The embedded controller (EC) did not respond within the specified timeout period - Flex 15D

Hello,
I have an IdeaPad Flex 15D, and I have had several problems (mostly processor-related) in the time I have been using it. I contacted Customer Support twice, and finally did a system reset a few days ago after being told by Lenovo Support that my choices for fixing the problem were 1) Reset, or 2) Pay for a premium service to diagnose the problem. Needless to say (again), I went with option 1. So far I have not had any noticible problems with the processors, but there is a certain error showing up in the Event Viewer that I am concerned about. Lenovo Support has been next-to-useless troubleshooting my problems thus far, so I'm taking them here. The error is as follows:
(Event ID 13)
The embedded controller (EC) did not respond within the specified timeout period. This may indicate that there is an error in the EC hardware or firmware or that the BIOS is accessing the EC incorrectly. You should check with your computer manufacturer for an upgraded BIOS. In some situations, this error may cause the computer to function incorrectly.
Sounds like the BIOS needs an update, right? Well, I went straight to the Flex 15D drivers page, and guess what? I quote the drivers page: Bios update is not required for this product. Not required? So, Lenovo ships a broken BIOS and then refuses to support it? I don't know if Lenovo employees ever read this forum, so this might not be the best way to get their attention, but I am so fed up with Customer Support and I want this issue to be known to more than just a few unhelpful 'tech support' people. The Flex 15D isn't one of the more popular laptops out there, so I can't expect anyone reading this to be able to duplicate this problem or really provide any support, but if you have any suggestions whatsover, please reply to this thread. Like I said, I want people to know, and hopefully we can get Lenovo's attention so they can fix this problem.
Best regards,
Owen Dugmore

Hi,
I understand that you get the error message when performing a full crawl. I have seen similar cases caused by IE proxy settings. You can try to edit the Internet Options>Connections>LAN settings. Uncheck ‘Automatically detect settings’.

  • Error: Device\Ide\iaStor0, did not respond within the timeout period.

    Hello,
    In last few months, I began getting the error:
    The device, \Device\Ide\iaStor0, did not respond within the timeout period.
    My system hangs and slows to a crawl.  Error seems to be well-known, and solution is to install the latest version of Intel Matrix Manager, which is 8.6.   I've done this, I reinstalled my OS, and I've reinitialized my hard Raid1 array.  None of this has helped.
    http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/imsm/sb/cs-025783.htm
    Any suggestions?
    Thx.

    Have you tested HDD's with Seagate diagnostic utility?
    Going by the link you have provided I assume you are using Vista?
    Yes, I am using Vista and I did also use Sea Tools; no issue identified.  I'd love to hear more suggestions.  Things I've done:
    1.  Reformat / reinstall.  Helped, but problem not eliminated.
    2.  Ran SeaTools Disk Diagnostic.  No issue.
    3.  Installed Intel Matrix STorage, most recent version 8.6.  Should've fix prob, but didn't. 
    4.  Upgraded Bios from 7.5 to 7.9.
    Seems like the upgrade to Intel Matrix Storage Manager should've fixed this issue, but it didn't.   Any particular drive identified in the error message in the original post? 
    It is also not clear what changed to have introduced this error.  My system has been stable for 2 years and from the errors looks like I've had problems for the last 3 months, but they got notably worse in the last 2 weeks.  Reformatting / reinstall helped, but didn't eliminate these issues.  Any insight would be appreciated.

    HI,
    I got the error message in the crawl log as below after performing the Full Crawl
    This item could not be crawled because the repository did not respond within the specified timeout period. Try to crawl the repository at a later time, or increase
    the timeout value on the Proxy and Timeout page in search administration. You might also want to crawl this repository during off-peak usage times.
    To overcome the above error,many forums have suggested me to increase the time out which is under Farm level settings.But if time out gets increased,performance impacts as well.
    So please suggest me to overcome this error without increasing the timeout.Thanks in advance

    Are you able to connect to the database server from the same machine where you are running SJS Web Server using JDBC?

    Does it normally work? Is the error accompanied by other symptoms like application failure or unusually slow responses?

  • Alamouti 2x2 using USRP- PPL did not lock within the allotted time

    Hello.
    I've been trying to use the following example VI:
    http://www.ni.com/white-paper/13878/en/
    I can't understand how to connect the two USRPs 
    What clock source should I use? How should I connect it?
    right now I have my USRPs connected with a MIMO cable, and both are connected to my laptop with a gigabit switch.
    currently, when I'm tring to run the VI without the clock source, there is this error:
    niUSRP initiate.vi<ERR>The reference clock PPL did not lock within the alloted time.
    Thank you in advance.

    Sorry for the late reply, I did not have access to the lab over the weekend. 
    Yes I am uing HW configuration 1.  i set my IPs for the Txs and Rxs (4 NI 2921 boards), set the symbol rate, and appropriate IQ sampling rate. I then set the Tx element 1 Ref Frequency Source and timbase clock to internal. and for element 2 to be MIMO. I do the same for the Rx element 1 and element 2 as mentioned in the white paper. I set an appropriate carrier freq according to my machine (shown in snapshot below)
    I then run the code, and the error shown in the picture shows up. Apparently, the error code is not recognized. I also show a picture of the error recorded on the front panel (which is the actual error, that needs to looked at). I then re-wire the error out in the block diagram to be connected to the last block in the chain 'Calculate BER VI' (shown in the 3rd picture below) which was previously not the case. Now i rerun the VI, and the error showing up in the block diagram is gone but the error mentioned on the front panel is still there (which is normal becuase i have not changed anything important in the block diagram). 
    I look up this error 'Error -107411864 - A stream command was issued in the past' and find this NI-known issues document: http://www.ni.com/product-documentation/52445/en/ 
    And I see this error there. ID number 467209 (corresponding to the above error) . In this it states:
    This error occurs when you set Timebase Clock Source to PpsIn and do not provide a timebase clock source to the PPS IN port.
    If you set Timebase Clock Source to PpsIn and do not provide a timebase clock source to PPS IN, the USRP device will revert back to its internal timebase clock source. This may result in error -1074118649 "A stream command was issued in the past."
    Since I have not even setup the configuration on the front panel using the Ref_in and PPS_in (i have actually set them to internal) why am i still getting this error. 
    I also looked at the ID number '466351' in the same list (right below the prev one) and find out that also seems to be fine since not all of the follwing conditions are being met:
    The slave device has a GPSDO.
    The niUSRP Set Time VI is called only on the master.
    The timestamp is applied immediately.
    as mentioned in the description. 
    And since, there is a clear conflict between the white paper configuration designed for this 2x2 scheme (HW configuration 1) and the actual HW configuration corresponding to this same white paper (HW configuration 2), how can i expect the code to run without the Refi_in and PPS_in for all 4 devices (for sync between Transmitters and Recievers) which seems to important for this code to run properly. 
    I do not understand this error either 'A stream command was issued in the past' since i have not found a soultion to it online. 
    Now can you elaborate on what seems to be a conflict and elaborate on this error, which has been reported on other threads as well but the NI people do not seem to bother to respond as to why this is so.

    If the system information page is showing 3900, you should use 3900 in your studio settings.
    39xx is the new default for 2004s. It was 36xx with 2004. And xx is the instance number.

  • J2ee connection error, "The Message Server did not respond within 60 sec"

    Hi,
    I am facing the error "The Message Server did not respond within 60 sec. Please check if the message server is running.." when connecting to J2ee through NWDS.
    I am able to reach the index page via http://<ip address>:53500/index.html but yet unable to reach through NWDS.
    I have tried various combinations of host and port names like:
    Message Server Host : <ip address>, <host name>
    Message Server Port : 3636, 3936
    but still no luck.
    I've also cross checked the value of message server port by navigating to http://<IP address>:53500/monitoring/SystemInfo too, it is 3636.
    The telnet test (telnet <ip address> <port Number>) draws a blank window.
    I know this problem has been posted again and again, but then I am unable to understand what is the solution to this.
    Can someone please help me in resolving this issue?
    Note: [link 1|Unable to Connect to the J2EE Server from Netweaver Developer Studio; & [link 2|Developer Studio:Exception:The message server did not respond within 60 sec; are already checked.

    Hi Robin,
    Although I still haven't received any info from my colleagues regarding the central instance..
    Just a quick query, if we have NW04 we use 36** and if it is NW04S then we use 39** , is this the only difference for message server port?
    If that is the case, as I mentioned earlier, I have tried both, and one gave me N/A(3936) while the other gave me 'message server did not respond' error(3636).
    I have the message server host name & port , Enqueue Server Host name & Port and SDM PID and Port details with me..
    Can this be anyway useful in establishing a connection?
    Waiting for your inputs...
    Best Regards,
    Vinay

  • Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control ...

    Dear SapService,
    I've installed a BI7.0 (ABAP only) instance on cluster with :
    windows 2003 x64 SP2
    SQL server 2005 x64 SP2
    WAS 7.00 kernel 80
    *the service runs with domain user.
    I've upgraded to kernel 114 (latest). After the upgrade the ASCS service doesn't start. It throws error:
    "Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control
    request in a timely fashion"
    To solve this problem I've tried:
    -go back to kernel 80 but I still get the same error.
    -start the service manually on the second node. Still same error.
    -restart the two servers and try again to start the service on the
    nodes.
    Any ideas ?
    Please advice,

  • Process 000004 did not confirm within the permitted time period

    Hi
    The process chain failed while activating the ODS with an error message :Process 000004 did not confirm within the permitted time period" . When repeated the failed step it went successufull. but want to know what can be the cause and steps to be taken in order to avoide this issue further.
    Thanks
    Ratan

    Hi,
    Whenever ODS activation goes there'll be some batch processes you can say as parallel processes running along with main job. Due to unavailability of resources i.e either bkgd or dialog processes soemtimes gets delayed and they gets canceled which leads to the failure of main ODS activation job...
    may be in ur scenario the same thing might have happened, so when you had repeated the step if the resources are free it will be successful.
    once chk in your system for canceled jobs, ther might be some job which relates to your process.

  • OS X Server / VPN /The L2TP-VPN server did not respond...HELP!

    I am very new to OS X Server and my goal is to setup DNS & VPN!  I would like to have this setup to be able to connect into my apple computer from work or friends house.  I am using an Apple Airport Extreme router and im also using the latest version OS X Mountain Lion with OS X Server installed.  I have started an account with dyndns website for user host name (using a [email protected] address). I assume this would be used as an alternate way of being able to connect without starting a personal website.  I also signed up for another site (no-ip) and I now have a different IP address (not sure if that was necessary). I then followed instructions on youtube (instructional videos by todd for OS X Server Mountain Lion) which seemed to be very easy to understand. But after setting up my VPN on the client side (network setting in system preferences), i tried to connect VPN (L2TP) and i receive this error message "The L2TP-VPN server did not respond. Try reconnecting. If the problem continues, verify your settings and contact your Administrator.". When I open Consol in the utilities folder, I am seeing part of the following message below;
    racoon[117]: IKE Packet: transmit success. (Phase1 Retransmit).
    racoon[117]: IKE Packet: receive failed. (malformed or unexpected cookie).
    pppd[490]: IPSec connection failed
    Does anyone know what's happening or what I need to do to fix this?  Or can someone tell me the basic requirements to setting things up correctly?

    Im using Comcast for my ISP and from the wall I have a Motorola Surfboard 6120 cable modem (not sure how to access my setting on the modem). So basically I have my 6120 cable modem connected to the Apple AirportExtreme router and is then wirelessly connected to my macbook pro.  im providing screen shots of my apple router settings, OS X Server settings and firewall (which is turned off) settings.  Any suggestion on how i should set things up or if you can tell me step by step would be greatly appreciated.

  • Windows Phone Emulator is unable to connect to the Windows Phone operating system: The phone did not respond to the connect request. Some functionality might be disabled

    request. Some functionality might be disabled.”
    I have tried all possible ways that we found on blogs. We are still not able to solve this issue

    I have had a lot of issues with the emulator in the past.
    Check out this troubleshooting guide. It might help:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj681694(v=vs.105).aspx
    Also, I find that if I cancel my build/deploy while it is stuck on booting the OS and then wait a short while the phone OS will complete booting, and from that point I can deploy to the emulator. It's a workaround, but it works well for me.
    I need to do that on Windows 10 tech preview, which may or may not be simply an incompatibility with the beta OS.
    I'm a self-taught noob amateur. Please take this into account when responding to my posts or when taking advice from me.
