Lenovo Thinkpad T60 / Monitor Issue

When I boot up my computer intermittently the bottom half of the screen is horizontal garbled. I can put the top down to put in hibernate mode and open up and press the on button and most of the time it will fix the problem. Any clues??? Thanks for any info!!!

Since you are a Telephone engineer, dealing with cables and reading manual must be piece of cake for you. Luckily, Lenovo offers a fantastic manual that you follow each step of the way to diassemble every part of the laptop.

Photoshop CS3 doesn't like "Lenovo ThinkPad LCD Monitor" color management profile

When launching Photoshop CS3 Extended, I get a warning:
The monitor profile "Lenovo ThinkPad LCD Monitor" appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software.
[Ignore Profile] [Use Anyway]
If this can be confirmed, could it please be the target of a minor update/patch?
This recent T61p 15.4" WSXGA+ notbook's monitor is honestly pretty bad in terms of color accuracy. The overall sense is very blue; yellows show up orange. Is this normal? But that's really a side issue. I do most of my work on an external monitor anyway.
Solved!

Thank you very kindly, Erik; my searches hadn't found that. However, my T61p appears to already have that software -- not surprising as that was released in December and this notebook was built about a month ago.
I tried the instructions given, but Windows said my computer was already up-to-date. I suppose I could try uninstalling what the computer came with and reinstalling the download...
[Edit 1]
Ah, wait... I retried it from the device manager instead of display properties -- here, I could be sure I was picking the proper "monitor" (the display properties showed only my external monitor). It did instal... said I had version 4.0 and v 4.1 has the "fix" according to the readme.
It wants me to reboot. I'll post again if somehow that didn't do it.

[Edit 2]
Yes, indeed... Photoshop no longer complains. So, I wonder why this isn't in the software build or at least in the updates I've been faithfully downloading. But thanks again, Erik.

Lenovo Thinkpad T60

Hallo,
bin im Forum neu. Ich bin der Bernhard und habe folgendes Problem:
Mein Laptop Lenovo Thinkpad T60 hat das Problem dass wenn ich ihm vom Strom nehme dann müsste er an der Batterie weiterlaufen. Leider schaltet sich das Gerät immer wieder aus.
Früher habe ich das Problem nicht gehabt. Da wir in einer Autowerkstatt arbeiten muss der Computer zum Fehlerauslesen immer wieder vom Strom genommen werden. Die Batterie ist übrigens auch gut.
Hat jemand eine Idee was das sein könnte? Kann es ein Softwarefehler sein oder ......
Vielleicht kennt ja jemand das Problem.
Danke
LG aus Tirol
Bernhard

Die Ursache ist recht einfach: Der Akku ist kaputt. Die Angabe im Energiemanager ist leider nicht immer aussagekräftig, da dieser nicht defekte oder abgetrennte Akkuzellen erkennt. Das Abtrennen der Akkuzellen übernimmt eine Elektronik im Akku, um Brand- oder gar Explosionsschäden zu verhindern. Der Akkuzustand wird jedoch über separate Datenleitungen abgefragt und dort wird dem Rechner eine volle Akkuzelle gemeldet.
Also: Neuen Akku kaufen.

Lenovo Thinkpad T60 with start up problems

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T60 with start up problems. In order to get the computer to start up, I have to unplug it, remove the battery, re-insert the battery and turn it on, once it starts the start up sequence, I can plug in the power cord.
If I plug the cord in before I push the power button, all of the lights go out, and it does nothing.
I have tried several power supplies, and a new battery, even though the old battery seems to work.
All of the updates are applied, including the latest bios update.
The computer seems to work normally unless it goes into standby, then it just turns off.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
T60, 2623 KEU, Windows XP SP3

Hello,
Did you replace the primary battery which snaps into the back, or the internal CMOS/RTC battery inside the unit?

Thinkpad T60 Bios Issue

At startup, my Thinkpad T60 displays a Fan Failure message but the fan seems to be running fine. Before replacing any hardware, I thought it might be helpful to update the bios to see if that resolves the problem. Unfortunately, I'm unable to access the bios. When I tap the F1 key the computer beeps consistently and I am unable to enter the BIOS Setup Utility. When I stop tapping F1, the Fan Failure message once again appears on the screen and the computer fails to boot to the operating system. Any suggestions for resolving this issue are greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Not sure what the cause of your error is, but I can tell you that it wasn't caused by anything that a bios update would fix, and I'd never recommend trying to flash a bios on an unstable system, you could turn a $12 repair into a $600 one.
In an attempt to gather more info for somone who may have seen this error before, how do you know the fan ""seems to be running fine", if you can't boot your system?
One thing you can try is to plug a known good fan into your system board, then try booting/loading bios. Even if you don't actually install the fan, it could tell you if you actually have a fan motor failure. My theory is that yor systemboard would detect an open/shorted circuit in the fan motor and prevent boot to keep from damaging your system. By plugging in a working fan (even if not installed), your system would no longer see the error. However, if it does boot, don't run it for more then a couple mins without a good working fan installed.
I'm sure it's also possible that a systemboard failure could generate such an error, so if a known good fan also triggers this error, that would be the most logical cause, but perhaps there is something another member can offer here that I'm unaware of.
Good luck
ps. You can buy the fan motor (without heatsink) for about $12 on ebay from various sellers. I keep one in stock, in case I ever have need of it, then order a replacement as I use them.

Lenovo Thinkpad Twist touchscreen issue

Does anybody have any expirience with setting up the touchscreen on the thinkpad twist? I assume that I am having a kernel moduel issue because it does not show up in xinput (it did however show up in ubuntu as atmel maxtouch digitizer, and works without any issues). Any help would be gcreatly appreciated

Hi Lem0nade,
Thanks for your reply. I've tried calibrating the device and setting the full windows touch support, as well as resetting the device to factory defaults and updating the drivers but the problem is still present.
I've inserted a file showing an example of the troubleshooting approach in case it's useful. Starting a Metro paint application and then drawing vertical lines across the screen there's a line that just doesn't register the touch at all. If I use the touchpad to draw in that area it works ok, also this behaviour is consistent across multiple applications and is the same after I reset the device, makeing me fairly sure it's a hardware issue with the touchscreen.
At the moment I've got my Twist being picked up as an RMA by the site I bought it from but I thought this informaiton could be useful for other people seeing problems with their touchscreens.

PE6- error message with Lenovo ThinkPad monitor

The monitor profile "Lenovo ThinkPad LCD monitor" appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor callibration software. Choices are Ignore Profile and Use Anyway. What does this mean? Neither choice allows me to do anything or changes anything.
Also, my dropdown choices on top... File, Edit, Image etc.. don't allow me to select anything.
I have an IBM thinkPad running Vista.. and it works for everything I have done. I don't understand this error. I know I can only change the DPI to 16 or 32. Is that the reason?

Basically, it means what it says: the .icc profile for your screen has been corrupted somehow, and a new (or restored) one is required.
You have several options, in the preferred order:
1. Calibrate the screen using a hardware calibrator. This not only fixes the problem, but gives you a correct color response (within limitations).
2. Run Adobe Gamma if you're still on CS2 or CS. The same, but not as accurate.
3. Use the recovery disc (or partition) to restore your laptop to its factory state.
4. Do nothing. Click ignore profile. This tells your screen to use a standard profile called sRGB. Probably close enough.
Edit: it's possible the recovery disc lets you restore individual drivers etc. in addition to the full package. Start it up and see what it says.

Thinkpad T60 fan noise

Hello
I own a Lenovo Thinkpad T60 laptop. Lately fan of my laptop started making a whirling sound. Its been only 2 years since i have purchased the laptop and now i am running with this horrible fan noise.
I want to replace the fan with a new one. So i have checked the hardware manual of Lenovo and found out that at some point i have to apply thermal great at a location of fan assembly at the time of installation.
What thermal grease i have to use for this. If i buy the fan assembly at Lenovo, will they send me the thermal grease also.
Also do i need to buy the same fan model as the existing one... If it so, where can i find the fan model in my system..
Your responses are greatly appreciated.....

Hello,
the simpliest method is to use your 3years warranty and send it to depot.
The other way is to do a parts look-up on Lenovo support page, see link on top of this page.
Then your get the FRU number, search for it at Google, also for thermal grease like Arctic Silver.
The fan isn´t very expensive may be 30$ and it´s not difficult to deploy it. But you will loose warranty!!
Regards
Andreas

ThinkPad T60 USB Ports and Human Interface Devices

Hi. I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T60 and an HID gadget. When I try plugging it into the left vertical USB port, it installs and works just fine; however, when I try plugging it into either USB port on the right side, it always malfunctions and doesn't install or work correctly. Is there any solution to this error, and what's exactly causing it? I've tried the following:
-Updating laptop BIOS
-Reinstalling all USB drivers
-Reinstalling the driver of the device
Thanks in advance for some advice.

I believe you'll find the right side usb ports are part of a separate usb card that connects to the motherboard with a cable, the ports on the left go directly into the motherboard. If the ones on the right aren't working, then you may have a bad usb card. This part can be easily damaged too, bumping a device while plugged in can damage it.
The easiest way to test it would probably be to get a known good usb card and plug it into your motherboard. I believe this can be done temporarily as a test with only partial disassembly of the laptop. Replacing the part would require removing the systemboard/frame assembly from the lower case. I believe you could test if a new card solves the problem by removing only the keyboard and plugging it into the motherboard. It's hard to be sure without knowing exactly which T60 you have, and without having one in front of me to refresh my memory.

HP 2335 Monitor - need adaptor to connect to Lenovo ThinkPad laptop

I have a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop (Ultrabook) that I want to hook up to my HP 2335 external monitor. I need an adaptor cable but do not know which is the correct adaptor. I see on my monitor that I have a 15 pin female port. Can I get an adaptor with a male connector to connect into the monitor and a USB connect to connect into the laptop? Can I get an adaptor for the original cable that came with the monitor ( I think it is DVI?), that has a USB connector?
If anyone knows how to do this please forward guidance along with technical specifics (description, brand, model number, etc)
Thanks

Lenovo Thinkpad 10 + Dockingstation 2 Monitore

Schönen guten Tag,
wir besitzen ein Lenovo Thinkpad 10 Tablet, mit Windows 8.1 darauf und haben dazu die Dockingstation, wo ein HDMI Port vorhanden ist. Nun die Frage ist es möglich mit einen HDMI auf 2x DVI Peitsche, den Desktop auf dem 2. Monitor zu erweitern oder ist so eine Funktion dafür nicht vorgesehen?

I had Lenovo IdeaPad G570 with the B950 processor.
It was possible to upgrade from sandy bridge to IvyBridge with no problems. (atleast on the ideapad, but you had to upgrade the bios to the latest version).
Also the fan's across the series were the same. So it was no problem to upgrade to IvyBridge i5 cpu... now the i7 is alot more powerfull so i'm not sure, but if there is a E530C with i7 out of the box, you should not have any problems. They don't use different fans. Everything is the same, only cpu's differs.

LENOVO 1951FDG ThinkPad T60 XP SP3 system eventlog locket out laptop slow.

LENOVO 1951FDG ThinkPad T60 XP SP3 system eventlog locket out laptop slow.
We had this on three laptop T60 the laptop is slow. If you look in the event log the system event log has a no entry sign and you cannot see any event in the system log. What we normal do is clear the log down. Then restart the laptop it will be OK for some time before the system log become locket out again. Is this a known problem with the T60?

Hi JJtassey,
Welcome to the forum!
You can halt the BSOD by going through following:-
'Right Click on My Computer - > Properties - > Advanced System settings - > Under start up recovery settings - > uncheck automaically restart - > OK'.
Thereafter you can read the blue screen and through error message track down the problem. I also suggest running complete PC Doctor's or lenovo thinkvantage toolbox test on your system:-
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-73783.html
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-56222.html
As for reinstalling Windows, you can do so by restoring your thinkpad to factory settings from recovery partition. Press thinkvantage boot when thinkpad logo comes up on boot and choose restore to factory settings from the list of options. You might want to save your data some where in advance as it will be deleted in the process.
If you want to install your own Windows then you would need to set SATA AHCI to Compatibility mode in the BIOS for the hard drive, your drive will then be seen by windows disc since it does not have sata ahci driver.
Hope it helps.

Lenovo ThinkPad T430s - first impressions and issues

I bought ThinkPad T430s last week and just wanted to write down my thoughts, first impressions and the issues I ran into.
I am very pleased with the laptop in terms of hardware - solid and nice build quality, understated style and (relatively) light weight. The screen is sharp, sound is good enough for me (I am no audiophile) and I am getting used to the chiclet keyboard - which feels just a little springy.
But I am not pleased with the software. There is just too much bloatware on the system and some of it is hard to get rid of.
SugarSync
Evernote
Lenovo MyCloud
VeriSign VIP Access
Intel AppUp
and the biggest offender - Lenovo SimpleTap -- You can't get rid of the SimpleTap without uninstalling the individual apps first.
It would be nice if the system showed a dialog box that said "Hey, here are some cool apps we highly recommend and you may want to look at", instead of pre-installing all these stupid apps.
On top of that I ran into the Windows updates failing issue.
So I ended up specnding 4+ hours just to get the system right.
Lenovo and Microsoft need to understand that they need to deliver an excellent and functional experience to users and not push any stupid system that they have come up with just to make an extra buck.
Look at Apple products. People love Apple products (I don't, but I do admire them) because of the simple and functional experience they provide.
In short install just what is necessary. You can let users know that there are other goof programs but leave it up to the users.

In fact that is exactly what I am going to do this weekend.
I am in the middle of posting another message asking for recommendations and experience on the absolute minimum I can get away with.
Right now I am thinking Windows 7, System Update and Power Manager.
In my case, I installed the following:
Windows 7
Intel chipset drivers
Intel WIFI driver (wifi driver only)
Intel Ethernet driver
Lenovo Power Management driver
Lenovo Power Manager
Optimus video drivers for Intel HD 4000 and NVIDIA 5200M
RealTek audio driver - I think this also installed Dolby Home Theater v4
Ricoh Media driver
Lenovo Ultranav driver
Webcam driver
I don't install much more than that. I like to manually check the download areas for updates so I don't install Lenovo ThinkPad System Update.

Thinkvision 2251 WEBCAM compatible with Thinkpad T60?

Greetings,
Purchased a Lenovo Thinkvision Monitor with integrated Webcamera model L2251x 22" wide screen. Have a Thinkpad T60 laptop. After nearly 7 hours of online support, telephone support and researching customer forums, loading every driver I can find for the monitor and laptop, I'm down to a program called Lenovo Webcam Center by Intervideo. Driver from Lenovo website noted below:
HYPERLINK "http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/options/mediaonegallery.exe
I am at the point where it asks me to enter the serial number for the software. As the webcamera came integrated with the Monitor, and the T60 had no webcam, I have no serial number. I checked out the Intervideo website to see what it would cost to get the SW license, but it says it is no longer sold. I would be willing to pay a nominal amount to get this webcam working.
Can I get a serial number for this old software? If I do, you think the T60 and 2251 Monitor are even capable/compatible for Webcam? Lenovo has been poor at support and this seems a common issue on the customer forums.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Painfuul 7 hours trying to figuure this out, anyone know?
Have loaded every driver I can find for Webcams from 2251 CD, Lenovo for both laptop and monitor and every forum link I could find. Down to this WEB gallery driver from INtervideo that seems no longer supported and stupms me at the SERIAL number during load as thwew 2251 didn't come with this (and the T60 had no cam to begin with).
Any help appreciated.
