Solve X200s the wireless radio randomly turned off/discon​nected

I had exactly an issue on my x200s. The wireless radio randomly turned off, and Window 7 was frozen, no response. It took me a lot of time to figure it out. Eventually, it worked out.
Please go to "Lenovo access connections", and find the "tools" tab. In the "global setting", uncheck "Allow the wireless lan radio to be turned off when inactive".
This is going to solve your problem. I worked for me.
Hope this help.

FWIW, I think the ThinkVantage software just sucks. On my X200 the wifi would drop constantly, every 3 to 5 minutes.  Driver upgrade, software upgrade, settings etc didnt change anything. I wiped the entire hard drive and installed linux, and I haven't seen a drop since.  Maybe try just using the windows wifi to manage your connections.  It could also be related to the power management dropping the wifi, which would also be the ThinkVantage.

  • Radio Randomly Turns Off

    I've had this issue on the 8330 and 8130 a few times.  The radio on the device randomly turns off when the battery has a full charge and the device is receiving a good signal from the towers.  What causes the radio to turn off like this?  Is there a way to correct this without ordering a new phone for the customer?
    We have done so much with so little for so long that now we can do anything with nothing.

    I've never seen that issue with an 8330 or an 8130 before, only think I can say is the batterys are some how defective. Obviously if a battery gets low enough, the radio will turn off.
    If someone helped you give them kudos. Research all info!

  • T61 - Intell 4965AGN - Wireless radio is powered off

    I am getting to wits end trying to get my wifi connection to work.  I NEED HELP!!!
    I just purchased a Lenovo T61.  It came with Vista which I despise!!!!  So I decided to install XP.  I didn't want to eliminate Vista since I develop programs for windows and want to keep Vista around for testing purposes.  I partitioned the hard drive and installed Windows XP Pro SP2.   After about 3 weeks of research and installs, un-installs and re-installs and then finally getting ThinkVantage Update installed and letting it get everything updated I think I have a pretty good setup.  Except for the wifi adapter.
    The computer came with the two LAN connections.  A gigabit adapter for wired connections and an Intell 4965AGN wifi adapter.  I am using ThinkVantage Access Connections.  I prefer to keep this because I use the laptop at home, work and on the road.  Access Connections gives me the capability to save a separate IP configuration for each location.  That is worth a lot.
    The wifi switch on the front of the T61 is switched on.  If I bring up Fn-F5 it shows the "Hardware Wireless Radio Switch" as ON.
    I am able to get the gigabit connection to work without issue.  But I can't get the wifi adapter to work.  If I bring it up on Device Manager I see the 4965AGN under Network Devices.  If I bring up the Properties dialog it shows "Wireless On" on the Advanced tab and the Driver tab lists a driver version 11.5.0.36 dated 11/27/2007.  The toolbar shows the wifi icon with a red X showing that it is not connected.  If I click on "View Wireless Connections" I get the message that Windows cannot manage that wireless connection.
    So I start Access Connections and start setting up a new wireless connection.  I identify the connection as wireless and move to the second page titled "Enter wireless network configuration:".  I give it an SSID and click on "Find Network".  I immediately get a pop-up stating "The wireless radio is powered off.  Do you want to power it on?".  I click on "Yes" and that dialog goes away.  But nothing on the entry page changes.  None of the drop downs are populated.  If I click on "Find Network" again I get the same message.
    I have tried re-loading the wifi drivers from the Lenovo web page with no change.  How can I fix this?

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I think I have a solution to this. It worked for me. I wandered into this forum and found people with the same issues. I have just fixed my R61i. It was a Vista which I downgraded to an XP ( it was doing my head in)..
    Everything went well, apart from the wireless not showing in access... it worked, but only outside. I too LOVE the access program.
    This is how I fixed it..
    I went here
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-62875
    I then downloaded the patch and installed it. I was curious in that the "Intel Proset Wireless Software was NOT in my program list (under Add/Remove Software)
    I ran the install (its clear in the instructions where to find it) page 3 under Manual install.
     I restarted and ping... up came a new icon, and gone was the initial freeze at startup time (which was happening every now and again)
    I love my R61i. I love it even better now it works under XP and works with access. Although Mine is an R61i  A lot of T models are listed at the top of the solution. Print off the  full text and read it whilst you work through.. Good Luck
    I have registered just to pass this on because a few of you above seemed stumped, just like I was.

  • Monitors randomly turn off!

    We have a PowerPC G5 which works perfectly fine (or was). We moved it to a different part of the office to be used by somebody else.
    At the old location it was hooked up to 2 CRT LaCie monitors. At the new location it's hooked up to 2 LCD monitors.
    While the editor is working, the monitors will randomly turn off for a few seconds, and then turn back on! There has been no system changes since the move, nor any new software installed (to my knowledge). On his old mac (a slower PowerPC G5), his 2 LCD monitors worked perfectly fine. Any idea what's going on?

    cheak your graphics card. I think I reading post that the ATI has overheating issues, expecially when dusty. I have a 2008 Mac Pro with the 2600, and have similar problems.

  • W500 Wireless Radio wont turn on

    My wireless raido on my W500 seems to be having issues. I've tried everything i can think to turn it on, Fn-F5, network and sharing center, checked the Bios (where everything is enabled and on), and tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for the card. I believe it is a problem with ThinkVantage and a poor update, but im not sure.
    Any ideas?

    Has the wireless switch been turned off?

  • WT200 3G - Wireless connection manager says radio is turned off

    Can someone please help. I have a WT200 tablet and am trying use/setup the 3G component..
    But the Wireless connection manager keeps telling me that the radio is turned off.
    There are no switches and i have searched the net for a solution however I have seen the same question but not the answer.
    HELP ME! PLEASE!

    WT200 tablet does not contain an physical switch to enable WLan. You should ensure that Wireless Communication function (in Win 7 settings) is ON !!!
    You can do that in Start -> control panel -> network and internet -> network and sharing center
    here tap Set up new connection or network
    At least you should go to: Start -> All Programs ->Toshiba -> network & Connectivity -> Wlan indicator settings
    and could display the system Wlan connection status

  • HT6154 My iphone randomly turned off out of nowhere. I was getting dressed, my phone was working one minute then literally the next it syopped now it wont charge i cant turn it on however the phone is on cause i called it and it rang. What to do? help ple

    My iphone randomly turned off out of nowhere. I was getting dressed, my phone was working one minute then literally the next it syopped now it wont charge i cant turn it on however the phone is on cause i called it and it rang. What to do? help please. I tried putting it in DFU mode but my lock button doesnt work and my phone wont charge so i cant connect to itunes

    There is no reason to put it in DFU mode, a reset should work.  Although, without a working power button it is not possible to reset the device.
    Sounds like it is time to replace the damaged device.

  • I was on the phone last night and my phone randomly turned off.  It will not come back on even when I have tried to hold the home button and the power button together while being plugged into the computer.  What do I do?

    I was on the phone last night and my phone randomly turned off. It will not come back on even when I have tried to hold the home button and the power button at the same time, while being plugged into the computer? What do I do?

    Plug it into power for at least 15 minutes.  If it doesn't automatically come on, try a reset... press the home and sleep (on/off) buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Tactic 3d Wrath wireless gaming headset randomly turns off

    My headset recently turns off randomly for anywhere between a few seconds to a few minutes before turning itself back on. I have downloaded all the most recent drivers from support. I have tried disabling the headset and re-enabling the headset in my audio devices. i have tried disconecting the usb from my computer. Nothing i do seems to have any effect in anywhere on my device. It appears to be randomly turning off and on for various lengths of time.
    *Upon further investigation, i have discovered that the problem is that my headset will not stay paired with the usb device. They randomly de-sync and start flashing before synching up again. I do not know how to make them stay paired.

    Any fix found ?
    I know i have to keep plugging it back in multiple times and eventually it stays paired longer ... LOL
    but it does desync...

  • HT4993 Since i downloaded the 7 my phone turns off randomly, the screen freezes and it closes apps randomly

    Since downloading the ios7 my phone will freeze or just randomly turn off or an app i'm working in will randomly close. Anyone else having these problems?

    I would restore your device. Preferably with Itunes through a computer if you can. If not then settings>General>Reset>erase all content and settings. Save a backup if you need to through Icloud. That should clear up any software related issues.

  • Is there a way to turn the 4G radio on and off on the iPhone 5

    I'm able to upgrade my phone on the 1st of March and was recently if there was a way in the settings or whatnot if you could toggle the 4G radio on and off. I live in rural Ohio and theres no need for a 4G radio in these hills but I'd love to have the phone so thats a big issue for me. Any advice is appreciated, thank you!

    Settings / General / Cellular
    The specific options available will be contingent on whether the phone is locked by the carrier. In mine, I don't have any LTE/4G settings available, but can disable 3G for better battery life (after which the phone links up to the carrier using Edge)
