Lenovo Helix - SD Card Slot?

Has anyone heard if the Helix will have a SD or microSD card slot? If it doesnt, that is a real killer for me.

The one I held at CES did not, and I was told that it came down to the slot or more cooling. More cooling won out.

Hi, I have a Lenovo 3000 n100 that does not recognize the dvd player or SD memory card slot

Hi, this is my first time on here so forgive me if I don't give all of the right information, I will try. Until about a month ago my dvd player and SD memory card slot worked fine. I was attempting to download pictures from the SD memory card to my laptop when for some reason it not only stopped reading the memory card but it erased it also. I tried to watch a movie on it to see if it was working and it is not. I checked the computer to see if I could manually turn it on and neither the memory card slot or the dvd player show up at all. Is this a driver problem and if so how do I fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Linda

I have struggled with the same thing, until about 1/2 hour ago....And its real simple. I'm not a techy but here's what worked for me.
Since Lenovo doesn't send boot discs you are going to have to create one. I went to http://www.ntfs.com/boot-disk.htm and downloaded the trial version - good for 10 days. If this works for you then you should buy the software (that goes w/o saying).
Once loaded to your machine you will need to create a DVD (CD may work as well, all I had was DVD's handy). Just lauch the application and it will do this for you.
Then you need to insert the DVD/CD into your player and restart the machine.
Once lauched the Software will lauch the Active@ Boot Disk menu. One of the options (going from memory here) was to give you a windows prompt. I simply typed c: and took me to the C drive. Then I typed chkdsk /f c:
I was then told my c drive was locked (sounds familiar I bet) but this time I was given the option to dismount the volume which I did. And it finally ran chkdsk, found and corrected all errors.
I rebooted my machine, launched diskeeper, and guess what - I can finally defrag my harddrive now which is sorely overdue!
Good luck. I hope this works for you!

@Sarahmarie
You can try out this process and see if it helps:
Troubleshooting Audio Problems with External Speakers, Headphones, and HDMI Sound Devices
I assume that you probably already have seen this, but for your convenience, here is the support page for your notebook: HP 15-r029wm Notebook PC Drivers
The newest audio driver I could find there for your notebook has these parameters:
Released: 2014-02-21
Version 6.0.1.7156
Realtek High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver
The version number matches the one you gave but the date is different.
You can always try the Realtek site, for their drivers, however, they are not going to be customized to match the components in your notebook, but you could try and then go back if it does not help.
Realtek Downloads
Another thing you can look at from the Microsoft support website:

Swap PC Card Slot on T61P?

When I ordered my T61p I made the mistake of ordering the wrong option for the PC Card Slot. I accidentally ordered the Smart Card Slot instead of the Media Card Slot.
1. Is this swappable by me?
2. If yes, does anyone know the part # for the Media Card Slot and/or is it multiple parts?
I got a PCI-e 3G Card and I can't use it until I remedy this.
If a Lenovo Moderator knows the answer or anyone else in this forum I sure would be grateful for the help!
Cheers,
JIM

If you go to this Lenovo webpage, download your 14.1" or 15.4" Hardware Maintenance Manual.
In there you should find the proper part number.

Lenovo Helix - Issue outputting to external monitor

I received my Lenovo Helix today and am having issues outputting to an external monitor. During initial setup output was working but with the occasional flicker, so I performed all Windows Updates and Lenovo updates, however now it will not output to external at all. Monitor is a Dell 2740L 1080p monitor using a Kanex MDPHD10ft mini displayport to HDMI cable. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Lenovo Helix i7 256gb... wish I bought a Surface Pro for better support...

Has anyone found a solution for this issue yet? I was unable to get the Intel HD Graphics driver 9.17.10.2932 or 9.17.10.3071 to work. Sent the computer in to Lenovo; they have replaced the motherboard three times. I'm surprised that each time they sent the computer back, they didn't check to see if they had actually fixed the output problem.
It appears that the problem lies in the Intel HD Graphics 4000 driver (see: http://www.eightforums.com/graphic-cards/7743-those-troubled-hdmi-sync-issues-intel-hd-3000-4000-etc... ).
For a company with a long legacy of sucess, Lenovo has sure disappointed this time. It's going to be hard to recommend their computers to anyone if they can't even acknowledge that they put a nonfunctioning port on their laptops.

What are these keys for? + SIM card slot?

Hello,
I just bought a T410i and am wondering what the keys next to the arrow buttons are? They look like "Files".
Also has anyone used the SIM card slot under the battery?
Will it read cell phone SIM cards?
Thanks,

Go to Solution.

My experience is that the reception of the GPS is very poor (say compared to a typical phone GPS or other tablets), and if you are in sub-optimal conditions it will pretty much never get a fix and never get past initialising. e.g. indoors it is essentially useless.
Outdoors with a clear view of the sky it will get a fix, but even then it is slow and temperamental.
I'd be surprised if you could use it as a live navigation device .e.g in a car.

Thanx

Hi
Welcome To Lenovo Community
We are really sorry to hear about the issue you are facing,
3G card comes as optional accessory to find out if 3G WWAN UMTS card pre-installed
Take a look inside your S10-3 that’s easy.
Remove the adaptor and battery... Turn around your S10-3, open the bottom lid, ..See an empty place where the 3G card will fit...Factory pre-assembled is antenna , minipci-e card slot and SIM-Card...No 3G card itself..
You have to buy a 3G card: Lenovo Qualcomm Gobi 2000 or Lenovo Sony Ericsson F3507G will work

USSD dialing on lenovo with sim card enabled

I have Lenovo T540p running Windows 8 64 bit. I have installed Mobile Broadband and I am able to browse the internet with the sim card. But the problem is that there is no sevice to access and dial the sim card from the desktop. I can't check balance or load airtime from the desktop. Is there a driver that I need to download so that I can be able to do USSD comand and load airtime? I don't have to remove sim card, load airtime and replace again everytime.

hi omidboxter,
For using the SIM card (selected models), you will need to:
1. Make sure the Wide Wireless Lan Driver is installed (see device manager)
2. Make sure the SIM card is activated and you're within the network coverage area
3. Use your carrier''ss 3G/4G mobile broadband software to connect (i.e., VZAccess Manager for Verizon, Sprint SmartView for Sprint, etc.)
For removing the SIM card:
1. You need to push the SIM card in to eject it. If the SIM card is not ejecting and just keeps being pushed inside, the SIM card slot's spring maybe damged (inserting the SIM card in the wrong direction can damage the SIM card slot), If this happens, you will need to use a Tweezer to take it out.
Hope this helps.

Lenovo A328 Sim card size

Hi,
I just bought a Lenovo A328 for my father, and he complains to me that the sim card is doen't fit the card slot.
So I am wondering what is the Lenovo A328 sim card size? Is it a mini sim card or regular sim?
As I check on the internet, the lenovo official say it is regular size sim card, but my father sim card is regular sim but still can't insert the sim.
And when I check from other source, some stated that it is a mini sim card slot.
This make me confused, can somebody please tell me what is the card slot size for this model?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi mytc
The Lenovo A328 has 2 Mini SIM card slots.We(in general) refer to the Mini SIM card as the normal/regular SIM card.
I still remember my father's first Motorola cell phone....You had to insert the whole card(credit card size) inside.That was the ''regular'' back then.
I hope you don't take this the wrong way but maybe your father is inserting the SIM card backwards.It happens sometimes.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Card slot does not work after update (14/10/2011)

Card slot does not work after yesterday update (14/10/2011)! It works with my SD card month ago, but now it dosn't!!!
MacBook Pro 13 OS ver. 10.6.8

Thanks for your suggestion. I downloaded OnyX and ran the cleaning function. After restarting, I opened Help and once again the first screen appeared fine. But again most of the links did not work, though those under the "What's New" heading did work. I might add that I had previously tried a variety of suggestions posted in another thread, which included deleting from the caches folder in Home>Library several files such as com.apple.helpui and help.plist in the Preferences folder. (As noted in my previous post this evening, I also created another user but that also did not have any effect.) Any other ideas? Thanks

Lenovo Helix - On-Screen Keyboard with Bitlocker

Hi Community,
i've tried to install Bitlocker on my Lenovo Helix with Windows 8.1 Pro. As long as the dock is connected with the tablet, you can decrypt the harddisk with the right key. But if the tablet hasn't a dock or an external keyboard you'll only see the blue bitlocker-homescreen and can't do anything.
Another helix in my company works with bitlocker - so i know it can work.
i've tried the following things:
     - different Bios-Versions
     - install all drivers and additional software
     - set up a new Windows 8/ Windows 8.1 (Pro)
The on-screen keyboard works by adding a Bios-password.
Btw: The helix won't let me install Windows in UEFI-Mode..
Can somebody help me?

current, it runs on legacy boot - the uefi bootloader doesn't work for x86 Win8.1 (http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=SF13-T0008)
well, i have to install 32-Bit. The helix in Uefi-Mode only boots from the x64-Win8.1-DVD (or USB-Stick)...
