Problem hibernate with ThinkPad T400 2764 CTO................

Sorry all because my english is very bad..........
i have a problem with my thinkpad, when i am using my laptop with full battery or using adapter , the laptop auto hibernate, it's like when my laptop low battery,......somebody like me.........help me to fix this problem...
Thanks

Hi thptquochoc,
Does it happen only when the computer is idle?
You have some settings in power manager where you can specify that the computer should hibernate when idle for a certain period of time. If set too low it might hibernate pretty fast when you leave the computer idle. If not using power manager there is a similar settings in Windows under power options. You have the options to specify that the computer should hibernate when running on battery, power adapter or you can disable this setting as well to prevent hibernate.
If you let me know the version of Windows you use i can be more specific where to find those settings if that might be the problem.

T400 2764-CTO with led backlit. startup or back from sleep, the led backlit won't turn on itself

I have a 4 month old T400 2764-CTO with led backlit.
sometime when I start up T400 or come back from sleep mode, the backlit won't just turn on itself. I can see what it shows on the LCD somehow if the environment is not too bright. Only if I log in and put the system to sleep again and wake it up, the backlit comes back mysteriously.
Is this a setup problem or some defect with led backlit?
I have tried with vista home basic and vista business and both of them have this problem.

Perhaps this might solve your problem (http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=T400_series_ThinkPads&thread.id=9159). I run a T41 under XPPro so am not sure if this is applicable, however I too get a dimming when switching to battery.

What is the acceptable RAM model for T400 2764 CTO (I mean ram BUS number)?

Hi,
I have T400 with the model number 2764 CTO. It has 2*2 GB of ram installed and now I want to add a 4 GB module and remove a 2 GB one.
The problem is that I have the option to get a BUS 1066 mhz or BUS 1333 mhz RAM and I do not know which model will work with my laptop.
Please let me know if you happen to know whether the 1333 works on the laptop or not.
Thanks,
Sarah.

both 1066 mhz and 1333 mhz would work, but they all operate at 1066 mhz speed. That is the speed at which they operate at. I think you should just get the 1066 mhz version.

T400 2764-CTO Memory updgrade

Hello,
I am planning to upgrade RAM on my T400 as I am running Win 7 64 bit
Currently, I have 3 GB Ram and am planinng to add a 4 GB Ram such as:
4GB PC3-8500 DDR3-1066 Low-Halogen SODIMM (the plan is to remove 1 ram and swap with 4 GB ram so in total i have about 6 or so...)
My problem is that I don't know what type of RAM it currently has i.e. 1066 MHz or 1333 MHz. Also, I don't know how many DIMMS my laptop have??
Is there any way I can find this information out for my specific laptop without opeining the back of the machine?
Appreciate any help.

Go to Solution.

CPU-Z will show you the kind of DIMMs:
http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
The T400 will use either 1066MHz or 1333MHz DIMMs at 1066MHz anyway.
Here are the disassembly instructions:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-70069.html
Basically, it's the four palmrest screws, and the palmrest comes off to expose the DIMM slots under the touchpad.

I have bought a T400 according to above. How can you generally determine if the HW is 32 or 64 bit?

@ kstrid, mere mortals like you and I can't change the forum. The mods can, and maybe they will. It isn't (very) important. I only mention it since you may want to put future T400 posts in the correct forum for (hopefully) better responses.
Just to confirm what richk said, your processor will run a 64 bit OS: Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor P8600
I'd add to what he said that using virtual machines eats a lot of RAM. If you are doing just "day-to-day" computing, you won't see any advantage to a 64 bit OS and additional RAM. If you are doing heavy computing - or running VMs like I do - more RAM would be a benefit.
It's been pointed out that 32 bit some apps won't run in a 64 bit system. That can usually be handled by running them in a virtual 32-bit environment - XP mode, VMWare player, and others.

Best imaging software for thinkpad t400

I am using my product recovery disks to reset my thinkpad t400 to factory settings. To prevent this factory revert in future and to just reinstall the OS with the necessary software I am thinking to purchase an imaging software like Acronis True Image or Symantec Ghost.
I tried checking on the net but getting mixed reviews. so i would like to know from experts here, Which of the two software work best with Thinkpad t400?

I confess to also finding Acronis to be a great cloning and imaging software, I haven't used anything else in years. Although I have mostly used it for cloning I have never had a problem recovering / upgrading systems from images when the target HDD is inserted in the target system, the so called reverse image / clone.
Here's a couple of links to threads on cloning with Acronis on "older" ThinkPads, (pre T400), which were also used to create forum Knowledgebase articles. (There are also others in the KB).

Problem with 3rd party RAM for Thinkpad T400

Hey everyone,
I just installed 1GB Hynix RAM (came from my macbook pro) onto my Thinkpad T400. At first, it booted up fine. I did all the memory tests and everything. No problems found.
However, every once in a while, when I reboot my laptop, the bios beeps once, three times, once, then three times. I looked up the beep codes and called customer service and it has to do with the memory.
Sometimes when I press the power button, the laptop turns on but the screen doesn't. I just have to force it to shut down then restart...then it's fine.
Any suggestions? (besides buying overpriced lenovo branded RAM)
Thanks in advance.

gatorman1122,
umm, i think we've already established that it's DDR3. it's absolutely impossible to make DDR2 modules work in your system even if you removed the check pin from the socket. and, even if you did get it to fit, your system wouldn't even POST. the pins are different in both quantity and mapping.
what hasn't been established, however, are the exact specs (not the type) of the module installed. what speed is the module? what's the part number? is it an original apple module or an aftermarket? again, more info is needed on what you installed.
also, what beep code are you getting? is it the beep code for memory or for something else? you can check codes in the T400 HMM if you haven't already.

Thinkpad T400 with Vista OS won't start up

Hello all,
I'm a relatively non-proficient computer user with a T400 that is having some issues with starting up all the way. For some background, this is a pretty old computer obviously, and has had its share of trouble already. It has had one battery die and one hard drive die. Lately, it has been sporadically over-heating and turning itself off. I wouldn't be surprised if my present dilemma is the result of multiple interacting problems, but I would really appreciate if anyone could help me out.
My laptop is set to hibernate when it's closed, and today when I opened it up it was just a black screen - not a black screen like the computer was off, but like the black screen shown during start-up when no words are shown. This wasn't alarming to me because I often have to turn the computer off via the power button and then turn it back on, because opening the screen sometimes doesn't seem to force it out of hibernation. But when I did it today, I started getting this problem.
If I press the power button and then do nothing, it goes through the initial boot stages and eventually comes to a "Windows failed to start" Windows Error Recovery screen, suggesting that I launch Startup Repair. If I do launch startup repair, I get to the "System Recovery Options" window but there are no operating systems listed. When I click "Next" I'm informed I must log in to access System Recovery Options, and then I'm forced to restart, repeating the process. On the other hand, if I select to Start Windows Normally, I get that same blank black screen.
I am able to access BIOS. Here's what I have tried so far -
1. Burning Lenovo Diagnostics (http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?&DocID=DS025448) to a bootable CD and attempting to run it on the T400. The T400 won't boot from the CD. I definitely burned it as an .iso file, and I sent the DVD-RAM drive up to the front of the boot order, and I also tried pressing F12 and selecting the drive specifically. I also changed SATA Controller Mode to "Compatability" - I don't know what that means, but I read it as a possible solution. No matter what I have tried, I hear some whirring from the CD drive during start-up, but then it stops and I end up at the same Windows Error Recovery screen.
2. HDD diagnostic program in BIOS. When I do this, the test doesn't progress at all and I get "Error code 0000: Read verification failed."
Any ideas? I've been thinking it may be time for a new laptop, but if there's a possibility of prolonging this laptop's life then I feel I might as well. Thanks in advance for your help.
Edit: Another thing I noticed is that a lot of people have T400 start-up issues due to a broken USB port. I do have a broken port, but I made sure that none of the pins are touching each other or either side. So I don't think that's the problem either.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That drive is going bad, and fast. Read verification failure usually indicates a rather deadly flaw.
You *might* be able to insert the drive into an USB enclosure and get the files from it on another PC, but it should be done sooner than later.
Time to start shopping for a new hard drive or SSD.
Good luck.

Thinkpad T400 LCD problem

Dear Lenovo Expertise,
My thinkpad is T400; 7417-CTO.
For past one wk, their is a constant "thin yellow" line in the right corner of LCD. It sometimes disappears when I press corner of LCD. But still it re-appears. Its driving me nuts.
Pls tell me what to do. Do i need to replace it ?
Regards,
Dr. Khan

Try eBay:- T400 LCD
Marketplace of forum.thinkpads.com • Index page is another alternative, personally I recommend the forum as I have bought quite a few things from there.
Hope it helps.

Problem with my T400

Anyone has a suggestion where I should send my complain to (no more calls). Here is my story of purchasing a thinkpad T400.
11/30/2009
Because the online order system down, it took me over 10 hours with many tries to placed my order. This is understandable because the 20% off . Finally, my order was placed and I received an order number 3D3xxx.
12/14/2009
(1) I received the notebook and discover the battery is not chargeable.
(2) Call technical support. I was transfer to Warranty department because they have no information of my notebook? Should the warranty information automatically generated when I register on line?
(3) The warranty information was enter to the system. I was told it will take 2-3 day to send the data over to the technical support department. So an exception was made so I can get service right away. A case 23PHxxx was created.
12/15/2009
A UPS shipping box received. I sent the notebook to your eastern service center.
12/18/2009
(1) The notebook was sent back to me. There was no notification of the shipment so none was available to sign the package. It took me two hours to pick up the package at a UPS center which is far away and unknown area for me at night.
(2) I was notified that technician, Z. Young, replaced the system board and reloaded factory Installed software. But he cannot replace the battery because the battery is not under "warranty"? I do not know why the above "exception" can let him replace the system board, but not the battery. The worst thing is, a wrong version windows was reloaded, 32 bits instead of 64 bits. I already have a T60 runs on 32 bit xp. I need a 64 bit notebook to work on MS sharepoint 2010 which requires 64 bit OS. When I received the notebook on 12/14, it cames with 64 bit OS.
(3) I made a call to technical support, I was assign a new case number, 22QGxxx and was told to call next day because no warranty information.
11/19/2009
Call technical support, I was told to call again on Monday because none in the warranty department works in weekend.
11/21/2009
(1) Received a call from warranty department. After verify the customer, order, model and serial numbers. I was notified there was a data entry error so no warranty information for my notebook is avaliable. It should be correct.
(2) Received a call from technical support. A new case, 20TTxxx was created. I was told, a new battery, a windows 7 64 bit system recovery cd along with an used AC adapter will send to me. I need to return the bad battery.
11/22/2009
(1) Received AC adapter only.
(2) I called technical support and was transfer to customer services because technical support does not have shipping information.
(3) I was transfer again to back order department and notified that the battery was in back order. They do not have sn EDT for the battery and have no information of the windows recovery cd.
(4) Finally, I was transfer back to technical support and notified the windows cd should be send by a vendor and will take 2-3 days.
As of now, I still do not have a workable notebook yet. You can see the time I spent on the matter. I have to take risks of my job to made most these calls during work hours. It is incredible. I used to love thinkpad and its services. Next time when I need a notebook, I need to think thought after the experience I had this time.

Eg10013,
Can you send me a PM with your sales order number, and your service cases ?
This sounds like we made this a lot more difficult than it needed to be and I'd really like to look into this.
1) Sometimes batteries aren't properly recognized... we can try to reset them by removing battery and AC from the system, press and hold the power button several times for 5 secs or so each time.   Reinstall battery and AC and power up system - see if battery will now charge. I've seen this once or twice - very low incidence rate, but worth spending 2 or 3 mins to rule out. Easy fix, if this is the issue.
2) All systems ship with a base warranty - there should not have been a delay in providing you with support for at least the base terms - onsite upgrades can take a week or so to register and be recognized.   I think we should have offered to send you the battery and AC adapter rather than bringing the system into the repair depot.   Problem determination over the phone should have been able to determine if it were the adapter (check voltage at the tip - try to start system with no battery installed. If starts up, the AC adpater is probably ok)   (Check battery to see if system will boot from battery only, no AC - if so battery probably ok).
I'm not sure why they decided to re-image the system - should have had nothing to do with the problem, especially on a brand new system.   Ordering recovery disks can take a couple of days.
On your battery order - if you call support and ask for the warranty claim number - should be a CWxxxxx number, you can call parts at 800-388-7080 and following the phone menu inquire about status on this claim number - they should have an ETA.    Phone option 3 on the first menu, then press 2 on the second menu, then stay on the line and a rep will answer.
I'm going to be out for the holiday, but will return to work on Monday, and will follow up with you to ensure this is resolved.
I apologize for your experience so far...
Best regards,
Mark

Problem to come back from sleep mode in Lenovo Thinkpad T400 using Windows XP

Problem to come back from sleep mode in Lenovo Thinkpad T400 using Windows XP. Each time closing the T400 lid and try to make the laptop into a sleep mode for some time, it does not properly come out of sleep mode. Login screen is able to see when opening the lid for the first time, but it only seen for a while before then a black screen on T400 Thinkpad appears. Sometime the hard drive activity can be shown also. And then, to come back I had only one option to hard re-boot.
I tried Fn+F4 and power button once to come back but no use.
Please provide me some solution for this?
Thanks in Advance.

oh sorry and its been closed inbetween uses. When i open it the keyboard doesn't light up and it makes no sound.

Hi,
As usual, it is strongly recommended to backup all important data prior to upgrading any operating system. It is also strongly recommended to verify all currently used hardware and software with the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.
Depending on if you are moving from Microsoft Windows XP or Microsoft Windows Vista there are two different types of installations that can be performed when migrating to Microsoft Windows 7.
First, it is important to note that there is not an in-place upgrade from Microsoft Windows XP to Windows 7. Instead of an upgrade, there is a type of installation known as a “custom” installation. This option for installation is also available when moving from Windows Vista. A custom installation will attempt to back up your data files and bring them over to Windows 7 in what is known as a “windows.old” folder however this is considered to be a clean installation. Your applications that were installed prior to Windows 7 will require reinstallation. You may find the following resource Upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7 helpful.
If moving from Windows Vista, there is an option for an upgrade installation. The upgrade installation must be initiated from within Windows Vista. You may find the following resource Upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 helpful.

What 2.5" SSDs are compatible with ThinkPads?

I just purchased a Crucial M500 240GB SSD to upgrade my T420 and after installation and reboot I get the dreaded "2100: Detection error on HDD0 (Main HDD)" error. After Googling it seems that this is a common problem with ThinkPads and various SSD's it also appears that there is no known solution other than changingt to another drive.
I would like to think that there are some SSDs that don't cause this error and are safe to purchase knowing that THEY WILL work in the ThinkPad models. Is there such a list of compatible SSD drives? Sure I can return the M500 and try an Intel or Samsung but would these drives also be susceptible to the problem?
Hoping I will be able to use my fantastic T420 with an SSD in the future. In the meantime I will be installing using a spinning Seagate HDD.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Hi,
I run a Crucial M4 mSATA SSD in my T420. Does your SSD throw that error consistently? IIRC my SSD did that too after a firmware update. Crucial explained that they do some internal housekeeping that can make them slow to initialize for a couple of power cycles. Mine did it once or twice and never again.
Have you checked for firmware updates for the SSD? I can't guaranted that you don't have a compatibility issue but there may be other explanations.

The installation CDs of my thinkpad t400

Hello all
I have a problem. I have a thinkpad t400, but I don't have the installation cd's to reinstall the basic programs of the system-
Is it possible to get them somewhere, to buy them or to dowload them for lenovo?
Please I need some help ! did somebody knows where to get them

If your T400 is currently working and still has the Lenovo factory stuff installed - and you haven't changed your hard drive partitioning, you can burn them yourself. It will be called something like create recovery media, or create factory recovery media.
You only get one shot at doing this. If you've already burned a set and lost them, you will have to get them some other way.
Depending on your version of Rescue and Recovery it may be an option on the advanced screen, or perhaps as a selection in the "create rescue media" option on the advanced screen. Or perhaps as an option in the "back up your hard drive" option on the advanced screen.
Another way (if it's still there) is to click on the Q partition in windows explorer. You should be offered the option to create recovery media.
Sorry I can't be more specific. My T400 is running a clean MS install with the Lenovo tools added, so I can't quite duplicate a factory setup for reference.
If you need the disks to repair an already damaged OS, you'll have to get them from Lenovo as Maliha says.
