T410 AC Power On Feature

I am looking for some assistance in getting this feature up and running.  I have flashed 5 T410s to the newest 1.49 BIOS so they have the AC POWER ON feature in the BIOS and enabled the setting.  However they are not powering on when the AC is turned on.  It sporadically works when I monkey with the devices, but it is not consistent or showing a pattern for me to figure it out.  We are trying to mount them in Enovate mobile carts and wish to remove the battery as the carts have batteries in them to make them mobile and we do not want to waste the laptop battery.  The cart has a separate power button for the cart and one that connects to the dock port on the bottom that can turn the unit on and off.  We really want to have one power button that turn everything off and on to not confuse the end users however in order to do so we need the AC enabled to be working.    Anyone else have any similar issues with the AC Enabled setting for the T410s?

Hi, AdvocateAndrew
I just did some tests on an L412 to better understand this issue and I discovered something: The machine would boot on as intended every time it received power, but would lose this functionality once the battery was removed, after which the BIOS setting had to be redone before it would work again. So, at least during my tests, the battery had to be in the system and could not be removed. Perhaps this applies to your system as well. I fully understand wanting to preserve the battery, but it may not be possible. I think that having the battery in the computer gives the system enough power to recognize that the AC adapter has been plugged in. 
Hope it helps,
Adam

  • How to handle power managment features of Windows Vista

    Hi guys
    I searched a little bit in the Toshiba Technical Knowledge Base and found very interesting article about the power management features of Windows Vista.
    *[How to handle power management features of Windows Vista|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD84026Q0000R01.htm]*
    The point is that you will not find a same Toshiba Power Saver tool on Vista like on the Windows XP notebooks and the power saver settings are a little bit hidden in the Vista Power Saver settings.
    But you can also control the certain options like Cooling Method or Power Saving Mode.
    I think this document could be interesting for some here in the forum!
    Greetings to all!

    Hi Jayjay
    Thanks for posting this here in the forum.
    Several days ago I searched for such further power option in Vista.
    This document was really, really helpful for me.
    Thanks again

  • Will I be able to use the power nap feature on my MBP 13inch 2012?

    I have a MBP 13 inch that i just bought in mid january and I can't find the power nap feature on the energy saving options. I have read some posts saying I might not be able to use it and some others saying that i will need an update for the firmwire (or something like that, sorry i'm not a computer expert). Is there anyone who can actually tell me if i'm actually going to be able to power nap?
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    It's supported in Mid 2011 or Mid 2012 MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with Retina, so you can't

  • Idle power management features on processor disabled due to a firmware problem - after BIOS update

    Hi,
       I did a BIOS upgrade on my E20 - 4220-CTO to 5JKT55A and I started seeing these messages in my System Event log ->
    "Idle power management features on processor 0 in group 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated firmware."
    "Idle power management features on processor 1 in group 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated firmware."
    "Idle power management features on processor 2 in group 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated firmware."
    "Idle power management features on processor 3 in group 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated firmware."
    The messages occur on each reboot.
    I upgraded to the latest bios 5JKT56A and I get the same messages.
    I was not getting these error messages on BIOS level 5JKT47A(ship from lenovo with this level).
    I updated my BIOS as it was suggested on the lenovo site before doing the win7 SP1 update. Note - I got the error before and after the SP1 update so it's not related to SP1.
    I have not see any additional issues, just the messages in the event log on each boot.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in Advance!

    5JKT58A is the current E20 BIOS.   have you tried it yet?

  • Printer power saving features activates and deactivates at random

    I have a C8022A all in one 8500 printer which has a built in Power saving feature that is supposed to put the print6er in sleep mode after sevaral minutes of non use and turn on printer when a new print job is sent to it.Duringg the first 4-5 months of use it did that - now it seems sometime to go into sleep mode 4 hours after it stopped being used and coming on at random 2-4 hours later for no apparent reason - talked to 2 techs in India with HP chat support but it was useless, and could not get through to live 800 support - tried 5-6 times.!

    Richard,
    Open Energy Saver preferences. While there, unplug the power connector from the MBP? Does the display dim a little bit? If not, toggle the Optimization to one of the other settings then back to Normal like you want. Did the display dim? Now plug the power back in. Did it work as expected?
    As for the keyboard, if you want it to remain off in low light conditions, uncheck the Illuminuate keyboard in low light conditions option. You could look at the keyboard brightness keys as setting a max brightness. The keyboard brightness will still fluctuate based on the light level in the room but will only get as bright as the setting you put in.
    Did I make that clear as mud?

  • Is there going to be a firmware upgrade for mountain lion customers that have a Macbook with a soild state drive so we can use the Power Nap feature?

    Is there going to be a firmware upgrade for mountain lion customers that have a Macbook with a soild state drive so we can use the Power Nap feature?

    here: http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/
    "Power Nap requires a Mac notebook with built-in flash storage. May require a firmware update."
    We have to wait for the Firmware-Updates. Some are already here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5394
    And I am shure, that you will need for Power Nap one of the newer Macs with SSD from 2011 and 2012.

  • Does Excel 2011 Come with Power BI Features?

    Hello, 
    I have an Office 365 ProPlus subscription and have downloaded and installed a copy of Office for Mac 2011 on my Macbook. Does the Mac version of Excel have the same Power BI features as the Windows Excel 2013 version (i.e. Power Query, Power Map, PowerPivot,
    and PowerView)? If so, how do I activate them? If not, are there alternatives?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    No. 
    Excel 2013 includes Power Pivot and Power View built into it. 
    There is an iPad app for Power BI that you can access. The Power BI preview should be accessible on a Mac.

  • MSI X79A-GD45 8D overclocking 3930k question about Power Saving Features

    hi guys
    i could do the oc for my 3930k.Now i am on 4.3ghz.Here are the settings i made ;
    i didnt change the cpu multiplier left it on auto.
    EIST and Turbo features are on.I just change the multpliers of the core limits for every core.I made core limit 43 for all cores.
    Also i set the vcore offset feature to %12.5 and it made the voltage under load 1.280 which can hold system stable @ 4.3ghz.
    when cpu is idle multiplier and voltage decreasing and when the cpu is under load voltages and multipliers increase.
    thats what i want.  But;
    i tested the vcore offset as %100 the auto voltage under load increases to max 1.344.If i go for 4.8ghz probably i would need more than 1.344 on this situation what will happen?because i will need more than 1.344 but the auto voltage will give me just 1.344.How can we arrange this?
    then i tried to enter voltage manually but the voltage didnt decrease even all the power saving features on.I haven't change any settings  i mentioned above for the 4.3ghz oc.I just changed the vcore voltage to manuel. Everything stayed the same like decreasing multiplier under idle and increasing multipliers under load except the voltage.It stayed the same as i gave in the bios.
    from here
    I read from somewhere that on msi boards if you put the cpu multipler manually you loose power saving features.Everytime under load or idle cpu will be stay at the same ghz.Is that true?
    if i give the cpu multiplier manuel or vcore voltage can i benefit from the power saving features like  decreasing voltages and multiplier under idle and  and incresing them under load ?
    or when i enter the cpu multiplier and voltage manually ,does the power saving features go away?

    VDroop set to 100% is all you are going to get. 1.344v's should get you about 44-46X on the cores on 'Auto'. The voltage goes down from there with the lower VDroop settings. With CPU V. set to 'Auto', you get power saving, soon as the CPU V. is taken out of 'Auto', you lose it. No, the CPU speed may lower, but the voltage going to it will not.
    VDroop is not a true offset feature like can be found on other brands of boards. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162779.0
    Most folks around the industry recognize 1.350v's as the recommended limit for socket 2011 CPU's, so 1.344v's is fairly close to that anyway.
    So when i set the voltage and the cpu multiplier i loose power saving features right?
    Thanks for the reply

  • Power Manager features and other problems associated with the T510

    For the better part of 5 years I've been a happy user of a IBM Z60m and decided it was time to pass my z60 off to my son and buy a new T510.  Well I after several weeks of ownership I can honestly say I'm irritated and frustrated by several ongoing issues and am ready to send the whole unit back.  
    From the time I pulled it out of the box I'm been having power management issues.  I've been on Microsoft's help forums, called lenovo support, and spent countless hours on blogs and forums looking for assistance.   No matter what I do in the lenovo power setting arrangements my computer aways goes in stanby after a minute of nonuse and then asks me for my windows password.  So after an entire day of inserting my password my frustration level is off the chart.  I removed the password in the user settings that didn't help.  I changed the global settings to turn off password in stanby mode that didn't help.  I've changed the power choice feature to optimize and others but none of that helped.  
    Beyond those problems... I inserting two different disks to insert new programs and my system kept telling me it couldn't read either.  I first thought they were scratch but my old ibm laptop read each without a problem.  
    So there you have it.  
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Are you sure the system is going into standby after 1 minute?  Or is the screen being locked? 
    Try this:
    1.  right-click on desktop and choose "personalize"
    2.  click on "screen saver" in the lower right corner
    3.  uncheck the box that says "On resume, display logon screen"
    Does that fix your issue?

  • Resetting Phone with No Power Button and iPhone Not Backed Up Message Blocking the Slide to Power Off Feature

    I've learned how to reset the phone after an iPhone Not Backed Up message cannot be clicked off of, but my Power button is not working and I've been using the greyed out screen button to lock the screen and power off. Now it is not working to turn the phone off for a reset because the iPhone Not Backed Up message is in the way of sliding the power off feature on the screen. Do I have any options?

    Try a reset:

  • T410s Fingerprint power-on option doesn't work

    I have selected "Use fingerprint scan instead of power-on button", so when I scan my finger I shall be able to turn on my computer and login to windows.. and it worked well until I had a replacement of the plastic panel where fingerprint reader is located.
    Eversince then, green light is not on unless I was asked to login to something, (v.s. the gree light will be constantly on even if power-off).  I still can scan fingerprint and log onto everything if asked though.
    I tried to reinstall the newest driver and made sure the "Use fingerprint scan instead of power-on button" is checked, but still no luck. Can someone pls help? Thanks.

    I have a similar problem. Only after palmrest replacement, the fingerprint reader is useless, I cannot log on to windows using the stored fingerprints from before the palmrest replacement or record new ones. I deleted all saved fingerprints, reset fingerprint data in software and BIOS, re-installed latest fingerprint software - no effect. The green LED is on, when I try to record a new fingerprints, then there is some time delay on the red LED blinks and message on the screen tells me that the quality of this scan was not sufficient. After many trials I gave up. The reader reacts quite slowly turning from green to red - maybe a driver issue? Otherwise I´ll need to get service again..This sucks (see below  :-(
    This was my third palm rest replacement (first a crack next to the touchpad, replaced two times against a palmrest with dysfunctional touchpad) and now a dysfunctional fingerprint reader. I know, this is not a critical part of the laptop, but I am deeply disappointed choosing a Lenovo machine. ThinkPads had such a good reputation and they are (at least in Europe) very expensive.
