T400 BIOS bug in version 7UET79WW (3.09 )

I have a T400 (2767AG8) and run Win 7 64. Before I've upgraded to Win 7, I've updated my BIOS to version 7UET79WW (3.09 ). As before the update, I made sure to disable various devices which I do not use to speed up my notebook start. Among the disabled devices are Intel AMT and the Ricoh CardBus controller. But Windows still detects these devices. This suggests that the BIOS does not correctly disable these devices.
Is the issue known?

I have the same problem with a T400 upgraded to the latest BIOS V3.12.  Intel AMT is disabled in the BIOS, yet I still get a "PCI Simple Communications" device in Device Manager without a driver.  Even if I disable this device, I still am prompted for a driver each time I boot the computer.

  • Thinkpad S540 possible BIOS bug concerning WOL

    I have had a Thinkpad S540 for a few months, and have it installed as dual boot Windows 8.1 and arch linux.  After completely shutting the machine down from linux I found that the battery would be down to around 70% charge after three days unused, and decided to investigate this problem since it was not reasonable for a new battery to lose charge at anything like this rate.
    By chance I came across a piece of information concerning the issue of disabling WOL (Wake on LAN) on the network interface, since I had seen one report that by default WOL is enabled and this requires power to be going to the network interface even when shut down in order to be able to respond to magic packets to start the machine up when it is shut down.
    First I checked the BIOS WOL setting and found it was set to "AC only" by default. So I changed it to disabled. This machine has the latest available BIOS version 1.54.
    However on investigating this after rebooting in linux I found that 
    # cat /sys/class/net/enp3s0/device/power/wakeup
    enabled
    # ethtool enp3s0 | grep Wake-on
    Supports Wake-on: pumbg
    Wake-on: g
    So WOL was still enabled despite it being set to disabled in the BIOS!
    I learned that I can make sure that in arch linux the WOL setting can be changed to set to disabled after bootup by using a udev rule:
    # cat 70-disable_wol.rules
    ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="enp3s0", RUN+="/usr/bin/ethtool -s enp3s0 wol d"
    Then rebooting the machine I checked the WOL setting and it really is disabled now:
    # ethtool enp3s0 | grep Wake-on
    Supports Wake-on: pumbg
    Wake-on: d
    # cat /sys/class/net/enp3s0/device/power/wakeup
    disabled
    So I then ensured that the battery was 100% charged and shut down the machine and left it two and a half days - rebooting this morning the battery was still at 100% charge and no longer discharges unnecessarily when the machine is switched off,  so this is a clear indication of a bug in the BIOS for the WOL setting - it is still enabled despite the BIOS saying it is disabled!
    How do I report this to Lenovo so that they can fix the BIOS and release a new one that is working?
    I am aware of other users with different Thinkpads who seem to have the same problem, so this may be more widespread an issue than just on the S540.  
    It is also not just an issue with the battery running down when fully shut down but will likely also be a problem for a machine in suspend mode since the network interface may be consuming a watt or so of power when in suspend, which will again run the battery down at an unacceptable rate.
    I cannot imagine any use case where it would be necessary to have WOL enabled on a laptop that is mostly going to be used mobile - so having the default setting to AC only enabled, and having a BIOS bug enabling it when it is explicitely disabled is a serious problem.

    Anyone running windows in the same laptop can check the same issue of battery drain due to WOl being enabled by default - in the Device Manager under the network card, opening the settings menu for the ethernet wired card the default for Wake-on-LAN on my computer was set to enabled. This can be changed to disabled, and you may need to also disable the setting for Wake on Magic Packet. Also in the Power Management tab it is possible to uncheck the settings for "Allow this device to wake the computer" and "Only allow a magic packet to wake the computer"
    In my laptop these were all set to enabled by default.

  • I'd heard about a bios bug!

    Hi guys,
    my system running not allways stable!I got some bluescreens of the art "STOP COMMAND"!
    Exactly this three ones:
    IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
    PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA   and
    BAD_CALL_POOLER
    HERE are some information about it,but sorry,it's in german!
    I think that the faults causes maybe in that two ways!
    Once is a Memory error,because I become sometimes error Popups,that adresses can't written or read!
    I use one TwinMos Modul of PC3200,512 Mb!
    At the moment I test it in slot 3 and it seems to be more stable as in slot 1!The time settings seems to be not so important,I can use either 2.5-3-3-6,or 2-3-3-6!Normal is(I'm not sure 2.5-3-3-8)!
    But more important I think is,that the motherboard monitor shows me a core voltage of under 1.5V~1.48v!!!That is also the reason I mean,that I can't overclock my system over 205 MHz frontsidebus stable!In 3D Mark 3 I get instantly by the first test Wings of Fury a totaly blue screen(not the error bluescreen!Much darker and without any message!)
    So I'd heard about a bug in the AMI bios,that you can't  store a new core voltage!Either increase,nor decrease!My settings are on 1.55 Volt!Isn#t that the right voltage for the prozessor and if,why it isn't there a possibility to increase the core voltage for overclocking!But that is a must for a good result!I'm a little bit confused about that!The other possibility is,that my PSU is not strong enough!What for a Voltage is important for the CPU Core?I mean the 3.3V,or?My customer had said that he test the PSU and it's stable!It shall be have 32A,normaly it is enough to hold the voltage correct,but I knew that in china the electric is another as in germany!!!
    Another problem is that I have change my drive from the VIA controller to the promise,because I would first test  the speed and if this controller is able to read the correct monitoring data(Firmware,temperature,UDMA mode...)!The VIA doesn't do that but the promise can!And I use now together my old seagate drive on it.
    Because HDTunenow show me the correct UDMA mode,I'd seen that both drives are not running at their best settings!The samsung run at UDMA5,but can run on 7 and the seagate run on UDMA2,but can  do it on 5!So I would change it,but I have no idea where I can do that!In the hardware manager it isn't a possibility,neither on IDE(there is only the VIA),nor at the SCSI devices!I cannot see any settings therefor at the promise controller!And if I change the settings in bios on RAID(for S-ATA) and go into the RAID Menue with Ctrl+f on bootup,I can see keys for changing values,but their shows no result!And I think if their would working I can't use it,because with the RAID setting the computer will not boot if you don't create an array!
    Has anyone some ideas???
    Thank you very much!

    Thanx man!
    How I write it in my system specifications,I'd try to change the slot and it seems to be better with the RAM in slot 3!
    But,is it my not so good english or why you did not wrote anything about the bios bug I'd heard from!Is it true that it gives a bios version with this bug,that doesn't allow to store another core voltage?Because I think that is the problem!That my core voltage is only at 1.48V,wether I changed it to 1.55V,neither if I do that in bios,nor in bios on auto and do it with core center!
    What is the "normal" processor voltage?1.5 V?And if,why it gives no possibility to increase it higher than 1.55V for overclocking?What for voltage amounts are important for the processor to run stable?Only +3.3V or also the  +5V and +12V amounts?
    But anyway, it seems to be that the +3400  version of the processor is coming at its end of power and isn't so good to be overclocked!Better I'd bought a +3200 one I think!
    But my system is also good without overclocking if I take a look at my 3DMark and Aquamark results!!:worship:
    And my system isn't so old,only 2 month,but the errors comes also in the fresh system at the first days!
    Greetings from good old Germany!

  • T440s fn ctrl swap bios bug

    Hi,
    I think this was documented before, but I am now experiencing the fn ctrl swap bug when going to sleep.
    I have swapped my fn and ctrl keys, and the setting never stays after resuming from deep sleep.
    I have updated my bios to the latest version (2.19) but it has not fixed it.
    Please advise. I do not want to turn off deep sleep.
    Cheers
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thank you for reporting this.  Yes, I can confirm it is BIOS bug.  We had this same issue on T430 generation and fixed it.  But now it seems T440 generation also suffers from this same bug, needs fix.  So I will report this to BIOS team.  Sorry for this inconvenience.

    That problem is a hardware problem. According to informatino from the Lenovo staff posted elsewhere in this discussion forum, the 1.12 bios stops the emergence of this hardware problem.  So it seems like a tragic coincidence that your problem became visible at precisely the same time you flashed the bios. In this case, it was too late.
    BTW I have had the speaker problem fixed a couple of times now and it came back again. I have flashed the new bios and when I send it off to get fixed again, I hope it will be for the last time, now the BIOS fix is in place.

  • Post Code 9A Error, 990FXA-GD80, Bios bug

    After Bios B.40 i got same strange bug, sometimes when i load a oc profile my pc get stuck at 9A error and the only thing that i can do to recovery is use ctrl+home to recovery it, clear cmos is unless.
    After a lot of tests to try understand what was happening i got the answer.
    My CPU is a X3 710 (waiting for bulldozers) so i always use the unlock cpu core feature. I used this x3 with unlocked core for 2 years without any problem, so the locked core is good.
    If i load a oc profile with unlock cpu core feature enabled from a already unlocked stage, everyting is ok, but if my bios seting "unlock cpu core" is disabled and i load a oc profile with it enabled my pc do 6 beeps, restart and get stuck at 9A post code.
    I have sure that in Bios B.30 this wasnt happening.

    Guy, did u see me asking anything about overclock?
    I was talking about a bios BUG that can damage the mainboard, and a lot of ppl cant recovery their bios like i did.
    I posted to help ppl with same issue and alert others to avoid it.
    I informed MSI about it using the right channel.
    Ty for help me bump this topic.

    Hello!
    Overclocking questions go somewhere else.
    If you don't absolutely need to update BIOS to solve a problem, resist the temptation.
    And if you do... Go back to the version that made you smile!  
    We ask people to state the max ampères the PSU can do. There is a list on the PSU box.

  • S10-3T BIOS bug?

    We have purchased four Lenovo S10-3T (product code ********, greek version) and all four have the same problem:
    Out of the box and on first boot, two BIOS issues appear:
    ERROR 271Check Date and Time setting
    WARNING 251 System CMOS checksum bad - Default configuration used
    When you hit F2 to setup, a password is required  - although no password has been set. A blank password doesn't work.
    When you exit the setup (without entering the actual settings due to the password protection) , Windows first time setup continues with installation and creation of user account etc.
    When I retry to enter BIOS Setup, the password prompt always appears.
    Also have a look below at the screenshot.
    Is it a BIOS bug which enables a supervisor password, or maybe a backup battery issue?

  • Bug in version 4.7.25 ?

    I wonder if I might have stumbled upon a compile-time bug in version 4.7.25? I've attempted to install it on a NetBSD/i386 4.0 machine and make failed with:

    I had a look at os_yield.c and noticed dbenv didn't seem to defined anywhere. When I looked at os_yield.c from version 4.6.19 I noticed the first variable it passes to __os_sleep() is named dbenv and it is the name of the first variable passed to __os_yield() which calls __os_sleep(). In version 4.7.25 the name of the first variable passed to __os_yield() is env and it is actually used in the call to __os_sleep() on line 49. So, I changed dbenv on line 61 to env and then make and make install ran successfully.
    Was I just lucky or isn't this a proper solution?

    Thanks,
    I believe that you are correct and that os_yield.c needs correcting which it
    will be.

    Hello,
    You can upgrade the BIOS in Windows 8, no problem, but should you is another matter.
    I've always had a "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" attitude towards BIOS upgrades, however
    I do try to keep my ThinkPads current.
    The BIOS updates are here for your machine, pick the 32 or 64 bit installation, depending
    on your OS.

  • U110 BIOS bug?

    Dear colleagues! Just got my new U110, seen Vista to work well and trying to install Debian Linux (Lenny) in it. When booting to the Linux system, I see in the very beginning this message:
    PCI: BIOS Bug MCFG area at e0000000 is not E820-reserved.
    PCI: Not using MMCONFIG
    PCI: Cannot allocate reseource region 98 of bridge 000000:1c.2
    Further, I have problem with starting X.org using xorg-xserver-video-intel . I am not sure if the problems are related, nor do I know if the first one is serious or not. Would appreciate any suggestions or solutions to either problem.

    Hi Tommy,
    Tried the acpi off switch. Didn't work. In fact I redid the install with the linux acpi=off. However no luck. I switched acpi to no in BIOS too, however, no luck with that either.
    The reboot issue persists with ACPI: unable to locate RSDP showing up.
    Will try the to look for the USB setting in BIOS as per your suggestion and get back to you.

  • Are you aware of a possible bug in version 3.6.23? In the browser, for example, "two/" appears with the slash through the "o". Is this a known bug?

    Are you aware of a possible bug in version 3.6.23? In the browser, for example, "two/" appears with the slash through the "o". Is this a known bug?
    When the same text is view in another browsers it appears correctly as "two/".
    I've checked, and the same problem appears in Firefox on another computer.
    The two answers received so far have not provided an answer: is this a known bug in Firefox?
    Thank you.

    You are on a Mac and that is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerning kerning] problem. Don't you see the same problem in other applications if you choose the same font, font-weight and font-size.
    I only find one other kerning [https://support.mozilla.com/questions/789254 question] here -- it is marked unsolved. I find it strange that Firefox got involved with this at all rather than leaving such things to the operating system and font metrics.
    Does the problem go away with "command+0" (zero) which resets [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages zoom level] to normal. If you mess with the font sizes in your preferences because you want larger print that would have the same effect.
    Also found this one recently reported for [https://support.mozilla.com/questions/892222 Firefox 7 in ubuntu 11.04] which appears much worse. If it involves Firefox and specific operating systems it becomes a lot harder to diagnose who or what is responsible.

  • Does the BIOS 68MSU ROM Version F.0A support Penryn?

    Hello,
    I would like to know if the BIOS 68MSU ROM version F.0A (release date: Nov 05, 2008) will support the Intel Penryn processor. I know for sure this BIOS will supports Merom but does this version also supports the newer Penryn. The Service Manual is of limited used as it was released in mid 2007 which is before the release of Penryn (release date early 2008). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I tried to install windows 7driver while in Windows 8  which it didn't like and locked in error loop, long story short I had to do factory Windows 7 restore install my needed programs then upgrade to Windows 8. I took screen shots of device manager in Windows 7 because there was unknown device that was listed in General Tab Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System that with previous install could not figure what device it was other than ACPI power management and Windows 8 took the Generic Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System driver. This time I compared to the screenshot still could figure out what was missing so I looked at the unknown device driver Details Tab and saw several references to ACPI\HPQ6001. I did a Google search and found that referenced: ACPI\HPQ6001="HP Wireless Button Driver" but the checked the HP website and there is no Windows 8 driver. My apologies if in haste about the Bios update. I can't confirm or prove it is the bios up to this point until HP completes the job because it's still half done. The bios update may as stated by HP "Provides support for the Microsoft Windows 8 wireless button controls" but without the Windows 8 drivers to work in conjunction with the bios fix the bios update is still useless and half complete because the intended problem was not fixed. I'm figured out the problem now it's left to HP to complete and I hope it does not take too long for them to create drivers to fix the problem.
