T430s Windows 8 Thinkvantage Power Management not working

Hi!
On my t430s I can't get the Thinkvantag Power Manager working. Was someone succesful with this?
Thanks!

"Erm...how do I do that??"
Install Power Management driver. Download Lenovo Power Manager for Windows7 to desktop or wherever you want.
Right click the file > Properties > Compatibility > Windows7. Haven't tried it myself but it appears people with Windows
8 say that it's working.

Lenovo b590 power management not working

Hello! I have a problem with my laptop, a lenovo b590. (pentium 2020m, 4gb ram, intel hd graphics): the Lenovo Power Management driver not working....
Is exactly the same as here, but, the only difference is that I use windows 8.1:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Essential/Lenovo-B590-Lenovo-Power-Management-driver-no...
As no one could solve the problem there, I thought it may be more visible now and someone can help me
So, how can I solve this problem?
Edit: I tried everything that was said there, to no avail ...
Sorry for my english..

i'm not sure if there's any suitable cooling pads for your computer but cleaning the fan could be another solution. it may work but it may also void your warranty.
due to it's probably hardware issue, at this point i don't think i have much suggestions for you.

Power Management not working

I was having trouble with my Power Management settings not working. When running on the Power Adapter, my computer would stay awake with the screen on indefinitely, and when running on the Battery, it would shut off the screen after 1 minute and sleep after 5 minutes. The problem showed up when I would change the sliders in the Energy Saver window only to watch them go right back where they were after about 10 seconds. Obviously the lock was unlocked, but I was unable to change the settings no matter what I tried.
The solution came when I checked the Power Management preferences file located in the pref file at /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
I brought up the information for the plist file and noticed that under Sharing & Permissions the Admin account was missing. I added Administrators to the permissions list and voila! The Energy Management panel began working again!
Problem solved and I hope this helps anyone else out there as I seemed to be the only one having this problem.

Hey Chad - Thanks for this tip - I checked in both my user library and the system library and couldn't find either the plist doc or the System Configuration folder. I'm having trouble with energy saver since the latest OS X update and wondering if they've blitzed it somehow!
Any ideas?

SCCM 2012 - Power Management Not Working (PC's wont sleep)

Hi,
I have a Device Collection to test Power Management policy on some desktops. The power management policy has been configured on the device collection to sleep a machine after 20 mins at 6pm. Have configured the Client Settings to enable this feature
but its not working - anyone able to help please??
Weird thing is, about 6 months ago I was testing this on a few computers and it worked perfectly, now we want to test again - its all not working!
Below is the pwrmgmt.log file - doesnt seem to be saying much.

Any Group Policies for Power Options?
Also, you need to make sure the Power Plan in Power Option on the computers is what exactly you set in SCCM. If it is, check the power reqests by powercfg /requests command.

SOLUTION: WMM power management not working with Realtek Wifi drivers (W8.1x64)

I'm posting this solution for anybody who might want a fix for this.
if you run powercfg.exe -energy in Windows 8.1 and view the report it makes, you will see a warning in the log that says:
"Wireless Access Point does not support WMM Powersave mode"
I do not see this warning on another laptop I have (Samsung) which uses an Intel 6230 wifi card. So I did some digging.
At first, I thought it was the router (ASUS RT-AC68P) but realized that WMM was enabled on the router. Since the Samsung notebook didn't have the problem it was obviously driver related.
Unfortunately the drivers supplied by HP and the drivers avaialble as part of "Windows Update" from MS don't address the problem. Even if you change advanced settings for the wificard from "Performance" to "Wireless" the warning persists.
I wound up doing a clean install of W8.1 Update 1 to rid my PC of bloatware, and in the process fixed the issue with "Wireless Access Point does not support WMM Powersave mode"
The default inbox drives from Microsoft work correctly and allow the router to put the wifi card to sleep when no packets are being transmitted
Recently I went to Windows update and noticed there was an updated driver - I downloded it and the problem came back.
I went to device manager, double clicked the wifi card, went to the driver tab, and selected 'rollback driver'.
Problem is resolved again.
Went back to Windows Update and it showed the realtek driver in the optional tab again - right click on it and "hide update".
Solved.
I have noticed no issues with wifi speeds, but I think the battery *is* lasting longer (only tested for a few days); not by much, but a little. Wifi speeds are top-notch, no buffering or latency issues with any web streaming or downloading

I doubt it but there's always a possibility of a bad card. I assume that you've tried multiple routers? Gone to starbucks and same thing? See if when you uninstall the drivers if windows will automatically find a driver and give that a shot. Off hand I can't think of any software related issues with the Wifi as mine has worked fine since day one.
X220~i5 2520M~8GB~Vertex2~IPS~Win7Prox64~ It's amazing.

Thinkvantage power manager

My T400 is woeking fine but the battery gauge in my taskbar show the batter as bing not installed. Everything else works though. I tried uninstalling the power manager and reinstalling it. Ihave tried calling tech support but they are useless. Ideas?

Hi Pheckphul,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
ThinkVantage Power Manager is available only till Windows 7 OS, you won’t get Power Manager for Windows 8 and above, instead of that you can install Lenovo power management application.
To update the drivers and application for your system use ThinkVantage System Update utility.
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar

Password Manager not working with any internet browsers

I have Thinkvantage password manager installed (v. 3.20.0311.00) on my Thinkpad X201. I am running Windows 7 professional, 64 bit. Password Manager works for all programs except IE8 or Mozilla Firefox (eg. works for Outlook, works for iTunes, etc.). When browsing, the program simply never pops up. It worked previously, and I still have many saved website login details, but it never logs in for me any more and new sites do not activate the program.
I have made sure that the add-on is enabled and I have checked the box next to "enable 3rd party browser extensions" in the advanced tab of internet options. I have also tried resetting internet explorer settings. As mentioned above, this in not only a problem with IE8; it also occurs with Firefox.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Same problem here. I just recieved mine (Win 7 pro 64 bit, X201 Multitouch) last week and password manager not working at all in ANY web browser. It recorded my .net password just fine, but i can't get it to work in IE8. Who pays this kind of money for something that doesnt work?
Fix this Lenovo!

ThinkVantage Power Manager - idle time for screen brightness fixed at 1minute (very anoying)

Dear all,
Please consider this problem:
I have just recieved my new X301 which I am very pleased with. However the ThinkVantage Power Manager has a very annoying bug. When creating a custom power scheme everything works as it should (as far as I can tell) except for one thing. Whilst in the "Idle timers" section the first drop down box which allows you to select the "lower display brightness" time in the "battery settings" column I find that I can select any of the options provided, i.e. "After 1 minute", "After 2 minutes", ...etc "After 45 minutes" or "Never". HOWEVER, regardless of what option I select the power manager instantly reverts back to "After 1 minute" as soon as I exit (selecting the "apply" button or the "okay" button does not help). This is incredibly anoying as it means I'm constantly harrased by the sreen changing brighness when I don't want it to OR having to set the "Lower to" setting to the same as the active screen brightness which means there are no power saving advantages at all and I get the anoying flash of the brightness bars on the screen every 60 seconds (that's 60 times in a working hour!)
I have done the following to try to resolve the problem:
1) updated the power manager to the latest verion: 1.54
2) uninstalled the power manager comletely and then reinstalled it, then applied the updates bit by bit and checking the problem at each stage
3) completely restored the entire system to factory setup (formatting the SSD and losing all data and settings...)
NONE of these options have worked. Please note that this is a brand new system out of the box... (cost 2800USD...)
Can anyone please confirm whether or not this happens on their system as well? Is it just me or is this a global problem? I've called the Lenovo ThinkVantage call centre in the US but they couldn't help.
Thanks for your help,
AMS.

This is clearly a bug in PM 1.54. I get the same thing with my old X40, Win XP, SP3. I've recently installed PM 1.54, and have the same problem. It has nothing to do with scheduled tasks, as (a) I don't have any (and don't run the Task Scheduler service on my machine), and (b) it happens immediately (ie. edits are lost as soon as I try to apply them).
Does anyone know if there is an official place to log bugs for TP software?
[editM also kicks in with the 'idle' timer while I'm working.I like its functions, but PM does seem buggy]

Windows 8 - Power Management Software

Hi,
I upgraded to windows 8 on my T420s and have done all updates using Lenovo update utility. I installed power driver for windows 8 but I cannot find the power management software. When will it be released?
I need the software because my batteries are running out in just one hour of use - but i know that they are not dead because they are both new batteries and they shoudl be holding a combined 6 hours of use.
Is there some other utility I can use to let windows reset the battery and relearn its capacity or something like that?
Ezra

Hi, ishtech
Lenovo has yet to release the Power Manger for Windows 8, but some users have developed a workaround. Though not supported, it seems that some users have been able to install the Windows 7 power manager (found here) and have gotten it to work by running it in Windows 7 compatibility mode. If it works for you, it should tide you over until Lenovo releases Power Manager for Windows 8. You can find more information on this here on this Lenovo thread.
Hope it helps,
Adam

Synaptics touchpad on HP Mini 110 Windows 7 32 Bit - not working for one user - working for another

Hi,
I recently have an issue with Synaptics touchpad on HP Mini 110 Windows 7 32 Bit - NOT working for one user - working for another.
Windows 7 updates recently installed ???
By checking the device properties on the user that works - "Synaptics PS/2 Port Touchpad 13/10/2011 Version 15.3.29.0"
When the other user logs on, the touchpad works for a few seconds, then a displays a black square with a red diagonal line through it, then the touchpad won't respond. Trying to use the keypad to navigate to system diagnosics or anything to find further info is useless....

Hey eagle_no11,
Thank you for joining the HP Support Community!
I will do my best in assisting to hopefully get the TouchPad to work on the second user profile.
What I would like to start off with, is to restore the original Synaptics drivers onto the profile that is not working correctly. I have included the document Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7).
Once you have installed the original drivers, you will need to complete all updates from both HP, as well as Windows. For these updates, if you open the HP Support Assistant, and select Maintain, you should see an option for updating.
Please let me know how these steps do work out for you.
Have a great day!

Does anyone know the deal with this or who the correct person at Lenovo would be to report this to?
Thanks.

Audigy Platinum Ex Windows 7 SPDIF IN not working

Audigy Platinum Ex Windows 7 SPDIF IN not working? I have an old Audigy Platinum Ex that has served me well, until now when I have a new Windows 7 x64 PC (RTM). SPDIF IN no longer works, though everything else does (including SPDIF OUT). I've tried the current and beta drivers for the card, and no difference.
In Windows Vista x64 I could use ASIO drivers with my M-Audio ProFire 60 while using the Audigy for PC audio. Most often this was for skype, which I would set to use SPDIF IN/OUT which I then connected to the ProFires SPDIF OUT/IN. Using the ProFire mixing tool, I could control which mics and levels went to the Audigy while not interfereing with the ASIO drivers recording the mics. The ProFire also recorded the SPDIF OUT from the Audigy to caputre the person on Skype to their own audio track. This is a podcast producer's heaven, and I miss it!
If it's a known issue (SPDIF IN / Win 7), I've had this card through 4 PC upgrades and it's served me well enough I don't mind buying new. The Creative Sound Blaster X-fi Elite Pro looks to be the current version of my Ex - are there any Windows 7 issues currently that would stop me from using it in the role above? I will miss the FireWire port, a shame they dropped that.

Well basically it is possible, and I've found this out. Apparently Dell released a driver or something that allows it to work, but then only if you install a 3rd party modified xp version of the creative suite. I don't remember where I found it, but it was through google... Using some term including x-fi, dts, and vista.... Can't seem to find it now. Anyway, it had a download for the whole creative suite that was modified from the xp version for Vista, however it was buggy as hell, caused driver issues and blue screens, and ended up causing me to have to reinstall Vista altogether again. In other words, it's possible, but I don't recommend it until it's officially supported... Don't know when this will be yet... *crosses fingers*
Luckily I've got a dual OS system with XP too, and I switch to that when I want to use my Xbox 360... However due to Microsoft also being terrible in that department... I now get entertainment off of its 3 red lights... (For those of you who don't know, 3 red lights = hardware error. Sending into microsoft for repair typically is a 2 month process... I'm still waiting on my prepaid shipping box to arri've and it's been 4 days... Will be a similar wait to get it to them, 4-6 weeks for them to actually repair, and another week or so to get it all shipped back). Although even when the console worked, my dsl modem sometimes cut out when playing on Xbox li've and dropped signals, reported errors, etc.
What is with the companies producing technology nowadays? I just want to play Gears in 5. on Xbox li've... *cries*Message Edited by Supercoolyo on 07-22-20070:54 AM
