  • Lenovo ThinkPad X220 will not charge when in use

    I have a quesiton I have not found an answer to.
    Will the X220 charge the battery, when plugged into the 90W charger (42T4430), if the computer is in use?  I used my computer on battery for a few hours, drained the battery to 30%.  Then I went inside to plug it in and keep working.  After 4 hours of working, and it plugged in to the wall the battery still indicates 30%.
    The same thing happened when I was using my docking station.  I arrived at work yesterday with 76% battery.  After 8 hours on the docking station, I still indicated 76% battery life. 
    My previous (other major name brand) laptops all would charge even if I was working on the laptop.  Is the X220 different by design?  Do I have to shut down and plug in to recharge?
    Solved!

    I figured it out.   I took the battery out and put it back in.  Ding Ding Ding  That worked, now it is charging.  How in the world did it work off the battery if it was not plugged in tight enough to charge??? Oh well, it works again.  Thanks

  • Fingerprint Reader on Lenovo Thinkpad x220

    Hey guys, I'm having a few problems installing the fingerprint reader on Arch Linux. I have the 147e:2016 UPEK fingerprint reader according to lsusb. As far as I know, libfprint-UNSTABLE supports that, but I think it causes a few problems too. Sometimes fingerprint-gui crashes from "Segmentation Fault" and I tried adding it to the PAM sudo file, but whenever I run sudo something, it doesn't ask for a finger swipe. The green light also does not turn on. So, I tried manually running /lib/security/pam_fingerprint-gui.so and it returned "Segmentation Fault." I followed the fingerprint-gui on the Fprint page on the Arch wiki, but didn't work. So then I tried the fprint method, but all the packages they listed to install (Excluding PAM) were not found. I googled the package names (libfprint and pam_fprint) and it returned results from the arch package place, but when I clicked on them, it said the packages weren't found. Any ideas on where I could go from here?

    Just a FYI. I did some poking around on this and found something interesting, so I thought I'd pass it along.
    Disclaimer: I have NOT tried this, and don't even own the fingerprint reader in question.
    Anyway, here's the trail I followed...
    The ThinkWiki page here:
       http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Integrate … int_reader
    points to patches from a year ago in this bug report:
       https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=504399
    So I downloaded the libfprint-0.4.0-1.fc15 and fprintd-0.4.1-1.fc15 Fedora 15 source RPM packages by drilling down from here:
       https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates … b1ec4e90dc
    Then I exploded the RPMs and looked at the "spec" files... and here's where it got interesting.
    Fedora seems to be getting the source code for both libfprint and fprintd from here:
       http://people.freedesktop.org/~hadess/
    and not from the "official" code repository like the Arch AUR packages do.
    So... you may want to give that code a try... or not

    Magnus, welcome to the forum,
    acording to the MTM your system has an i-7 CPU, it should therefore have USB 3.0. Please try installing the system and ensure you only use the USB 2.0 ports.
    Hope this helps

  • Thinkpad X220: bad wlan connection when docked and lid closed

    Dear forum
    I use a Lenovo ThinkPad X220. I have no trouble with the wlan connection when i use the notebook alone. The wlan connection is also stable when i use the notebook plugged in the dockingstation with the lid open. But when I use the notebook plugged in the dockingstation with the lid closed my wlan connection drops regularely to about 2 Mbps and gets very unstable.
    The ThinkPad uses the Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 wlan network controller:
    $ lspci | grep 6205
    03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor Peak] (rev 34)
    The network controller uses the iwlwifi driver, that comes with the current linux-firmware package:
    $ pacman -Ss linux-firmware
    core/linux-firmware 20150206.17657c3-1 [Installiert]
    Firmware files for Linux
    I didn't change any options of the kernel module, everything runs in default mode:
    $ modinfo -p iwlwifi
    swcrypto:using crypto in software (default 0 [hardware]) (int)
    11n_disable:disable 11n functionality, bitmap: 1: full, 2: disable agg TX, 4: disable agg RX, 8 enable agg TX (uint)
    amsdu_size_8K:enable 8K amsdu size (default 0) (int)
    fw_restart:restart firmware in case of error (default true) (bool)
    antenna_coupling:specify antenna coupling in dB (default: 0 dB) (int)
    wd_disable:Disable stuck queue watchdog timer 0=system default, 1=disable (default: 1) (int)
    nvm_file:NVM file name (charp)
    uapsd_disable:disable U-APSD functionality (default: Y) (bool)
    bt_coex_active:enable wifi/bt co-exist (default: enable) (bool)
    led_mode:0=system default, 1=On(RF On)/Off(RF Off), 2=blinking, 3=Off (default: 0) (int)
    power_save:enable WiFi power management (default: disable) (bool)
    power_level:default power save level (range from 1 - 5, default: 1) (int)
    fw_monitor:firmware monitor - to debug FW (default: false - needs lots of memory) (bool)
    At first I thought, the problem could be caused by the KDE power saving settings. I changed the settings, so nothing happens when I close the lid (no hibbernation or screen lock or something like that), but without success (the wlan connection is still unstable under the described circumstances).
    Also dmesg shows nothing that points out a problem (as far as I can see):
    $ dmesg | grep iwlwifi
    [ 19.688522] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: can't disable ASPM; OS doesn't have ASPM control

    [ 68.923192] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Radio type=0x1-0x2-0x0
    So I have no idea where this strange behaviour comes from (only wild guesses: buildfactor, antenna orientation,...).
    Any help would be really appreciated.

    hmmm...
    how about checking both your wired and wireless nic drivers in device manager to make sure that the "allow computer to turn off this device to save power" checkbox on the power management tab is deselected.

  • Teclado nuevo Thinkpad x220 latinoamericano

    Buenas, tuve un accidente con el teclado de mi laptop y quería consultar donde puedo conseguir un teclado distribución latinoamericana para mi Lenovo Thinkpad x220
    Saludos
    ¡Resuelto!
    Ir a solución.

    Como te comenta el MOD, lamentablemente partes en Latinoamerica solo se pueden comprar directamente de Lenovo en Mexico y Uruguay.
    Fuera de esos paises no existe la opcion.

  • Lenovo T420, Type 4177 Review

    Lenovo T420, Type 4177-CTO. Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit.  8 GB RAM,  500 GB HD, third party 128 GB SSD added.
    After inspecting many laptops I chose the ThinkPad T420. The only better laptop was Apple and I needed different software.
    An important consideration for any computer is support. Lenovo has excellent support at 1-800-426-7378. Tech support and repair happens right here in the United States.  Repairs are done in Tennessee.
    The Lenovo ThinkPad T420 is a solid laptop. It is not as light as some laptops but strength and durability need to be considered. Weight of machine with a large 6 cell battery and a slice battery = 6 lb. 7 oz. (3060 kg). The laptop weighs 5 lb. 5 oz. (2430 kg) with just the large 6 cell battery. The 6 cell battery weighs 1 lb. 1.5 oz. (500kg) and the 6 cell battery would then weigh 1/3 less. You can compute the difference. Keep in mind my battery life with the slice battery installed is about 17 hours. The slice battery also places the laptop on a slight angle with the rear elevated. It is about the same tilt as with the docking station. You cannot have the slice battery installed while the laptop in in the docking station.
    The 6 cell battery sticks out the back so it is not a perfect cosmetic fit. The 4 cell battery will look nicer, be lighter and probably last about 4 hours.
    The overall design is perfect in my opinion. I find no problems. The T420 uses the LED night light that shines from the top of the display to the keyboard area. It can be turned on and off with the Fn function key. There are many Fn function keys that are great. I really like the Fn-Space bar that magnifies the display.
    The speakers are well positioned and are adequate. They could have higher volume considering where they are installed.
    I really like the Lenovo mouse pad and mouse button configuration.  I wish the mouse speed adjustment would go a little faster but it is acceptable. Some laptops I tested are far too slow, even with the mouse settings as fast as they go. The T420 has the best mouse operation of any laptop.
    The Windows Pro 7 operating system and Lenovo will only allow one set of recovery disks. Do your backup recovery disks with good quality DVDs. Lenovo will provide a set of recovery disks if you need them.  DVD-RAM is not supported by the Recovery Disks, but SSD drives are supported. The Lenovo T420 is designed to run on SSD drives.
    Recovery Data notes.  If you stop in the middle of Disk 4, you will have the first 3 disks and you can still make a copy of all 4 disks. At the end of disk 4 the computer turns Recovery disk copy off. You cannot make more copies.
    Disc 1, Boot Media
    Disc 2, Recovery Media 1
    Disc 3, Recovery Media 2
    Disc 4, Recovery Media 3
    Notes:
    HD Boot time = 41.4 seconds
    SSD Boot time = 29.6 seconds
    This is with little software installed. With more programs installed the boot up time will increase. Keep in mind the first phase of boot up consists of BIOS and hardware communications. With many programs installed the SSD will really be nice.  The Registry loading will be totally SSD dependent and fast.
    HD partitions and size before SSD installation.
    Lenovo Recovery partition = 9.67GB used + 5.94GB free = 15.63GB
    System Drive partition = 3.34MB used + 865MB free = 1.17GB
    Local Disk C partition = 27.9 GB used + 420 GB free = 448.96 GB
    Total GB = 465.76

    Adding SSD card
    (I used the MyDigitalSSD 128GB 50mm Bullet Proof mSATA  PCI-e drive. Some SSDs are a little faster but cost much more.)
    Install SSD
    Initialized SSD card in My Computer, Manage, Disk Drives
    Turn off laptop and remove HD
    Boot to Recovery discs
    Restore to factory default. (The Recovery disks only have the SSD to restore to)
    When finished you can test the operation of your laptop on the SSD drive. Test by going into your BIOS to make sure you know how to get there. Boot using F1 for BIOS setup.
    Turn off the laptop and install the hard drive.
    Boot to BIOS (Do this first before booting Windows)
    Remove HD from boot sequence. Go ahead and setup your boot sequence to something like SSD, DVD, and then USB, etc. Do not include the HD
    Then I go to My Computer, Manage, Disk Drives and I do some major changes here.
    You must make your own decisions. The SSD drive is prime real-estate and a 20GB recovery partition is out of the question (for me). The Recovery discs have been created. I decided to merge partitions on the SSD drive. Windows 7 Pro will handle this easily on the active drive. Now, there are actually 2 smaller partitions and the smaller 1GB partition cannot be removed. Apparently the operating system needs it. The larger 19GB partition can easily be removed and added to the C drive. No 3rd party partitioning software is needed with Windows 7 Professional.  Go to Start, right click My Computer, left click Manage. Select Disk Management. Select the Lenovo_Recovery partition and remove it. Now select the primary partition (C: drive) and select merge. Use the full size of the deleted partition space. The System_Drv partition could not be removed on my SSD. It is only 1.17GB and probably essential.  
     Change drive letters in Manage, Disk Management. Fortunately the main drive was named the C drive. I do not think you can change the drive letter of the active drive partition for some operating systems. After reinstalling the HD there is no telling what letter Windows will give it. Rename it to D drive if you want to. You can also remove the Recovery partition on the hard drive. I decided to depend totally on my backup restore DVDs and knowing Lenovo would send me another copy if needed.
    The computer controls the use of the 2 video card functions but it can also be controlled in the BIOS.
    Your warrantee is not void if you install the memory or SSD.  The machine is designed for those additions.  The installation of my extra memory was a tight fit. Be careful. Don’t use metal tools or do anything stupid.
    Notes: Boot to F11 for recovery. F12 for selecting boot device. Boot using F1 for BIOS setup. The ThinkAdvantage button takes you to a variety of places. I don’t really know where it goes.
    Now if you are looking for the User’s Guide you will only find the Hardware Manual. It takes the place of the User Guide and is formatted a little differently. It is OK.
    Most other attributes of the laptop are on the selection menus on the Lenovo web site. You can get just about anything you want except the T420 did not have a Blu Ray player at the time I ordered mine. It did not have a GPS option but it could be obtained via 3G subscriptions using telephone towers. If you want a real GPS you can buy many 3rd party USB modules that will tell you where you are at using global satellites.

  • Lenovo Thinkpad X series for pro wildlife photography?

    A Lenovo Thinkpad x series enquiry please!
    As a professional wildlife photographer I'm after a tough notebook that MUST  have the following:
    A matt screen-a must for viewing photos outdoors
    HDMI- imperative so I can hook it up to my HD monitor back at base 
    large capacity battery - minumum 6-7 hours in the field
    potent processor
    as much RAM as possible
    powerful graphics card
    light weight 
    Will the X1 or X220 have these? I thought they had glossy screens??
    Much appreciated folks...
    Moderator edit: Added detail to subject.

    Nothing in the X Series has a truely "powerful" graphics card. The X1 and X220 both use the Intel HD 3000 graphics integrated into the processor, not a separate graphics GPU. What exactly are your needs? You mention photography but not video. It should work fine for still photography but not necessarily for video processing.
    Besides that point, the X220 looks like it can meet your other needs if you configure your purchase to match (8 GB RAM, external battery pack, DisplayPort to HDMI cable). The X220 has a matte screen (X1 has a glossy screen).

  • 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.

  • BSOD when installing Windows XP on ThinkPad x220

    Hi,
    I have just bought a ThinkPad x220 (4293-AA6) with no OS installed. I am trying to install Windows XP (32-bit), but have not yet been successful. 
    I have carefully followed section in the User Guide called "Installing Windows XP", but this has not worked for me. In summary, the procedure I followed was:
    In BIOS, set "Serial ATA (SATA)" to "AHCI", 
    Set "UEFI/Legacy Boot" to "Both" or "Legacy Only" (makes no difference to my problem)
    Boot from Win XP SP2 CD
    Press F6 when prompted, put the Lenovo "Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver drivers" in floppy drive, and select "Intel MobileExpress Chipset SATA AHCI Controller". Drivers were extracted from this file: this file
    Continue the installation
    The result is a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) just after the setup screen says "Setup is starting Windows", with the error message:
    "STOP: 0x0000007B (0xf78d2524,0xc0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000)"
    Other things I have tried: 
    Followed the alternative procedure outlined in the User Guide, under "If you do not have a diskette drive..."
    Updated the BIOS from 1.15 to 1.17
    Ran memtest86+ (resulted in no errors)
    Tried the "Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver" from the Intel website rather than the Lenovo website
    Selected the "Intel 5 Series 6 Port SATA AHCI Controller" instead of the other one when installing the drivers
    Tried using a WinXP SP3 CD instead of SP2
    Formatted the disk using diskpart
    Installed Ubuntu 11.04 to the harddrive (successfully!!) then tried installing Windows XP again
    But I always get the same BSOD.
    I have also tried installing Windows 7 (64-bit), which also failed! It booted into the installation program, but then it stopped and said it couldn't find a driver for a CD/DVD drive. After installing the appropriate 64-bit Lenovo IRST driver and rebooting, this resulted in the following Blue Screen of Death: "STOP: 0x000000F4 (0x0000000000000003,..."
    Is anyone able to help me with getting Windows (XP or even 7) installed? Any help or ideas would be much appreciated, and I'm happy to provide more information/tests if needed.
    Thanks in advance,
    Roy

    Oh, perhaps I should emphasise that this X220 model comes with the "160GB Solid State Drive". Perhaps that needs a different driver or something...??
    SSDs are Advanced Format disks, which XP does not know anything about.  Please read the white paper which can be found here.....

  • Thinkpad T60p Video/Grap​hics Issue

    I am running a Lenovo thinkpad T60p, WinXP SP2, 1 GB RAM, dual core processor @ 2.16 GHz, ATI MOBILITY FireGL V5200 video card.
    I am certainly not trying to run Half Life 2 on my laptop, or watch super HD-DVDs. However, even the smallest exertion of video graphics or even online game turns out to run pretty slow, sometimes lagging. online videos full screen consistently lag, while resizing to a smaller window usually helps them run faster. Flash games run pretty slow, and changing the setting to "low quality" usually helps a bit.
    Laptop was purchased 2 years ago, started noticing these problems about 2-3 months ago.
    Why is my laptop incapable of running even simple videos and games smoothly? How can i isolate the source of the problem?

    Which ATI offical driver should I use, as the driver for on ATI's webiste for ATI MOBILITY FireGL V5250 is refer back to Lenovo's website which is the one I'm already using and was last updated 04 Sep 2007.
