Lenovo Ideapad U430 Touch - Strange click noise at turn on

Hi guyz,
i have ordered a Lenovo Ideapad U430 Touch 1 week ago and since the first start there is a strange noise -
If you press the power button it makes a short click noise - sounds like an electrical contact is not ok.
What do you mean should i send it back and get a new one?
BR,

Lenovo laptop u430 Touch - strange UEFI boot problem

Hello!! I'm Javier from Argentina. I'm having a strange boot problem with my Lenovo u430 Touch and Windows 8.1 x64 configured in UEFI.
When I power on o restart the laptop It gets stuck at lenovo logo screen and i have to press a key from the keyboard to continue booting on Windows 8.1 x64. This is really annoying.
No hdd activity.Trying to solve the problem I reset bios to default settings, I updated to last bios available and restored Windows 8.1 with OKR but i have no luck.
To solve this problem I configured the laptop to use legacy support, but I would that someone can help me to use again my laptop with UEFI bios settings.
Thanks, I will appreciate your help.Javier

PXE-E61: Media Test failure, Check cable in my Lenovo Ideapad U430 Touch.

I have bought my U430 Touch last June, 2014. Recently i am getting the "PXE-E61: Media Test failure, Check cable" error while switching on my laptop. And it does not precede any farther for booting. I have tried disabling the “Network Boot” as well but no luck. It always stuck on the same black screen error. Can you please help me on this issue.

if that one dont help other have said reinstalling windows helped as the next thing was a driver issue causing it to fail the check
does your device have a nova button (next to power button very small button use this to turn on the device) if you do use this and there is a factory restore there

Repair Loop after Update, Lenovo Ideapad U430 Touch

I restarted my computer this morning and it installed an update. When it rebooted, it said there was a problem and began a diagnosing/repair loop. It came up with several options, including restarting the computer (which I did multiple times) and resetting/repairing startup. Nothing worked and it just kept looping back to the original screen. I do not want to reset my entire computer and I do not remember when (or if) I ever saved a backup copy. I just purchased this computer in February and I desperately need it for school. Please let me know what I can do!

hi Shreenith,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Try Turning on the Computer and wait till you see any sign of Windows loading, this kicks in right after the Lenovo Screen.
Hold the Power button down to force shutdown the system.
Repeat this step until you get a Recovery environment.
You could get this Screen and access the System Restore.
If that did not help you can go for Refresh PC
Let me know your findings
Cheers!

Ideapad U430 Touch - Wlan Verbindung wird ständig unterbrochen

Hallo Zusammen,Ich habe gestern das U430 Touchpad zugeschicht bekommen.Und seit dem ersten Hochfahren habe ich imense Probleme mit der Wlan Verbindung. Nach erflogreicher Verbindung mit meinem Router werde ich nach spätestens 1-2 min immer und immer wieder rausgeworfen.

WiDi on IdeaPad U430 touch

Hello,
I haven't get an answer from the lenovo support yet, but I am interested in the IdeaPad U430 touch and want to know, if there is WirelessDisplay on board.
Thanx

I have an IdeaPad U430 Touch and I am using WIDi on it. You should make sure you update to Windows 8.1 (if it is not preloaded) and run the Windows update to get the latest graphics and WiFi drivers. I am using it with ActionTec ScreenBeam Pro Wireless Display adapter and the Netgear PTV3000.
The Intel website below has a tool that checks if your system has the latest drivers and updates it:

Ideapad U430 Touch - Verarbeitungsmängel - Reparaturdauer nicht tragbar

Hallo zusammen,
bisher war ich beruflich und privat immer sehr zufrieden mit Lenovo.
BISHER. Denn nachdem ich mir im November vergangenen Jahres ein Ideapad U430 Touch zugelegt habe, welches exorbitante Verarbeitungsmängel (Große Spaltmaße, verzogenes Gehäuse, Kippeln beim Tippen usw.) hatte, habe ich den großen Fehler gemacht es einzuschicken.
Es liegt nun seit ca. 3 Wochen bei MEDION und auch auf erneute Nachfrage hin, wie lange es noch dauern würde, wurde ich immer mit "Haben Sie noch Geduld" abgespeißt. Seit 2 Tagen kommt nicht mal mehr eine Antwort. Mir wurde anfangs versprochen, dass die Reparatur maximal 10 Kalendertage betragen würde. Danach waren es auf einmal 10 Arbeitstage, vor 2 Wochen waren es auf einmal 15 Arbeitstage. UNTRAGBAR für ein Produkt jenseits der 800€.
Hat jemand ebenfalls solche Erfahrungen machen müssen? Was soll ich noch tun? E-Mails sind raus, Hotline angerufen, aber langsam sehe ich es einfach nicht mehr ein für ein neues Produkt Service-Kosten zu übernehmen, die durch wiederholte Hotline anrufe auftreten.
Danke für Eure Hilfe!

Hallo Imijan,

Installing Windows 7 on Ideapad U430 Touch

I just recently got a Lenovo Ideapad U430, and I already don't like Windows 8, which came with it. I went to install Win7 x64 Professional today. I did what I usually do whenever I reinstall Windows: I downloaded the ISO from the Microsoft website, I burned it to a usb drive using the official Microsoft tool, and went into BIOS to boot from the flash drive. However, I am unsure about how to go about actually installing it. I ran into some trouble with the partitions, but was able to shrink the Windows 8 partition and create a new 210.9GB one for win7. Unfortunately, when I went to install 7, it said that the partition could not be used since its apparently a GPT styled partition. My dad tried formatting it and some other things, but it never worked. When he looked online, all he could find was issues regarding the USB drive not being UEFI or something; it was confusing.
My main question is whether or not its fully safe to Windows 7 on this machine. That's the main reason wanted to keep Windows 8 on there, in case 7 didn't work. So... would it be ok to fully format the harddrive and install Windows 7 clean on it? I'm mainly concerned about driver compatability and whether or not messing with the partitions will mess up the laptop in some way.

I'm not sure about your partition issue as I'm running 8.1 but you can use the generic Intel drivers for Windows 8.x or Windows 7, depending on the OS version you're running.
You can find them here:

Lenovo drivers are old and have bugs that have since been fixed by Intel.

Strange clicking noise

Hello all. I hope someone can help me with this question.
I have a 30g ipod that is less than a year old. I believe I purchased it last October. It has started to make a strange clicking noise when I play music.
I tend to use it alot since I can listen to music at work. I would say that it runs for about 9 hours a day. Most of the time when it is in use, it is hooked up directly to the speakers and the battery charger.
Has anyone else had this happen? Does anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Dakota!
First, have you tried resetting your iPod? To reset an iPod:
First, toggle your iPod's "Hold" switch back and forth a couple of times (leave it on the white side of the switch).
Then, press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for 5-10 seconds.
You might need to attempts this quite a few times. Also, if you connect your iPod to your computer or another power source while resetting, that can be more effective.
If resetting doesn't help, then I would suggest that you try restoring your iPod in iTunes.
For info on restoring, see this article about it:

Ideapad U430 Touch gibt störende Geräusche von sich

Hallo,
ich bin seit gestern stolzer Besitzer des Ideapads U430 Touch. Leider gibt das Notebook ein hochfrequentes unregelmäßiges Sirren bzw. Surren ab. Das Geräusch scheint seinen Ursprung ca. unter dem Power-Button zu haben. Es klingt so ähnlich wie das Geräusch einer arbeitenden Festplatte. Das schließe ich aber aus, da es zu laut ist und auch auftritt, wenn die Festplatte nicht arbeitet. Wenn ich die Displayhelligkeit ganz abdunkle oder auf maximale Helligkeit stelle, wird sirren etwas leiser. Ist der Bildschirm aus, ist auch das Sirren verschwunden. Das Geräusch tritt außerdem nur auf, wenn das Netzteil eingesteckt ist und der Akku nicht läd.
Die Lautsprechen fangen außerdem schon bei mittlerer Lautstärke an stark zu verzerren.
Die entspannte Benutzung des Notebooks ist in ruhiger Umgebung quasi nicht möglich. Ist eine Behebung des Problems nötig oder ist das Gerät ein Garantiefall?

Hallo ntp,
vielen Dank für Dein Feedback.
Bitte wende Dich an unseren technischen Service, da das Geräusche aus dem Notebook nicht normal ist.
Lüfter und HDD geben stetig Geräusche ab.
Andere Geräusche sind nicht normal und der Sachverhalt sollte abgeklärt werden.
Die Rufnummer vom Service lautet: 01805 / 366 869 (0,14 €/Min. aus dem dt. Festnetz, Mobilfunk max. 0,42 €/Min. / Montag bis Freitag zwischen 9 und 18 Uhr)

Upgraded to Windows 10 on Lenovo Ideapad p400 touch, screen went dim

Hello,I just installed the free Windows 10 upgrade on my Lenovo Ideapad p400 touch last night. I woke up this morning and booted up my computer, and everything was fine until I attempted to change the brightness. When I tried to do this, my screen went very dim, and now I can't adjust the brightness (and I can't read my screen well, either). Normally, I would install/reinstall the video driver in order to fix this problem (recommended for other users with similar issues), but I currently do not see a Windows 10 version of the driver I need on the Lenovo website.I was wondering:a) if/when a new driver would be available to install (if that's the recommended solution)b) is there something else going on?c) Windows 10 allows you to revert back to Windows 8.1 within the first month of use. Should I just do this?d) Is the p400 touch capable of running Windows 10? Why or why not?Thank you!

Hello. I also have a Lenovo Ideapad p400 touch. Screen also went dim on me. In Windows 8.1 just uninstalling graphic's driver worked. It was Control Panel, Device Manager and then Display Adapters. That doesn't work with Windows 10. The other solution of rebooting and press the increase brightness key at the Lenovo logo somewhat works but it doesn't turn the brightness all the way up. So I found this worked for me: Go here: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ideapad-p-series-laptops/ideapad-p400-touch-notebook/downloads/DS031547 And just download and reinstall the old graphics driver for Windows 8. That finally got me back to maximum brightness.

Lenovo Ideapad S410p Touch automatically switches to Boot Menu after being idle

Hi Everyone,
I would just like to share this little issue I have with this new laptop I bought - I got this Lenovo Ideapad S410p touch from the Lenovo branch in SM Cubao, Philippines. This issue seems to repeat when I let my laptop stay idle, it would automatically go to the boot menu. After choosing the option to boot from disk drive, or pressing ESC it just goes back to boot menu and not boot the OS. Then I would need to long press and hold the power button so I could turn it off then turn it back on. Have you guys ever had this issue? I keep getting this one and have been searching the internet/forums without fruition.
Hope devs from Lenovo take a look at this one. Laptop is about a month old and is already acting up.

here are some of the pics of what it goes to when it's on idle

My iMac makes strange clicking noises on the back of it

It makes some random clicking noises on the back of my iMac that just irritates me alot. What is wrong with it? I purchased it like 2 months ago and I don't think it's a virus or anything. Can anyone help?
Thank you

Hello:
I suggest you take the computer in for diagnosis. Strange noises are not normal.
Incidentally, there are NO viruses that affect a Mac running OS X - NONE.

Strange Clicking noise while starting Mac Book Pro Retina Display Late 2013

Hello i´m very concerned about a clicking noise while starting my mac, the sound comes from the left side, is the SSD producing this noise ?, this machines are supposed to be very silent right? what do i do? how can claim a replacement?

I too think it is related to body chemistry reacting with the metal or some other environmental condition. Sometimes I have fairly sewaty hands and I have corrosion on the edge of my top case. I don't really care about it. Its a tool and tools wear.
I was told by an engineer that it is referred to as "rusty hands". I'm not sure if its high alkaline or acid, but the engineer told me I had rusty hands after I had been using a drill press for a couple of days. There was rust all over the chuck, and other parts of the drill where I had touched it.
