Registry issue with Lenovo Power Manager with X61

I have the following problem.
Hi guys,
Lenovo power manager v1,6 quit working properly lately so I googled for a solution which involved removing power schemes which had reproduced in the registry to cause an overload to the application.
Anyway because this wasnt really working (I ended up with having powerschemes but wasnt allowed to change them) I in my brightest moments decieded to delete the messed up part of my registry [HKEY_CURREN_USER --> Control panel --> PoweCfg] because it was preventing my reinstalations of said program from functioning properly since they resorted to the previosly present registryentrys.
Well it appears that when installing the powermanager it does not write these new registry entrys and Im stuck now without a way to get them back. I wonder at what point that registry entry is written in the first place, does anyone feel like exporting said part of their healthy registry...please...?

..this one is from an x200 with Server2003...seems like you're familiar enough with registry exports and wrapping and shoiuld be able to convert this into a *.reg form:

T430 unable to sleep with Lenovo Power Manager installed

I have a T430 with Windows 8 installed with the latest BIOS and Lenovo Power Manager installed, and anytime I try to put the computer to sleep(with Fn+F4 or lid close), the laptop enters a stage where the screen is black and the fan continues to run. There's no way to interact/escape this except for holding down the power button.
After uninstalling Lenovo Power Manager, the sleep function works again, but the Mic Mute and caps-lock on screen display stop working in addition to the LED in the MicMute refusing to light up.
Is there any fix to this?

I'm having the same problem. I've tried all the updates and still have the problem. Sometimes it will sleep, other times it won't. Sometimes when it is trying to sleep I get a bluescreen for "DRIVER POWER STATE FAILURE."

HELP with Lenovo Power Manager

Hi, I recently my new Thinkpad T530 and I accidentally uninstalled Power Manager. I re-installed it. Now when ever I log on It says, "RUNDLL: There was a problem starting C:/Program. The specified module could not be found." And whenever I turn on the icon in the taskbar it is gray and has three dashes. PLEASE HELP.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That is alright oss288, try uninstalling the program completely again. Download the power manager utility and driver to the desktop, install in that order, and reboot. Good Luck, and keep me posted on your results. Thanks oss288!

Please help me the registry value of Lenovo Power Manager

Hi everyone, I want to change the Battery Health Mode on my L430 windows 8 but i cannot find the setting in Lenovo Metro App. I know that we can change it in Power Manager on Windows 7, so I think about changing the registry value, and I must have the registry key value of Optimize for Battery Runtime Mode(not the Battery Span mode).
If you don't might, may I have your battery mode and the registry value in the following
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Lenovo\PWRMGRV\Data\DualModeBattery
This is my registry value, and it was in Automatic Mode

Thank you for your help and I'm aprreciate for that

Jurgen,
Are you just getting this error while attempting to verify? Can you successfully deploy the app? This issue looks familiar to an earlier post in this forum and I believe the archive is OK but is anerroneous verify error? If the cmp-resource is defined in sun-ejb-jar.xml then it should be fine and if the resources are correctly configured. The other thing to check is that you have a persistance manager resource defined in domain.xml; i.e.,
<persistence-manager-factory-resource enabled="true" factory-class="com.sun.jdo.spi.persistence.support.sqlstore.impl.PersistenceManagerFactoryImpl" jdbc-resource-jndi-name="jdbc/ejbTutorialDB" jndi-name="jdo/pmf" object-type="user"/>

Yoga 2 pro / win8.1 - "Compatibility issue with your power management system"

Hi,
After downgrading form win10 back to 8.1 due to endless driver malfunction and a significant decrease in overall performance, I got this message in windows action center: “Compatibility issue with your power management system”. When I click on it it says: This solution could not be downloaded
Most likely causes:
• Your computer was unable to download the solution at this time. Check to make sure your computer is connected to the Internet, and then try to download the solution again later. As you can see, my internet connection is fine. Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks,
Daniel

Check if installing this helps you:
http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/em8.0.2.3.exe
If you already did this, check if you can do this BIOS update as well:
http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/5ecn96ww.exe
Let me know if it works.

Z40-70 compatibility issue with your power management system

I noticed today that the Action Center says "Compatibility issue with your power management system." The description underneath is: Your power management system isn't working peoperly because a compatible driver is not available for this version of Windows. When I click on View message details it just says "Your computer was unable to download the solution at this time. Check to make sure your computer is connected to the Internet, and then try to download the solution again later." All power related functionalities however seem to be working. Battery is charging; battery percentage is showing; I can adjust screen brightness. I am not sure when exactly this problem started but it defenitely was not there before. Tried downloading and fixing the Power Management Software and updating BIOS. Still have the same message. System: Windows 8.1 64-bit

What model do you have? Can you post your MTM or model name?
Sometimes these messages are a false alarm.

[T530] Change Lenovo Power Manager Profiles with [Fn]+[F3]

T530, 2429-5ZG
OS: Windows7 Pro SP1 (x64)
Power Manager 6.45
Lenovo Power Managment Driver 1.65.05.21
Hello everybody. I hope someone can help me out as I can't solve this problem myself.
I used to have a R52 where I could use the keyboad shortcut [Fn]+[F3] to choose between the power profiles or to switch off the display.
Using the T530 now, the shortcut [Fn]+[F3] just locks the screen instead of choosing between the power profiles.
Is there a way to make it work like it did on the R52? I did find the executable (C:\Program Files (x86)\ThinkPad\Utilities\PWMOSDV.EXE). Is there a way to "reprogram" the key shortcut not to lock the screen but to execute the PWMOSDV.EXE file?
I would appreciate any help.

- [Fn]+[F7] -> choose between internal or external monitor or both.
- I know that option tab from my R52, but there is no such option in my Version of Power Manager (v6.45)
The problem is, that even in the manual provided for the T530/W530, in the chapter for the "special keys", there are no keys defined for choosing between the power profiles, it also says that [Fn]+[F3] locks the screen.
What thinkpad model and Power Manager Version do you use?
PS: I browsed the forum and I'm not the only one missing this option:

WADK components & setting used for power management with answer file for windows 8.1 ent

hello,
I have to deploy windows 8.1 ent device with MDT answer file related to power management with customized following settings:
High performances
sleep timeout settings
standby or sleep and hibernate setting
Enable critical battery task.
But don't know
1. how to manage power settings using answer file (WADK) for win8.1.
2. which OS Windows image component and setting used for power management in WADK.
Thanks
Richa Km

The way I do it with my task sequences (this works with MDT as well as SCCM) is to have an exported power plan using the POWERCFG -EXPORT command. I create a software package around the resulting *.POW file with a command do do an POWERCFG -IMPORT.
I then issue a POWERCFG -SETACTIVE command to the GUID of the *.POW file to enable that power scheme.
More information on the POWERCFG command can be found here:

[SOLVED] Lid doesn't suspend anymore with xfce power manager

The options "When laptop lid is closed" are set to suspend (and used to work), but still, when I close my lid, nothing happens. Using the logout dialog or the suspend button my keyboard works. Is it a problem with xfce-power-manager, or ACPI not registering the lid event anymore? Any idea how to fix that?
[edit]
I solved that problem by removing ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-power-manager.xml, killing the power manager and reloging in my session to flush the settings. Then I reconfigured the lid closed action to suspend (and everything else to my liking).

Sorry to bother you again, but for some reason it doesn't work anymore...
Somehow it can't lock the GNOME session, because when I enter the above line from /etc/acpi/handler.sh manually as root in TTY1, I get this error:
** Message: Failed to get session bus: Befehlszeile »dbus-launch --autolaunch=c9375f4ea0008d92177b28db000009ae --binary-syntax --close-stderr« brach mit von Null verschiedenem Beenden-Status 1 ab: No protocol specified\nAutolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.\n
If I enter this command inside GNOME, everything works just fine, it locks the screen and suspends.
EDIT:
Setting the XAUTHORITY environment variable properly did the trick. Therefore, I borrowed some lines from here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Su … losing_lid

Tpfancontrol + lenovo Power Manager - what do you use?

Hi Folks,
I've recently installed tpfancontrol 0.62 on my T410 that has Lenovo Power Manager 6.36. My machine started shutting down spontaneously (not often - once or twice a day or so). I'm wondering what version of Power Manager folks have installed, and whether you encounter these issues when you have tpfancontrol installed?
Thanks a bunch. I've tried uninstalling PM, but it hard to live without fn-f5, fn-f6, etc.
T410 2516-CTO
Win 7 Pro x64 SP1

No new T-Series here yet. I have a couple older ones loaned out.
I'm on the road a lot so I took a liking to the X-Series. The newest ones are the x-61s.
Make sure that the Hotkeys utility installed the system interface driver . It'll show up in Programs and Features in Control Panel.
I use this fan control alongside of tpfancontrol. It just depends on what I want to play with. It's only for Windows 7 and it works on 64 bit. I just got it to install on Windows 8 64 bit.
tpfancontrol installs the tvi port along with the package. On this one, you have to install the port first and then reboot, then install the fan control. There's a few bugs in it: I've never been able to get it to start with Windows, I start it manually from the desktop. Also, when it hands control to bios if the machine gets too hot, it throws an error and shuts itself off.
I think part of the problem with it is that the tvi port that comes with it is an old version, but it has potential. You can change settings from the UI.
I've never had any shutdowns with either tpfancontrol or this one.

Can't uninstall Lenovo Power Manager in Windows 8 - upgraded from Windows 7

Hi all, I recently purchased a Lenovo X230. It was preloaded with Windows 7 Home Premium. I upgraded this system to Windows 8 Pro without any problems.
I noticed that Windows 8 Pro has some issues with the Lenovo Power Manager, which after perusing this forum seems to be pretty incompatible with Windows 8. I am trying to uninstall the Power Manager in the Control Panel, but I can't find the application to install. I only see an option to uninstall the Lenovo Power Management Driver. Does anyone know how I can uninstall the entire Lenovo Power Manager from my system?

Backstory: I installed the Power Manager on a clean installation of Windows 8 by setting it to Windows 7 Compatibility Mode. It seemed to be working swimmingly, until the next day when I tried to use it and discovered that it would always crash on start-up. Unfortunate. I naively attempted to correct this problem by uninstalling and reinstalling the application. Strangely, I was able to successfully uninstall the program using the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel and then reinstall the program. But, despite the reinstallation the problem persisted and I tried to uninstall the program again. It would not uninstall, claiming the installer wasn't compatible with my system.
Fix: Run "C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield Installation Information\{DAC01CEE-5BAE-42D5-81FC-B687E84E8405}\Setup.exe" -l0x9 -AddRemove from an administrative command prompt. This should completely remove Power Manager and it's entry in the Add/Remove Programs console. The GUID may be different if you were not using the most recent version of Power Manager, I installed 6.36. The additional power plans that it originally installed are still in the Windows Power control panel.
I am still wrestling with the Power Manager to get it working somewhat reliably on Windows 8. I am very disappointed that this level of effort is required on a new system that is Windows 8 compliant.

Installing Lenovo Power Management

I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to install Lenovo Power Management that comes with the U400. I was on the phone with technical support and they recommended me to uninstall that software in order to fix another issue I was having. To no avail the problem still exists but I lost out on the power management software. Does anyone know where/if I can find this software? I have looked everywhere for it.
Thanks
Solved!

Hi Pacman,
please download Lenovo Energy Management Driver for Power Management

Lenovo power management UI

I have the latest Power Management drivers , but everytime I try to enable the power management , I cannot see any UI. Nothing starts up. while searching in wndows 8, I can't find it , even though its installed. I have upgraded to win 8.1. Last time I had win 8 , it worked fine. Please help.

Hi chuckk48,
The issue of missing Power Management driver is due the driver request that came in did not list R500 as supported systems under Win 7.
Driver doc:
http://support.lenovo.com/downloads/ds032258
TXT file:
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/n19ku07w.txt
The driver previously has 1 list for Supported Systems and 1 list for Supported OS.
Now, there are multiple combination of Supported Systems and Supported OS, thus, we have to split the driver into multiple documents; i.e. 1 document = 1 OS.
The driver source team is now checking which systems supports Windows 7, Windows 8.
Once we receive the updated TXT file, we will update the drivers documents accordingly.
Meanwhile, we will update the driver document with links to other OS's driver.
Here's the list of drivers for now.
Win 7:
http://support.lenovo.com/downloads/DS101347
Win 8:
http://support.lenovo.com/downloads/DS101346
Win 8.1
http://support.lenovo.com/downloads/DS032258
We found the Win XP link in the driver document:
=== excerpt from driver document ====
Ended support for Microsoft Windows XP.
Note: For Microsoft Windows XP, use the version 1.67.04.05 (GTKU09WW).
=== end of excerpt ======
Here's the link:
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/gtku09ww.exe
For your last question:
Another question is why Update Retriever downloaded a driver that is not for XP. My Update Retriever search had been for machine type 2714 (R500) for Windows XP.
We will need to investigate on this, keep you posted on the outcome.
Thank you.

ThinkPad Yoga: No Lenovo Power Manager?

Is there no Lenovo Power Management software for the ThinkPad Yoga? I liked the application. I noticed on the regular Yoga 2, there is an Energy Manager app.

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
If you are using Windows 8/8.1, I’m sorry to inform that Power manager doesn’t exist for the above said operating systems. Energy management is designed to work for Ideapads and ThinkPads are supported with a set of applications called Lenovo Think Vantage Toolbox. Unfortunately, Lenovo had to withdraw power manager for its ThinkPad models due to certain conflicts with Windows 8/8.1.
Hope this clarified your query!
Best regards,
