  • Lenovo Thinkpad Edge S430 ticking noise

    Hi all, 
    My Lenovo Thinkpad Edge S430 has started making some ticking noise coming from the left corner of the laptop. If any video is on sometimes the voice disappears for a few seconds after the intensified ticking. Slightly pressing down the speakers helps stopping the noise for a short while. Any idea what the issues could be and how I could solve them?
    Thanks a lot for your help!!

    All I can say is that it's an error in the marketing material.
    I'm 100% certain that this feature does not exist on any ThinkPad Edge system, including your S430.  There is not any possibility to add this feature because the hardware that makes it possible does not exist on ThinkPad Edge.  It's not a case of providing some new software or BIOS to enable the feature.
    If this is a feature that you require, and you bought your S430 based on this faulty marketing material, I suggest that you call the sales support phone number in your country and ask them how they want to handle it.  I'm very sorry for this trouble caused by wrong marketing material.

  • Intel 4000 graphics failure both windows and linux on thinkpad edge s430

    After 5-30 minutes the screen breaks up in flickering (or just black) and system freezes. I need to turn off computer. After restart the error occurs again quickly.
    This occurs regardless if I boot to windows or into a linux bootable dvd.
    But
    Remote desktop connection to the computer and it works fine for days .
    ->
    Thus I believe it is the intel 4000 graphics that has some hardware failure which is not invoked upon remote desktop.
    I wonder if this is a known issue?
    I wonder if only a replacement of the intel 4000 graphics will fix this (this probably means replacing the main board entirely?)
    Or
    If it is in any way likely that it is _only_ because maybe thermal paste between cooler and cpu/graphics is slipping?

    Have you tried setting up the connection manually?
    e.g.
    /etc/init.d/networkmanager stop
    #Unlock wireless devices
    rfkill unblock all
    #enable interface
    ifconfig wlan0 up
    #check network visibility
    iwlist wlan0 scanning
    #configure wifi
    iwconfig wlan0 essid <ESSID>
    iwconfig tx auto
    and then set up wpa_supplicant in case you use WPA2!
    #Get ip address
    dhclient wlan0
    One thing I regularly miss when getting a new wifi device is to add it to the MAC filter list of my router, so check if the MAC address is added there...

  • Lenovo Enhanced Experience 8 and Lenovo ThinkPad Edge S430

    Hi,
    My Lenovo ThinkPad Edge S430 is listed in the "supported W8" systems, http://shop.lenovo.com/gbweb/gb/en/learn/products/ee8/index.html
    But what is "Lenovo Enhanced Experience 8"? Should be some software available? Should be something available? So far, I got my hands over some drivers (card reader, hotkey, active protection system) and little more. Should something else be installed in the notebook to improve it's performance?
    If I helped you, please give me some kudos! ^^

  • Thinkpad Edge S430 Sata 6Gb/s or 3Gb/s?

    Hi everyone,
    I am wondering if the internal SATA (not mSATA) port of the Thinkpad Edge S430 is a 6Gb/s or 3Gb/s port?
    Because the internal 500GB HDD is a Hitachi Travelstar Z7K500, which normally is a Sata 6Gb/s HDD, but CrystalDiskInfo says that it is only working in Sata 3Gb/s modus.
    I know that the HDD is not fast enough to max out SATA 3Gb/s anyway, but I want to replace the HDD with an SATA 6Gb/s SSD.
    So the question is why is the HDD is working in SATA 3gb/s modus. Does the board only support SATA 3gb/s or does the OEM Version of the Hitachi HDD only support SATA 3gb/s?
    Has anyone replaced the HDD with an SSD already?

  • System recovery Thinkpad Edge S430, HELP...

    Hi,
    Can anyone please help me with the system recovery of Thinkpad Edge S430. I just created a recovery DVD and tried to install the windows back to factory settings. But suddenly my PC has formatted all drives, including my recovery drive. Can anyone please help me with the recovery of my laptop? Please.....

    IT WORKS!!! I just received my Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter and connected it with a RME Fireface 800 Audiointerface. ASIO Low Latency is perfect and the recording also works flawless!
    The Device is recognized as a standard OHCI LSI IEEE 1394-Controller in Windows!
    The Pity is I forgot to order a HDMI Adapter for my second screen, which was connected via thunderbolt before.

  • Differences between Lenovo ThinkPad S430 and ThinkPad Edge S430

  • Thinkpad Edge S430 - Windows does not detect external display connected via HDMI

    On a Thinkpad S430 with HD4000 integrated graphics, an external display connected via a HDMI cable is not detected at all when using Windows. The system is fully updated as of the time of posting this message, both via the Lenovo Update tool as well as Windows update.
    The Intel driver version is 8.15.10.2696. It appears that this is the latest version, since it does not offer an update when I try to auto-update it via Device Manager.
    NB: I am running Ubuntu 12.04 with kernel 3.4.0 on the same machine, and the external display works perfectly fine with this software configuration.
    Hence I think that it's very likely that this is a Windows-specific driver issue.
    Would Lenovo happen to have a driver update in the works? Alternatively, I will be thankful for any suggestions about possible resolution of this problem.

  • Thinkpad Edge S430 - Swapping out optical drive for HDD?

    Hi There
    I just ordered myself an S430 with a 128gb SSD HDD included. I didn't see an option to replace the optical drive with a secondary HDD (e.g. a 500gb) so have the optical drive in as standard. Now, I would have rather changed this out for a secondary HDD or for a Blu-Ray drive, thinking I could do this myself once bought...Looking at other posts it looks like you can swap out the optical drive for a Blu-Ray drive, although I would preferably get a secondary drive over the Blu-Ray, but I'm hesitant over a few things:
    Is this possible to do myself (swapping out for either secondary HDD or blu-ray drive) without voiding the warranty? (I got it with 2 year warranty)
    Is it actually possible to do at all? (swapping out for a secondary HDD)
    Thanks
    Solved!

    Unfortunately, I have found no hard drives that are compatible for your optical bay.  I do believe the reason you can change out your optical drive is to change to a blue-ray or CD, or DVD, maybe a player or burner. But like I said, I have found no hard drive that can fit in your optical drive.  You may be able to find what I could not but I have been looking all over the web. 
    I know how you feel, my computer at home can not have any hard drives in the optical bay as well.

  • ThinkPad Edge S430: where to get keyboard key hinge replacement?

    Hi guys,
    I just broke a hinge of my S430's keyboard's key. A "regular" one. Does anybody knows where I can get a replacement? In Argentina?  (is where I'm currently) Or some place it ships to Argentina, Spain, Germany, Canada...? I didn't find any key or key hinge for these new keyboards on ebay.
    I believe it's the same one as the T430u, right?

  • [ThinkPad Edge S430 ] Problem between HDD, SSD, mSSD

    Hello everyone, I wanna buy a S430 with 16GB mSSD.
    I wanna ask, where is the windows installed? In the mSSD or HDD?
    If it is installed in the mSSD, does it means that if I replace the HDD with a SSD, I will not lose the windows with lenovo features like EE3.0 but only the data stores in the pre-installed HDD?
    Thanks a lot!!

    Windows is installed on the HDD. The mSATA is used for caching purposes with software called ExpressCache. It makes the HDD performance faster.
    If you intend to replace the HDD with SSD, then there is no purpose to buy the 16GB mSATA.  The mSATA cache will not make a SSD faster.

  • Lenovo Thinkpad Edge S430 SSD cache not working???

    Hi guys,
    I just got my S430 a couple of days ago. Installed Windows 8 x64 (RTM).
    Everything was working ok. More or less. But now SSD cache just "dissapeared". Whenever I try to initialize it from the computer manager it throws a I/O error, and the installer cannot identify the SSD.
    Ideas? Is it dead? (within a week of buying it!!! )
    If I helped you, please give me some kudos! ^^

    Thanks for your reply, lead_org. My apologies, I didn't see the reply before.
    Is not the mSATA port, but the mSATA SSD. It's being detected, both in W7 and W8, both in this machine and in a Lenovo E420s. But it's not working at all (I/O error, yada yada).
    Thing is, to ask for the warranty, Lenovo wants me to send the whole notebook. And I need it to work, so it's a no-go.
    I guess I just lost 35 bucks of the mSATA SSD cost. :@
