Welcome to the forum!

Could you please post the 7-character model number found on the sticker on the bottom of your ThinkPad?

  • Lenovo S410p accidentally deleted NVIDIA Driver from device manager

    Hello,
    I "accidentally" uninstalled my NVIDIA GeForce 720M driver from my device manager when I tried to reinstall the driver. Now it no longer shows up on the device manager at all, and I cannot install any driver since the laptop does not detect it anymore.
    I am running Windows 8.1 64bit on a Lenovo ideapad s410p laptop. The only graphics driver detected is the intel one. And since I'm using a laptop, re-plugging in the graphics card is not really a feasible option either... 
    System restore does not work (The oldest backup, somehow, is AFTER the uninstallation), and I really do not want to resort to factory reset... And of course, before the uninstallation, the driver worked just fine.
    Is there any way I can force the laptop to detect the GPU again? I am pretty sure the hardware is working fine, just undetected
    Please help, I have no idea what else to do at this point. Thank you in advance..
    Solved!

    hi Votbear,
    Welcome to lenovo Community Forums!
    Can you check under Drive D: if you still have the drivers folder back up
       Try looking for the Video Graphics driver installer and install that.
    In case you can't find the driver folder or the system does not have a D: drive
    Try downloading the driver here, see if those work

  • Bluetooth radio missing, not found in device manager - Probook 4530s

    I have a Probook 4530s with Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit installed on it. A little while ago I wanted to use bluetooth for networking, but thee was no bluetooth adapter in the Network Connections window. I looked in Device Manager next, thinking maybe there was something wrong with the driver, but no bluetooth adapter showed. I've tried rebooting, turning it off and on in BIOS, and even just pressing the wireless button, but nothing has worked.
    Along with Windows, I have Mac and Ubuntu installed. Bluetooth dooesn't work on any of the operating systems, but it used to.
    Any help with getting my adapter working again would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Its more than likely Ubuntu that has caused the problem. I can't say for sure though as I've never used the model of laptop you have. With the WiFi/Bluetooth portion of the hardware its not just a driver that keeps the hardware running correctly, there is a firmware as well. I managed to kill my WiFi card for a while when I was messing with Linux OS's.  Find out the precise model of the bluetooth adapter on your laptop (it may be a WiFi/Bluetooth combo card?) then start searching the Linux communities for information about the firmware for the cards. 
    Sorry I can't be more helpful.

  • L7580 All-in-1 is listed as a disk drive by Device Manager! What gives?

    Disk manager lists my officejet L7580 as "HP Officejet Pro L7 USB Device" under Disk drives. Is this an error? Do I need to reinstall the driver? I'm having some other problems with the printer that I'm trying to track down and am wondering whether this might be a lead to the problems.

    I am having the same issue with the HP Officejet Pro.  (Model is 8510)    Will not connect the printer via the USB port or wireless.  Imaging Devices displays HP Officejet Pro 8610.  Other devices displays Unknown device.  
    Deleted the device from Disk drives but it comes back just as soon as I connect the printer to the PC.  Earlier my problem was that 5 or 6 .inf files were not in the C:/windows/inf folder.
    4 hours wasted trying to get a printer on my PC.

  • [X-fi] Missing Gameport in hardware device manag

    Hi to all! (excuse my bad english...)
    I have a X-fi ExtremeMusic (I upgraded from a SB Audigy 2 ZS)
    ... I've noticed that, after the installation, the peripheral "Creative Gameport" is no more showed!!!
    What can I do for "reactivating" the gameport?!?!
    I tried to unistall (with drivercleaner) and then reinstall the drivers, without success!
    Thanx! ;-)

    OMG!... yep... windows doesn't show the gameport, because the port isn't a gameport!! :-p
    Ufff... my old A2 ZS had Firewire and gameport!... and now?!?!... wait! Perhaps my Asus P4c800-e has a gameport device... I should look at...
    Thanx anyway!

  • Dv9913cl Notebook not showing DVD drive in system or Device manager, and more

    I recently reinstalled the operating system on my stepfathers Pavillion dv9913cl notebook because it was slow and old. After I reinstalled windows I installed all of the drivers from HP's website, and made sure windows was completly up to date. I checked to make sure things on the computer worked, but I forgot to check the DVD drive.
    So today when he went to put in a DVD it did not work. I was not present when he and my mom first tried using it, but this is what they passed on:
    After putting in a DVD it took a few seconds and then something(I couldn't get them to tell me what) popped up saying something about the DVD region. I couln't get a clear answer on what it told them. My mother said something about it being the wrong region and something about selecting things like US English, and I don't know how what actually popped up for them. I also don't know were this path took them and ended.
    Next apparently my mother went searching online. She found a Ask Yahoo that I couldn't relocate that told her to go into help, about windows media player. Then to go to Organize, then layout and show menu bar. Then step two she wrote down is About Windows Media Player -> tech.supportinfo. Specific File to determin codec. Right click file in Library - Properties on file tab - Audio Codec/Video Codec. (I don't know what she was attempting to do here and couldn't get a straight answer. I think the ask yahoo post told her she couldn't play the type of file because of a missing codec, but I dont think that is the problem, I inlcuded what she did though incase somehow it did something bad)
    She did some other searching and tried to get into device manager I think to see what it said about the DVD device, but I am not 100%.
    **So this is the poiny where I come home. I sit at the computer and pull up device manager.  The DVD device is not listed. I looked at every single entry in device manager, nothing has an exclamation point, and nothing says DVD/CD device or anything close. 
    I went to HP driver website and pulled up the drivers for this laptop. There was not a particular driver there for the DVD player.
    I resarted and went into the BIOS and went to the boot order options. The DVD drive does show up there. (I made no changes)
    When I insert a DVD or CD nothing happens. I can hear the drive spinning, but nothing happens on the OS. nothing pops up. It doesnt show up in my computer, and I can't find the DVD or CD to play through any program.
    I found this support article. https://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
    I tried all 5 of the resolutions. For resolution 3 I got to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}, but in the right pane there was nothing that said either UpperFilters or LowerFilters. When I did some searching I found some other people who had similar problems and fixed it by doing what is suggested in resolution 3 and deleting the entries for UpperFilters and LowerFilters, but they were never there for me to begin with.
    Now I am at a loss on what to do next. It seems like when he first put the DVD in the computer it was recognizing the DVD since it said something about DVD region it must have known a DVD was in there, but I never saw that screen. By the time I got to the computer nothing happens when I put any DVD or CD in.
    I apologize for the long post, and thank you for any help that can be provided. (Also I don't use Windows, so please try and explain things as layman as possible.)

    Hello RonFishing,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I understand the computer appears to be unable to play DVDs, and the required driver in Device Manager is not found. My response will not be as long as your post, but I will do what I can to assist you!
    I do not know what Windows operating system you are running. This will be important in resolving the issue. In the meantime, I welcome you to try the steps in this HP document: Resolving DVD and Blu-ray Movie Problems (Windows 7)
    Even though the document is for Windows 7, the steps are similar amongst all versions of Windows. Please try the steps and let me know the results.
    Thanks for choosing the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Apple Mobile Device USB Driver shows up with an ! in Device Manager (Windows 8)

    When trying to sync my iPhone 5C with iTunes for Windows 8, the device is not recognised on the software. I have checked that my devices are up to date and uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I've uninstalled and reinstalled 'Apple Mobile Device USB Driver' in Device Manager, yet it continues to come up with an '!' next to it, and when checking the properties it states "This device cannot start. (Code 10) The specified request is not a valid operation for the target device." How do I fix this problem?

    Hi, acxdunicorn.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below.  Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed.

  • Bluetooth driver uninstalled from device manager

    This has been highly frustrating but here goes, I recently bought a small bluetooth dongle from ebay that came with no drivers as it is labeled as plug and play, when I plugged it into my laptop it found it straight away but installed it as a bluetooth radio, i was advised by a friend to uninstall the bluetooth radio driver from device manager and download bluesoleil which is what i did. now blue soleil does not recognise the device and the laptop tells me Usb Device Not Recognized, i have searched and searched for fixes but nothing has helped, could anyone advise or provide me with the correct software, this is not a branded device either so device specific software  is unavailable.
    Please help, p.s im using windows xp sp3.
    Thanks

    Just download the latest Bluetooth stack for your operating system. Extract the it and execute the exe file. Follow the instructions.
    You can transfer your files easily by using the file exporer when the bluetooth software is installed again.
    Just right-click on the file which should be sent and select "to Bluetooth" from the context menu ...
    or
    Right click on the bluetooth icon in the system tray can select Bluetooth Information Exchanger. Discover the bluetooth devices by using the Bluetooth menu and use e.g. the OPP folder to drag and drop the file to you mobile phone. You can also use ftp if you mobile phone supports it. You can transfer
    serveral files at once with it.
    or
    just use the synchronisation software if your mobile phone offers one.

  • Search in device manager for driver updated on a certain date.

    How do I search for a driver I updated on 06/13/2014 so I can roll it back ? I can't remember which one it is. I was trying to download a game. The update slowed my machine way down and the print is much smaller.

    Hi,
    I’m sorry to tell you that you can’t find the driver in Device Manager by the way you said.
    You can open Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Update
    and click View Update History, then find the update according to
    Date Installed.
    Also you can start computer and typing F8, then click
    Repair Your Computer to perform System Restore to fix this issue.

  • Equium P200D PSPBNE: device manager does not show the DVD-RW DVR-K17A ATA DVD/CD

    Hello experts out there i need urgent help!!
    My Equium P200D all of a sudden it decided to show the DVD/CD Drive in device manager as no longer working due to a corrupt driver??
    I am running Vista Home and despite deleting the drive and trying to update the driver nothing seem's to work can anybody help i am getting to the point of throwing it out of the window.
    Regards
    Stephen

    Hi dude
    This issue is known to me it happened to me too
    The problem is you Windows registry!!!
    One registry entry is corrupt and therefore the CD/DVD ROM does not work as I should.
    So what to do.
    Firstly remove the driver from the device manager. Just simply delete it.
    Then access the registry and and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    Then reboot the notebook.

    For what it's worth. I had the same problem, and here is how I fixed.
    I downloaded Roxio Uninstaller and deleted everything Apple.  Itunes, Bonjour, Apple Mobile Divce Manager, and Safari, everything get rid of it all.  the good thing about roxio is that you can scan for anything that the program uninstaller missed. 
    Then I down loaded itunes again and Whalaa!  It now works.
