Trying to locate Power Management 3.05 for Win7

Does anyone know where I can locate an archived Power Management driver? I'm trying to find the Windows 7, v. 3.05 file for some debugging that I'm doing.
Thanks...

Hi mickey16,
I understand you would like your computer to start at 8 AM automatically. Take a look at the following article: How to Turn ON your PC automatically. As it suggests, it may take a little searching, or, depending on your computer model, it might not have the setting to accomplish this task. Let me know if this helps. Best of luck to you.

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]

Any tips on getting power management/sleep working on an Ideapad y460 (0633)?

Hi All,
I've decied to try and put Windows 8 on a new SSD and try using it in my Idepad y460 (0633).
I've actually gotten most all of the drivers to work, including the AMD switchable graphics (by running that installer in Win7 compatibility mode).
However, I cannot get sleep to work properly. If not a crash, I experience random messages about services not running when I wake from sleep (i.e. audio service isn't running, network card is listed as 'unavailable', etc.) that require a restart to fix. I've tried running the power management driver listed for my model (http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS007793) in Win7 compatibility mode, but all it does is slow down my login, and make windows complain about known compatibility issues. Doesn't fix sleep. I've tried the Lenovo Power Managment for Windows 8 (http://support.lenovo.com/en_GR/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS030850), even though my device wasn't listed. It installs okay, but doesn't fix sleep issues, and the touch buttons still don't work.
For now, I've decided that "Do nothing" on lid close, while "Hibernate" for power button is fast enough and convenient, as those options work just fine. However, I would like sleep to be able to work.
I understand Windows 8 is not actually released yet, but I was wondering if anyone had tried this and found success, as this is the only problem I have left preventing me from using Windows 8 comfortably.
Thanks for any tips,
- Chase

maybe some hints.. elevated cmd prompt

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.

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?

T420 and windows 8(.1) power manager

As a two-year user of the T420 I am quite used to the power manager and its extended options. When I tried Windows 8 a couple of months ago I noticed that there were only the standard windows power management options available. Mind you, they worked fine, but they weren't near as good as the power manager of Lenovo.
My question is whether or not this functionality (power manager) is available for windows 8(.1) or will be available in the future?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There is no ThinkVantage Power Manager for Windows 8.
Power Plans and idle timers are managed by the OS itself.
Lenovo-specific power options like Battery Stretch and 30-Day Standby can be configured in Lenovo Settings.
What specific feature of Power Manager do you think you're missing on Win8?

Power Manager 2.30 Won't Install on Vista on R60

I have used System Update which tells me Power Manager is availa ble for install. I install and its says it is successful and asks me to reboot.
I reboot, but still now Power Manager. If I rerun System Update, I again get told that Power Manager is available for install. You get the idea. Also, the first install removed my orginal Power Manager.
I did successful install a Vista Power Manager driver. I tried removing it and attempting again, but have only been able to install the Driver again and no Power Manager.
Help appreciated.

Hello,
that´s bad, i would try a system restore, and when your system then runs satisfactionally, don´t Update!
The new power manager seems to have trouble with starting up und some functions are deleted.
Like showing of how much "watt" the system needs in DC mode.

Prob. installing Power Manager T61

Hi,
when i try to install the Power Manager on a T61 i get the errror message "Error occured while copying files" during setup. Try different installations without success. Any idea?
thanks
Kai

I would suggest going to http://www.lenovo.com/de/de/index.html and navigate to the Downloads und Treiber page, letting the page detect your system. Once you are on the correct page for your machine, download System Update. Install System Update and then let it manage the installation of the drivers you need.
If you already have tried to install Power Manager and have a non-functioning installation, un-install it first. You are correct about the interoperability and sequence of installing certain modules. The System Update does a good job of sorting that out. Good luck!

Thinkvantage power manager

My T400 is woeking fine but the battery gauge in my taskbar show the batter as bing not installed. Everything else works though. I tried uninstalling the power manager and reinstalling it. Ihave tried calling tech support but they are useless. Ideas?

Hi Pheckphul,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
ThinkVantage Power Manager is available only till Windows 7 OS, you won’t get Power Manager for Windows 8 and above, instead of that you can install Lenovo power management application.
To update the drivers and application for your system use ThinkVantage System Update utility.
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar

Radeon power management: can't write to /sys/class/drm/card0/device/

I'm trying to enable power management for my Radeon X850 using the open source driver and am failing miserably at it.
The wiki informs me to do this:
# echo dynpm > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method
which results in my computer telling me that I'm a complete and total loser:
bash: /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method: No such file or directory
I don't quite understand the whole "/sys" directory, and I feel like I'm missing something simple. Does anyone have a suggestion on what to do?
That section in the wiki article seems to be a little confusing, as if it's a combination of confusing and outdated instructions. Do I need to use the special [radeon] repository to get power management? What does it mean to "select the methods via sysfs"?
Thank you.

Power managment issue ?

Hello everyone , i'm actually using an MSI 560 Ti Hawk , after the 285.62 update i started facing the famous TDR while browsing with firefox.
It seems that removing hardware accelleration fixed it .
I also tried changing the power managment option in the nvidia control panel.. here is my question :
i moved it to prefer max performance from adaptive ( both in global and firefox specific ) , but i can't see any difference from the standard behaviour , the core is still sitting at 50 mhz
shouldn't it move up to max core ( 950 ) with this option ?
thx in advance

thx a lot for your help ,
couple more questions if you don't mind :D
is this the right bios ( i mean the updated one ) for my vga ? http://www.mediafire.com/?meo17jth7ufcert
do you have any other advice for the TDR issue with last 285.62 drivers rather than disabling hw accelleration on firefox and changing from adaptive to extreme performance ?
thx again

Nope, you have to ask Nvidia about it.
285.62 think was having such fix for IE browsers.
You can reisntall them, but remove any VGA drivers 1st in Safe Mode with >>Driver Sweeper<<
and also when installing the new one, choose custom install and chechmark "Clean Install"

My iphone won't switch on. I've tried holding the power and home button more than 30 seconds up to a few minutes but it didn't switch on and went straight to recovery mode. It died of a low battery and i already fully charged it i checked with my itunes.

i really need help here. I have only used my iphone for a month. my iphone won't switch on. it died of a low battery and i've already fully charged it and usually before it even fully charged, it will turn back on right but in my case nothing happened. i've tried holding the power and home button for 30 seconds and up to 2-3 minutes but no logo appear. it went straight to recovery mode. there's nothing wrong with my cable, i checked with itunes and this happened once a week ago but it did switch back on after i tried a few times but now it just won't switch on. i also have problems with my screen as there's some noises to the screen (i hope you get me) and when i turned the camera on, it was as if the whole screen is shaking. i'm currently studying in the middle east and there's no apple store here so i cannot use my warranty. i will only be back home in summer. please help me what should i do to at least switch my iphone on first.

I did a little bit of experimenting. I have an iPad original versions myself. I took it out of the box knowing that I haven used it in months and I expected the battery to be dead and sure enough the battery was as dead as I imagined it would be. For the first 30 minutes I experienced exactly what you are experiencing, but then the iPad suddenly powered up on its own (like it does when plugged into the charger) and I am using it now to type this response to you.
My point is that I am starting tothink that your battery has suddenly died on you for some reason or you have a hardware problem now. I would still try leaving the iPad charge for a while longer - maybe even overnight - and then try again in the morning. Unplug the iPad and try resetting with the home and sleep buttons. Try plugging the iPad in again. Unplug it, try restarting again. Let it charge for a while again.
After trying something like that, if it still will not start up, then I think it's time for a trip to an Apple Store and see what the Apple Techs think.

Problem with installing power manager

Hello,
I've been trying to install power manager 6.36 without success.
The first setup which installs files into "c:\swtools\readyapps\pwrmgrv" goes well. but when im trying to install Power Manager and click next to install to the destination folder ("Program files (x86)\ThinkPad\Utilities) it freezes.
http://postimage.org/image/4plchblmx/ - freezes here and cant do anything but exit the installation.
After it failed couple times I've been trying to install my original power manager 3.48 but it freezes just like 6.36.
*tried to install it with Manual Install & Silent Install - both failed.
What can I do?

I had the same issue with some sw earlier on my laptop with Win7/64 bit. That sw didn't want to be installed and needed the old .NET vesion. At the same time my system restricted old version .NET environment installtion process from M$ site or from sw installation package as I had up to date .NET. The result was I couldn't avoid that strange behaviour.

W520 "Power Manager has stopped working" then "finterprint software error"

For the last 6 months, I have not done any lenovo updates,and stuck with old working versions of bios, powermanager, nvidia drivers etc (having lived though the nightmanre of the fist 6 months with CPUs stuck at min on mains and max on batteries etc)
Then I re-installed from scratch and updated all lenovo drivers to the latest, which includes power manager 6.32
Now I get random "Power manager has stopped working" errors pop up for no apparent reason.
They are always accompanied by a finger print reader error:

hi eos,
Thanks for posting. Based from your post you'll probably need to reinstall the power manager and Fingerprint reader. I was checking the support site and it appread that there is also a patch for the powever manager that needs to be loaded.
At this point what I suggest is for you to uninstall the current Power manager you have install fro the link below.
Lenovo Power Management Driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), Vista (32-bit, 64-bit), XP (32-bit, 64-bit) - Notebook
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS014939
Power Manager for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), Vista (32-bit, 64-bit) - Notebook
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS014924
ThinkPad Power Manager Patch module for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), Vista (32-bit, 64-bit), XP - ThinkPad
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS018811
Please ensure to install all 3 links and check for the changes. In regards to the FingerPrint reader, I'm assuming that you have BIOEXCESS installed aswell. For the time being it is advisable to uninstall that too and check for changes. Once installed the power management. only the install a fresh copy of the BIOEXCESS and check for the changes then.
Do let me know of the update.
Regards.
