looking for 28a 35a and 16a 3.3 5 and 12v
So, you want at least 28a for 3.3, 35a for 5, and 16a for 12v rails, according to Wonk, who runs the same PSU that I do...and for a reason. ANd since you're running a TI4200, you'll probably want more.
Yours:
+3.3 V 20a
+5v 33a
+12v 15a
I've got 30 years in the business, and I'm not making this up. Your symptoms are just like those who have had underrated supplies and have fixed them by replacing the PSU. You are also in danger of wrecking your RAM, by the way, which costs much more than a PSU.
Don't know why you reported a problem if you don't want to even consider the advice, or avail yourself of the painstaking research I did.

2 Monitors went out

Can my Desktop computer make my Monitor go out When the first monitor went out the power light was on but the screen was black. My Brother tried it on his computer and it was doing the same thing. I had hooked up on mine my old Monitor I hooked it up. It worked fine at first. But buy the next morning it was out. The power light won't even come on.
Solved!

The odds of a computer causing a monitor to die are slim, usually there are other factors that cause this.

My iphone won't switch on. I've tried holding the power and home button more than 30 seconds up to a few minutes but it didn't switch on and went straight to recovery mode. It died of a low battery and i already fully charged it i checked with my itunes.

i really need help here. I have only used my iphone for a month. my iphone won't switch on. it died of a low battery and i've already fully charged it and usually before it even fully charged, it will turn back on right but in my case nothing happened. i've tried holding the power and home button for 30 seconds and up to 2-3 minutes but no logo appear. it went straight to recovery mode. there's nothing wrong with my cable, i checked with itunes and this happened once a week ago but it did switch back on after i tried a few times but now it just won't switch on. i also have problems with my screen as there's some noises to the screen (i hope you get me) and when i turned the camera on, it was as if the whole screen is shaking. i'm currently studying in the middle east and there's no apple store here so i cannot use my warranty. i will only be back home in summer. please help me what should i do to at least switch my iphone on first.

I did a little bit of experimenting. I have an iPad original versions myself. I took it out of the box knowing that I haven used it in months and I expected the battery to be dead and sure enough the battery was as dead as I imagined it would be. For the first 30 minutes I experienced exactly what you are experiencing, but then the iPad suddenly powered up on its own (like it does when plugged into the charger) and I am using it now to type this response to you.
My point is that I am starting tothink that your battery has suddenly died on you for some reason or you have a hardware problem now. I would still try leaving the iPad charge for a while longer - maybe even overnight - and then try again in the morning. Unplug the iPad and try resetting with the home and sleep buttons. Try plugging the iPad in again. Unplug it, try restarting again. Let it charge for a while again.
After trying something like that, if it still will not start up, then I think it's time for a trip to an Apple Store and see what the Apple Techs think.

Mirroring LG Monitor stuck in Analog Power Saving Mode

I have a macbook from 2006, and just attained an LG L1900J LCD monitor. When I connect the monitor to my macbook using a DVI to VGA Cable attached to a Mac mini DVI to VGA adapter I get no picture on the monitor and the message "Analog Power Saving Mode" appears before the monitor goes black and then switches into sleep mode.
I have used the Switch application to try and fix the issue, and I have also adjusted the resolution many times as it appears my Macbook recognizes the monitor but an image just won't appear on its screen. I just ordered a Male to Male DVI cable and mini DVI to DVI adapter to see if a digital connection would work. Does anyone know if this will work or of another solution to my problem? Thanks.

So I ordered a Mini DVI-DVI Dynex adapter and Male to Male DVI Cable off ebay for very cheap, and to my surprise, this set-up seemed to shake the monitor out of "Analog Power Saving Mode" into "Digital" since its a digital set-up and now I have a fully functioning, mirroring monitor. So I would suggest switching to DVI to correct your issue.

One day i was just flipping through my ipod i put it on sleep mode then next time i opened it without me doing anything it gave me an option of ''slide to power off'' i pressed cancel then it automatically went back to sleep mode it is still happening

One day i was just flipping through my ipod i put it on sleep mode then next time i opened it without me doing anything it gave me an option of ''slide to power off'' i pressed cancel then it automatically went back to sleep mode it is still happening my ipod is jailbroken and i didnt fiddle with the settings.. please help.

If it is jailbroken, we are not allowed to help you with that here. You'll need to seek out other sources of help. The jailbreaking could potentially be part of the problem, for all I know.
BTW, just a pointer... punctuation is your friend! Your post was very difficult to read without any. Many people will simply stop reading and click the "back" button when encountering something like that, which limits availability of help to you.

Webcam not entering low-power mode after resume

Can other W520 owners with a webcam (and potentially other models) confirm whether or not the camera prevents the USB subsystem from entering low power mode?
1) Unplug all USB peripherals, and turn off Bluetooth (this runs on USB as well)
2) Put the system into standby, unplug the AC adapter, and resume the system on battery.
3) Load a Command Prompt and run powercfg -energy
4) Load the generated report and look for the following:
The most noticeable issue caused by this is unnecessarily high power consumption, and as a result, lower battery life.
Turning the camera on and off (using the Fn=F6 preview window) turns this off and returns power consumption to normal.
On the latest available BIOS, chipset, and camera drivers.
Would like someone to confirm whether this is a driver issue or if it's just my system.
W520: i7-2720QM, Q2000M at 1080/688/1376, 21GB RAM, 500GB + 750GB HDD, FHD screen
X61T: L7500, 3GB RAM, 500GB HDD, XGA screen, Ultrabase
Y3P: 5Y70, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, QHD+ screen

I have a very similar spec also. The pair of U2410's (updated revision A01) connected to it won't go into sleep mode (just go black, with backlight still on).
The pair of cheapie BenQ 2420HD's I had connected while I waited for the Dells went into sleep mode fine.
Someone on another forum noted that they had a different model Dell on Mac with the same problem, and he found it only happened when the USB uplink cable was connected to the Mac. I disconnected mine (uplink and down), but no change unfortunately.
Google searching seems to suggest this is almost exclusively only with a Dell/Mac combo (same monitor on PC works fine and other brands on Mac work fine). These U2410 monitors get an absolute bagging on most forums, and I think most of it is deserved. These will both be going back for a refund with severe blue/pink tints making them visually perform worse than the BenQ's that were 1/3 the price. What's the point of spending 2 to 3 times the amount on IPS monitors when they're off colour even right in front of them!
The HP 24" IPS uses the same crap LG panel as these Dells, I can't justify 2 x 30" Apple Cinema displays for AU$5000, and one just won't cut it. No simple answer it seems....

Intel "Save Power / Increase Performance" popup

Currently starting to replace the older X series laptops with the X220's here at work. The problem we are running into is that annoying green popup window from Intel HD graphics asking to save power or increase performance. The window can't be moved and the users can't do much of anything for the couple minutes it stays on the screen. It's becoming a real hassle for us helpdesk guys.
How do we get rid of this?
Removing the drivers doesn't work, they just reinstall after reboot.

From an unrelated thread out there on the web:
When unplugging the mains ac adapter in Speed mode I had an annoying green Icon in the middle of my screen for 2 minutes that said "Save power" -> "Increased performance" stays for some time on top of other windows. I renamed the file C:\Windows\System32\nvvsvc.exe This however unelegant appears to have eliminated the annoying popup, if anyone has a better solution for this do let me know.
Untested, unlikely, and a little scary. It's the only thing I could find that even suggested a solution. Otherwise, there are just a few other people complaining about the same thing on a variety of platforms.

How do I automatically spin down the hard drive to save power?

I have searched for this in the wiki and the forums, so if I've missed something, please point it out to me, but is there a way to have Arch automatically spin down hard drives and/or suspend the machine to ram to save power? I'm not really interested in the full suspend to disk because I don't think my BIOS will do a wake on lan, and I'm trying to run a home server here.
Anyway, I'm just looking for ways to save on my electricity usage. Any ideas?

If the HD is just used for storage, hdparm is your friend. with hdparm -S you can set the timeout until the disk spins down.
If its a system disk hdparm will work too, but the HD will spin up after 2 secs (or less, depending on your HD) again because of the OS accessing the disk (logs, journal etc). Laptop-mode-tools works very well on laptops because it automatically sets the journal-rewrite time, file-write-cache size and the time when new data gets written to the disk. If you are not reading anything or anything thats not in the cache, it works very well - but thats on laptops. I tried using laptop-mode-tools on my desktop, but without luck (yes, it detected that i wasnt using a laptop).
You could try using cpudyn with the cpu-idling stuff disabled (option -i 0). I know it has a feature that spins down a specific HD after a certain amount of time. But i don't know for sure if cpudyn automatically remounts the HD, so that it caches all the write activity (like laptop-mode-tools).
Good luck.

How to disable airplane power mode completely on T440p Windows 7 64?

Hi!
I have updated Windows 7 64 and latest Lenovo Power Manager 6.66.3
My computer continuously switches to airplane power mode while being conneted to AC power source.
*Despite* being disabled in the power manager ir still does it and being connected to AC power discharges the battery (also when the lid is closed it goes standby etc.).
I don't need it! I need my notebook run at full performance while it is connected to the AC power, no matter if I type keys/move mouse or not, is battery fully charged or not.
Please help me achieving this.
Thank you in advance/

Hi!
Yes, I would happily do that, but without Lenovo power manager my screen goes dim frequently. So even when I have power management in Windows set to not save power on anything, it still flickers and i think it is something wrong with Lenovo BIOS or similar. Lenovo power manager took those screen flickers away, but brought that airplane mode that simply cannot be disabled.

Power Mode settings

In Settings-Power Mode, what is the difference between high performance, normal, and economy? What is the best option for optimum battery life?

Hi damfinejoe,
I apologize for the delayed response because I realize the importance of conserving battery life! To receive the best battery life, I suggest the economy setting. Your device will automatically switch to power saver mode when the battery level reaches a certain level. I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.^AB

Internet Connection during Standby Power Mode

Hello. I use a T61 with a wired Internet connection (cable modem). Recently I've been reading that hackers can exploit a laptop that's not in use, as long as it has power. I was wondering, does the T61's Internet connection remain active when the T61 is in Standby power mode?
Thank you,
Donald

Hi Donald,
Welcome to the Lenovo forum
Probably your cable modem does something called Network Address Translation (NAT) that should make it impossible for computers on the Internet to initiate connections with your ThinkPad. It might be possible that a bug in your cable modem could allow such access, but I've not heard of such exploits.
You can add another layer of security by making sure that your ThinkPad doesn't listen to its LAN connection while in standby / hibernation. That's called "Wake on LAN" (WOL), and you want to turn it off, in two places:
BIOS. Press the F1 key at boot to get to BIOS setup. Navigate to the Config: Network menu and change the following settings to "Disabled": Wake On LAN, Flash Over LAN, Ethernet LAN Option ROM.Then save BIOS settings and exit.
Windows. This page about "Insomniac Syndrome" shows how to stop devices (including your LAN) from waking your ThinkPad.
I'm glad to see you're thinking about security. These days the web is so popular that it's probably the most likely source of security problems. Things you can do to keep safer:
Back up your important data regularly! If you do one thing, do this.
Keep your web browser updated. They're all patched regularly to remove security holes.
Keep Windows up to date. Same deal.
Don't run software from untrusted sources.
Install the "NoScript" Firefox browser extension, if you can live with it.
Install good anti-virus / intrusion detection software such as Norton Internet Security 2009. (The firewall helps, too, but is definitely not a panacea.)
Try not to get too paranoid. (I'm speaking to myself here. )
Happy ThinkPadding,
Frank

T530 Airplane In-Seat Power Mode = reject power adapter

Hello,
I have a T530 quad core, which means I need the 135W power adapter. I was flying yesterday and my seat had power, so I figured I would use the "Airplane In-Seat Power Mode" function on Power Manager to avoid tripping any breakers on the airplane. However (and I've tried this at home as well on AC mains), choosing the airplane in-seat power mode doesn't seem to result in the advertised "adjusting charge rate and cpu" - instead it just causes the laptop to not charge at all and say this:
"This AC adapter may not provide enough power to your Lenovo computer. Please reconnect the proper AC adapter."
Of course... it is the right adapter... and switching off Airplane Power Mode makes it start charging normally again immediately.
I have the BIOS update needed that says it enables this feature (1.12), and Power Manager 6.32.
Has anyone else tried Airplane In-Seat Power Mode and had it work, or can anyone from Lenovo comment on this?
THANKS!

The fine print on at-seat-power for many airlines specifically excludes "battery charging" as a permitted use, so it may well have something to do with that restriction.
Will there be enough power for my device (how many watts can it handle)?
Most airplane power systems are limited to approximately 75 Watts of power draw per seat. This means that a new 17" laptop, with a power-hungry processor, might not get enough juice to operate. Sometimes the laptop will know not to charge the battery and will just operate via the power, but other times the laptop won't work at all, or will work for a short period of time before tripping the power circuit. You can try taking your battery out all together, or buy a smaller laptop.
The SeatGuru power converter reviewers recommend removing the laptop battery before plugging the device into the EmPower unit. The laptop should then run on EmPower. Often, about one hour to 30 minutes before the end of a flight, the EmPower system will be as shut-off, and the laptop will abruptly lose power. (Make sure to save your work!)
Will my battery charge while I'm plugged in?
Don't count on it. Again, because of the limited amount of power draw per seat, it is possible that your laptop won't get enough power to both operate and charge. Some airlines, like Continental Airlines, specifically state that battery charging is not allowed and ask you to remove your rechargeable battery from your device.

My monitor went black while I was using it what do I do

I have a power G4 with a Cinema Display monitor with Cinema Display power adaptor. I was watching a movie and during the movie the screen went black. I could hear the movie playing and could adjust the volume. I power the computer down and tried restarting it and still I have a black screen. I unplugged the cables and plugged them back up and that didn't help what can I do? Does anyone know what the problem is?

Assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take up to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
