Lenovo g580 2689 windows 8.1

Hi when are lenovo going to update the drivers for lenovo g580 2689 for windows 8.1 because they have not been updated since december 2012 and i only brought the laptop last year. and the audio driver need updated because it is not compatible with windows 8.1 i had to find the driver that is made for someone elses computer type.

I tried updating my G580 yesterday to Win 8.1 (so that I can then get to Win 10) The upgrade seemed to go OK until it restarted and then as the desktop loaded the screen started flashing. it then became stuck in a loop with it flashing faster and faster. I am guessing there is some driver or config conflict? Has anyone come across this and if so how do I solve it. I have updated the Intel graphics drivers already thanks

Bright spot on Lenovo G580(2689) screen

I have Lenovo G580(2689). It was bought about 8 months ago. recently i found that there is a small bright spot at the lower righy part of the screen. What could be the reason and How to get rid of that? I have 4 months warranty due. Plz help me.

hi firozmkhatri,
Usually, bright spots on the LCD screen may have caused by a hard object pressing at the back part of the LCD screen (same thing when you press and hold on the lcd panel using your fingertip) or an object in between the LCD and keyboard when the lid is closed.
In some rare cases, it may have caused by a bright light concentrating on lcd panel (this could happen if you leave the unit open in front of a window where sunlight is concentrated) or it could also be that the screws are too tight on the LCD assembly that's causing the backlight to bleed.
Although you can still use the computer normally, the bright spot may increase overtime. I recommend you contact lenovo to report the issue and how to go about fixing the bright spots.
Hope this helps.

Limited WiFi on Lenovo G580

Good morning. I work for a school district and we let students bring in their own devices. I have a student that has a Lenovo G580 running Windows 8 that can't get connected to our WiFi. We have attempted to connect to both our Guest Network (that is open and has no password) and a password protected network, and both show limited connectivity and give IP addresses of 169.x.x.x. She can connect fine at home or other locations, just not at school. Our network is fine because we have hundreds of other devices connected to it and working. I have reset her network adapter, followed the Windows 8 troubleshooting steps, and run an ipconfig release and renew (which did give me a valid IP one time, but I still couldn't get online. Every time I've tried it since has timed out on the renew). I am leery to try any updating of the network adapter since it's her personal machine and, as I said, works fine at home. Other than that, does anyone have any ideas on why she wouldn't be able to connect here? Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

With an IP address starting with 169, it means that her computer is not connecting with your router at all, not even on a limited basis. There are several things that could be causing the problem, but the easiest way is if you can run ipconfig on her machine.
Open a command prompt (all programs > Accessories > Command Prompt) and type in
Ipconfig /all > ipconfig.txt and then hit enter. Then type in ipconfig.txt to open notepad with the log. Copy it and paste it in to your next response.
But it sounds like she has her computer setup with a static IP address and because of that cannot renew the lease on the IP Address so it is reported as a 169 address. Go into the network and sharing center and click on Setup a new connection or network. Then just follow the instructions. .

Lenovo g580 2189 driver install problem

I have a lenovo g580 with windows 8
when i try to install drivers i get some errors,any driver with other error:
smart audio hd with dolby- failure with non reason'
tuchpad ealn....-"ask for dspint package"
i download all the drivers from lenovo official web and i have energy mangement for windows 8
one more problem is in "fn" function,i dont see any fn function in the screen (no wifi,bluetooth,tuchpad,camera....)
only music. when i touch fn+f5 to turn off/on wifi the system shows on "airplane mode".
thanks

finally did it!!!! i had the same problem and now it works!
you first install the driver, and will tell no driver found ..., then go in C:\drivers\Bluetooth Driver (CyberTan, Liteon)\Broadcom\Win64 and execute Inst.exe and let it install all what it needs, don't press anything. if it still not works try install the same exe after activating bt with fn+f5.
win64 is for the one who have 64bit and I think that win32 will work for the one who have 32bit.
le: I have win7, i think it works the same for win8.. try it..
le2: and something else, I disabled UEFI from bios. I don't know if this is important, but it works for me with UEFI disabled.

Lenovo Wireless Device Settings Window is missing, G580 (20150) Windows 8.1

Since upgrading to 8.1 I have been unable to access the window to toggle wireless and bluetooth on and off.
I reinstalled LEM and the airplane function returned, but not the window.
Wireless works after I removed the Microsoft driver. I don't have a bluetooth device to test that function.
I just tried to install the 8.1 64 bit Bradcom Bluetooth driver and it would not install.
Bluetooth isn't listed in Device Manager.
I just found this information, but the link to the older version doesn't work.
I may just by an Intel Network 7260.HMWG.R

Turn on the Systen and Right away start hitting F2 to load the BIOS Utility
          Inside BIOS hit F9 then Enter for Yes to load defaults

I have the same problem. G580, model 20150. I clean installed W 8.1, deactivating UEFI, but the Bluetooth device isn't discovered. I installed the appropriate driver, but the issue remains. I believe it's a driver issue. How can we contact Lenovo to tell our problem? They don't provide an e-mail adress, unfortunately... I'm wondering why?
EDIT: by reading the post #3 on this thread, by Solid_Cruver, I uninstalled Lenovo Energy Management for W8.1 x64 and installed older version as suggested. Then pressed Fn+F5 as I used to do in Win 7, activated BT, reinstalled appropriate driver and... Voila!, I have functional BT! Yupi!!!
Thank you very much, Solid_Cruver! Good solution!

Error related to EFI system..unable to install windows 7 64-bit on lenovo g580..

Hi,
I have Lenovo g580 which had DOS preinstalled in it {i5, 500GB, 4GB} and initially I had installed Win 7 32-bit on it. At that time, it gave some problem while rebooting 1st time, but i ran repair windows option and everything ran smoothly.
But the problem came when I tried to install windows 7 64-bit on the laptop using a DVD, no matter which drive I select, it does not allow me to go ahead. When I checked the details, I got the error message which is attached here.
Link to image
There is no disk controller option in BIOS, nor is there anything related tto UEFI systems.
i did r&d on uefi systems, but i want to be sure of everything before i go ahead with anything.
Any help would be appreciated.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for no help guyz!
but i found a way..so for anybody else out there..here is the solution..
When installing at the partition screen hit Shift+F10.
At the prompt type diskpart and press Enter.
Type list disk (Not the number of the disk you want to use)
Type select disk X where is X is the number of the disk you want to use.
Type clean. This will erase all the data on your system.
Type convert gpt
Now reboot the system with the DVD/USB, and you will see only Unallocated Space. Use that to install the new windows.
Be warned though, this will clear out the partition table on the drive; make sure you have a backup before attempting this if you have important data

Lenovo G580 - WIndows 8 - Resizing OS partition & problems with system recovery

Hello Everybody,
Just bought a Lenovo G580 notebook with pre installed Windows 8 (500gb harddisk, 4 gb RAM, Intel B960).I have been using Easeus partition manager with Windows 7 & its been working very well.So I wanted to partition my new HDD with it.Upon creating the a new 100gb partition (most importantly from OS partition that was about 428 gb) a very strange thing happened.The Refresh/Reset functions of WIndows 8 stopped working saying required recovery files are missing, also Lenovo One Key recovery program does not work with the message that required service partition is currently unavailable.At the same time, apparently partition called Windows recovery (1000 mb, hidden) still exists.One more peculiar thing I noticed & that is there is a new 1mb unallocated partition before the Windows recovery partition.While partitioning I did not receive any message about deleting of any data.One last piece of information (not sure if relevant) is before doing partition I had created a system image that I am unable to restore, Windows 8 repair function recognises the image bit is unable to restore it.
Any ideas how to restore the System Recovery functions or how to restore the system image.
Thanks
Petr

This guide is not System Specific and not all of the option may show inside a certain BIOS version, Just Make sure that all optionlisted here that is available on a Lenovo BIOS is set as follows.
Ideacentre BIOS Menu is F1 and F2 for Ideapad.
Under Exit TAB
OS Optimization
OS Optimized
For the two options above:  Should be set as Disabled or Other OS
Under Boot Tab / Start up Tab
Boot Mode Should be set to Legacy
Boot Priority Should be set to Legacy First
UEFI Boot should be set to Disabled
Quick Boot should be Disabled
StartUp device Menu prompt should be Disabled
Quick Boot Should be Disabled
USB Boot should be Enabled
Secure boot Should be Disabled
Once everything are Set, make sure to save all changed by hitting F10 and Enter for Yes
    After Hitting enter It will Restart and You will have to keep on tapping F12
       this should pull up the Boot Menu letting you select where to boot.
If not succesful pulling up the boot menu after the restart, Power Drain the System and turn it on while hitting F12 Again.

Lenovo G580 Windows 8.1 WiFi

Hi there,
I got a Lenovo G580 recently and it works all fine. Except the WiFi which is down now for a day or so. To be precise I couldn't enter the Internet after I did the Update to Windows 8.1. I deleted the Network via "cmd" and connected again but I still don't have Internet. Windows says I should restart the Router etc. and I did but it still doesn't work plus my smartphone is in the same Network and works just perfect.
Any thoughts on what I could do to solve this mess?
And I don't have any options after a rightclick on the WiFi-Network.
Appreciate all help I can get, Thanks
Robert
Hi,
ich hab mir letztens fürs Studium einen Lenovo G580 gekauft und alles klappt wunderbar, bis auf die WLAN-Verbindung, die bis zu meinem Update auf Windows 8.1 von Windows 8 auch problemlos geklappt hat. Jetzt hat er aber ständig ein Problem mit dem Standardgateway o.Ä. und schlägt mir jedesmal vor den Router neuzustarten. Hab ich natürlich auch schon paarmal gemacht, bringt leider nichts. Genauso erfolglos war ich als ich in der Eingabeaufforderung die Verbindung gelöscht und dann wieder verbunden habe. Kein Internet nur die begrenzte Netzwerkverbindung. Und wie es immer vorgeschlagen wird mit Rechtsklick auf die Verbindung zu klicken geht leider auch nicht.
Hat jemand eine Idee woran es liegt bzw liegen könnte?
Ich kann dringend Hilfe gebrauchen und bin dankbar für jeden Vorschlag!
Gruß,
Robert

Lenovo G580(20157) won't shut down [Windows 7]

Problem:
I have a Lenovo G580(20157) with Windows 7(64-bit),
My BIOS version is 62CN40WW (Phoenix MoBo), and I have a problem with my laptop even though it works and boots up fine it won't shutdown!!
Troubleshooting:
I have tried the following:
1.Do Hardware test - No errors.
2.Reflash BIOS. - Still won't shutdown
3.Do a clean boot. (I believe it is a BIOS issue but I still did it anyways...)
4.Used the boot utility provide at your website but it still doesn't shutdown even in Linux, it is stuck at shutdown message (Arch Linux/Open Suse)
5.Disabled UEFI
And all other quick hacks like pressing shift and shutdown, disable BIOS options like redoing steps 1-5 etc, etc................
P.S:I have a dual-boot system (Windows + nix) with Legacy boot enabled if it matters. Thanks!

hi ArchKudo,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Can you consider doing the following:
1. Turn off the machine and remove the HDD
- Video Disassembly Guide (see FRU Videos)
2. Boot from a live Windows or Linux disc/usb (see this guide for Ubuntu and select Try Ubuntu)
3. After booting from a live disc/usb, see if you can shutdown the machine.
If the computer turns off properly, try to put the HDD back in place and consider running another scan on the HDD using HD Tune.
- http://www.hdtune.com/faq_1.html
If you get a warning or any errors on the Health Tab / Error Scan Tab then it's likely that you have a failing HDD and
you may need to contact lenovo for warranty service or replace the entire HDD.
