T500 problems, Lenovo problems

 I just got a new T500.
First of all the screen is not very bright. It's hard to see in a well lighted room.
The keys on the keyboard are uneven, as in the left side of the spacebar sticks up in the air.
The vertical scroll on the trackpad only works well if I make the zone very large.
Screen goes dim. When on battery power for a while the screen will go very dim and will not respond to any display or power adjustments. If I plug it in, no change. If I power off and reboot, no change. If I let it sit unplugged over night then all is well.
Today, Dec 28, 2009, I have been on the phone 4 times.
866-426-7378  had a 15 minute wait just to tell me to call 800-426-7378 technical support for a case number.
800-426-7378  was supposed to be technical support. The person at the other end of the phone said they are just a call center. Gave me only 2 options, either return it a pay restocking fee and all shipping, or have Lenovo repair the problems. I said I don't want to go back and forth in the mail with a new laptop please let me return it and send another one. "No", was the response.
866-426-7378  another 15 minute wait, no help, I asked for a supervisor, he got on then disconnected me.
866-426-7378  again, 30 minute wait, finally got an intelligent helpful person. He contacted a tech friend of his who said the problems were probably, 1 need a new keyboard, 2 new track pad or maybe just driver updates (this is a brand new unit), 3 the screen needs a new backlight and possibly even a complete lcd replacement. 
So I am sending it back and I will wait to hear from Lenovo.
WHY DO YOU MAKE IT SO PAINFUL

Of the drivers you mention I have the following installed:
- ThinkPad Power Management Driver (6hku06ww)
- Power Manager (7zu413ww)
- Lenovo Fingerprint Software UPEK (6hf309ww)
They appear to work well apart from switching the built in CD player on after a power down. I now have to manually eject and reinsert the CD driver to switch it on.
On My T400s I only have discreet graphics. The built in drivers for WIn 7 worked but I downloaded Intels Win 7 graphics drivers from their site.
You might also want to install the UltraNav driver and Utility.
The drivers seem stable and (mostly) working as they should so I would recommend you install them.

  • T500 Driver crash problem, for all upgrading owners

    To all the T500 Owners who have upgraded to windows 7. There is one major problem hindering a lot of t500 owners. Someone mentioned earlier in this thread to download the catalyst 9.9 drivers from ATI.  Everything else has worked great and all the drives have automatically been updated smoothly.
    They install properly but after a restart this is what happens as mentioned by another user
    "Hi I have a big problem with my lenovo T500. I installed Windows 7 RC x64 to my lenovo T500 (2082-53G) and when I install the ATI catalyst beta driver v9.9 from ATI's homepage, my computer freezes at startup (some activity on HD but I can't move my mouse and many processes faile to start at boot). I'm not the only one facing this problem: Lenovo T500 Thinkpad - WDM Radeon 3650 Driver Update Causes Screen to Freeze"
    I have the exact same problem.... have formatted twice already, gone into safe mode, theres no getting around this problem.
    Any help? I have the 32 bit version of windows 7 enterprise 90 day trial.
    I know we might not be able to swtich the graphic cards, but at the very least we should be able to pick one in bios and  be forced to use that.  At this point its not even allowing me to install the discrete driver.

    Hi SuperWoofer,
    Thanks for your sharing. You're very helpful indeed! =)

  • Start up problems, lenovo G480

    I dont,t have system recovery disc and image back up files.
    The restore point was turn off and no restore point.
    The Startup Repair utility runs and can't resolve the issue. 
    I get the following error:

    Hi,
    You don't have any recovery media and backup, this is not recommended behavior.
    Please try to start your computer into Safe Mode by pressing
    F8 key to troubleshoot.
    To boot into Safe mode, the detailed guide is below:
    Start your computer in safe mode
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7
    If the issue gone in Safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic device drivers as possible causes. If a recently installed program, device, or driver prevents Windows from running correctly, you can start your computer in safe mode and then
    remove the program that's causing the problem.
    If it persists, you could use Last Known Good Configuration
    in the Advanced Startup Options screen to see if it could fixed.
    In addition, if the system recovery tools installed on your hard disk, you could use
    Repair Your Computer option to repair.
    Otherwise, no method unless you get one recovery media from others to repair your installation.

    This is a scam. Do not phone these people, at best they will charge you for unnecessary 'cleaning' and at worst they will gain access to your Mac and steal your data. You've probably managed to install some 'adware' which is producing this fake warning. 'Adwaremedic' should remove it and is safe to use - please see

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with a Windows operating system file there.
    Perhaps try an sfc /scannow. For instructions, see the following Microsoft document:

  • I have not been able to open up Lightroom on my computer for over a year now. Whenever I double click on it, this comes up - can anyone help? Problem signature:   Problem Event Name:APPCRASH   Application Name:lightroom.exe   Application Version:3.4.1.10

    I have not been able to open up Lightroom on my computer for over a year now. Whenever I double click on it, this comes up - can anyone help? Problem signature:   Problem Event Name:APPCRASH   Application Name:lightroom.exe   Application Version:3.4.1.10

    First thing to try is the latest version of Lightroom (currently 5.6). If it don't crash, then problem solved - upgrade.
    If Lr5 won't run on your machine, then Lr4 instead.
    If both Lr5 and Lr4 crash on your machine, then at least you know it's a not a Lightroom version problem but something wonked in your system.
    If you can't figure out how to resolve the crash on the system you have, then it's time for a new system (or try another converter/editor app).
    PS - A few things to try:
    * After re-installing new version, if that doesn't fix it, then get rid of all Lightroom-related data files (rename them so they can be restored), in case problem is in Lr data file.
    * Remove all non-essential hardware in case problem is hardware/driver.
    * Startup up machine with minimal software services.
    * If still no go, consider updating driver software, including mainboard drivers and/or bios firmware if need be.
    * Of course run all the system hardware and software diagnostics you can - problem could be failing disk or ram..
    * Check system event logs for any clues.
    If you don't know how to do some of these things - ask.
    Do not say "you've tried everything" unless you want a lecture - there is most definitely something you haven't tried. It's like when you can't find your car keys - you haven't looked everywhere -  there is somewhere you haven't looked!
    PS - Has Lightroom EVER worked on your machine? what's changed since then..
    Good luck,
    Rob

    But I am assuming that when I make the installer, the 32-bit Run Time Engine is appened with the installer, as show below
    Since from the picture you can see its including the support installers from '\Program Files (x86)\'
    The application runs queries to fetch data from database in SQL server 2008, and for that I am using a Microsoft SQL Native Client 2008 R2 64 bit ( this is the only version that installs on either PC, even the one on which I developed my LV Application).
    I am not using any driver, only toolkits for reports - and for that I un-checked the "Remove unused polymorphic VI instances" when making the executable, otherwise LV throws up an exception that share variable are not being included.
    Yes I did reboot every time after I ran the installation.
    Still getting the same error.

    Hi Sue,
    Does this happen with any particular file or all files?
    Since the crash report above mentions accessibility.api, so are you working on any related function like adding tags etc. when Acrobat crashes?
    Disable all the 3rd party services working in the background and check.
    Regards,
    Rave

    iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
    If iTunes opens in safe mode, quit iTunes and then try launching it again normally. Does it launch without the error messages this time?
