ThinkPad X230 cannot shudown, suspend or hibernate

Hello,
We have just bought 3 ThinkPad X230 and one of them has a problem; when i tried to do a suspend, the system comes back to the logon screen 1 or 2 second after the suspend, if I tried hibernate, the power button led flashes rapidely and the system restart and if i try to shutdown the machine, the machine restarts.
I am using the preload that was installed on the machine.
I have tried to restore the bios default settings -> NOK.
i have tried to upgrade the firmware of the SSD, no update needed -> NOK
I have tried to do a BIOS update -> NOK
I have used the machine without the battery, it's the same -> NOK
I have tried to use the machine only with the battery -> NOK
I have done the memory and SSD diagnostics, both are OK -> NOK
I have installed Windows 7 from scratch with all the lenovo drivers, same problem -> NOK
One thing is, as soon as I plug the machine on the AC adapter, the machines starts. Is this normal ? (i don't think so but I ask to be sure)
Another thing, the power button doesn't seem to work. I can press on the power button as long as i want, nothing happen (no suspend or 'forced' shutdown)
Does anyone have an idea what I can do ?
I think the machine has a hardware problem as the two others are OK.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Marc.

Hi, MarcVDH
Due to all the testing you have tried thus far, I am inclined to agree with you about the issue being hardware-related. A clean install of Windows 7 should've fixed all software issues the machine may have been having. As such, I would recommend giving support a call at (0)2 339 3611 and telling them of your issue.
Also, as for the machine turning on when the AC adapter is attached, this is a BIOS setting in certain ThinkPads. I'm not sure if it is in the X230, but I know that it is available in the X220t. If you'd like to check, it can be found under Config ► Power in the BIOS.
Hope it helps,
Adam

  • "No Internet access" yellow icon on ThinkPad X230 after updating Intel PROSet wireless drivers

    I have a ThinkPad X230 that began to display the yellow exclamation point icon for "No internet access" after I did a batch of updates.  It has an Intel Advanced-N 6205 wireless card and is updated to the newest BIOS.  I tried everything I could find on Google to try and fix the issue, and found no issues in these forums to users having an issue.  So after fighting with it for a day, I decided to wipe the system and reinstall Windows.
    I loaded Windows 7 Enterprise X64 with SP1 and did not domain join the laptop, so it is totally untouched Windows.  and then installed the Intel wired networking drivers version 11.15.16.0, which were downloaded from Lenovo.  I then installed the Intel wireless network drivers version 15.03.1000.1637 which were also downloaded from Lenovo.  Everything is working fine at this point.  I then loaded TVSU 5.02.0011 to get all the other Lenovo software.  One of the updates offered was Intel wireless 15.6.1, so being careful, I selected only that update and installed it.  After a restart, the yellow icon is there, even though I haven't yet connected to any wireless network - it is in place for the wired connection too.  Uninstalling the 15.6.1 drivers would not make it go away.  Installing 15.03.1000.1637 again also doesn't make it go away.
    A System Restore to revert to before the installation occurs does make the icon go away.
    I did some more searching on Google and the Intel Community forums have a report of this same issue from a user on a Dell machine: http://communities.intel.com/thread/38498.  There is no solution posted as of yet.  I have posted my problem there now too.
    Has anyone experienced this issue and is there any fix besides System Restore or a reformat if the new drivers get installed?  I expect the drivers made available via TVSU to be rock solid, this is why I follow what TVSU even if there are newer drivers from the manufacturer sometimes.
    Myself I use a T420s with an Ultimate-N 6300 wirelss card, and the newest Intel drivers installed onto my machine without issue.  I also have a couple other X230 computers that I am pretty sure have the drivers as well already without problems.  So I am wondering if there is some sort of firmware issue with the particular wireless card, or something is causing the drivers to not install in the correct way.  Just my thoughts.
    Current: ThinkPad Tablet 2 | 64GB // ThinkPad T440s | i7-4600U | 12GB | 512GB SSD | FHD MT
    Previous: ThinkPad T420s // ThinkPad T410s

    I deploy a lot of X230 laptops and have been dealing with this issue.  Since I cannot find any information about the cause and how to fix it I started looking more into it.  The "No internet access" yellow icon starts appearing after installing items from System Update.  So, with a new X230 I applied all Windows Update (which installed without issues) before going into System Update.  After doing the Critical and most of the Rcommended (don't care for Access Connections) I proceeded to the Optional updates which I installed one at a time.  When I installed the WiFi Driver for Intel cards 7(64), Version 15.6.1 and rebooted the system the yellow icon appeared with the "No internet connection" status.  Everything still works though, I can still connect to the internet.  Doing a driver rollback does not fix the problem.  I did a system restore from a restore point prior the last System Update and the yellow icon went away.  finished the rest of the Optional updates except the WiFi driver and all is well.  This is what I did and went through, not sure if it will be the same for everybody.  But Lenovo needs to look into that driver version.

  • X230 Cannot connect bluetooth device

    Hi All,
    I know other people have posted similar issues but this one doens't match any other so I'll ask the community for help.
    I have an X230 running WinXP, and I cannot find a way to add a Bluetooth device to the computer.
    The latest bluetooth driver for XP is installed. The Bluetooth is enabled in the BIOS.
    The Bluetooth icon is in the systray. It is Red.
    All I can do is right click on it - it says "Bluetooth Device not found".
    In My Computer, the My Bluetooth places icon doesn't do anything when I click it other than create a shortcut on my Desktop.
    When I click the Desktop shortcut, it only runs a Bluetooth file transfer wizard sugessting Bluetooth is working.
    I cannot find an add device bluetooth wizard anywhere. Can anyone help?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to hear that you are not able to use Bluetooth in your Lenovo ThinkPad X230.
    Make sure that you have turned on the physical switch to turn on the Wireless connections.
    Install hotkey drivers and turn on wireless connections using FN+F5.
    Hope this helps!
    Best regards,
    Mithun.

  • What is the best possible battery configuration on thinkpad x230?

    I am leaning towards buying a Lenovo thinkpad x230 with 6 cell main battery as well as a 44++ 9 cell battery and a 19+ six cell battery configuration (6 +9+6 cell battery configuration). My queries are
    1. Can all three of the batteries work in conjunction without any issues?
    2. Do i need to charge the batteries separately or they all get charged simultaneously while i plug a charger in the laptop?
    3. Is there any other battery option ( like a 9 cell main plus a 44++ 9 cell and a 19+ 6 cell, i.e. 9+9+6 cells) that can work ?

    I have a Zagg Sparq which works quite well. I have the 1.0 version, but there are newer ones now. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if they're in any retail stores.
    I can use it as a charger, or my version holds about one charge. The newer ones have more capacity.

  • [SOLVED] Poweroff, suspend and hibernate don't work

    I installed Archlinux on my work desktop on Monday and can't get poweroff, suspend and hibernate to work. The command `systemctl poweroff` sort of works, except it doesn't actually turn off the computer. Suspend and hibernate don't work at all, the computer hangs on the terminal with a cursor on the top left corner of the screen. Here is the log from `journalctl`. There doesn't seem to be any error messages in it, as far as I can see.

  • ThinkPad X230 in Hand, First Thoughts Review

    I'm the lucky recipient of an early ThinkPad X230, it's a review I got yesterday and have had about 24 hours to mess with now (well, I did sleep, so make that 16).  Happy to answer any questions, I'll copy and paste below much of what I wrote in the preview on LaptopReviews.com minus some of the images and video to be bandwidth friendly.
    Earlier this week Lenovo announced the ThinkPad X230, a 12.5” screen ultraportable targeted at business buyers. While the X230 won’t go on sale via Lenovo.com until June 2012 (keep an eye on this X230 product page for availablility) we were lucky enough to receive an early review sample to try out. As most of you familiar with the ThinkPad brand know, change is generally slow from one generation to the next to keep the enterprise buying folks from getting all worked up. One thing that certainly almost never changed much was the keyboard. Until now that is.  The X230 and the rest of the ThinkPad line have adopted a new keyboard styling that uses an island style key layout and drops down to six rows of keys from seven. There are a few other changes and added features, the keyboard backlighting being my personal favorite, but for the most part the X230 is just an evolution of the X220 design wise and of course has updated internal components to boost performance.
    Keyboard Comparison with X220
    Let’s jump right to the part a lot of people are interested in hearing about -- the keyboard.  Again, a video helps to show exactly what the visual differences are so we’ll show that first and then talk about the perceived usability differences:
    ThinkPad X220 and X230 keyboard Comparison
    The first concern I had was whether the spacing of the keys was the same or different enough to cause a problem getting used to the X230 keyboard.  I was also concerned that the travel distance and feel of the keys would be different.  Rest assured, despite the very different look, the keyboard is very similar in feel to previous generations and the typing differences were really only noticeable to me when I had both the X220 and X230 next to each other and I could test the difference.  Here is what I found to be different in terms of feel, at least as far as my perception goes:
    The X230 keys seem to have a slightly lighter touch, you don’t have to push quite as hard to register a keystroke
    The X230  key surface area is slightly larger, I don’t have calipers to measure this exactly, but you can see it’s the case.  This is partly why Lenovo is claiming the new keyboard makes typing more accurate.
    The X230 keys felt slightly more slippery and not as textured as those on the X220
    Keep in mind, those are just the perceived differences in feel.  The layout has changed from six rows to seven rows, which forces a repositioning of keys that could trip up users used to the old ThinkPad keyboard.  To name just a few:
    The “Forward” and “Back” browser shortcut buttons above the left and right arrow keys are gone
    PgUp and PgDn move from the top row down to above the left and right arrow keys
    The Delete button has shrunk and moved further to the edge of the keyboard, which is almost impossible to reach without lifting the hand
    Print Screen and Insert are both moved, the Pause button and Scroll Lock are gone
    Home and End have been moved and are actually now more within reach of the pinky than before
    All media key functionality using Fn + has been moved to the F1 – F12 function keys, this is a good thing and eliminates the scattered nature of media keys in previous generations
    There are probably more differences in positioning, but those are the major ones.  I’ll also note that the Enter key is now black instead of blue and they’ve removed the “return arrow”.  In fact, a lot of the icons have been axed to make the look more clean, the arrows on the Shift key, Caps Lock and Tab keys are all gone.  It certainly does have the result of the keyboard looking more plain and clean.
    The real test is of course whether your typing is affected by the changes.  I generally type at around 80 WPM so figured I’d do a typing test using this WPM online tool to see how I faired doing the test on the X220 and then the X230.  Look, I’m not here to make an advertorial for Lenovo but I got the exact same 76 WPM score on each notebook and was ever so slightly more accurate on the X230 where I made no mistakes.  Of course, that’s one trial run, but it’s all I had the patience for and figured it was enough to provide anecdotal evidence that most users should transition just fine.
    ThinkPad X220 typing test: 76 Words per minute, one mistake made when I mistyped “M” instead of “N” for November (though there is such thing as Movember and it is a worthy cancer charity I might add)
    ThinkPad X230 typing test: 76 Words per minute, exactly the same result as the X220 but no typing mistakes
    Another new feature on the X230 is the keyboard backlight.  You can toggle between two levels of keyboard backlight brightness or use the ThinkLight positioned in the screen that shines down on the keys.  Here’s a video demoing how this looks and works:
    And below is a picture of the backlight set at its strongest level:
    Bottom line on the keyboard changes, the usability is still top notch and all of the essential keys such as alpha, numeric and common cursor movement keys are in the same location.  The biggest challenge with changes will be in regards to remapping your brain to find and reach the keys that moved such as Home, End and Delete.  The backlighting option is a definite improvement and recommended upgrade.
    Size and Weight
    While the ThinkPad X230 weighs 2.96lbs when you use the small sized 4-cell battery, Lenovo isn’t changing its marketing to call this an Ultrabook.  The thickness ranges from 0.75-inches at the front to 1.05-inches at the back due to the slope.  The 1” thickness is fat compared to the 0.68” the upcoming ThinkPad X1 Carbon will have.  That under 3lbs of weight doesn’t hold for the standard 6-cell battery either, this review unit has a weight of 3lbs 7 ounces (3.44lbs).
    Full First Thoughts Review Here

    Thanks for the excellent review.
    I am disappointed in the new keyboard choice, outside of the move to chiclet keys the move to 6 rows is just blasphemous.  As a user and owner of 10+ thinkpads, the x220 and t420s will be my last. 
    Lenovo may not even care as the general business consumer doesn't favor one keyboard style over the other, but legions of thinkpad fans will be left behind.  A sad state of things indeed.

  • Lenovo ThinkPad X230 Expresscard Help

    I have a Lenovo ThinkPad X230 (which I love dearly) and have a few question about ports and booting.  I would first like to verify that the port on the left side of the laptop directly above one of the USB ports is indeed an ExpressCard 54.  I have searched the web, but have yet to find a definite answer, and my user manual simply stated "ExpressCard."  Furthermore, I would like to know if it is possible to boot an operating system from said port using an ExpressCard 34 SSD (64GB).  I have the intention of installing openSUSE 12.3 to the potential SSD and be able to boot from it.  I greatly appreciate any help.  I  would post an image of said port, but I am being told the image file is much too large.
    Solved!

    It is Expresscard 54 (5 Gbps max). But it doesn't support booting.

  • Thinkpad X230 Battery issues

    It's been about 5 months since I started to use my Thinkpad  X230.  Only three days ago it could work for 5-6 hours without charging.  I could charge it at home, bring it to school and use it without charging.  But suddenly the battery started to die in a short amount of time.  Then I explored the battery settings a little bit.  I found out it says "Battery Condition: poor" and "Your battery can 47% of its original full charge capacity."  
    It has warranty until 2015. So can Lenovo send me a new battery if I want so? Or is it a problem that warranty doesn't cover? Please help!!

    If you are running WIndows 7 on your X230, go into Power Manager and find the Battery Maintenance function.  Then run a Reset cycle on the battery and see how it comes up.
    The microprocessor in the battery can get out of sync with the battery capacity the X230 think should be available and that can cretae the sort of issue you have described.  Resetting the battery will resync the on board micrprocessor in eth battery with the expected battery capacity in Power Manager.

  • Thinkpad X230 could not recognize external DVD burner

    Hi, I received my Thinkpad X230 two weeks ago and was planning to make backup media.  However, X230 could not recognize my external DVD burner. It was not responding no matter which USB port I tried. The DVD burner works fine with my T400 and X201. Just want to know how to get X230 to work with the DVD burner so that I can make factory backup media. Thanks a lot!

    Hello,
    Your external USB DVD±RW disc drive may require more power than can be provided via one USB port in order to burn DVDs.  Did the drive come with a "double-headed" Y-shaped USB cable to connect to two USB ports on the notebook?  If so, try plugging both of the large ends into the ThinkPad's USB ports and the small end into the external drive and then see if it is now recognized by the computer.

  • No sound on flash videos on the internet after suspend and hibernate

    I have this:
    00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller
    Everytime I resume from suspend or hibernate with firefox open alongside with fully loaded flash videos, playing the videos doesn't produce any sound anymore.  I need to restart firefox in order to make it work again..:(
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for the help in advance

    I'm also having this problem.  Xfmedia plays audio just fine before and after suspend/resume, but pandora.com and hulu.com in firefox do not.  Also noticed that CPU usage skyrockets when trying to restart audio/video after resume in pandora/hulu.  In hulu, video restarts, but audio does not. 
    Interestingly, CPU usage also spikes if I restart audio in Xfmedia after resume, but the CPU hog is firefox not Xfmedia and Xfmedia audio plays just fine.  Have to close the hulu or pandora tab to get the CPU usage back to normal.  Wondering if it's just a bug in flash for linux.

  • Thinkpad X230 boots slow in userspace.

    Hey,
    my Thinkpad X230 suddenly started booting slow, a few weeks ago. It was booting in about 20s, now it takes about 120s. I can't find an obvious reason. It seems, it is hanging after the filesystem checks. The hard disk I/O led is not flashing, so it's probably not a slow I/O issue.
    No systemd service or mount takes unusually much time to startup.
    $ systemd-analyze blame | head -5
    9220ms [email protected]
    783ms [email protected]
    387ms laptop-mode.service
    236ms systemd-binfmt.service
    150ms lvmetad.service
    The startup time for the kernel seems pretty usual, about 100s for the userspace is definitely unusual for my configuration.
    $ systemd-analyze time
    Startup finished in 14184ms (kernel) + 99418ms (userspace) = 113603ms
    The boot graph (systemd-analyze plot, http://henning.orgizm.net/arch/boot.svg) indicates, the hanging (about 88s) happens between "mnt-platter.mount" and "local-fs.target". The filesystem for /mnt/platter is ext4, contains no errors and mounting in a live system is instantaneous.
    I tried booting with an initcpio generated by the last but one version of mkinitcpio (0.12.0-3) and it makes no difference.
    Does someone of you have the same problem or ideas for further debugging it?
    Regards,
    henning

    Hum, well I have found that sometimes the parallelization of systemd boot-up can make it seem like one thing is causing a problem when really it is something else.
    One sure fire way to figure out what it is, by had go through your journal and manually look through all the systemd messages from boot. Look for the timestamp it says it is Starting a service and subtract the timestamp when it says it has Started the service.
    By doing that I figured out that a problem I was having was tor.service was configured in such a way that at shutdown the Tor server would wait a long time before finishing taking down the tor server.

  • ThinkPad X230s WiFi whitelist

    The ThinkPad X230s (not the X230/X230i/X230t), has a recent BIOS update (as recent as Jan 2015) but when I put in my Intel 7260 AC card from another Lenovo X240 it said that it was an unauthorized network card.  If Lenovo isn't giving up on this rare machine yet (and BIOS updates mean they aren't), do they ever update the WiFi white list.

    It uses the same NGFF form factor as the X240/X240s

  • Thinkpad X230 and 29++ battery

    Hello guys I am ready to order ThinkPad x230 from Lenovo.de but the only option for the battery is 29, 29+ and 29++. Will there be a problem or can I continue with the order?

    The ThinkPad X230 uses 44, 44+ or 44++ batteries. The 29 series batteries are only made for ThinkPad X220. The 29 batteries in the X230 will not charge, as it will be seen as NON-authentic battery.
