Here is the loose bezel:

Here is me pressing gently against the bezel to show it actually is loose:

Will this fall under the warranty?

Hi Ceadar,
It doesn’t matter much, however for your satisfaction you can remove and refit the bezel, for instruction on re-fixing the bezel please follow the HMM (Hardware Maintenance Manual) link below, and go to page # 106. It is just an issue with alignment and won’t effect to any other thing.
ThinkPad Edge E540 hmm
Hope this helps.

How to turn of the display (ThinkPad Edge E540)

Hi,
I bought a new Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E540. My Question is, how can I turn off the display? There is no FN-hotkey for it.
Or is it possible to change the functions of the FN-hotkeys because I don't even need two of them?
I hope someone has an answer for me

Get LCDoff, pin it to your taskbar.

Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E540 - Graphic card recognition and blue Screens BSOD

Hi, I'm having MAJOR troubles with Windows 8.1 64 Bit latest version on a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E540.Effects are:- Startup and BSOD - DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE - SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED - DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL- Serveral effects on the Nvidia GT740M in the device manager not detected or driver could not start - not detected in device manager - detected, but driver not started    Die Treiber für dieses Gerät wurden nicht installiert.

    Klicken Sie auf "Treiber aktualisieren", um einen Treiber für dieses Gerät zu finden. - Updated e.g. Intel Bluetooth driver: => seen, but driver could not be started, deactivated/activated device => OK BIOS version is latest version available today. Latest Intel driver available from Lenovo is very old from 20.12.2013, 10.18.10.3379Nvidia GT740M driver: 9.1.2015, 9.18.13.4725, also older driver don't work reliable. @Lenovo: Please provide newer drivers for Intel HD 4600 and Nvidia GT740M which work reliable on Thinkpad Edge E540 !!!!! Thank you. Gerhard

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

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-ThinkPad-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 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.

White rectangular box in desktop screen of Thinkpad Edge E540

Hello,
My Lenovo Thinkpad E540 (Model: 20C6008QUS) shipped yesterday and during configuring it for the first time , I found a strange problem (and it was during the first few hours after unboxing). I started experiencing a weird white (or gray) rectangular box on the top-left corner of the desktop and I have no idea where it was originated from (snapshot attached).
The box doesn't show up at the startup but whenever I logon to the windows after sleep or hibernation this box pops up. This box is just blocking all the icons below it and it is very much annoying.
Can anyone please help me out by providing any kind of solution with it ?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I can't say I recall ever seeing that before, but my initial thought is that it is a dialog from an application that wants you to register, install an update or some other kind of interactive message but isn't painting properly.
You could try bringing up the Task Manager by pressing the Ctrl+Shift+Esc keys together, looking at the apps whicha are open, and closing them one-by-one until you find the culprit.
If that works to identify the program, perhaps you can update it manually.

Edge E540: Power Manager for Windows 8.1?

The Thinkpad Edge E540 currently comes with Windows 7 preinstalled, Windows 8 added as recovery disk. It is also suffering from an issue, where the fan will spin unnecessarily fast until going to standby and waking up again.
As a solution it was suggested to use the Power Manager utility [1]. However, the download page [2] lists the Power Manager only for Windows 7 (and indeed it won't install on Windows 8.1).
Does this mean that the Power Manager is not available for Windows 8? If it isn't, will it be?

This is a new replacement x1 carbon received yesterday as a replacement for my current x1 carbon.
Same issue again, but I can't find any other posts about this issue ?
I'm trying to get this issue resolved since end of november...
Started with http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x1-carbon-loose-hinge-lcd-bezel-warranty-denie...
First Lenovo denied warranty, then got an onsite engineer who couldn't fix the problem so I had to sent the laptop to lenovo.
Took them 1 week to replace the screen but problem remained.
Again got an engineer onsite who escalated the problem since he couldn't fix the problem.
On 10 December they approved a complete machine replacement, but took them some time to get a new laptop.
Received the new laptop yesterday, but same issue...
(model 34602SG)

The bezel detachment on the x1c is common, as there is insufficient structural rigidity on the X1C screen casing. I have seen this problem to some degrees on most of the x1c I have came across till end of Feb 2013.

Thinkpad Edge E420 does not boot up and customer service does not help

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E420 laptop that stopped powering on all of a sudden. It was working fine till one day fine and all of a sudden, does not boot up the next morning. I have googled around and looked in Lenovo Forums and it looks like this is a common issue with motherboard on these types of laptops and that lenovo fixed some of these. Unfortunately, my laptop is out of warranty but I do see that Lenovo fixed similar problems for some laptops that are out of warranty. Please see the two threads below
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-Edge-S-series/thinkpad-e420-wont-start/td-p/755813
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-Edge-S-series/E420-motherboard-problems/td-p/667009/page/10
So, I tried calling customer service multiple times hoping that I could get to talk to a supervisor and explain the problem. Just today, I was told I need to agree to pay $575 (which is much more than what the laptop is worth) to even talk to a supervisor. This is quite disappointing.
If any Lenovo support staff is monitoring it, can you help here?

Its not the motherboard even though they say it is. All they will do is replace the motherboard and it will just fail on you again. I had the exact same issue and the motherboard was replaced. Next day I used it it failed again. You need to remove the CMOS battery which is located underneath the laptop. Its in the compartment with the one screw. Remove that. Remove the battery and all power supply. Then plug the CMOS back in and plug in powercord. Once you have done that start up as normal. Press f1 to enter BIOS. Go to the Config tab and under "power options" disable "rapid intel start." That worked for me as a temporary solution.
It clearly isnt a motherboard fault as all Tech support from Lenovo claim it to be. I mean c'mon I had the exact same fault the day after my motherboard was replaced, but after removing CMOS and battery the motherboard magically starts to work?? Must be related to the W5 problem they have been having with BIOS.
Heres a link to another thread with others with the same problem.
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-Edge-S-series/E540-power-issue/td-p/1326979/page/9
Let me know if this helps at all since no one from Lenovo seems to care about helping their own customers... very dissappointed with the customer service. Personally I dont think Ill ever purchase a lenovo product again after their pathetic execuse for "tech support." Anyway good luck!

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!

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.

Thinkpad E531/E540 don't work with Corsair CMSX4GX3M1A1600C9

Hi All,
as per title, I bought a new memory module (Corsair CMSX4GX3M1A1600C9 1 x 4GB) since I wanted to add a new 4GB module to my laptop (E531). My laptop was provided with only 1 x 4GB, so there is 1 slot free.
So, I tried to insert the new module, but the system doesn't boot up (black screen after power on, no POST beep, no alert).
My tests:
I tried to shift the 2 memory modules, no change (1st slot: manufacturer module, 2nd slot: Corsair module; 1st slot: Corsair module, 2nd slot manufacturer module).
I installed only the new Corsair module both on the 1st slot and then the 2nd slot (by removing the manufacturer module), no change.
I tried to install the Corsair module on a E540 laptop and I performed all these tests, same behavior.
What can it be? Is the Corsair memory broken? Don't the Thinkpad Edge laptops support the Corsair memories?
Thanks!

It is possible that the T23 motherboard has a problem with some bad solder connections of the memory module sockets. I have personally have had at least two T23 systems with this problem (out of about 60 that have been in my hands - all purchased quite used from eBay). Your options are to change out the motherboard or to attempt to re-solder the sockets; not that easy to do but it can be possible with a steady eye and good hands (or is that the other way around ).
As a double-check, could you please list the TYPE number from the "System-unit serial number" in the main BIOS setup screen? It's only seven characters long and will start with 2647 or 2648. Don't list anything past the seventh character as that's the system's serial number and that's not needed here. I know that you've listed the 1.20 BIOS, which appears to be the latest for the T23, but I want to make sure that somebody hasn't put a T23 keyboard onto a T22 (or earlier) system. That would be one explanation as to why a 512MB module does not work and what fmyhr may have been thinking about earlier (systems older than the T23 will not work with "high density" modules).

Thx in advance.

Thank you for your reply and your advice buying a samsung evo.
I also found this http://support.lenovo.com/ca/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-edge-laptops/thinkpad-edge-e5... saying that it's a known problem having an Intel 520 series only(lucky me) and the THE SOLUTION IS "Update the drive’s firmware to version LFBi.".
I updated yesterday since then nothing has happened.Is this any possibility that ssd will die cause of that update?
