T530 does not make typical ThinkPad Power Status Beeps

Hello,
I just got my ThinkPad T530.  Things are going ok with it, the keyboard isn't as terrible as I had thought - but certainly didn't wow me like the keyboard on my T510 which I think was the best keyboard any ThinkPad ever had.
Anyway, something I have noticed, and that is sort of a problem for me, is that this computer is not making the typical "power status change" beeps that every other ThinkPad has ever made.  You know, the dee-dum, dum-dee that go along with plugging or unplugging the AC power adapter.  Also no single beep when it finishes going to sleep, or wakes up from sleep.
Anyone know how I get these back?  I didn't see anything obvious in the BIOS or Power Manager.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hey brillat,
Could you tell us what version of Power Manager you have on your computer?
DETERMINING WHICH VERSION IS INSTALLED
  1. Start Power Manager. The main screen will be displayed.   2. Click '?' mark at the top right of the main screen, and select the 'About      Power Manager...' . The version will be displayed.
thanks!
Best Regards,
Hiro

  • Lightroom does NOT make use of new/fast hardwares!

    For those who are considering a new computer here's my experience....
    Lightroom 4 does NOT make full use of new/fast CPUs / SSDs!
    I’ve been frustrated with Lightroom speed since launch and held on to my “old” Xeon work station for two years…. I recently invested in the latest Intel CPU and IO technology and I'm very disappointed how Lightroom 4 does not make use of it. It's most noticeably sluggish from one photo to the next during editing. This may seem small but when I edits hundreds of images everyday it really slow me down.
    See my system specs at very bottom of this post. I don't think there's a bottle neck in performance! I love my new setup and it's a pleasure to use the OS. BUT I'm so disapointed everytime I load up Lightroom. (My typical Lightroom edits are 600-900 sRAW images - I edit down my photos in Photo Mechanic 5! It's just too slow in Lightroom)
    Lightroom still take time to load each image when advance from one image to the next (During editing). Isn’t smart enough to cache 100 images in advance let say. (1:1 previews as been created!)
    Won’t make use of more than 8GB ram. No matter how big the RAW working set is.
    Very slow switching from one working module to another
    Lightroom Jpeg export won’t make use of more than 25% of new Intel Xeon E5 series dual processors processing power 12 cores. 6-9 cores are literally taking a nap during export!
    I’ve tried everything found in Adobe suggestion link below:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/optimize-performance-lightroom.html
    * I definately tried 1:1 render preview and all of the other jazz found in link directly above!
    * Running all latest firmwares and updates
    I hope the next version of Lightroom will actually make use of good hardware instead of adding on more features. We desperately need a snappy/responsive Lightroom for sake of productivity! I'm not here to put down Adobe. I'm a big fan of Adobe and Intel and have been using them for 15 years.
    My Setup:
    Dell Workstation T7600
    Dual Xeon E5-2630 2.5GHz (12 Cores Total)
    64GB 1600Mhz RAM
    OCZ RevoDrive 3X2 - 1500MB/s (Boot / Camera Raw Cache)
    4 Intel 520 Series SSD in RAID0 with dedicated 1GB Cache SAS/SATA PCIe 3.0 controller (Working RAW files)
    Nvidia GTX680 - 4GB VRAM (I know this made for 3D but it has PCIe 3.0 connectivity - Quadro 4000 PCIe 2.0 wasn't any better)
    Drobo-S 2GBx5 (Strictly Storage)
    Windows 7 Ultimate (Bare minimum! Just Adobe CS6 suite and Microsoft Office 2010)

    Can you copy this to the Feature Request forum so we can vote on it please?  http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family  And then post the link here so we can find it.  It'll get my vote.
    There are a couple of others you might like to vote on too, such as using the embedded preview for editing down.  http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lightroom_capability_to_display_embe dded_preview
    In terms of workarounds for now, if you haven't tried the 4.2RC yet, you might find the module switching a bit faster.  And for better use of your exports processing power, try splitting your export into 3 or 4 and running them concurrently (i.e. set the first going, and immediately set the second going, etc.) as that'll make better use of the extra cores if your hard drives are able to keep up with them.

    Hello,
    I'm a customer that wanted to bring to your attention the lack of customer service I've received from the Best Buy store at your Tri-County location, here in Ohio.  On the 14th of November, I walked in the store to buy an open box electric stove that was advertised on your website.  Your website clearly stated that one was in stock at the Tri-County location.  I called the store and spoke to a representative prior to my arrival at the store to confirm that this information was accurate and the rep simply told me yes it was, if it says it one the website then to go off of that.  
    So I went to the store to purchase the stove and was unable to find it.  I had several associates help me look for it and nobody could find it and the managers determined that it wasn't in stock.  Since it was a Best Buy mistake, the manager offered to give me the new version of the stove for the same price, which saved me a little money.  As I'm patiently waiting for the final word from one of the managers, I start looking around for other things I may possibly want to buy and I come across an open box french door refrigerator, so I decide to purchase that as well.  Nothing was wrong with it, except for a couple scratches.   Keep in mind that this is nearly a couple weeks before thanksgiving, where I had nearly 30 attendants.  I just bought a dishwasher and microwave from lowes and wanted to have my complete appliance set on display just in time for Thanksgiving.
    When the items arrived at my home, a couple days before Thanksgiving, I was relieved that I received them on time.  For the most part, the delivery crew was acceptable, except for the fact that they broke a light switch on the wall as they were trying to move the refrigerator in it's place.  They told me about it and I told them that that was okay and that I was just happy that I received my appliances.  As anyone else would do, I waited for the fridge to get cold before I put the food back in and when it came time to do so, I noticed that the middle flap between both french doors was broke.  It's a bit deceiving because if you just look at it you can't really tell, but after opening and closing it a couple times, you could easily tell that it was broken.  So I called Best Buy that same day and told them of the problem.  I asked them if they had that part at the store, so I could just come in and get the replacement.  Note, that on the appliance defect report this was not listed, so I'm assuming it was damaged during delivery or was overlooked.  I mentioned this to the manager.  He said, that the item had to be special ordered, so as disappointed as I was that my fridge would not be fully operational for thanksgiving, I said it was okay and he told me that he would call me once it came in.  To give you a better idea of what my family is experiencing, we don't use the left door on the fridge.  
    2 weeks go by and I still haven't received a call, so I decide to call and check in for an update.  An associate tells me that the item just came in yesterday and that he would call me back in a few minutes to schedule a repair.  I don't receive a call that day, so I call best buy back a few days later.  Again, I speak to the same associate and he tells me that the item never came in and that the manager was just going to give me a new fridge instead. So I call your corporate office and speak with an associate and he says that he will get to the bottom of it and help me set up the delivery.  
    Well on the day of the delivery, which was a Saturday, I was told that it would be dropped off sometime between 3 and 5 in the evening, or something in that timeframe.  What do I do?  I empty out my fridge and clear a path for the delivery personnel.  It being a Saturday, I had plans and I haven't received a call from anybody.  So around half past 5, I start putting the items back in the fridge, as well as move the furniture back in place.  Keep in mind, this is no easy task.  I have a 4 bedroom home and a family of 5, so yes, I have a lot of furniture and a fully stocked fridge.  This probably took at least 2 hours to get everything cleared and to put it back in place when I found out they were not showing up.  
    I then get a call at 15 till 6 from the delivery crew telling me that they were on there way. Surprised and irate that they are now calling me, I have to refuse the delivery because we we didn't have time to wait around since we already had plans for the night.  I get another call from a Best Buy associate trying to reschedule and I told them that I've had enough of their dealings and that I would let corporate handle it and through corporate I would see that a proper delivery would then be scheduled.
    Well this morning I saw on my phone that I have several missed calls, as early as 6 in the morning from Best Buy delivery stating that I am suppose to recieve my fridge in the morning and I was there 2nd stop.  I call the guy and tell him that I was unaware of the delivery and that I would give you guys a call today to schedule the appointment.  I intend to call you after I send this email regarding that.  
    So in all, I've probably been on the phone with Best Buy personnel at least 10 times and several hours.  I spoke to several associates, including 3 different managers, 3 different delivery crews, and a rep from your corporate office once.  I think it's safe to say that this has been a total nightmare and saving a couple hundred dollars does not make up for it.  I wanted to reach out to you because as an educated consumer, who also happens to be an elite Best Buy member, I can firmly say that because of this "Nightmare" I will not be buying any more appliances from your store and you would be lucky if I bought anything else from the store.  You do have some pretty good deals on games and movies though, so I may continue to do that.  
    Please take this information and utilize it accordingly, obviously, this is not how business should be ran and I know this isn't the first time something like this has happened.  The exact same thing happend to my friend a few years back from a different store.

    Hello penningtonj, 
    While it's great to hear that you seem to have received new inbox units at open box prices due to your experiences, it certainly sounds like the delivery portion of the experience could have been vastly better for you. 
    I'm glad to hear that the oven is working well for you, and I'm truly sorry to hear of the difficulties you've experienced with the open box refrigerator. Our open box items should be thoroughly inspected and marked accordingly for its condition or any missing parts or accessories. It is disheartening to hear that a damaged part may have gone unnoticed. With that said, it's awesome that the store has offered to replace it. 
    We strive to ensure our deliveries are seamless and hassle-free. Given you have a sizable family, I know emptying a refrigerator is no easy task, as I grew up in family of a similar size, and should the refrigerator have to be emptied for any reason, it was a bit chaotic! It is regrettable to hear that the delivery team was late, and that they failed to contact you sooner to let you know of their delay. Furthermore, it is strange that you may not have been aware of (and thus completely unprepared for) the rescheduled delivery. I can understand how this would be concerning, and further aggravating.
    I sincerely apologize for the continued hassle you've experienced with purchasing these appliances. With that said, it appears that you are currently scheduled for delivery on 1/28/15. You should receive a phone call the night before to provide you with a time frame of when to expect them. If you should have any questions or concerns, please feel welcome to reach out to me! 
    Respectfully,

  • My ipod 5 wont connect to wifi, all the other devices in the house will does not make sense

    Ipod 5 wont conect to wifi in my house when other devices do. does not make sense, went to apple store connected no problem there. Funny thing is it has worked since christmas now all the sudden i have problems, any ideas?

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Ap 3700 PoE with PSE that does not support CDP/LLDP power Negotiation

    We run into a problem when AP 3700 is connected to an 802.3at PSE
    that only supports physical event classification as compliant to 802.3at standard for PSE,
    but does not support CDP/LLDP power negotiation.
    AP 3700 (I believe the firmware version does not matter much) cannot get enough power after not receiving any CDP/LLDP power negotiation packet. (get no more than 15W power although PSE supports 30W.)

    Hi Leo,
    Thanks for the information, and do you know if Phihong power injector supports 802.3at LLDP power negotiation or not?
    And is there any special configuration on AP3700 side like disabling CDP/LLDP power negotiation to make it to work with such power injector,  and what is the command if there is any?
    Thanks again, Leo.

  • Approval Workflow does not update the Content Approval status if started automatically

    Hi,
    I’m using a simple Approval Workflow associated with
    Content Approval on site pages. It works fine when I set it to be started manually (by using
    Allow this workflow to be manually started by an authenticated user with Edit Item permissions
     option) and on the completion of the workflow the
    Content Approval status is updated accordingly. But when I set it to be started automatically (by using
    Start this workflow when a new item is created
     / Start this workflow when an item is changed
    options), it does not updates the Content Approval status. Note that I’ve set the
    Update the approval status after the workflow is completed (use this workflow to control content approval)
    option to true.
    Regards

    Hello,
    It is recommended to select "Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item" when you want to use the workflow to manage content approval for
    a library.
    According to the Notes for “Enable Content Approval” option in
    this reference:
    If you are using this Approval workflow to manage content approval (moderation) for a library, and you selected the Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version
    of an item check box on the Add a Workflow page..
    If you did not select the Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item check box on the Add a Workflow page because you do not want this workflow to
    be the default content approval workflow for a library, you can select the Update the approval status (use this workflow to control content approval) check box to make this workflow a secondary content approval workflow that specific users can
    start manually.
    That means having an approval workflow start automatically when a document is changed or created is not a good practice when you want to use the workflow to manage
    content approval for a library. You should either select "Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item" or give users the option to start the workflow manually at the time they want to submit for an approval.
    Thanks & Regards.

  • Canon 60D does not resume after auto power off

    My Canon 60D does not resume after auto power off. It shows the empty battery icon when I press the shutter button, even the battey is fully charged. If I remove the battery and insert back it will resume to work. Any one had the same experience and know how to resolve it?

    The power switch is actually a "software" switch.  It's not like a light switch in that it doesn't actually provide or deprive the camera of power... only removing the battery will deprive the camera of power.  This is why it doesn't actually just go dark when you switch off power... instead you'll usually see it perform a sensor clean cycle and then power down.  The camera is technically in a kind of "sleep" mode monitoring the switch.  If a Canon camera ever seems to lock up and ignore all input, the battery should be temporarily removed to "reboot" the camera.   There is no "setting" in a camera that can configure it to ignore buttons.   Although... if the camera is in an automatic mode, some input is deliberately ignored to make it easier to use the camera.  Put the mode dial in a "creative zone" mode (P, Tv, Av, or M) and all buttons and menus should be accessible. You might try connecting the camera via USB cable to your computer and then attempt to control the camera via the Canon EOS Utility to see if that works.  If the camera responds fine to the computer control, then likely the camera's main board and circuits are working fine and it may just be a wiring problem -- as if some cable simply isn't getting a very solid connection.  If this is a wiring issue, you are probably better off sending it in for service.  

  • AddAnotherRow of Advanced Table, does not make the new row as current row

    Hi OAF Gurus,
    Requirement:
    When user presses 'AddAnotherRow' button on OAAvancedTable, the new row that gets added should become the current row of the underlying VO of the table.
    What’s happening:
    When user presses 'AddAnotherRow' button on OAAvancedTable, the new row is not the current Row(VO’s previous current row retains its current status)
    What I tried by far
    APPROACH #1 - when create row
    In VORowImpl - override create and set this new row as current
    public void create(AttributeList attributeList)
    try
    super.create(attributeList);
    // PSUDO CODE
    am = this.getApplicationModule
    vo = am.findViewObject("OAAdvancedTableVO1");
    vo.setCurrentRow(this) // this should set the new row to current.
    But VO's current row is still the old current row and not this new row.
    APPROACH #2 - when insert Row
    I thought that AddAnotherRow , internally must be doing a create() then an insert() row on the VO, so i overridden the insertRow(row) of the VO
    public void insertRow(Row row)
    super.insertRow(row);
    this.setCurrentRow(row)
    System.out.println("COMMENT insert called .............................................");
    But this method is never called by the framework.
    ***Please help me make the newly created row on the OAAdvancedTable using 'AddAnotherRow' (out of the Box) , as the currentRow of the underlying VO***
    Thanks
    Chaitanya

    Thanks a lot Chris.
    I have used your code and it works perfect.
    Now I am not using the out-of-the-box AddAnotherRow, as it does not make the newly added Row as 'currentRow' of the VO
    I have used the following code by Chris and it solves the issue.
    1. Determine the number of already displayed rows on the table
    OAAdvancedTableBean tableBean = (OAAdvancedTableBean) webBean.findChildRecursive(tableID);
    int rowsDisplayed = tableBean.getNumberOfRowsDisplayed();
    replace tableID with the actual value.
    2. I have the following routine to create the row and set it as the current row.
    OAViewObject viewObject = (OAViewObject) findViewObject(viewObjectName);
    int rowCountInRange = viewObject.getRowCountInRange();
    Row row = viewObject.createRow();
    int insertIndex = rowCountInRange;
    if (rowCountInRange == rowsDisplayed) {
    insertIndex = rowCountInRange - 1;
    viewObject.insertRowAtRangeIndex(insertIndex, row);
    viewObject.setCurrentRow(row);
    Thanks again all of you for help
    Regards
    Chaitanya

    Buket probably thinks that how there is a "getInt" method in JDBC there must be magically a "getInt "method in javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest - it's called "doing things by analogy" (with a variant: "doing things because someone told me") and sometimes it even works!
    There are "getInt" methods for the following classes in the JDK: java.lang.reflect.Array, java.lang.reflect.Field, java.sql.CallableStatement, java.sql.ResultSet, javax.jms.MapMessage, javax.swing.UIDefaults, javax.swing.UIManager - but unfortunately no getInt in such class (only a getIntHeader, that is not what the OP needs).

  • How can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, do I have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense

    I hope there has been found a more efficiant solution for this,  how can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, I really hope I don't have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense
    any suggestions?

    Did you try browsing your backups in the Finder ?  That is, do not go and "Enter Time Machine".  Instead, navigate to your Time Machine backup via Finder and then manually go to the time period (by folder name) you are looking for ... when you find your Aperture library you can then "Show Package Contents" and find the Master you are looking for.

  • IPhone 4 does not make or receive calls/text at a location it used to.HELP!

    I started experiencing this sometime last week. It does not make any sense to me so I ask you. My phone does not make or receive phone calls and texts while I am at my workplace. It had worked find from when I got the phone (Late August) through January. If it stopped working completely I'd figure it was a dead zone or something, although they do not just pop up out of nowhere. But it works sporadically. Like if i got to send a text maybe 1 out of every 4 will work, same with receiving them. And this is the same with phone calls. I will receive a call, get through maybe 15 seconds of it, then the call gets dropped. Then for the remainder of the day (as I do not use it much during work) it will not receive a call, it goes right to voicemail. I have tested this by repeatedly calling my phone from my work landline. It rings fine on that end, so others wouldn't suspect I am having an issue, and goes to voicemail. I left a voicemail and my phone did not alert me to it for over 10 minutes (it never told me I had a missed call) During this timeframe I also attempted to make phone calls from my iPhone, they would not ring, it would immediately drop. But again, it is sporadic. So after 5 or 6 times of attempting making phone calls one goes through. I had made an appointment at the Apple Store the first day that this happened but once I was on the road to the store I got all my texts, voicemails, pictures that I had attempted to send earlier, so I thought it pointless since I had no real proof of this happening. But now it seems to happen everyday, it just happened which prompted me to write this. Again, its only at work, and only recently started happening. There is no cell tower issue, everyone elses phone works here. I have turned off the phone, both a soft and hard reset, reset network setting, turned off/on 3G, Cell Data, taken out the SIM, moved it, etc. Everything short of getting another phone, but it works perfectly fine everywhere else. Any ideas???

    I ended up taking my phone in to the Genius Bar, but we were unable to diagnose the problem. The genius said she had never seen anything like this before. We tried everything to figure out if it was hardware or software related, but never concluded anything. Instead of paying >$150 to fix/replace, I bought the iPhone5. iPhone5 is amazing. Maybe it was fate.

  • By default in BPC values are sum in node level, It does not make sense to sum averages on parent nodes.

    HI Guys
    we have an business requirement to store data in average figures ,
    The values  are entered on the base member level but in reports we need to show average values  on the parents level instead of sum
    ( by default in BPC values are sum in node level),it does not make sense to sum averages on parent nodes.
    we managed it with excel formulas ,but we r facing the problem with dimensions which are in context.
    (i tried using dim memeber formulas but AVG key word is not accepting the system in member formulas)
    at last by using formula we managed the report but im worried abt that if there is no formulas ,how we will manage
    pls suggest any solution to show average values on the node level in specific reports

    Hi Krao,
    Please define what do you mean by average - arithmetic average or weighted average (has more business sense to my mind).
    Also, please provide some samples, explaining dimensions used in average calculation.
    In our case we use dimension member formulas to show average prices, discounts etc. in the reports.

  • Safari 5 - Opening a new tab does not make it active

    In Safari 4 if you open up a new tab, whether or not the "When new tab or window opens, make it active" option is checked, the new tab becomes active. In Safari 5 creating an new tab does not make it active. It doesn't matter what the option mentioned above is checked or not. I have to explicitly click on the tab to bring in in focus. Interestingly, in S5, creating a new window does bring the new window into focus.
    Anyone else seeing this?

    But do you have the same problem as I, i.e. that tabs cannot be opened at all without launching Top Sites when using Saft?
    This problem is much more serious than the non-focus problem. Here's another report of the same issue:
