ThinkPad T440s

Sccm 2012 R2
Thought I'd just run this by the group, see if anyone else has seen this.
We just got in some new T440s laptops, when I go to PXE boot to reimage it goes through the normal process of PXE, gets and IP address, finds the PXE server then prompts me to F12, everything normal up to this point. But now it does accept F12, it exits
back to the boot menu choice.
So instead I use the SCCM boot media and everything works fine. What would do that?

ThinkPad T440s + Nvidia - ThinkPad USB 3.0 compatibility

As ThinkPad T440s with discrete graphics doesn't support docking stations is it possible to connect external monitor, AC, mouse, keyboard and headphones through ThinkPad USB 3.0?

Hi,
Which USB 3.0 dock are you refering to?
If it is this one:
http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/itemdetails/0A33970/460/EB6CE8241B8A47E18EBAF06F8726DA3E
Then the latest driver which supports Windows 8.1 can be found here:

Thinkpad T440s freezes with 2nd monitor via dock

Hi there - I have a strange problem with my Thinkpad T440s:
Connecting a 2nd monitor directly (VGA) works like a charm, however putting the Thinkpad into the docking station (with the 2nd monitor connected to the dock) freezes the system. Without the 2nd monitor the dock is working fine. When booting with the 2nd monitor connected to the dock, both screens stay black as soon as the kernel loads.
Is this a known problem / any ideas? Can I somehow help fixing this problem?
I know that I'm not the only one since I have found other people reporting this here: http://thinkpad-forum.de/threads/165520 … -und-Linux
They also provided an xorg.log (http://pastebin.com/Qk7nHVwt) which shows nothing suspicious, I guess...

Same issue with my T440p. Happens with VGA, DP & HDMI (haven't tested DVI) on the dock. Undocking unfreezes it. If X is running the X server freezes and consumes 20% CPU, if none is running a kworker process does that. Even with no monitor attached it will freeze when the builtin monitor wakes up from sleep (again, undocking helps).
Here's a stack trace from the frozen X (^C'd while it was frozen from waking up the display, gdb only reacted again after undocking):

Edit: "Solved" by returning the laptop. This issue plus the loud (and not well-controllable) fan and the lack of support for the fingerprint sensor (different from previous ThinkPad models, it's from Validity Sensors) just aren't worth the trouble.

Power manager for Thinkpad t440 with windows 8.1 pro

hello,
I has just upgraded my Thinkpad t440 from windows 7 to Windows 8.1 pro. But i could not find Power Manager software to install in my laptop. I want this software to manage my battery to ensure that it stop charging when 80% capacity. I think that it is useful for my battery.
Someone could help me where i can get this software. I could not find in lenovo website.

Starting with Windows 8, the conventional Power Manager with charging thresholds is no longer officially offered.
Here's a third party tool to set what you need:

You still need to have the requisite power management drivers installed for it to function properly.

Thinkpad T440 : Speakers not working only headphones

Hi,
I am facing a problem with a Thinkpad T440, there is no sound! it is looking like the speakers are not working, but when i plug in the headphones the sound come through the headphones.
I upgraded the drivers, tried to reinstall the OS but unfortunately nothing helps.
Thus, i disassembled the laptop and tried to figure out where the problem is? i find out that the speakers are working! I tried other speakers and the same thing happening > no sound
I tried to plug/unplug the headphones jack connector many times but without success
the headphone jack is apparently good at first sight!
Did anyone face the same issue that i am having?
Thanks in advance for help
Solved!

Thank you for your reply, I appreciate your help I tried this but it didn't help me
But I fixed my problem, I was increasing/decreasing the volume from the tool bar it wasn't working! I but I could see the waves when I put some music playing and no sound nothing was coming.
So I tried to deactivate the volume from F1. After that I increased the volume from the toolbar and hopefully it was working! so i figure out that the F1 and the sound card wasn't really syncing.
Thank you for your time and help

ThinkPad T440s will not turn on

Hi I'm to the forum and I have a problem with my Lenovo Thinkpad t440s. When I had switched HDD with another Lenovo and tried turning it on it just couldn't come on. So I tried removing its external battery and the ac adapter which didn't work. I also tried switching the old HDD back, and also tried removing its internal battery out for 60 seconds. Everything I've tried has failed, and would like to know if I should just send it to some Techs to look over it.
Also before I tried swapping the HDD I had previously turned off the internal battery because I heard people should.

$ xrandr --addmode DP1 1600x900
$ xrandr --output DP1 --mode 1600x900
but this failed with output
xrandr: Configure crtc 1 failed
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thinkpad T440s Ethernet Adapter Automatically Disabled

I have a Thinkpad T440s 20AQ with a Intel I218-LM ethernet adapter. The OS is Windows 8.1 x64
Since approx. half year ago, the ethernet adapter started to disable itself automatically every 1-4 weeks. The occurance of this problem has no pattern and is unexpectable.
When it happens, I cannot reenable it under Network Connection window. Rebooting the system has ~50% chance to solve this problem. The reliable way to solve this problem is disable and reenable the adapter under Device Manager.

Which driver version?

ThinkPad T440 - Bluetooth headphones do not work

I have a ThinkPad T440.
It has Windows 7.
Issue: The ThinkPad T440 recognizes the headphones when i turn the headphones on. But the ThinkPad T440 does NOT pair with the headphones.
I have downloaded the latest drivers but the issue still persists.
The issue i'm having is NOT specific to the type of bluetooth headphones i'm using because the issue happens with any type of bluetooth headphone i'm using.
The headphones do work because i can pair the headphones to my iphone 5 and i can listen to music/videos on my iphone with the headphones.
Previously i had a ThinkPad T430 and the headphones worked fine.
Also, i do have a mouse that is bluetooth and the mouse works fine with the ThinPad T440.
My bluetooth radio is turned on.
In Device Manager, under Bluetooth Radios, it displays Generic Bluetooth Adapter and Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator. Both of these have the latest drivers installed.
Does anybody have a solution to this issue?

Another forum enlightened me to the fact that T440s using Intel Bluetooth chips. This was the key to finding the secret sauce to get my Plantronics Voyager headset to work with a Lenovo T440.
The magic occurs when you head over to Intel's site and install the latest "Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software for Bluetooth® technology" for your platform:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&keyword=bluetooth
In my case, it was:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=24679&lang=eng
I'd then reboot as a safety measure. After installing it, there are no additional Start Menu items, but once you Add a Device from the Bluetooth Devices screen, all the appropriate device drivers for telephony and headset are automatically found.

ThinkPad T440 and Windows XP

Hello,
does anybody know if the ThinkPad T440 still supports Windows XP (I don't think so)?

T440 definitely does not support XP. As Microsoft will stop supporting XP within a couple months it did not make business sense to provide/test drivers for XP anymore. It is past time to start using a different OS.

Thinkpad T440 BIOS update without Windows Utility - problem

So I wanted to update my BIOS from 2.23 to 2.30 from here - http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds035967. First think's first - my T440 does not have any CD/DVD, so obviously I need a bootable USB to update my BIOS. Second, I'm using Ubuntu and no longer have (or want to have) the Windows installation.
In order to make a bootable USB with the BIOS iso file I tried 2 things:
1) Tried following this guide - httpawww.lenzg.net/archives/358-Updating-the-BIOS-on-my-ThinkPad-T440-without-Windows-or-a-DVD-Drive.html, everything seems to be have worked, except the fact that it does not boot when I try to boot trough the USB, and I bumped there.
2) Open a Windows on my second laptop and try to make a bootable USB from Windows (maybe it will help?). Tried both the standard Windows USB DVD Tool and got the error - "The selected file is not a valid ISO file. Please select a valid ISO file and try again." Fair enough, here I started to get suspisous that something is wrong. I tried and burned a bootable USB with PowerISO, but again as method 1) it does not boot.
Just to mention that in my BIOS I have the Secure Boot off and both the Legacy mode and UEFI, with Legacy first.
Any ideas how to proceed?

Sorry, I don't know about Linux much less then nothing.
But I'm sure there are the following tools for:
- disk/partition management, to make primary partition on the stick as active, to be bootable
- mount .iso image as a virtual CD to explore that one and get its content. Or, perhaps, there is .iso content viewer that supports CDFS.

Thinkpad T440s BIOS update via PXE fails with "invalid system disk"

Hi,
I'm trying to boot via PXE to the BIOS 2.24 update ISO image because the T440s comes without a DVD drive. The Thinkpads are running RHEL 6.5 workstation installed. I'm using syslinux 6.02 and the following menu entry:
label lenovo_t440s
    menu label Lenovo Thinkpad T440s BIOS 2.24 Update
    kernel memdisk
    append initrd=lenovo/t440s/gjuj11us.iso iso
The ISO gets loaded via TFTP and seems to boot, but then an error message appears:
Loading boot sector... booting...
Lenovo Group Limited
Invalid system disk
Replace the disk, and then press any key.
The Thinkpads come with the following SSD drive: SAMSUNG MZ7TD256HAFV-000L9.
Anyone had luck with updating BIOS via PXE boot?
We also have Thinkpads T430s. There the BIOS update ISO image loads, displays the menu, but when one presses "update firmware" then it freezes.
Regards,
Bernd

Same behaviour when I try without PXE and load memdisk and ISO file directly via GRUB using this entry in /boot/grub/grub.conf:
title ThinkPad BIOS Update
root (hd0,1)
kernel /memdisk iso
initrd /gjuj11us.iso

ThinkPad T440s review

Please see my full T440s review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1GdvPLqjdQ

Since you also have the IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro, can you provide your take between the two, and which one you'd be more likely to go with when more inclined productivity than leisure?
I've ordered the i7 Yoga 2 Pro with 8gb memory, but the similarly-spec'd ThinkPad Yoga aslo caught my eye. I'll be using primarily for software development. I like the lighter weight and slightly larger screen of the Yoga 2 Pro, but I'm not sure what, if anything, I might miss from the ThinkPad Yoga instead. (I'm not interested in the digitizer/pen support.) It looks like there might be slightly longer battery life out of the ThinkPad. Would there be significant differences in performance or in any other area? Thanks.

ThinkPad T440s + Nvidia = no docking?

Hi,
finally I see T440s with discrete graphic, but why no docking?
http://shop.lenovo.com/se/sv/laptops/thinkpad/t-series/t440s/
"Traditional docks are not available for T440s w/Nvidia graphics - however USB docking alternatives are available."
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Jin Li,
thanks for explanation. This is very bad decision from Lenovo, at least for me. Docking connector saves a lot of minutes in my life every day and I'm not sure if those OneLink (USB) alternatives are good solution. I wanted to go for 2x 24" screens.
GT 730M is another story and honestly I was expecting a bit more powefull chip, but as I remember from last 4-5 generations, Lenovo always used some mainstream graphic solution.

Fingerprint support on Windows 10 - ThinkPad T440 and newer

On Windows 7, 8, and 8.1, ThinkPad T/W/X systems use fingerprint software. T440 and later models use Lenovo Fingerprint Manager Pro. This software was needed because those versions of Windows did not natively support fingerprint readers.
Starting with Windows 10, Microsoft has added full support for fingerprint readers into the operating system. You only need a driver. The fingerprint software is no longer needed, and should be uninstalled prior to upgrading to Windows 10. The purpose of this guide is to help you upgrade your Win7/Win8/Win8.1 system to Windows 10, so that you can successfully continue using your fingerprint reader.
Before upgrading to Windows 10, you need to make sure you know your Windows password. Whether you have fingerprints enrolled or not, the Windows 10 upgrade process will ask you for your Windows password, so you must know it.
Below are the steps I took to successfully upgrade a T450 system running Windows 7. My system has 2 fingers enrolled, and I also have preboot authentication where I use my fingerprint to enter the BIOS Power-On password.
Open Control Panel -> Programs -> Uninstall a Program. Scroll down to Lenovo Fingerprint Manager Pro and then click on "Uninstall/Change".
Click "Yes" at the prompt about "Are you sure...?"
When the uninstallation finishes, click on "Finish" to restart the computer as prompted.
After the reboot, log into Windows using your Windows password.
Upgrade to Windows 10
After the upgrade, open Device Manager (type Device Manager into the search bar)
Expand the category for “Biometric devices”
Double-click on the fingerprint device. On my system, it’s called “Synaptics FP Sensors (WBF) (PID=0017)
Click on the “Driver” tab
Click on the “Update Driver…” button
Choose the option for “Search automatically for updated driver software…”
You should see a message like “Windows has successfully updated your driver software”. Click on “Close”
Back on the “Driver” tab, confirm that the Driver Version is now 4.5.308.0 or later. This is the latest version of the driver as of July 31, 2015
Click on “Close”, and then close Device Manager.
The next step is to enroll fingerprints in Windows 10, to do this, we use the new Windows 10 feature called “Windows Hello”. To get to it, open Settings -> Accounts -> Sign-in options
To use Windows Hello, Microsoft requires that you first set a PIN. Under the PIN section, click on the Add button to create a PIN. Follow the on-screen prompts to create your PIN.
Under the Windows Hello section, find the fingerprint item and click on the “Set up” button. Follow the on-screen prompts to enroll your finger. Enroll more fingers if you want to.
Windows 7 only: You might see a problem where the “Set up” button is greyed out, and you can’t click on it. You might also see red text at the top of the Sign-in options windows that says “Some settings are managed by your organization”. As of July 31, 2015, this is a bug that we are working with Microsoft to solve. You can manually fix it yourself by modifying the registry. Download the attached .reg file, double-click it, and then click on “Yes” to confirm that you want to modify the registry. Reboot the PC and then go back to step 17.
Any questions or comments, please leave them here. I hope this was helpful. Thanks for reading!
NOTE ABOUT T430 AND EARLIER:
These systems (with Authentec fingerprint readers) use ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software which is still needed on Windows 10. It can be downloaded here: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds036923

I too was fighting with my fingerprint reader after my upgrade from Windows 7 to 10. I have a Thinkpad W700 with an Authentec AES2810 reader. I think my computer would fall into the "Note about T430 and Earlier" section, but the ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software would not detect my Authentic reader. What worked for me was to uninstall all of the Lenovo software that I had from Windows 7 as the initial steps (1-5) indicate. In place of steps 6-14 (because Microsoft does not include the Authentec driver), install the Authentec WBF driver package from the link below on Dell's website. It does not have anything inside it that is branded just for Dell machines.... just the Authentec WBF compatible driver. http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=DFDJ9 After that, continue with steps 15-17 to set up Windows Hello to enable fingerprint based logins to Windows 10. My initial issues on all this was to get LastPass fingerprint scanning to work again. As best I can understand, it accesses the fingerprint reader through the Windows Biometric Framework. This driver allowed not only Windows to work with the fingerprint reader as Microsoft intended, but got LastPass working too.
