T420S-- USB recovery doesn't work

Just create a USB recovery disk via ThinkVantage. It takes about 10GB( I used a 16GB USB disk). However, when I try to use it to boot the laptop, it shows " Error loading operation system". Unfortuanlly, I only can create this disk one time via ThinkVantage software. Now if my HDD is gone, I do not have any way to have it work again. Anybody have same issue? please help. Thank you. -- Viki

[SOLVED] External USB mouse doesn't work

I've installed Arch on my laptop and today faced with a problem. When I boot with AC off my external USB mouse doesn't work. Also it looks like USB ports don't work. If I detached AC when working mouse works fine.
I can suppose there is some problem with laptop mode. May be it turns off usb ports to save energy. Anyway quick search doesn't brings any results. If someone give me a hint how to solve this problem I'll be very grateful.

Well, after diving into configs solution has been founded. The point was to disable auto suspend feature in laptop-mode-tools config by setting BATT_SUSPEND_USB variable to 0 in /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/usb-autosuspend.conf
Hope this information will be helpful for users who probably faced with the same problem. Thank you!

I updated to 10.4.7 and now my left USB port doesn't work

Hi all,
I ran Software Update just a second ago, installing an update to MacOS (PowerPC), ITunes, and QuickTime. After the install and the restart, my left USB port is no longer working. It was working immediately before the install.
I have verified that the peripheral that was not working in the left port works just fine in the right one. I have also confirmed that a peripheral that was working previously in the right USB port doesn't work when attached to the left one.
Therefor, I am led to believe that the problem lies in the left USB port. The only thing that has changed is the updater which ran moments ago, and again, the left USB port was working just fine prior to the install.
Has anybody else experienced this problem and knows of a fix/patch/anything I can do?

Windows Server 2008 - Now F11 Recovery doesn't work

Greetings all--
I decided to experiment with my TouchSmart 504 and installed Windows Server 2008 (32 bit). However, since 2008 doesn't seem to like the onboard NIC, I wanted to go back to Vista 64, but now the F11 option to go into system recovery doesn't work. No matter how many times I press it, it just goes back into W2K8. Being something less than smart, I didn't make any recovery disks (couldn't find where to do so). I've ordered the recovery media, but is there anything I can do in the meantime?
Thanks in advance.

You did the right thing - use recovery discs. To see if the recovery data is still on the HD, go in and see if you still have the recovery partition on the hard drive.

After the OS X Lion installation, my USB modem doesn't work. I already updated the USB drivers, but nothing happened. Any suggestion?

You might want to do a search here on the forums re. usb modems - I've seen several threads and the opinion appears to be that faxing is no longer supported (especially since the "Fax" is now missing from the Print Preference Pane in System Preferences). I am faxing with an all-in-one printer which is connected to a landline, but I have to use the printer's control panel - can't use it from the iMac.

Option System recovery doesn't work

Notebook Lenovo G50-30 (80G0) - bought a month ago. (Windows 8.1)
Few days ago sound stopped work suddenly. I suspect that this is associated with MS Updates, which was set as automatic. I suspect because this notebook is not my. But now I have it for repair. I noticed that system work abnormally, when I try to use some function from control panel it doesn't work and control panel stop responding. For example update settings.
I decided restore system to factory setting, using NOVO key and option System Recovery. Unfortunately when I choose this option nothing happens and computer loading operating system as usually. I try use software OneKeyRecovery and after it sytuation is the same.
Important information is that system partition C was divided into two parts/partitions. And it was my first clue that something is wrong with ID partitions, but maybe i'm wrong. I change it and set one C volume.
Diskpart shows 5 volumes (0-4), the last one is the recovery partition like below:
On computer: LENOVO-G50
Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info
Volume 0 E DVD-ROM 0 B No Media
Volume 1 C Windows8_OS NTFS Partition 450 GB Healthy Boot
Volume 2 WINRE_DRV NTFS Partition 1000 MB Healthy Hidden
Volume 3 SYSTEM_DRV FAT32 Partition 260 MB Healthy System
Volume 4 PBR_DRV NTFS Partition 13 GB Healthy Hidden

Can someone help me? How can I restore factory settings?

hi mehowg,
Can you try to create a recovery drive and use it to Refresh or Reset Windows 8/8.1.
If that doesn't work, you can try the folliwing to reinstall the OS:
1. Check this guide on how to obtain a Windows 8.1 ISO (see Option One)
2. After you set Boot Mode to UEFI in the BIOS, follow this guide to make a bootable UEFI Win8.1 installer via DVD/USB flashdrive and use it to install Windows 8.1 on the G50-30 (the installation should be able to detect the Windows 8.1 product key in the UEFI firmware that will let you activate Windows).
Note:
The above method (Steps 1-2) will only re-install Windows (you will need to reinstal the drivers manually from the G50-30 drivers page)
Let me know how it goes.

MacBook Pro closest to the screen USB port doesn't work

Hey there!
I have a mid-2010 MacBook Pro 6,2 (15" 2,66 GHz i7 4GB RAM) which is in perfect conditions. I use it everyday to study and play the X-Plane simulator, basically, so it has never fallen nor taken any damage. Last week, all of the sudden, the USB port located closest to the screen stopped working. I've spent several hours trying to figure out what the problem is (tried the SMC and NVRAM reset more than once) but all I got was this log from USB Prober:
Feb 12 21:46:26.196 [2]
BRCM2070 Hub[0xffffff800bcc0c00]::DeviceRequest _DeviceRequestWithTimeout runAction() failed (0xe00002ed)
Feb 12 21:46:26.197 [3]
IOUSBDeviceUserClientV2[0xffffff80151f7200]::DeviceRequestIn (sync < 4k) err:0xe00002ed (device is not responding)
Feb 12 21:46:26.197 [3]
IOUSBDeviceUserClientV2[0xffffff80151f7200]::DeviceRequestIn < 4K to 0xffffff800bcc0c00 - returning err e00002ed, size: 0
I imagine that the problem is in the BRCM2070 Hub, as it's status in the "Port Status" section is "STATUS(change): CONNECT ENABLE SUSPEND POWER Full Speed" and "Port Power State: Suspended (Driver)", while my other USB port which is working okay is "STATUS(change): POWER Full Speed" and "Port Power State: No connection". If I connect anything to the problematic USB Port the status won't change, while, if connected to the okay one, it will show what's connected instead of saying "No Connection" (e.g. iPhone). The only thing that gives a sign of life when connected to the problematic one is my Samsung External 500GB HD, but it simply lights up, doesn't mount nor is recognised. After a minute it turns off while still connected. I don't know how to proceed as I don't have any Apple Stores near me.
Is there anyway to work this problem out or I should just wait until the end of this year to go to the US and take my machine to a Genius? This problem is really annoying me, as I frequently use one of the ports to charge my iPhone and the other one to connect my mouse. I'm thinking about buying an USB hub to bypass the problem, but it would kill my MBP's portability.

I solved my issue and I believe it was router related. I have a router through Verizon and their Fios service. My router was old so I caled for a replacement. when I received thereplacement I switched it the router to only accept 802.11n and this did the trick. Problem solved, stupid router.

[SOLVED]mounting cdrom and usb devices doesn't work

Hello,
i have trouble mounting my usb devices. automount doesn't work and i can't mount them manually even as a superuser. here's the output of mount command:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
i can mount cdrom manually but i can't do the same for my usb stick and external hard drives. it always complains about the above regardless of the filesystem. my devices are working under windows and other linuxes so i know hardware is not the problem.
i'm using lxde with pcmanfm.
if you need any other files just ask.
thanks

above was the error when i tried to mount any usb device with "mount -t <type> /dev/sdc /media/mountpoint". and i couldn't mount any usb device as root from console. when i tried to mount devices using pcmanfm it just popped some empty dialogs and i couldn't find any mention of "IsCallerPriviliged failed" error so i (wrongly) presumed it wasn't that. i did try some of the other fixes mentioned in the forum with no success. but adding exec ck-launch-session startkde to my .xinitrc fixed the issue
thanks again

T420 USB Ports do not work after installing XP

Hello my office has been using Lenovo's for some time now but we recently purchased a T420 and installed Windows XP SP3 on it. The issue we are having is that the uSB ports do not work. I have tried every driver I can find but still no luck, can anyone help?

hey chris0277,
could you check in Device Manager and see if there is any ? or ! symbol on the USB area.
If there is, i do recommend uninstalling the drivers from it and then visit http://support.lenovo.com and update your unit

Remote/USB debug doesn't work for me in iOS

I'm trying to debug my app in the iPad, but whenever I use the ipa-debug or ipa-debug-interpreter targets, the app just plain doesn't work. It gets stuck in the first screen and nothing happens, no matter if I use -connect "my-ip" (remote debugging) or if I use -listen myPort (USB debugging). The app just doesn't work.
If I use ipa-test-interpreter or ipa-ad-hoc, then it does work, but of course I can't debug. This happens in AIR 3.6 and also previous versions as well.
My command line:
"c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS6\AIR3.6\bin\adt.bat" -package -target ipa-debug-interpreter -connect "192.168.1.11" -provisioning-profile ..\cert\ios\iPad2_01.mobileprovision -storetype pkcs12 -keystore ..\cert\ios\ios_dev.p12 -storepass MyPassword MyApp.ipa MyApp-app.xml -C . MyApp_ios.swf icons\MyApp_icon.png Default-Landscape.png -extdir ..\ane
Did someone experience the same?

Can you please report a bug for the same @bugbase.adobe.com with a sample app(source code ,swf, app-xml and assets/ane) with which bug can be reproduced?
Also you can provide me the sample app(source code ,swf, app-xml and assets/ane) @[email protected] so that I can give it a try.
Please share the bug number here.

USB mic doesn't work on MBP?

After reading a ton of threads here on the audio-in issue (the MacBook Pro doesn't accept a mic-level input, only a line-level input) I came to the conclusion I would need either a pre-amp or a USB mic. I chose the latter, thinking it's better to have just 2 pieces of equipment (the laptop and the mic) rather than 3 (laptop, mic, pre-amp). I bought a Nady USB 24M only to find out it's not recording audio either.
So I'm not sure if:
A) the mic doesn't work
B) the line-in input on the laptop doesn't work
C) I have a setting off somewhere
or
D) I misunderstood that a USB mic would work with a laptop
The mic's promotional materials say it "connects directly to any computer with a USB 2.0 input port for easy plug-and-play operation." That's really what I need "easy plug-and-play operation."
I'm trying to record audio in Quicktime using "New Audio Recording." In QT preferences, I've tried both "Built-In Input: Line In" and "C-Media USB Headphone Set." I've tried plugging a mic with phantom power into the line-in (to no avail) and I've tried the USB mic (again nothing). Am I doing something wrong?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
- Mark

I have a 2.4 gHz MacBook Pro and use an Altec Lansing AHS302usb mic for external mic input during online gaming. It is actually a USB 2.0 mic and headphone combination that works in Windows XP via BootCamp and also in Mac OS X. I have successfully used this mic in BootCamp (Windows XP) for gaming in Battlefield 2142. Works fine - no problems at all. Windows and Mac OS both auto configure to use this external mic and headphones automatically when the USB connector is plugged in.

MS-6702 (K8t neo) Flashed but now nothing, bios recovery doesn't work!!

I updated my bios to the latest one a few weeks back and have been having problems with setting my apeture size to 256 (Noticed a few other people have too here!)
So I reverted the bios back to the one before which I never had any problems with and now my board appears dead
I get no post screen and the optical drives all constantly seek for some strange reason, I've since unattached everything apart from my agp card, ram, processor and floppy drive in a bid to get bios recovery to work. Sadly it doesn't even try to read the floppy and just sits there feeling sorry for itself.
The LED bracket stays at 4 red lights but nothing else happens. I've had this rig for over 5 months so I know it's not the components before anyone suggests it.
This is doing my head in, thanks MSI firstly for releasing a buggy bios and secondly for killing my board
PLEASE HELP

Have you tried clearing CMOS?
If that doesn't work your board is probably beyond recall. You have two choices:
1. Try to RMA it to MSI or your vendor.
2. Replace the BIOS chip
I have used (2) on several occasions with other vendor's systems. This works if the chip is socketed. I use BIOSFLASH.COM (http://biosflash.com/) - you have to ID your chip, tell them what you have, pay some money and e-mail them a copy of the binary you want programmed. They have a well-documented procedure on their website.
I would recommend getting at least two chips - one known good and one with the latest BIOS. That way you can recover from another problem like this one.
Looking at the example K8T Neo2 ATX board on MSI's site the BIOS is socketed but that may not be true of yours. I have a K8MM-ILSR with a soldered BIOS here, so not all their BIOS chips are socketed.
BTW, which method of flashing did you use? From DOS, I hope...running a BIOS flash from Windows is a recipe for disaster (that's why I know about BIOSFLASH.COM)
