Thinkpad Edge E520

Hello all,
I'm trying to determine what sort of display this laptop has (I have a vestibular disorder and respond poorly to certain monitors). Does anyone know if it's an LCD or LED display? Thanks!

Hi Dmac31,
Please visit nearby service center, so that they will check the system and let you know that the system is compatible with normal LCD display or not. And regarding the Laptop without PWM, you have to visit the Lenovo store to check on that, because some model will not be sold in some region. And most of the Laptop were shipped with LED Backlight only.
Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.

Hope this helps.

  • [SOLVED] UEFI shell won't work on Thinkpad Edge E520

    Hi there,
    I have installed the x86_64 UEFI Shell 2.0 on my Thinkpad Edge E520 which is already booting in UEFI mode using refind-efi for some time now. The same shell is running just fine on my desktop system.
    But - on the Thinkpad it doesn't run. The shell is installed as /boot/efi/shellx64.efi and when I start the laptop, refind appears and shows me the shell icon (amoung others). But when I choose the shell from refind I get a black screen with this writing:
    Starting shellx64.efi
    Using load options ' '
    ASSERT_EFI_ERROR (Status = Device Error)
    ASSERT c:\dev\edk2tip\Build\Shell\RELEASE_VS2005\X64\ShellPkg\Application\Shell\Shell\DEBUG\AutoGen.c (431): !EFI_ERROR (Status)_
    I don't know if the text is going on after the last underline. If yes I cannot see it because the text is running out of the screen.
    The funny thing is - exactly the same setup is working pretty nice on my Asrock ITX board but not on the Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E520.
    Any ideas? Just say, if you need further information.

    Okay, found the - somewhat obvious - solution myself. The UEFI Bios on my Thinkpad is an "old" UEFI 2.0. So, Shell 2.0 won't work on this system (as I could have read in the wiki ).
    Now, I have installed Shell 1.0 and I can enter the shell from refind .

  • Are Graphics Drivers for the Thinkpad Edge E520 going to be brought up to date?

    The Lenovo supplied drivers for the Radeon 6630M installed in the E520 haven't been updated since early 2012. Meanwhile ATI released v14 of the drivers just a few months ago (mid 2014). The E520 is now 5 versions behind with it's drivers, and the ATI supplied driver is incompatible.
    Does Lenovo have any intention of releasing a compatible version of the latest drivers for the 6630M or are we supposed to muddle along without further support for this piece of hardware?

    There are other problems with the old drivers.I can upgrade IE10 to IE11 due incompatibily with this hybrid graphics driver.
    I can't update the lastest IE10 security updates for July 2014 due to incompatibily with this hybrid graphics driver.
    I'm sure upgraing to IE12 will fail as well.
    In January 2016 Microsoft will stop support for IE10 on Windows 7.:

  • Thinkpad Edge E520 Recovery Nightmare

    I am having a nightmare trying to get my laptop going again after a hdd failure.
    Fortunately I managed to burn the necessary disks from the recovery partition before the hard drive gave up.
    However with a new hdd installed and upWindows 7 back on via the recovery disks I have got a limp and useless machine. It appears that the recovery disk doesn't include all the original drivers as the display is using a bog-standard generic driver and some unknown devices show in device manager. My main issue though is Windows Update since reinstall is disabled and I have tried allsorts to get it up and running with no success. I've also tried to update the lenovo toolkit to automatically update the drivers and that will not update either - claiming it needs .Net 4 and .Net 4.5 running to do so. I have tried to install via Microsoft website but .net 4 fails during install and 4.5 wont install without 4. So I cannot update Windows 7 nor the installed Lenovo software. I have tried to manually download drivers from the lenovo site but my Internet is so slow and some of the drivers are so large (200mb+) that most downloads are stalling or timing out before they complete. Any help or ideas please - otherwise its a new laptop purchase for me and it won't be a Lenovo.

    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.

  • Thinkvantage Tools Program - Edge E520

    Hi,
    I bought Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E520 with Free DOS, afterwards I have installed Genuine Win 7 Professional.
    So after installing all necessary drivers I started to install Thingvantage programs (Access Connections, System Update, Active Protection System...)
    I was wondering is there a utility that combines all together in a single menu? Something like Lenovo Thinkvantage Tools is mentioned in the Manual but I can't seem to find it on the web.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    hey Ante,
    yes the ThinkVantage Toolbox can be considered a utility that combines all in a single menu. Currently on the website this particular software is missing and we apologize for that.
    We are getting the link up as soon as possible. In the interim period you can use this instead : http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS014950

  • 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.

    hi antitruster50,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    Just to verify,  did you created a usb recovery drive using this method and tried to boot from it? If you did and it doesn't work, check if you see the following in the BIOS and set it accordingly:
    Security Tab:
    Secure Boot = Disabled (if applicable)
    Exit Tab:
    OS Optimized Defaults = Disabled / Other OS (if applicable)
    Alternatively, you can also do the following:
    1. Booting from the stock 500GB, mount the SSD into the Ideapad S210 using a 2.5" SATA enclosure
    2. After successfully mounting the SSD, use Paragon Backup & Recovery 12 Home free trial to migrate the OS, drivers, app, etc. from the stock HDD to the SSD (complere guide here). When successful, remove the stock HDD and put the SSD in place and observe (no need to change any settings in the BIOS).
    Let me know how it goes.

  • 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 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.
    -Tahta

    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.

  • 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.

    Good day and welcome to the community.
    Please confirm whether the machine in question is one of this type (model code number may be slightly different):

  • Edge e520 i5 UEFI/GPT Dual boot Windows/Ubuntu

    Hi!
    I have an Edge e520 1143GVG. It has an UEFI-Board with Win7/64 on MBR-Harddisk.
    What I want:
    GPT-Partition scheme and dual boot Windows 7/64 and ubuntu 14.04/64.
    I managed to backup the partitions on an external HDD, install GPT on Harddisk, recopy saved Partitions and have now a fully running Win7/64 on GPT-System (it wasn't that easy as it seems here).
    Next Step is to install Ubuntu on a separate Partition. I took a standard Ubuntu boot-CD, startet the pc with that boot disk (Board-Settings: UEFI/BIOS "Both", UEFI First) and installed Ubuntu without any trouble. Unfortunately no boot entry has been generated, so I tried to add one with EasyBCD. That doesn't work, an error is shown like "Windows cannot be startet, no valid file /NST/grub.mbr" or something like that.
    I think the reason is that the cd booted in BIOS Mode, not UEFI. If I set board setting to "UEFI only", the boot CD will not start. So I built a bootable Ubuntu USB-Flashdrive with GPT-Scheme, but it didn't start as well.
    After that I updated BIOS hoping UEFI-Boot from external devices will be possible then. It isn't.
    The e520-board seems to be outdated or faulty, it is not possible to boot from USB or CD in UEFI-Mode.
    Does anyone knows a solution? Will Lenovo update the BIOS?
    kr,
    Bernd Hollermann, Germany

    I have to update my problem:
    booting in gpt/uefi-mode is impossible from usb-key, but is ok from DVD. I managed to install Ubuntu now, everything runs well, after I took a 64-bit version on a dvd.

  • Windows 7 future re-installation on ThinkPad Edge

    I have recently bought a ThinkPad Edge 15 with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 pre-installed.  Mindful of potential future hard drive faults, or the OS screwing itself up (I've had both of these over the years), I have
    made an image of the drive using the Toolbox, and that image now resides as drive Q
    burned a Rescue & Recovery Disk to CD
    I found the Product Key ok, under the battery...
    Questions
    Will there now be a version of the pre-installed version of Windows 7 on either of these, because having tried to have a look using Explorer, it is not obvious that there is?
    The Rescue & Recovery CD has a preboot and a boot folder, but does it have Windows 7 on there?
    If not, is there a way to make a copy of the pre-installed Windows 7?
    Thanks for any info on this.

    Unless things have changed since I got my T400:
    1.  There should be an image of the machine as delivered in Q already.  As Duck3 said, it is available at boot time using the "Think" button.  (Or whatever it's called on an Edge)
    2. If you only burned an rescue CD, you have only the bootable Rescue and Recovery tool.  There should be an option somewhere - start menu or R&R advanced screen - to make a recovery media set.  That will include the rescue CD again, and probably two DVDs.  It will contain a factory image like  the one in Q.  The optical media guards against total drive failure where you can't boot to R&R on the HD.
    [edit] The option to burn a recovery set may also be available by clicking (right click?) on the Q partition in windows explorer.
    3.  See 2.  You can also make backups (as you have I think) of the as-running system.  These can be on external HD or burned to DVDs.  It takes a lot of DVDs...

  • 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.
