T410 - Keyboard problems after Windows 8.1 upgrade

Hi to all!
Recently i'm facing huge problems with the keyboard of my T410.
The Laptop shuts down when I press "Alt Gr", if I press shutdown - the screen spins several times before shutting down, if I use the arrow-keys the screen also flips, the normal letter-keys won't work at all. Every pressed Button makes a little beepsound.
The scrolling-funktion on the touchpad doesnt work either.
Using an USB-Keyboard / Mouse, I have no problems at all.
I have installed the latest drivers and bios-update.
This problem is there after I upgraded windows 8 to windows 8.1. All windows-updates have been made.
Do you have any tips to use my Laptop as a laptop again? At the moment I have a small desktop PC as the laptop won't work without usb-keyboard and muse.
I looking forward to your replies. Best regards

I don't no what in-place means but I installed the Upgrade to 8.1 via the Windosw Store on a running Windows8 system.
I just re-ran System Update in the latest version, checked windows updates, checked the drivers via the lenovo support page manually, latest bios...but still doesnt work.
In the Windows 8.1 Tested System List from the lenovo homepage which I just found is the T410 not listed. So I assume it could be a compatibility problem.
Back to Win8?

  • T410 : keyboard problem after juice spill

    Hi,
    I have recently spilled some fruit juice (sweet and sticky) on my t410's keyboard. Here are the problems caused and the different steps I took to try and solve them :
    1. Switched off the laptop, waited a day. Switched it back on. The laptop worked normally except for various keys, mostly in the first row of letters (qwertz...) that didn't work (didn't react when pressed), and others who were sticky and got stuck when pressed.
    2. Took out the keyboard and soaked it in alcohol (normal alcohol as I couldn't find isopropil alcohol) to wash out the juice deposits. Wiped with towels, then let it dry half a day. Put it back in. It was worse than before, the power button seemed to be shorted or sth. The laptop could not be tuned on with the power button. It could be turned on using the fingerprint reader though. But then it had a strage behaviour, kept turning on and off on its own.
    3. Took out the keybord again, removed all the keys, including the power/mute/volume... Sprayed it repeatedly with contact cleaner (Vistony brand, made in Peru) . Then let it dry.This didn't improve much.
    4. Waited over the week end, tried again. Now the power button works. When I turn on the laptop, before it can boot, it beeps repeatedly and shows an error essage : "error 210 stuck key : 10". Using an external USB keyboard, I can press escape, and boot to Windows. But the laptop's keyboard is unreactive and there is a continuous beep (frequency of about 2 beeps per second, continuous). In the Lenovo diagnostix test for the keyboard, none of the keys work.
    Is there anything I can do to try and recover the keyboard ? Or just buy a replacement ? If I could at least get rid of the beep, I could use the laptop at home with the external keyboard, until a solution if found to fix the laptop's keyboard.
    Cheers

    dondrito, welcome to the forum,
    I admire your determination to save your keyboard, but honestly feel it's time to part yourself from it and accept it has sadly departed and find a replacement.
    An option would be to attach the system to a port replicator or mini-dock, which have power on switches, detach the internal keyboard from the mainboard and start the system from the port rep. or mini dock after attaching an external keyboard to either or your notebook. Not a good solution if you need to travel.
    p.s. a port rep. or mini-dock will cost more than a keyboard.

  • Miix 10 - Graphics, sound and general performanc​e problems after Windows 8.1 upgrade

    I upgraded to Windows 8.1 from 8 (tablet Lenovo Miix 10) and I encountered the following problems:
    1. It wasn't possible to install an update of Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver through Windows Update. This update was "available" until I downloaded the new chipset drivers from Lenovo support.
    2. Some times after returning from standby, It displays the message that the graphics card had crashed.
    3. I have encountered several problems in these applications:
    a) Twitter: When I scroll up and down my timeline the flow is not smooth. When I stop the scrolling to see a tweet the display does not stop, but it does a small "jump" in the direction that I was scolling before It returns to the point that I had stopped scrolling.
    b) Fresh Paint: It is impossible to draw something. I cannot describe the problem, but it is exactly what happened also to this guy: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/w​indows8_1-winapps/fresh-paint-81-unusable-and-bloc​...
    c) In Solitaire I encountered the same problems with this guy: http://forums.xbox.com/gfw/xbox_on_windows/l-o/f/3​066/t/1467072.aspx
    3. In general, after the Windows 8.1 update the feeling I get when I use my tablet is that it has become more slow and unresponsive.
    What is the cause of these problems? Will they be solved after the release of new drivers and when?

    Hi
    the GFX issue can be resolved with this post,

    id advise removing any apps you dont require,
    doing a C Drive Clean up, (right click C drive,properties, disk clean up, then system disk clean up.)
    then also doing a Defrag button in tools (it wont Defrag as its SSD, but it will TRIM the disk, (its done weekly by default anyway..)

  • Problems After Windows 8.1 Upgrade

    Hi,
    I am having the same problem as others on this forum.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled all the related software without any positive result. This is annoying.
    Please get this fixed ASAP.

    Hi GerardJ,
    Welcome to the HP forums!
    I understand you've been having some difficulty getting your printer installed after upgrading to Windows 8.1. I'm sorry to hear that, but I will do my best to see if I can help out, I just need a bit more information as to your setup.
    1. Which model HP printer do you have?
    2. How is the printer connected to the PC?
    3. You said you are having the same problem as others, what problem would that be? What is going on that you are uninstalling and reinstalling the printer?
    4. What operating system did you upgrade from? Was everything working on that operating system?
    Have you tried downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor to see what diagnosis it has to offer? If not, please give that a try and let me know the results. If it fails on anything please let me know where.

  • Keyboard problems after 300.21.012 upgrade

    I just upgraded to 300.21.012 on my E71. Now some of the keys on the keyboard do not work - specifically the symbol keys.
    Is there a way to fix this?
    Is there a way to roll back to an earlier version of the software?

    You can try doing a hard reset in this case:
    Turn off your phone. Press and hold down the 3, * and Call (green) keys. Turn on the device, and releae the keys only when you see the region selection screen.
    This process will wipe out everything in the phone memory, so, taking a backup  of your phone memory is advised.
    You cannot roll back to an earlier version of firmware. Only updating is possible.

  • Problems with Twist Before and after Windows 8.1 Upgrade

    I'm not sure if this is a problem on Windows' end or Lenovo's, but here it goes. Problems AFTER Windows 8.1 update:
    1.) When I close the computer, even though the power management settings are set to put the computer to sleep, it only goes to sleep about 50% of the time. If I don't catch it, that means the battery will drain completely while I'm under the impression it's sleeping. The kicker is, even if I do catch it, I can't get the computer to turn back on. The screen stays black until I hold the power button down and force the computer to turn off and restart it.
    2.) iTunes will not open. I don't get any numbered error message, just a message that it failed. I've tried running iTunes in compatibility mode, and I've uninstalled and reinstalled it, to no avail.
    Problems BEFORE:
    1.) When I first got the computer, it was super quiet. Now the fan is pretty loud and buzzy. It seems that it may even be brushing something, because if I push the bottom up ever so gently, the sound goes down by half. Not a huge issue, but especially noticeable when I'm in tablet mode.
    I know that at least the last one isn't a unique problem. I can kind of live with that, but the first two are really driving me nuts.

    I made the mistake of loading W8.1 on my Twist without realizing how raw and bug prone the preview really could be.  The backout would require reloading a lot of applications, and this is not my primary PC, so I am toughing it out.  Saw updates load.  Current build is 9431.
    I am currently uninstalling software and updates until I get a stable environment again.  Here is some general feedback...
    I have not had an issue with the Lenovo System Update running.  I suggest you do ONE update at a time.
    50% of the shutdown/reboots fail and I need to hard power off with the power button
    Manually loading the latest Intel video driver software caused MAJOR problems.  Many programs simply did not run and everything was locking up.  Backing that out motivated me to remove other stuff.  The Lenovo System Update is offering to install a driver which I will attempt after all other firmware and drivers are updated.
    I use the Classic Shell v3.6.8 on the desktop.  I thought the 8.1 would return the start button, but I assume that Classic Shell is overriding that.
    Like others, I have had trouble getting the Juniper VPN software to load and work.  Trying to back everything out, but the virtual juniper nic is still showing up in the device manager.
    I am usually a reader of discussion forums and not a poster.  I will do my best to post my resolutions as well as issues.

    Welcome to the HP Forums  MillaMagia,
    I see by your post that the USB isn't being recognized.
    I can help you with this issue.
    Are you using the same USB cable? (known good USB cable)
    You want to use the normal USB slot 2.0 cable and not the latest USB 3.0.
    USB 3.0 are supposed to be backwards compatible.
    Try another USB port on the Laptop, some of the USB ports are more powered then others.
    I have provided a document to see if the printer is partially recognized in the device manager, which is causing the printer not to be recognized again. (the uninstall from the CD should have removed the entry and the printer from the registry)
    Leave the printer turned on and the USB cable connected directly to the computer and the printer's power cord directly into a wall outlet.
    How do I get into Windows Device Manager?
    Here is a document for Identifying problems in Windows Device Manager.
    Check to see if there are any hardware driver conflicts, you might see a ! mark or a red x beside a device with a conflict or unknown device, look under universal serial bus controllers, look for USB printing support or mass storage device, delete the entry by right clicking and select uninstall, OK.
    Let me know how it was listed. (screen shots welcome)
    If this is a Laptop then check the power management settings.
    Access the device manager. Windows 8-How do I access the Device Manager.
    Select universal serial bus controllers from the list, for each USB root hub, right click and left click on properties, for power management remove the check mark for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". It allows the computer to limit or turn off power for this device.
    Disconnect the USB, run the full uninstall and reinstall the printer software again.
    If you need further assistance, let me know.
    Have a nice day!

  • Migrated User Account Keyboard Problem AFTER Login

    I have a brand-new MacBookPro (with multi-touch trackpad) that came with Leopard preinstalled. When I first started up the new computer, I set up a new administrator user account first. Then I used Migration Assistant to migrate my primary user account from my PowerBook G4, which is running the latest version of Tiger. I can log into my old user account with the same password I have always used, and everything looks fine--my old desktop is there, my Mail, iCal and iTunes settings all look great, etc.--but I can't use the keyboard. I can use the mouse to click on menus; the keys for the volume and backlight controls work, and some of the keys on the right side of the keyboard work (which seems particularly weird), but I can't do anything else with the keyboard. When I log out of the account and try to go back to the new admin account, the keyboard no longer works at all until I reboot. If I go directly into the new admin account, the keyboard is fine; it only starts locking up AFTER I log into my old user account. I have not had any keyboard problems with any other user accounts that I have created from scratch on the MacBookPro, nor have I had problems with the other user accounts I migrated from the PowerBook. After consulting with an Apple rep on the phone, I have tried the following things:
    1. deleting my migrated keychain file on the problem user account and letting it make a new login keychain;
    2. deleting the original default keychain on the PowerBook and re-running the Migration Assistant;
    3. deleting the problem user on the MacBookPro using the option of creating a disk image, and then creating an empty file in the Users folder with the same name as the problem user account and then dragging the files from the disk image into the folder, and then creating a new version of the user account with the same name, password, etc.;
    4. running Disk Utility to fix permissions (multiple times);
    5. I have completely erased and reinstalled the system on the MacBookPro using the install DVDs twice. The first time, I ran Migration Assistant immediately after the "Welcome," and the second time I set up a new administrator account first and then ran Migration Assistant.
    6. I have also tried the steps outlined in this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306840.
    7. I have tried moving my user files over by hand but then I have a ton of permission problems and I was having trouble getting my Mail settings/mailboxes to move over properly. I've spent hours and hours on this.
    I have NEVER had so much trouble upgrading to a new computer or a new OS in all the years I've owned Macs! What am I missing???

    Well...I'm not sure which of the following fixed my problem, but once I realized it was something to do with the numeric keypad keys, I went into both the Keyboard & Mouse preferences and the Universal Access preferences and I made sure that I set everything back to the default settings. I suspect that going to Keyboard&Mouse-->Keyboard Shortcuts and clicking on "Restore Defaults" is what did the trick. So far, so good. I hope this helps somebody else; I couldn't find anything else anywhere about this somewhat quirky problem.

  • Unable to start after Windows 7 Pro upgrade, am I crazy?

    I'm now on my fourth try and I'm about to lose my patience.
    I purchased a T400 6475-B14 with Vista, 32 bit.  I purchased a copy of Windows 7 Professional upgrade.  I am installing the 64 bit disc.  Currently the machine has 2GB of ram, but I ordered 4GB (2X2GB) of RAM from Lenovo and it should be here in a few days.  Additionally, since the machine is still under warranty Lenovo is sending me the restore discs (I think that's what they are called) and they should be here in a few days as well.
    On my three previous attempts I upgrade the OS and everything seems to be fine.  However when I go to the Lenovo site it can't detect my system.  That seems a bit odd, but I can deal with it.  I put in all of the machine info and download the Toolbox.  Once I did that tells me to download the System Updater, but for some reason it forwards me to the link for Vista/XP.  I then manually find the System Updater, Win 7 64 bit, download and install it and it finds and installs the PowerManager, Connections, Recovery and Repair, etc.
    I don't seem to have any problems until I shut down the machine.  When I go to restart, the machine hangs at the 4 color Microsoft logo.  After a few minutes (5-10) it gives me the option to try and restore to a previous point and fix the machine.  However each time it tells me that the system is unable to repair itself.  I then reboot and hit the F11 button at the THINKPAD screen and restore to a previous version. 
    Last night, after the two previous restorations failed to give me a stable machine I completely reinstalled the OS.  Everything seemed to be working fine again.  However this time I rebooted after each update, to see where the problem might be.
    I had downloaded all of the System updater info except for the R & R and C++.  I installed C++, but it didn't require a restart.  I think installed the R & R, installed it and then machine rebooted.
    Then the same thing happened again!!!!!!!!
    I went into the diagnostics and it came the the following:
    Root Cause Found:
    A recent driver installation or upgrade may be preventing the system from starting.
    Repair Action: System Restore
    Result: Failed.  Error code = 0x1f
    Repair action: System filed integrity check and repair
    Result: Failed.  Error code = 0x490
    Time taken = 945178ms
    I'm going to re-install Windows 7 again, but this is starting to really drive me crazy (granted it's a short road, but still!).
    Can anyone help me understand what I'm doing wrong?  I'm not trying to do anything crazy and I'm following the instructions to the letter but I still can't seem to get my system to work!!!!!! 
    Any/all help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,

    Hi,
    You are doing (trying to do) exactly what I did when I punted Vista (good riddance!) and updated to Win 7 Pro 64 on my T400.  I don't see anything obvious that you are doing wrong.  Here's what I did:
    Installed Win 7 upgrade as a clean install. Then ran Windows update.  Then installed ThinkVantage System Update for Win 7, and let it do its thing,  No problems.
    Is that the updater you installed?

  • Problems After Win 8.1 Upgrade - Two Additional Partitions Both With Same Volume Serial Number?

    An update from Win 8 Pro to Win 8.1 Pro has occurred automatically on one of my machines.
    Prior to the upgrade (from memory) the machine had an OEM Partition (40MB), EFI System Partition (500MB), Recovery Partition (8.17GB) and OS (C:) partition. Only the latter was visible in Computer.
    After the 8.1 upgrade there are two additional partitions, Recovery (500MB) and Recovery (450MB). All the partitions are now displayed in This PC as drives except the 40MB OEM Partition.
    When viewed in This PC both the two new drives (that appear to equate to the new partitions) show as 499MB each with the same amount of free space. In Disk Management the first new partition is shown as 500MB and the second as 450MB.
    I have SugarSync installed on this machine and since the upgrade it is displaying an error telling me it won't work because the two new drives have the same Volume Serial Numbers.
    Clearly something has gone wrong with the upgrade:
    Is there any way to resolve the Volume Serial Number conflict? 
    Is there any way to stop all these drives appearing in This PC?
    Do I need the two new partitions and if not how can I get rid of them?

    There is a fourth path to upgrading to Windows 8.1 provided by Microsoft. Microsoft have been displaying automated reminders from time to time on Windows 8 computers that Windows 8.1 update is available to download - from these reminders it is possible to
    choose either Install or Not Now.  Just recently these reminders have changed, they are instead notifying the user that the Windows 8.1 Update will be installed automatically or the user has options to postpone the installation for 1hr, 2hrs, etc. The
    user of this computer tells me she went away from the machine and Windows 8.1 update installed automatically from one of these prompts.
    I have seen these installation prompts on several of my customer's computers and they are not malware related (I deal with malware removal every day and would recognise this). However, I have scanned this computer with Bit Defender and MalwareBytes and there
    are no infections present.
    The only difference between this Windows 8.1 Update and the others that I have carried out is that it wasn't controlled and therefore I wasn't able to disable the security software (Bit Defender Internet Security 2015). This may be the cause of the problem.
    I've uploaded the two screenshots you asked for - the two new drives are W: and Z: and SugarSync is reporting that they have the same Volume Serial Numbers. Note: X: and Y: were not visible prior to the upgrade.
    There are two Windows Update logs at C:\Windows\ so I will upload both.

  • System won't turn off, restart, hibernate or sleep after Windows 8.1 upgrade

    Help, please!!
    Two days ago in windows 8 store popped up an update to windows 8.1 for my pc. I am an owner of two notebook PC-s, both Lenovo, G580(which upgraded successfully without any issues, also it has intel inside) and G585(which upgraded without any issues, untill
    the set up completed and it booted up, it has AMD)
    So the AMD one, Lenovo G585, refuses to shut down, restart, sleep or hibernate, the only way to shut it down is to force it to turn off, meaning i have to press the power button for a couple of seconds. Along with other issues this is the only one i wasn't
    able to resolve. I have contacted my Lenovo support and they said there is nothing they can do and that i can only wait for an update... and in the meantime am i supposed to let this windows 8.1 upgrade
    mess up my new notebook?
    Ok, so i was stupid enough not to run windows 8 backup before i started this update, silly me, thinking what could go wrong, it's not like M$ described this upgrade as something like evolution of the century,
    but enough about that, i have tried every possible solution, updated my drivers, run admin cmd and typed powercfg -devicequery wake_armed - it displayed NONE, typed powercfg -lastwake - it displayed wake history count - 0, i tried entering BIOS and checking
    if there is anything in there i could possibly change, found nothing, tried disabling hibernate, still nothing, and each time i try putting my pc in one of those states the screen turns off, and it all seems like the pc will any moment and yet nothing it just
    stays on for countless hours unless i once again force it to shut down, also when in sleep mode no keys work for waking it up, mouse and keyboard are meaningless, the only button that works is the power button which turns it off completely and then i can turn
    it on all the way from the begining, so far at least that makes me happy, but continuing like this i will mess up my PC.
    PC specs:
    OS - Windows 8.1 x64, came preinstalled Windows 8 x64
    Processor: AMD E-300 APU with Radeon HD Graphics 1.30GHz
    RAM: 4GB
    Microsoft, any solutions to this one? 

    Last week I put a new hard drive in and loaded Windows 8 instead of Windows 7 (which I was previously using), it is a legit copy I had purchased and downloaded from Microsoft when Windows 8 first came out.  I had problems with activation, called Microsoft
    and they remotely connected fixing the problem.  Sleep Mode worked until it did the 8.1 upgrade.Now the System will not turn off, Sleep or Hibernate.  If I go to Sleep or Hibernate, the monitor turns off, hard drive turns off, but the fans are still
    running.  Try to wake up with mouse and nothing happens, have to hit the restart button.  If I try to shut down, it does the same thing, I can only shut down by holding the button.  I have tried everything suggested here, nothing has worked. 
    I would reload, but don't want to have to go through the problem of activating again.  The system32>sfc /scannow found nothing wrong, network adapter is not allowed to wake the computer, sharing turned off, and disabled the hybrid-shutdown-feature. 
    Computer has been scanned and re-scanned, not infections.  Video driver was re-installed.  I have checked all settings in BIOS.
    I was hoping that someone has found a solution to this problem.
