Lenovo K450 Upgrades

Hi, I want to upgrade my power supply to a 600w PSU to support a new graphics card. I would like to have either a GeForce gtx 750 or 760. Or maybe a r7 260X. How would I go about doing this since I heard the Lenovo IdeaCentre K450 can only support so high of a GPU. But I also heard that there was a way to bypass this and be able to use higher end GPUs. If I could bypass it, I would like to know how. I would appreciate some help in this matter, thanks. (Btw I purchased this in March 2014, so it has the new Haswell CPU) and since it's the new version, could it now take up to the geforce gtx 750?

hi JamesA95,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
According to this Tech specs
Your system sould support 8GB and this Laptop Has two Memory banks, so You should be able to do that RAM setup.
http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/essential/g-series/g580/#techspecs
Fro RAM I personally recommend this
http://images.crucial.com/upgrade/Lenovo-memory/Essential+%2F+Value+Line/Lenovo+G580-upgrades.html
Installing SSD This is ver doable.
have the SSD installed where the HDD is now and put the ssd on the Optical Drive slot using a Caddy for 2.5"
Your main Concern here is to Migrate the HDD content to the SSD and losing the Onekey REcovery Option in The Process.
Regards
Solid Cruver

Lenovo T61p upgrading possibilities

Hello dear Lenovo community people,
I am new here and myself I'm an IT technician and I would like to do a few modifications to my Lenovo T61p.
First of all, my biggest plan was upgrading the processor, right now I have a Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 @ 2.4Ghz. I have read many posts and forums about going to Core 2 Extreme X9000 or Core 2 Duo T9300. My question is, are these upgrades possible and how much would they cost in today's used parts economy? Would there be any overheating issues considering the voltage and power they use?
My second question is considering the RAM in my system. I have read that adding up to 8GB is possible, but Lenovo homepage says max is 4GB(which I have). Is it possible for me and how much would they cost in today's used parts economy? Would it be useful?
My third question is about extra add-ons, my edition of this computer didn't come with a built-in SD-card slot, but instead had a built-in Smartcard slot, can I add an SD card slot somewhere(PCMCIA or anywhere else besides USB)?
Also I don't have the firewire port, but instead it has just a black plastic in front of it. Can I add a firewire port there?
Are there also any 3G possibilities on my system, besides 3G USB?
My fourth question is about the HDD, what is the maximum a T61p will support, right now I have a stock 100GB HDD, I was planning on putting a 1TB in, since it fits in there. Is this possible?
Also, what kind of motherboard do I have? I heard the penryn is newer compared to a merom and has more possibilities. How to determine, which model I have?
My last question is considering the TrackPoint, I have the old-fashioned TrackPoint, which the old T23 had(http://blog.codinghorror.com/content/images/uploads/2006/05/6a0120a85dcdae970b0120a86d647f970b-pi.jp... so I really want to upgrade to this new one(http://www.vath.co/images/IBM%20Trackpoint%20SOFTDOME%20165.jpg). Is it possible and will it fit?
Are all these choices useful, considering I do lots of work, install a lot and do med-heavy gaming(CS: GO, old classics, some new ones etc.)?
I am also wondering; which Windows suits me best, right now I have Windows7 Home Premium, what is the next best thing, Enterprise or Ultimate, or stick with Home Premium, what are the differences in perofrmance? Should I go to Windows 8 or 8.1, maybe 9 or 10???
My laptop specs:
Screen: 14.1-inch SXGA+ (1400x1050) TFT Display in 4:3 non-widescreen.

Hello! I use a Lenovo T61P in every day!

Basically Windows 7 does not load the AHCI driver upon boot if the SATA-drive controller was not in AHCI mode at the time of installation. MS offers a fix for this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922976#MT3

Lenovo Care upgrade can't install Client Security update.

Hi !
Laptop is 3000N200 (0769-BAG) Upgraded to Windows XP.
Since a couple of weeks, when I launch Lenovo Care assitant and look at upgrades for my system, it finds Client Security Solution Version 8.2 but the installation finished immediatelly and said that it was not installed. I don't know why, I can't see a log file nor an error message. If I launch the assistant again, it finds the same update availlable again...
What is wrong with this ? And how can I fix the problem ?
TIA !

You should check out my detailed post in the following thread:
http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=N_Series_Lenovo_3000&message.id=5649
However, I'll summarise.
a) It seems that the system update application tries to load version 8.2 (of the Client Security Solution) on top of version 8.0
b) It seems that you cannot go directly from 8.0 to 8.2; you [manually] have to go via 8.1 which is available here (vista/xp):
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-69128
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-69733
Of relevance to diagnosis was that you really need to do a manual install to actually see the error message rather than just have the install fail silently. Overall, however, it was reading the various related web pages that yielded the needed information (see the post I referenced above for the detailed information).
Lastly, when doing the manual installs I did receive an additional error message related to the version of finger-print software I had loaded. I now believe that this was a red herring, but it did lead me on a wild goose-chase (read my other post for the gory details).
Good luck and post your experiences back here!
George.

Lenovo G505s upgrade

Hi Guys
was wondering if you can help me, i bought a Lenovo G505s about 9 months ago 8gb ram, 1tb hhd, amd 7640g, AMD a8 4500m could i upgrade this to a A10 and if so what one, im at work atm so i can give you any more details.
more info im doing this so i can run League of Legends abit better atm i only get about 40 - 60 fps on that and 60 at low.

hi HomebredTripod,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
As per this G505s tech specs and from the spare parts image below, the Lenovo G505s can go as much as AMD A10-5750M APU.
- Link to picture
The upgrade is possible but I don't think it's worth the money that you'll spend on the new CPU as it's a bit expensive and the improvement is not that great.
- A8-4500M benchmark
- A10-5750M benchmark (see price here)
IMO, I think it will be much better if you get a new system with a dedicated graphics to boost the FPS while playing games (you can either keep your old Lenovo or sell it to addup to the cost of your new gaming rig).
Regards

Lenovo B560 Upgrade Questions

I have a lenovo B560 with in intel pentium, Intel HD Graphics Card, and 4GB DDR3 Ram (I Think) and i'm wanting to upgrade the graphics card now and don't know which one to get. I'm also goanna replace the processor later on.
Thank You For Any Help.
Solved!

Hi Pheonix...
Intel HD graphics is integrated with the CPU, a dedicated graphics chip would need to be soldered to the main-board.
If you swap the CPU with a more powerful one you probably need to install a larger heat-sink as well.
In short... upgrading is not very practical, may think of selling your B560 and buy a more powerful laptop.
good Luck... Zehn

T410s display port no longer works after lenovo / win7 upgrade

Arrggh... I have a Dell u2711h monitor that i connected to my t410s via display port. It worked fine until i did a lenovo driver updateand windows 7 update. Now, it just goes into powersaving mode with the display port. I backed out the windows7 updates, went back to a windows restore point from when i knew the dp worked, uinstalled / reinstalled the lenovo drivers for nvidia nvs 3100m optimus, audio, etc.
The HDMI cable works, the monitor works with display port off of another PC, but no longer on my t410s. Anybody have any ideas? I spent a lot of money getting a big monitor with a high resolution trhough dp, but now i can't use it. Very fustrating.
Any ideas?

Hi dft410s,
Please try in BIOS to isolate hardware/software issue. If problem remains, please contact local lenovo for machine inspection

Lenovo g550 upgrade hard drive and ram

I have a Lenovo G550 (20023), it has Intel T4300 CPU, 3 GB DDR3 RAM,Intel GMA 4500M graphics card and Windows 7, with 320 GB seagate HDD.
I would like to buy a new HDD.
I found a 2TB Verbatim drive 15 mm height.
How much drive height does G550 support?
Also somewhere it says that 4 GB RAM is max supported, elsewhere it says 8 GB.
Are there any CPUs with integrated graphics (Intel HD 4000 etc....) available for this laptop?
Thank you for answers.

Ooops. Yes. Sorry for that silly typo. It is 2 TBs. Here's the info on memory:
Maximum Memory
16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots

Lenovo H230 - upgrade from Windows 7 Home Premium to Professional

I would like to put Professional on my H230 in such a way as to have it in the RECOVERY PARTITION so I will be able to RECOVER to that version. I do not believe an INSTALL will allow that.
How do I install to the RECOVERY PARTITION? so it will be the RECOVERY version?

Well, I'm embarrassed to admit I rather "jumped the gun" on this one ... having written and posted my query I thought I'd see if a Restart would help ... it did!! Turns out I am now satisfactorily upgraded to Pro.
Sorry if I have wasted anyone's time and ... if you're experiencing a similar problem ... I'd advise you go for a Restart before panicking ... like me!!

Lenovo G410 Upgrade

Hi, i would like to ask about my G410 laptop. I am wondering which part of the laptop should i change to make my laptop able to run higher-end games like (Assassin's Creed Unity). Do i have to change my graphics card? If so, which graphics card will fit my laptop?
Thanks in advance.
Currently I am running:
Processor - Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4200M CPU @2.50GHz
RAM - 8GB
Display Adapters - AMD Radeon R5 M230
- Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600

hi marcustxl,
Welcome to the Forums
Most newer games demand
Looking at page 28-29 of the HMM, the specs didn't indicate any mxm conections (removable GPU) on the PC
In addition, this data page indicates that the AMD Radeon™ R5 M230 graphics card is an IGP card (soldered on the motherboard) and not an MXM module. In this case, there's no room for a graphics card upgrade on the motherboard.
- Sample image (soldered GPU)
- Sample MXM chip (removable GPU)
Hope this helps.
Regards

Lenovo s960 upgrade kitkat can't get any notification from bbm,line or wa for new message

After contact manager problem has finished, I found new problem that I can get any notification when I receive new message from bbm,line n wa..I have to open the application Over n over to know if new messages come..please give me solution for the problem..

I know exactly how you feel. I bought a video and haven't been able to watch it either. Imagine all the "couple of bucks" here and there that Apple gets to keep.
Especially when they is no one here to answer questions and we need to trackdown someone. The FAQ's are useless, like every other companies FAQ. Nothing has anything to do with real problems.
