Thinkpad Edge E530 hangs on shutdown

Hi,
my Edge 530 fails regularly (allthough not every time) to shut down. Instead it hangs on the blue exit screen of my Windows 7 (Home Prem, SP1) and I'm forced to hold the power button down in order to shut down my system.
Windows event viewer shows a bunch of identical reports like this one:
ACPI thermal zone ACPI\ThermalZone\TZ01 has been enumerated.
_PSV = 368K
_TC1 = 1
_TC2 = 5
_TSP = 1000ms
_AC0 = 0K
_AC1 = 0K
_AC2 = 0K
_AC3 = 0K
_AC4 = 0K
_AC5 = 0K
_AC6 = 0K
_AC7 = 0K
_AC8 = 0K
_AC9 = 0K
_CRT = 373K
_HOT = 0K
_PSL - see event data.
Sometimes I get a beep and a message "fan error" on the following start up. Can this be potentially harmful and what shoud I try to do about it?
Thanks in advance,
Juhani

ThinkPad Edge E530 Please tell me what the icon means

When I lifted my opened my laptop, there was an icon at the bottom center. The symbol was similar to a half of a sun upside-down and it was crossed out. Since I've never seen the icon before, I don't know what it means or if it's affecting anything.

Hello and welcome,
It sounds like it's the ThinkLight icon. Does it look like this? https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-Edge-S-series/Thinklight-Icon-won-t-go-away/td-p/1855652

Yosemity upgrade on Macbook Pro failed on you too?

Yosemity install just crashed on me!
Macbook Pro 13" Mid 2012 i7 processor, upgraded from the latest version of Mavericks to Yosemity; in final stage it got 'stuck' stating '22 minutes' to finish', and, that's as far as it got! - now busy restoring from TimeMachine - Restore time = 4 hours; extremely frustrating!
Anybody else had the same experience?

Thinkpad Edge 450 - Window 8.1 Pro - Clean installation

Hey guys,
i just bought that laptop on last week.
The installed window version when i bought is window 7 with free upgrade right to window 8 pro.
i've already ordered some of recovery media from lenovo but installation stuck in setting Up window 8.
So, I decided to install window 8.1 via USB. I just want to know is
- if I install window 8.1, window will be automatically activated or not when connected to internet.
- I saw two particular partitions in harddisk that there are "System Drv" and "Recover Partation" and they will be deleted when i install window 8.1.
- Either way is go to service center and make them do it?
Thank you very much!!

I would download the latests bootcamp driver zip
Apple - Support - Downloads
if it's 5033 or 5621 depend on your model which ones for which are listed
unzip in windows and navigate to the wifi or ethernet driver and manually install the drivers

Thinkpad Edge E530 BIOS

I have updated my (originally Windows 7 equipped) Thinkpad E530 to the latest BIOS version 2.55.
I have also installed Windows 8.1 x64 on it.
My question is: should I use the 'OS Optimized Defaults' in the BIOS or not?
In the BIOS install descriptions, it says to use the OS Optimized Defaults on a Windows 8 (x64) pre-installed machine, and to use the regular defaults on a Windows 7 pre-installed machine.
But my computer was a 7 pre-installed machine, but is now running Windows 8 x64. So which defaults do I need to load?
Kind Regards,
Psycho

Hi,
Thank you for the reply,
To work the system with 'OS optimized defaults', you have reinstall the Windows 8 OS after enabling to 'OS optimized defaults'. If you change the HDD partition format the OS will not work.
Hope this helps. Do post back if issue persists!

Thinkpad Edge E530 problem with GT 630M

The problem with GT 630M in the laptop GT580 20150
After updating the BIOS in Windows 8, and install windows 8 has stopped working NVIDIA graphics card
message:
System Windows stopped this device because it has reported a problem occurs. (Code 43)
Tried different driver from 310.?? to 321.??
After installing the driver card is working properly. After the first reboot card stops working.
Help solve the problem!
Please!

Hello,
I managed to get bluetooth working. The problem was solved after I loaded factory defaults in BIOS.
Now, bluetooth can be enabled by using Fn+F9, for example. 'rfkill unblock/block' also works.
Now, I have different problem:
Wireless and bluetooth are enabled at boot all the time (I use ubuntu 11.10). I can disable them when linux is up, but if I reboot they will be up again.
I beleive this can be solved (workaround!) by apropriate script which would disable wifi and bluetooth at boot time.
Proper solution would be if bios could remember last wifi/bluetooth state (that was the case before I upgraded firmware to 1.14), or to have all disabled by default.
(Just to mention that state is preserved after suspend/resume which is good)

Thinkpad Edge E530. Latest monitor driver messed up HDMI-output

As the title says, since I installed the latest driver for the monitor is the HDMI-output not working. The computer doesn't even recognize that a HDMI-cable is connected anymore. I triied reinstalling the driver, but it is still not woriking. When I reinstall Windows 8.1 completely the HDMI-output is working again, so clearly it is something wrong with the latest driver.

I wanted to reply that I just discovered that my Lenovo AIO no longer likes my converter. I'm not sure why as I have proven that it works by using it on another device. The other device is a laptop running Windows 7 Pro.
On a haunch, I plugged in my HDMI TV which has a native HDMI connection and it WORKED. So, I suppose I'm back to the drawing board and this is indeed not a Lenovo hardware issue.
Does anyone know of any issues with using a HDMI to VGA converter on a Lenovo B540 AIO? Link below:
http://www.startech.com/AV/Converters/Video/HDMI-to-VGA-Adapter-Converter-for-Desktop-PC-Laptop-Ultr...
I have the one above but I just noticed there is a HD2VGAE which I'm not sure what the difference is.
Thanks!

Thinkpad Edge E530 BIOS Update went wrong

I was updating BIOS using the utility given in Lenovo site. But it went wrong and my E530 is bricked. I'm planing to recover the BIOS using Phoenix Wincrisis .. But for that i Need the bios.wph file. I tried to extract the .wph file (using 7zip) from the Bios update .exe file given in lenovo site .. But I Cant find a .wph file in it.. It contains a [0] file.. Tried to extract that '[0]' file using 7zip. But 7zip cant open the archive. My E530 is still bricked .. Someone please help me as soon as possible. Thanks in advance

Hi Yasarharafath,
I am sorry for the delay in reply!
I am glad to hear that your system is now booting after using Phoenix Wincrisis Tool. But for this new issue suggest you to check with uninstalling ACPI adapter from the device manager. Remove the battery from the system & power on the system from connecting ‘Power Adapter’. Wait till the system boot completely and then go to ‘Device Manager’ then uninstall ‘Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery’ under battery option. After uninstalling shutdown the system, remove ‘Power Adapter’ and insert the battery then switch ON the system and check.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar

Thinkpad edge e530 large bottom cover stripped screw

Hi,
I have a stripped screw on the large bottom cover caused by using the wrong screwdriver which was my fault. I am guessing warranty will not cover this issue, if not can anybody direct my to getting a new cover with screws in it, as the screws do not come out.
Also if it makes a difference, I put in a repair request through the website, and they shipped me a box to send my laptop in, however since I am a student I NEED this laptop every day and cannot have it in repairs.

Just a small bump, I have the same problem with my Lenovo S440. I plugged in an m.2 SSD, closed it up. The SSD didn't seem to be connected correctly, so I tried to open it up again and 1 screw just totally warped. I did use the correct screwdriver, it's actually exactly the same one as the Lenovo engineer who repaired my laptop yesterday used. I can probably drill it out without doing any damage, but if anyone has a better solution I'd like to hear it. I'm also looking for some replacement screws (the size/type isn't mentioned in the replacement manual, but I' ve already opened at seperate topic for that).
I know this post is quite old, but did you by any chance find a way to take it out?

Edge e530 cdrom screw removal

Hello,
I was trying to place a 2nd hdd to my thinkpad edge e530 so I had to first remove the cdrom drive.
However, I couldn't remove the screw that holds the cdrom which according to the manual is this type:
M2 × 3 mm, wafer-head, nylon-coated [1] (http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/pd023403)
I tried with the smallest screwdrivers I had, but it wouldn't turn at all and seems to have some tear on it now.
What kind of screwdriver do I need for this?
Thanks for your help!

After Win 8.1 upgrade, Acrobat 9 Pro suddenly won't run

I have Web Premium CS4, and Acrobat Pro v. 9.5.5. I bought a new Window 8.0 computer 90 days ago, installed the suite, activated, and everything ran fine. Yesterday, I upgraded to Win 8.1. Now, when I open Acrobat Pro, I get a pop-up message saying that it was installed as part of a suite, and to open another program in the suite first. When I click OK, Acrobat closes. I have tried opening nearly every other program in the suite (Bridge, Flash, Photoshop 64-bit), they run OK, but Acrobat will still not run, and there are no activation messages. I checked my Adobe account, and my version of Acrobat Pro 9 is still listed, with serial number.
I'm very disappointed, as I use Acrobat Pro quite a bit, and currently it will not stay open at all. Other than telephoning Adobe for help (no free support # listed), or using on-line chat (no link available), or e-mailing them (no address listed)...what can I do to "activate" it?
I've tried opening Acrobat Distiller and get the same message, but when I close it, I see a brief flash of what appears to be an input box with activation stuff. It only appears for half-a-second, so I cannot do anything with it.

Bill, thanks for that info. I don't think I would ever expect to get any support from Adobe on these programs, since I stopped buying revisions after CS4. I was surprised that I was even able to successfully install the CS4 Web suite onto Win 8.0, and Win 8.1 probably adds another couple hundred million lines of redundant code from our friends in Bill Gates-Land.
However, my A-Pro9 problem did resolve unexpectedly! I tried opening all the suite's programs, one at a time, and then Acrobat, with no luck. Then I realized that the suite had installed both 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Photoshop (I use the 64-bit version) onto my new 64-bit computer. So, when I opened the *32-bit Photoshop* for a minute, closed it, and re-opened Acrobat 9, it went back to working normally. I'll take it!
