  • Thinkpad edge 0578 possibly incomplete recovery disks

    My gf said her lenovo is getting slow so I decided to get her an SSD and do a fresh install of win7 on it. She has 3 DVDs created which I believe believe from the lenovo Rescue and recovery software.They are
    DVD1) lenovo recovery boot.
    DVD2) lenovo recovery data1.
    DVD3) lenovo recovery data2.
    I swapped in the SSD  and booted with the DVD labeled as "recovery boot" and i enter the lenovo recovery screen with 3 options
    1) quick restore (grayed out, cant be selected)
    2) full restore
    3) rescue files.
    I chose full restore and select DVD/CD to locate backup , but it didn't find anything. I subsequently put in DVD2 and DVD3 , it didn't find any backup and prompted for a "final C" DVD. At this point I'm thinking GF didn't create her recovery disk properly. I popped in her original HDD and try to create another recovery disk but it says it can only be done once.
    Do you think she's missing a final C disk? 
    Is there a way to move forward with installing win 7 on her SSD besides recovery DVD from lenovo?
    Her laptop model is thinkpad edge 0578 , win 7 home edition. she bought it 2 years ago and it's probably out of warranty.

    Hi,
    I"m surprised that your recovery media didn't install all the original drivers.  It should have AFAIK.
    If your recovery media is old enough to pre-date SP1 _and_ youve installed an advanced format drive (most HDDs are these days) that could explain the windows update problem.
    In that case, this KB should help: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-7-Knowledge-Base/Windows-Update-Fails-After-Installing-New-Hard-...
    Once you get win update running try again to get ThinkVantage System Update installed.  That should get your drivers updated.

  • ? Wireless Drivers - Only connects with Ethernet connection.

    Hello!
    Thinkpad Edge 0578 14 -
    I have to reinstall win 7. Now the wireless won't  turn ( I tried the wireless button already). Wired Will work.
    troubleshooting I did and did not work:
    - downloaded drivers from site http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds014964 put it on usb drive and transferred
    - Click it update drivers device, did not work.
    Device manager display:
    On network adapters display the hardware is working: Realtek PCIe Family Controller
    Other devices display:  Network controller, PCI Data Acquisition and signal, PCI Simple communication and SMS Bus controller with a yellow mark - Drivers not installed.
    PLEASE need your advise. Where i can find the correct driver what can i do to update it.
    Thank you! Michael

    Thanks for all the comments (most of them anyway :)). Since my first problem was that I couldn't identify what the thing is called, so I didn't get stuck with a transmit only device, I called Belkin. I was told that their product was a Wireless G Gaming Adapter (F5D7330). The rational was that XBox, etc. may not have USB ports, but they all have ethernet ports.
    I then asked about my busted wireless adapter. She looked it up and said the replacement was due to be shipped out shortly. She then volunteered to switch the product to the Gaming Adapter (list price $100), so I said fine.
    I then went to Amazon.com and looked up the reviews of the F5D7330. 80% loved it, 14% hated it, and the difference said they liked it after all the setup hassle.
    BTW, all this started about 5 years ago when I bought a Belkin Wireless adapter for my PMG3. It looked like a mouse with one antenna sticking out. I got a rehab unit for about $20 ($70 new). It was bad, so 4 months later they sent me another one. It lasted a while and went bad, so they sent me the new one shaped like a stick of gum. It has now gone bad, so they are sending me the Gaming unit that looks like a mouse with antenna sticking out. Round and round. At least I keep getting the newest thing for my original $20 investment.

  • Thinkpad Edge 14 intel wireless progress

    Hi ,
         I ve seen a number of posts here before;
                  https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=101365
    I just wanted to know if the realtek wireless is working with the AUR package :
                  https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34281
    And everyones general impresions of Arch on this laptop (particurally the wireless)

    I have a Thinkpad Edge 14. It works flawlessly out of the box with Arch.  Everything works!
    Assuming you are using the built-in wifi, you do not need a realtek wireless driver with this laptop.  You need the iwlwifi-1000-3.ucode firmware and the iwlagn kernel module.  I use wicd to manage my wireless connections with 100% success.
    My laptop has the i3 processor, intel graphics, intel wireless.  I'd be happy to answer any questions.

  • Need Suggestion​: buy ThinkPad Edge E540 or wait for Edge E550?

    Hello Everyone,
    I need suggestion what to do: buy ThinkPad Edge E54020C6003AGE (i7 4702MQ & GF 740M 2GB) or wait for Edge E550?
    http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Lenovo-ThinkPa​d-Edge-E540-20C6003AGE-Notebook.114194.0.html in Germany is price about 830 Euros
    I use ThinkPads in last 10 years for study and gaming (R60, SL510, Edge 520) and wish sell my Edge E520 replace it with new one due stuck with old Radeon 6630M drivers (I cannot use a new AMD drivers when I try I getting mostly BOSD errors and latest Official Lenovo driver is from 2012) second reason is that E520 fan cannot be accessed & cleaned on easy way.
    In which month Lenovo mostly release new Edges, What is your option are Broadwell CPU + GeForce 840/940M in Edges worth to wait?
    In future I try to avoid AMD GPU due poor drivers support.
    I know that there is much better notebooks for gaming but I like ThinkPads

    To support it the model you're buying should be equiped with the :
    Intel® Dual Band Wireless-N 7260
    Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 
    Wireless network adapters and core i5/i7 cpu's . But careful, not all E540s come with the intel wireless card
    Just check this and you're good to go.

  • Thinkpad Edge E440 Random Lags, Stuttering, Latency Problem.

    Dear All, I bought Thinkpad Edge E440 almost two weeks ago. The problem is it randomly lags and stutter without reason. For example I was writing documents on Microsoft Word, plays music on foobar2000 and doing some light browsing (only few tabs) but randomly the music lags for 1-2 seconds. It doesn't skip, it lags or stutter (sorry I don't know the right term). Also sometime it took awhile to open a new tab on firefox web browser while usually it took instantly.
    Another example is I play two online games, World of Tanks (WoT in short, a tank simulation game) and Ghost Recon Phantoms (a shooting game). When I play both game, the gameplay went smooth but randomly it lags or stutter like 1 second on more, then it went smooth again and then stutter again. The game doesn't became slow (which is called FPS drop if I am not wrong), the display just stop moving and mouse/keyboard become unresponsive during the lag/stutter period. On the other hand I also played WoT on my Pentium 4 PC and it went smooth without any lags, though of course the settings is inferior to my E440 laptop (Ghost Recon Phantoms can't be played on my Pentium 4 so I won't compare it).
    Also sometimes the audio sounds 'spiky'.
    As I searched online, people said that this is called/related to Latency problem and I should use LatencyMon to check it. After using LatencyMon I found several 'culprits' which causes big latency such as NDIS.sys, ACPI.sys, ATAPORT.sys, storport.sys, etc. I also tried to disable cpu throttling, power management settings and such but the problem doesn't go away.
    I am sure that there is something wrong with my hardware because if its caused by settings such as cpu throttling, power management (which I think is software-related) then won't this happen to everybody? I mean, I asked a fellow E440 user and he said that his laptop is fine and my problems doesn't occur on him.
    I have phoned Lenovo Customer Service. I was using Windows 7 Ultimate. At first they told me to do clean reinstall and install the drivers in the order the CS give me. I did clean reinstall 4 times to try different driver and program installation sequence to see if I might find a way to fix my problem, but I found no solution (I tried Lenovo CS driver install order on the last clean reinstall). I even tried running LatencyMon after clean reinstall before installing any drivers or updates but the LatencyMon still reports big, 'unhealthy' latency.
    Lenovo CS then told me to do hardware scan on Lenovo Solution Center. There are warning on the Nvidia GT740M stress test but the CS told me that the results are good. His last solution is that I should go to a Lenovo Service Center to check for the problem there.
    I moved to Windows 8.1 to see if the problem will be solved but too bad it's not. I have ran hardware scan for 5 times, there are two times(or 3 times I forgot) that there is warning on Harddisk SMART short self-test, 2 times warning on Nvidia GT740M stress test, one time scan finished with no warning. Even so, the end result for all the tests is 'Passed'.
    I think the problem lies within my harddisk (or something related to data transfer) since when I browse my local drive in windows explorer sometimes it took a long time for the icons to load but sometime it just loads instantly. And I am not sure what that Nvidia stress test warning has to do with.
    Also I only use the stock 4GB Ram. Could this related to the problem? Though when I look at Windows 8.1 Task Manager the memory usage rarely goes above 60%.
    Last but not least. I plug a wireless mouse on my laptop which I use mostly for playing games, but in the end I switches between mouse-touchpad-mouse and so on during working too. Sometime my touchpad suddenly went unresponsive for few seconds but my mouse is still usable during that moment. Then after I move my wireless mouse, my touchpad become responsive again. Any idea why this is happening? I think this is probably because touchpad driver not perfectly compatible with Windows 8.1 as I don't recall having this trackpad issue on WIndows 7.
    Can somebody help me? Does anyone else ever had the same problem as I do?
    I am sorry for the really long explanation. Your response will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi All, sorry for being a while for a long time.
    First of all, I should say that I am not sure if my trackpad/pointing device problem is related to the lag/stutter/latency problem so I should have made two different thread instead. Sorry if anyone got confused with this.
    @rallygion, the first OS I used on this laptop was Windows 7 64bit. If I remember correctly I don't experience the trackpad/pointing device problem back then, maybe I was just forgotten tho. I am using Windows 8.1 starting sometime before I made this thread. Now the problem has gone worse, sometime the touchpad & red dot in the keyboard won't work for a whole day so I must use external mouse.
    At first I thought its compability problem with Windows 8.1 but now I think the hardware has problem too. However, the keyboard is fully functional.
    @waqs, thanks for your suggestion! Unfortunately it doesn't solve the lag/stutter/latency problem.
    @ghasan, our problem is quite similar except I didn't use the M.2 SSD. One thing I notice is the disk activity sometimes jumps to 100% when the lags happened.
    The problem doesn't lie with the laptop specification is inferior. Fyi, when I play music on foobar2000 it took few second for music to start playing (foobar says 'starting playback..') while on my pentium 4 desktop (which I still use) the music plays right after I clicked the song.
    Also, eventhough I've closed all my applications, leaving only music player and microsoft word/firefox, the music which is playing lags (randomly stops for a moment).
    The lags also happened when watching videos. I played video on Media Player Classic, turned the statistics on. There happen to be frame drops sometimes. Not framerate drop, just frame dropped. I mean, I think framerate dropping has relation with computer power while in my case the frame just randomly drops, which 'damages' the video, not slowing it down.
    I am sure that this is hardware-related problem. I am going to take my laptop to service center but not now since I am in need on my laptop now.
    I will give update later when I have gone to the service center.

  • Lenovo Thinkpad edge 15 - Problem driver VGA controller with Windows XP

    Hello,
     I downgrade my thinkpad edge 15 from windows 7 to XP. I found all drivers on the site except the driver of VGA Controller. Where can I found it ?
     Computer configuration :
     ThinkPad Edge 15 (0302-47G)
     Windows XP Service Pack 3
      Athlon P540(2.4GHz) 2GB RAM 500GB 5400rpm HD 15.6in 1366x768 LCD ATI Radeon HD3400 CDRW/DVDRW    802.11bgn wireless Bluetooth 1Gb Ethernet UltraNav Camera 6c Li-Ion Win7 Pro 64
     Thank

    What do you mean it "refuses to work using bluetooth"?
    The iPhone does not support bluetooth file transfer. The only thing you can use it for with any computer is tethering the internet connection from the phone.  You can not sync or transfer data with your computer via bluetooth. You can sync via cable or WiFi.

  • Edge E320 - Wireless Driver Issue

    Just got the boss a new laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E320, whacked Win 7 Pro on as a clean installation as usual, though Win 7 didn't pick up a lot of the drivers automatically, so I had to download them, which was fine...
    However, when I reboot, the Wireless Driver seems to change / fail, still shows as "Intel(R) WiFi Link 1000BGN" in Device Manager, but shows with an Exclamation Mark...
    I've tried reinstalling the driver, but after a reboot it happens again...
    If anyone can suggest a fix for this, I'd be extremely keen to try it!

    Hello BR and welcome to community,
    Kindly download the updated driver from the Lenovo website.

    Intel Wireless LAN (11abgn, abg, bg) for Windows 7 64-bit

  • How to use Intel Rapid Start technology on my ThinkPad Edge 531 computer?

    I have a Thinkpad Edge 531 (model 6885-73G) preloaded with Windows 7 64bit. According to the appropriate user guide (see Thinkpad E531 User Guide - page 108) and chipset specifications Mobile Intel® HM77 Express this ThinkPad model supports Intel Rapid Start Technology with a special partition on the SSD M.2.Such an SSD with the specification M.2 (see MyDigitalSSD Super Cache 2) I bought it and installed successfully on my ThinkPad, which can run a cache software FNet HybriDisk on.
    However, even if I proceed exactly according to the installation script by Intel, see (Intel Rapid Start Technology User Guide) or by the installation script by Lenovo community, (see Edge E330 and Intel Rapid Start), I can not put into operation Intel Rapid Start Technology on my ThinkPad, although I use the installed SSD disk with an alone partition of appropriate type (with ID type 84 on MBR) with more allocated space than the size of RAM for my ThinkPad and with the currently deployed version of BIOS (1.29) and current drivers, such is Intel (R) Rapid Storage Technology Driver version 11.1.5.1001 downloaded from the webiste of Lenovo support for this model ThinkPad Edge 531.
    Since, in my opinion, based on the above specifications declared by the manufacturer Lenovo and Intel, this ThinkPad model should support Intel Rapid Start Technology, I would like therefore to know how this technology on my ThinkPad to put into operation, because of which I also bought this ThinkPad model. Does exist for this model ThinkPad Edge 531 some specific deployment scenario of Intel Rapid Start Technology? Does anyone have any practical experience with the launch of this technology on those ThinkPad models? Can it be expected that the full support of Intel Rapid Start Technology for the ThinkPad Edge 531 will occur after the release of a new version of the BIOS or a new version of Solid State Drive Firmware Update Utility with support for MyDigitalSSD Super Cache 2 published on the website of Lenovo support?
    Thanks in advance for any advice and guidance with the launch of Intel Rapid Start Technology on my ThinkPad Edge 531.

  • Thinkpad Edge 15 TVSU "Not applicable" after fresh wipe of Windows 8.1 and install of Windows 7

    Hello,
    I have a user that purchased a Lenovo laptop and is having problems downloading drivers to support the machine now that it has Windows 7 (via Volume Licensing) on it. When running System Update after Windows updates, it will tell me that "There are no drivers that are applicable" when I know for a fact that he does not have touchpad software or the ability to light up his keyboard. When trying to install the Synaptics UltraNav Touchpad Driver it will tell me that a touchpad doesn't exist.
    Any help would be great,

    Please confirm whether the machine in question is one of this type (model code number may be slightly different):

  • ThinkPad Edge e540 integrated camera only in grayscale/black and white

    I got my ThinkPad a few days ago and I've finally gotten the camera to work. After I had finally fixed the camera by installing the proper drivers though, it came up with a new problem: the camera does not display color, nor does it let me enable anything to display colors. The "ColorEnable" option is grayed out when I access its settings through the ThinkVantage Communications Utility. I've tried modifing every single option to no avail. No matter what application uses the webcam, it's always in grayscale. Even if just the laptop itself is the only one using it, it's still in grayscale. It leads me to believe that it's a problem with the camera itself and not any one application.
    I have not been able to find any solution at all no matter how hard I try to look. Any help would be appreciated. All my camera drivers are up to date as of today.
    Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit
    Lenovo ThinkPad Edge e540

    Actually, the way you've described the camera with illumination is exactly how mine reacts as well. There has to be a very good amount of light for there to be any color whatsoever.

  • How to create rescue and recovery partition for my thinkpad edge 11

    Hi,
    I'm using thinkpad edge 11 with win 7 home Premium 32 bit.
    Before, i tried to restore to factory setting, there is a drive partition of rescue and recovery in my thinkpad.
    But, when I was trying to restore to factory setting, I missed the steps and made the drive partition of rescue and recovery formatted.
    So, now, I don't have it again in my thinkpad.
    Then, after that, appeared another drive partition  in my thinkpad with name S: Sytem, beside C: WIndow7 and D: Data.
    So, I need the solution from you all as knowing more about thinkpad edge in this forum.
    1. How I remove the unkwon drive, S: System from my thinkpad?
    2. How I can create again the rescue and recovery partition on my thinkpad(wih Win 7 Home premium 32bit installer inside plus all the drivers)?
    Thanks...

    Hello mate,
    To restore the Q: partition you have to use the Lenovo Recovery Discs. Hope you burn them before erasing the partition, otherwise you have to order them from Lenovo.
    Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it.

    No, they want swap the motherboard for free (I've also bough a 3 year additional warranty). I've to reinstall the Windows system to "proove" that it also not working correctly. And still not possible to destinguish between the 3 theoretical options listed below. Otherwise they will charge 380EUR + the price for the motherboard (guessing 200 EUR) which is not acceptable. Theoretically only the cause which are possible are:- Hardware problem
    - Driver problem
    - Windows OS problem I also uninstalled all graphic card drivers (Intel HD4600 and Nvidia GT740M driver in safe mode with Driver uninstaller). Rebooted. Afterwards with opened device manager to see the graphic card devices I was installing the latest driver package. Intel HD4600 driver installs well, when the Nvidia GT740M driver will be installed computer crashes instantly.https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-edge-laptops/thinkpad-edge-e540/downloads/DS039880

  • Does Thinkpad Edge E545 have a non-stopping fan?

    I was thinking of purchasing this model:
    http://shop.lenovo.com/ae/en/laptops/thinkpad/edge-series/e545/
    I don't need anything fancy just something reliable so this would suit me fine. I mentioned it to a friend who said he bought the E530 and has regretted it ever since due to an issue with the fan. Apparently once the fan starts it doesn't stop. There is a 90-page thread about here:
    http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-Edge-S-series/E530-pulsing-whiny-fan-no-low-load/td-p/797577/pa...
    I had assumed this would have just been an isolated model problem. What is concerning is that not only have Lenovo not fixed the issue but I have come across similar complaints about the next model, the E540:
    http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-Edge-S-series/E540-Fan-does-not-stop/td-p/1439657
    If the same issue is present in the next model am I wrong to assume it is also present in the E545? Can someone confirm either way plz. I am also considering a Dell Latitude which I will purchase if there is no confirmation the problem has been addressed, but I would prefer to get this model.
    Regards, Miranda.

    I set up an account just to reply to you!...and also I just bought a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E545, and I want everyone to know what they're doing.  Plus, I'm having the same problem.  I just downloaded the Broadcom Wireless LAN (Driver here! Remember to choose for either Windows XP, 8, 8.1, or whatever you have!) and I've seen past comments that this has worked for them.  I'm about to go try it out, so wish me luck!  I hope you haven't returned that laptop you bought!  Lenovo is usually such a good brand, from what I hear, and I personally already enjoy the exterior, as I put structure, stability, and damage-resistant against style, which the Edge E545 seems to be more for the accident prone or careful type, but still cool!  Good luck!
