Lenovo U350 and windows8?

http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=5374&review=lenovo+ideapad+u350  with the SU7300 cpu
I have a license from a promotion windows8 and i wonder if it worths the operation! Current os is windows7 home premium 64bit.
I run the compatibility test just 10 apps are out which i dont really need. The bluetooth lenovo app doesnt work but the driver looks ok?
So what should i do?

Hi
Welcome To Lenovo Community
Windows 8 drivers for U350 are still under production and testing . These drivers will be available shortly
I would suggest to wait till all drivers for windows 8 are available then you can upgrade to windows 8
Hope This Helps
Cheers!!!

  • Lenovo U350, can not start any programs at some point

    Hi experts,
    I ran again into some problems with my Lenovo U350 under Windows 7.
    All of a sudden, I can not start any program on my laptop after running it for a while. I click on the program I can see this program running in Task Manager but it does not show up on the screen.
    Also I can not restart my laptop normally by clicking either on buttons "Restart" or "Shut down" either. For some reason these buttons/commands stop working. The only way to deal with this problem is a hard shut down by holding the "Power On/Off" button pressed on the laptop for a few seconds.
    I ran the antivirus check on my laptop to find existing viruses but came out with the result of 0 viruses.
    I wonder why the programs on my laptop stop loading or freezing? Any ideas?
    I'm that close to reinstall the whole system with the OKR.
    Thanks for your replies in advance.
    Cheers,
    Randy.
    Solved!

    yigit, thanks a lot for your reply.
    I tried to reinstall Windows on the weekend using the OKR. The problem was that I could start OKR under Windows 7 and choose the clean OS installation. Then my laptop restarts and I expected that reinstallation procedure would start next. But in reality what I have is just a normal Windows 7 Start. I also tried to start OKR by pressing an OKR button while my laptop is switched off. But same result - just a normal Windows 7 Start. Apparently, the OKR files are corrupted somehow.
    I have to mention 2 facts:
    1) I didn't change the partitions on my drive. These are the default factory partitions.
    2) Unfortunately, I didn't create the recovery discs when I bought my laptop.
    The question is how I can reinstall my system then? May I ask Lenovo for some recovery discs to ship to me if I still have a warranty?
    Thanks in advance for your future replies.
    Randy.
    P.S. yigit, I checked your mentioned thread. The problem is I don't receive any Windows message saying why it can't start programs. It just doesn't start without any error message that should come along with it.

  • Lenovo U350. Upgrade Windows Vista to 7

    Hi all!
    Last week I bought Lenovo U350 notebook with Windows Vista OS. And now I want upgrade it to Windows 7.
    But I have some questions... especially about the drivers. Here (official Lenovo site) we can see list of drivers for Lenovo notebooks. But I can't find Windows 7 drivers for example for chipset and bluetooth...
    Where I can find these drivers?
    Thanks a lot!

    it's kinda old post, so, download page for u350 has been updated. you can download drivers for windows 7.

  • Wrong CPU given back after servicing? Lenovo U350

    Hi,
    I sent my notebook for service to change motherboard and battery for Lenovo U350.. After replacing the mainboard by LENOVO, i found that my CPU was not the same... Previously before service it was a SU7300 CPU and after replacing the mainboard, the cpu given back was a U4100 cpu.. Is it replacing mainboard, cpu also replaced??
         Please advise??

    Zopsi,
    Thanks for your post and your private message.  Please send me another PM with your contact details - name, address, phone and the current MT & Serial of the W520 that you have now.
    Ultimately, we will probably need to see your particular system here to recreate the whine noise (detailed steps from you are appreciated so we make sure we are hearing the same thing).   We don't have this as a "known" issue yet, so will be looking for example cases and then can try to isolate the components.
    The Fan issue is solved by an updated BIOS making it's way out.   I think it was going through test last week and should be released to the website for download in the next week or so.
    Will have to check on the red tint and would need to see the system.
    I'll look for your PM.
    Many thanks!

  • If you are torn between a Lenovo W550s and a Dell M3800

    I am sharing my Lenovo W550s and Dell Precision M3800 experiences and testing results with you.
    My Laptop Configurations:
    Lenovo W550s with Intel dual core 17-5600 CPU @2.60GHz, 16 GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro K620M, 1TB Samsung 850 Pro SATA SSD (user upgrade from HDD) with RAPID enabled
    Dell Precision M3800 with Intel quad core i7-4702HQ CPU @2.2GHz, 16 GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro K1100M, 512 GB Samsung SM841 mSATA SSD
    Applications Used for Performance Ratings/Testing:
    - Windows 7 Performance Information and Tools
    - Photoshop CS6 (Image Processor activated from Bridge)
    Applications Used for Work Testing:
    PTC MathCAD for structural engineering calculations (some over 200 pages long)
    Adobe Photoshop CS6 for photography image processing
    Core Temp 1.0 RC6
    Vendor’s diagnostics applications
    My Computer Testing Experience:
    I have owned, used and tested laptop computers since IBM announced their first model. I used IBM ThinkPads for a number of years until IBM sold the division to Lenovo. I owned and used Lenovo T-model laptop before switching to the Dell M3800 in January 2014. I bought a Lenovo W550s when my Dell failed, and it took Dell over a month to successfully repair the unit. The Dell is now working fine and allowed me to do the tests and get the results you see below. I upgraded the Lenovo from a 500 GB HDD to a Samsung 850 Pro 1TB and Samsung Magician (RAPID enabled), and that is the configuration I used to do the following tests.
    Windows 7 Performance Ratings:
    Let’s get right to it and admit the Lenovo is not as powerful a work machine as the Dell when it comes to pure calculations. Windows rates the Dell processor at 7.6, whereas, it rates the Lenovo at 6.5 calculations per second. I did not feel that difference when using the two computers and most people will not, but for intense calculations with applications that actually use quad core processors to their max, Dell will win the day. I felt no difference in image processing nor MathCAD calculation manipulation when working on one image or modifying a computer model because human intervention and decisions were almost always the limiting factors. However, running batch processes shows a difference in the laptops. Lenovo took 34 minutes batch processing 1215 images (converting to smaller size) and Dell took 31 minutes. This tells me that disk I/O bottlenecks can actually make the Lenovo perform almost at the same level with the Dell but with half of the CPU cores and thus, lower internal temperatures. RAPID was turned on for Lenovo, but not available for Dell which makes a big difference in I/O speed. Without RAPID, the Dell would run circles around the Lenovo.
    Dell also won on graphics at 7.0 compared with 6.7 for Lenovo (Lenovo Turbo Boost enabled makes an improvement from 5.9). While processing photo images, I could not feel any speed difference between the two computers while using Photoshop. There are often delays when going to and from plugin filters such as Nik and OnOne when using any processor. Those delays felt the same with both Dell and Lenovo.
    Windows rates the Dell at 7.8 for memory but the Lenovo at 7.6. Since both of my machines have 16GB of RAM, the access speed for the Dell must be a little faster.
    Display:
    I use the Intel built-in Intel HD graphics adapter for both laptops because my applications do not play well with the NVDIA adapters in the units, and I do no gaming. I disable the NVDIA adapter in the Lenovo to get longer battery life and lower internal temperatures. Disabling the NVDIA adapter in the Dell seemed to make no difference in internal temperature nor battery life.
    I use both computers in 1920x1200 pixel resolution so I can see the Photoshop and MathCAD icons and controls well enough to not make mistakes. Even though both Dell and Lenovo provide higher resolutions, they both work well scaled to 1920 pixels. Although both screens have excellent contrast and color saturation, the Lenovo screen has less glare than the Dell and, as a result, is easier to use for image processing using Photoshop when there are unshaded windows nearby.
    I did notice a color and contrast shift when viewing the Dell screen off center by just 15-20 degrees. The Lenovo contrast shifts also but not as much and the colors do not appear to shift even with large viewing angle changes. More care has to be taken to view the Dell straight on when processing photo images.
    I calibrated the screen for both computers using Spyder3 Elite and got results that were comparable. After calibration, Dell provides close to 100% sRGB gamut while the Lenovo is about 90% and the brightness of both work well for photo editing and production. The Dell was slightly better for color control, but the screen glare can be an issue when working in a building that has windows nearby.
    Keyboard:
    Both keyboards are excellent, but I like the Dell keyboard a little better. However, I have used Lenovo TrackPoints for many years, and I like that feature. It find it much easier to use than a scratch pad and it works well as a pointer control.
    The Dell keyboard backlighting turns on as soon as you start to type and illuminates the keys well. The Lenovo keyboard backlighting has three optional settings, but the brightest setting does not produce the same level of lighting the Dell produces. The Dell keyboard is thus easier to use in low light.
    I will not address the Numeric Key pad. Lenovo has one and Dell does not. I don’t use numeric keypads, so it makes no difference to me.
    Connectivity:
    USB Ports: Dell has two USB ports on each side. One on each side is powered (always on) and one is USB 2.0. Lenovo has two USB 3.0 ports on the right side and one USB 3.0 port on the left. Only one of those ports is always on. In both cases, you have to look careful to see which port is always on.
    Video Output: Dell has an HDMI port in addition to a Thunderbolt port. Lenovo only provides a Thunderbolt port; you have to use an HDMI converter to get HDMI output.
    Ethernet: Dell has no Ethernet port; you have to use an Ethernet dongle to get the conversion from USB. Lenovo has an Ethernet port. I seldom use Ethernet ports anymore since most motels have wifi, so the lack of an Ethernet port is not an issue for me.
    Battery Power:
    Dell has one internal batter. You can get it with a 91Wh or 61Wh, but you cannot easily change the configuration—you have to take the computer apart. I have the 91Wh version, and it lasts about 3 hours for me on an airplane. The Lenovo has one internal 44Wh battery and three optional rear batteries: 23, 48 and 72 Wh. You can swap out those rear batteries in the Lenovo without shutting the unit down. The Lenovo also provides an excellent power management application that enables you to select the performance level you wish to use and predicts the remaining battery time that you will get based on that selection. So, if you plan to be in a base camp in the Serengeti where you have limited access to charging stations, the Lenovo with extra batteries is the machine for you. I seldom have that type of scenario, but it is good to know I have the option.
    Heat Emission:
    The Dell has two internal fans that blow out the bottom of the unit. You can get a hot lap or do damage to the computer if you actually use it in your lap or block that vent in any way. The Lenovo has one internal fan, and it blows out the side of the unit. The Lenovo does not get as hot on the bottom. The Core Temp application indicated the Lenovo CPUs ran about 12C cooler than those in the Dell (72C versus 84C) under stress diagnostic testing at 90-100% CPU load using the vendor’s own diagnostic application. In my own experience while using the Dell for a year, heat can be an issue and probably contributed to a system board failure in my unit.
    Size and Weight:
    Dell wins the day in both categories. It is about ¼ inch thinner (not counting the height of the feet) than the Lenovo with the 23 Wh battery attached and about 0.25 pounds lighter including the batteries. Both the size and weight make the Dell feel more like an iPad than a workstation. The aluminum top and carbon-fiber base are both high tech, look good and keep the weight down. However, the lack of heat conduction in the base may contribute to over-heating issues…as it did in my case.
    Conclusions:
    There is no doubt that the Dell laptop has sex appeal with the thinner body and lighter weight. It also packs a lot of power. However, my own experience has shown that the Dell can be a high-maintenance machine. The Lenovo may have warts as well…only time will tell. However, it feels more like a reliable work horse while the Dell feels like a temperamental race horse. It will be difficult picking just one of them for treks that limit me to one laptop, but the Lenovo will probably win the day. I will take both with me when I can so I have a backup computer in my bag. Maybe I will get my wife to lug the Dell along on long international trips, and I will take the Lenovo in my bag. That would be a win-win…but at a price of course.

    The folks at NotebookCheck do the kind of benchmarks you reference. You can see their results at:
    http://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-ThinkPad-W550s​-Workstation-Review.137989.0.html
    The tests I ran were just to help me decide which laptop to use since I now have both.
    I do use ATTO as well as CrystalDiskMark for disk/SSD read and write testing. Of course both go off the map when you enable RAPID in the Lenovo with the Samsung 850 Pro installed. RAPID does actually speed up work processing...not just wow the I/O test software.
    I was getting about 550/450 MB/s read/write with both laptops before I enabled RAPID. With RAPID I get 3345 read and 1833 write with the Lenovo.
    Too bad RAPID does not work with all Samsung SSD storage devices.

  • Lenovo toolbox and fingerprint software stopped working on Thinkpad W700 Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

    After installing Lenovo Updates an unknown USB device appeared in device manager. Per the instructions of a Lenovo support person I performed a system restore to a time prior to the updates. After doing that the Lenovo Toolbox and Fingerprint software would no longer work. I tried another system restore back to the latest date and that did not solve the problem. I also tried reinstalling both the Toolbox and the finger print software and they still won't work. When I try to launch either of those apps I get an error message saying that they have stopped working and that the system was checking online for a solution, with no result. It's my impression that the system restore screwed up something in the OS or the system registry that is a dependency for those two programs. The only suggestion Lenovo support could give me is to re-image the system. I would prefer to find the cause and fix that rather than reload the entire system. I would love to know what could cause these two programs to stop working when the other Lenovo utilities seem to work fine. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    Which version of the tool box are you using?Mine would not open after installting updates but after installating the latest version its working fine

  • Problem with the "lenovo Rescue And Recovery" system. (lenovo 3000 N500).

    hi!
    yesterday i ran Kaspersky virus scan tool and it detect file named "tvtfilter.sys" as suspicious file and thefore delet it.
    today when i was restart my laptop, i got error message on startup that say:
    Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error! "C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\rrservice.exe"  abnormal program termination. 
    after some google search i've understand that "tvtfilter.sys" was critical file of "Rescue And Recovery" system.
    so, any one with "Rescue And Recovery" running on his laptop can upload for me this file?
    it's located in "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DIRVERS\" and it's name is "tvtfilter.sys"
    thank you!
    BTW, ive tried to re-install it but it wont let me because of some error message

    Hi eitrnel,
    Just a thought: give a try to un-intsall the Rescue and Recovery from the Control Panel first before re-installing it.

  • Cannot Access the Service Partition after installing Lenovo Driver and Application Installation

    I recently upgraded my Lenovo 3000 H210, M/T 5355-2NU from Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit) to Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) with the media received through the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Fulfillment Program.
    I installed the 64-bit version of the Common Components Installation v1.0.0.8 and restarted the computer and then installed the 64-bit version of the Lenovo Driver and Application Installation program, v5.1.0.0900.  After
    restarting the computer, I receive a message box stating "Cannot access the Service Partition".  If I click on
    Lenovo Driver and Application Installation on the Start Menu, I receive an error that the installation has not
    completed.  Restart to complete the installation.  If I restart the computer, I am back to the first error.
    Any idea how to resolve this situation?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
    -Larry

    I am having the exact same problem. It's driving me nuts. I also downloaded and attempted to reinstall the factory software from Lenovo's site. It installs but will not launch, giving me the following error message: "This software is for intallation on a Lenovo computer." Or words to that effect.
    Hopefully someone knows the answer. Tried tech support twice. Ugh... Thanks in advance.

  • Help with Lenovo Rescue and Recovery 4.31

    Hello,
    I work for a company that uses Ghost images for deploying laptops. We have recently decided to try the Lenovo Rescue and Recovery software built in with the new T520s when doing our local backup before sending the laptop out to the user.
    What we decided to try is building the base image, creating the backup locally on the computer using R&R, dumping the image to our server using Ghost and then imaging other laptops with that image.
    Our reasoning for creating the local backup first, is that time is not that big of an issue when creating the initial image, and neither is imaging other laptops because we create spares that we have built and ready to go out. What we would then do is apply any updates since the laptop was imaged, and have R&R create an incremental backup again, which would only take a few minutes and the laptop would be ready to ship.
    Upon using this method, we have found that you cannot view the original first backup created in R&R on a laptop that it was not created with. The backup content is there, as the drive space is used and booting into a DOS prompt and browsing the C:\RRbackups\SZ\<UID>\ folder shows the data.
    What I'm looking to know is how the R&R software generates that UID, and if anything can be done to allow the other laptops to recognize, whether it's rename the folder with a UID that the new laptop is going to use, or if it's something within the software files that's changable. Or even the registry.
    Any ideas or suggestions would be great.
    Thanks!

    kylejg, welcome to the forum,
    R&R is a little system specific. How many systems are you expecting to deploy using the method you describe?
    It might be worth taking a look at the "Big Brother" of R&R namely Image Ultra Builder as it should be able to, with ease, realise exactly that which you are aiming for.

  • T61 Lenovo Rescue and Recovery BSOD

    Hi,
    I've got a problem booting into the Lenovo Rescue and Recovery partition.
    System is a T61 (64665DG) with Rescue and Recovery 4.21.1016.00
    I receive the following BSOD message:
    A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage.
    If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
    Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and terminated. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.
    Technical information:
    ***STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D6528,0xC0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000)
    It seems to be a problem with the AHCI controller not being supported. When I switch the SATA Controller Mode from AHCI to Compatibility in the BIOS it then successfully boots into the Rescue and Recovery environment.
    Why is it missing the correct AHCI driver? It used to work fine with the older version of Rescue and Recovery in AHCI mode. Is there a fix available for the Rescue and Recovery software to allow you to run it without having to put the SATA controller in AHCI mode?
    -Indie
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks both for your replies. The inability for it to boot the Rescue and Recovery partition in AHCI mode persuaded me to examine the contents of the partition for anything obvious amiss. Using Linux I was able to mount the FAT partition and have a nose around. In the /minint/system32 directory it's got a number of sub-directories for the Intel Iastor driver - that used to access the HD in AHCI mode. I couldn't find any reference to that in txtsetup.sif and the winpeoem.sif file was empty. After some Googling I found out that you can easily load additional mass storage drivers using winpeoem.sif.
    IBM have a program called rrutil.exe that allows you to access the RnR partition from within Windows, it's part of the Rescue and Recovery Administrator Tools.
    To modify winpeoem.sif first install the RnR admin tools and open a command prompt window in the install location - C:\SWTOOLS\TOOLS\Z652_Admin016. Make sure the C:\Temp directory exists and is EMPTY - this is very important. You then need to create a "getlist.txt" file:
    echo \minint\system32\winpeoem.sif > getlist.txt
