Lenovo W510 Charger.

Hi,
      Lenovo W510 comes with a charger ( AC Adapter ) which gives out 135W  and 20V [ Output : 20V  and 6.75A ]  and this charger is bigger in size and it is heavy to carry around.
I have a  lenovo T61P's Charger which gives out 65W and 20V [ Output : 20V  and 3.25A ] , but this is smaller in size and easy to carry around, Can this T61P's charger can be used for W510 whenever I carry laptop outside.
Regards,
Vijay.

>How come Lenovo techs don't read them.
They do sometimes, but this forum is not a official support channel.
>I bought a 510 thinking I would have EXTRA adapters
>I believe this will be my LAST lenovo product.
No offence, but you cannot blame Lenovo for buying the wrong product. If using the old power is that important to you then T510 would have been a better choice and you should have made a bit more reseach before buying the computer. The information is easy to find using google, visit a forum, visit the Lenovo homepage or stop by a Lenovo dealer. You cannot expect computers to keep the backward compatiblility for ages and still include the latest technology.
W510 is the most powerful Lenovo 15.6" laptop so they require a lot of power as well. If this product require more power than the 90W adapter can provide it's a better option to create a new power adapter instead of sacrifice what is the whole point with the W series which is to create the most powerful laptop. I'm pretty sure that the customers that need/want the most powerful laptop available would prefer new and faster components/technology instead of making sacrifices just because Lenovo choose to stick with the old power adapter so the customer can save a few bucks. It's not like a power adapter cost a fortune either. It's like if i buy a car with two seats and later blame the manufacturer of the car because there are no room for my kids. In that case i can only blame myself for buying the wrong product.
The IT industry develop very fast and there has to be some sacrifices to be able to implement the newest technology. This is not unique for Lenovo and you will find the same for any laptop manufacturer if they want to keep up with the newest technology. If they don't their products will be outdated pretty fast.
I'm not sure what kind of bay adapter you bought, but the current one been available for pretty long now.

  • Upgrade CPU In Lenovo W510

    Hi! I am new here, I have owned IBM and Lenovo products. I juust recently purchased a new Lenovo W510 It has a Intel 720QM Processor and I would like to do a CPU upgrade. I have done some research and it has left me with a few questions. I have read that there has been some success with putting 920XM CPU in this machine but the problem is 50 watt power supply and the power supply is 45 watt so you are underpowered the CPU buy 5watts! How will this effect the performance of the 920XM longterm and in everyday usage?Not to mention the obvious the battery and power brick! I have heard through these forrums that These machines already are not the greatest  at keeping these quad's cool already. I have looked at the  Intel 840QM processor which only needs a 45 watt power supply. the performance is very close to the 920XM on paper but what is the real difference as far as user performance for the money? The 840QM  is 1.86GB To turbo out at 3.2 GB which correct me if I am wrong is the top power of the 920XM. So did Lenovo put the 840QM In the W510 and if so,can anyone tell me how it performes? and if Lenovo didn't why not it seems like a good way to not have to change the heat sinks or the power supply. I really would like some input on this before I do an upgrade. Thanks In Advance    

    My unit came with a 135w power supply, but it's nice to know I can run it on a 90w. I have the 90w slim with auto and airplane adapters, so I'm glad I can run it on that, or at least use it to charge the unit while I'm driving.
    The 135 p/s is huge, but I hear the one with the w520 is even bigger. I can understand why you'd want a more powerful adapter with such a powerful unit, but I think even if it draws more then 90w, as long as you have a charged battery, you should be able to run it using a combination of battery and ac power, then when your battery gets low, either shut down or put it in standby until it can recharge. This would be far from ideal, but would be better then refusing to boot, but since you say the boot error can be bypassed, it's a moot point.
    Regarding the fan on my unit, I've done a parts lookup, and it lists the cpu number, but no heatsink/fan assembly.

    I guess there would be no way of knowing if this has the same one the extreme cpu does without visual confirmation. It's not an issue now anyway, this will suit all my needs, but in a year or two I will probably consider an upgrade if a good deal appears.
    My only concern now is installing 16GB of ram and a 64bit OS.

  • Lenovo w510 will not boot after BIOS update

    Hi, 
    This morning I used the windows bios update utility to update my Lenovo w510 type 4318. Everything appeared to have been successful until the machine rebooted. It froze on the lenovo splash screen with text saying to press the blue think vantage button for more options. 
    I waited a good 30 minutes to make sure it wasn't processing anything before trying again. When frozen pressing the power button cause system to beep two times Pause and beep three more times. 
    Called Lenovo support and was told since out of warranty (2/12) the onlyI option is for paid mail in repair at quoted maximum of $575. Needless to say I was very dissatisfied - and made this clear to support who informed there was no way to escalate and no other options. 
    Does anyone have any other options or ability to escalate this case and keep a Lenovo customer. really disappointed

    Btw, reason i updated bios to fix issue with usable ram showing 3 gb.

  • I'm saturating the microphone on my Lenovo W510 but I can't find how to lessen the sensitivity

    The microphone is apparently the two holes in the bottom of the display frame.
    I'm saturating it with my booming voice, as I try to do a demo for customers
    I have to be near the mic to use the keyboard - so I want to lower the sensitivity of the mic (Linux Centos 6).
    How can I lower the sensitivity of the Lenovo W510 microphones?

    Thanks for the advice.
    I found that I 'could' modify the settings depending on how the recording program was invoked.
    What happened during testing was that the gtk-recordMyDesktop GUI recordings didn't exhibit clipped loud speaking while the recordmydesktop command-line interface results were always clipped. From that, I surmised there is a default setting to each that caused the problem or overcame the problem of clipped loud speaking (i.e., the horrid sound of overdriven amplifiers).
    Link to picture
    In addition, I installed the Gnome AlSA mixer (ALSA === Advanced Linux Sound Architecture).
    $ sudo yum --enablerepo=linuxtech-release install gnome-alsamixer
    And, I'm currently playing with its settings - which seem to favorabley affect the horrid clipping effect.
    I'll report back after I test it s'more.

  • Will my Lenovo W510 WiFi work with a 2.4:5Ghz Netgear N600 WNDR3400 dual-band home broadband router?

    My first post ever ... so please be gentle with me.

    As an update, I bought the WNDR3400v2 router and am supremely disappointed with its lack of power - but - the Lenovo W510 DOES work perfectly fine connecting to both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz radios.
    The problem is the signal strength only twenty feet away up one floor is dismal (as compared to what it was with the ancient Linksys WRT54G for example).
    What bothers me is that Netgear goes to great lengths to hide the power output of the radio so I 'suspect' that it is anemic and I don't (yet anyway) suspect the radio on the W510 laptop. Netgear support would only tell me the EIRP at 2.4GHz is 20dBm, and at 5GHz it's double that. So I can only assume the power output from that. If I assume a 5dBi antenna gain for both frequencies, that results in a power output guesstimate of 15dBm (32mW) at 2.4GHz and double that at, i.e., 18dBm or 64mW, at 5GHz.
    The other side of the equation, of course, is the power & gain of the W510 radio & antenna.
    Do we have specs for the W510 power output & antenna gain (e.g., a typical laptop is about 50mW (roughly 15 to 18 dBm)  pushed into an antenna with a gain of about 1/2 dBi to about 1 dBi at best, regardless of what the specification sheet intimates)?

  • T410 and W510 - Charger & batteries compatibil​ity

    Hello,
    I will try to be as brief as possible, pardon me for my ignorance on this topic.
    My T410 is faulty beyond repair and I bought a W510. So I now have a spare AC Adapter and 2 spare batteries for T410. The batteries for T410 is the exact same size and can fit in the W510.
    The details:-
    T410 AC Adapter

    PSE 10.8V 4.68Ah
    With reference to the specs above, my questions are:
    1) May I use the T410 6-cell and slice battery on my W510? If so, do I need to use the T410 adapter on my W510?
    2) Will I kill my battery or my notebook...
    a) ... if I use the T410 adapter on my W510?
    b) ... if I use the W510 adapter to charge the T410 batteries slotted on my W510?
    I regret for not paying attention in class
    Any help appreciated.

    seems like you are wasting your time.....Lenovo in their infinite wisdom have decided that you can either use a docking station or a stand, but not both! How ridiculous is that? I'm instead buying T400's that are still in stock (for a great price) and trying to source a docking station and stand from somewhere else as my supplier tells me they dont have any in stock and are unlikely to get more.
    I think it is very poor that lenovo have removed this option....why would I want a stand that I coudnt dock with? This is a deal breaker for me, and I will be looking at other brands from now on due to this.

  • Lenovo t530 charger broken please help me

    Ok so I'm currently studying abroad and the other day the power cord ripped by the plug and now the wires are exposed. Wrapping it in electrical tape did nothing and now I'm stuck here without a computer to do work on as every time I plug it into an outlet it shuts the circuit breaker down for the whole house. What do I do because the only thing I can think of is buy a new charger which will run me 60 dollars for some reason on lenovos website. please help

    Hi,
    do you mean the power cord from the wall outlet to the charger itself? If yes, just purchase this cable, this is standard power cable for your country, costs several bucks.

  • Lenovo W510 - HDD or SSD Upgrade

    If the SSD for laptop with 240 GB (additional - i do not want to disturb the existing 125 GB SSD tht came with the laptop). If this is a costly affair, probable options for adding HDD without disturbing the existing factory fitted OEM's SSD would be great.

    Is it a Full High Definition (FHD) screen i.e., 1920 x 1080 or the HD+ screen i.e., 1600x900 or basic HD 1366x768 ? I don't think it will have HDMI, but rather a DisplayPort, which you would need a dongle to convert to HDMI (about $30). Does it have the hardware HueyPro colour calibrator ? Fingerprint reader ?
    That's a call that I can't make for you mate. It really depends on what features and performance factors you prioritize.  For 350 British Pounds (about $545 Canadian $), there are a number of basic laptops that now carry the more energy and heat efficient i5 dual core processors, but probably only come with 4-6GB RAM, however you can bring those up to 8GB yourself for about $50. Do you need now or in the future, quad core processing ? Systems  from Dell, Asus, etc. will probably be better multimedia systems, and lighter as well. The Thinkpad's are business-class laptops, and will likely be more solid, and reliable rather than slick and quick. I chose my W510 over the Dell XPS 15 wtih similar specs and price because I valued the ThinkPad keyboard and TrackPoint, the matte FHD screen I have, and the color calibrator.
    I would suggest making yourself a list of laptop features and then prioritizing them for yourself. Then see what other laptops are available for your price point, and compare your valued featrues to the W510 and similarly priced systems, and that will help you make an informed choice. Hope that helps.

If Scroll Lock is turned on, but there is no Scroll Lock on your keyboard, then you may want to try using the On-Screen Keyboard and see if it is enabled there, There is also a setting on the status bar that should allow you to disable it.

  • Another lenovo (W530) doesn't charge a battery

    Hi folks!
    I was a happy owner of brand new W530 machine untill I mentioned that it doesn't charge the battery.
    The machine came to me with 94% charged batt and since then it got to 4% mark.
    Symptoms:
    -Lenovo Power Manager detects the batt, says it's good and charging, doesn't estimate how long it would get to charge it.
    -Windows power manager says "Pluged in, charging"
    -W530 worked perfectly on the batt, I made it to drain the battery by unplugging power cord and running "heavy" applications.
    -The battery indicator on top cover is flashing orange once per second.
    -AC Power source outputs 20.5V, BIOS v.1.08, Lenovo software of the most current versions.
    What I've tried:
    -Uninstalling and reinstalling Lenovo Power Manager.
    -Enabling/Disabling/Uninstalling "Microsoft ACPI - blah-blah"
    -Unplugging power cord and battery, pressing power button for 40 seconds and assebmling all together.
    Any working ideas are wellcome.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    What have happened since my last post:
    Note: Lenovo power manager used to estimate power consumption 60-70W even if W530 in idle state. I thought it's ok, w530 is a powerful machine with 170W AC adapter.
    Lenovo was charging the battery very  slow (estimated 14 hours to full from 40%), with stops.
    I was looking through this forum and desided to check if I have CUDA enabled. I launched GPU-Z and found out that K2000M was suspened. Then device manager showed me troubles with K2000M. I reinstalled it with fresh drivers and rebooted. Despite K2000M was functioning since then, power consumtion is floating between 28-33W (almost idle state) and the battery is being charged like it should (1% per 2-3min).
    Now I may confirm that my lenovo works fine. 
    BTW It's still about 0.35V between first and last battery contacts. Looks like w530 doesn't output charging current if it doesn't detect any battery.
    PS Still no CUDA support

    I don't have iTunes on the Windows machine.  I am simply using it as a power source, it has always worked this way until recently.  Perhaps a Windows Update?

  • W510 problems with Nvidia driver recovery under Windows 7 (64 bit)?

    Lenovo W510, Nvidia Qudardo FX 880M video, FHD:
    What I'm seeing on occasion is a Windows 7 (64-bit) recovery, screen blanks out, goes 2-3 seconds, then recovers, things go back to normal, but a message displays saying that an error was detected in the video driver, and it has recovered. The new Firefox (4.0.1) seems to be one of the things that may be a contribution, hard to tell.  Per System Update at least, I'm current on the Lenovo downloads. SIW shows the driver level as 8.17.12.5738 (2010-06-27). Nvidia web-site shows their current driver level on the wen-site as 270.61 (2011-04-18), which is a considerably newer date at least. So two questions:
    Has anyone else seen Driver/Recovery issues on Win 7 (64)
    Has anyone directly run the Nvidia video drivers and had them run OK?
    Seems like it would be nice for Lenovo to update their drivers, if indeed this is a driver issue, they appear back-level.

    I used to have this problem with my W510 running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit, especially Firefox 4 crashing the Nvidia display driver almost constantly. I googled and found that this is a known problem between older Nvidia driver and Firefox 4. Later on I downloaded the latest version of Nvidia driver from Lenovo website (it was not posted on the System Update server yet but was available on the regular download site). I clean-installed it (i.e., removing all files and settings created by the old driver) and I haven't experienced the problem since then.

  • How can I install Windows XP on my Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2 with all partitions deleted?

    Lenovo Masters:
    Good day to you all.
    I would like to ask how can I install WinXP in my S10 (no DVD drive)?  First, I want to share that I committed the mistake of using it without any anti-virus software installed.  As a result, it bugged down.  Now in my attempt to reformat it and make it as fresh as day one, I followed the steps on how to make a bootable USB drive.  I was not aware that this unit is only compatible with WinXP (I tried to upgrade to Win7).  And in the process, I deleted both partitions of the HDD.. Now I'm receiving the message "windows was not able to detect a hard drive.. blah.. blah.." dead end for me..
    Can anyone grant me his/her generosity and enlighten me on what to do? Badly need help.. Thanks! 

    you should format the partitions, i think, you haven't done it so, windows can't detect any harddisk installed or your harddisk is dead.
    try to format the disk by using windows installation ( usb ) and try to install again.
    also, check if you see your hdd under bios ( press f2 to load bios, then check bios order )
    ordering recovery discs won't help you due to you don't have any dvd-rom. i suggest you to call lenovo support line and ship your laptop back to service to reset your harddisk to its default.
    ( lenovo may charge you )
