Slimmer Charger for ideapad S10?

Do anyone know if "ThinkPad and IdeaPad 90W Slim AC/DC Combo Adapter"compatible with S10 ideapad? Couldn't seem to find any info on the website except for the Ideapad word on the title. And, if we can get this in New Zealand's Lenovo?
If not, are there any slimmer charger compatible for Lenovo S10 available?

Oops! Just tried the 20V tip. It is too "fat". However, the 19V tip works fine. So, in all, it is a go!

Car charger for Ideapad K1

I would like to use the K1 as a GPS. I couldn't find a car charger for it. GPS drains battery quickly. I don't think the battery can last for a 8-hour drive.
Any ideas where I can get one?
Thanks
Solved!

The output of the Lenovo AC charger is 12VDC to the K1. USB is specified as 5VDC. If you plug the data cable into USB you will only see 5VDC. I wonder if you had a cheapo USB/car adapter as indicated above would it put out 5VDC or 12 VDC? If it did put out 12 VDC would the K1 data cable have the right internal connections to deliver the charge?
I will find out tonight as I just received a 2$ USB/car adapter in the mail...

User-developed Fan Control for the S10(e)

Hello and welcome.
When you've searched the internet and found this thread, it's possible that you are an owner of a Lenovo Ideapad S10 or S10e which has a little problem with the behaviour and/or the noise of the fan. In this post you will get all the informations you need to handle this problem for yourself. It should also be the same on every S9/S9e.
Just a few comments before we begin:
This is not an official support or solution by Lenovo.
We are just normal users as you are, but we get rid of the fan and wanted to find a way to handle it. So if you want to try anything of the methods described here you have to know that you'll do all this only at your own risk. We are not responsible for any damages of your device. You should only use these methods if you know what you are doing.
Please note that this thread is only for discussing, improving, trouble shooting and perhaps extending the fan control utilities. Any general complaints about the fan problem itself should be placed in the original thread right here: http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=IdeaPad_Netbook&thread.id=795. It already has 80+ pages (the link goes to the first page) and it is better to exclude all the fan control stuff because there it's very difficult to keep an overview.
Here you may post all of your questions, ideas/brainstorming, concerns, thanks and so on and you are really invited to participate and be an active member.
In this first part of this post I'm going to summarize all information about using a fan control utility. For any newbie it will be enough to read this post to get all necessary information. The second part does the same for developement of fan control utilities as we still have no known or working fan control utility for Linux, Mac OS X and other OSs I've forgotten - for now.
For getting started you need a S10 or S10e with an up-to-date BIOS. For the S10 it's the 90 67, for the S10e the 66.
The battery issue
Under very specific circumstances - that we haven't figured out yet - it might happen that your Lenovo S9/10(e) no longer detects the battery while using S10FanControl or S10Fan. It might occur after 2 minutes, it might occur after 2 months, it might never occur. It does not occur using Notebook Hardware Control.
It can be solved by removing the battery, waiting 10 seconds and put it back in. Then the battery is re-initialized and the detection works again.
S10FanControl - Windows
The first utility is S10FanControl created by user dresslerc. The current version is 1.0.0.1, available here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/yd5xmnrnijf/S10FanCtrl1.0.0.1.zip. After you've downloaded it you just have to extract it and start the .EXE in the "Release" folder. Here are the notes and the description dresslerc posted right here:
Everyone,
I've uploaded a version which everyone can use to test with. Remember this is still a TEST version although I think it works for the most part. It should work both on the S10/S10e.
Please install the .NET Framework 2.0 or later first.
Then click here to download the exe: http://www.mediafire.com/?jlg2enkjdxn
Once downloaded, extract the files and hit hte S10FanCtrl.Exe. Once this program launches you should be able to control the fan. Keep in mind that if you lower the fan speed then it'll take upto 30 seconds before the S10 registers the change, so be patient.
I've only tested this on the latest BIOS 59. I am sure it will work on the 57 as well but the individual speeds might not work properly on that version. Please try it out and report back.
The only issue that I heard so far is that occasionally the fan will kick in regardless if in Manual/Smart Mode. Also the temp it shows may not be accurate. If you find any other issues please let me know what they are so I can attempt to fix them.
Once we have all the kinks worked out then I will release the source.
Heres a quick Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PKl70ZgmFg
REMEMBER: USE PROGRAM AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES THIS PROGRAM MIGHT CAUSE.
Application Use:
BIOS Controlled - Fan is controlled by the BIOS
Smart Mode - Fan is controlled based on the conifguration in the options. You can set the threshold here at what temp you want the fan to kick in...
Manual - Fan is controlled manually by the slider.
If you want to have the program startup automatically, then place a shortcut of the app in the PROGRAM FILES -> STARTUP folder. Then you may want to go to the options and make the application minimize at startup.
Edit:
It seems there are some issues with the app and the S10e or previous BIOS versions. Will post a fix asap.
The source code for S10FanControl is available here: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=7a3fb99d33817c08c2b435915e8821d7e04e75f6e8ebb871, written in Visual Basic .NET 2008.
S10Fan - Windows
The second utility is a tool written by user slash:
Hi guys,
Well it looks like Lenovo dropped this matter after all. Anyway, I have here another fan controller to add to the bunch. I have been using it for some time now without any problems. It is for both S10 and S10e.
What the program does is basically the same as others. The S10's fan speed is controlled according to the ACPI thermal zone temperature. By over writing the values which resides at offset 50h of the EC register at an appropriate timing, the ACPI thermal zone temperature is over ridden. The program is written in C and uses WinIo created by Sysinternals. The GUI version is available now.
It should be noted that the fan speed temperature thresholds differs with BIOS version. For 14CN67WW and 14CW90WW the fan changes speed at temperatures 60c, 65c, 70c, and 80c. Furthermore, the BIOS will automatically shutdown the S10 if the temperature reaches 90c.
The program has a fail safe mechanism that automatically disables itself if the actual ACPI thermal zone temperature goes above 85c. This allows the BIOS to regain control and the fan will work as intended by Lenovo. If the temperature drops below 85c the program will take over control again.
To run the program, you will need administrative privileges.
Known working BIOS versions: 14cn58ww, 14cn60ww, 14cn67ww, 14cn90ww
The program will work with any BIOS version as long as the BIOS uses the 50h EC register readouts to control the fan.
build 2009.05.24
Higher priorities for EC commands.
Usage: The program will run in the system tray. Double click or right click and use the menu to open the program. To determine the BIOS temperature thresholds, use the 'Setup' button. To run at boot time, place a short cut in the startup folder.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/njhz0icym2t/S10Fan.zip build 2009.05.23
Usage: S10Fan.exe
Added GUI.
build 2009.05.17
Usage: S10Fan.exe 60 65 70 80 70 75 80 85
S10Fan.exe test
The first 4 values are the BIOS temperature thresholds, the latter 4 are new thresholds that we want to over ride with. To determine the BIOS temperature thresholds, use the 'test' option.
build 2009.03.16
Usage: S10Fan.exe 70 75 80 85

For updates and newer releases please check slash's post: http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=IdeaPad_Netbook&view=by_date_ascending&message.i...
Notebook Hardware Control - Windows
The third utility is a profile for Notebook Hardware Control. I've adapted it from a profile for the Lenovo N500 which I've found here: http://nhc.yourcopy.de/overview/. With the manual for creating the profiles that can be found here: http://www.notebook-treff.de/board/database/hilfsprogramme-f%C3%BCr-nhc/92-how-to-create-an-acpi-fil... I was able to change the ACPI commands to work on the S10(e).
Installation and setup is divided in two steps. The program Notebook Hardware Control (NHC) is available at http://www.pbus-167.com/. Install the program, but do not start it for now. Then you need my NHCConfig utility, available here: http://forum.eeepcnews.de/download/file.php?id=1476. It detects your model number and BIOS-version via WMI and writes a proper S10(e) profile to the NHC acpi directory. The GUI is German if you have a German Windows and English if not. Additional languages can be added.
After you've extracted the ZIP-file you have to start the nhcc.exe (requires .NET Framework 2.0). At first a message appears that you use the program at your own risk. Then you can choose if you want to apply your own settings (experts) or if you just want the program to run with my defaults (newbies). In the settings window you can see your system details on the left, you can set up your thresholds in the middle and you can set the fan speed you want on the right. Then click on execute.
Now start NHC. Go to the "Settings" tab and click on "Show all NHC options and settings". Then a few more tabs appear. Go to the "ACPI" tab and check if the "ACPI Control System" is running (if everything works, the message "ACPI Control System running" will appear, otherwise it says "ACPI control system is not yet configured for this system"). Now click on "Show ACPI Control System details".
Here you can change the temperature values the fan control depends on (the settings from NHCC are the default values). On the bottom of the window you can see the "Current CPU temperature". That is the value you have to deal with. In general it has a value of around 60°C. In the middle you can see four user editable temperature values. You can leave the values as they are if everything works. The on/off values are responsible for the temperatures at which the fan starts running and stops again after cooling the device. The level values are responsible for the fan speed, for example you can set the off_level higher to let the fan run all the time at the lowest level, if the values do not fit for your device or whatever.
You can switch between NHC and BIOS control by disabling or enabling the "ACPI Control System" or by closing NHC.
Q:
A:
With every utility it is possible that it takes some time until you see an effect after you've started the program. Any failure of the programs should be no big problem because the only thing that should happen is that the BIOS controls the fan. Another issue that might occur due to the way the fan is controlled is that the fan may start running for a very short time and it looks like the fan control has lost control. The fan should stop immediately or at least after a few seconds.
Keep in mind that running the S10(e) with a fan control means that the S10(e) has to deal with higher temperatures. That could mean that the device will not last for 10 years but only 9 years (who uses a netbook so long...?). In every case you need a tool for monitoring your cpu temperature. We know that especially Core Temp 0.99.5 and Real Temp 3.00 do a very good job. That is important because the temperature values you need to set up the fan control are different from the values reported by the cpu sensor, they are between 15°C and 20°C higher. A normal temperature reported by the monitoring should be around 40°C, with the NHC default values the fan starts running at 52°C and stops at 38°C.
Q:

Q:
A:
END using fan control
BEGINNING developing fan control
Controlling the S10(e)'s fan is a litte bit difficult because it looks like there is no way to control it directly. But it is possible to manipulate the temperature the BIOS fan control depends on. As long as the built-in fan control thinks that the cpu is cool enough the fan stays off. And that is exactly the point where we can attack.
The fan control depends on a field called RTMP in the memory of the embedded controller. It can be accessed via "_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.ERAM", the offset of RTMP is 0x50 (hex) or 80 (dec). It is a direct I/O read/write. The complete NHC command for reading the value is: ACPI.FIELD.ReadByOffset("_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.ERAM", ref value, 0x50, 8) with "value" as the variable which gets the value.
What program logic do you need? You need a timer or something else that conducts an always-refresh cycle. It sounds very easy: You read the value, manipulate it and write it back. And it is that easy, you just have to keep some things in mind.
This refresh has to be done very often. The procedure must be very thin and quick. Also the bus that is used to communicate with the EC is a problem, but since the S10e BIOS 66 it became a minor problem for me because it looks like the built-in fan control now depends on some kind of average value over the last few seconds and it doesn't really matter if one write-cycle is failing.
The read-event must be placed before the write-event. Otherwise you just read your manipulated value. The field is filled by the system regularly, so you just have to test if the read_value is different from the written_value, then you know that the field was filled with a "fresh" value. Like "if read_temperatue <> written_temperature then real_cpu_temperature = read_temperature else do nothing".
About the values you have to write back... you will have to test and play a bit. My experience is that you can select three fan levels, starting at 59°, 62° and 70° - at least with the NHC profile and my S10e it's like that. It's some trial 'n' error. My fan stays off at < 59°, but you should select a very low value for fan_off like 30°. In my opinion it switches off much faster the lower the written value is. But it's just a feeling, I haven't measured it.

Perhaps some users from countries with other languages than German and English can add tags for "fan", "control" and "noise".

Great opening post Carsten!
The latest bios:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-71252 (BIOS 66)
The FSB can be reduced from 133MHz to 100MHz using SetFSB, this also reduces the heat:
http://www13.plala.or.jp/setfsb/
clockgen = SLG8SP513V
If you add a shortcut to the startup folder the program will start at startup. Under properties you can change the target to:
"C:\Program Files\SetFSB\setfsb.exe" -s100 -b1 -cg[SLG8SP513V] -w20
So it starts with a FSB of 100Mhz, in the background, with the right clock generator, after 20 seconds.

How to change win 7 k to english in my ideapad s10-3

1. how to change it in english version?
2. is it possible to change without going to its service centre?
3. should i pay money for it?
4. can i do it directly from internet?
5. how long does it take?
plz reply me as soon as possible , i'm unable to use my ideapad s10-3 netbook until you help me

unless you have the ultimate and enterprise version of the win 7, then you can't change the menu system language, without having to purchase an English edition of the win 7 OS.
You will have to purchase a separate retail copy of Win 7 to install on your ideapad.

Ideapad S10-3 black screen, won't boot

Hello, every body.
I have a lenovo ideapad s10-3. Right now it is black screen and won't boot, but power works.
I disassembled it, and just left CPU, graphics card, and RAM. Power works, and fan starts rotating and stops. I leave it running, i can feel CPU and Graphics Card hot.
Before this problem(black screen and won't boot) happened. sometime it can boot, somtimes it does not and black screen. Sometime after trying several time (force ti shutdown, restart power on), it boots and goes to be normal. Right now it won't work anymore.
At the left-bottom of laptop, there are 4 flash lights, the former 3 are working fine, and the last (4th. there is small arrow (two sides) in the center of cylinder, what does it mean?) does not flash. If it flashes fine, the computer works well, if not, won't work.
I clean the RAM fingerpin, won't work. Tried to connect with external screen, won't work. Remove BIOS battery, won't work. I tried another Hard Drive and RAM seperately, it does not work.
I did try this solution (How to fix Graphics Card in Lenovo R61 ), but it does not work for my computer.
I can press power button to force the laptop shut down, it looks like the motherboard has no problem
What is going on my laptop. Please help me of this trouble. Thanks a lot.
Happy Christmas and New Year.

Hi,
1) Yeah, somehow OS X has been messed up enough that it can't finish loading. What else have you done with it lately? When I went through my machine fiddling with Quicktime in the system Library folders, I ended up where you are.
2) I don't think you can fix it from the OF prompt. I had a daily backup of my drive, and so I was able to boot off of that. You can boot back into OS 9 though, by holding down the Option key after a cold boot's chime.
4) I'd say it's worth fixing. Beats plunking down $500 or more on a new machine.
HTH,

Fixing IdeaPad S10-3

Hi Everyone, I am trying to fix a small Ideapad S10-3 laptop for a young girl to use, it has win 7 on, but none of the hotkeys seem to work as I thought they might, it seems to me that there is Lenovo software not installed to drive the laptop functions. Also the wireless card seems to not be working, as the light bottom left is not coming on..
Any ideas?

IdeaPad S10-3 broken hinge

The right plastic hinge of my S10-3 laptop broke off for no reason. I always close my netbook properly and always take good care of it. This netbook has been with me for almost 2 years already. What would happen if I didn't repair my laptop right away? Is there a way to repair it without spending too much, I mean it's just a hinge. I read from other forums that repairing that part could cost approximately $300.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi unbeatable.
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
If you hear squeaky sound when you open your LCD screen or you feel that the left / right hinges are getting loose then I recommend you have it serviced as it can damage the bottom platic if left unrepaired.
You can get spare here:
Lenovo Ideapad S10-3 Left and Right Hinge Set
And you can follow this diassembly guide or this video as a reference. If you're not comfortable opening the laptop, you can have it service at a local computer repair store.
Note:
Use ESD protection and be careful in diassembling your PC as it has parts that are easily breakable.
Hope this helps.

[b]EDIT: This seems to only be necessary in flux for whatever reason. I'm back to my normal dwm and this messed the keybinds up, so I'll remove them from this thread until I do some further experimenting.
I also found that 866 what the best framebuffer resolution the same way you did
Instead of configuring in xorg.conf, I used hotplugging and an excerpt from a forum post to get the mousepad working correctly. I still have no xorg.conf. I will edit this post with the fdi file I used for the trackpad when I have my s10 with me.
I've tested the webcam, the linux-uvc-svn-all package in the aur works fine for me. The mic on the other hand looks like it needs a newer version of alsa -- http://www.linlap.com/wiki/lenovo+ideapad+s10 reports that .18a worked in ubuntu and the current package available in arch is .18. Alsa has release .19 and I quickly rebuilt the package to see if it would fix my problem but I had no luck. I probably need to rebuild more packages as well.
I have not tested the card reader but I plan on testing that when I get home tonight.
