Thinkpad T410 SSD Smart Test Fail

About 2 weeks ago started getting this Windows error message
The following hard disks are reporting failure:
Disk Name: SAMSUNG MMCRE28G8MXP-0VB
Volume C:\
Ran Lenovo Solution Center Hardware scan and everything passed except the SSD, here are the results.
Result code: WHD00F001-WI3X4K
SMART status test - Failed
Targeted read test - Passed
Random seek test - Passed
Funnel seek test - Passed
Drive Info

Partition: MBR
Any ideas? I can't find anything anywhere on this error.

Welcome to the forum!
Sounds like a failing SSD, but there have been reported one too many false positives of this nature...
Download and run HD tune to check the condition of the drive.

A SMART Test Failed on the Drive

Computer won't start load Windows usually. During Diagnostic, I received the following message:
ERROR CODE: BIOHD - 7
Error : A SMART test failed on the Drive
Testing: st3750528as (9up2y6fc)
Does this mean my hard disk is failing or is it a software problem? Will doing a disk recovery help?
This question was solved.

Hard drive i/o error, spinning beachballs. PASSES Smart test, but fails two specific parameters:

I'm on a Macbook from early 2007.
First off, I'm fully aware that my HD is probably on its last legs and I have two gigantic TB external HDs on which there are multiple images of the entire drive, so data loss is not currently a problem for me. I've also just finished college assignments for the summer so I can afford to mess around with this a bit before taking the plunge and replacing it.
What intrigues me is this. The machine has been extremely slow for a long time. Recently I disabled swapping and the speed rocketed, presumably due to the HD being utilized less during usage. Now the downside to disabling swapping is that when Safari Web Content gets out of control as it always eventually does, you can have a full on system hang which requires a forced shutdown through the power button. So it's very possible that the issues I'm currently experiencing are to do with the machine being improperly shut down one too many times and somehow damaging the drive itself.
But anyway, this is the interesting aspect. Using TTP I ran a SMART test on the internal HD from one of the bootable partitions on one of the external ones, and to my astonishment, it actually PASSES the smart test. The only two parameters which fail are the following:
Raw Read Error Rate
Write Error Count
An image of the SMART test results is attached:
Now to give you an example of the kind of issues I'm having, in order to take that screenshot I used "Grab". When searching for Grab in spotlight it gave me results from the internal HD and from all the various backup drives I have attached. I opened the internal copy and one from a backup partition on another drive (neither of which currently booted from). The one from the backup bounced and opened. The one from internal bounced about 15 times, the spotlight bar hung with a spinning beacball, and I ended up force quitting because I got sick of waiting for it. That's the major symptom of the issue I'm having.
Now here's the reason I'm posting. As I say I know this drive is about to go so there's no need to lecture me about that, I can't replace it immediately but plan to in the very near future when I have a chance. My question is this. Those two specific failed SMART results, what exactly would cause them in terms of HD problems? Bearing in mind that it passes every single other SMART parameter, am I looking at unmapped bad blocks, a physical problem with the head, a loose wire, a bad motor, or what? I'm just wondering specifically what might be wrong with the drive, out of pure curiosity more so than anything else. The fact that most parameters pass suggests to me that it's one very specific malfunction as opposed to the drive generally imploding.
A surface scan from TTP crashed, but not before giving me about 30 "Used block is not a file" messages.
Finally, to temporarily use this drive, what's the procedure? If it's unmapped bad blocks, to I erase and install, or do I go into the whole "zero all data, then reformat" option? I have a backup image taken last night from the external drive which I can restore to the internal any time I want, and as I say with so many backups and so few deadlines ahead of me I don't mind messing around a bit and experimenting.
So if it IS a bad block issue, what does one do to force it to map them?

Had a feeling. As I say it's already fully backed up and ATM I'm running the machine off a partition on the external. But as I say, I'm curious as to what's actually wrong with it - what type of damage / failure would cause those specific smart parameters to fail but not the rest? The motor, the head, the disk surface, what?

Pavilion G6-1203ey: Hard Disk Test FAILED, but can still boot into Windows

Hello
I have HP Pavilion G6-1203ey laptop. After installing Windows (7 ultimate, 64 bit) and some drivers on it and after several restarts, it hanged at Windows logo and I had to turn it off with power button. Then after turning it on, it gave me the option to repair problems which are preventing it from starting up, from there I let it to restore the computer to an earlier restore point and after a restart the Windows was working again. After that I decided to do a hard disk check just in case.
The Hard Disk Self Test ended up with a message: Hard Disk 1 Full (305). Then I installed HP Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Support Environment and did hard disk from there. I chose the comprehensive test from the options, but it finished fairly quickly (in ~1 minute) with the following output:
Testing Drive: 1
Hard Disk SMART Check : PASSED
Hard Disk Short DST : FAILED
FAILURE ID : PTTU22-5T774L-MFPV4K-60S003
PRODUCT ID : A5Q15EA#B1R
Hard Disk 1
Hard Disk Test : FAILED
A bit more background:
The previous owner told me that the original HDD was faulty which is why he replaced it with this one last year. He said that other than that there has been no problems with the laptop. The Windows is working right now and this HDD is quite new so I would not have expected any problems with it, but the results from the previously mentioned tests seem troubling. Is there a reason to worry?
Thanks

I read your post and looked into the failure ID that you posted regarding the failed Short DST test. That error is indicating a hard disk failure meaning that if it hasn't failed it might soon. If everything is working I would considering backing up your data on a regular basis just to be safe. You could have a local technician take a look at the hard drive to see how close it is to full failure.

9 cell battery performance on Thinkpad T410

I have just bought new ThinkPad T410 with 9 Cell Lithium-Ion
Power 94 Watts/55++. This battery is advivertised to run for 18 hours, but to my laptop it runs for about 6 hours on a single charge for normal use. what is wrong with my loptop because it has failed to meet my expectationns of all day Computing on a single charge.
this laptop is has 4gb of ram and windows 7 professional 64 bits and is about one week since I bought it. any advice to increase battery performance

the 18 hrs figure require another 9 cells battery slice. Although it is up to, and the manufacturer's battery figure are at most time too idealised.

HP Pavilion g6-2330dx. "No Boot Device. Insert boot disk and press any key" Memory test failed

Hi. So I am trying to help a friend with her laptop. It's a HP Pavilion g6-2330dx.
Product #: D1C01UA#ABA
Serial #: [Personal Information Removed]
Windows 8
ADATA 4GB RAM
Toshiba 640GB HDD from the looks of it.
The laptop is unable to boot into Windows, so I suspect the hard drive. But I ran the hard drive test and it passed all the tests. The SMART test and both the short and long test. I ran the tests multiple times and it passed each time. I tried reseating the hard drive and still no go. I also removed the HDD and connected it to my desktop PC to see if it detects and it did. Ran the Windows 7 own HDD test and it passed.
Currently, there doesnt seem to be any operating system at all on the HDD. When I check, there is a C: drive of ~90GB partition that is ~90GB free, but inside there are Windows files/folders. There is also a D: drive Recovery partition that says ~26GB with only ~2GB free, but when I go inside there's only ~350MB worth of data.
So then I ran the memory test (in BIOS) and it failed immediately. I reseated the RAM module. I tried the other slot. It still failed. So is it safe to say the memory is the cause of this problem?
Pressing the F11 key that is supposed to take me to the System Recovery only leads me back to the black screen with "No Boot Device. Insert boot disk and press any key"
I even tried to install Windows 7 to see if it'll work. I was able to get the laptop to boot/read off the Windows 7. But when I click to install, it asks for a boot device driver or something like that.
My friend doesn't have the recovery disk either. I guess she lost it.
Anyway, is it as simple as replacing the memory or could it actually be the HDD (even though it passes)?
EDIT: This is what the System Log in BIOS says
0021           Time: 10/13/2014
03F0           Time: 10/13/2014
03F0           Time: 10/13/2014
The date was the first time I ran the tests. I havent received those numbers (error codes?) since.
EDIT: Just for kicks, I ran Memtest 2.11 just now (forgot I had the disc) and it immediately went red with thousands of errors, hah.

Hi bghs,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a fantastic place to find answers and information.
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I understand that you were unable to boot into Windows, and you suspected the hard drive and tested it, but it passed both short and long test. With that being said and the fact that it also passed leads me to believe the hard drive is fine.
You tested the memory and it failed. You tried reseating and swapping slots but they still failed the test.
I would test each card individual with the memtest to determine if it is just one or both cards that have an issue.
When you installed it in another computer, you did see the recovery partition. Once the memory issue is resolved, if you are still unable to boot into Windows, I suggest you do a recovery with the minimized image.   Here is a link to Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8) to assist you with that process.
I hope this helps.

Hard drive test failed

Hi
My HP Pavilion G6 is showing HARD DISK IMMINENT FAILURE on startup and asks to go in diagnostics.
When I run any test it shows SMART CHECK - FAILED.
Failure ID: OTSE1F-5LC77B-XD015G-60FV03
Product ID: QA498EA#ABV
HARD DISK 1.
However, when i choose to continue startup, it loads Windows but runs very irritatingly slow.
How can i get it fixed?

Hi,
The 24 character error code for the Smart failure would indicate that the Hard Drive is failing and needs to be replaced. This is also consistent with the slow loading/performance issues you describe.
If your notebook is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange to have the drive replaced - you can check your warranty status Here.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.
If you are out of warranty and would like a guide on replacing the Hard Drive yourself, please let me know.

Hard Drive Broken: Long Generic test fails!

Hello
I just did a SeaGate test to test my hard drive, and the test fails already after 10 seconds! I discover the problem when i get errors with documents in Word and other programs. When i try to save them, the program says that the permission of the file is denied. When i try to save to external HD or USB, there is no problem...
My computer is only 1 year and a couple of months !?

Hello Honkerd,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand that your SeaGate test fails after 10 seconds. I will do my best to assist you! To begin, I will provide an article that shows all SeaGate errors: How do I interpret SMART diagnostic utilities results?
Usually, issues like this occur when there is a corruption on an Administrator profile, or if you are not using an Administrator profile. I would create a new Administrator account and try it out. Let me know what happens!
Thanks for choosing the HP Forums! Have a great day!

SMART tests PASS, but my Spin-up Retry Count is in the yellow

I've had my computer for almost three years. AppleCare is on the verge of expiring. I just toook my MacBook in for a trackpad replacement.
I use TechTools Pro for my hardware testing. My computer passes all of its tests, but I notice that the test for the Spin-Up Retry Count on the SMART status of my harddrive is not totally in the red, but in the yellow, and even then its closer to green than to red. My computer still works great. It does slow down and Spinning-wheel-of-death alot when I'm doing alot of high-CPU load tasks, but for the most part, it still works great. Is this Spin-Up Retry Count something I should be concerned with? My other tests report no bad sectors, bad blocks, or anything else wrong.

Back up all data, then uninstall the worthless, time-wasting "TechTool" product according to the developer's instructions. Reboot. Problem solved.
Oh, that made my day. I actually did that, when I found the Unix tool smartmontools. Set it to perform a full check weekly, and email me if SMART check failed. No use seeing that stuff Techtools shows you.

T430 2342CTO - SanDisk 16GB mSATA Target Read Test Fail

Hi all, my Lenovo Solution Center (LSC) told me that my mSATA had a targetd read test fail. I ran the test myself and it had the same issue. Read some threads and tried the LSC test but only tested the SSD, and it passed all tests when ran this way.
Went to the IBM Electronic Service Call website and entered the details and they sent me an empty box to ship my laptop back for repair. This seems overkill as I'm sure I could just pop in a new mSATA if that really was the problem, I don't want to give up my PC.
My T430 seems to run fine. Wondering if this is a software problem with LSC? Here is my error code:
LENOVO HARDWARE SCAN ERROR: RESULT CODE: WHD01V002-UI8VYJ DATE RUN: 1/26/2013 - 14:52 DEVICE: SANDISK-SANDISKSSDU10016GB-123659310730
(don't get this error when I test the SSD by itself, only if SSD is tested right after the primary HD)
Is it worth sending back to Lenovo? Or does LSC have a glitch?
Thanks for any input
Graeme
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'd like to hear the answer to this as I'm on my second drive in 2 months of ownership. No symptoms other than that it failed this test.
Replacing the drives create a lot of work after because you have to reload all your programs, files and configure everything as you would for a new computer. They seen to want to keep throwing parts at this fix on mine.

Smart Check : FAILED

An auto-installing Windows Update caused my HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14 to no longer be able to log into Windows 8 successfully without saying that a disc could not be found. I tried using the system recovery tools on my own to restore the laptop, then contacted HP support.
The HP support personnel walked me through the same steps I had already taken, then suggested I take it in to a store that provided support for HP products. I've taken it to Office Max and Best Buy, where the store supporot personnel look at the following error:
A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed.
Error Code: 0xc0000185
You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. If you don't have any installation media (like a disc or USB device), contact your system administrator or PC Manufacturer
And tell me that it is a software issue, not covered by my warranty and I will need to purchase recovery disks. I borrowed a friend's Windows 8 install discs and used Rufus to create a bootable USB. But when I try to use the USB to fix my laptop, it acts like it only recognizes the USB and not my hard drive.
When I run HP Basic System Diagnostics I get the following error:
SMART Check : FAILED
Failure ID : GU2FNJ-6H56T7-MFPx0K-60ff03
Product ID : C2K04UA#ABA
Hard Disk 1
I'm mostly running blind, but at this point I don't think it's a software issue. Am I wrong? I'm still under warranty for another few months, but every time I take it to a store they just want me to order recovery disks then come back and pay them to use them on the laptop. I'm really discouraged, and feel like I've tried everything to get HP to help me fix my laptop from an update that installed itself. What am I missing? Do I have any options?

Phone HP Support again and report the hard drive failed testing. They "should" at this point send you a replacement. Tell them you also need Recovery Media to boot from and install Windows on the new hdd-since the hdd failed before you got a set burned.
Be sure to write down the error code and give it to them. In the event it may be the hdd controller on the motherboard you may have to send it in.HP will usually send a box to ship it to them.
With any luck at all-even the support people at Best Buy or Office Max should realize the problem after hearing the test results and request a hdd or repair from HP. But_you may be better off contacting HP on your own again.
Good luck!

Unable to turn on wifi power saving thinkpad t410

Hi --
I'm having a bit of trouble getting my wireless power-saving to work. I'm using TLP, which has a wireless power save option which I've set to "on". However, when I run iwconfig it appears power-saving is disabled:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"dd-wrt"

When I try setting it manually I get an error:
sudo iwconfig wlan0 power on
Error for wireless request "Set Power Management" (8B2C) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.
Here's the relevant output of lspci:
03:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8191SEvB Wireless LAN Controller (rev 10)
I'm using the rtl8192se module, which has an option "ips" which enables link power saving. It defaults to "on", but I manually turned it on as well. Still no dice.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get wireless power-saving to work? Anyone with a thinkpad t410 had any luck?
Thanks in advance!

The realtek power saving feature does not work. At least I could never get it to work, nor could I ever find relevent documentation regarding powersaving on the device. It is kind of crappy IMO.

SMART Test question

I have two ipod classics gen 7 160gb. I am going to keep only one... I read on the net that I can run a diag test and I followed the steps... Here are the results from the SMART test - I dont know what these numbers mean...
1st ipod -
Retracts: 6
Reallocs: 2024
Pending Sectors: 16
PowerOn Hours: 212
Start/Stops:6823
Temp: Current 22C
Temp: Min 59C
Temp: Max 254C
BatteryA2D=4062
This one missed a few areas in the smart wheel test...
Cosmetically - like new
2nd ipod -
Retracts: 1
Reallocs: 0
Pending Sectors: 0
PowerOn Hours: 18
Start/Stops: 3493
Temp: Current 22C
Temp: Min 10C
Temp: Max 50C
Battery A2D=4170
This one passed the whole Auto Test
Cosmetically - minor scratch and one small dent
Which one is in a better shape? Please advise... Thanks

Hi Sp633,
The 2nd iPod is in significantly better shape over the first one.
High allocs and pending sectors show that the hard drive is starting to fail.
Don't look at it cosmetically; anyone can change a front panel. Keep the second one and it will last you for much longer than the first, since it has next-to-no hard drive issues visible at the time.
Good Luck,
Stefan

Thinkpad T410 HDD upgrade

Hello,
I'm about to upgrade HDD on my thinkpad T410 and I can't decide what to buy. So, I need to decide between a WD Scorpio Black 750GB 7200RPM or a WD scorpio Blue 1 TB and 5400 rpm. So can you please help me decide which one is better for my computer Thanks.

Between the two, I would opt for the Scorpio Black. I replaced my original T510 HDD with a Scorpio Black. Then, I replaced it with a Seagate Momentus XT hybrid and it really improved performance, especially boot/load time.
I have now replaced the Momentus XT with a Samsung 830 SSD, and it is even faster, but only by about 10 seconds on boot/load.
Boot time to fingerprint/PW entry with the XT was about 38 seconds I sent the used XT to a friend, and the comment back was "Wow!"
