No Alarm beep when unplugging the power cable from an L530?

With my new ThinkPad L530, I miss the beep when the power cable is unplugged. So far, I did not find any option to switch that alarm on. Has this function been removed completely?
thanks

I hope you know what is modding in general? Same goes for bios. Meaning editing the bios image and unlock the hidden options a andcthen flashing the bios. This method voids warranty so it isn't recommended. Though you can have a look here

  • Does the power cable from my 24" CinemaDisplay have to connected for the display to work.  I just had it repaired and now it seems to have to be plugged into the laptop  I dont remember it being like that before.

    Is the power cable from the display required to be plugged into my MBP for my display to work.  Recently had work done on the display (power supply replaced twice, glass replaced twice).  Also since I got it back from repair  my system goes to sleep sleeps even though I have it set not to.  Frustrated

    awesome, so you sound like you know what your going on about. im guessing its a Software fault tbh, because its like the phone is dead.. very upsetting..but with it not being the screen if they dont ask me to replace it and to send it off for repair what can i say as to a loan phone, mind a ease a little bit now i will just now wait for tommorrow to see what happens thank you

  • I just bought an ipod touch 4th generation recently,found that it is very difficult to plug and unplug the USB cable from my ipod.Does anyone have this problem?

    I just bought an ipod touch 4th generation recently, found that it is very difficult to plug and unplug the USB cable from my ipod. Does anyone have this problem?

    Some of the Dock connector cables have very small buttons on the rounded adge of the plug, which need to be pushed in to release the plug from the iPod. Look at the picture below, do you notice the "button" on the white connector edge? There's one on the other edge too and they both need to be pressed in to release the "evil looking spike" sticking out of the grey edge.
    The shorter plugs (that I've seen) do not have the release mechanism, the plug simply pulls out.

  • Bridge an AirPort Express from an Extreme connected to a Motorola DOCSIS 3 cable/modem/gateway via an ethernet cable? Can I connect ethernet to the Express to setup/handshake/coordinate, and then unplug the ethernet cable from the Express?

    In other words, does the AirPort Extreme NEED to be the device connected to the coaxial cable, or can I connect that cable to the Motorola SBG6580 DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem/wireless gateway? (My Internet provider requires DOCSIS 3.0 for speeds above 12 megabits/sec.)
    Will the Airport Extreme "program" the Express via an ethernet cable, and than the cable can be removed?
    The "bridge" or "repeater needs to be quite a distance away from the physically connected cable modem/wireless gateway and the ethernet- connected AirPort Extreme, and we have wall-to-wall carpeting, and the walls and ceilings are off-limits (family politics), so a looooong ethernet cable is out of the question.
    Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
    Thanx!
    P.S. The 802.11 in my house (ground floor, about fifty feet away from the modem; in the living room about 35ft away *****! And Motorola touts this wireless gateway as having amazing coverage (360, I think they call it),but in fairness, this house is old and has a 5 hanset cordless landline and a microwave and a fan, etc., etc., etc......

  • Unplugging the USB cable from the Handheld.

    Everything has gone smooth. Synchronization a problem. But I cannot get the cable out of the handheld. I have pulled. pressed. pushed. It will not come out. Brand new and I don't want to break it. Is there a secret to getting the cable to disengage? Thanks for any help.

    ALMEYER,
    There are no official Palm stores you can take your device to for help with your issue.
    You may be able to go to a local best buy or a retailer that has a service dept. to see if they can help you with removing the cable. You can also check with a local computer store to see if they can help also.
    You should be able to disengage the cable by using the method in the previous post.

  • Brightness issue (when unplugging/plugging battery cable)

    Hi,
    on my laptop, when unplugging the battery cable, the screen becomes darker.
    When plugging it back, the screen becomes brighter, but not as bright as from start.
    To restore my previous brightness, I need to use xbacklight (or xrandr --brightness).
    Even, xbacklight -get is enough to restore the correct brightness.
    I don't have any of cpufrequtils, pm-utils, powernowd, laptop-mode-tools or any package to manage the power.
    My video driver is intel (i915).
    Do you have any idea of: what's causing the screen to change brightness when plugging/unplugging the battery ?
    Why, after plugging the battery back, it doesn't restore its previous brightness until I try to get the brightness from the os ?

    Hi, if you don't use any of the acpid, pm-utils, laptop-mode-tools, etc. "magic", it seems to be a BIOS feature. You may try to disable it via setup, or try to find a kernel module specific to your NB manufacturer/model (eg. dell-laptop) to override the ACPI BIOS.

  • I unplugged the power adaptor and suddenly, my mac started beeping repeatedly like an alarm. What does this mean?

    I unplugged the power adaptor and suddenly, my mac started beeping repeatedly like an alarm. My mac was fully charged and would not start up. I pressed down on the restart button to reboot it and the noise stopped.
    What does this mean?

    Hi, it indicates a RAM problem, (or Logic Board around the RAM).
    The power on self-test resides in the ROM of the computer. This test runs whenever the computer is turned on after being fully shut down (the power-on self-test does not run if the computer is only restarted).
    If a fault is detected during the test, you will not hear a normal startup chime. Instead, the system will beep as explained below. If you experience one of these beeps, you may call your Apple Authorized Service Provider for additional troubleshooting assistance.
    1 beep  = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
    5 beeps = processor is not usable
    In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
    Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

  • Powerbook turns off when I unplugged the Power Adapter

    I month or so ago I noticed that when I unplug my power adapter it turns off instead of running off the battery. I've tried resetting the PMU but I didn't work. Does anyone have any advice or does anyone know what could be the problem.

    I am experiencing a similar problem to Blaise. I have owned my 15-inch Dual-Layer SuperDrive for a total of 4 days. Last night I went to move my computer from the living room (where it was plugged into the wall for approx. 5hrs) to my bedroom. So I simply pulled out the power cable and the screen went blank. At first I thought it went to sleep (which was weird even if that was true), but then I tried to wake it up. Nothing worked. So I moved it into the bedroom, plugged it in, then I basically had to power it up as if it was off. Although, since it is the new PowerBook it was still able to write the contents of RAM to the hard drive (which is a really cool new feature). So the dimmed screen had the progress bar on the bottom as the previous settings were loaded.
    Anyway, my long story aside. The battery level monitor in the menu bar, now says 0%, when I unplugged it, it said 99%. The green indicators on the battery itself all light up as if it is fully charged. I also looked in system profiler, where it says the capacity is 0mAh and the total charge is 0mAh. Then I ran apple hardware test, where it told me that no battery was present but it was still able to say it experienced "10 cycles".
    I have tried to reset the PMU and the PRAM, no help. I've restarted to see if it would luckily rerecognize it. But nothing has worked.
    I will be venturing to the Apple Store this afternoon. I hope it is an easy fix, i.e. just a new battery. Basically the current condition of my computer, is that I need to be plugged in to use it at all.
    It must be reiterated that this is a brand new machine. And the battery capacity just hours before this incident was 3639mAh (I've been checking it periodically since I got the machine to see how the battery was doing on the first couple of cycles). And it had only experienced 10 charge-drain cycles.
    If anyone has any ideas to fix this, I would greatly appreciate the help.

  • Macbook Pro 2011 DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected

    My Macbook Pro (Early 2011) DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected. If get the blue screen and then can use the macbook but nothing is displayed on the TV. If i go into display I can see that there are two screens but nothing displayed on the TV. If i take the power cable out at this point the TV shows the second desktop as expected. If i then reconnect the cable, the screen flickers, as though it is being affected by the power cable, and the screen goes blank on the TV. Only if i remove the DVI cable do i get the blue screen again. If i remove the power cable and reconnect it will do it every single time, so i cannot see it being a TV issue or a minor glitch.
    I have had this working previously but at the minute it seems to not be playing ball....any thoughts
    Thanks

  • My macbook will not charge and turns off completely when I remove the power cable.  can anyone help?

    The battery is sitting at 75% and has not moved even though it is plugged into the mains.  It will not switch on unless connected to the power cable and turns straight off when disconnected.  The wee green light is on the cable is on when plugged in so its not the power cable.  Could it be my battery?  the I only bought this two years ago.
    Please help.

    You posted your question in the "Intel iMac Forum".  You should repost it in the appropriate "MacBook Forum" in order to get an accurate response.

    Anyone having the same problem?

    Makes no difference if anyone is having the same problem.  The important thing is that it's happening to YOU!
    You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked. 
    Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out.  Let Apple deal w/the problems.

  • Laptop freezes when the power cable is plugged in.

    I have a satellite A205-S4777.  When the power cable is plugged in the machine freezes.  The machine works fine when working on battery power alone.  Any suggestions?

    I'm assuming this is out of warranty. If you're comfortable doing so, you could use a digital multimeter to check the output of the AC adaptor and ensure it matches what's on its label. If it's incorrect, you would need to purchase a replacement AC adaptor. If it is correct, the laptop might need servicing. If you're not comfortable using a digital multimeter or don't want to purchase one, you still might want to take a guess and try replacing the AC adaptor, but you can't be positive that it's the cause.

  • MacBook Pro goes out of sleep when unplugging the the power cord

    When my MacBook Pro 13'' is in sleep-mode with the lid down and with the power cord plugged in,
    if you the unplug the power cord the computer goes out of sleep-mode.
    The same when it is in sleep-mode without the power cord, it goes out of sleep
    when the cord is replugged in, although the lid is still down.
    Anyone who have had the same problem?

    I'm having the same issue!  I took it to the Apple store, they tested it all out and none of the techs were able to fix it or heard of the issue before.
    They told me to reinstall OSx which I did and same issue.

  • Macbook powers on by itself when i connect the power cable

    Hi,
    Since Leopard, my Macbook has decided to no longer rely on the stupid user pushing the power button. It simply switches itself on every time i connect the power cable
    You know: I often come home in the evenings with a drained battery, connect the cable and charge the battery overnight. I don't want to switch the baby on. But my Macbook thinks otherwise.
    First i thought it maybe have somthing to do with the hardware-energy settings (power on after power loss), but the option is disabled.
    So what? Has the Macbook become more intelligent or am I just to stupid to find the right option? (Care what you say..!)
    Cheers,
    Fox

    Hello World!
    No one here who can help me?
    I simply want to use the Power Button for what it is for. I don't want my Macbook to switch itself on everytime i plug in the power cable.
    This behaviour is only since 10.5 install (I did archive&install)

  • G4 MDD won't boot unless unplug/replug power cable

    This is sort of a continuation of this thread:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2538429
    I seem to be having a problem many have seen.  When I shut down my G4/MDD, it won't power back up unless I unplug and replug the power cable.
    I have replace the system battery and reset PMU.  Any other ideas?
    Could the power supply or power button/board be problematic?

    I think it's more likely the PSU, but the Logic Board is what everything connects to...
