LENOVO N500 SUPERVISOR & BIOS PASWORD BLOCKED

Hello,
I tried to remove the supervisor password in BIOS by writing the old password, pushing "ENTER" button twicely and then reboot my laptop. After that I still see the password request, but it is not related with my old password and blank password. So my laptop data is bloked.
Sorry for bad english.
Thank you for information.

there is a lenovo help page for lost or forgotten passwords.
if the password you have forgotten is not one which can be reset, your options are to remember the password or get the motherboard and/or hard drive replaced. ( contact lenovo support line - call : +370 5 278 66 00 -)
because these passwords are used to protect users' valuable laptops and information, the community rules forbid discussion of ways to defeat them, so I'm locking this thread.

Windows 7 - Lenovo N500 Power manager

Hello.
There is avaliable new "System update 4.0" for Windows 7 but it has no support for N500, although "List of Windows 7 upgrade capable systems" has it.
Will there be avaliable Windows 7 drivers, especially power manager, because sleep/hibernate function is the only ones that doesn't behave normally.
Thank you.

Hi,
i'm running Windows 7 64 Bit successfully on my Lenovo N500 4233-77G.
Here some recommendations:
FIRST:
Install the "Intel Chipset Driver for Windows Vista and XP" from the Lenovo Website. It is meant for XP (32 Bit) and Vista (32 Bit and 64 Bit) and runs flawlessly under Win 7 64 Bit. This resulted in a large temperature decrease of the overall components (CPU, HD, graphics) and is definitely HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
SECOND:
I installed from the Intel website the "Intel Matrix-Storage-Manager" driver for Win 7 64 Bit. Not sure if that helped, but Windows told me afterwards, that it has identified the HD and some SATA Controller. So shouldn't hurt.
You can find it on the intel website by navigating:
chipsets >> notebook chipsets >> intel 4 series express chipset >> driver >> Win 7 64 Bit
THIRD:
Install the Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia website (Win 7 64 Bit again)
FOURTH:
As the system is parking the HD to often (click noise) you should do something against it. Install QuietHDD (http://sites.google.com/site/quiethdd/). The APM setting of 255 is already default and makes the click noise go away. Run that app all the time in the systray. Also this is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
With this setting Hibernate (a successful suspend to disk) works also with Win 7 (i think this is due to the intel chipset driver and also the nvidia driver).
Suspending doesn't work normally on this system, also with the drivers listed above. I think it's related to the BIOS, version 1.10 is out and might be tried. It is only for systems without HDMI, and disables HDMI on laptops which have this output. That's the reason why i haven't tried it on my HDMI enabled laptop.
Good luck,
muggy

Can't get sound when connecting my Lenovo N500 to my Sony Bravia LVD HDTV

I've recently purchased a 42inch Sony Bravia LCD HDTV and have been able to get pitcure just fine on the screen, but sound is another thing all togehter... can anyone give me any pointers on getting sound from my Lenovo to my TV?
Thanks.
Joe

One last comment, I've tried using both HDMI (which I prefer)... but get's me no sound. I've also tried to use the VGA but I do believe I would need to use a sound cable as well... Is the HDMI output on the Lenovo N500 just for video at this point?

Where can I buy a keyboard from for Lenovo N500, keyboard?

Where can I buy a keyboard from for Lenovo N500, 4 GB of memory, 2 GHz dual core, Windows 7 32 bit, conexant high definition smart audio 221, 250 GB hard disk, vista experience rating 3.5.
Any help appreciated.

ebay.. and many online stores are your friends in this case.

Help: Lenovo N500 will not start, product recovery disc won't run

Hi. I am a bit of a laptop dunce so excuse me. My Lenovo N500 has been shutting itself down and not always restarting and the last time I tried a reinstall through the on board system but after a day and a half it was stuck and not changing so I turned it off. Clearly a mistake.
Now when I try to turn it on I get a black screen
File:\Boot\NCR
Status 0xc000000f
Info An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data
It says to insert Windows installation disc and restart but that just circles back to same screen. I have tried the 2 supplied disks. One called "product recovery CD for lenovo N500 Type 4233" (which is the right one I think) and one called "Rescue and recovery disc for use with Microsoft Windows XP" (pretty sure I have Vista and this disc was supplied for people who wanted to get back to XP.
I have tried pressing F8 and F11 to no avail (makes a nasty loud hissing sound).
Any ideas?

hi Cj75,
Can you try if the computer have the WinRE Active
Keep on tapping the F8 key once you power on the system. Then select the Repair your computer option from the boot menu that appears.
WinRE photo (http://media.bestofmicro.com/win,B-8-177956-13.jpg)
If You were able to boot to WinRE
>In the System Recovery Options dialog box, Try running system restore first to a known good Date where your system state was fine.
If system restore fails.
>Try to do this to manually rebuild the BCD
In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt.
Type BOOTREC /FIXMBR, and then press ENTER.
Type BOOTREC /FIXBOOT, and then press ENTER.
Type BOOTREC /REBUILDBCD, and then press ENTER.
If this still failed I believe you really have to Reinstall Windows on this
Try contacting Support in your Are to Order a recovery CD (Fees may apply)

Hello.

When will there be available Windows 7 drivers for Lenovo N500? When will "System update 4.0" have support for N500?
Thank you.
Note from Moderator: Please don't post the same message in multiple boards/threads as it splinters the discussion. Duplicate(s) removed.

indenti,
The N500 is part of the valueline of products, and I believe that our present direction is that TVSU 4.0 is supported only on the ThinkPad systems.
The recommended action would be to manually download and install updated Win 7 drivers from the N500 driver matrix page as they become available.

Copmaq 6530b bios pasword

I need to reset my bios pasword on my laptop hp compaq 6530b, i tried to remove the batery which is located under the HDD but it didint work... Anyone Help

Hi,
The password will be stored in non-volatile memory so removing the RTC battery will not work and as this is a business class machine, there is no 'backdoor' password option. Your best option is to contact HP regarding this.

Lenovo N500 and Win7 x64: fails to resume from sleep or hibernate

Hello!
First of all, sorry for my bad english. I have bought an N500 laptop on the previous week. I'm using Windows 7 x64 on my desktop PC for months without any problem, so i thought i give it a try on my new notebook to. I choosed the x64 edition because my notebook has 4GB of memory plus the 256MB dedicated memory of the GeForce IGP. The installation went fine, it detected all the hardware in the laptop (except the memory card reader, but i found out that the Vista driver works fine with it). My only problem is, that if i try to hibernate the machine, or put the notebook into sleep state, most of the times it doesn't wake up from it, just simply reboots. If i resume from hibernate it provides me the option to delete the restoration data and do a clean boot. It's very annoying because defaultly if i close the lid or just simple leave the machine for a while, it goes to sleep automatically (i turned it off for now of course, but i like to use). It does it even after a fresh install, if i didn't install anything by hand. Windows Update offers me prelease GeForce drivers, but if i install those the problem still remains. As is see there isn't any Windows 7 drivers for this laptop, just Thinkpad series have Beta drivers for this OS. Or just i didn't find them on the site? I will try to install Windows 7 x86 this afternoon to check it's the 64bit OS which makes the problem or not.
Can somebody suggest me something to solve this problem?

I have the same problem here. lenovo N500 Windows 7 7100 64bit. Have Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family, That recently got official driver from intel (I dont think that's the problem anyway).
Everything work fine with 32bit.
Look around everywhere, no Success yet

Lenovo n500 - crashed winxp during bios flash upgrade

Hi all...
During the Bios upgrade (52ch04ww.exe) crashed windowsxp, rebooted, and never boots again. No bios, no screen (video)..
How i can restore my bios or reset to the factory? None see on monitor - black screen and no boot.
Maybe know anybody some bootable automated bios/flash recovery software?
Thanks..

Hem, forget your Notebook.
On my old HP Notebook i did an bios flash from bios which was not for my notebook , the Laptop goes on, but the screen is black and it does nothing.
Your problem is, during the update or flash, and crash there are no bios on the ROM anymore, or maybe not the whole BIOS.
So, there are some solutions:
1) Forget the laptop, because, if you got warranty, contact Lenovo, but they can say, that you should pay for the new motherboard with the BIOS on it. By HP it costs 230€ - 300€ (for a bit more i bayed my Lenovo Notebook), or they will do it IF the mistake was done by Lenovo (by HP somebody put the BIOS file for my laptop, under the Category for my laptop, but it was BIOS from an other Laptop, mistake done by HP, they pay!).
But if its your mistake, sorry, through the laptop out of the window.
2) Other way: There are no other ways. In the old PC's you could change the ROM-Chip. you could buy it on ebay, or some little companies. BUT, the ROM chip from lenovo notebooks, are soldered in the motherboard like by HP, so you cant change them.
3) Trying to boot from CD/DVD/USB-Floppy/USB-Flash:
This wont help! Because the BIOS (Hardware Layer ) is no more, so the Hardware doesn't know what to do.
For example if the BIOS ok, the system becomes command what to do, to do a POST test or something like that, then you can chose by pressing keys what the system should do, for example boot.
But without BIOS, the system do not have the commands any more.
So
Contact the Lenovo Support Service, and ask what could you do, and how much the repair costs.
I learned one thing, NEVER DO THE BIOS flash under windows!
I mean it was not my mistake by my HP notebook, but it could happen with each notebook, when it crashes.
so,
i hope i could help you, sorry for bad news.
write after you phone Lenovo.
and remember
Don't change a running system.

Y50 uhd 48hz frame lock can be fixed lenovo must update bios and other seriouse promblems.

No it doesn't help at all.
Especially when I can be corrected.
Lenovo is lazy and disrespectful to its customers.

Hello I have discovered the y50 Uhd refresh ratecan be fixed the promblems stems from this orginally. When the y50 came out theIntel® HD Graphics 4600which was used for display could only run uhd at 30hz so lenovo released a custom driver and bios too make it run at 48hz with windows 10 being released intel has updated the driverit now features dx11 and dx12 support and can run uhd at 60hz I completely deleted the lenovo drivers and unistalled them restartedand install intel drivers because deleting and the drivers is the only way you can install intel drivers as the lenovo drivers act more like a virus and locks you in too only using there drivers i quickly notices a shaper image and more deeper colors in the screen but it was still capped at 48 which leads me to the conclusion that indeed lenovo capped it in biosor else it would of ran at 60 hz thanks too the new drivers also another thing lenovo did was block the ability to choose xmpfiles for highquality ram in bios this needs too be fixed because this a gaming laptopand lenovo you need to leave the bios alone you cant update you nvidia driversyou cant update you intel drivers and you permently limit people and they can not work around because simply you want to also lock there bios It feels like I was loaned a computer and i dont own it you cant pick and choose xmp setting like a real gaming laptop you need to fix this pronto stop locking everything.

Which lenovo models have BIOS option to choose discrete graphics

I am planning on buying a Lenovo with an Nvidia graphics card.
Apparently, only the expensive Lenovos have an option in the BIOS to choose 'discrete graphics' or the dedicated graphics card.
The cheaper Lenovos only have a choice between 'Switchable graphics' and 'UMA only'( which I guess is the integrated graphics).
Can someone tell me which is the least expensive Lenovo model that has an option to choose 'Discrete graphics' in the BIOS ?
Thanks.

The W520, by Indian standards, is an expensive model.
