I am looking for detailed specs fort T43 2668-F7G. I cannot find this anymore on the Lenovo support pages. This is a general question since I believe Lenovo has change their supportpages some month ago.
Any clue?
Solved!

Hi,
I was able to dig this out of the dusty corners of the site:
ThinkPad T43 (2668-F7G)
P M 760(2GHz), 512MB RAM, 80GB 5400rpm HDD, 15in 1400x1050 LCD, 64MB ATI Radeon X300, CD-RW/DVD-R Multi-Burner, Intel 802.11abg wireless, Bluetooth/Modem, 1Gb Ether, UltraNav, Sec Chip, FPR, 6c Li-Ion, WinXP Pro
I was unable to find a link to the Western Europe withdrawn models that goes far enough back for a T43
Sorry, that's the best I can do.  Maybe someone has a copy of the old ltwbook_WE.pdf stashed somewhere.  (If there even was one - not sure about that.)

  • Ideapad Flex 14 - Lenovo support does show correct warranty details

    Hi
    The Lenovo support centre does not show correct warranty details for my Ideapad Flex 14 laptop. The laptop is barely one month old and it is covered under warranty for next 11 months.

    Sometimes warranties are set as the build date by default. If you contact Lenovo with your invoice / receipt, they should be able to update the warranty details.

  • How to find lenovo outlet machine spec

    hey guys i just ordered a new ThinkPad T430 and when is was delivered i found there was no such information from outer box telling me the detailed spec of this machine, so i am wondering if there is anyway i can find the detailed spec? it lacks of Bluetooth/keyboard/network adapter information from the outlet page.
    also, i am curious how accurate lenovo outlet spec is. is that possible i will get a machine with better or wose configuration?
    thanks

    You need to find your ThinkPad's machine type / model  number. It's printed on a small label on the bottom of the case or inside the battery compartment and looks something like this (the 2668-KHU part):
    Use this to look up the specs for that specific model on Lenovo's website using the Quick Path at http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/#

  • Trying to understand Lenovo support - I just need a basic question answered

    I have a few Thinkstation S20 desktops that are now out of warranty and I am trying to re-purpose them for lab machines.  These desktops do not have any Windows 7 product key stickers on them and I would like to put Windows 7 Pro on them.  I assume they probably were shipped with Windows 7, but these came from another office in our company and they might have been ordered as CAD workstations.  However, if they are allowed legally to have Windows 7, I would like to install it.  With our older Dell's systems, we can go into Dell's website, put in a service tag and see the original configuration.  There doesn't appear to be this simple way of doing this on Lenovo's website...is there?
    What is the deal with Lenovo support?  I've had some awful experiences and this one is no exception.  Read on if you are interested in the absurd support details...
    So I call the main Lenovo 800 support number.  After I give the lady all my information, she says "oh, this is a thinkstation, and you are in the wrong department...let me transfer you".  So, after a long hold, I get another person on the phone...I go through all the information on the system in question, explain that I am trying to find out if this machine came with an OEM Windows 7 license.  After a few more minutes, she now tells me "Oh, this is a Thinkstation...I cannot support those...you have to call a different phone number".  She give me the phone number (which is the ORIGINAL phone number I called!!!) and tells me to push option 2, then option 1, and put in a machine type of 4155, even though the machine type is really 4157.  I confirm with her that she is giving me the wrong machine type, but she insists I use that one.  So, I call back the other 800 number, go through ALL the information a third time, and she tells me these machines are out of warranty.  I know they are out of warranty, I just want find out if they came with Windows 7 Professional!  She says she needs to transfer me to the software department.  I get put on hold again, and then have to give ALL my information to the NEW person for the 4th time!  After a long hold, she finally gets back to me and tells me this is a CTO model and customizable by the customer.  She then says her records show it came with Vista.  This machine was built well after the release of Windows 7...I have no idea how it came with Vista, and she says I need to call the vendor and find out why there is no sticker on it.

    Hi jbobst,
    if you go to the support site, http://support.lenovo.com/us/en, or click on support at the top of the forum you will be able to search on the model type of your system after selecting Search by Machine Type Model.
    If your system is a CTO, Configured To Order, this wont unfortunately tell you which OS was preinstalled in which case you can use Parts Lookup; this will usually state which OS was installed. For Parts Lookup only the first 4 characters of the MTM are required.

  • Lenovo support - options for recovering Windows 8 on new X230

    Hello, I recently purchased x230 with Windows 8.
    I installed Ubuntu 12.0 (attempting to dual boot).  Unfortuantely, Windows 8 is no longer accessible(UEFI error comes up on boot), the restore partition is also corrup ("required partition cannot be found").
    I attempted to install win 8 PRO that I purchased from scratch.  It failes because the Windows 8 key embedded into the EFI doesn't match the new Windows 8 PRO that I have on DVD.
    I chatted with Lenovo support, asking to purchase restore DVDs for my laptop - I was told that it's not possible (after going thorugh a couple of people and wasting 1.5 hours on chat_
    Please provide some support as it is unacceptable that I cannot install clean version of WIndows 8 and the restore disks are not available from Lenovo.
    Thank You.

    Unfortunately, win 8 doesn't support dual boot in native or not tweaked mode.
    Try this tool:

  • Detailed specs for Cinema HDD 23-inch -- different from older models?

    I am having trouble finding detailed specifications for my new 23" display to use for running X.org. I need to know the timings for each resolution, as simply specifying the resolution does not work. The best I've found is here:
    http://www.gubbe.ch/linux/dev-cinema23.php (the gray box at the bottom lists the detailed specs to put in the file)
    However, this is for the older model of display with ADC and not DVI. I'm not sure if these will work with the new model, and I'm afraid to try because it used to be that one could really mess up one's display by specifying the wrong timings.
    Does anyone know if the specs have changed between the older and newer models, or where I could find new specs, or help setting it up to run under X.org?

    Actually, those Modelines from the web site work fine, at least for the generic nv driver. I'm having trouble getting the proprietary one from nVidia to work though. I'm working with them on this: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=70630
    The problem I am looking at right now are these lines from my latest Xorg.0.log file:
    (WW) NVIDIA(0): No connected display devices detected; assuming 1 CRT
    (WW) NVIDIA(0): Unable to read EDID for display device CRT-0
    (II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU GeForce3 Ti 500 at PCI:1:5:0
    (--) NVIDIA(0): VideoRAM: 65536 kBytes
    (--) NVIDIA(0): VideoBIOS: 03.20.00.16.10
    (II) NVIDIA(0): Detected AGP rate: 4X
    (--) NVIDIA(0): Interlaced video modes are not supported on this GPU
    (--) NVIDIA(0): Connected display device(s) on GeForce3 Ti 500 at PCI:1:5:0:
    (--) NVIDIA(0): CRT-0
    (--) NVIDIA(0): CRT-0: 350.0 MHz maximum pixel clock
    (II) NVIDIA(0): Assigned Display Device: CRT-0
    (II) NVIDIA(0): Validated modes:
    (II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1200"
    (II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1920 x 1200
    (WW) NVIDIA(0): Unable to get display device CRT-0's EDID; cannot compute DPI
    (WW) NVIDIA(0): from EDID.
    (==) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (75, 75); computed from built-in default
    This is my graphics card saying, "I can't see what sort of monitor has been plugged in, so I'm going to assume it's a CRT," and then from there it messes up. It can't tell my monitor is plugged into the DVI port. I'm not sure if this is my monitor's problem or my card's problem. The monitor is plugged in directly--the cable coming from the monitor is plugged right into the DVI port--but I'm not sure if Apple did something silly like, say, converting that DVI connection into an ADC connection before having it interface with the monitor's hardware. Any insight about this would be appreciated.
    Anyway, I tried that timing you gave me with the proprietary driver. It didn't work, but I doubt that's because the timing is incorrect, and has more to do with the fact that my card can't seem to see the monitor.

  • Lenovo Support - Laptop problems

    Good day,
    I was hoping someone could help me I phoned Lenovo support centre and I was disconnected,
    My laptop has an issue with Blue Screen ; while working my computer it just gives me a blue screen saying "Your PC has run into a problem and will restart.  My PC restarts and then  I carry on working.
    I don’t know what the problem may be I have not changed anything on this laptop it is stock standard. I have Windows 8 which was installed on the computer, I have Microsoft office 2007 which was given to me by my IT if anyone can help me or guide me please.
    Also I bought my laptop in about June of this year.  My warranty will be finishing off in November I spoke to a lady by the name of Mennatallah and she advised me she will be sending me an email with details where I must send my receipt to so that my warranty can be amended.  Could someone help me in full here or get someone to sort out my computer problem?  I am not phoning support again just so that I can get hung up on...
    Thank you very much,

    hi Shearidan,
    From the screenshot, the main causes of the BSOD's are btsokrnl.exe, ndistapi.sys, and hal.dll, in which, are essential windows system files.
    From this source, here's a background on the BSOD:
    0x00000124 - "Windows passes on the hardware error report in the form of a "stop 0x124" because it can't do anything else once the hardware has signalled an uncorrectable fault condition. In technical terms, the vast majority of stop 0x124 crashes correspond to "Machine Check Exceptions" (MCEs) issued by the processor to alert the software to the existence of a hardware problem. It's possible for drivers to indirectly induce hardware to register MCEs by "driving" in ways that are confusing to the hardware"
    This crash can be a hardware fault or a driver issue. To isolate, try to:
    1. Run Windows Update to get the latest patch and bug fixes
    2. Follow this guide on how to run Driver Verifier
    3. Reboot the machine and observe the computer.
    If the BSOD re-occurs, perform a clean boot and observe the computer again.
    Let me know how it goes.

  • Lenovo support question?

    2 questions! First how do I contact a Lenovo support person here in the US? Second, is it possible to go back from 7 Home to the original 7 Starter?  S10-3, upgraded to 2 G/Ram  thanks, Bill

    Bill,
    To answer your very first question - you can contact customer services by phone - the details are on the Lenovo website.
    Now, regarding restoring back to Win7 Starter using OneKey:
    I've got an S12-ION, which comes with Win 7 Home Premium, not Starter, but I understand the situation is essentially the same.
    That is, if you select the 'Restore from Initial Back-up' option, it will overwrite the C: drive with whatever was there to begin with (when it came out of the factory).
    In your case, if your machine ships with Windows 7 Starter, then Windows 7 Starter it will be.
    Now, if you still have the OneKey Application installed in Home, then you can use that to make both 'User Back-ups' (of whatever is currently on your C: drive), or you may use it to create a 'Factory Defaults Recovery Disk set'.
    This, the Factory Defaults Recovery Disk set, does something similar to 'Restore from Initial Back-up', except you'll need to boot 'into' the first disk of the set - it will then overwrite the entire contents of the HDD.
    It's main use is for if you want to replace the HDD or if your current HDD gets corrupted, and, again, it will restore the drive to the state it was in when the machine left the factory.
    To make (or use) a Factory Defaults Recovery Disk set, you will need an external CD/DVD burner (or just a reader when performing a restore).
    You can also use the OneKey application to make a 'custom recovery disk set' using a previously created user back-up file.
    So, if say you want to buy an SSD to replace the HDD with, if you first make a user backup of your current HDD, then make a recovery disk set from that user backup, you can then replace the HDD with the SSD (or a different HDD) and then use the custom recovery disk set to get back to where you were.
    NOTE: there are two parts to OneKey - a windows Application (that you may or may not still have installed (it should run if you press the OneKey button whilst in Windows, if it is installed)) and the Boot-time program (that's what runs when you press the OneKey button when you machine is off).
    Oh, and I think the version number you're seeing in OneKey is not your Windows 7 version number - it's the OneKey software version number - it just happens to be 7 point something.
    Scott

  • Lenovo support doesn't respond!!!!!

    Lenovo support is very lack to respond any issues in this forum or via email inquiries.
    My case is sitting there for 3 weeks and no response. Hope they will take the laptop back and give me all my money.

    Hey swooosh,
    i'm not that good in techie stuff but to my understanding , this >>
    " [ 1.652354] ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) "
    would refer it to be SATA revision II ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA ) since it gives a theoretical speed of 3.0 Gbps.
    It is true that the x120e's tech spec did not mention that it is SATA III capable, but i do believe it did mention (indirectly) it was SATA II capable as per this tech spec >> http://www.lenovo.com/shop/americas/content/pdf/system_data/x120e_tech_specs.pdf
    under the topic of [SATA Disk] which mentions >>
    "Some: Solid State Drive (SSD) / SATA 3.0Gb/s, 2.5" wide, 7mm or 9.5mm high, upgradable
    Some: Hard Disk Drive / SATA 3.0Gb/s, 2.5" wide, 7mm or 9.5mm high"
    i hope that this answers your query

    Recently I have Updated my Laptop from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 single language pack.
    Once Installation is completed, I faced problem in starting Dolby Audio driver, I have installed the latest driver and it got resolved.
    Next came the problem in Bluetooth device in accepting files from my mobile, then done the same. Installed latest driver and it too got resolved. But still i am facing the message "Unknown device" in Lenovo Support Center in Device Manager.
    I have checked in Device Manager. But no device is indicated in yellow color.
    Please let me know, how to identify which device is causing this problem and how to rectify this.
    My Laptop details:
    Model : G580
    Product ID : 20150
    Let me know if you want more details.
    Thanks,

    Hi Yigit,

  • Lenovo System Update and Lenovo Support RSS Feed (X60)

    Okay. I got Lenovo System Update (version 5, for Windows 7) and it did not offer me any Critical updates. Only Recommended and Optional ones. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, so I don't want to install Recommended and Optional updates, only the Critical ones if there is any.
    On the other hand I also have the Lenovo Support RSS Feed. But they bring me to dead links. For my X60 the two drivers in my RSS Feed are
    ThinkVantage Access Connections patch for Access Connections Version 5.95 for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-...
    Patch module for Power Manager for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), Vista (32-bit, 64-bit) - ThinkPad -
    Both are totally dead links.
    The tricky part is that there is absolutely no correlation between the two: totally different drivers in the System Update and the RSS Feed.

    Hello both,
    SU has been discontinued because old SU version wouldn´t work with SP2.
    Refer to this thread in at the ThinkVantage board regarding this situation and possible solutions
    and ask your questions there, please.

  • Fixed - bent connector - S12 ION poor wireless performanc​e - Lenovo support no help

    Hi forum,
    I received my Thanksgiving deal S12 ION last week.  The size and format are perfect, the overall performance just what it needs to be, but the wireless performance is unacceptable.  I work for IBM, and have a T60P work laptop and two Y430 laptops, all of which have perfect full bars of wireless signal throughout my house.  But this S12 ION has only three bars in my office next to the wireless G router, and only one to two bars in the next room.  From any other room in the house I cannot connect. 
    I verified that I have the most recent wireless drivers installed.  The ones it shipped with are the most recent on the Lenovo support site.
    I called Lenovo technical support.  After waiting on hold, I was connected, then dropped after another 30 minute on hold.  The second time I called in, I was told I needed to turn on the wireless using the switch.  I informed the tech that I was already connected and that the issue was poor signal.  He then suggested removing Lenovo readycomm, but that is not installed on this S12.  Finally he told me that this is just a netbook, not a laptop and that if I do not like it I should return it. 
    I am so angry with this poor support I would return it immediately, if it were not for the 15% return fee.
    Does anyone else have wireless issues?  Am I mistaken about this being a nice wireless connectivity tool?
    At the price I paid, $399, I can dump this on eBay, but I am seriously disappointed.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Forum,
    I opened the wireless card slot after reading in other netbook forums that some have had loose antenna connectors. At first I thought that was what I had as one of the leads, the black one, was not seated. It turns out that the connector on the wireless card was bent open.
    See pics:

    [IMG]http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff283/skier757/​Lenovo%20S12%20wireless%20card/PICT0002.jpg[/IMG]
    I bent the ring connector closed, reattached the antenna lead, and now I have great signal. Thought you would be interested in the pics.
    I am going to call Lenovo and ask them to replace the wireless card, as there is no guarantee the connector is not damaged, but it is working fine for now.

    I like to think of the cell comments like post-it notes. If you use them sparingly, they're very useful. If you use them all the time (or use comments in every cell) it's unlikely that they will be as effective.
    With regards attaching a document, I think the same can be said.
    With regards supporting detail, it always strikes me that if you need more detail within a given cell, that the system should be accommodating this through component child members, rather than a mix of some cells containing supporting detail and others not. I understand that it's quite nice functionality to have though, and looks good when demo'ing.
    I think the main take away from this is that every time you show the comments etc to people the first question you get is "Can you report all the comments for a given time period?" and the answer is of course unfortunately "Not easily using a supported method".
    Just my thoughts...

  • Planning Application - Supporting Details

    Hi,
    We deleted around 4000 members from our planning application and later realised that the few members have budget values tagged to them and also supporting details are included for few of the members. Now we would like to bring back those members to our application. Could you please suggest the best method to bring back those members and the associated supporting details. We donot want to restore the entire the entire application. Is there a way to restore only that particular dimension and its members and the supporting details associated with them. If yes, could anyone of you let me know the process. Our relational DB is SQL 2005.
    Request your help for the closure
    Thanks,

    Assuming you have a backup of your SQL database somewhere (this would be the Planning repository), the following code will extract Supporting Detail:
    Supporting Detail
    SELECT
         "Plan Type" = P.TYPE_NAME,
         "Scenario" = O1.OBJECT_NAME,
         "Account" = O2.OBJECT_NAME,
         "Entity" = O3.OBJECT_NAME,
         "Month" = O4.OBJECT_NAME,
         "Version" = O5.OBJECT_NAME,
         "Year" = O6.OBJECT_NAME,
         "Activities" = O7.OBJECT_NAME,
         "Employee" = O8.OBJECT_NAME,
         "Value" = I.VALUE,
         "Position" = I.POSITION,
         "Generation" = I.GENERATION,
         "Operator" = I.OPERATOR,
         "SD" = I.LABEL
    FROM HSP_COLUMN_DETAIL D
         INNER JOIN HSP_PLAN_TYPE P
              ON D.PLAN_TYPE = P.PLAN_TYPE
         INNER JOIN HSP_COLUMN_DETAIL_ITEM I
              ON D.DETAIL_ID = I.DETAIL_ID
         INNER JOIN HSP_OBJECT O1
              ON D.DIM1 = O1.OBJECT_ID
         INNER JOIN HSP_OBJECT O2
              ON D.DIM2 = O2.OBJECT_ID
         INNER JOIN HSP_OBJECT O3
              ON D.DIM3 = O3.OBJECT_ID
         INNER JOIN HSP_OBJECT O4
              ON D.DIM4 = O4.OBJECT_ID
         INNER JOIN HSP_OBJECT O5
              ON D.DIM5 = O5.OBJECT_ID
         INNER JOIN HSP_OBJECT O6
              ON D.DIM6 = O6.OBJECT_ID
         LEFT OUTER JOIN HSP_OBJECT O7
              ON D.DIM7 = O7.OBJECT_ID
         LEFT OUTER JOIN HSP_OBJECT O8
              ON D.DIM8 = O8.OBJECT_IDYou'll want to modify it a bit to get it to work with your dimensions -- this is from an old project of mine.
    I have never tried to write Supporting Detail back in -- I know it has been done, just not by me. I would tread very carefully and only do it on a test database and be really, really, really sure you've got everything working just so. You could easily blow up your data.
    Another approach might be to restore that Planning app backup (making sure you made a backup of the current app), and then use LCM to export out Supporting detail, and then suck it back into the app that no longer has it.
    ^^^I like that idea a lot more even if it is a bit more tedious.
    With either approach, you are going to have to sync the Essbase data to the SD data -- hopefully you have a good Essbase backup as well.
