RE: Ideacentre K430 Power Control Switch (need the original cpu meter)

Dear Lenovo,
I buyed this desktop, and it worked well...BUT!... ->
I reinstalled (full HDD format) the Windows 7, and deleted my backup (recovery?) partition. When i finished the installing of Windows 7, the power control switch doesn't work anymore and the CPU meter has gone. Installed all drivers, downloaded from lenovo.com but there is no software for Power Control Switch and Cpu meter.
Here is the manual, - i need this funktion. <<<<< LINK
You should upload (or make) a software for power control switch with the original CPU meter.
You should support the users!
Thanks...

Do you have W7 64 bit OS. If so, I can help.

K430 Power Control Switch software

Brand new K430. Just out of the box today. Ran Windows update and installed 50 or so updates. Uninstalled McAfee and that's all. When I right click on the Control Switch icon on the desk top and pick run as Administrator I'll get a Do you want to allow this program to make changes, say yes and then I get nothing. Pulled out the Lenovo DVD and installed all the drivers, didn't help. If I reboot, the Control Switch window opens for about 5 seconds and shows cpu at 46% then closes. If I click on the ? on the left I see power control switch 4.0.0.1226.
So what's the secret to getting the Control Switch software to work??
thanks

I was puzzled by this too. You can pull up the switch by clicking on its icon down in the tray by your taskbar, which just makes a speedometer-thingy appear on your desktop. Tis completely useless as far as I can tell, aside from changing colors as I manually flip the switch atop the computer. Am I missing something?
Perhaps relatedly, when I change the settings in windows for when my display should turn off (10 minutes), and when my computer should go to sleep (never), this seems to have no effect -- it still shuts off the display in less than 5 minutes and then goes to sleep. I'm guessing this is because the windows settings get overridden by some sort of Lenovo power-controlling software, but I can't figure out how to adjust that. It might even be the same power-switch program that we've been having trouble opening in any useful way. Anybody have any ideas?

K430/K450: here`s the SOLUTION to Lenovo Power control switch not working anymore.

If your power control switch isn`t working anymore BUT you didn`t unistall it or erase some of his files, chances are that over time some software/update took control of some setting used by the Lenovo switch.
If this is the case, before reinstalling the software, try the following:
1 - Check your power plan option, if is on something else than Lenovo change your power plan option (scheme) to Lenovo Power Scheme.
2 - Access your pc advanced startup setting (win+x) check for the services LitModeCtrl and LenovoComService and set the two services to automatically start when the computer startsup. If it`s not working 99% is because some software (the most common is Samsung SSD Magician) has set the two to "Manual". Change to "Auto".
3 - Reboot and the Power control switch software will be working again.
I wonder why no one from Lenovo advice this, but i`ve had to find a solution myself after countless hit & miss attempts.

IdeaCentre Power Control Switch Software

I have an IdeaCentre K430 on which I would like to do a clean Win 8.1 installation. I have the Win 8.1 installation DVD from Microsoft. If I do this clean installation of Win 8.1, is there any way for me to then install the Lenovo Power Control Switch software on my K430? I ask this because I can't find this software available for download anywhere on the Lenovo site. Thanks for your help.

hi sermak,
Thanks you for using Lenovo Community Forums!
I'm afraid that you cannot install the software back, Since it is one of the Proprietary software that came preload on your machine a download link for this is not available online.
I have encountered thread here with similar concern.
I hope I answered your question

K450 doesn't have Power control switch?

Hi,
I recently bought a Lenovo Ideacentre K450 (refurbished) from lenovo outlet. When I received it I was a bit surprised that it doesn't have the power control switch, and there's no LED lighting as well. It looks more like a low-end K410. I suppose all K450 would have the power control switch, or am I actually wrong? The model # of my machine is 57314032, with i7-4770, 16GB DDR3 and 2TB hard drive.
Does anyone have any idea? Not a big issue but kind of annoying... Thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi adcmaker,
Thanks for Posting!
I suggest you contact Lenovo Post sales.
The Power Control Switch is a solid feature and not part of the optional ones.
It would be best if you would hear it from them since the unit is refurbished Im not sure if this is really how the system is.

Power Control Switch not working?

So I restarted my PC at one point (No problems at this point) and upon getting to the desktop, I am prompted with the message "Failed to start Power Control Switch, please use Power Control Swtich as administrator to resolve the problem." I exited it out and now my computer has a slew of problems. I have tried running multiple games, they all work (but some have longer long times for some reason -not sure if this is due to the problem), however, the audio has stopped working for everything; games videos, etc.
I tried running the power control switch as an admin but it just displays the same error message. Not really sure what to do, I considered reformating but there are a lot of files which I don't feel like having to get again so I'll consider that as a last resort.

Hello Complete!
Don't know what Lenovo model you use but my reply and experience consider K450 model.
Longer time ago i get "Failed to start Power Control Switch" message when i use Windows system restore option to go earlier point of time. Don't know why but after successful system restore Power Control Switch software stopped working.
You can try to use Windows system restore option to go another point where you know for sure that Power Control Switch worked without problems or you can also use Lenovo Rescue System program. Just remember that if you haven't made any backup's using Lenovo Rescue System, then that way you can only go to factory state.
Just remember to save and backup all important files before making restore!

Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

If I do a clean install on my MacBook Pro will I be able to re-install apps (FCP, Aperture, MS Office etc.) from a Time Machine backup, or will I need the original install DVDs with authorization codes?

I have two questions...
1) If I do a clean install on my MacBook Pro will I be able to re-install apps (FCP, Aperture, MS Office etc.) from a Time Machine backup, or will I need the original install DVDs with authorization codes? (because I don't have them)
2) Has anyone ever seen anything like this before on their computers?
The Apple Genius' were stumped by my laptop issues and said they'd never seen anything like it before and recommended I did a clean install. Below you can see my trash bin, and if you look at the "Empty" button it reads "N201" and then there's the "N39" to the left of it. You can also see these numbers over by the folder area--"SD5, SD6, SD7." But that's not all...
When I right click on items I see the numbers again. Instead of "Open with" I get "N152" and there's an "N35" and "LB1" towards the bottom.
I have no idea what's going on so I'm just going to do a clean install on my machine but I don't want to lose my apps. I don't have the original install DVDs for them anymore. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Thanks!

You don't lose them. You can always redownload them from the app store after you log back in with your Apple ID.
"Buy, download, and even redownload.
You can install apps on every Mac you use and even download them again. This is especially convenient when you buy a new Mac and want to load it with apps you already own."

I have a new mac book air and somehow iPhoto was installed twice. Also, a second library was created and it became the default library. I attempted to switch to the original library but it won't open. what can I do to revert to the old library?

I have a new mac book air and somehow iPhoto was installed twice. Also, a second library was created and it became the default library. I attempted to switch to the original library but it won't open. what can I do to revert to the old library?

Both iPhotos open to a default library (#2) which has 300+ photos, I attempted to "switch to library" under the file tab in iPhoto and tried to choose "other library" which had most of my photos. When I attempt to open it, it doesn't do anything. I can see it and there are 2 libraries but it won't open.
Have you tried to open your old iPhoto library by double-clicking it directly, instead of using the File menu? That should work, if you are running iPhoto '11 and the library has been created by that version or an older version. DO you get an error message, if you select the library directly in the Finder?
I checked and it is the latest version of iPhoto.
Is it iPhoto '11, version 6.0.5? "Latest version" is ambiguous, because it will depend on your system version.
Where is your iPhoto Library stored?

If you can access the device: Tap Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings.
If you can't do that then you need to Restore it as New:
Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.
You can also try using DFU mode:
Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.
