You "can" install the LTT programs, however you "should not" install the Power Manager feature, after the main programs intallation. Use the Energy Management on your 570.

  • X200 power management issue - excessive battery drain

    I've been having a bit of an issue for some time with my X200 that I'm hoping somone may be able to offfer some insight on.  My 9 cell battery only gives about 6 hours on a full charge.  The laptop is about 5 months old, but the battery is in good shape (82kwh out of 84kwh capacity).
    On an initial startup the power usage is normal, hovering at around 7-8 watts (looking at the Battery tab wattage in Power Manager). This level roughly maintains even if i am doing light tasks.  This strikes me as normal, and would give the regular nine or ten hours of battery life I had when i first got the computer.
    However, if I allow the computer to either sleep or hibernate, even a few minutes after resume the power consumption (AT IDLING, nothing open) rises to an idling pace of about 11-12 watts. This doesn't go back down to the pre-sleep/hibernate levels, ever (until a restart).  The 25% or so increase in power consuption after sleep/hibernate happens regardless of which power profile I'm in (though the above usage #'s assume I'm in max battery mode with 4 bars of screeen brightness os so).
    This means that 25% or so more power is being consumed after the computer resumes from sleep or hibernate, with a corresponding drop in battery life.  Can anyone offer some insight on why this might be, ways I might go about trying to figure out where the excesssive power onsumption comes from, and/ or possible fixes?

  • Lenovo G510 Power Management Probleme

    Hey Guys i have a really anoying probleme with my new Lenovo Laptop. When i put the charger in, it runs slower than o battery. For example if i want to play a game and want to plugg it in so that it wont use the battery my performance is affected. I do not have eny power manager drivers instaled except the usual Windows power manager. I had one instaled but was pretty much useless and i've deleted it. Please help, i dont know what to do and its very anoying.

    Hi Albulescu,
    As you have performed the exact steps with the Power Plan for Maximized performance of the computer with or without AC Adapter connected, the only available option is to re-install the Intel Chipset driver for the computer and if the issue persists. I would strongly suggest you to contact our Technical Support for further Assistance also to get the details of the nearest Authorized Service Center to get the issue analyzed.

  • Power Mac G5 DP1.8GHz - Bad Logic Board or Power Management Issue?

    I have a Power Mac G5 DP1.8GHz/1.5GB/80GB which I bought non-working. It has not yet been disassembled or examined by a certified tech. This is it's issue (which replicates): the computer powers on. It makes a single warning tone, then the LED flashed at least 15 times (too fast to count). Then the posting chord is heard. Hard drive spins up. Then nothing (no video). Won’t boot from any disk. I have changed the RAM and tested the RAM banks with known-to-be-good RAM from another DP1.8GHz G5. The warning tone stopped once or twice after this switch, but then it didn’t chime. I changed the PRAM battery, but not with as new one. However, after installing the used one and then resetting the PMU, it displayed video briefly for the first time. While installed in the other 1.8GHz G5, the hard drive was formatted, given a clean install of OS X 10.4.11, and then moved into this computer where is never mounts. The computer is not accessible through TDM.
    Do I have a bad logic board? Bad CPUs? A power managment issue? A RAM issue?

    Through my own trial and error troubleshooting, I have found the CPUs to be in good working order and the logic board passes the Apple Service Diagnostic every time. Despite the installation of numerous pairs of modules that worked in another DP1.8GHz, the computer has a RAM issue-it gives the "no good RAM" tone most of the time when it powers up (after a PMU reset it does not). Also the computer boots from disk or into Open Firmware but the disk utility can't see either hard drive so I may have a bad SATA controller.

  • Power management issue USB 2.0 Root Hub

    82801EB USB 2 Enhanced host controller .
    USB 2.0 Root Hub
    Power management issue.
    The check box of the Function (Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power)  Remains always unchecked , it does not matter if you check it , in the next check in the properties window it will be unchecked again .
    My problem is that my system does not hibernate if I set time more than 15 minutes or so.
    The system stays-On for ever, I have check for software issues, but everything looks normal, at my search for power management problems in drivers, I found this issue, with the USB 2 controller.
    I have unplug any USB device from it, and the power management status does not change also.
     The INTEL driver file is very fresh, 29/4/2004.
    Does any one have any ideas, Beta driver or other solution?

    Well i think that i found my real problem , even if the above issue is not 100% responsible for my troubles .
    The AVAST antivirus was blocking the hibernation , by one function called as ( On acces file check ) .
    I did disable it , and my system now hibernates .
    The point is that even now , i am not 100% certen that the system will act corectly its and every time .
    But at list i did a good step on the corect direction.

  • 870A-G54 - power management issues

    A power-management issue with standby. I've set standby to be "S3" in the BIOS - the system goes into standby fine and wakes up fine.
    The problem is, if the system is in standby for a few hours, at some point during that time, it turns itself off fully. As in, powered-down-pressing-the-power-button-causes-the-system-to-boot-from-scratch "fully off". This has happened three times so far (every time I've left the system on standby for a long period). This happens whether the BIOS "EuP 2013" setting is enabled or disabled.
    The duration of time is less than 4hrs, though I don't know what the cutoff is exactly.
    No power-cuts. ;-)
    Any suggestions? I don't know much about ACPI (had to look up what to set the "standby" to in the first place).
    MSI 870A-G54
    Athlon II x3 450
    Powercool 1gb AMD 5670 gfx
    2*2gb RAM
    Antec Earthwatts 380 Green PSU
    500GB Samsung HDD
    Windows XP SP3 32 bit
    NOT over/underclocked in any way.

    Right, I've been conducting some experiments to try and narrow this down.
    With the New powersupply (the Antec 380 Earthwatts):
    - S1 standby works fine.
    - S3 standby works for 12-13 minutes. After that the blinking-power-led stops blinking. If at this point I press the power-button, the computer does NOT turn on. It remains completely unresponsive. I have to wait about 2 more minutes before the power button starts responding, at which point I am booting from scratch (BIOS).
    With the Old powersupply, a non-brand (It says "COLORSit") 400w affair that's known-good.
    - S1 standby works fine.
    - S3 standby does not work at all. The system is powered-off but actually turns off fully rather than into standby. No flashing power-LED. Pressing the power button results in booting from scratch (BIOS).
    This old-powersupply was tested with the EuP 2013 both enabled and disabled.
    For both experiments the dvd-drive was disconnected, so we can rule that out too (though it was never really a contender. :-) )
    Given this, I'm inclined to rule out the powersupply as a cause - this is a years-old power-supply that I've never had a problem with.
    Anyone have any thoughts? I'm leaning towards motherboard, but standby isn't something I know much about, so I defer to the board for suggestions.

  • Power Manager 2.30 Won't Install on Vista on R60

    I have used System Update which tells me Power Manager is availa ble for install.  I install and its says it is successful and asks me to reboot.
    I reboot, but still now Power Manager.  If I rerun System Update, I again get told that Power Manager is available for install.  You get the idea.  Also, the first install removed my orginal Power Manager.
    I did successful install a Vista Power Manager driver.  I tried removing it and attempting again, but have only been able to install the Driver again and no Power Manager.
    Help appreciated.

    Hello,
    that´s bad, i would try a system restore, and when your system then runs satisfactionally, don´t Update!
    The new power manager seems to have trouble with starting up und some functions are deleted.
    Like showing of how much "watt" the system needs in DC mode.

  • Lenovo ThinkPad Power Manager/ Windows Power Options Issue: Display Re-awakens Immediately

    I want to share my experience with setting idle timers under Lenovo Power Manager or Windows Power Options, respectively.
    I noticed that every time the monitor just had dimmed or shut off according to my power savings options, it brightened up or turned on again only a few seconds later.
    I had seen the same behavior before using my Dell Latitude laptop, so I came up with the solution relatively quickly this time.
    The interference was caused by a Logitech wireless mouse, even though all drivers were installed correctly and the mouse was working flawlessly.
    Installing the Logitech SetPoint firmware solved the problem in both cases without further steps being necessary.
    Maybe this note will help other users facing the same issue. Good luck.

  • Issue with KDE power management plugin and battery monitor widget

    Hi everyone, I'm having troubles with the battery monitor widget on KDE: since I have installed the DM I get an error message during the startup saying that "no valid power management backend plugin is available", so I can't get my battery monitor working. Does anyone know how could I do to have this problem solved?

  • Thinkpad L520 Power Management Issues

    Hi all,
    I have to report several issues with my Thinkpad (Core i5 2520M).
    Both seem to be related to power management, that's why I decided to put them in one thread.
    The problems occur on battery and with ac power connected, I have a 90 Watt power supply.
    I am running Windows 7 x64 on my laptop, and I've applied all patches from Microsoft Update and Lenovo System Update.
    All drivers are up to date. I am using the latest BIOS file (1.20).
    The first problem is: My Thinkpad does not automatically increase CPU speed, it is always staying at 800 Mhz.
    Even running Prime95 does not trigger some upscaling.
    I experienced the same behaviour under Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, which I booted to check the problem.
    In Windows, I set all power management options to full power (Windows Energy Control Panel and Lenovo Power Manager as well), still no change. 
    A complete BIOS reset (with removing the CMOS battery) did not change the situation.
    The only workaround so far is, to run a software called "ThrottleStop", and to uncheck the box saying "BD PROCHOT". After doing so, the CPU is scaling up to 2.5 Ghz, but still does not enter Turbo mode.
    The program has to be re-run after every boot to enable upscaling.
    The second issue is:
    I have bought a secondary hard drive bay, and the containing disk keeps spinning down after a few seconds of idle. (Yes, seconds!) The disk is working fine, does not have SMART errors and does not show this behaviour in another laptop and as an external USB drive.
    I disabled all power savings options again (Window, Power Manager, and Disk AAPM), which could cause such behaviour, but still no luck. The first hard drive is an SSD, therefore I can't tell, if this drive is also affected by that behaviour.
     UPDATE: After booting Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, I can verify that the behaviour is identical to Windows.
    Since both of these problems seem to be related to some part of the power management, I am wondering if there is some bug in the BIOS itself or maybe some faulty system driver.
    Any help on that would be appreciated, since normally working with the Thinkpad is rather annoying, considering the slow speed and the constant spin-up/down of the drive.
    Best,

    Hi,
       everybody suggests "hdparm -B 254 /dev/sdxxxx". This does NOT work. At all. The Load Cycle Count keeps going up. The 2nd HDD (in the CD/hdd caddy) powers down every few seconds, then up again.
       I found this works: "hdparm -S 25 /dev/sdxxxxx" (change sdXXX in sda, sdb, or whatever relevant to your case). It sets spindown every 25*5 seconds. Second hdd is practically always on and LoadCycleCount remains constant. 
    I am also using "hdparam -S 0" to disable drive power management entirely.

    Please Please can you check something for me?
    I have two hard drives (second is in aftermarket caddy), but it seems the second hd (the one in the caddy) is NOT seen by BIOS at boot. So I can only boot from the internal hdd. After booting, the second hdd is seen by Linux, SATA link reports 3Gb, no issues, all is fine.
    Same here, the secondary hard drive is not seen in BIOS or in the BIOS boot menu.
    After booting Windows/Linux, the drive works fine.
     UPDATE: Even in good ol' DOS, the drive is seen. (I just booted DOS for a firmware update of an SSD drive, which was installed in the hard drive caddy.)
    Where did you get the BIOS v1.32? The latest on the Lenovo Website and in System Update is 1.20..
    Can you verify something for me too?
    On my L520, Turbo Mode does not work at all, how about yours?
    You can verify under Windows using hwinfo (http://www.hwinfo.com/ ).
     For Linux, there's http://code.google.com/p/i7z/ , but you'll have to compile it.

  • Ideapad s400 touch bios or other hidden power management while on battery? or battery just weak?

    Hi,
    I have problems with performance when unplugging my ideapad s400 touch, and it does not seem to be related to windows or intel graphics power settings.
    Example, while plugged in with full battery (not charging), I can play Skyrim at 600x800 with 28-30 fps (all shadows turned off and with reduced textures, in case you are wondering how that is possible)
    But when I unplug, or the computer is charging, the game will be only barely playable at  480x640 with 18-26 fps (besides res. of course same settings).
    In both cases, the intel graphics options and in the Lenovo Energy Management is set to the high/max performance settings.
    So I am wondering if there are some hidden Bios power management or some other hidden power management going on, when it is unplugged or charging?
    Or if simply the battery can not deliver the same juice as when it is plugged in?
    Thanks for any help,
    L

    hi x8lars,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    Can you try changing the power plan on your system to a High Performance Settings,
       Also check the Advanced power settings and make sure that the Maximum  Processor start and minimum are set the same with the Plugged in.
    Let me know your settings,
    Cheers!

  • MacBook Pro Power Management Issues and "Broken" Bootcamp

    This is not a question but rather a solution I have discovered to a problem I have experienced many times now.
    My Core 2 Duo 15" MacBook Pro (non-LED version) has exhibited several issues with the systems power management hardware.
    Firstly: Occasionally the system will refuse to turn on. This has happened to me twice, it usually happens when I am running on just batteries. The very first time it happened I was in a meeting and had important data I had to get from the laptop, I was silently panicking. After swearing at my new 2.5 grand pride and joy, I happened to read an old support article relating to older PowerBooks which exhibited the same problems. Apple recommended taking the battery out and then holding the power button for several seconds and then reinserting the battery. This apparently resets the power management hardware feature -- and it worked, and has worked three times since.
    Secondly: I have had a persistent problem when running Bootcamp. Sometimes the machine doesn’t go to sleep properly and although it everything looks right it continues to run (and perhaps, like me, you’ve backed it away in your bag and hence didnt notice it burning up. What has happened to me several times is that it literally "breaks" Windows XP. When you wake the computer or turn it back on (if the battery drained) then youll find Windows running PAINFULLY slow. If you press CTRL-ALT-DELETE (to bring up the task manager) I would see that the CPU is working very hard (at nearly full utilization) and it is so occupied that it won’t respond to anything I do at all. No matter what I did (I attempted a system restore, which was a two hour task with the computer running in its "broken" state) nothing would bring windows back to life. The first two times this occurred I was devastated because the only thing left for me to try was to remove the windows partition and install it fresh (thus losing all my files and settings -- although for the record you can still access the windows partitions files through Mac OS X). This ruined a near full day for me each time the computer did this (having a lot of settings and tweaks and installed programs to reapply). The third time this happened I did the "trick" listed above and reset the MacBook Pro's power management hardware. this has solved the problem ever since (two additional times now). I post this in case someone experiencing the same issue searches the forum.
    I dont know the technical explanation but obviously there is an issue within this series of MacBook Pro's power management. Perhaps it relates to the "artificial" BIOS the system presents to windows through Apple's EFI system (Windows requires legacy BIOS to operate and all Intel Macs alternatively use EFI, so an extra "trick" had to be added by Apple for Windows to be compatible).

    The computer. If two different batteries behave the same way it gives credence to possible issues with the power manager. You can try resetting it with:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
    And verifying the firmware is up to date:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303880
    And running the hardware test:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303081
    If nothing seems to help, call AppleCare again, and tell them the battery replacement did not solve the problem and that you tried the above and tell them the results you got.

  • Thinkpad X60 - Power Manager issue

    Hi,
    I just have to install the Power Manager version 1.89 into my Thinkpad x60.
    However, it shows the "Black" Triangle which is located next to the power manager guage in the task bar.
    Before the installation, I have not this problem. And I am using the genuine battery.
    Could anyone help ? Any previous version can I download to avoid that problem?
    Thanks,
    Tlee

    While I see the information of the black triagnle, it shows "my battery can run 3.x hrs, the new battery can run 5.x hrs" and inform the link to lenovo. It seems ask the user to purchase the new battery.
    But I want to point out. my battery is in good condition. I think I no need to purchase the new battery at the time.
    Now, my battery is suddenly damaged. While I read the my battery information from the power manger, it shows 99% capacity. But the current is " 0 ". It seems the battery is internal locked.
    It is not really likes as you said the battery would likely fail soon. Since, I can use it more than 3 hrs continously ( 8Cells)
    Also, I searched many posts and indicated that my battery is the detect unit within Lenovo recall program FRU no: 93P5029.
    But nobody inform me before. Now, the recall program is expired..............
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67765 
    PS: my battery first charged at 2006-12 / Cycle count is 134

  • Power Management Issues with Windows 8.1 RTM on HP Elitebook 8560w

    Installed Windows 8.1 RTM on my HP Elitebook 8560w yesterday and am having the same problem as with Windows 8.1 Preview before - power management is not working correctly. The screen will dim real shortly and come right back after the set amount of minutes, but it does not turn off. Standby never occurs. I have the power managent plan set to "balanced", but neither plugged in or on battery do the set timers work. The only thing that works is manually pressing the power button to go into standby.
    Anybody else see this problem or is there a bug fix for this?

    Windows 8.1 is not an official release, and still a beta program and not officially supported.  Also, your EliteBook is a Business model.  Your future issues would be best answered on the HP Enterprise Business Community Forum
    Good luck!
