The T510 T520 and so on touchpad replacement
I'd like to exchange the touchpad (not the whole palmrest) in Lenovo T520. How to make it not so that all work and look corectly?
Solved!
Go to Solution.
You can buy something like this: click me! (I don't have any affilliation with the seller!! Buy at your own risk)
Then you'll need to remove the palmrest turn it up and undo few screws, replace the parts. Then put the new palmrest back. I did it with a couple of T510/W510, it was fairly easy. Unfortunately it is not documented in the HMM.
Eventually you may find a complete palmrest for less money though... Keep your eyes open

Probably will never ever think of buying a locked phone from AT&T cause its one of the worst system integrations ever that these companies could think of.
The entire problem started when I put in a request with at&t to unlock my iphone 4s (ios7) which did get approved. I performed the entire instructions they asked me to do, which is to backup and restore. After doing those instructions my iphone gave me an error message below
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
The SIM card that you currently installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.
Basically saying that at&t hasn't still unlocked the iphone which a really helpful apple executive was able to confirm. I initiated another unlock process from at&t in order to unlock the iphone, just to be sure that its not something wrong from my end. The nice at&t lady stayed on chat with me to unlock the iphone step my step while I was calling the apple tech too. And the apple tech confirmed again that the iphone is locked to at&t.
Now, just a few minutes ago I tried another restore to see if any progress is being made and to my surprise I got an error message saying
Replacement Needed. This iphone is not able to complete the activation process and needs to be replaced. Please visit your nearest apple store or authorized service center.
I feel like I am just going around these two different "money hogger" companies which set certain rules and regulations to screw a regular phone buyer. I purchased this iphone in USA and trying to unlock in India, is it really this hard to simply unlock a device.
For now I am going to try to call a apple office in india (apprently we don't have very many out here) and see if they can help me. But any other assistance regarding unlocking an iphone 4s would be helpful. I have however, tried checking IMEI.info, called up apple, talked to at&t (which always say go talk to apple) I do have a case number from apple as well in case an apple executive reads this discussion forum (case number: 566383594)
ThanksYou got a confirmation from AT&T that it was authorized. Is this correct? - Yes i did get an email authorization on the 21st.
Then you connected the phone to a computer with the latest version of iTunes installed. You clicked on the phone's name in iTunes, then clicked "Backup Now". - Yes
When that finished you clicked "Restore iPhone" (NOT "Restore Backup") - Yes
Are you with me so far? - Yes.
And @ Varjak is right that after the 3rd restore I get the replacement error.
Plus I have NEVER jailbroken the iPhone. To give you another update, I spoke to a really nice apple tech in India who was atleast able to get me out of the replacement error by doing a recovery mode option. However, the lastest restore still gives me the same error

My laptop y510p has an issue for the third time and i need a replacement
my y510p laptop got an issue for three times and i need a replacement
i bought it in april/2014 and more than 2 and half months wasted for maintenance.
first time:
after few weeks i got problem with screen colors and i sent the laptop and the problem was in the motherboard and they replaced it.
second time:
i got it from maintenance center with 2 issues:
1- camera wasn't working
2- suddenlly freeze from time to time , sometime a blue screen appear after , i need to turnoff laptop from the power button to work again and it takes so long to open after that.
i sent the laptop again.
note: maintenance center claims that there wasn't any issue and even the camera that they told me that they fixed it they didn't wirte it in report. that's what i figured out when i talked with lenovo customer services
third time:
suddenly freeze from time to time again when i tried to enter bios immediatly after freeze happen i found that
harddisk wasn't appearing.
so i sent it again and i asked for replacement
maintenance replied that it's a motherboard and hardisk issues.
stayed there for 45 days and i called them for like 7 times to know what is the reply on my request and every time they ask me to wait more.
today i called them and they told me that the request of replacement is refused ...!
and they told me to post a message here if i insist on replacement.
laptop serial no:xxxxxxxxx
Mod comment: Removed Serial number for posters security.It´s crazy how many people have the same kind of problems with this computer.. and what´s even worse is that it seems that the only option is to send it to Lenovo for a motherboard replacement. I have the same problem (mainboard dead) but unluckily for me, my y510p is out of warranty (I only used it for like 4-5 months then it was stored while I was away). Everyday I get on the internet to look for a motherboard replacement myself but I just can´t find any.. Why is that?
Also, this is a "new" computer, if I´m not wrong it was released around the end of 2013. How is it that they already discontinued it? Do they usually discontinue their products that fast? Or is it perhaps all these Y510P computers had problems from production? How can someone spend over a thousand dollars, use the computer for a few months (normal use, not even gaming..) and one day is dead and the motherboard needs replacement?? Why nobody really complains about this? I really don´t know what to do as that were all my money. I really just want to get rid of this crap and never ever buy Lenovo again and never ever recommend it to anyone. I don´t even feel secure spending the money on a motherboard replacement because it seems to me that the problem will come back. Because as I said this seems to be a problem in their production of this particular model. Again, over a thousand dollars computer and its quality is worst than the cheapest ones.. shame on Lenovo. -

my iphone 5 screen has been cracked but i recently dropped my phone again and the whole screenpopped out. its still attached by a black cord but now the whole screen is just black and i cant use it at all. will the apple store replace my screen or will i have to get a whole new iphone?
You may need to buy an entirely new iPhone. Before when the screen was just cracked you could have got an out of warranty replacement for a fee but now the screen has popped out and will most likely be classed as catastrophic damage.
At the link http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/ it says:
What type of damages are not covered by my warranty?
Apple's Limited Warranty for iPhone excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications. Please review the warranty for further details.
An iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service may be eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service. For example, an iPhone that has failed due to damage or liquid damage is ineligible for warranty service but eligible for OOW service. However, certain damage is ineligible for OOW service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details. Refer to this article to check if the Liquid Contact indicator on your product has been triggered.
If your iPhone is not eligible for warranty service, you may wish to contact your carrier for other options.
So all you can do is take it into a Store and they will make the decision. -
is there any cheap way to fix a burnt wifi chip on iphone 4s ios 7.1?
No. How do you know the wifi chip is burned? If you or someone other than
Apple opened the iPhone to inspect the chips, the warranty was voided. Be
glad Apple is offering you a chance at an Out of Warranty replacement as
that was lost when the iPhone was opened.
Apple does not repair iPhones, but replaces them with another unit. -
T500, T510, T520 apsx86.sys BSODs
Hey,
I work with Lenovo Machines at my university, and we have been getting many apsx86.sys BSODs (0x000000F7 error codes). A quick Google search told me that it's something to do with ThinkVantage Active Protection Service. Our current solution is to reimage the machine(s) and the user will have no more issues.
From what I've personally dealt with, The T520's BSOD as soon as windows loads up, same apsx86.sys BSOD and F7 error code. The T510's and 500's don't seem to BSOD during boot, but rather a couple minutes after logging in. We haven't had any issues with our x200, x201 or x220 tablets.
How can we prevent this BSOD, and is it possible to fix? (Computers do -not- boot in safemode either).
Thanks.Sorry for the delay, I should have specified.
We are using Windows 7 32bit
I checked the Thinkvantage Active Protection System, and the working computers are on version 171. I do not know if it is updating to 1.74 and causing this issue as I do not have a test computer right now.
We do not use any encryption software, as they are computers for only students and faculty. I have a x201 Tablet, with a fully encrypted HDD using TrueCrypt. I am on Windows 7 64bit and running version ThinkVantage APS 1.71 No issues with my computer. I will update to 1.75 as soon as I backup some documents. I need a reason to format again anyway. =).
I'll get a kernel dump as soon as I find a client who is experiencing this issue, or if I can replicate it on a test machine. For now, I do not have access to either. I will ask the asset department for a couple test machines (one of each of the T500 series) tomorrow, as they close in 30 minutes.
Thank you for the assistance someotherguy. -

Keep looking.
Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. Something as small as an iPod should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries. -

Can I have the back panel of my iPhone 5s replaced (it is damaged, but the phone is still operational) if i come into an Apple store?
I have applecare plus, but this only covers operational issues or 2 accidental issues (ex., water damage, drop and phone operation is affected).
Apple would not be willing to charge me for the back panel and labor involved in replacing it?
Thanks. -

Hello! My IPAD 4G Wi Fi was stolen in Kiev, 17.05.2011. Is it possible to locate its location if the services iCloud and Find My iPhone have not been configured.
If it is possible what should I do to find it?
I have already applied to the police. But I also heard that if you contact the company Apple, they can quickly find the iPad police. Is this true?No.

Is this problem affecting most users? I heard that it usually takes abotu 2-3 weeks after getting a replacement that these problems might occur and I don't wanna shell out a lot of money only to have to constantly go to the apple store and get a new replacement regardless if it is free.
I currently have a defective lock/sleep button on my iPhone 5. After putting up with it for 3 weeks, I took it to an apple store. The "genius" told me that because I'm 50 days over my year warranty, I would have to pay $280 to get a replacement. They will not fix the problem. They can only give you a refurbished phone. BEWARE: the replacement is only free if the phone is still within the one year warranty or if you have an extended apple care. I'm still blown away on the fact that I payed $500 for a product that defected in a little over a year and be told by a condescending apple genius that I have to pay $280 to resolve the problem. My friends who have Samsungs and HTCs have 2 year old phones that work as well as the day they bought them. I had a blackberry for almost 3 years and had no issues at all, but a highly advanced, "well made" apple product barely lasted a year. My wife's iPhone 4S shuts off when the battery drops to 30%. And of course the guys at the Genius Bar say they can't help. I shouldn't have to pay for a replacement unless I did the damage myself. I've been an iPhone user since the first iPhone. And every year, I've had something break right after the warranty expires (failed audio jack on iPhone 1, failed earphone on iPhone 3G, failed home button on iPhone 4). It's getting really old spending a lot of money on cheap products and having to deal with the "better-than-you" swagger from the Genius Bar.

T60 Touchpad Replaced and not Working
I recently replaced my touchpad (palmrest) and plugged it in. I actually have to disable it in bios in order to use my trackpoint. I have the most recent drivers and utility for Ultra Nav.
When I select to activate my touchpad in the bios settings, I then get a warning triangle, and my trackpoint becomes "hidden" in the device manager and inoperable, I can't use it.
Any ideas on how to ge both working? I feel I am close!!
JMollyMoo wrote:
Thanks for the reply,
The touchpad does show up in the bios, so I think the system board is whole, but who knows. I just tried to boot up with the trackpoint disabled and the touchpad automatic, and the problem I explained before where the device manager shows the ultranav pointing device with a warnign triangle and hidden. I think the synaptics driver files for the trackpoint are the same for the touchpad.
Is there way to test or check the system board?
Most diagnostic tests will be inconclusive. There are specific ways to test the system board, but it's not something you'd want to do, it would be far less work and cheaper to simply replace it then diagnose it, but getting back to your problem... you didn't answer my question, so lets start from the beginning....
You replaced the palmrest/touchpad assembly... Why?
Does the replacement have the same problem as the original?
If I wanted to dianose the problem I'd do it the fastest and cheapest way possible, by pluggin in a known good part and seeing if it works. That sure beats tracing and testing microscopic circuits for hours, something that lenovo repair centers don't even do, they simply replace parts. Used T60 parts are cheap, so whatever you may need shouldn't be a problem to get.
Regarding your drivers... windows generic drivers will work, and I've never seen the problems you describe, but if you've installed improper drivers, it could have caused such a problem, but again, I really don't know what you did, or even what started all this and what problem you were trying to fix, but if you want to see if this problem is hardware or software, you can try booting from a Linux LiveCD, boot up with option to make no changes to your system and see if both trackpoint and touchpad work using Linux, if they do, then you have a driver problem, in which case I'd uninstall all mouse devices and reboot. Windows "should" enable generic mouse driver so you can use the system, then it would only be a matter of installing the proper drivers, , but do this AFTER you've determined it's software, not as a test, or you'd be likely to just complicate things even more.
You can get a Linux LiveCD at Ubuntu.com.
