  • Lenovo y510p audio problem on Windows 10 x64

    Hi i am using lenovo y510p and i having some problem.After installing Windows 10 x64 I can`t use the 5.1 speakers connected via optics. At sound check box gives "Failed to play test sound"/
    To solve these problem I tried:
    1. Reinstalt drivers Realtek (tried as a version from official Lenovo suport and the latest version from Realtek);
    2.Plug and unplug optics (Realtek Didgital Output) in "Sound";
    3.Restart the Windows Audio  service.4. Reinstalt chipset and audio drivers.
    Now the external speakers working in stereo .

    The drivers listed for under Y510p was not the lastest for our audio hardware, hence why I gave you a link to (what I think) is the latest version. Those should have no problem working under Win 10 (and maybe Win 8.1).
    Y510p has a "weak" audio chipset in the sense that it isn't handled well by the drivers providided on Realtek's homepage.

  • Windows 8.1 update problem on LENOVO Y510P

    Hey guys, 
    Can't find anything similar to my problem and exhausted my options on this, so decided to ask. If it has been answered I couldn't find, so please point me out on the right direction.
    Back history:
    Have a lenovo y510p
    Bought caddy & SSD drive and installed it onto laptop
    Couldn't find a good doc about how to proced so my idea was
    1-restore factory settings,
    2-Copied the Windows C: partition and the SYSTEM_DRV partition to the SSD using Macrium reflect
    3-Went on the BIOS boot order and set the SSD to boot first.
    4-Voila, works fine, boots C: on the SSD and it's super fast.
    Problem:
    Windows 8.1 update can't install on C:. Bummer
    I receive a notification saying that I can update to windows 8.1, which I want to do.
    1 Hit ok to download,
    2 it starts the update process,
    3 finishes installing,
    4 says it needs to restart
    5-RESTARTS TO THE OLD DRIVE, changing the boot order on the BIOS (**bleep**???)
    I then check that nothing was installed even on the old drive, proceed to shut down computer, change boot order back to SSD drive, start windows and receive a message that it couldn't be installed and it has reverted the installation.
    Has anyone ever experienced that?
    My idea now is to 
    Back up my computer again
    Restore factory settings (on old drive)
    Install windows 8.1 to old drive
    Clone windows partition over 
    Change BIOS to boot up on SSD.
    HOWEVER my question is: What happens when I want to install Windows 10 ? Do you think I'll face the same issue? 
    Should I somehow format the old drive's windows partition to prevent this from happening ? 
    Any help is welcome and I thank you all in advance,
    Cheers

    Did you erase the recovery partition on the old drive? My best guess is to create recovery discs or thumbdrive take the old drive out and put the new drive in and use the discs or thumbdrive to restore the system. Then run the updates and then copy your personal information from the old disc to the new disc.
    As for Windows 10, I do not know if they are going to be doing a clean install with the update to windows 10 or doing an in place update so it is hard to know what problems you will encounter.

  • Lenovo y510p DVD burner problems

    Dear Mehnihma
    Welcome in lenovo community
    If this is the first time to face the issue as it was working before so the System restore will be the best solution .
    Restore your system to the nearest restore point when the machine was working fine before 
    Let me know

  • New 520 w/sleeping problem

    My new 520 w/Windows7 has a sleeping problem.  In spite of the Control Panel Power Management options being set to NEVER for both Battery and AC Power which is confirmed in the Lenovo Toolbox, the computer enters the sleep mode in about one minute after no mouse or keyboard activity.
    Lenovo support says it is an OS problem and MS Support insists it is a hardware problem.  I'm stuck in the middle.

    Try uninstalling the Power Manager and power management driver.
    Reboot then install both again and see if it helps.

    I have a Y2P (i5) ... Feel free to ping me if you want me to test some applications with your Y2P if you have the same model. I don't mind keep doing recovery on it if needed .... =)

  • Lenovo y510p Replacement Charger - Please HELP

    I have a problem, a big one. 4 months ago, my Lenovo y510p's charger conked off. I have been looking for the 120W replacement charger for 4 months. I called Lenovo, visited service centers, it has been a torture. My Rs. 80,000 worth laptop lies gathering dust. I can neither use it, nor sell it, nor get the data off from it (it only has enough charge to last 15 mins, so I've kept it switched off all these months). I have tried to contact Lenovo on social media for the last 2 months (you will find my post on the Lenovo India Facebook page every 2 weeks. Same story repeat, they keep saying we are going to contact you shortly with a solution and they disappear. Little did I know I would have to endure so much to get a simple charger replacement for a 2014 top end spec laptop from a company as big as Lenovo. 
    I am at my wits end. I don't know what to do. I'm desperate. Please, help me get a 120w replacement charger for my laptop.

    Lenovo P/N: 36200403
    S/N: 11S36200403ZZ6003ACBA8 PLEASE. HELP.

    I have dealt with MKCL and found them to be very helpful and efficient, not knowing which system you should be receiving as a replacement doesn't help me advise; due to the change to the **30 systems some "older" systems may be in short supply. That said we had an instance where the system to be replaced was no longer available and so they sent an even better one   took a couple of days longer than originally expected, but they kept us informed.
    The new system will have it's own warranty, if you purchased a servicepack you could ask MKCL to get it transferred to the new system, but before they can do anything they need to receive the new system from Lenovo because they don't get the s/n in advance.  Alternatively they may ask you to e-mail another department with the new systems details and your DOA call number.

    You mean you don't have a Nvidia card in the UltraBay? And Windows shows 2 Nvidia GPUs and Intel GPU at the same time?
    Have you checked BIOS/UEFI settings? From what I read, this thing has a hardware mux, so even with just one Nvidia GPU it's possible to switch between Intel/Nvidia/Optimus. But I couldn't tell if this can be done in BIOS/UEFI or if it requires some more magic that's done from Windows.

  • Lenovo Y510p SLI Screen Flickering

    Hello guys,
    I know most of the Y510p user have encounter the "Screen flicker like crazy" issue, and yes,i am here to write another thread about this issue.
    1.What is the reason that made it happened?
    I have checked lots of threads and posts about this issue and tried,neither of them actually do solve the problem.Lenovo also does not really seem to care about this issue too (No offense,but they will just tell you take it to the service center.)
    Is it because of faulty processor or graphic cards? or the display or LCD cable is broken?
    2.Is there a permanent fix for the problem?
    I have seen other user posted about their experience about  this model,stating it will still occur after services or changing a new one.I want to know if there is a real solution?
    Please share your thoughs and let me know if there is a fix for this. BTW,mine Y510p is still under-warranty.

    As you say that the screen flickers while booting as well (at the Lenovo logo or other parts), I believe that this could be a hardware issue related to either the screen or the motherboard.
    The only thing I can recommend is to contact Lenovo customer support and send in your laptop for repairs.
    You can call them in your country. Find the number from this link -

  • G510s/wind​ows 8.1 sleep problems (power management options & BIOS do not correct it)

    hi there,
    suddenly seemingly for no reason, the sleep function of my machine no longer works properly.  when the machine goes to sleep, it either shuts itself off or goes into unwakable hibernation, in which case i must shut  the machine off improperly and crash my open files.  the fan also stays on non-stop when it is in unwakable hibernation. 
    i have changed the power management options numerous times based on suggestions i have read about or been told via lenovo support, and in each case, the sleep function works properly the next 5 times or so, but then the same old problem arises again.
    in addition, i now receive pop-up boxes every time i turn the machine on that indicate that the start menu has been updated, and it asks me if i want to install skype, etc.  this is now a daily occurrance, and i wonder if it is related to the sleep problems, or if this is a new unrelated glitch.
    please tell me how to fix the machine, keeping in mind that i have already changed the power settings numerous times to no avail.  in addition, my BIOS is and always has been up to date, as this is a brand new machine.
    thanks very much in advance,
    tamara

    After upgrading to Windows 8.1 did you install the appropriate chipset driver and IMEI software?
    Which BIOS version did you install?

  • Possible reason for the iMac G5 with 10.4.3 Sleep Problems

    Ok first off let me say that I got this new iMac G5 20" about 4 days ago. It's wonderful. If anyone out there is holding out for the intel machines, don't wait, get a G5. It's a fantastic machine. Now on to the meat of the subject. The story goes like this; I hooked up my Plextor PVR with eyeTV to my iMac to see how well it would do (been using it with a P4 Windoze XP machine and my iBook G4 14" with no problems). It worked just great. No problems with the iMac, the PVR or any of my other addons (including the boatload of software I migrated over from the iBook). So I set up EyeTV to record some stuff while I was asleep. It's supposed to wake up the Mac, record the shows then the Mac goes back to sleep. Easy huh? Well the wakeup, record part went just fine but the Mac wouldn't go back to sleep. Perplexed (actually thrilled, this is where I have my most fun with new machines, figuring out why they aren't working correctly) I did all the standard "I can't get my Mac to sleep automatically" things. You know, blow away all the plist files that have anything to do with powermanagement and autowake, reset NVRAM from OF, reset the PRAM (3 times just like the old days), reset the SMU, blow away all the Bluetooth plist files, etc, etc. Did them all, don't suggest any, I did them all I swear, really. I've been through this kind of thing before. One big difference with this iMac. Nothing and I mean nothing would work to fix the problem. The only way the bad boy would sleep is by hitting the Power button for a second or selecting "Sleep" from the Apple menu. Hmmmm. Spent the better part of a morning reading every thread here about peoples problems like mine. One post and I mean exactly one had something I hadn't tried. I rebooted the Mac in Safe Mode (hold the shift key down while it boots until you get the login screen with the red text "Safe Mode".) I forgot that OSX even did that. Logged in as myself (normal login but still in safe mode) and low and behold the thing would sleep automatically! I repeated this (boot in normal mode, boot in safe mode) many times. Every single time the Mac would sleep from safe mode but not from normal mode. Tells me it's software not hardware. In each mode I run "Activity Monitor" and save a list of the running processes to a text file. Now compare them and shutdown each process that is different one at a time. To make this story somewhat shorter (heh) I finally found that I could consistantly make the machine sleep or not sleep by killing the "mdimport" process and restarting it. This has to do with Spotlight. To be exact, it's the process that imports Metadata into Spotlights data list (I'm no expert, have a basic understanding of this). So on a hunch I ran the terminal and entered the command to delete then rebuild Spotlights databases, "mdutil -E /". Then I let Spotlight rebuild that databases and rebooted. Guess what? The iMac sleeps perfectly now, go figure. I did this once so far and the Mac has been working correctly now for about 5 hours. I've got a feeling that the problem will come back. Especially if it's an inherent problem in Spotlight and the 10.4.3 upgrade. I don't seem to have this problem with 10.4 or earlier. Long post I know but I thought it could help someone out. Please post any comments. I'd like to know if what I did is coincidence (I really don't think so since I reproduced it many times) or not.

    iBook G4 1Gig, iMac G5 2.1 Gig, iMac 266   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   iMac 266 running 10.3.6, been using Macs since the '80s

    Right guy's i to have researched this problem
    concerning my auto sleep problem.I started off by
    following Joeaux's original post by safe
    booting,noting what was running in the activity
    monitor,booting normaly and again noting what was
    running now.I eliminated the same processes that were
    running from both boots, and then started quiting one
    by one, the extra processes, from the normal boot, in
    activity monitor.Once you quit a process, allow the
    computer to try to go to sleep i.e set energy saver
    to 1minute and wait to see what happens.I tried the "
    mdimport"as of Joeaux but this was not my problem.In
    my case the sleep problem was down to two
    applications called N67U_ButtonManager and
    N124U_ButtonManager.These are for use with my Canon
    scanner.I also noted that if i left the scanner
    connected to the computer this would also stop it
    going to sleep,even after deleting the two
    applications.Hope this helps!
    Thank you now i know that those login items are for my scanner, and not logic audio i am a little less angry(Logic is now an apple application but the version I run was from the emagic days and i presumed that the button managers were from this app as it was the oldest bit of software running on my machine) By the way any apps that may cause a problem like this are more than likely simply residing in your user login items and can be disabled from there permanently as far as i can see.

  • 15" AL PB G4 Sleep Problems

    Another in the long list of sleep problems. Running the latest & greatest Tiger and all that. I have read and read and READ! the discussions and followed most of the advise to no avail. Here's what's up.
    When I try to put the PB to sleep, either by closing the lid or through apple menu, everything starts out ok. Screen goes dark, LED comes on, Great! At the moment when the LED becomes brightest, the Superdrive makes a noise like it is cycling, and the PB wakes up. If I leave the lid closed it continues this indefinitely. If the lid is up, it wakes and the srceen flashes from desktop to black a couple of times the seems ok.
    When I open the lid after experiencing this behavior I can hear the machine wake, but screen stays black. Must turn off by holding down power button, then start up again and all is fine.
    Any one else experiencing this drive cycling?
    Thanx,

  • Unresponsive Keyboard and Trackpad problem AT STARTUP + Sleep problem

    When I turn on my computer it boots the OS and everything works except for the trackpad and the keyboard. I wait for about 5-7 minutes and then the trackpad and the keyboard start working.
    Additional problems:
    If I try to sleep my computer, the screen turns off, but the computer never stops working, so I have to force it to shut down.
    Temporal Solutions
    1) Boot in safe mode, it solves the trackpad/keyboard problems but not the Sleeping problem
    Attempted fixes
    1) Conencted external keyboard mouse/keyboard. Doesn't work
    2) Reset the battery controller.
    3) Reinstalled 10.6
    4) Installed 10.5
    5) Installed 10.6.3
    Known Stuff:
    1) The trackpad/keyboard are always connected as I can move the mouse and use some gestures with the Better Touch Tool app, and the keyboard works because if I click the Caps Lock key, the small led turns on.
    2) Also, I have the HardwareGrowler app which tells me if hardware gets connected or disconnected and it never tells me anything about the trackpad/keyboard getting disconnected.
    3) The OS is working at startup because apps show stuff and get updated and I can still get growl notifications.
    NOTE: This is an intermittent problem, about 1 out of 10 times I turn on the computer I GET the problem.
    Thanks a lot!

    I came across a similar issue as the original poster. My trackpad and keyboard are unresponsive for 5 - 7 minutes after startup. I've updated my OS to 10.6.4 twice and it's still happening. I recognized this behavior after the Preferences->Network pane froze while I was trying to remove a VPN setting. Removing /Library/Preferences/SystemConfigurations did not help the problem.
    Do any of you have advice on debugging the issue?

  • Power Mac G4 sleep problem

    Hello!
    My G4 (mdd) won't go to sleep anymore. Neither on its own via energy saver nor when you press the power button or select sleep in the apple menu. Does anyone know what to do?
    I already unplugged my USB devices, didn't help. Then I trashed my energy saver and bluetooth preferences and reset PRAM by pressing <commandoption+PR> at startup, no luck. I read all the previous posts about this issue and did everything they said, but it didn't help.
    maybe someone has an additional suggestion.
    Thank you!

    Power Mac G4 (mdd) 867 dual   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    A number of sleep-related issues can appear after incremental Mac OSX updates, including the inability to properly go to sleep, problems waking from sleep, and having your display go to sleep without your Mac going to sleep. The most common culprit is Bluetooth. Try these tips to fix your sleep problems.
    WAKE UP
    In System Preferences>Bluetooth, uncheck Allow Bluetooth Devices To Wake This Computer. If you are using a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, you'll have to wake your Mac by pressing the power button.
    FILE CORRUPTION
    Your Bluetooth preference file may be corrupt-you'll need to delete it. Turn Bluetooth off, then go to the /Users/user name/Library/Preferences folder. Look for a file called com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and trash it.The OS will create a new preference file when you enable Bluetooth again.
    ENERGY SAVER
    If you have issues with a Mac or display that goes to sleep at inappropriate times, you may have a problem with Energy Saver. Delete the following .plist files and restart:
    -/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
    -/Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist--(username is your name or System Administrators name).

    A restart is very important after deleting these plists. After a reboot your Mac will then generate new ones.
    In some cases, running MacOS X's cron tasks-maintenance that the OS performs automatically if you leave your Mac on 24 hours a day-can resolve many sleep problems. If you don't want to leave your Mac on, you can use MacJanitor, Yasu, or OnyX free at Versiontracker.com.
    Some, in these forums, have had luck fixing sleep issues downloading the combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try.
    Yours would be the 10.3.9 combo update. Others here would use the one for their version.
    Cheers!

  • Leopard sleep problem which seems related to Entourage 2008...

    Hi all,
    I have a MBP (3,1) running 10.5.2 and I noticed about 3 months ago that if I left the lid open the energy saver triggered sleep wouldn't kick in (very hot laptop next morning syndrome).
    I've read a number of other threads on Leopard auto-sleep problems (which pointed to the HP AIO frameworks) but this doesn't appear to be the same issue I have...
    If I quit Entourage 2008 then the computer will sleep after the correct period of time - and that's with no other changes to my normal use. Of course I'd like to not have to worry about quitting Entourage each time I might, maybe, just possibly not be back at the computer for a while.
    Now in the system log I do keep getting the following strange entries:
    /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Entourage.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft Entourage[914]: Warning: accessing obsolete X509Anchors.
    I have no idea what this really does and I do appear to have such a file in the system called X509Anchors...
    If I switch Entourage to Offline mode then the entries don't appear in the system log anymore but... the unit still won't sleep. It requires Entourage not to be running it seems.
    Having not seen anything else on the discussions forum relating to Entourage 2008 preventing auto-sleep I'm beginning to wonder whether it's just me?!?
    Anyone else seeing this effect? And most importantly, does anyone know of a fix?
    I have tried the NMS sleep utility stuff and although it worked perfectly whilst I was testing it using Energy saver timings of 1 minute... as soon as I upped the time back to my usual 30 minutes for CPU sleep it failed to work again.
    Any help much appreciated.

    Ok two things based on the crash report and the steps you took right before the crash:
    # Try to disable scrolling acceleration and restart Firefox. Does it continue to crash?
    # Try Safe Mode and do the same task as above with email and the pdf [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    # Also pdf.js may be helpful to read pdfs in the meantime. You can change the default reader in the Preferences/Options > Application menu of Firefox.
    # Try to clear out the downloads folder and update flash to version 14 (that should do it)
    IF it crashes again please also provide the new crash signatures and we can take a look :-) Sorry for the crashing :-(

  • IMac wake from sleep problem

    I have an Intel imac that I've had for about 9 months. It is on a normal sleep setting and I usually wake it from sleep by moving the mouse.
    In the past 3 weeks, though, I have had to wake it up by pressing the space bar. When I do this the computer pauses for a moment and I hear something wind down (I would say it is the hard drive, but the tone of the sound actually goes down rather than up - as if something got stuck on its way to sleeping).
    Any ideas about this ? I also had the computer go to sleep yesterday and not wake up (led lights on screen were on, but nothing on the screen). I powered it down and tried to turn it back on, but same result (backlight on, but no boot up). I finally had to pull the power plug and restart the computer with the power button depressed. This seemed to shake up the computer and get it running again.
    My sleep problem, though, is still the same. I'm not sure if these issues are related or not, but looking for some feedback on possible issues...
    Thanks, Mark

    Hi Mark
    +The System Management Controller (SMC) is a chip on the logic board that controls all power functions for your computer. If your computer is experiencing any power issue, resetting the SMC may resolve it. The SMC controls several functions, including:+
    +* Telling the computer when to turn on, turn off, sleep, wake, idle, and so forth.+
    +* Handling system resets from various commands.+
    +* Controlling the fans.+
    If you are still having any of the above issues reset the SMC as described in the following article!
