Lenovo T410 backlight not functioning

I have Lenovo T410, and I've been using it regularly. I usually keep it hibernating when I'm not using it, and I just tried to power it on today and the backlight doesn't work. When I hold the screen up to the light, I can still my desktop.
It looks like a hardware issue, is there anything I can try to do to fix this?

there is no inverter.
yeah I know its called led sub card its just easier to call it an inverter some folks don't know about the sub card but know about the inverter & it does about the samething it changes the current to what the backlight/ led needs

Lenovo T410 does not power on due to keyboard / power button issue.

I have a Lenovo T410 which has been exhibiting keyboard issues (several keys have failed and I've been using an external keyboard).
It seems that the keyboard failure is affecting the powering up of the machine. Occasionally it will turn on, most of the time it will not.
I've submitted an eService request for this and the status is "Solution Provided" but the "SO Status (as shown on ICSS)" is "On Hold" "Order on hold, pending update" (per: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?DocID=HT074324 ). This has been the case since the 28th of last month.
I've confirmed it is a keyboard failure by swapping a keyboard from a T420 (which, ironically, had a service request fulfilled fine around the same time).
I have two questions:
i) most urgently, is there *any* way I can power the machine on without using the keyboard?
ii) what do I do about the service request's "On Hold" status? this machine is out of action and key to our work.

i) There are three ways to power on the laptop without the power button.
a) Use a dock.
b) Check under BIOS menu (if possible) under power, to see whether you have something called 'Power On with AC Attach' feature. If you do enable it, and save then exit. What this do, is that it will power on the laptop when you connect the power plug into the laptop.

c) remove the CMOS battery, and power on the laptop by attaching the power adapter to the laptop.

Lenovo T410s ultrabay not powering hard drive properly?

Hello, I got a Lenovo T410s which I have been buying parts for here and there, and since I can't afford an msata SSD, I got an ultrabay hard drive adapter off ebay.
The problem is, for some reason it is not powering up the hard drive properly. I beleive it worked a couple tims using a 320gb seagate drive, I just purchased a 1TB hitachi drive, and it start to power up then power to it cuts off.
I set the CD performance to high and it did not fix anything, what is going on?
This is the one I bought. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/New-9-5mm-SATA-Optical-Bay-HDD-Hard-Disk-Adapter-Caddy-Lenovo-T410s-T420s-T43...

Ok, I tried something else, I have a 90w power supply, and a 66w power supply (for the x200 I have, though the x200 works fine on either). It always seemed to work on the 66w, and it was on and off on the 90 watt, so I swapped where I have them, it's currently on the 65 watt and it worked fine from the get go.
I have to see if anything changes, but it seems to be working, I don't get how the power supply is affecting it though, unless since it is older, maybe it is noisier and somehow that is messing it up? It doesn't make any sense to me, I wish I had an oscilliscope to look at the power coming out of each.
Like I said no guarantee, but it always worked with the 65w, so something is strange with the other one. IT did have a tendency to heat up a fair bit.

Lenovo b570 Backlight not working

Hi all,
Had a few problems with my b570 (think the hard drive might be screwed)
But tried to wipe it all and start from fresh, and after not being very successful left it alone for a few months.
Im trying to have another go at fixing it now and the backlight on the screen is not working, there is no real reason for it to have stopped working as it hasnt been moved in months, the screen is still working but is very dark if i get real close i can see what it says.
do i need to replace the whole screen or is there something i can do to maybe get it working again?
Thanks

hi robk87,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
If you get the no backlight issue after you turn ON the computer and adjusting the brightness (via Fn + up/down arrow) have no effect then you may need to replace the entire screen.(looking at the spare parts, the B570 uses a LED-backlit LCD display - these types of display doesn't have an inverter which powers up the backlight).

Alternatively, you can try using an external monitor and connect it to the VGA or HDMI port (selected models) to get a display.
Hope you get the computer fixed soon.

GE70 2OE keyboard backlight not functional

Hello! I just recently bought a MSI GE70 2OE from Newegg. It was advertised as having a blue backlight.
However, after installing windows 7 and updating all the drivers using LiveUpdate, the keyboard will not light up.
The other function keys work fine, but when I press the Fn+- or Fn++ the keyboard does nothing. I also noticed some people mention that it would take them to the dragoon army website, but it has never done that for me. It simply does nothing.
I downloaded the windows 7 bios update for this laptop from the MSI site, and used the installer.
it popped up a CMD window and did some stuff then told me to restart. I did and no change
I also reset the ECM or whatever by shutting down by holding the power button till it shut off, removing the battery and power cord and letting it sit for an hour. overkill on the hour i know but i fell asleep waiting on it XD
anyways, ive searched and searched and can't find any other things to try.
ideas?
Thanks
Dusty

It seems MSI tech team is doing good service here.
Of course we customers will feel worry free once the trouble come to us.
Just come here and post the question, and we'll get satisfied!

I do not know how to transfer my Photoshop elements from old Dell Vostro 1720 to new Lenovo T410. please help

I am askink for help in moving my photoshop elements 10 from Dell Vostro 1720 laptop to my newer Lenovo T410 lap

You do not move Adobe applications, you install them, so get the installation files and install them like you originally did.
PSE 10, 11 - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/photoshop-elements-10-11-downloads.html
You will also need your serial number to activate the new installation. If you did not keep a record of it you might be able to find it in your Adobe account online if you registered the program.
You are allowed to have two installations activated so if you wish to you can keep the software working on the old machine. If you wish to remove it or disable it, you need to deactivate it (Help -> Deactivate).

Lenovo T410s recovery windows 7 failed to start after the system instalation.

I've got a problem with the laptop Lenovo T410s. I've put the new HDD on it (tried even the same with a different HDD too), and started to instal WIN 7 64-bit from the recovery disks. I used to do it many times so far with different Lenovo laptops without any problems. But this time, a while before the end of the instalation (when processing the sdrivebackup.wim) it stops and comes with a statement: " the recovery process has been finished, please ...." (but I see that the progres bar is far awayfrom 100%) , and finishes the instalation, reboot the computer and it comes the screen with the statement from the Windows Boot Manager:
"Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem (...)
File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: The selected entrycould not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt"
I read a lot about the ways to solve similar problems, but they don't work on my case. The strange thing is, that I can instal WIN 8 or WIN7 from regular Windows instalation disks (not from Lenovo recovery, but from normal universal Windows instalation disks).
As I told before, I tried it in 2 different HDD disks with the same effect. It looks that the recovery instalation stops before the end without instaling some files which are missing later during starting the system.
Anybody can help me with that problem?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It doesn't quite sound like it based on your reported error messages, but are you trying to do recovery to an advanced format HDD? (one with 4k-byte sectors)
I ran into that issue on a T400. The recovery media would run to completion then error out - with a somewhat different message IIRC.
There weren't appropriate drivers for an AF drive, and I couldn't find a solution. There's no way (that I know of) to inject drivers into recovery media the way one can with install media.
If this is an AF drive issue the only way to get around it may be to install to a non-AF drive (usually a small-ish one) and then clone to your new drive.
I may be totally off in left field here - just tossing it out as a possibility.

T430 Bluetooth not functioning well

I had a T430 for half year, recently the bluetooth not functioning well.
when I try to open a connected device(mobile phone), the device control window will show up for just 2 second, then turn off. If i keep trying for a couple times, and error message will show up: "This operation failed to initialize......."
I had been using the WII remote for a while before this happened. It still can connect new device correctly.
I have try uninstall the driver,
For that 2 second I can see the control window has correct information for the mobile phone,
Has anyone had the similar issue?

yes i had something similar happen once. I tried to uninstall the bluetooth driver and reinstall the latest version of the bluetooth driver. That worked for a while, then it failed again. In the end i had to reinstall the OS from scratch, which solved the issue (i also had some other driver issues, and decided that reinstall the OS was the fastest way to resolve it).

Hi Ritesh,
If WiFi is important to you, don't under any circumstances upgrade to V11. I can not get the phone to get the IP settings automatically (i.e. via DHCP) in any WiFi network, regardles of the security or lack thereof.

Lenovo T410 & 4337 dock = display blackouts

I've got a Lenovo T410 computer. I just got a 4337 docking station, and I'm having a dispay problem that is making it almost unusable.
Every so often, for no discernable reason, the image on my external monitor blacks out. After a second or two it reappears. These blackouts often happen in clusters of three or four, a few seconds apart; then the display works normally for as long as half an hour.
This is at least partly a software problem, not a hardware problem. I know this because when the display reappears, the desktop and inactive windows reappear first, leaving a black hole where the active window should be. A half second or so later, the active window is restored. Sometimes the order is reversed: the active window reappears first, followed by the rest of the display. In either case, there is no way it could happen if the problem were purely hardware.
I've noticed a few other bits of weirdness associated with USB ports. When I connect a USB device while the computer is docked, that often causes the monitor to black out momentarily. The first time I used the dock I attached a smartphone to one of the USB ports before turning the computer on. As soon as I turned it on the smartphone buzzed and flashed its screen, then the monitor's image blacked out; when the monitor's image reappeared the phone buzzed again. This continued until I unplugged the phone.
The whole setup is: a T410 running Windows 7 Professional; 4337 docking station; monitor attached to the docking station by a DisplayPort-to-HDMI cable.

Windows 7 Installation on my Formatted Drive in Lenovo T410

HI
I have a Lenovo T410 laptop, in which I have formatted my hard drive completely including all default drives. Now I have a single partition, when I try to install the windows 7 with the recovery CDs which I have created when my laptop was working correctly. But it will boot with that DVD but stops at the screen "Loading Windows". Is there any settings I need to change before installing windows 7 to the bios or something. I tried with the other Windows 7 DVD from Microsoft MSDN, even though i am not successfull.
Actually after deleted all the drives I have installed Windows XP and it was successful and when I try to install Windows 7 it is not going through. Please anyone suggest me any tips on how to install Windows 7 on my hard drive. Are there any other settings I need to chanage?
Thanks.

Sorry, I figured you had already used that because you had already removed the partitions.
There are several versions available on the Ultimate Boot CD.
You will need to download it and use a utility like imgburn to burn the image to a CD.
The instructions on how to do that are here.
As to using the FDISK utility in the UBCD, there are simple menu's that follow the list of utilities on the page that I posted the link to above. Once you actually pick the FDISK utility, just follow the instructions. If you can't get it to work, let me know which FDISK utility you are using and I will put together some instructions for you.
If that cannot find the harddrive, then it sounds as if there is a harddrive issue.

Unable to connect the iPhone 4 to a Lenovo T410 laptop?

Dear readers,
First of all, thanks for opening the topic
Well here we go: I got a new iPhone 4 which I would like to pair with my business lenovo T410 windows 7 laptop: I can't manage to do it.
- The iPhone does not find the laptop, but the laptop finds the iPhone.
- When trying to pair from the laptop, the phone does not react and the mecanism fall in a time out after a while.
- Tried the same operation with a friend's iPhone: no problem. After few seconds the iPhone of my friend shows a request for entering the paraing code: it works.
- We both have the same ios version (latest).
- My iPhone paires well with other laptops and other bluetooth devices (till now, it's the first trouble I encounter).
- The phone seems just not to see this laptop in particular.
I tried updating the phone without success. I don't understand where to act to solve this.
Does somebody know where to look at? or how to fix this issue?
Many thanks uys
With my best regards,
Z3R0C00l1500

Thanks for your response!
Well, first about the reason: as said, I've a business laptop and my purpose is to synchronise business contacts, mails (if possible, not mandatory) and most important synchronise the calendar and meetings. I can do it with a nokia phone without problem but it's not the goal to take 2 phones with me just for that...
About the faisability, it should be possible I think. As the purpose is not file transfer but synchronise with LotusNotes (business mail client) on the laptop.
Anyway, the problem is just, I think, a matter of connectivity in particular with my iPhone because with a colleague's iPhone it connects.
Many thanks for your answer
Unfortunettly, I didn't manage to solve it till now.
With kind regards,
Fabrice
