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?

  • Command to Remove remove from dock for finder

    Hi there. I accidentally ran a command twice for the "Remove from Dock" thing to pop up for finder. What can I do to remove this? I have already tried the plist thing, and it did not work, because I ran it twice. How can I reset it and the dock???

    I'm not sure I understand what you have done, but the Dock can be reset by doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
    killall Dock
    Log out/in and test. If that doesn’t work, you need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Use the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/ Library/Applications Support/Dock.  Move the .db to your desktop.
    Then try a dock reset.
    Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
    killall Dock
    Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
    If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Learned from leonie.
    I have to use it after every update.

  • A month ago my iPhone was stolen, I turned on Activation Lock but it never came out BUT an hour ago somehow my apple ID was changed and someone removed from the account both iPhone and iPad and the iPad was also removely wiped. Can Apple help me somehow?

    A month ago my iPhone was stolen, I turned on Activation Lock but it never came out BUT an hour ago somehow my apple ID was changed and someone removed from the account both my iPhone and iPad and the iPad was also remotely wiped. As soon as I saw it I recover the password and return the access to my iPad. But iPhone is not registered for my apple ID any longer. Can Apple help me somehow? I have all the documents and the iPhone box. Will they lock the iPhone and return me access to it. I'm sure it's been attached to another apple ID.
    PS. the apple ID I'm using on the discussons is not the hacked one.

    Try contacting the Apple account security team and ask: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

    Archive the contacts you have in Address book, then delete them, they will be removed from iCloud as well. Restore the archive

    When a Video is removed from the stage or becomes invisible, the video will now pause playback.  This features is controlled through a new property, playWhenHidden, which defaults to false (meaning we don't play the video when it's hidden).  When it becomes visible/on-stage again, we will start playing the video if autoPlay=true.  Otherwise, the video will not automatically start playback.
    This property still needs to be reviewed by PARB.

  • How to (re) take fullscreen when AIR app is restored from dock/task bar?

    Porting an AS3 app to AIR -- learning AIR as I go.
    Switched to AIR because we need to minimize our app to taskbar/dock -- works nicely.
    But when I listen for Event.ACTIVATE and then try to NativeWindow.maximize(), it doesn't work.
    Found the bug thread with the workaround (http://forums.adobe.com/message/3251136), which is to listen to the display stage change and if the current window stage is NORMAL then to maximize.
    stage.nativeWindow.addEventListener(NativeWindowDisplayStateEvent.DISPLAY_STATE_CHANGE, onDisplayStateChange);
    public function onDisplayStateChange(evt:NativeWindowDisplayStateEvent):void
         if (evt.afterDisplayState == NativeWindowDisplayState.NORMAL)
         stageDetails();
    Is this still best option?
    Also, when I maximize() using the above technique on the Mac the menubar is still visible.  How to get back to fullscreen?
    Thanks!

    Alright, Superduper app on the backup drive allows me to launch SD, however, when I select the copy from drive (my backup) to copy to the copy to drive, the laptop HD, I find that the Laptop HD is grayed out.
    I dragged and dropped SD to the Laptop and then launched and received the same result, the Laptop HD is still grayed out.
    My SD says at the bottom of the window, Unregistered, but it was registered on my laptop before the OS install.
    So i am I right that I have to get my network working, then register SuperDuper again, then see if I can select the Laptop HD as the destination drive for moving the apps over to?

  • HT5622 How can I SEE the hundreds of past apps I've purchased and then removed from my puny 10GB iPod Touch 4?

    I've spent hundreds of dollars on apps selected by 4 grandchildren, and I just as quickly I remove them when they're no longer visiting.  I assumed they were stored in the cloud (I've purchased extra space) and that I could always retrieve them.  But I need a reminder of all of these apps (mostly games) that I've already purchased.  (I even removed them from my Mac Air, which has only 60GB storage.)
    Do I need to perform an addtional operation--like select storage or back-up--to ensure all of these purchases go to the Cloud after the initial download?  Or are they they there "automatically," requiring perhaps my Apple ID and password?   And, if so, where--either on the tiny iPod or my computer or both--can I retrieve a list of my apps in the cloud.  (My reasons are simply:  1. to avoid repurchasing the same app; 2. to remind myself of the games preferred by my granddaughters.
    Thanks for any directions.
    Sam

    Hi Samuel.
    You can see and redownload your purchased apps at app store > updates > purchased.
    The Apps aren't actually in your iCloud storage, what you see is your purchase history with links to the originals in the app store, so you didn't need to purchase extra storage. However you should also be aware that if they are subsequently removed from the store, you wont be able to redownload them.

  • Macintosh HD and Network removed from sidebar, how to return?

    Alright, the Mac HD and Network tabs have been removed from the sidebar in the window that you get when you click on the finder tab. How can I get them back.

    Just drag the Macintosh HD on your desktop onto the sidebar and job done. As for the network disk, providing you are connected you should be able to do the same thing.

  • I can't uninstall Thunderbird from my Windows Programs "uninstall list"; why does it not uninstall and be removed from this list?

    Very frustrating...under the Windows "Programs/Uninstall a program" list, Mozilla Thunderbird is still listed AFTER I have removed it completely (I thought) from my computer. I have clicked on "uninstall" several times and nothing happens. I resent the fact that Mozilla has set this up so that it apparently can't be removed from that list.. What's that all about? I have tried to research the problem, even using your website to no avail. All I want to do is get it out of my uninstall/change list. I have not used that program AND won't use it. I don't want that program on my computer/list period. I would appreciate your help.

    This is a fault with Windows application management. Mozilla does nothing to interfere with the install/uninstall process.
    You could re-install Thunderbird to re-synch the applications list and then un-install it again, or you could use a utility to remove it from the list.
    A search for ''thunderbird.exe'' will confirm whether or not it has been truly removed, though you may need to disable all the idiot-proofing that Microsoft implement to stop us seeing the true state of the file system; set it to show hidden files and file extensions for starters.
    Thunderbird is pretty much self-contained. You are free to manually remove the folder the application lives in if Windows is unable to uninstall it for you, though that won't fix the incorrect appearance of thunderbird in the list of installed applications.

  • Membership expired, and got removed from CC team membership.

    I'm on a team membership, accepted the invitation, installed all CC2014 ,and uninstall CC, but membership expiration countdown continues.
    Tried all updates on my mac air, doesn't resolve it.
    Tried to deactiate and reloggin in, doesn't work too.
    Today, I've received an email saying "You've been removed from your Creative Cloud for teams membership."
    which is not possible from our company's admin side.
    What could be the matter? Do I need to get a serial number from admin to activate the apps?
    I'm back on trial now so I can continue with my work, so will appreciate if this gets resolved before trial ends.

  • If a device is removed from the Find my Iphone app on Icloud, does this mean that it is unlinked from that Icloud account when the account is removed from icloud in the settings of the iphone?

    Hi there!
    I have a question regarding Icloud and unlinking an Icloud account from a device such as an iphone. If the iphone device is removed from the Find my Iphone app in Icloud, does this mean that it is unlinked/removed from the account after the account is removed manually in the icloud settings of the phone? Or in the case of resetting the phone will it become icloud locked still? I hope this makes sense and thank you to anyone who answers!

    The following indicates that if you use iCloud to erase the device and then remove it from your account it would then be usable: The quote below is from If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen
    If you remove the device from your account after you erase it, Activation Lock will be turned off. This allows another person to activate and use your device.

  • Battery fully discharging while idle and plugged-in ...

    I've had a new "standard" mid-2011 MBA 13-inch, 128GB,  since Monday (three days of use), and I'm encountering an issue where I can't seem to get any AC (chargers) to work reliably. I was using the system today, for example, until about noon, with the AC plugged-in, the battery fully-charged, and apparently working. I had a conference call in another room, and when I came back two hours later, the system had shut itself off, and no light on the AC cord. System would not even power on. I unplugged everything, moved the AC cord to another outlet (first one is perfectly fine!), plugged it in, and the system started up, but the battery showed 2% charge - after two hours of inactivity while plugged-in. Sounds like something is seriously wrong either with this new MBA/or accessories, or a bug in Lion. I did migrate from an older MBA, so I wonder if I've migrated some setting that is causing problems ... Any ideas are appreciated! Michael
