T61p Drivers

Does Lenovo have a piece of software that would check my machine for outdated drivers, give me a report and allow me to select which drivers to automatically install? I ran a third party app on my laptop and it came back with 26 "out dated" drivers. I'm trying to avoid individually updating each driver.
Also, how do I find what BIOS version I'm running? Quite sure it's out of date too. Thanks.

T61p + Windows 7 64bit + Intel AMT Drivers.

Hi all,
I've recently installed Windows 7 x64 on my T61p (6459-CTO). I've installed the drivers and all the devices and running fine except two:
PCI Serial Port
PCI Simple Communications Controller
After a failing to find drivers for these, I googled the issue and found that it is quite likely related to Intel AMT. So I've searched for the Windows 7 drivers for Intel AMT for my laptop but I can't see any.
I've installed and run Lenovo System Update v4 and it hasn't picked it up although the Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox Diagnotics does alert that the drivers are missing for the 2 devices. However, it too doesn't show where to get them from.
There seem to be a lot of posts for this issue for the T400/T500 models but nothing for the T61p.
Any help would be appreciated!
Solved!

I experienced the same issue, and here is my resolution for my t61p running windows 7 x64:
download the 2 AMT drivers from the lenovo driver site:
Local Manageability Service and Serial Over LAN (Intel AMT 2.6)
Windows Vista, XP
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67881
Management Engine Interface (Intel AMT 2.6)
Windows Vista, XP
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67880
Let the files extract to their folders (using the downloaded exe files) (C:\drivers\win\amt and \amtsol)
for the PCI Serial Port, tell the update driver wizard to look in c:\drivers\win\amtsol
for the PCI Simple Communications Controller tell it to look in c:\drivers\win\amt
this should locate the missing drivers for you.

T61p Nvidia drivers - new drivers give jerky DXVA playback

I gave another shot at installing the latest drivers for my Nvidia FX 570M, but it seems that CUDA does work well when there are other applications running in the background. When I play 1080p (or 720p)mkv files, there is a jerkyness, audio and video halts for a few seconds and then it resumes.
With the old drivers from Lenovo, everything seemed fine, but the drivers did seem to have a few bugs in the interface, or retaining the settings for increased refresh rate.
Does anyone else have these issues?
Thanks,

It seems like the problem is a conflict with other applications that use hardware acceleration. I disabled it in Firefox, and now video playback is fine.
I wonder if I should alert Nvidia or Mozilla about the problem. Given the problem has consistently been with newer drivers, it seems like it is Nvidia's responsibility.

Bluetooth drivers/enabled on T61P WINDOWS 8

Hi,
I am running Win 8 32bits on my Lenovo T61P.
> I have properly installed HotKey feature which works fine
> Bios indicate Bluetooth <Enabled>
> the front switch is on <on> position
When I press Fn+F5 I only have the new "charm" Windows 8 slide on the right which displays WiFi Only.
In the <Turn wireless device on or off> in control panel, I dont have any Bluetooth item.
I tried couple of drivers found on Lenovo website, no way I can find anything working.
Does any other users make it work ? Any link to recommend ?
Thank you!

Hello and welcome,
Do you see anything about bluetooth if you follow the path below?
Bring up Settings charm. At the bottom it says "Change PC Settings". That looks like the title of the settings above (to me) but it's a link. Click it. Then click "wireless" on the left.

Latest Release 265 Series Nvidia Drivers for Lenovo T61p?

I ran 3DMark06 this evening on my T9300 T61p and got my usual 4460 Benchmark Score .... however, the benchmark's results page today lists a newer Nvidia Quadro FX notebook series driver available for my WinXP 32-bit system directly from Nvidia.
At the Nvidia site it looks like it's Nvidia's Verde Notebook Release 265 Series v266.58 WQHL Certified display driver, released in January 2011, which claims support for notebooks using Quardro FX 570M graphics.
The Nvidia download site is found here:
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx
I selected from the Nvidia Menu:
Quadro , then
Quadro FX Series (notebooks) , then
Quardro FX 570M , then
Quardro Graphics Driver , (from a choice of 5 different drivers for different scenarios), then
Windows XP , then
English , then
Search
Anyone tried this driver setup yet?
Two (I used to have Five) - T61p 15.4" WS T9300 2.5Ghz units, August 08/08 Builds with FX570M Nvidia Graphics; ... One W520 i7-2860QM w/2000M Nvidia Graphics (most recent acquisition and stupidly fast); .... One - T42 4:3 15" Flexview 1.8GHz with ATI Graphics (still perfect for traveling); ... Two - T500 15.4" units both with ATI HD3650 Graphics.

My advice is proceed with caution. Latest drivers aren't always the best option. I'd also read the release notes and see what was done to them. Driver updates are often issued for non-issues and won't make any difference. Here is an example of a ficticous update reason.
Bugfix: driver cause BSOD crash on dell XPS model XXX to YYY when entering hibernation
Such an update would never be picked up by Lenovo because it won't matter to any lenovo computer, and if you constantly update to the latest drivers, you're not avoiding problems, your making yourself little more then a beta tester running new code that could turn out to be unstable.
My motto is... if it's not broke, don't fix it!!!

Official 2009 Lenovo T61/T61p Nvidia Video Drivers: Please Consider One Last Update for the Road

The title of this new thread says it all ..... 3 years since the last offical Lenovo T61/T61p Nvidia Video Driver Package release ..... a virtual lifetime in computer science years.
I'm looking for advice on how to best lobby the technical folks at Lenovo (by phone or here on the Forums) for one last official Lenovo "Nvidia" video driver update for our T61 and T61p units.
Lenovo's most current "ancient" 2009 Nvidia driver packages (found here),
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS001342
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS003876
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS003605
all leave quite a bit of 3D (and some 2D) performance laying out there on the table based on my own testing with current modern Nvidia reference drivers on a cloned test mule hard drive (and never once crashed with the newer Nvidia reference drivers under WinXP 32-bit or Win7 32 bit).
Most all the major 3D gaming benchmarks were nearly doubled, and most importantly, my real world qualitative performance experience seemed even greater than the nearly doubled quantitative benchmark results.
I'm wondering if starting this new thread would be of any benefit to encourage the good folks at Lenovo to consider one last update after 3+ years?
Before I go to the trouble of posting my results, it is my hope that Lenovo could simply try the latest Nvidia reference drivers for themselves, tweak them (if even necessary) and then issue one last offical T61/T61p Nivida driver package update for the road .... hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of T61/T61p w/Nvidia GPU units are still in reliable daily service.
http://www.geforce.com/drivers
Something to please consider.

Hi eecon
It is considered fortunate that Lenovo provides newer driver for newer OS even after the system was phased out. From what I know, most of the OEM / manufacturers do not provide drivers for newer version of Windows when the product is phased out.
Furthermore, graphic card vendors (e.g. NVIDIA, Intel, AMD, etc.) oftenly release new drivers and it is hard for manufacturers to catch up with them. Usually, the purpose of OEM providing new driver is to resolve existing issues. If you need performance, get newer drivers directly from vendors website.
Have a nice day!

Windows 7 RTM drivers and native nVidia Drivers for T61p here, supports CUDA

Since this seems scattered, I thought I would post these links to see if they help anyone.
Get your Windows 7 RTM drivers here:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/WIN7-BETA.html
Get your nVidia 570M Windows 7 drivers, supports CUDA, x32 and x64 here:
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=nvidia%20quadro%20570M%20Windows%207
I have updated my T61p with all the RTM drivers and have been using this nVidia driver for about 2 weeks. Flawless.
There are many nVidia cards on this Microsoft site, I have only tested the 570M drivers. Feel free to search for your model of driver if you have something else.
My be old news for people, but if it helps anyone, then great.
-Paul

I wasn't aware that Microsoft had this sort of thing available. Now that I installed Microsoft's 570m driver, my NVIDIA Control Panel actually works. I previously did an install by manually selecting the file after downloading and extracting the driver from NVIDIA's website.
On a side note, both the Microsoft site driver and the slightly newer NVIDIA driver give me the same performance index scores (5.8 `graphics` and 6.1 `gaming graphics`) so I would reccomend using the Microsoft one since the Control Panel works with it.

T61p: SATA (AHCI) & ATA drivers, Win. 7 64-bit?

I have a T61p running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. ThinkVantage System Update recommends that I install the “Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver for Windows 64bit”, version v8.9.2.1002, which it tells me has not been previously installed. When I try to do so, it tells me that the installation has failed.
Notes with this driver indicate that it works with the following controllers:
Intel(R) 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH8M-E/ICH9M-E/M SATA RAID Controller.
However, my machine’s Device Manager shows that it (at least thinks) it has the following controllers:
Intel(R) ICH8M SATA AHCI Controller – 2829 with an Intel driver, version 7.0.0.1013, dated 2010/06/08
Intel(R) ICH8M Ultra ATA Storage Controllers - 2850 with a Microsoft driver, version 6.1.7601.17514, dated 2006/06/21
(and ‘ATA channel’ controllers and the Ricoh card reader, etc controller). So perhaps it’s not surprising that ThinkVantage System Update gets confused.
I’m bothered by this because I’m about to upgrade the original Hitachi Travelstar 160 GB primary HDD with a Seagate Momentus XT 750 GB hybrid hard drive, and I would like my machine to have the most up-to-date driver for its AHCI controller. (I’m not planning a RAID configuration, but I want the best shot at getting NCQ working* and avoiding problems with matching 6 Gb/s to 1.5 Gb/s SATA speeds.)
So my question is: How can I ensure I have the latest drivers for these controllers? A Google search yields conflicting information...
I would be very grateful for any responses.
(*Apparently, “Windows Vista and Windows 7 also natively support AHCI, but their AHCI support (via the msahci service) must be manually enabled via registry editing if controller support was not present during their initial install.”)
Best regards,
Cian Buckley

Hello,
My understanding (and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong) is that all ThinkPad T61p's use Intel's 965 chipset.
The latest chipset device drivers are v9.3.1.1019 and available from here on Intel's support site.
The latest storage device drivers are b10.8.0.1003 and available from here on Intel's support web site.

T61p network drivers for windows 7.

Hi I thought the t61 uses the intel 82566mm network card? I've downloaded the drivers from intel but they say there is not intel card installed. I need to install the intel drivers with ANS so I can configure some vlans.

there are several variants of wireless card used in the T61.
You can which wireless card is used by looking at your parts list.

Hi xahrepap, and welcome to the Lenovo Community!
