Lenovo T520 Debugging Help

I recently wiped the HDD of my T520 and installed Arch from scratch from a thumb drive (side note: it's been a while since I did a fresh install and I found the new method really great). About a week later (2 days ago), I ran a system update (-Syu) and updated several packages, linux among them. Seeing that, I rebooted. After seeing the BIOS stuff and selecting to boot to Arch (I don't have it auto-select, even though I only have one partition), the screen goes black and nothing ever happens. The Wifi light turns on, but the HDD read light doesn't. I booted from my install media and tried to see if the systemd journal said anything helpful, but the logs look like they never picked up after rebooting after my latest update. My next thought was the chroot and run another system update. I updated linux again, but still no boot. During both updates, the output indicated that new image creation was successful.
Any ideas on how to begin debugging this?
FWIW, I'm using efibootmgr to boot and I see that it has had issues with kernel upgrades in the past (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=156670&p=1), but this machine never had 3.6 or 3.7 on it (the earliest still in the cache is 3.10.3 and the latest is 3.10.7; I've never cleared the cache).

After 5 days of frustrations of how to try to identify the cause of "AC plugged in but not charging" message.My Lenovo 3000V100 has suddenly started recharging.At one moment it recharges up to 99% and stops recharging, at times it just shows 3 % remaining and stops recharging and now its showing 100% fully charged.
I dont understand this, whats a turn around to this?
Also, are there any drivers for download -IntelWin DVD drivers for this 3000V100 running on Windows Vista/media drivers.My hard disk was formatted, and i never created any recovery disc.I have at least re-installed few other drivers though.

Lenovo t520 running hot

Hey was wanting to get some input from other users with this laptop. I have the lenovo t520 with nvidia optimus. My concern is the cpu is running really hot. The max temp for the core I5 is 100 degrees celsius. Under load my cpu is running at 98C. Was wondering if i should be conserned or if this is normal for these laptops. I havent had any shutdowns from overheating but I do get a lot of micro studders from the cpu throtteling to control the heat. Since my laptop is out of warranty I cant send it in for repairs without paying out the, well you know.
I was thinking about using software to make a custom fan speed plan but there doesnt seem to be a program that can actaully control the fans speed. Another option would be to upgrade the thermal paste to some artic silver 5 still got a tube laying around somewhere. Thanks for any input guys.

Hi shoted45,
It wouldn't be a bad idea to clean the dust out of it and change out the thermal paste.
Here's your Hardware Maintenance Manual . Page 89 shows how to take out the thermal assembly.

Lenovo T520 Gaming Upgrades

Hello everyone, I have a Lenovo T520 with the following specs:
Intel i7-2720QM (2.2Ghz Quad Core)
4GB DDR3 1333Mhz RAM
NVIDIA 4200M 1GB Discrete Graphics
500GB HD
I am awaiting the release of Diablo 3 and am slightly worried about my laptop's gaming performance. First off I have an extra DIMM slot so I was thinking about adding additional RAM if needed, I ran Crucial scan and it says I can run RAM speeds 1600Mhz, read around and places have said the max for this model is 1333Mhz so I could used that cleared up. Also, I am worried mainly about my GPU performance, I know the 4200M is a business model GPU and may have hard time with the application, is there anyway to upgrade the GPU in this model or is it part of the motherboard? Or do I even need an upgrade, Diablo 3 suggest GeForce GTX 260 GPU as the base model. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I just went back into the BIOS and looked at the options list. Intel HD, Discrete & Nvidia Optimus. I don't know the logic behind this but Nvidia is a discrete graphics module. However, with the Nvida option (which is the 3rd) I have both display adapters showing in device manager. No set the DISCRETE, I have only the Nvidia 4200M (one graphics adapter). I booted loading detected new hardware, loaded drivers (apparenty not the same as Optimus mode) and came up in very low res. After finishing it needed another boot and in HiRes. Benchmark is now 5.2 for Aero from 4.6 a big jump but the Intel HD 3000 should have been higher in my opinion and the 5.2 in nothing spectacular. I've seen other systems in stores with dedicated graphic doing 5.9 easily including the AMD A8 APU system much higher. This is not the best video chipset for a T520 grade notebook. I never heard it used before, G550M & G555M yes.
I wonder why the ThinkPad support techs don't know this. I've been in IT support systems for 2 decades and if I had my hands on this and supported it I would know that and light years more. It appear they're merely script flowchart techs speaking english.
At least I can now use the power of the video. In the dual display adapter setup I am not able to control when the system should use discrete graphics which is wrong.
Thanks for you NOTE earlier on the BIOS settings suggestion.

Sluggish Performance & Audio Problems in Lenovo T520

I have experienced strange problems with my Lenovo T520 (specifications: i7, 6GB RAM, I can post detailed configuration). The problems are:
The audio quality is noisy. What I find strange is the audio quality for the same song worsens when play in VLC media player (more noise) v/s when played in Windows Media Player
The performance is sluggish and the system freezes when moved. What I mean is if I am watching a movie and lift the laptop from one place to another. The movie freezes while moving & audio stops. Once stable again the video and audio synch up again
Trackpad unresponsive: The trackpad get unresponsive at times, but the Trackpoint is working fine.
Could you post a solution to any of the problems?

For the sluggishness....
(1) Make sure the power cord is plugged in. I know...sounds dumb, but I had the same problem with my new T520 and I saw a thread on here stating that Lenovo thought it would be a great idea to make your new T-Series laptop run slow when on battery.
(2) Closely inspect the "Power Manager" profile you're using. I noticed that even the "Maximum Performance" (or whatever it's called) profile was set to NOT best use the CPU. In Power Manager, click "Advanced" at the top to go from "Basic mode" to "Advanced mode", then click the profile you want to use from the vertical list on the far left. Then on the right side, expand the first drop-down category called "Performance" or something like that. Now there will be two columns under that category...battery on the left and AC power on the right. On the AC power column set the drop-down box to the "Maximum Turbo" setting.

Lenovo t520 screen going dark

My lenovo t520 just came back from the repair center to get a new motherboard and I have started noticing a weird issue with the screen. Whenever I go on a website that is primarily dark (like the bckground is black), the screen gets quite dark. And then when it goes back to another screen (like where it is priarily white) the screen is alot darker. After a while the screen gets brighter slowly. I checked the brightness controls and they are always on full bightness through this whole thing.
Is there some auto screen brightness efficancy system i do not know of or is my screen just broken?

Reset the NVRAM/PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

Photomerge bombs in Photoshop CS5 on my Lenovo T520

Hi All:
I have a Lenovo T520 and when I attempt to run Photomerge, my Photoshop CS5 terminates immediately. I have run the same thing on my workstation and Photomerge operated properly. Any suggestions?

Photomerge loves to use a LOT of RAM and disk resources.
Have you tried stitching a smaller image?
Have you tried changing the amount of RAM you allow Photoshop to use?
Do you have plenty of scratch disk space? I've seen a Photomerge of a 150 megapixel panorama take in excess of 200 gigabytes of scratch space on the scratch drive.

Lenovo U410 Urgent Help Will Not Turn On

Hello,
Firstly i would like to thank anyone reading this post and taking the time out of their day to try and help my problem.
I have a Lenovo U410 Ultrabook i've had my Laptop for around 1-2 years now and i have kept it in a very good condition there have been no issues with it. About 1 Week ago i was using my laptop left my room for about 30 minutes to have a shower and upon returning i saw that my Laptop was not charging i unplugged the charger from the laptop and place it back in nothing happened. so i turned off my laptop and unplugged the charger from the wall socket. since then i have not been able to turn my laptop back on i have tried but the led's flash twice when i tried to turn it back on. i have changed the fuse in my charger about 3 times with new fuses all 3AMP required and there is no difference at first i thought it was a problem with the charger but now im thinking otherwise and i'm quite worried. After searching around the internet for a fix i have pressed the power button for 30 seconds and the leds blinked 3 times and after trying various methods to turn it back on it has not been succesful i have even uplugged the battery and plugged it back in after removing the back cover. i have no warranty left as it expired and i was not able to renew it. if you have had any experience with similiar problems or any suggestions i would be very interested to hear what you think the next step for me would be. i dont have much money to invest into this laptop but i am prepared to spend some money if need be.
Thank you for reading my extremely long post,
Your's faithfully

Web-Cam does not work on Lenovo G480, PLEAS HELP!!

Hello,
I have a Lenovo G480 (20165), and my built-in Web-Cam is not working.
When I enable it by pressing Fn+Esc the little light by the Web-Cam turns on, then shuts off after a second.
So I downloaded the Lenovo Easy Capture, and when I open the software, I get a message saying "Failed To Open Camera".
And when I turn on my laptop, the little light comes on for a short moment, then the light shuts off.
I don't know what to do, It's a brand-new laptop and I've never been able to get the Web-Cam to work, not even on Skype.
I would REALLY appreciate the help. Thank you!

Have you installed camera drivers from the us support site? Try reinstalling them

Lenovo Tablet 2 Installation Problems - Help would be GREATLY appreciated as Lenovo WILL NOT HELP.

Hi everyone. I've been pulling my hair out with this and I'm just about at my breaking point after 15 some hours of messing with this but I thought I would give it one last shot.
I have a Lenovo Tablet 2 that originally came with Windows 8 and later was upgraded via the store to 8.1. When I went to do a complete format and re-install it asked me for media. This product does not come with media. I figured the worst thing was that I would have to go the long way and install Windows without the recovery partition and reinstall all the drivers manually. Boy was I wrong. I booted to my UEFI enabled USB Windows 8.1 installer stick which was created using the new Mediacreationtool that Microsoft released to make either an ISO or USB stick. Knowing this is UEFI only (more on that later), I downloaded the ISO and created the USB stick using RUFUS. That booted fine and i blew away all the partitions and started the install. Install goes fine until the very last step and says "windows could not update the computer's boot configuration". The end. Game over. I can't get past this. I've tried the following:
1. Created a DaRT disc and did a complete clean of the drive
2. tried a Windows 10 Disc - same thing
3. Tried to edit the BCD using bcdedit command (more on that later) and nothing.
I've probably done a half dozen other random things and I'm still back at the same position here. The big issue with this device is that it is 32BIT UEFI only BIOS. Terrible to work with because everything considers UEFI to be a 64bit only function so there isn't much that I can even get to boot.
Back to BCD Edit. Anything I try to do just gives me the result of "The boot configuration data store could not be opened. The volume for a file has been externally altered so that the opened file is no longer valid.". I cannot createstore, edit the store, or do anything with it.
Again, i'm at wits end here. I contacted Lenovo and it's out of warranty so they told me to pound sand. I asked them just for a recovery media which every device should come with and **bleep** the OEMs for not doing that aymore and they told me to go pound the same mound of sand. Help would be GREATLY appreciated. This thing is slowly walking it's way to the trash can. It's a mental thing at this point now and I have to get this working. Please help. Thank you.

Yup, we had to do a clean install and same issue nothing will work after a stock clean install of windows 8.1 pro or 8 pro or 8n or 8.1n or any 8-1 for that mater we tried 6 loads with same issue on the IO file for the atom CPU Chipset...When you try to download the drivers from there site for the IO drivers and install it stop there and does not work with there Leveno drivers and if out of warentee they do not even care if there own leveno drivers for 8.1 do not work with 8.1 for the IO drivers on Leveno download site...When we called Microsoft they even sugest getting another tablet from another better supported MFG. WOW I own 4 Leveno products and almost got a new tablet a few nights ago but will not get any more leveno products till I research the issues they have with stock roms! Reinstalls should be much more friendly and updates should be listed correctly on the web site...They do not say it is a ported win8.0 frankinstien windows load when you buy their tablet. But they should say it is kinda windows 8.0 almost and that only there usb key will let you reaload the hack-up windows the tablet needs.

Please help.

You Can debug a SAP Script by activating debugger in two ways
1.In SE71->Menu->Utilities->Activate Debugger, then debugger will be get activated and when your print program is executing Script Debugger will be in active and you can proceed with your debugging.
2. Goto se38-> RSTXDBUG ->Execute this same as going thru in se71-> Menu, now debugger will be activated.
for details refer this link:

Paid debugging help

I'm nearing the end of a deadline for a project (tomorrow)
that has proven to be too much for me to handle on my own in the
time allowed. I'm still new to Flex and I'm not able to debug some
of the issues as quickly as I'd like. If anyone can provide some
help on this I'm willing to pay for your services. I have a project
posted on Elance for further infromation:
http://www.elance.com/c/rfp/main/jobInfo.pl?jobid=14566430&catId=10216&ajax=2

As we may wait for a long time before seeing such a tool if we ever do, I will describe my own tip.
I never build long formulas in a single task.
I build components in contiguous cells then, when every component behaves correctly, I gather them in a single formula.
It's an efficient time saver and it helped me to keep some hair on my head

Debugging help required

Hi,
Am new to webdynpro. I have created a simple webdynpro application and now i want to debugg it.
but however , In the sap j2ee engine when i set the debugging status of the server to ON, and refresh the server the server does not seem to be running properly. yello colour comes on the server instead of green.
can anyone help on this?
Regards,
Rashmi.

Hi Rashmi,
When you set the debugging status of the server to ON, it takes some time to restart the server.
So, check after sometime, it would show status as green.
And then go to debug option, there choose debug as..
one wizard appears there configure your appication for debugging.
Then click on debug button.Your debugging starts.
Don't forget to put break points.
