Lenovo Thinkpad T410 got errors with Fingerprint sensor device! So frustrating!

I have just bought a new Lenovo Thinkpad T410 2518-FAA from one of main agencies of Lenovo in my country. The new-buy laptop was said to be totally new, i.e. it was not a re-furbished, and I actually checked for manything to confirm the real status of this laptop. However, when I bought it back to my house, a serious problem appeared. At the laptop store, I did not have enough time to check the Fingerprint device, thus I skipped to check it. When I came back home, the Fingerprint sensor error of this new-buy laptop completely drived me crazy!!! I installed the Fingerprint software of Lenovo, but this software continuously reported errors: "Can not enroll users, can not update passport, and can not find fingerprint sensor device." I have tried uninstalled and reinstalled this software many times, and already checked for the latest version of this software, it was Thinkvantage Fingerprint sofware 5.9.3 for Win 7-32 bit. My operation system is Win 7-32 bit. But these errors still appeared again and again. I already checked the status of TouchChip Fingerprint Coprocessor in Biometric Devices, uninstalled then re-installled this device, and it showed that this device was working properly and up-to-date, and I already unchecked the option "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power", but all of my efforts was in vain!!! These errors still appeared and it drives me crazy! Up to now I had been unable to enroll my fingerprint to set up the fingerprint reader! These 3 errors just kept prompting in front of my eyes! Another problem is that the laptop can transfer files to my Nokia E51 mobile via Bluetooth, but I could not make the reverse transfer for a file from this mobile to laptop! Oh, I am very disappointed about Lenovo now! Inside the manufacture box that carried the laptop, there are just some instruction guides without any installation CD for installing Thinkvantage softwares... I had to go to the website of Lenovo and find a bunch of links of softwares that I tried many times but I still did not know how to donwload... I had to donwload the Thinkvantage Fingerprint software from another website... Please help me, guys! Did you encounter the same problem with me? May you please instruct me how to solve these problems! Thank you a lot!

hey Moon_Light,
i would suggest uninstalling all ThinkVantage software, then go to http://support.lenovo.com ; download all drivers for you unit and install.
at the same time do a bios update as well.

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!

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!

The cursor freezes when I pinch zoom using the Lenovo Thinkpad T410 trackpad while Firefox is open.

This happens only on Firefox, not other browsers. In Firefox, when the cursor freezes after a pinch zoom, the track point still works.

HP psc 2050 unable to instal on lenovo thinkpad

Please can someone tell me how to instal an old HP psc 2050 J510c onto a Lenovo Thinkpad T410.

Hello @moffat,
It is my understanding that you are not sure how to install your old HP psc 2050 J510 onto your Lenovo Thinkpad T410 that is running windows 7. I would like to help you with this.
I would start by running the HP Printer Install Wizard for windows 7 and 8. If all goes as planned, it should do most of the work for you.
If it does not work, then please let me know. We can then go through the installation the "old fashioned way".

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!

I guess I wont be buying Lenovo again

Thinkpad T410 HDD upgrade

Hello,
I'm about to upgrade HDD on my thinkpad T410 and I can't decide what to buy. So, I need to decide between a WD Scorpio Black 750GB 7200RPM or a WD scorpio Blue 1 TB and 5400 rpm. So can you please help me decide which one is better for my computer Thanks.

Between the two, I would opt for the Scorpio Black. I replaced my original T510 HDD with a Scorpio Black. Then, I replaced it with a Seagate Momentus XT hybrid and it really improved performance, especially boot/load time.
I have now replaced the Momentus XT with a Samsung 830 SSD, and it is even faster, but only by about 10 seconds on boot/load.
Boot time to fingerprint/PW entry with the XT was about 38 seconds I sent the used XT to a friend, and the comment back was "Wow!"

Disappointed with ThinkPad T410 ( Angry and frustrated consumer!)

To everyone who is thinking of buying a ThinkPad,
ThinkPad is always my first choice for laptops as it is one of the best engineered PCs in the world , with remarkable quality and standards that no other Windows PCs is able to offer. I have been a Think series user for a very long time and have not had the thought of changing to another brand until now!
Last year, I bought a ThinkPad T410 as I was to further my education and a laptop was an essential product for my course that I enrolled in. I was awed by this ThinkPad as it was said to provide good after sales service and quality built machines. However, the good old ThinkPad conception do really stop there!
For the past 1 year, I have been through many unhappy moments with this product as Lenovo did not deliver what it has promised.The laptop that i bought give me lots of problems and have been through the trouble of servicing this laptop 5 times! Unbelievable! I have paid for a premium that i did not receive and warranty does not stay true to it! DO NOT BELIEVE THEIR WARRANTY!
I am really upset by the fact that whenever I called for assistance through the phone , the onsite engineer will always tell us to repair the product ourselves. Not being a qualified technician, I have always make it worst and the recent experience was the WORST any customer will get!!
I phone and told the engineers about the problem and the told me to send a screen shot over. I did as I was told and the next day I receive a call again. The engineer told me to keep trying to unlock the latch behind the disc drive myself when the whole disk drive was stuck in the machine. Lo and behold after much struggle, I manage to remove the disk drive, however, the latch sink deeper into the machine! The engineer came today ( 18/05/2011) to take a look at the problem and told my mother that it will cost about $200 to fix it back! I am appalled by such nonsense, utterly upset. My mother who did not know what have happened just said that my friend spoiled it, and the engineer just said that it will then cost $200 to fix it, as it was due to improper maintenance! Unbelievable!
Firstly I have spent so much time and effort to send the screenshot over and you told me to handle the case myself. Now you blame me for improper maintenance??? What sort of rubbish?
Previously , the service centre charged me $32.10 for software reset but the error still persist ( though less occurrence now). I have wait 1.30 hours at the service center just for the engineer to change my biometric as it was not done up properly before returning the machine to me at that time too.
I am now utterly upset and really have all my view changed about Leno as the standard have dropped rather drastically. Engineers and the management seemed to be apathetic towards my plight , that has forced me to think of buying other brand of PC's. Shouldn't I be compensated??? You have wasted a lot of my time and effort and transport cost to go get things done, as you on site warranty does not hold true! I hope ( if possible) a replacement could be made as the machine have failed me from time to time, and wasted a lot of my time and effort.
I hope someone of a higher authority could give me a call to find out more and settle it for me and I hope that such things will not happen again!
With Regards from:
Lim Yong Jie

Hi limyongjie,
I own a T410 and so far so good. However, I'm sorry for what you have been through. I must say that not all laptops are free of bugs.
In regard to the instruction given by engineer, there are occasions whereby a customer can change/tweak something without having engineers to pay a visit. However, if you're not confident at doing that, i suggest to tell engineers that you are not familiar with it, and need assistance from them by coming over to fix it. I'm not pointing fingers but that is just my opinion.
For you current issue, could you provide Serge1410 your details for he can get someone to look into your case. Alright? Thank you.
Best regards,
Cleo

How Come I Only 65.6 GB Free Space and 156 GB Already?: Thinkpad T410

I defraged my computer, removed temporary files, and deleted many files but still only have 65.6 GB Free Space. I'm careful on which websites I use, I use Google safe search and go on anti virus protection approved websites.
I checked my C drive and programs folder has 5.51 GB and Windows folder 27.9 GB. Every other folder in the C drive has much smaller size in KB.
My dad bought my Thinkpad T410 and I always assumed that having around 60 GB Free was normal since he installed programs for me. But I was a little bit sketchy that there was only 60 GB free, but assumed it was normal because of the program files my dad installed. But I realized the program files are too small to take up very much space. I had this labptop for less than two years and had to use my warranty several times for dragging arrow (replaced keyboard) and replace fan multipe times.
How Come I Only 65.6 GB Free Space and 156 GB Already?: Thinkpad T410

Ok.
Not too much there to get excited about.
Do you happen to know how much space is allocated to system restore points? You may have a big allocation that is full if you've been running the machine without cleanup for 2 years. I'm not in front of my pc at this moment, so I can't give the exact steps to check. Bear with me and I'll be back a bit later. In the interim, someone might jump in to continue.
If you're running Firefox, another thing to check is the amount of the cache allocation.
Cheers.

I didn't realize until after the purchase that the ultrabay battery doesn't exist for the T410, which sucks. I do like the layout of the keyboard, speakers, special buttons, and fingerprint scanner better on the T410. The keyboard currently has a flaw that another thread points out. the biggest complaint on my T410 (other than the keyboard issue) is the thickness. Anyway, now these T Thinkpads are fat beasts....and I just have to live with it....or you can pay more for less performance and hard drive storage on the T410s if you want to go back to the thinness.
About the ultra-bay battery issue for anyone whom is considering a T410 and needs the ultra-bay battery: consider up-sizing slightly to a T510, since it does support an ultra-bay battery.
About the keyboard issue: Lenovo released a firmware update to fix this a few days ago and it should no longer be an issue
About the thickness and weight: it's funny, I guess it's all a matter of perspective. My previous laptop was a 3.3 year old Toshiba Qosmio G30, with a 17" 16:10 screen, and it's noticeably much larger in all dimensions and at least 1.5x the weight of my T510 (which is larger and heavier than your T410!). I was literally shocked at how compact and light my T510 is when I unpacked it, and I'm still impressed with its size and weight vs performance. No regrets for me in that category. I just thought I'd throw a bit of the opposite perspective out there for other potential buyers. Now if only they'd release the keyboard bios fix for my T510....

Spearoid,
I also have a T400 and have upgrading to the T410 for the newer processor and the new keyboard. However, I heard that the release for the ultrabay was UNDER the Thinkpad on the bottom side, vs. on the side. Is this true?
Yes this is true. The slider to release the item in the bay is on the underside of the laptop. Still trying to figure out why this would be a big issue for anyone, but maybe that's just me. I've never had a ThinkPad before (nor any laptop with an ultra-bay-like feature) so maybe I just don't realize what I'm missing.

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.

9 cell battery performance on Thinkpad T410

I have just bought new ThinkPad T410 with 9 Cell Lithium-Ion
Power 94 Watts/55++. This battery is advivertised to run for 18 hours, but to my laptop it runs for about 6 hours on a single charge for normal use. what is wrong with my loptop because it has failed to meet my expectationns of all day Computing on a single charge.
this laptop is has 4gb of ram and windows 7 professional 64 bits and is about one week since I bought it. any advice to increase battery performance

the 18 hrs figure require another 9 cells battery slice. Although it is up to, and the manufacturer's battery figure are at most time too idealised.

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.
