T61 On-screen button display problems

Hello, I've been having a problem with my T61 and was wondering if anyone on here could help me out. My laptop recently crashed, having the blue screen on startup, causing me to reinstall Windows Vista again and all. I managed to recover all my files and everything seems to be back to normal except for a few things. First thing that annoys me the most is that whenever I use my volume buttons on the keyboard, the volume up and down works but does not show up in green text, like before, saying what volume number it is at. In addition to this, my mute button only mutes volume but does not unmute the volume afterwards. Like the up and down volume buttons, the shortcut keys of Fn+Home and Fn+End to increase and decrease brightness of the screen do work, but do not display the on-screen green text. One other problem I have is that my ThinkVantage blue button next to the volume buttons does not work at all. Lastly, my larger battery icon does not show up anymore in the toolbar to the left of the clock and the small picture icons next to the clock. I hope that these problems can be solved through these forums and thank you very much for all your help!
Solved!

It would seem that you did a clean install of Vista instead of a system recovery. If that's what you did, you're missing a bunch of Lenovo specific utilities, including the OSD and Power Management applets.
Have you run Sytem Update yet? If you don't have the application, go to http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/homeLenovo.do?country=us and let the page autodetect your system and then find the appropriate download for the Updater. Once the updater is installed, use it to gather the rest of the stuff you need. Good luck.

  • Screen Layout Display problem

    Hi,
    I am facing a problem in SE51 where I cannot see the screen layout properly.
    All free text is displayed and GUI is improper.
    From the same desktop, if I access other server, I can see the screens properly in SE51
    Any idea what should be done?
    We dont have BASIS support here. Looks like a local system problem.
    Please help.
    Pranu

    hi
    In SE51 . Click on menu Utility - > Setting.
    See that the graphical screen painter in checked.
    Even after this you donot get to see screen painter ( graphical) then your GUI installation may be faulty.
    You can still work in non graphical mode but its difficult.
    hope this helps
    regards

  • Nokia Lumia 800 - Screen and display problems

    I'm having problems with the display on my phone, it has coloured lines going horizontally through it, such as those in the following photograph:
    http://modmyi.com/attachments/forums/general-iphone-chat/39931d1209070920-phone-screen-dead-pixel-ex...
    And the screen itself is coming away from the actual body of the phone, it looks as if it is about to fall off from the top.
    I've only had this phone for about 3 months, so what do you think could be causing this issue, and is it covered by my warranty?
    Thank you

    It would be pointless speculating on the cause of this. Best thing for you to do at this stage is to present it to your local Nokia Care Point and see if they see it as a manufacturing defect or misuse. Manufacturing defects should be covered under warranty.

  • T400 and T61 Dim Display problem...​.

    Good day,
         I am having extremely strange problem, and would apreciate any help. I also experiencing this exact problem with a T61 laptop.
    The display screen is extremely dim. I have changed the LCD Panel, LCD Cable, Inverter Card as well as the Systemboard. And I am still experiencing the same problem, not only for the T400, but also for the T61.....
    If anyone has any solution to this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Best regards,
    Uttam A. Dookhran

    I recently started having the same problem on my three-year old T61. The screen is legible, but definitely dimmer than it used to be. I'm happy to replace something, if I know what the problem is. Sounds like you have already done all the things I would have done. Did you also replace the backlight?

  • Having some problems with t61 display problems..

    i am using a intergrated graphic card for the t61...
     but what i dont understand is when i install the latest drivers through lenovo download site for the graphic card, there will be some display problems when i set to screen resolution to 800x600 or 1024 the whole screen will tend to be very small and not stretch properly according the the screen..
    however i uninstall the latest drivers and went to intel to install the older drivers for the intergrated gfx.. after that everyday work properly..
    when i had the latest drivers when i play games like warcraft or counterstrike the screen will also go very small however after using the old graphic card, the problem did not occur... can anyone tell me how do i install the latest drivers because i believe the older driver is not really expanding the gfx to the max.. thanks..

    random reboots are quite common
    try updating the software before you do anything else.
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

    Quit the game and restart the iPad.
    To quit the game - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't work try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • I have a 17" Macbook pro with flickering red and cyan(blue) lines across the screen. The issue disappears temporarily when I tap on the computer, and the problem does not occur when I use external display or try to screen capture the problem.

    I purchased my Macbook (17") through a certified apple tecnition in August 2012, it was refurbished and the motherboard was completely replaced. I do a lot of photo editing, but I have been unable to do so because of the red vibrating lines that interrupt my screen. The issue disappears temporarily when I tap on the computer, and the problem does not occur when I use external display or try to screen capture the problem. I brought the computer back to the technition I purchased it from and he said that it was a problem with my fan, so I have two new fans but the issue is still occuring. He says he doesnt know whats wrong. Does anyone have any information on this issue?
    Here is an image of the issue
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/67839707@N08/8884847081/

    I recommend having your Mac serviced by someone competent. A force sufficient to "blow apart" the fans was clearly excessive and may have damaged the display cable, as well as any number of other problems.
    Dust is properly cleaned with a vacuum, preferably one designed for computer service, and they are not cheap.
    Compressed air should never be used. It just blows dust everywhere, often into places where it can no longer be removed.

    Hello My ipads Power button is not working properly when I press it once it shows option to turn off instead of locking and some other display problems like it suddenly lockes down or display disappears ...Please help. Thank You

    Thanks for that information!
    I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
    In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
    When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
    Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

  • OS X Lion Server display problem with menu highlighting and button icons

    I have attached  Grab capture of my screen showing the problems with the window top bars and button icons. This happened after a routine security update.

    I have/had the same problem. Comparible setup running Lion Server GM. The natd service fires off the InternetSharing service from the prefspane instead of the regular natd service. This is verifiable by entries in the system log as well as the lack of the natd process running. Below are my findings from research/experimentation; please understand that this is what I have done to get it working, it is DEFINITELY not best practices and I'm sure not supported by Apple. I'm just conveying what I think is happening and how I dealt with it.
    Natd - Executing the binary referenced in the launchctl job directly launches the InternetSharing service on Lion server. This does NOT act this way in SL server, where it works as expected. Replacing the Lion binaries with The SL ones results in natd working as expected: nat_start and nat_stop in /usr/libexec. In short, if you replace the Lion binaries with the ones from SL, it-s a drop-in fix. Natd isn't your only problem though...
    Dns/named - It appears that Apple has limited named to binding on the loopback adapter only by default on Lion. Adding a listen-on clause to named.conf with the appropriate bindings will fix this. I'm assuming you're running natd, named and dhcpd on the same box...
    Dhcpd - Works fine. It appears broken only because the InternetSharing service is replacing natd (why?!?) and it has a built-in dhcpd server (dumbed down 192.168.2.0 subnet). Once you fix natd, this runs as expected.
    Firewall/ipfw - Gotta have this running so that natd will do translation. Remember to open the dhcp ports to allow the clients to get leases...
    I hope this helps, I'm sticking with SL until these issues are worked out...

  • Screen Display Problem in Windows 7 OS

    Hello Gurus,
        I have a scenario for creating sub screen area in sales order 'Additional data B' tab.I created screen and its working fine.But problem is if open sales order in Windows XP system its displaying screen properly,but if i open same thing in windows 7 screen is not showing screen completely. Sub screen is displaying only 70%. I thought it is issue on SAP GUI side.But am not able to find a solution.Please help to solve this issue.
    Thanks,
    Chittoor.

    Hello.
    As Miguel mentioned, it might be because of different screen resolutions.
    I feel this is one of the drawbacks in SAP screen developments. There is no way we can develop a screen that looks uniform across all screen resolutions which is possible with web application programming.
    I would suggest you to develop the screen in a resolution that is most common across PCs and layout various screen elements from the left end of the screen.
