Lenovo ThinkPad s431 SSD replacement

Hi, guys! I want to buy Lenovo ThinkPad s431, and I have a question.
Can I change 24GB SSD disk with larger disk (for example 128 or 256 GB)?
Is it necessary to replace regular HDD for this or the laptop has a mSata or 2.5 slot on motherboard?
Thanks!

Lenovo ThinkPad W530 replacement keyboard

Hi,
I am looking to buy a replacement keyboard for my Lenovo ThinkPad W530 notebook.
I'm looking for a US English keyboard.
Can anyone recommend an online retailer? I am having trouble with the Lenovo website itself.
Thankyou,
Steven.

Hey there burrows,
As an option, you can always contact the technical support line and request a parts only order, and order the keyboard directly. To contact the support center you'll need to call 0800-5004618. Make sure you have your serial number, machine type and model number handy when you call. I hope this helps!

Lenovo ThinkPad X131e Replacement Hard Disk Drive Specifications

I have recently been given a Lenovo ThinkPad X131e 3368-2GU. I notice that the internal 320GB 2.5" SATA Seagate Momentus Thin HDD is a slim height 7mm model. I would like to upgrade internal storage to 1TB or more. Do I have to replace this HDD with another 7mm model or will any 2.5" SATA HDD work? Any other replacement HDD requirements of which I should be aware?
Thanks for any assistance!
Solved!

Tryed by myself , the 9.5mm doesn't fit , 7mm works perfectly

New T430 hard drive is bad and Lenovo won't supply replacement preloaded software

Placed order for Lenovo T430 with preloaded Microsoft Office 2010, Adobe Elements, and Adobe Lightroom on 1/13/13. I received the computer in January and have had ongoing problems with it since that time, requiring multiple contacts with tech support. Overall, I could use the product (minus the thinkpad laster bluetooth mouse I also purchased from Lenovo that would not stay connected to the computer) up until this last week, when it would not start without going into the boot menu, but could not get out of the boot menu.
I called tech support, who thought it was the operating system and sent me recovery discs to reinstall the OS. I had help from a computer servicing company who checked my computer and found the hard drive is bad. They have called Lenovo, who are sending the hard drive out to be replaced. However, Lenovo is refusing to replace the preloaded (by Lenovo) software I purchased from them.
Case # A05LT3Q
Tech support says that my account where I registered the product would be able to provide the software. I called customer service about that and spoke with Hason about the problem. He stated that he would have to start a customer advocate case for me. He says he does not yet have a case # for me, but will call me before he leaves at 7pm tonight. I will post that case # when and if I receive it from him.
Am more than frustrated with this case and the problems I am having.

If I remember correctly, the recovery discs should have everything that came with the system. I could be wrong though.

New to forum and opinions on the Lenovo T420 being my first Lenovo Thinkpad?

First off thanks for letting me join. Just wanted to get some opinions from some of the more experienced Lenovo owners and users. I want to pick up the T420 as my first Lenovo Thinkpad. What is the overall verdict on this laptop (Good build quality, reliability issues, or anything else I should be aware of)? I use to own a IBM Thinkpad and just missed the overall layout of the Thinkpad specific look and functionality. To date, the IBM Thinkpad has been my favorite Windows based laptop. Any and all opinions would be deeply appreciated.
May God bless!

I've only had my T420 for a couple of weeks but so far I really like it. I reminds me of a mini version of the W520. My T420 has the i7 processor, NVIDIA Optimus and most of the options. I upgraded the RAM to 16GB and currently have the Intel Series 510 120GB SSD in the primary bay. I am waiting for a Samsung Series 830 SSD to arrive.
No complaints so far. It runs nice, quiet and cool.
If I were going to improve anthing on the machine, it would be the screen. The 1600x900 AUO screen on mine is fair but I can live with it. I bought this machine new on eBay for an excellent price.
I am using the 6 cell battery right now and get a little over four hours of battery life. The 9 cell is quite a bit better but I like the flush lighter 6 cell.
Love the keyboard. The trackpad is fair but I haven't tweaked the Ultranav settings yet. Been using a mouse mose of the time.
I have several ThinkPads and I think the T420 is an excellent balance of power and features. I am comparing it to my X301, T410s, T61p and W510. I added a 34mm USB 3.0 ExpressCard (still testing).
After my experience with the W520 random shutdowns, I won't be totally comfortable with this machine for a couple of months but it's looking really good so far. I am optimistic.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 and Dell U2711 / HDMI?

Hello,
I plan to purchase the Dell U2711 monitor, it has a resolution of 2560 x 1440.
Will my Lenovo ThinkPad X1 handle this over the HDMI port?
Thanks in advance,
Simon

Not thru HDMI, but it will thru the mini-display port. You simply need a mini-display port to full size display port cable, something like this.

Lenovo Thinkpad 8 Wifi driver for Windows 10?

I've installed Windows 10 Technical Preview on my Lenovo Thinkpad 8. It's been working pretty nicely, except for one thing: the Broadcom Wifi card driver (Broadcom BCM4324 Wireless LAN Driver). Since this doesn't work I have to use a USB antenna.
This driver has gotten no update since the release of the Thinkpad 8! I tried running it in "Windows 8 compatibiliy mode" and that still doen't work. Does anŷone know of a possible way to make it work (either with an update, or an older driver in compatibility mode)? Any idea or suggestion (or word from Broadcom) is welcome!

I had the same problem and installed the Win 8.1 version of the driver.
First deinstall the microsoft driver, download the driver from http://support.lenovo.com/<xx>/<xx>/products/tablets/thinkpad-tablet-series/thinkpad-8/?tabName=Down...
replace <xx> by your language code. eg. en (my language code was de)
look for Broadcom BCM4324 Wireless LAN Driver for Windows 8.1 (32-bit) - ThinkPad 8 or (64-bit in case)
Start the installer and you're done.

Lenovo ThinkPad X230 Expresscard Help

I have a Lenovo ThinkPad X230 (which I love dearly) and have a few question about ports and booting. I would first like to verify that the port on the left side of the laptop directly above one of the USB ports is indeed an ExpressCard 54. I have searched the web, but have yet to find a definite answer, and my user manual simply stated "ExpressCard." Furthermore, I would like to know if it is possible to boot an operating system from said port using an ExpressCard 34 SSD (64GB). I have the intention of installing openSUSE 12.3 to the potential SSD and be able to boot from it. I greatly appreciate any help. I would post an image of said port, but I am being told the image file is much too large.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It is Expresscard 54 (5 Gbps max). But it doesn't support booting.

Lenovo Thinkpad T510 Battery?

I recently (about 2 months ago) purchased a Lenovo Thinkpad T510 laptop. Ever since I got it, I have the brightness on 50%, and only use it to surf the internet. My battery life is 2:50 at the maximum.
I have a warrenty for the laptop, could I call in and get another battery for free?
It is quite inconvienent to have to charge and recharge at least twice every day. It makes portability almost impossible.
Solved!

Do you have discrete graphics? If so, it sounds about right for an untweaked system. There are a few tricks to battery life optimization with the NVidia GPU involving PowerMizer.
http://somemorebytes.com/wp/index.php/software/nvpmmanager/
Enable PowerMizer, and use Max power save on battery.
Also put your CPU into the lowest speed in Power Manager's advanced mode (battery only; AC should be adaptive).
Also, defrag.

Обновление Bios lenovo thinkpad x240

Каким образом возможно обновить bios на ноутбуке lenovo thinkpad x240, если в данный момент на нем установлена операционная система семейства linux? Windows ставить назад нет желания вовсе.
Есть ли способы обновления при помощи флешки и загрузки непосредственно в сам bios?
Решено!
Перейти к решению.

Приветствую
возможны, как мне кажется, следующие варианты при использовании флешки:
1. флешер из-под dos
2. загрузиться с LiveCD с Windows и использовать обычную версию флешера
3. флешер из EFI Shell
Не все компоненты есть в составе сборки с образом BIOS на сайте Lenovo, но найти необходимые инструменты для Phoenix/Insyde BIOS не так сложно.
Я не слышал о наличии встроенных средств прошивки в образе BIOS x240.
UPD
но лучше все-таки найти внешний USB DVD привод и использовать штатный метод и соответствующий образ:
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-x-series-laptops/thinkpad-x24...
Это всего-лишь образ .ISO с образом BIOS и флешером. После записи загрузиться с диска и выполнить обновление BIOS.

Many problems on Lenovo ThinkPad Twist

Hi! Yesterday I got my new Lenovo ThinkPad Twist 31,8 cm (12,5 Zoll) Convertible Ultrabook (Intel Core i5 3317U, 1,7GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, 24GB SSD, Intel HD 4000, Touchscreen, Win 8).
At first i was very impressed about the notebook but then I realized, that it has many issues!
I have the following problems:
- no sound - if i want to make the sound to 100% it decreases the volume down to 0% again! Like anyone who wants to joke me! If i press the + volume button on the bottom right of the touchscreen, it cannot even increase the volume because it gets stuck somehow. There's also a window at the top left of the touchscreen, which is always visible (volume control) and i cant close it!
- the onscreen-keyboard doesnt work in all modes
- mouse touchpad doesnt work, only clicking works but no mouse movement!
- the touchscreen works until it has this "no sound" issue. Then I have to tap on everything 3 or more times to open it!
- the windows button under the touchscreen also doesnt work the way it meant to be. Instead it makes the screen darker, then brighter again!?
I have installed all updates what this lenovo-tool wanted to install. It was like 1 GB of updates. I think it even got worse with all the updates...
The main issue may be the no-sound bug. If i want to make it louder it makes it back to 0% volume. Thats really annoying. I hope you can help me, because this would be a very nice laptop but not with so many issues...
Pleeeaase help me!

Hi there,
I recently bought a Thinkpad Twist and I love it. 500GB hard-drive, 24BmSTA and Windows 8.
However, I did have the following problems
touchpad mouse wouldn't work at all - I downloaded an update from the Lenovo site and it is working now although I find it a bit too sensitive for my liking so I need to see if I can change the sensitivity
keyboard suddenly changes so that when I type some keys they behave like shortcuts. I can only rectify this by restarting the laptop - I haven't found a solution for this yet

VMWare ESXi 4.0 on Lenovo Thinkpad W701???

Hello everybody,
Do anyone knows if we can run VMware ESXI 4.0 on the new Lenovo Thinkpad W701, we shall upgrade this machine to 12GBs of RAM and a second HDD (SSD). I've read the most common problems occur with the chipset controller (ICH10) and the NIC.
Does anybody have experience with this?
Thanks
Philippe

Sorry to bring up an old thread - but I Was wondering the same thing. I think this would be an excellent tool for swing migraitons and shrinking ESX disks, etc., especially if ESXi will utilize the onboard RAID1 disks.
