usual eSatap shape.  In particular it doesn't have the cutouts left and right for the usual eSatap jack.  Instead it has a cutout at the top.  But for the life of me and my dealer, there is nowhere on the Net where we can find an image of the Lenovo USB/eSata port and certainly nowhere where I can buy a jack/adaptor/external SATA disk that fits the Lenovo USB/eSata port.
    Here's an image of my USB/eSata port.  It's the middle of the three ports.  Of course, on the left is something for TV that is irrelevant, and to the right is a normal USB port.  How do I find anything to work with it at eSata speeds?
    Thanks very much.

    Thanks for replying ExJamJus.
    I will ask the local reseller, but I suspect they don't know more than anyone else.  The problem is that the specs are very fluid on these units--after all, I have a ATI Radeon graphics card whereas the specs typically say that its an integrated (on-the-motherboard) Intel graphics card.  Some places, as other users have noted, they do spec it as having an eSata/USB port, but there's just no plug available with that shape with any specification.  My technician who sold me the computer thought that the only possibility was that the plug would be introduced later.  He'd never seen one and he takes computers apart and fixes them.
    As for the drivers, I installed all the drivers.  Nothing terrible happened except as follows:
    One of the ATI Radeon updates, for Hydravision I believe, comes to an end where kdbsync.exe can't start at boot time because Open.dll is missing.  You can follow up on the Internet.  The fix is to download Open.dll and put it in the proper folder in Program files.  It works now--or at least I don't get an error message at boot time.
    This is import for Lenovo: Lenovo energy management upgrade gave me the option to install on top of the old Lenovo energy management but it would require a reboot.  So I did it.  But what happened was that Lenovo energy management wouldn't start at boot time.  I tried repair, no deal.  So I had to completely uninstall Lenovo energy management and then do a fresh install.  It works now.  This is going to irritate people.  Bad for business.
    It's unclear in some of these cases just what driver is installed on the computer and it's not clear whether the driver installer programs are always coded to check whether the driver being installed is not older than the installed driver.  So it makes it a little chancy to download and install a driver that was issued not long before the manufacture date of the product.

  • Lenovo G570 essential - One Key Recovery issue

    Hello to everybody and congratulations for the forum. I have a Lenovo G570 notebook which is running the original version of Windows 7 that came installed with. Before I mention the problem I have to state that I have restructured the hard drive by using the program Acronis Disk Director. When I click the One Key Recovery application and choose the RECOVERY option I receive the follwing message.
    "The program cannot find the service partition. The service is currently unavalaible."
    After checking, I noticed a change in the Default recovery partition (the factory one) and the Windows installation partition. These partitions are not ACTIVE as before. What can I do in order to overcome this problem and achieve to restore my notebook to the factory default installation?
    Regards,
    LENOVO G570-20079
    INTEL CORE i3-2310M/4GB ram DDR3-1066MHz/HDD Toshiba 640GB MK6465GSX/VGA AMD Mobile Radeon HD 6370M/Atheros Wireless 9285/Atheros Ethernet Controller 8152/

    Hello Oust_alex,
    First the simple procedure to bring the system to factory setting by using the recovery disc if you have created before altering the partitions.
    If the recovery disc is not created then you must restore the partitions as previous and then check.
    Last option is to purchase the recovery disc from the service center.

  • Web Camera doesn't work on my Lenovo G570 laptop, Please Help?

    Well I recently bought a lenovo G570 laptop. The webcam worked fine for the first month. I don't really know when the camera stopped working but it seems that every software that uses a camera can detect the camera but when the video window pops up it is just plain white. I know the reason isn't because of the hot key FN+ESC because it works fine, I can disable and enable the camera. I read many threads with the same problem. I uninstalled and re-installed the drivers and easy capture but it does not solve my problem. Can someone please help?

    As I  understand the camera is not working.
    If the camera is getting activate by Fn+Esc key then it could be driver issue.
    You need to uninstall the camera software and other relates software.
    Update the BIOS and then install the camera drier
    Download the BIOS update for Windows 7 32bit from the mentioned below web link.

    Download the BIOS update for Windows 7 32bit from the mentioned below web link.

    Hi Asadkhan92,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    As per the query we understood that you are facing an issue with the keyboard in your Lenovo G570 laptop.
    As you have mentioned that the some keys are not working in your laptop, as you have also mentioned that the onscreen keyboard is working, please connect the external keyboard and check  for the issue, this is to confirm if the issue with the hardware or software.
    If the external keyboard works fine and if the keypad is not working then it’s a issue with the keypad of the laptop.  
    Please visit the nearest service centre for further details.
    Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.
    Hope this helps!

    I make a backup DVD with system by OKR (4DVD). Then by accident i DELETED my recovery partition. When i try to boot from these DVD i get error: "The program cannot restore the system partition because its structure is incorrect ,you may have to recreate the partition to continue".
    My partitions looks like this:
    C: New installation of Windows 7 enterprise trial
    D: Lenovo (default partition with drivers and backup)
    Hidden empty partition where recovery was.
    What should i do now?

    one key recover won't work when you delete the hidden partition. there is only one way to fix this issue that is shipping back to service to reset the hdd its default ( lenovo may charge you )

  • Ubuntu 11.10 for lenovo G570

    I have previosly used Ubuntu Linux for an year on my desktop and would like to switch to Ubuntu on laptop too. But I have some specific worried which I want to clarify before really stepping in it so I don't land on troubles.
    My Laptop details:
    Lenovo G570
    2nd Gen i5; 4GB DDR3 RAM; 1GB ATI Radeon Graphics; # I think Intel HD is also present, I found in system info in Win7.
    500 GB Hard Disk
    Bluetooth, Wifi, Cam
    15.6'' Screen
    Now my concerns are:
    When I install Ubuntu, doesn the "Fn" hot-keys work?
    I haven't got any Linux drivers with my laptop, so how do I install them so that the "Fn" key and other graphics settings can be maintained.
    I have AMD Catalyst centre on Win7, how do I got such softwares over Ubuntu
    I haven't got any linux tools of OneKey recovey for Linux. So, how do I install OneKey Recovey on Ubuntu; How do I create a special partition for OneKey recovery at the time of setup on Ubuntu.
    #If I have missed anything that has to be noted while switching to Ubuntu, please tell me 

    Can you please explain what do you mean? What problems are reported? I can't go and search for every single issues people are reporting. (sorry)
    Every hardware has it's own "personality", it doesn't mean that you will automatically have those issues too and it is different from distro to distro, depending on the version of kernel a specific distro is using.
    Too, I know that there are some solutions for the fan issue for Linux. But I do not know what problems are you referring to.
    I know it's up to you, but can you first try a copy of ubuntu in live mode? Than you can tell if you have those problems or not

  • Lenovo G570 Need Help

So I remove the had disk and connect it to my computer and I install successfully but when I connect the HD with Laptop "it boot up to starting windows then it crash with blue screen" and I don't have any backup or anything
    please tell me what to do

    hi samsfs01,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Community.
    If your cd/dvd drive is not working, the alternate way to install Windows 7 is by creating a bootable Windows 7 USB Flash Drive. - check here - http://tinyurl.com/q7m5v2 - for step by step guide A probable reason why you got a bluescreen from the post above is because it's trying to read the machine information where you installed Windows and when you put it on a different PC, the machine information got changed (this normally happens if the two machines are not identical).
    Hope this helps.

  • Lenovo g570 - problems after updating intel hd graphics

    Hello!
    I think i came across a small bug. Don't know for sure which software is to blame, but i think it's the Lenovo Energy Management's  fault. 
    I bought a lenovo g570, with intel integrated graphics driver. Installed w7 64 sp1, drivers from DVD. After a while windows update popuped with intel hd graphics new driver. After installing it, the brightness indicator (the thing that pops up when u change the brightness from the keyboard) got stuck at level 2 even if the display brightness was changing.
    After 2 days i changed my mind and installed w7 32 sp1  after finding out it was a bit pointless to have it these days when lots of programs are running on 32bits. The same thing happened on this windows. The brightness indicator got stuck.
    The mind**bleep** thing (or not) is that after reverting to the old graphics driver, everything was working ok and the brightness indicator got unstucked. 

    Same here in Lenovo G 470, I have tried three times installing and rollbacking, but the problem still remains same.
    Actually before updating graphic driver if you keep your brightness indicator at 'x' level, then after updation, it will always stuck at the 'x' level, although the brightness is changing.  
    But I think it is not a serious issue if everything else is working file, So you could keep your driver updated.

  • G570 BIOS Issue

    My Lenovo G570 is working fine one day.  When I try to use it a few days later, I receive a Windows boot error;
    File: \Boot\BCD
    Status: 0xc000000f
    Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.
    I thought "Oh great! Now I have to find my recovery disks!"... which I do have.  Problem is when I try to load the BIOS by restarting the laptop and pressing F2, keep getting the same Boot error.  The machine does not load the BIOS as I thought it would.  I'm not sure what to do from here.  I need access to the BIOS to change the boot order and have the machine read my recovery disk.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    hi poinsda,
    Welcome to the Community.
    Can you try the following:
    1. Insert your Recovery Discs and try pressing F12 on startup - this displays a boot manager where you can select a boot device (i.e. HDD, CD/DVD, etc.) - select CD/DVD to boot from the Recovery Disc.
    2. Turn off the machine and press the One Key Recovery button to trigger the built-in recovery feature on the HDD.
    Note:
    Loading the Recovery Discs or doing the One Key Recovery will wipe the machine and restore its factory settings
    Let me know your findings,

  • Lenovo G570 bios password

    I set a Supervisor Password and an User Password for a Lenovo G570 Laptop, running an INSYDEH20 BIOS. Later I decided to exclude the passwords, so I entered in Setup press F2 and I selected Clear Password (something like this). Now when I turn on my laptop the message "Enter Current Password" appears. I put my old password... "invalid password", just press Enter... "invalid password" . I didn't forget the password, I just wanted to remove the password and now I don't know what's happening. How should I do for this matter?

    The issue was solved. I was using the numpad and when I put the password I used the numbers in "regular keyboard". I didn't know it's difference to digit a 9, for example, using the numpad and the "regular keyboard".

  • G570 LCD Issue

    Hi everyone,
    I recently purchased a Lenovo G570 4334DDU laptop and I've been a little annoyed with the LCD.  It's almost as if there is a very thin mesh of lines through out the screen.  It's more noticable on white backgrounds and at times it makes images look sort of pixelated.  My old laptops never had such noticeable vertical lines.   Is this a defect in the lcd or are the screens for this laptop just really low end?
