ThinkVantage Power Management Driver v1.55 link broken

I would like to update some drivers that require the updating of ThinkVantage Power Management Driver to v1.55. Unfortunately, the link for that driver seems broken. Here is the link. It says:
Our apologies
There is a problem retrieving the document MIGR-4GXPEG
Does anyone know the deal with this or who the correct person at Lenovo would be to report this to?
Thanks.

Power Management Driver wont install in Windows 7

Hi All, I've been trying to get my blue Fn keys to work on my recently purchased SL500. Volume and screen brightness keys work (but no on-screen display), however Fn+F3 & F5 do nothing, as does the blue ThinkVantage button. Installed drivers via System Update, however every time I get the message "Package did not install - ThinkPad Power Management Driver for SL Series". Power Manager is installed and running but the driver is not listed under Program & Features. I'm guessing the lack of this driver is the problem. Anyone else seen this or have a fix ? Thanks.

Please visit: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds014985 but don't download the most current version (3.89.0100) at the top. If you look at the readme, you'll see that the SL500 is not included in the supported systems list.
Instead, scroll downwards to the version table and have a look at the readme for v3.88.0000. You'll see your machine in the supported list, so you could give that one a try, if you want.
Regards.

Power Management Driver wont install - SL500, Windows 7

Hi All, I've been trying to get my blue Fn keys to work on my recently purchased SL500. Volume and screen brightness keys work (but no on-screen display), however Fn+F3 & F5 do nothing, same with the blue ThinkVantage button. I've installed the drivers via System Update, however each time I get the message "Package did not install - ThinkPad Power Management Driver for SL Series". The version number is 1.44. Power Manager is installed and running but the driver is not listed under Program & Features. I'm guessing the lack of this driver is the problem. Anyone else seen this or have a fix ? Thanks.

ThinkPad Power Management Driver 1.51 and TV CSS 8.2

After installing ThinkPad Power Management Driver 1.51 I could no longer
open ThinkVantage Client Security System 8.2. Not from the ThinkVantage
Menu on my Start Menu, nor within Firefox on its Tools Menu.
This was a distinct PITA.

Thanks for the suggestion!
Before posting i checked my procs and services, on which i always keep a tight watch - for performance/power and security reasons.
No big CPU/DRAM/IO consumer was visible; my CPU in 0.7GHz forced state totals under 5% utilization on average... and yet, the battery still drained 2-3x faster. Also my Wifi is always off, hard switched. Ditto BT and all other IO, except the 480GB mSata Crucial SSD.
No obvious change was visible, except some tiny new proceses launched by Lenovo Settings Dependency: Sierra wireless (?), mobile hotspot, AVmute cam/mike etc.
Eventually i killed and disabled most of the Lenovo Settings Dependency (except muteCam) amd reverted back to PWM 1.67.03. My battery life went back to 8 hrs, from the 3-4 before.
Unclear who the hogs are, but i suspect multiple culprits, most likely in the Lenovo Settings Dependency group. I'll test some more, since this group performs rather questionable in value functions to me (i'm only using the muteCam). Seems a candidate for removal.

T430s Windows 8 Thinkvantage Power Management not working

Hi!
On my t430s I can't get the Thinkvantag Power Manager working. Was someone succesful with this?
Thanks!

"Erm...how do I do that??"
Install Power Management driver. Download Lenovo Power Manager for Windows7 to desktop or wherever you want.
Right click the file > Properties > Compatibility > Windows7. Haven't tried it myself but it appears people with Windows
8 say that it's working.

Thinkpad yoga S1 Power Managment driver disabled

Hi,
I have since a few days my Power managment driver which doesn't recognize the battery any more.
I have checked in the Windows Device Manager, which says: "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)"
Do you know where does the problem come from?
Can it be related to a very recent Windows update I have made? (I'm on Windows 8.1)
Thanks in advance.
Solved!

Problem solved by reinstalling the driver.

How Can I get v1.52 of "ThinkPad Power Management driver for Windows"?

The subject says it all: How can I get v1.52 of the "ThinkPad Power Management driver for Windows Vista, XP, 2000, Me, 98 SE - ThinkPad" driver? Since installing v1.53 I've been experiencing screen issues (screen goes dark, and it's very hard to get the screen brightness back to normal) that seem to be tied to my T40p entering sleep mode / turning off the screen.
I want to see if reverting back to v1.52 fixes these problems.
Thanks,

Update Retriever - Error Downloading Power Management Driver

There is an error in Update Retriever, when I try to download the Lenovo Power Management Driver 1.67.00.02 (giku06ww).
The error message is:
1 update failed to be downloaded.
For me it looks like the XML file does not contain a valid CRC information for the file.

Found a workaround: (I am not sure, why the CRCs are incorrect. It is possible, that the current driver is compromised!)
download manually the files for the power management driver:
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/giku06ww.exe
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/giku06ww.txt
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/giku06ww_2_.xml
There is an error in the XML file, the CRC sum and file size is not correct. calculate the SHA1 CRCs for the files and change the sizes:
      <File>
        <Name>giku06ww.exe</Name>
        <CRC>C9803CFF3B6A8A096AAED2737FB6D6FD3B63B5CA</CRC>

ThinkVantage Power Manager - idle time for screen brightness fixed at 1minute (very anoying)

Dear all,
Please consider this problem:
I have just recieved my new X301 which I am very pleased with. However the ThinkVantage Power Manager has a very annoying bug. When creating a custom power scheme everything works as it should (as far as I can tell) except for one thing. Whilst in the "Idle timers" section the first drop down box which allows you to select the "lower display brightness" time in the "battery settings" column I find that I can select any of the options provided, i.e. "After 1 minute", "After 2 minutes", ...etc "After 45 minutes" or "Never". HOWEVER, regardless of what option I select the power manager instantly reverts back to "After 1 minute" as soon as I exit (selecting the "apply" button or the "okay" button does not help). This is incredibly anoying as it means I'm constantly harrased by the sreen changing brighness when I don't want it to OR having to set the "Lower to" setting to the same as the active screen brightness which means there are no power saving advantages at all and I get the anoying flash of the brightness bars on the screen every 60 seconds (that's 60 times in a working hour!)
I have done the following to try to resolve the problem:
1) updated the power manager to the latest verion: 1.54
2) uninstalled the power manager comletely and then reinstalled it, then applied the updates bit by bit and checking the problem at each stage
3) completely restored the entire system to factory setup (formatting the SSD and losing all data and settings...)
NONE of these options have worked. Please note that this is a brand new system out of the box... (cost 2800USD...)
Can anyone please confirm whether or not this happens on their system as well? Is it just me or is this a global problem? I've called the Lenovo ThinkVantage call centre in the US but they couldn't help.
Thanks for your help,
AMS.

This is clearly a bug in PM 1.54. I get the same thing with my old X40, Win XP, SP3. I've recently installed PM 1.54, and have the same problem. It has nothing to do with scheduled tasks, as (a) I don't have any (and don't run the Task Scheduler service on my machine), and (b) it happens immediately (ie. edits are lost as soon as I try to apply them).
Does anyone know if there is an official place to log bugs for TP software?
[editM also kicks in with the 'idle' timer while I'm working.I like its functions, but PM does seem buggy]

When comes N200 power manager driver for 7? Hotkeys not working without it.

Hello,
Will be there release for power manager driver for Windows 7?
I did install all drivers, could find under download for 7 and infact, without power manager driver hotkeys (sleep, hibernate) on N200 do not work.
Solved it with installing Vista power manager driver with compatibility mode and bingo, all keys started work and I'm able to sleep/hibernate my laptop.
Why isn't there driver for 7 if without it things do not fully function?

try these : 32 bit - 64 bit or try smart downloading

What power management driver for u530 64bit Windows 8.1?

Having a lot of issues with my new (refurbished) Lenovo u530. One issue is that I have an unknown device in device manager that appears to be related to my lack of a power management driver. The reason I have no power management driver is because lenovo offers none to download on the drivers page when I select windows 8.1.
The Windows 8 option lists as working with the u530, Z410, Z510, Z710.
http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ideapad-u-series-laptops/ideapad...
When I go to the support page for z410/z510 I see they have an 8.1 driver available, but u530 is not listed.
http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ideapad-z-series-laptops/ideapad...
Z710 also has no 8.1 driver available on the lenovo site.
I have found a reference out there that suggested this driver: http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/em8180214.exe but it's kind of out of nowhere and don't want to try it without somebody saying it's correct.

hi RegerREdhawk,
Thanks for Posting!
I would suggest using the same Windows 8 Power Management Software,
Lenvo Energy Management Driver for Windows 8 (32-bit, 64-bit) - IdeaPad U530 Touch, Z410, Z510, Z710
Im pretty sure that the version for 8.1 will be released for this model.
Hope this helps

X240 power management driver for Windows 8.1

Installed the power management driver for Win 8.1 I am using the registry to START and STOP my charging process with the following reg keys ( I am doing it this way since there is no Power Manager software):
ChargeStartControl
ChargeStartPercentage
ChargeStopControl
ChargeStopPercentage
Been using it for a while, I dont allow the battery to charge unless it is under 35% and I was stoping at 85%.
I tried changing the stop back to 100% and it will not change past 85%. I have rebooted, unistalled the driver, removed microsoft ACPI, replaced ACPI .. Nothing works. This was working about a month ago.
For the record, for whatever reason, removing the power management driver does not remove the reg keys ... I dont know why ...
Am I missing something or do I have a bad battery?

I will . Hope that Lenovo will do as needed. Anyone know a better way to be heard by Lenovo and get an answer for this issue?

Power Management Driver for Windows 8.1 missing (G510)

Hello,
There is no lenovo power management driver for windows 8.1 listed in the support page. There is only a version for windows 8 available. I need that driver and i need to have it. My laptop is the G510. When will the new version of the software be released? It's a new laptop and it should be fully compatible.
Till then, will installing windows 8 version of the program cause problems?
Thanks

I will . Hope that Lenovo will do as needed. Anyone know a better way to be heard by Lenovo and get an answer for this issue?

T61 Power Management Driver for Windows 7 - where?

I cannot find a released Power Management Driver for Windows 7 for the Thinkpad T61.
I see a version 1.60 but it does not include Windows 7 for the T61. And the only other one I have found is beta.
As an aside, do I even need the Power Management Driver if I'm not going to use Power Manager?

Right there in the T61 drivers and software dowload page: "Support -> Download Drivers and Software -> enter T61"
ThinkPad Power Management Driver
README for ThinkPad Power Management Driver
In the driver matrix, it's listed as for "ACPI Power Management" for Vista and lower - but is the same driver. The readme and download page include Win 7 if you dig a little deeper. Maybe that's what is causing the confustion.
[edit] Sorry, spoke too soon. I dug a little deeper. The readme doesn't list the T61 under WIn 7, only Vista. OTOH, the download page for the T61 lists that driver for Win 7. Anyone actually try it?
