T430s Drive bay does not stick

Hi!
I'm very happy with the 2nd bay that replaced a rather useless CD/DVD combo with a much more needed SSD storage extension. 
So I went and bought the official Lenovo bay, (as apposed to the cheap 3rdparty chinese parts). 
There is one problem though. it doesn't stick. It would just drop out or slide out during transport. It seems that the latch that is supposed to lock it is not working. 
Do other T430s users have similar problems keep the bay in place? What can I do to block it apart from scotch-tape.

Not sure you got the right one, according to those numbers. 
I was just asking about adapters here the other day, in this thread.  If you look at the compatibility matrix that was linked there, the part number for the 430s is 43N3412, which is the III iteration.  I found what appears to be a more current one, the IV, part number 0B47315.

  • T430s 2nd Hard Drive Bay Caddy not working

    Hi all,
    I bought 2nd Hard Drive Bay Caddy for my T430s but it does not seem to work.
    The HDDs I placed in it do not even start to spin, and they are not recognized by the laptop BIOS as also by my OSes, Windows and Linux.
    The label on the caddy says it is P/N 26r9247, but at this stage I'm not sure is a compatible part or if I got just a faulty item.
    Any feedback?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    That part number (26R9247) is for the older T60/61 Thinkpads.  You need the Ultrabay III adapter.  Look at 43N3412.

  • When I rearrange the order of my photos in an album, the order does not stick for exporting for a book.

    I manally rearrange my photos in an album, the order does not stick when I export to a folder in order to make a book.  Also, if I have given a title to a photo, it does not seem to export with the other pictures in an album.

    It's a little vague on what you're workflow is.  So I'll make a guess about the book: if you're dragging those photos into an iPhoto book they will be sorted by date.  So you would have to use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date (with 1 minute between photos) menu option on those photos in the album before dragging them onto the book icon.
    Photos exported to a folder on the hard drive will be sorted by the Finder either alphanumerically or chronologically.  To get them in the manual order that's in the album you'll need to rename them via the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Title to Text with a sequential number added to each photo.  Then export to the Desktop with the option to use the Title as the new File name.

  • I just had to reformat the external hard drive that houses my iPhoto library, then restore it from a backup. Now Time Machine is telling me my backup hard drive suddenly does not have the space to complete a backup. I also noticed when I go in to Time Mac

    I just had to reformat the external hard drive that houses my iPhoto library, then restore it from a backup. Now Time Machine is telling me my backup hard drive suddenly does not have the space to complete a backup. I also noticed when I go in to Time Machine, there are only about 5 backups recorded on the ext. hard drive. There were many more before. Any idea what happened and if I have to buy a new back up hard drive?

    Hallo  Kieth ,
    I am not quite ready to restore the full iphoto library , as I have days of work re - imputting titles,descriptions and enhancement . I hope that your suggestion works , as I use my Macbook basically to work with digital photography. Through time , I will need to delete my library to recover more disc space and I would hate to have to spend more time re - imputting titles and descriptions all over again .
    Thanks for your interest and advice.
    regards  - Alan

  • How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility

    How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility?
    Last night i was using my external hard drive, for some reason the folder just closed and i couldn't find it on my desktop.
    After googling solutions, i found it in the disk utilities, i clicked on the 'repair' button many times, but it said the 'error...' message.
    So i ejected it to try again, now when i connect the USB external hard drive it doesn't show up on my desktop or disk utilities.
    I really just want to either repair or recover the data on it because it literally has everything (documents, work files, photos etc) on it,
    I downloaded an application to recover my files but it needs the USB to at least show up.recognise it which mine doesn't.
    I know i should've backed it up on another USB, this definitely teaches me for next time to back up all my files.
    Are the files lost forever or can i recover them by going to a shop or using a software?

    Thank you for responding.
    This might sound stupid since i'm not really knowledgeable with Macs,
    but since all my files were moved from my mac computer to the external hard drive,
    is it possible to recover those files through my Mac - like recovering deleted files?

  • HT201737 how do you close a thumb drive that does not show in finder?

    How do you close a thumb drive that does not show in finder?

    What do you mean by "Close?"
    Eject??
    If so, you could use Go to Computer to find it if it is not in the Sidebar or on the Desktop. Ctrl-click or Right-click on the drive and choose Eject <diskname>
    Or, you could set it to show in the SideBar in the Finder Preferences, SideBar tab. Then, it would have an eject icon next to it in the Sidebar.

  • Mouse pointer does not stick on fader when moving it

    Using Logic Pro 9. If I grab any fader, the mouse pointer turns into a small dot. If I then drag the fader up or down, the dot does not stick on the fader. Instead, I find I have to drag the dot well above or below the fader to make big adjustments. Is there any setting to control this? Or is this just how it is in Logic. In all other audio applications I've seen, the mouse pointer sticks on the fader when moving it up or down.

    No - haven't found a fix for this yet. I can only guess that maybe it wasn't as noticeable when display screens weren't so big. I'm running on a 27" iMac so the effect is quite pronounced. I supposed it could be argued that it gives you a finer grain of control to make small changes - but it really takes away from the 'feel' like you are moving a real fader.

  • Latest OSX Mavericks on an iMac..... Gmail, View, Sort By,  Date does not stick...

    Sort by date does not stick...
    Is there a solution?

    I've tried re-installing my iTunes software and searched throughout the forums and elsewhere without so far being able to determine how to resolve this difficulty.
    In case my original question formulation was not clear, in the past I could click on the header (while viewing my iTunes library in 'Songs' view) and cycle through "Album", "Album by Artist", in either ascending or descending order, and so forth.
    Now I'm only able to chose between "Album by Artist", either ascending or descending. There is no "Album" view option available to me, as there has always been in the past.
    I'm completely puzzled as to how this happened. Perhaps I inadvertently hit the wrong key combination while using iTunes and it changed something, I just don't know.
    I would really appreciate it if any other forum members have suggestions as to how I might fix this!

  • Hard Drive replacement does not let HP System Recovery execute.

    I have a HP Pavillion HP3 (H8-1114) and I want to replace the hard drive on the machine. However when I try to run a System Recovery from the HP Recovery Dvd's I created using the HP software that came with the PC, it tells me that the Hard drive size does not match, and the recovery process fails. As much as I hate to say that I don't want to live off a bare Windows 7 Image, and drivers.
    What I Am trying to do is: downgrade from the 1TB hard drive to a 250gb hard drive due to the fact that after using the computer for 2 years the Operating System has failed me more than 5 times, and rather than wiping the entire 1TB hard drive, I just wipe off the 250GB hard drive, reinstall from recovery discs, and when I have Windows up and running, then let apps know where everything is. (Example, I have Steam, and when ever I used to do restores on my old PC I just tell steam that certain games are located on another hard drive, Windows Libraries, {Music, Videos, Photos} etc. etc. etc.)
    is this possible or AM I going to have to back files up and restore them everytime I have to do a system restore? What if the stock hard drive really fails and I can't install the operating system I bought with my HP computer into the new hard drive because it just won't do it? And is it possible to tell the recovery software to just use a partition in the hard drive instead of having to wipe the entire drive and continue the recovery process?

    Since the HP Recovery discs will not install on a hard drive that is smaller then a predetermined size, I would consider recovering the HP OS (using the HP Recovery Discs) to a 1TB. After the OS is on the 1TB, it can be shrunk and "cloned" to your 250 GB hard drive. Once this is done and all the drivers are update and all the software is installed, you can create a "system image" that can be restored to the hard drive at a later date.
    This way you don't have recover the OS, update the drivers, and install all your software everytime the system craps out on you.

    Hello,
    it seems to be working now. The only change I did was to increase the java heap size, but it feels a bit strange that it should have anything to do with the problem in question.
    Anyway thanks very much for your help.
    Best Regards

    Depends on where you got it - if it came on yoru compujter then you need to have accepeted it in the App store - and it will be in your purchases when you log in with the Apple ID that you used to set up your computer - it mahy be hidden - if you do not find it unhide applications in teh App store

    I'm making some changes on my Boris 3D text but the changes does not stick.
    I do a bevel on the text and press Apply, but when I see the result nothing happened. I go back in and it looks like I changed nothing. I click the check box but it does not help...

    Changes do not stick.
    Yrs. for proper English,

    Thanks for correcting my English Uncle Grump
    I think the reason for my problem was that the text was not selected when I did the changes.
