Lenovo, Motherboard change, port locker now not working

I bought a Lenovo V570 and it worked well for a few months. Then the computer would not start up at all, and was not getting any power. I took it back to Best Buy and they said there are quite a few problems with that, and that they would send it out to replace the motherboard.
I got the computer back a week later, and it was working fine, except that the Port Locker would not now accept the password, I am not sure if this is due to the change of the motherboard. Now I get notices that the Windows operating system is not genuine. I researched online and found out that since there is a new motherboard, the original windows installation thinks this is a new computer altogether.
I took it back to Best buy , and they say the only way is to get the computer back to factory reset. I said that will be fine but I need to back up my all data. Herein lies the problem. The port locker will not let me attach a external hard drive to back up my data, as now the port locker will not recognize my password..
I cannot plug in anything into the usb ports as they are blocked by port locker. Anyone has any ideas on how to take care of this problem ?
Thanks in advance

You could upload your data to a web-based backup solution.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_online_backup_services
The "Windows is not genuine" message can come up after a motherboard replacement (though I don't believe Lenovo has a DMI/Tattooo issue), but the Port Locker password should remain unchanged. Regardless, I'd recommend backing up your data to one of the online backup sites and then restoring the computer back to factory defaults. Keep in mind that the online backup will probably take quite a bit of time...obviously depending on how much data you have to backup and how fast your internet connection is.

Lenovo Thinkpad Edge S430 SSD cache not working???

Hi guys,
I just got my S430 a couple of days ago. Installed Windows 8 x64 (RTM).
Everything was working ok. More or less. But now SSD cache just "dissapeared". Whenever I try to initialize it from the computer manager it throws a I/O error, and the installer cannot identify the SSD.
Ideas? Is it dead? (within a week of buying it!!! )
If I helped you, please give me some kudos! ^^

Thanks for your reply, lead_org. My apologies, I didn't see the reply before.
Is not the mSATA port, but the mSATA SSD. It's being detected, both in W7 and W8, both in this machine and in a Lenovo E420s. But it's not working at all (I/O error, yada yada).
Thing is, to ask for the warranty, Lenovo wants me to send the whole notebook. And I need it to work, so it's a no-go.
I guess I just lost 35 bucks of the mSATA SSD cost. :@

The Port : 6001 is not working in the system

Hi Experts,
OS : AIX 6.1
SAP : SAP Netweaver EHP1
In the OS level the Port : 6001 is not working and giving the out put as...
pb2adm> telnet abcprdpb2 6001
Trying...
telnet: connect: A remote host refused an attempted connect operation.
Virtual host : abcprdpb2
As it is the BI java stack system & I configured the SMD & wily in the system. From the BI java stack system the wily agent is not working and it uses the port : 6001.
Now the issue is regarding to the port : 6001
when telnet in the same system which is Virtual host : abcprdpb2 is not working and which I have given the output above. It is working when I telnet to the other systems. Please see the output below...
pb2adm> telnet abcprd001 6001
Trying...
Connected to abcprd001.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed.
From other system virtual host : abcprd001
As I have checked with the firewall team and said it is fine in the system and same us AIX team also. But still port : 6001 issue is not resolved in the Virtual host : abcprdpb2
Can you please let me know how to open the port : 6001 in the Virtual host : abcprdpb2 and also how we can confirm that port : 6001 is opened or blocked in the Virtual host : abcprdpb2.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep.

Hi,
The both mentioned virtual systems are in different LPAR's (Physical host).
Already I have checked the /etc/services and looks every thing is fine in the file. I have also checked the file inetd.conf and I didn't find any thing # on the Telnet.It seems every thing is fine in the both files.
Can you please look in to it and provide some thing which I have to look in the OS level.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep

Keyboard delete and caps lock keys not working after update

Shortly after a windows update two keys, delete and caps lock do not work. I have tried the following
1. system restore..it says it cannot restore as a file is missing. I have used this function before without any problem.
2. Update key board driver (standard PS/2)..it says latest version is installed.
3. Uninstall and reinstall.
4. Reset using the remove batteryt hold down power key option.
The caps lock and delete does not work in Notepad or MS Word.
It seems unlikely that the two keys themselves are damaged as it is unlikely that they would both fail at the same time and the problem after the windows undate is suspicious.
I am using Windows 7 Home premium on a 64 bit HP G62.
help appreciated as ever
thanks

Here's another test...since your laptop has USB ports get or borrow a USB keyboard and try it and if all those keys work and test then the results would mean your laptop keyboard has stop functioning as least you narrow done the problem.

Disable port monitoring task not working

Hi,
On SCOM 2012 SP1 the task "disable port monitoring" is not working. When I run it shows a success message but the port\interface keeps to be monitored on scom, the ports that I'm trying to disable the monitoring are members of the Relay Network
Adapters Group. Is there any way to fix this task or manually stop the monitoring of the port\interface ?

Hi Carlos,
By coincidence I ran into the same problem today.
It can be disabled by creating an override where you target the specific port object and set the parameter enabled=false.
I am not 100% sure this is the correct way but it works. I am assuming the disable port does something similar but I have to open up the task to confirm this.
For now I hope this helps.

if your computer is not recognizing it, try using a different USB port or different usb cable. if that doesnt work you will need to uninstall and reinstall itunes.

HT1192 Caps Lock is not working in my mac, after pressing long time too.

Caps Lock is not working in my mac, after pressing long time too.Please help me to sort this problem out.

I think even in newer versions of OS X there is a slight delay; just not so pronounced. My advice to get around it would be to install PCKeyboardHack and KeyRemap4MacBook - then do a couple of things:
Change the Caps Lock key in System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys to "None"
Use PCKeyboardHack to remap Caps Lock to keycode 110, the PC Application Key, which is unused on Apple keyboards.
Then use KeyRemap4Macbook to map that particular keycode to Toggle Caps Lock.Try selecting For PC Users > Change PC Application Key > Application Key to CapsLock.
I'm pretty sure that should get rid of the delay, which only happens when Apple is in charge of connecting the Caps Lock key to its action.
Really, though, I would personally recommend doing some much more awesome things with your Caps Lock key; it's prime keyboard real estate, and who uses caps lock anyway, except in the darkest corners of the Internet? Personally, I've remapped Caps to be Escape (for use in my text editor) when you press it by itself quickly, but to be Cmd+Opt+Ctrl+Shift when you press it with any other key. I call it the "Hyper" key, and use it to switch applications; Hyp+S = Safari, Hyp+D = email, Hyp+F = Finder... The point is, be creative, make the Caps Lock key work for you.
Oh, and the real Escape key maps to Caps Lock, so I can use it if I want to.

NVIDIA Tools now not working with PS CC, is there any other add-on besides NVIDIA that will open .DDS files in photoshop?

I had no problems with CS6 PS, but since I upgraded to PS CC, NVIDIA Tools is now not working and crashes when I try to reinstall the plug-in into PS CC. I checked NVIDIA's forums and found ZIP from them about this problem. So I am asking in here, is there another plug-in that will open .DDS files in PS? I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 for the OS, and I know the PS CC is 32 bit. Until I can resolve this issue, I am unable to do repaints of PMDG aircraft for my VA. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I had a similar issue but i solved it following the instructions explained here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bu … l.2FNVIDIA.
I also reccomend you to install the bbswitch package which disables NVIDIA discrete graphics card when isn't used.

Upgrade of our 10.4.11 laptop to 10.5 is accomplished and we now need to upgrade Quicktime and iTunes; however, the user name and password is now not working after the upgrade to 10.5.

Object is to sync address and calendar between laptop with Max OS 10.4.11 and iPhone. Upgrade of our 10.4.11 laptop to 10.5 is accomplished and we now need to upgrade Quicktime and iTunes; however, the user name and password for the laptop is now not working after the upgrade to 10.5., though it was working prior to the upgrade, for file sharing.

@ BDAqua > I tried your suggestion but no luck. holding opt+command just gave me a blue screen and it rebotted, pushing the disk out of the drive. Yes, the macbook has 1 gb of ram. I realize that the min req. call for 2 gb of ram so i've got an order in for another dimm to put into the machine. Thanks for your suggestions.
@ a_brody > Yes. The machine was plugged into a power source. The disk promts you to do that and i recall aspect this form other installs. Thanks for the reminder tho! ( btw your second post is like greek to me man!)
@ Kuncklesmac > You're right about Snow Leopard being an upgrade from Leopard. I'm aware of this. And yes previously i've been told by Apple that I needed the Box Set (not the family pack. i am using the family pack for OS Snow Leopard) to upgrade my 10.4.11 mac - they never mentioned adding ram but i figured that out on my own and an apple specialist recommended it when i purchased Snow Leopard and confirmed that I coul duse the Snow Leopard to upgarde from Tiger (10.4.11). I've also read extensively (as i said above) that it isn't necessary (always) to buy the box set. Several 10.4.11 users report having upgraded using the Snow Leopard upgrade disk only (not the Box Set) without trouble on intel macs (also see the apple link i posted). So i'm just ondering how they did it and i cannot.
Thanks fo rall yor help!

My Time Capsule expired and no longer works. My printer (a HP) will now not work as it still wishes to connect through the Time Capsule. It will not allow itself be recognised through a USB connection to my Mac. Anyone got any ideas?

My Time Capsule expired and no longer works. My printer (a HP) will now not work as it still wishes to connect through the Time Capsule. It will not allow itself be recognised through a USB connection to my Mac. Anyone got any ideas?

You will need to install the printer on your Mac
Open System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
Open Print & Fax
Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list
Wait for your printer to appear in the next box, then click it to highlight it
Click Add at the lower right
Be sure to select the correct printer when you try to print as you will see your printer listed twice. Good idea to make the printer now installed on your Mac the default printer so you do not have to choose which printer to use each time you want to print.
You can also go into Print & Fax, select the printer associated with the Time Capsule and click the - (minus) button if you want to delete that location.
