Software Upgrade !!! Backlight comes on when docked to Power Supply

Hi
I am after your opinion, regarding getting apple to upgrade their software to fix the previously mentioned bugs and to also include the following feature. I am Sure everyone will agree it would be extremely useful.
When the ipod is docked to a *external power source* (i.e.. Speakers,Docking Station),the *backlighting would automatically turn on*.
Therefore enabling you to see what is playing. Rather than having to touch the ipod/remote to activate the backlighting to read the display as we all do so often.
This feature would also need to have the ability to switch it on/off. Also to be turned off by the sleep timer and when removed from external power source
The only control we have on the backlighting at present is a timer or to have it always on. When you have it set as *always on* it is a major drain when running on the batteries power as it is still enabled
Please leave your comments after reading this as this should be a feature on all current models we have 2 x classics and 3 x 3G nanos in our family and everyone needs this feature on their Ipods.
Thanks for your time in reading this your comments are appreciated
Aj

Shoot, then it is not possible?
I thought I had missed it in the settings or the documentation. Thank you for posting about this. I had it on my more simpler Archos Gmini XS202 (backlit when on external power). I will of course support your request.
I use my iPod 90% of the time docked (and charging) on my HiFi sound system where I want to see what plays. I would also be happy with a setting parameter allowing me to choose between off, on, or *on during n seconds each time a new track is played* (wouldn't that be nice!).

My Macbook Pro with Remakes funny noise when connected to power supply cable and no other response. The best description of the sound I can give is the buz the computer makes on startup. Sound goes on and off while connected

I am new to the Macbook community. I own this Macbook since 10/2012.
My Macbook Pro 15 with Retina Display suddenly totally stopped responding. No display, no activity on keyboard. When I connect power supply cable, the Mac makes a noise as if it is starting up, but this lasts a second and this sound comes and goes the whole time the power cable is connected.
Any advice?
Thanks!

My MacBook Pro will not powerup (even when connected to power supply).

My MacBook Pro will not powerup (even when connected to power supply). The caps lock key is the only light on.

Hi PatB11902,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your MacBook Pro does not seem to power on, but the caps lock key will light up when you press the caps lock key, you are likely seeing a video issue.
There are several steps that can help troubleshoot this behavior, found at this link:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays - Apple Support
Start with these steps:
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Start up in Safe Mode.
If your Mac does not start up normally after these steps, here are some additional tips that can help:
Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on - Apple Support
Verify you have a good connection from your Mac to the wall outlet by confirming the power cord and adapter if present are securely connected and plugged in. To check if the wall outlet is working, plug in a lamp or other electrical device.
If the wall outlet is working and you continue to have no power try another power cord or adapter if available. If it works you may need a replacement cord or adapter.
Disconnect all accessories that are plugged in to the computer, such as a printer, hub, or other mobile device.
If your Mac supports user-installable memory, solid state drive, or hard drive, and you recently installed any of these, make sure they are installed correctly and are compatible with your computer. If possible, reinstall the original memory or drive into the computer to find out if the behavior persists afterwards.
If you are still unable to start up your computer after trying each of these steps, visit an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for further diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).
Note: Diagnostic fees may apply for issues not covered under warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan (APP).

T-61 fully discharges when docked and power removed from dock

Is there any way to stop my T-61 from fully discharging when powered off & docked and power is removed from dock?
(I remove power from the dock to cut down on parasitic power drains in the office)
I usually remember to remove it from the dock but when I don't, it soemtimes goes into deep dioscharge and I have to remove the memory to get it restarted again.
That is a huge pain.

I've just flashed the new BIOS (version 1.30) but the issue still persist. Is Lenovo aware of the issue with USB 3.0 SAS storage attached during system boot?
Since flashing BIOS 1.26 the behavior has changed, I can now see ThinkPad BIOS screen, then Windows 7 start loading and shortly after the Windows loading logo is displayed I get a black screen with "text mode" progress bar like the one displayed when you insert Windows 7 DVD - then I end up with a BIOS screen prompting me to select a boot device. After selecting the primary HDD, it all happens again so I am stuck in a loop (except now it asks if I want to do a system repair).
In 1.30 BIOS changelog it says:
(Fix) Fixed an issue where the computer might not be booted from bootloader program.
Unfortunately, this is probably referring to another issue which is not related to the connected SAS device.
Is there some way to submit this particular issue to Lenovo or is someone already working on resolving it?
Lenovo ThinkPad W520 15.6" 1920x1080, UEFI 1.42, Intel Core i7-2820QM 2.3GHz, Intel HD3000 + nVidia Quadro 2000M 2GB, Kingston PNP 16GB (4x4GB) 1600MHz RAM, Crucial m4 040H 256GB SSD, Lenovo TP Drive Adapter UltraBay 12,7mm + WD Blue 1TB 5400rpm HDD, Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 AGN, Gobi 3000, Lenovo TP Port Mini Dock Plus Series 3, Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit

Problem with NEW H520 when installed new power supply & graphic card. Please help!

My H520 was working perfectly and was running FAST..especially when rebooting. ( It was AWESOME! )Then I installed a new power supply (Coolmax 400w) and a new graphic card (Sapphire Radeon HD6450) and then everything changed. Now my computer is booting very SLOWLY and all the programs are taking a long time to load too. I was getting a black screen for almost a full 2 minutes before the windows 8.0 screen would finally load up and then it hangs there for a few seconds and finally goes to the start screen in windows. But BEFORE I installed this new hardware, when I would reboot, I would see the Lenovo splash screen come up for a few short seconds and then it instantly went to the windows welcome screen. And even then I would barely have enough time to see the welcome screen before it instantly loaded into the windows start screen. Everything would load up fast on the desktop too and we'd be good to go. It all took about 30 SECONDS.
But now? It takes MINUTES to get everything going. After it FINALLY loads up (it takes almost 2 full minutes now!), everything hangs up. When you first click on the desktop, it takes a few seconds for all of the icons to pop up. Before I loaded the new hardware, everything loaded up instantly. I didn't even see the icons load because they were already there. But now I have to wait for them to load up before I can even see them. And it's like that with every program and web browser I try to use now. Everything hangs up at first and then finally loads. The programs work but they are sluggish.
So I uninstalled the new power supply and put back in the original 280w power supply and I took out the graphic card but it did no change. The machine is STILL running slow on everything it does and booting very slowly.
I have seen this problem mentioned elsewhere about Lenovo computers but there is never a solution. Please help! It took me a long time to save up for this computer and I have been babying it ever since. I will never be able to afford a new one or pay for tech repair. I need to fix this! I was so thrilled with this computer before the hardware upgrade. This is devastating to me that it is working so poorly now when all I was trying to do was upgrade it a little bit.    Now it's performing horribly and it's only 6 months old.
I ran a four hour test on the hard drive and it is fine. I ran all the system clean ups, optimizations, registry cleanups, windows disk cleaner, defragger and virus scans. Nothing is showing up as not working but there is CLEARLY a problem. It was never this slow.   And why is it STILL acting this slow even after I uninstalled all of the new hardware that made it start acting this way and went back to the original setup?
I'm trying to run a memory test on it now but the BIOS will NOT allow me to select another drive to boot from so I can't boot from the flash drive or CD drive to run the memory test. I have NO IDEA what to do next and I am starting to pull my hair out in frustration.
Please, is there anything that can be done to make it better again?
Any help would be HUGELY appreciated. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Jennifer

I totally give up!! I restored everything to the ORIGINAL state with drivers AND hardware and STILL everything is not working properly like it was BEFORE the upgrade.
So this has been the WORST experience with Tech support EVER!! I have spent DAYS on the phone for HOURS with these technicians and nobody seems to know what they are doing. They put me on hold every 10 minutes and are gone for 10 to 15 minutes and when they come back, they seem all set on a new solution but when you ask them questions about it, they have NO CLUE how to answer and then they put you on hold again. Nothing gets solved and after HOURS on the phone, I just tell them to stop because we are getting no where but running around in circles that make no sense. THIS A NIGHTMARE!!
So I totally gave up on being able to upgrade this machine. To any future buyers, I STRONGLY recommend you do all upgrading BEFORE you get it home for the first time. Make sure you have your power supply and graphic card INCLUDED before you bring it home or you're mostly likely going to have a NIGHTMARE upgrading it later.    Technical support is a HORROR STORY and expect to be WAITING for LOOOOONNNNG periods of time both ON THE PHONE and ONLINE and probably ending up with NO SOLUTION in the end.
I've VERY upset with how this turned out!! I'm just gonna have to deal with the fact that my computer is permenantly messed up and NOBODY AT LENOVO knows how to fix it. So I'm stuck.
I decided to send back the new power supply and the new graphic card because of this nightmare with tech support. I put everything back to the way it was when I bought the computer and it is STILL acting up!! I just want to revert it back to factory settings .. INCLUDING THE BIOS... but Lenovo said I have to send the WHOLE computer back to them to do that. All I can do from home is restore from a point in the hard drive and that's not enough. I need a TOTAL CLEAN INSTALL. Everything needs to be wiped out and reset, not just restored to a previous restore point. I've done this multiple times and all it does is erase all the programs and stuff I put on the computer. The drivers and other codes are still the same. And then bugs come up and things get all wonky. I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE I TRIED TO UPGRADE IT!!
I am NOT comfortable with Lenovo's "solution". I do NOT want to send my computer back to them for them to reset it with factory disks ESPECIALLY when they stated that they are NOT responsible for any damage in transport or otherwise. I have to buy extra packaging to make sure it gets there safely. They told me to use the original box and packaging, that is the only way they can be sure it will get there safe. Who has the original stuffing SIX MONTHS LATER?!?! I don't want to be sending my computer across the country to get jostled all over the place and have that add to the slowness of the hardware because it was jostled.
Can't I reset it from home? Can they not send ME the disks instead of me sending my whole computer to them?
I'm so incredibly frustrated with this. I hope somebody answers quickly and that I don't have to wait DAYS to get a response again.
I absolutely LOVED my Lenovo computer! And then I tried to upgrade it. BIG MISTAKE!! Now everything is totally messed up and Lenovo's customer support for technical problems is HORRID!!
Somebody please help. This is driving me crazy with frustration and totally breaking my heart. It took me a VERY long time to save up for this computer and it was my most loved possession. It was a reward for a lot of hard times and now it's all broken and acting slow. And it's only 6 months old.
Is there a solution to this very frustrating problem?
I just want it to go back to the way it was before.
And is there a very low cost KNOWN TO WORK WITH THIS MACHINE upgraded graphic card and power supply? Is there a very specific brand and make? If so, could you let me know what it is in case I try to upgrade it again someday?
Thank you for your time and for reading this!
Please have a FANTASTIC day today!!

Mini dock without power supply

Hi, guys,
I'm looking for a second Lenovo Mini Dock Plus 433830U Docking Station, but I don't want to spend $230. Is the dock available without the power supply? If so, where?
Thanks, ZZ

Hi Zipzap:
I don't have one for sale, but I do have a couple of suggestions for you:
1) Just enter the part number into a Google search box, the result returned by Google will be a 'product search' listing prices at various vendors. Lowest price I saw when I did this a few moments ago was $178 (complete, with power supply!) at, of all places, Sears.
2) Try eBay - it's a great place to find stuff like this. Again, just enter the part number.
If you happen to find one at a nice price that is located in Canada, let me know... I need to get a second one.

Advanced Mini-Dock 250410U power supply and compatibility questions.

I just purchased a new T400 2764-CTO which has the discrete video. I replaced a three year old T43 with a screen that failed. Lenovoi told me my two port replicators for the T43 would work on the T400. That proved to be an error. So now I am in the market for a T400 port replicator. I am looking at the Lenovo Thinkpad Advanced Mini-Dock 250410U. I have purchased two power supplies and so do not need another power supply. I don't trust Lenovo for an accurate answer.
My questions: Can I purchase an Advanced Mini Dock without the power supply? And secondly, will this Mini-dock work with the T400 2764-CTO. (I am running Vista Business as my sole OS.)
Thanks for any help.
Solved!

yes, 250410U is the correct part number for the advanced mini dock compatible with the T400.
it is sold with an a/c adapter and unfortunately cannot be purchased separately. you could, however, resell the adapter if you don't want it. forum.thinkpads.com has a free marketplace if you're interested.

C655 freezes when unplugged from power supply

I just got my Satellite C655 back from having something fixed from the store I got it from. When I turned it on this morning I noticed the battery was around 59% so I plugged in my power supply - like I often do anyway so I don't run down my battery when i'm at home. After a few hours of regular use, I was about to turn off my computer, so I unplugged my power supply. However, my laptop froze when I unplugged. It stayed frozen for 20 minutes until I had to do a hard reboot by pressing the power button.
What caused this? I asked the store and they said they did nothing with the power, but I recall this happening before when I got it back from them.

It's likely that your iPod's battery is shot and in need of replacement. You can have your iPod serviced by Apple or a 3rd party repair company ( a little bit cheaper).

Disc burner or software not found comes up when I try to burn a disc on iTunes.

I read a few old threads about this that said to check the disc permissions on disk utility and did all that. I read something else that said turn the computer off and turned it off and then on again but it didn't help.This is the first disc I have tried to burn since downloading mavericks. I haven't had any trouble before although I don't burn too many discs. I have an early 2009 iMac. Thanks for any help.

You may need to replace the PRAM battery. Anytime it is over 4 years old, it can make the optical drive act up.

Dropped 3gs into lake for 2 hours. Found and put in rice for sev. days. Will come on when connected to power, but not pc. Goes out after min. or so. Will it likely work again without service or am I dreaming?

As mentioned above, I dropped my Iphone 3gs into lake and it took me about two hours to fish it out. I put it in a jar of rice for over a week. It will now come on only if I plug it into the electrical oulet. It will not come on using the usb connection on the pc. It also cuts out after a short time - usually about a minute or so. Will this phone likely work correctly again without major service or should I just forget it? I have aready bought a replacement to use, but I hate to just toss it if it may work again. Also, is there anything else I can do short of taking it in to the Apple store? I suspect the cost of service will not be justified.

You are welcome. There are always suggestions of things to try, but in the end you just get frustrated and end up taking it in anyway...save yourself the trouble and visit the Apple store genius bar.

External monitor not working - software upgrade

Use an external LG monitor with my Macbook at work - has worked like a charm. There was an Apple software upgrade this weekend - today, when I came back to work, I can't get my external monitor to work. The Mac doesn't see that it's there and the monitor's stuck in Power Save Mode.
Thoughts?

I have reset the PRAM and confirmed that the monitor and cable are functioning properly, but still no change.

P7-1490 upgrade Graphics Card and Power Supply

I just got a GEFORCE GTX 650TI Boost graphics card. The 300 watt Power Supply on my P7-1490 can't handle it because I need a 6 pin power connector. The 1490 comes with a 300 Watt Power Supply. I need something at least 450 watts. Which upgrade will fit my box. In addition, can the Jasmine Motherboard handle the new graphics card. It does fit into the PCI Express slot.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Please consider the Corsair CX500, CX500M, CX600, or CX600M power supplies for your needs. Yes, the Jasmine motherboard in your p7-1490 should be capable of handling the GTX 650 Ti. Additionally, you will need to disable "Secure Boot" and possibly enable "Legacy Support" in the BIOS before installing the GTX 650 Ti.

hi Fort3,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
If your Planning on an upgrade, Yes It is definitely safe to upgrade the Power Supply even to a 600w or 500,
But Judging on the K450 Casing, this is somehow like the K410 which also may have one connector that you will not find on a replacement PSU
this is the Connector From the Lenovo OEM PSU
This is For powering up the Case feature such as light and the performance switch on top of the case,
Other Users with k410 who did an upgrades said that they just let the light and the switch off without the connector and there were difference in performance,
Some Did an Upgrade like on this thread,

This question has been asked and not answered multiple times, but I'll try again.
Are there any recommended replacement PSUs for the Huntkey HK380-12GP S2 ATX 280W that is installed in some of the K320 models?
If not, are any specs available to provide some guidance in purchasing a new power supply?
Thanks.

As I understand you need the detail on Power Supply unit.
I need to share with you this desktop comes with two kind to Power Supply
Some: 280 watts, universal, manual switch
Some: 450 watts, universal, auto-sensing
