Power drain during hibernation for X200 with Windows 7

Hi guys,
I purchased a new X200 laptop 2 weeks ago and am loving this new toy. One thing puzzled me, however, regarding power usage in hibernation mode. Based on my past experience and information on the Internet, when Windows goes into hibernation, the entire memory state is dumped into hard disk and the machine completely switches off just like a normal shutdown. That seems to be not true for my new X200 as every time I wake up the machine from hibernation, the battery meter always shows something like 95% and it requires another half an hour or so to fully recharge the battery.
Now I'm a bit confused. Is it a new feature in Windows 7 to draw battery power even in hibernation or the battery is leaking power?
Thanks for any reply in advance.

Hi rlh1, and welcome to the Lenovo User Community!
Yes there's no need for Presentation Director on Windows 7 because it is built in. Fn-F7 or Windows Key-P to access. Also see the Windows Mobility Center.
Hope this helps!
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

  • Battery drained during hibernation, stuck.

    My Macbook Unibody (Mid-2010) had its battery drained during hibernation.  I plugged it into the charger and the charger light turned on, and the grey start-up page went up as usual with the apple logo and the loading bars underneath.  However, the laptop has not finished loading and it's been more than an hour now.  I tried closing the lid, and the hibernation light went on, but the apple logo still had its light and it still did not finish loading.
    What do I do?
    (This macbook is still on Snow Leopard)

  • Which version packages do I need for T530 with Windows 7 x64?

    - Power Management Driver:
    This version http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS032258
    Or this version http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS014939
    - Intel Management Engine Firmware:
    This version http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS028929
    Or this version http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS032435
    The reason I'm asking is because Lenovo Support Driver & Software website lists all these versions for T530 with Windows 7 x64.

    usually i go for the newer version.
    and on my thinkpad i installed power management driver version 1.66
    and for ime firmware the second link you provided.
    good luck

  • Collection query for computers with windows management framework 3.0

    Hi,
    collection query for computers with windows management framework 3.0, but I cant found a way. I cant see that it is in the inventory data for SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS_64.DisplayName.
    So any way to get computers with windows management framework 3.0?
    /SaiTech

    select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_SoftwareProduct on SMS_G_System_SoftwareProduct.ResourceId
    = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_SoftwareProduct.ProductName like "Windows Management Framework 3.0%"
    That won't work because as mentioned, it doesn't appear in ARP.
    Torsten's suggestion will work or you can resort to software/hardware inventory using the info at

  • Creative Zen Micro Photo not tested for use with Windows so cant install it! Please help

    Heya! Basically when installing the software for Microphoto it stops saying that as my device hasn't been tested for use with windows it cant install for fear of corrupting my laptop! Can anyone help me overcome this because i installed it aagges ago and it let me have the option of continuing the installating, but i had 2 uninstall it and upon reinstalling it it does not give me the option to continue. It just cancels the installation. Can someone please help me as this is driving me nuts!! Y is it that technology is continuosly mucking up grrrrr!
    Lucy

    Are you runnning Win XP SP2? If so, this is a standard warning about unsigned drivers, but it should still give you the option to "continue anyway" to complete the installation.
    Also, make sure you have Windows Media Player 0, as this is needed for Windows XP (drivers) to recognize your MicroPhoto.

  • Broken ATI Mobility FireGL V5700 for W500 with Windows 7 - 64 bit

    Hello all,
    My setup is Lenovo Thinkpad W500 with Windows 7 - 64 bit
    Display card is a ATI Mobility FireGL V5700
    My graphics drivers used to be functional but now I have lost a lot of functionality (mostly graphics issues).
    My two biggest issues are:
    Many video games will crash/break because of my drivers apparently
    Lost switchable graphics completely (the ability to change from FireGL V5700 to the low power card)
    To clearly state: It is impossible to download these drivers from AMD, AMD themselves tell you to go to Lenovo
    This is because Lenovo is responsible for the display card drivers in their own laptops.
    I have not modified my computer. I believe that Lenovo's updates broke my laptop's functions.
    How do I FIX this??
    Nothing works from Lenovo's website. I've installed all their updates and the issues persist.
    The Lenovo Solution Center tells me that everything is up to date.
    Windows Update tells me everything is up to date.
    I am NOT reformatting my computer, that is a rediculous thing to say when everyone is clearly having this issue.
    What is the deal here? This laptop cost a very large amount of money and now it just broke itself? I don't believe it.

    Ok thank you, this is likely a BIOS related issue now.
    As you can see, Power Manager does not provide a switchable graphics option:
    Device Manager only recognizes the high power graphics card (FireGL V5700) and not the low power card
    Here is my BIOS settings for the display adapter:
         Default Primary video Device: INTERNAL
         Boot Display Device: THINKPAD LCD
         Graphics Device: DISCRETE GRAPHICS
         OS Detection for Switchable Graphics: DISABLED

  • Z640 about to order, any dates for shipping with Windows 10 ?

    As I heard rumours that Win 10 may be shipping circa 24th -26th July , i thought I might delay the order so it arrives ( built to order) with Windows 10
    A) anyvody know when the new OS will start shipping?
    B) would experienced users sugggest asking for a down grade to Win7 Pro - or is Windows 10 have a good pre launch rep ( unlike Windows 8 did ).
    When formulating your advice please note Imam crap with computers and the only thing I want to do is add more discs later . No interest in RAID etc. - just want it simple.
    I was going to order with 2 x 16 GB - appreciating that 4 x 8 would be better, but dont want to have to discard RAM later if 32 GB is not enough.
    Will 32 GB be enough - interested in any users real world experience please.....

    I knew you had the knowledge to move the data; but I've seen a lot of folks get into trouble doing it.
    And most have an inflated idea of how much data their systems write.
    What kind of write load do you actually have?
    Virtually all drives provide SMART monitoring of how much data has been written, as well as projected lifespan, and information on expected program/erase cycles is available online. 
    The Samsung 850 Pro, for example, should last 6,000 program/erase cycles.  Being conservative and assuming a really bad 3:1 write amplification (which is an overestimate), imagine being able to write the entire SSD and erase it 2,000 times.
    For a single 512 GB SSD, that would be 1 terabyte of write load per day for almost 3 years.  Remember, you can read it as many times as you like; NAND only wears on erase cycles, which happen during re-writes.
    Most people do not write anywhere near 1 terabyte of data per day.  I use my system heavily and in my case (including it being an SVN server) and I don't even reach 20% of that.  I'm spreading the write load across 4 drives with the RAID
    array so the load on any one device is divided further. 
    But you don't have to guess at what you're writing - what does your SMART data say?
    See this article for some real-world tests/results re: endurance...
    http://techreport.com/review/26523/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-casualties-on-the-way-to-a-petabyte
    With larger SSDs the numbers generally work out so well that people shouldn't even give wearout a second thought.  And everyone should do backups to mitigate potential data loss regardless.

  • Programming for College with Windows Apps on bootcamp HELP?

    Hello everyone I come to you for help after a long search for the perfect laptop.
    Right now I am using a macbook late 2009 with multitouch. I love the features but after signing up for some programming classes for college I had to revise what laptop I should own.
    My question is if I'll be able to program on bootcamp with Windows 7 with windows applications like Dev C++, Microsoft Visual Studio, Eclipse, an assembler and the like with 100% compatibility?
    I am on a very low income but I think that Apple really gets it when it comes to mobile laptops. I haven't found anything comparable to a Macbook anywhere. I've seen some imitations like the HP Envy but when you look closely they do not come close.
    Laptop PC makers just don't get it with their 2 hour battery life, "Desktop replacements" and heavy laptops. What is the point of all that if it's not mobile.
    I can only own one laptop and I will upgrade to a 15 inch because I need the screen real state. I'm hoping that the answer will be YES to compatibility with programming applications on Windows 7.
    One last thing, I've heard of Xcode but college teaches on Windows Applications, there is no way around it. I need to use what everyone else is using right now.
    Thank you all.

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    running Windows with BootCamp on a Mac is like running Windows on any other given computer.
    Those programs you mentioned shouldn't give you any kind of problems.
    Only very low-level BIOS and/or hardware programming (in assembler) can arise problems due to some differences between Macs and 'other' PCs (like the lack of a full BIOS support).
    Other than that you're good to go.
    Have Fun

  • Virtual PC for Mac with Windows XP Professional

    I have two questions.
    1. My VPC crashed (blue screen of death) on our powerbook G4 15 inch, and it states that the problem is a "unmountable boot volume." Is there I way I can correct this, I have programs on the VPC which would take a long time to reinstall?
    2. I am considering purchasing a Macbook and wonder if I can use the Windows XP professional from my Virtual PC 7 with windows XP professional in boot camp? I doubt it, but thought I should at least ask.

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    I don't know about question 1. Might be one to ask in the Microsft forums.
