Thinking about a lenovo s10

Hi guys. I'm about ready to jump into the netbook wave, and I have decided it will be none other than a Lenovo laptop ( used IBM before, but lenovo is an improved continuation). I have a few questions though:
Does it support 64 bit extensions, and if not, can I upgrade in the future?
Will it support dual core CPU in the future (separate upgrade)
Can I mod the bios splash screen to display a diffrent image?
These are the only questions on my mind. I am not even going to ask about quality. Its a givin coming from Lenovo/IBM
X41T: Dead from a power surge during a BIOS Flash!

Hmmm...wonder what kind of performance improvement the N280 has over the N270? Anyone know?
Also, has anyone heard anything about an improved screen on the S10 ?
HP's new 2140 will be available in March with a 1366x768 resolution screen (or so I read on another forum).
If true, that would interest me, since my primary use of the S10 is for photo display.

Installing XP Pro on Lenovo S10-2

Hello.
I have the full legal version of XP Pro and I am having issues installing this on my new Lenovo S10-2.
I have the regular CD (Orig XP - no Service Packs) as well as XP Pro with SP3 slipstreamed into it.
It will not install either of these.... I have tried installed from external CD-Rom's and USB Stick.
I do IT work and I am having issues... so I asked my company's IT dept to have a look -
This is the email from them:
"Wednesday, July 22, 2009 6:03:43 PM by IT Dept:
Used the external DVD writer as a CD drive to load WinXP pro.
Netbook saw the drive & got started but stopped at blue screen of death before reaching the 1st navigation screen.
Tried dumbing down the drive with a plain CD-ROM drive on a tether & got the same result.
Tried launching an upgrade from Windows already on the netbook & make some progress, but as soon is it rebooted, it could not continue & had a "drive read error".
Tried turning the resident O/S back from SP3 to SP2 & tried my WinXP install CD but got a similar result.
Fellow IT's brother is a superior tech who has some practical experience with netbooks.
His first recommendation coincided with what the blue screen said: scan for infections & run CheckDisk.
He recommended MbAm.
Slaved HDD to STtest & swept with MbAm: nothing found.
Ran chkdsk.exe & also did well.
He scanned some forums & found that Microsoft has gone out of their way to make sure netbooks could not be upgraded.
Gave up on it & informed user."
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions please?
I have to have XP Pro to be able to use this on my companies network.
Thanks so much!
Sam

Hi,  thanks for more information about that ..
in BIOS is Configuration page SATA Controller working mode the only user setting from Compatible & AHCI....
i never changed this, cause on my S10e i could install everything without any change...
The only one thing i do not with windows itself is partition & formating with acronis Diskmanager before install,
i delete all exitsting partitions & repartitioned given minimum 20- 30 GB active NTFS & the rest 120 GB logic for data & room for backup with acronis trueimage...
i never do this with windows itself.....
..you says ...the only menu option gives you 32GB is strange, whole harddrive must be 149,05 GigaByte =160 GB...
if harddrive could be never partitioned, even with other computer... the harddrive have a faulty or wrong firmware...
try in BIOS F9 for setup defaults and then these AHCI & Compatible settings in BIOS ... (AHCI is default)
i always have 2 or more other harddrives (the one i used as provingground for all new scenarios is the little 160 GB   )... at last option i would try other harddrive (fresh or complete unpartition)...
sincerely KalvinKlein.   .

Alt key stucks (not physically) in my lenovo s10-3t

Alt key stucks in my lenovo s10-3t and i have to press it 2 or 3 times to release it .... i encourted this problem in tablet mode so i think that this is not a physical keyboard problem ...

due to i don't have s10-3t, i suggest you to check the manuals first. it should have some informations about cleaning the keyboard.

Lenovo S10-3 Fan Control (Linux) and overheating

Good day to everyone.
Let me describe the situation. My Lenovo S10-3 is always hot (even in idle) and uses internal fan very often. It irritates very much because fan is noisy (service found no problem).
Sensors: acpi-tz ~60C, core ~50C (idle).
But even fan is disabled (connector is pulled out from motherboard) temperature becomes not much higher --- approx 65-70C.
Now, the question: is there any way to override BIOS fan control values? (e.g. 55C="Fan on" to 60C="Fan On")
For the S10 series there is program named "Fan Control", but it doesn't work on S10-3 and this program is for MS Windows only. Can anyone give comprehensive ansver/guide how to control fan speed (or on/off temperature values) using native linux tools or special program? It might be very useful for others who experiences the same problem. Thanks.

The heatsink is not connected to the surface of CPU and GPU and this is why you said that disabling the fan doesn't make any difference in the temperature. There are two pieces of thermal pad on the CPU and GPU.They are actually unusable. Remove them. Put thermal paste on the surface of CPU and GPU and heatsink and then put a piece of copper on CPU and GPU. This will make connection between heatsink and surface of CPU. This will make the fan usefull . Do this at your own risk (There is no risk. But use suitable pieces of copper is very important.) Using google will help you find about this issue

Lenovo s10-2 won't detect camera

Hello, I've had my lenovo s10-2 for a couple of months and the camera was working fine and then it stopped working it. It does not detect it any more. Any advice?
I have windows XP home edition and SP2

A family member of mine has the same problem on his S-10. I've been researching the dickens out of this.
Finally determined that if I opened the lid (display) about half way, the camera would be found and connected as if I plugged it in to the USB. Camera worked too.
I took the unit apart and found the very fine wires bound in a woven sheathing that connect the USB camera to system board go right past the hinge in a somewhat precarious way. And with enough opening and closing the display they apparently frey as I believe has happened in this case and ultimately break.
Note part #4 in this picture. This camera cable "44C9901" would need to be replaced.

Unless you have experience with laptop repair and/or are certified with Lenovo devices, I would not recommend you try to repair this yourself.
This S10 is not much beyond a year old. It is used opened/closed and used multiple times daily. Bottom line. The design isn't what it should be.

New Lenovo S10 Model Info Please

I would like to know when the new model of the S10 series will be released, i found this article on Cnet.com http://ces.cnet.com/8301-19167_1-10130797-100.html?tag=mncol;title and i wanted to know when these features would be avalible, or if they are already avalible but just not listed on the website. The features are the new splashtop or quickstart OS and the veriface security program. Any information woule be great, i am very egar to get my Lenovo S10 netbook and have been waiting a very long time for these features to come out. And if there is something newer that is going to come out hardware or software wise, could anyone who knows please say so here. i want to get the newest version of the netbook that i can.
Thank you!

my S10e also included both.. but i think veriface is just a marketing hype as its nearly useless..

Lenovo S10-t3 Mutli touch issue

Hello Forum, i recently purchased the lenovo S10-t3 but i have just found out that windows 7 Starter, doesnt support multi touch, is this true? or is there a way around it? or do i have to fork out MORE money to upgrade to a higher version of windows 7?
i was not told this when i bought it....
Figures....
Lenovo should sell this laptop with a higher version of windows 7 on it, what is the point in selling a laptop that has multi touch, when you cant even use it...
anyways, any help would be appreciated =)
Solved!

i think you solved your issue ( marked the thread as solved )
by the way, do not forget to create "current system back-up". if you don't, when you perform clean windows installation, okr will install windows starter.

Lenovo S10 crash

Well, i am using a Lenovo S10 with upgraded ram to 2048 megabytes.
I recently installed veriface software. Everything went downhill fast from there. After i installed it, XP started crashing everywhere(you could see a flash of the blue screen before it almost instantaneously powers down). Then, on top of that, Linux mint started to crash as well. So, i decided to format my computer using a live cd of ubuntu to get to the partition editor (saving my documents folder of course ) After i formatted everything, i ran XP and it loaded all files fine until it said it was loading the installer. From here it hangs on the blue screen until I turn the thing off. After much pain, i finally got ubuntu to actually install. It ran fine for a little while and then it started to crash violently as well. Programs run and sometimes load before they quit. It crashes completely if the program does not quit automatically.
I think it might be because veriface was a 64 bit program running on a 32 bit machine. I think it is hardware related now. I ran a disk check before i actually installed ubuntu and it found 1 "bad" file. I just need a way to end the crashing and be able to run an OS without it kicking the bucket. I cannot do much on the actual computer due to the frequent crashing. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I agree with hpholm
the symptom of your described crashes
is your memoryupgrade is the faulty ...
i bet you can easily install all systems xp,mint,ubuntu with the onboard 512 mb memory .. without any fault...
when you plug in the extra memory 2GB stick, the system will crash...
i prefer a corsair memory 2GB 667 MHz ...for the lenovo s series

I have an iphone 4 and thinking about getting an ipad2. Can i use the same apple id for both devices?

I have an iphone 4 and I am thinking about getting an ipad2. Can I use the same apple id and itunes account with both of them? Will my contacts and apps transfer over to the iPad2?

Yes. I use the same Apple ID on four different iDevices. You can sync the contacts with iCloud or with your computer and have them on both devices. You can sync all of the apps as well. If the apps are not in iTunes on your computer - you can download them to the iPad with the same Apple ID. You can also restore the iPad from a backup of the phone to transfer your settings, app data and your contacts.
iPhone only apps will be half size on the iPad screen but will still work as long - you can enlarge the size of the apps - but they will be pixelated on the screen.

I cant sign in to i-cloud with my new apple id i signed out of the old one and when i try to log in i just get the 'thinking about it' logo. this lasts for ages and doesn't sign me in. help!

Hi, i have recently purchased an i-phone 4s and had been merrily playing away and set up an i cloud account. However when i tried to access i cloud from my pc i couldn't verify it. I had to change my apple id because i no longer had access to my old e-mail. I managed to sort out my i-phone and change all the accounts to my new apple i.d (except game centre? don't know how to do that yet.) but when i signed out of my old i-cloud account on my pc and tried to sign in with my new apple id it just tries to connect (i get the i'm thinking about it wheel) for ages; not allowing me to log on.
Help!

Content (apps, music, ibooks, films etc) is tied to the account that originally downloaded it, so if the iBooks app was downloaded using the account that you used to share with your ex then only that account can download updates to it. As it's a free app you could delete it and re-download it under your own account - and then re-download your ibooks into it (or copy the books to your computer's iTunes first via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them back to the app).

I've been reading the comments re FCPX on MacBook Pro and now I'm scared. I'm taking a class now and thinking about buying to do videos for nonprofits. Won't be fancy stuff, but now wonder if it's a good choice. Also, heard Apple will drop support. Help?

Won't be fancy stuff, but now wonder if it's a good choice. Also, a classmate who was in CA last weekend said he heard that Apple will drop support of FCPX. Any truth? Advice?. I'm on 10.7.4 with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz. Thanks.

While it is against the TOU of these boards to speculate on future products/updates what Thomas said is right: FCPX is quite a new product and it doesn't make any sense to drop it now.
The only thing that MIGHT get dropped at a certain point is support for older hardware/OS as FCP X progresses.

I am thinking about upgrading to PSE 13. How many computers can you install it on? I have a desktop at work and a desktop and laptop at home. I would like to install it on all three.
