New W510 Bios with some USB updates...

There's a new W510 BIOS: 1.34/1.35.
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-74858&medium=rs...
(New) Added support of "Power On with AC Attach" feature at BIOS Setup Utility -> Config -> Power submenu.
(Fix) Fix an issue that a USB device is not recognized by Windows connecting to USB 3.0 port.
Nice to see the USB device is getting some love. Is anyone running this new BIOS? Can anyone confirm if they happened to fix the power-on issue with USB3.0 port? That's about the only thing I'd be willing to risk a BIOS update for right now.

Have upgraded it, but did not test the USB problem.
Can i know power-on issue, even if the computer is off, the usb 3.0 is still running? right?

Possibility to use new Mac mini with an USB-DAC?

Anybody knowing anything about the possibility to use the new Mac mini with an USB-DAC. My reason for the question is that I've heard that USB3 doesn't handle sound. I'm thinking about to buy a mac mini and use it as an HTPC and signalsource together with NAIM DAC-V1.
// Rode orm

What I have heard that there are a few USB2 audio devices that
have had some issues with USB3, but USB3 itself is supposedly
backward compatible to USB2.
I would check with the makers of the DAC to see if there are any
USB3 issues.

I have a new MacBook Air with a USB super drive. I put in a DVD and I get nothing. No Icon on the desk top, no help from DVD player. How do I get it to play and how to eject it now that it's in?

There's a defect. The computer is in warranty so take it in for repair.

Hi guys, I recently got a new MacBook Pro with a USB Superdrive. A disc won't eject, does anyone know of a way to eject it? I'm in Morocco for the next 10 days so going to an Apple store is not possible. Any help would be gratefully received, thanks

Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
      left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
      your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
        /usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

MSI E350IA-E45 boot/post problem with some USB devices

Hi,
My new mainboard E350IA-E45 with BIOS ver. 1.4 has problems "BIOS problems" booting/posting when I connect a USB IR Receiver from CyberLink and also with a USB wireless adapter model USB-N10 from ASUS, using USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 ports.
It does the problem with one of the two devices or the two at the same time connected.
With the Logo disabled, I only see a number (not always the same) at the bottom right of the screen when I boot/reboot, and I cannot enter BIOS. If I wait a while, about half a minute Windows starts and other times not ( I'm not sure at this moment).
When this happens (not booting/posting) if I remove (while powered) these devices the motherboard posts immediately and normal operation is back !
When none is connected, it works without problems.
Does anyone have a solution or explanation for this behavior ?
Thanks in advance for any help.

How can you call this explanation "working fine" ??
Your powersupply is just 75W, anything can happen with so little power.
As said before, test the board with a 300W powersupply and see if it solves it.
I bought this Mini-ITX case to have a silent HTPC, its height is 62mm, so where do I put a power supply of 300W using this case if the problem realy "is" the power adapter ! Sorry to say that, but for me it's not the power adapter.
When I BOOT it, my power meter indicates the maximum value and it's between 25-30 watts, and you say that a 75W external adapter is not enough and what about netbooks or nettops with Zacate inside with similar adapters !
Can you explain to me why or how it fails to POST in few seconds (or no POST at all) with one of these devices that has a tiny power consumption. And why it POST with a external USB HDD ! It makes no sense to me.
Anyway if there is no solution to this problem (maybe BIOS update), I don't mind very much to wait about 20 seconds until it POST with the two devices connected, because after that I have no other problems.
Best regards.

Can I enter BIOS with a USB keyboard on a Thinkstation E20 with USB legacy disabled?

Hi,
My Thinkstation E20 with XP SP3 won't boot up with an external HDD connected to its USB. Tried various things:
1. Changing boot sequence so that the USB-HDD is behind the internal HDD
2. Excluding USB-HDD from the boot order
3. Using a different USB-HDD
But all this won't work, after the motherboard boot, I get a black screen. The system boots normally with the USB-HDD disconnected.
So as a last option I would like to disable USB legacy support, but I am worried that I won't be able to use the USB keyboard anymore to enter BIOS. As the Thinkstation has no ps/2 port this could be a real issue down the road.
Microsoft info is that on most system you should be able to use a USB keyboard during the motherboard phase even with USB legacy disabled, but I can't find if theThinkstation can do this?
Does anyone know/tried it?
Thanks for your help,
Andre
Solved!
Go to Solution.

welcome to the forum!
you'll always be able to use the keyboard to access the BIOS. after all, if a system could completely lock out the keyboard then you'd have no way of unlocking it.
what port(s) have you tried connecting the USB HDD? if you've only tried the front, try a port on the back and see if anything improves.
what brand/model USB HDD are you using?

Potential new T61 user with some questions about product/support/etc.

Hi all!
I've been using Dell Latitude's for last 7+ years and been happy with them thus far, as I was able to stay within the C-series thru 3 systems and reuse some components such as batteries, CD-ROM, etc. but now that I'd have to go to D-series, that gives me the choice of going to new vendor...and IBM/Lenovo was the only other choice due to my OS requirement: XP Pro!
So now I'm here asking some questions that I'm still having issues with:
(I'm comparing the T61 to Dell D530 and/or my C610)
1) Features that I've used on existing Dell that I don't see on T61 :
    a) Infared port --- I've used to transfer stuff from one sys to another
    b) S-Video out --- I've used to display on TV for some situations
    c) Serial port --- can't recall using it but with my luck, I'd need it sometime.
    d) Parallel port (C610) --- for my really old printer used on rare occasions
    e) Floppy drive --- yes, I still use it for some unusual situations
2) On Dell, I can put a 2nd battery or floppy drive in the media bay instead of CD/DVD...what about T61?
3) Support:
    a) Dell forums have 7+ yrs of history and are well used...this forum seems brand new...was there another one before it?
    b) My Dell's have lifetime tech support (ok, so sometimes understanding the folks from India can be an issue) but IBM seems to limit this to life of warranty.
4) Pricing: T61 would be seem to be, at minimum, about $150 more than similar Dell even with current "sales"...I'm having trouble justifying this...
5) Things that I see that T61 has that new Dell D530 doesn't:
   a) built-in mike --- my current Dell has it and I use it now and then so this is a plus!
   b) keyboard light --- nice feature, but couldn't I use a USB one instead if I really needed it?
   c) fingerprint reader --- never used one...how often do people use it?
   d) 2nd card slot for Express cards --- current Dell has two standard slots and I'm using both, though one is wi-fi which C610 didn't have built-in...and other is modem to replace failed built-in...D530 has only one slot, so having 2nd of any type is good.
   e) middle mouse button --- is that what I'm seeing? Or is it something else?
   f) recovery partition --- ok, nice but how much room does it take?
6) Things that D530 has that T61 doesn't:
   a) 4th USB --- I'm used to only 1 now so even 3 would be big step up...
   b) 15" standard screen --- T61 is only a 14.1" screen and that extra bit of size would likely help, but I'm limited on physical dimensions to 13.5" total width (unusual situation) so a 15.4" wide screen isn't possible...I'm looking at SXGA+ in either case to maximize usage.
   c) recovery CD is standard --- so I'm presuming I'd have to create my own here?
That, I think, about does it...so...any users willing to help me decide if a switch is good for me?
Thanks!!!
Update: It seems that phone tech support is only available for warranty period with IBM, whereas with Dell, I can still call for hardware tech help (to diagnose problem at least) for "lifetime" or well past paid period, as I've already done in past...comments?
Update #2: Changed the incorrect "R"s to "T"! Duh!
Message Edited by J_Hallgren on 12-28-2007 07:50 PM
A current Dell Latitute user who was looking to maybe switch...But didn't.

I finally made the switch to Lenovo and the Thinkpad line of notebooks and think this was the best move I have ever made in years! I've spent far too much money maintaining a separate notebook (Dell Latitude L400) several custom built desktops. This December, I sold my desktops, my laptops (I had 2 L400's), and my 20" Aquous LCD TV to finance my Thinkpad T61. It was well worth it! I will try to answer your questions in this checklist, which I found to be quite similar to my own .... frighteningly exactly like my own....:
Hardware Requirements
IR: This is pretty outdated but functional. I used to use a Palm with IR as well as an IR laser printer. I ditched both for a PDA phone with bluetooth. The laser printer is networked now
S-Video: You might be able to get away with a TV tuner cardbus or a expres card. There might also be external converters that convert from your VGA/DVI (DVI via port replicator) into any variety of video outputs.
Serial: My older Palm had a serial port for the docking station - bluetooth is a good replacement
Parallel port: I currently have a USB to parallel adapter in my bag just in case. These are cheap cables and work well.
Floppy: I keep a USB one of these just in case. I find that having fewer input devices on my laptop and leaving them external help keep the machine lighter for my mostly mobile usage (e.g., my L400 with no inputs at all except 1 USB port).
T61 Spare Battery: Uses ultrabay battery - I rarely use the DVDRW drive and leave the ultrabay battery in there while on the go. DVDRW drive stays in the bag until needed. I recommend you upgrade to the 9 cell battery with the advanced ultra bay battery, which will give u something like 9 to 12 hours of operating life. If you are not a fan of the battery pack sticking out like crazy, stick to the letter box format laptop (not widescreen), which will provide the minimum amount of battery pack stick-out with the 9 cell battery. The 6 cell will not stick out with the letterbox laptop but will stick out with the widescreen version.
Support Options: I rarely call support so I have no opinion here.
Pricing: Price was not really a concern for me. I purchased mine for the business look mainly, which Lenovo maintained well. I don't like the shiny/plastic/toy look of Dell and Apple computers these days. If anything, consider the premium an investment in the build quality of these machines (or a premium just for the good looks). I particularly like the roll cage as well as active protection system that stops the hard drive as soon as the system detects excessive motion.
Included Hardware Comparison:
I like the mic, use it often for Skype and the built in 1.3MP webcam as well.
Keyboard light.... kinda cute but not as functional because it simply is too small. It was a cute idea that could have been made better had Lenovo opted for a backlit keyboard instead. That would have been more functional and added to the "cool" factor.
With regards to the Express Card and PCMCIA card slot, I rarely use either because everything is built in. However, if you want that TV tuner, an express card or PCMCIA card slot is good. If you opt for the built in media reader, you will be unable to use the express card as the media reader takes up that slot (I might be wrong, but I think the card reader is large enough that it takes up both slots, so u can't add anything anyway - but you should call pre-sales to answer that question).
Middle mouse button: The three buttons in the middle are used for the trackpoint/joystick mouse controller. I think the middle button is configurable to do various things. I personally hate the joystick and can only use the touchpad. The lack of a touchpad was the only reason I did not stick to the smaller 12.1" X line of laptops, which was really more in tune with my size requirements (too used to using the L400 sized machine).
Recovery Partition: This is a cheap way for manufacturers to make it easy for people to recover their systems in case of crash - without the need for any documentation or disc media. However, it makes it hard for people like me who only use machines after a clean format and customized install of Windows. This partition is about 10GB and can be erased with special disk format or partition tools. Windows itself cannot read or delete this partition. With the minimum size of the hard drives available, this should not be an excessive space killer for most people. I personally need only 7GB total for OS and apps. The remaining data I work with is actually streamed from a 500GB gigabit NAS. I might switch to a 32GB solid state disk one of these days when their performance comes more in par or exceeds traditional drives.
Recovery CD: You can create your own from the recovery partition since Lenovo does not provide any.
4th USB: I only use 1 or 2 as well. 1 for an external micro mouse (I love my touchpad, but it's just hard to use with Photoshop or CAD apps) and a second for a USB memory key. My other devices i.e., scanner, external mouse, keyboard, are plugged in on my desktop through a USB hub that goes to a single port on my docking station. So yes, your docking station will probably remove the need for more than 2 ports. Although, I do find it odd there are only 3 ports... such an odd number.
Screen Size: I personally wish I could have gotten the X series of laptops but the 14.1 was the only other mobile solution. For the larger screen size, docking station to my 24" Dell 2405FP. The compact nature of the T series makes it pretty thin and compact though... it was not too much bigger than my L400 - at least, not uncomfortably bigger.
But yeah, I think if you make the switch, you'll be getting yourself a solid machine that will keep u going for years. The Latitude line of Dell's were really good, but overall, I feel that the nature of Dell's manufacturing process is making it too "cookie cutter" and reducing its overall quality level. Their earlier lines were awesome, like the D lines you mentioned. But unless you get the ATG line, you just won't get the same level of quality they used to offer (in addition, the ATG line is wickedly too expensive - I'd rather get a Durabook for military grade spec at a fraction of the price).
Anyway, have fun shopping! :-)

New Gl- report with some details of CO for the non leading ledger

Hi,
I am using New GL. I have 2 ledgers (local ledger and USGAAP); The local ledger is the leading ledger, so is the one which impacts to CO. I need some information in CO (mainly cost center) for the non-leading ledger (USGAAP). I am thinking in create a report painter with the table of non-leading ledger, but I cannot find a table in NGL which save the CO object and can choose the ledger. I am looking too, this information by a standard report, but I cannot find one.
Any idea about a solution of this situation?
Thanks,
Cecilia

Hi Cecilia, did you assign Cost Center scenario (FIN_CCA) to your ledgers?, otherwise NGL Tables (FAGLFLEXT and FAGLFLEXA) won't have Cost Center field populated. If this is the case, maybe your only option is use BKPF then BSEG + BSEG_ADD (Entry View of Accounting Document for Additional Ledgers) and pull Cost Center from there.
I hope this helps.

New Mac user with some questions!

Hello everyone, I fairly new to mac! (I came from the Dark Side....PC)And here is how this happen. I was searching a local web page of people that sell used computer and searched for a couple of days when I came across a G5 1.6 being sold for parts (DEAD G5 No Power issue), everything was in it but the HD. I thought I would pick it up for the $150.00 the seller was asking thinking I could possible purchase parts to fix it! LOL well that was a BIG heck no!! Well remember I have $150.00 in this already. Well after seeing all the problems everyone was having with the G5's and the dreaded no power "DEAD G5" threads every where I was getting a little worried if I wasted the money on a doorstop. I talked to a few people and look around on the net again to see how much used "working" G5 1.6 were going for, I saw a few that were inflated in price and saw some that were fair in price.
So with the research I did (and still a little worried if I did the right ting) I took the G5 to the apple store and had them look at it. They told me it could be the Logic board, CPU, and or PSU and was given a paper with the parts and labor as a est. $1083.00 was the price for the above parts to be replaced, I felt like I was being robbed. But I told them to look at it and call me with the issues before any work was done!
Ok as of right now I have $150.00 in it already plus the $100.00 Diag fee. No biggie at least the case is worth $250.00 for a PC case!(LOL) Just joking guys!!
The next day the local Apple store called me and told me it was the logic board, and when they get the new board in they would be able to test the CPU. So I told them to replace the Logic board.... Later that day the call came in saying the CPU and PSU were good and they installed Tiger on it for me for free. So far at the 1st visit to the apple store when I dropped off the G5 I was like dang I'm not enjoying this, but now afer a logic board replacement and level 2 tech it came to $535.00.
So
$150.00 (Purcased from seller)
$ 60.00 (160gb SATA HD)
$535.00 (Logic board & Level 2 Labor)
$745.00 total cost
Now here is the question!
Was it a smart thing to get the logic board replaced?
Will this G5 1.6 handle Final Cut Pro for 1080i footage captured with a Sony HDV-fx7?
Be Honest with me, I want to know if I was a goof ball or not!!
Thanks for you help

Hi MikePerry-
In accounting terms, your expense to repair the machine is considered "sunk cost." Even if you got totally hosed (and you did not) what's done is done.
You can check eBay for comparable setups.
This setup will be able to handle the stated editing needs.
I don't know you well enough to fairly establish any goofball factor

Error with some software updates

A few weeks ago when "AirPortTi2005-001" was released via software update, I tried to install, however I get an error when I try to install it. Other software updates installed fine, up until today when J2SE50Release2 was released and I am having the same problems with it.
To cure the problem I have

Repaired Permissions
Ran OnyX Automation
Downloaded the actual files from apple.com/support/downloads
Nothing. Anyone know what I can do and anyone else having this issue? It is only these two software updates, ones released at the same time or in between the two releases have installed fine.
