4.28.10 - BIOS update in test to address power consumption when using switchable graphics and resuming from suspend / sleep state.  Will update once the BIOS is released to the web.
Problems with U330 drivers:
-APS is not accurate
Solution: Download and apply lattest APS drivers.
Download 32 bit Win 7
Download 64 bit Win 7
-Switchable graphics not working on both x86 and x64 platform
Solution: Download latest BIOS from here then flash your laptop and reinstall ATI Discrete Drivers.
-Screen brightness cannot be adjusted if switchable graphics is selected in the BIOS.
Solution: Should work now after you flash BIOS and reinstall discrete drivers.
-Windows restart will be stuck at a black screen (Not sure if this is related to drivers but most likely)
Solution: Should work now after you flash BIOS and reinstall discrete drivers.
-Secondary Display and Extended Display do not work
Solution: Should work now after you flash BIOS and reinstall discrete drivers.
Please send me a PM if you found solution to any of the problems listed above so I can update the thread. Thank you!
Recommendations:
Run Discrete Graphics
I've been playing around with the crippled drivers lately. I found that it's probably best to run discrete graphics since Intel GPU isn't really saving you power at all. I'm using drivers available through ATI's website. I'm getting around 3 hrs with power saving mode with some adjustments. My brightness adjustment works with ATI drivers and Window's dimming capability works. So in the long run that will probably save you more power than running Intel GPU. If anyone is able to get better battery life please let me know.
Disable APS
APS is not working properly so it's better not to have it at all in my opinion. It's constantly stopping the hard drive even though there are no strong vibrations or movement.
APS drivers have been updated and are reported to resolve prior issues.  
Solved!

Hi,
I think that APS is not working properly. It is too acurate. When I just move my laptop in APS application I can see that my laptop is shaking for a 30 seconds and then my hard drive is stopped. I knew that everything couldn't be great. How can they  (Lenovo) publish drivers without testing them?? Now there are two drivers, first the MOST important - switchable graphics - and now APS. I am just wondering why always Ideapads have to have problems with drivers?? We were waitng for a year without any support and now they give us faulty drivers. CONGARTUATIONS Lenovo!!!

  • U330 Windows 7 Drivers Not Working

    Hello,
    I have recently been in the process of updating all of my drivers on my u330-2267EU to the latest Windows 7 versions. I had been waiting for this update to the drivers site for some time since I was able to get Windows 7 installed before the Oct 22nd release. I am running Windows 7 64bit and I am running into some trouble with these newest drivers not working correctly.
    u330 Driver Download Site (Using Win 7 64bit Versions): http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_list.aspx?CategoryID=16
    Switchable Graphics: there are 2 new Windows 7 drivers related to video that I downloaded. One referring to the discrete ATI graphics card, and the other to the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator. After installing both of these, setting BIOS for Switchable Graphics, and running the Switchable Graphics program from the desktop after bootup, brings up the desired menu with the option to switch from power saving gpu to the high performance gpu. When I click the "high performance gpu" button, the screen flickers and fades to black momentarily as it should, but when the screen returns and after waiting for a few minutes no switch is made, it just stays in the powersaving gpu. Suggestions?
    Power Management Software: I also downloaded Lenovo's Energy Management Windows 7 driver for the u330. After installing the software I was initially able to bring up the menu to change power options, but the options that I chose would not make any apparent changes. Actually, after installing the program, it made my screen incapable of changing its brightness using the "function + arrow" button combination. Also, no longer when i change my default power windows power options will it adjust my screen brightness. It just stays the same no matter what. The only way that I can now change the brightness of my screen is by going into the graphics settings of the Intel GMA and change the settings there, but that is a completely horrible way of having to do that.
    So there you have it, after all this waiting I still dont have the ability to utilize the switchable graphics nor properly use the Lenovo Power Management software. Oh yea, and I still cant adjust the brightness of my screen. I have re-downloaded and re-installed these drivers many times to try to get them to work correctly, but so far no luck.
    I would greatly appreciate any help on the subject or at least have the knowledge that someone at Lenovo has noticed these problems and a fix is coming soon
    thanks!

  • [HP 2000-bf69WM] DOwngrading back to Windows 7 from Windows 8, drivers?

    I am done with Windows 8. The needle in the coffin is UEFI and dual booting linux.
    Is there another laptop model I can pull Win7(64bit) drivers from?  I know my model does not have Win7 drivers directly available from HP but I see some people are getting replies from HP to use another models drivers.
    Thanks guys.

    ****Disclaimer*****
    HP doesn't recommend the installation of Windows 7 on a consumer computer shipped with Windows 8, nor will it support the installation of Windows 7. HP may not provide Windows 7 drivers and suitable drivers may not be available for the hardware in the computer. Also, Windows 7 may not support some of the hardware or software features designed for the computer.
    Make sure you create your HP Recovery Discs or USB Flash Recovery media before modifying or changing ANYTHING.
    You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "BIOS Secure Boot cofiguration" on the settings page shown below, before you can attempt to install Windows 7;
    Additionally, as the hard drive is most likely partitioned as GPT, you will have to boot the computer using the "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" or "UEFI - USB Flash drive" options in the "F9" boot menu. If "UEFI - CD/DVD drive",  "UEFI - USB Flash drive" or something to that effect doesn't exist in the boot menu, please post a screen shot and/or descibe the listed boot options.
    I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best intallation experience. If you need Windows SP1, please see "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" to download and create your own Windows 7 SP1 disc. If the DVD refuses to boot as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (may require DISABLING "Fast Boot" in the BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid UEFI enabled USB Flash drive if it is formated as NTFS and may require a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer, or WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, as it has options for "GPT partition scheme for UEFI computer" and "FAT32".
    If you still have missing or unknown devices after installing the drivers, please post the Windows Device Manager's "Hardware Ids" (just the string of text will do) for those devices as shown in the example below;
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • Vista drivers problems Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Noteb

    First thing to do: haveyour systemchecked out, if windows says the hardware is failing there may really be something wrong with it.
    If the SB card works in an XP machine there may be a problem in the the PCI slot or controller on the motherboard, either way have a tech shop look at it. If thehardware allchecks out: before putting the card back in completely delete the old driver and software, download the new one without installing it, then put the card in and windows should try to auto-install with the new driver.P.S. the platinum version is the one with thecontrol panel that slots into a dri've bay, if you have one of those, it's a platinum, if not, it's a regulHi all, how are you
    I have a Sony VAIO VGN-SZ430N/B notebook, and I'm trying to install Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Notebook on it (Unfortunately, the notebook came with windows vista business from factory).
    This notebook has a Texas Instruments PCMCIA controller.
    Under "Device Manager" the PCMCIA controller is described as "Texas
    Instruments PCI-8x2/7x2/6x2 CardBus Controller", but on Sony's
    webpage the driver that seems to be related to it is "Texas
    Instruments PCI74 Integrated FlashMedia Controller Driver".
    It is kind of all in one solution from Texas Instruments (PCMCIA
    controller, Memory Card reader, and Firewire controller).
    Please, may someone help me to answer the questions bellow
    1)Are there any kind of compatibility problem between this notebook PCMCIA controller (described above), and Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Notebook
    2)I've already brought this notebook to Sony's support service, so they could verify if there is any kind of hardware problem with the notebook. Sony's technician wasn't able to find any hardware problems on it, but I'm experiencing the problem described below:
    2.)Every time that I plug this sound card on my notebook, and I try to install Creative's latest windows Vista drivers(Creative Sound Blaster Audigy series Vista Driver 2.2.0002), thus It leads me to a Blue Screen during the driver installation process. Please, Does somebody know what could be this problem root causeIt is very weird, even if i try to install this sound card on clean windows vista install, then it leads me to blue screen. Besides, I have another PCMCIA card from another manufacturer, and I was able to install its windows vista drivers with no problem.(It sounds that Creative labs' vista drivers is the problem root cause as I've tested this sound card on a different notebook with windows xp and It worked fine).
    3)Does anyone know if creative is planning to release a windows vista driver that allows the users to use all of this sound card featuresSo far the latest driver available doesn't support even DVD-Audio. Have creative labs discontinued this product
    I appreciate any help you can give me,
    thanks in advance,
    Rogerr ZS.

    The best advice I can give is to fully remove ALL Creative software.We've compiled a list of entries that will cause problems here. It's very important before installing newer files.http://nomoregoatsoup.wordpress.com/...tall-problems/Then install some better drivers and see if that cures your issues. The 2.2.0002 drivers are really, really awful, 99% of people I've spoken to had problems with them. I personally like 2.5.0002 Hope this helps.

  • Lenovo Yoga Windows 8.1 Update Solution Thread

    Before you attempt anything, I would suggest you read it first . This is probably not a conclusive guide for everyone's situation.
    I updated to Windows 8.1 about a couple of hours ago and it's screwed up everything. I noticed users on this forum having a load of problems too so here's my 'roughish' guide on resololving all the issues that affected me (Lenovo Yoga 13 (2191))
    Lenovo have release some official upgrade literature (incl rough solutions)
    http://download.lenovo.com/lenovo/content/windows8-1/upgrade/ideapad/index_en.html
    You are going to need to download new drivers and reinstall a few apps.
    Windows 8 Drivers (Back them up - Do not delete them)
    This is what I've done. All of your drivers will be stored in c:\Drivers if you haven't got a custom installation. I would move everything in there into a new folder (C:\Drivers\Windows 8) so you have a historical backup because the Windows 8.1 may not upgrade them all.
    Windows 8.1 Drivers
    Go here;
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_GB/
    Click Drivers & Software and search Yoga. This link should take you directly there but they never seem to post right on forums so...
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_GB/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS032590
    Change the filter to show Windows 8.1 as the OS. Download everything it displays and save it in a new folder (C:\Drivers\Windows 8.1).
    Now you have all the new drivers ready to install. Go into your C:\Drivers\Windows 8.1 folder and install each thing in the list on by one. If they request a reboot I would suggest you do that before progressing onto another driver. Do this until everything is installed.
    At the time of writing the drivers include;
    Bluetooth/Wlan, Camera, Card Reader, Chipset (Important), Management engine, Alscontrol, Dynamic Platform & Thermal Framework & Graphics.
    WARNING:
    Updating Wifi  drivers it may reset your settings (lose network passwords etc) so you may need to get your wifi pass to hand or skip this driver if you have no problems.
    Graphics
    My graphics went blurry. This was due to the HD graphics driver. This is in this pack. This fixed it for me, but in case it doesn't totally fix your problem, there is a suggestion to change a setting if problems persist of your graphics (Thanks Ezekial)
    1. Right-click on Desktop and select "Screen resolution" option.
    2. Now click on "Make text and other items larger or smaller" link.
    3. It'll open "Display" settings page. You can also directly open "Display" window by selecting "Personalize" option from Desktop context menu and then click on "Display" link given at the bottom of left-sidebar.
    4. Now enable "Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays" option and apply the changes.
    5. Restart your system and your problem will be fixed.
    Trackpad
    If you have a problem where you lose your trackpad like I did, you can uninstall in that device manager but I would suggest you are careful in there. You can then click actions, and scan for hardware changes. 
    Get to Device manager this way;
    Right click My Computer/This Computer and click manage. Down the left side look for Device Manager.
    When updating the drivers (anything with an exclamation mark) you should right click and update drivers. Search in your new folder. If you installed all the above drivers you may have nothing here.
    Airplane Mode Hotkey/Function
    To fix the problem with the AirPlane mode not working you will need to go back to the above downloads page and change the filter to Windows 8 and look in Power Management. You will need that. I had to run it with Windows 8 compatibility and Run as administrator.
    Lenovo Transition/Auto-Rotate/Keyboard Disabler
    Download this;
    http://driverdl.lenovo.com.cn/lenovo/DriverFilesUploadFloder/36071/Win8_lenovo_transition_x64.exe
    (Thanks to the other th3is & mikey94025)
    Uninstall Lenovo Tranisition.
    Reboot.
    Reinstall the downloaded version. If it fails at the end, reboot. If it's still sketchy uninstall, reboot and install again but with Windows 8 compatibility. Hopefully you won't need to do that though.
    Sound
    This was broken. Drivers haven't been updated so in device manage update from your "C:\Drivers\(Windows 8)" folder
    Bluetooth
    I haven't tested my bluetooth yet, but if your's is broken the drivers are in your "C:\Drivers\(Windows 8.1)"  folder if you downloaded the drivers linked above..
    Others
    Citrix Receiver (I wouldn't expect this to affect the majority of you)
    My desktop version of this broke. Maybe my custom installation, but a reinstall with the same commands fixed this.
    Windows Update
    I would suggest you enable this and make sure you are up-to-date. Swipe in from the right and search for update. Find Windows Update.
    I would also update other apps & drivers (link on that page to download an update to enable this.
    I don't seem to have any other problems. The support page Is not all completely relevant IMO and it has some drastic views on what you should do to upgrade. Just take note that McAffe may have also broken, so be careful on the net as you may be unprotected.
    You may want to run through Device manager on anything you are still having problems with. Also depending on the age of your yoga there may still be other things you could update, but unless you have a problem, I wouldn't really worry too much. 
    Windows 8.1 also no longer pins your apps to the start page by default. Now just swipe up from the bottom to find your apps if you want to pin them or just search for them (swipe in from the right)
    Good luck!!! Sorry if I missed anything.

    Can you be more specific with the below, as I can't make sense of what you're referring to?  I don't know what element size is at all, or where to change it.  And, I don't know what you mean by unchecking a checkbox in the device manager as there are no checkboxes.  More guidance and specifics would be appreciated.
    * Change the element size back to recover from blurry text
    * Go to device manager and uncheck that checkbox for the first of the USB devices in HID so that the touchscreen does always react on the first touch (this setting has been lost during the update process)

  • Q190 Windows 7 drivers don't work

    Just received a pair of Q190s in the post and I immediately imaged them with our office's standard Win7 64 bit image. None of the Windows 7 drivers work. Not one. I ended up going to Realtek's site to get the NIC's driver. Any help would be appreciated. 

    Hi Gilgamesh1082, welcome to the forum,
    exactly what do you mean by "None of the Windows 7 drivers work"; you were able to find and download them but there were problems installing them?
    Some drivers require a two stage installation, firstly the driver wil be extracted to a location and then needs to be installed from there.  If this were the case with the LAN driver it would have extracted to  c:\drivers\Realtek LAN Driver
    Did you download them from the Q190 Driver Matrix?

  • When will U110 windows 7 drivers be complete ready?

    It has been a month since U330 roll out it's windows 7 drivers (while U110 drivers remain more or less unofficial).
    May i know that is it possible for the drivers be tested and post officially into the U110 drivers page? It would be good if we can play with it before Christmas comes.
    Thanks for the hardwork! 
    Lenovo U110, Windows 7 Professional x86 32bit - Windows 7 RC build7100 - Vista Home Premium
    IBM X31, Windows XP SP3

    Most of the drivers for vista are still usable from the cd provided. However, bluetooth may not work properly. webcam sometimes have problem with other software for no obvious reason. (actually very obvious with incompatible driver).
    If you have problem with certain driver, can copy to harddisk, then set it to be compatible with windows xp sp3. it should be able to install and function properly.
    If it still cant work, go get U330 drivers and try your luck.
    Besides the above, the rest are working fine.
    Then, when my x31 died, the change of motherboard took only 2 hours and 30 minutes from the time i pass the laptop to the lady at service counter till they called and told me the laptop was ready for collection.
    I was surprised.
    Now, two months has pass and no admin reply to this.
    I am surprised.
    U110 is not a mainstream product.
    It targets at premium market i believe.
    If the after sales service are only for mainstream model,
    we understand it, and we will do the corresponding adjustment in our next purchase.
    I am waiting for the official drivers, still.
    But, not as loyal as before.
    May be, i am waiting for my U110 to die as well.

  • Satellite A300 and Windows 7 drivers

    Hi
    Is anybody know, when or if actually will be a drivers operative for Windows Seven for this laptop????

    Hey buddy
    Are you sure that you want to use Windows 7?
    Dont forget that Windows 7 is only a beta version and it could include a lot of problems or something else.
    I think the better solution would be Windows Vista or the older XP.
    However, try to use the Windows Vista drivers that you can find on the Toshiba website or you search on external websites for drivers.
    Good luck! ;)

  • Deskjet 940c Windows 7 Drivers

    I'm trying to find the Windows 7 drivers for a Deskjet 940c printer.
    I have followed the instructions at the HP site but the Deskjet 940c is not on the list. 
    I work for General Motors and Window 7 was installed by HP so I don't have access to any install CDs.
    Any answers?

    You mention a USB cable and a multi-prong cable.  Are you using a USB-Parallel converter?  these can be problematic, it would be better to just use a standard USB cable as shown in the top picture in the document here.

  • U410 - Clean Windows 8 install problems

    Dear Lenovo,
    I'm installing windows 8 pro 64-bit from scratch. Downloaded all the windows 8 drivers from the support site (ofcourse the x64 variants for the 64-bit install), and roughly 75% of the driver packages fail to install correctly. Are you aware of these problems? Result; touchpad not functioning properly, no working wifi (at all, had to use an usb wifi module), 2 unknown modules in device management. Probably more i didnt notice off the bat.
    I was also trying to update my bios with the bios package from the download page, and altho this one installs/launches, it states i have an invalid bios file.
    Any comments?

  • Update to Windows 7 - Drivers missing for Lenovo 3000 v200

    Hi, I bet this not the first post on the matter but I really need help with this...
    I just got my laptop (3000 v200) updated to Windows 7 and it seems that many of the drivers are missing (fx. the microphone, webcam and touchpad). I've been browsing the net for solutions but sadly I haven't found a single solution which could fix my problem, most likely because I am not an advanced computer guy.
    If there is anyone who can point me into the right direction or tell me if there is a complete Lenovo Drivers Update Package then I would appreciate it very much.

    check lenovo download page first but i don't think lenovo doesn't provide windows 7 drivers for your computer. if you have vista drivers, you can try to use them instead of.
    by the way, are you using realtek drivers for sound? if yes, you can download the drivers from directly realtek.com 

  • Windows 7 Bootcamp problem?

    Hello people,
    Let me start from the beginning. I have been trying to make a bootcamp partition on my iMac mid 2007 to run windows 7 on. This has been a very bumpy road so far and now I'm stuck at a bump. So far, this is what all I have done:
    1. Use bootcamp support to create a bootcamp partition.
    2. Install windows 7 from disk.
    This is where it gets bumpy. At the completing installation portion of this, my screen goes black, and doesn't return. Easy enough, its probably a driver problem. So I
    3. Restart and boot to CD into repair my computer.
    4. Go to command prompt, and issue the command DEL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ATIKMDAG.SYS
    5. Restart. Says "Preparing computer for first time use."
    Good from here right? WRONG. New error message: The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Press OK to restart and restart installation. After some searching, turns out a quick registry fix can solve this problem.
    6. Press shift+f10 to open CMD. issue command regedit.
    7. Go to the setup part of the registry (HKeyLocalMachine/System/Setup/Status/ChildCompletion) change the value from 3 to 1.
    8. Restart. Setup continues, finishes, boots into Windows 7 and 800x600 resolution.
    9. I go to screen resolution, and change it to max, and it works. Everything is great almost.
    Now, remember that atikmdag.sys file I had to delete to get the setup to reappear instead of that black screen? Well turns out, with that file gone, my computer now reads my graphics driver as corrupt or as having a problem, preventing many games and applications from booting up without giving a graphics card error. THIS is where I am stuck now. If atikmdag.sys is a vital file to the driver for the graphics card, how can I keep it where it is, but still boot up without a black screen? Reinstalling my video driver or reinstalling the bootcamp drivers cause the black screen or blue screen of death, so I have to delete that .sys file again to boot correctly. But without this .sys file, it seems my computer will always throw the corrupt/problem error at me?
    Let me say, I have tried to download the catalyst drivers and use the atikmdag.sy_ file from there and issue the command "expand.exe atikmdag.sy_ atikmdag.sys" to make a new sys file for it, and this works and it boots with the file, but device management then throws the error that all of the packages arent signed correctly and refuses to boot the driver at all. Any help?
    Cheers, Adam

    easy enough, just confirm that you have no other usb devices connected to your mac
    where is your current w7 disk from? we're going to make a new one unless you tell me its a retail disk
    dl a fresh w7 iso from below and google bootable iso disk on osx for steps
    http://techverse.net/download-windows-7-iso-x86-x64-microsofts-official-servers/
    open boot camp assistant and if you have an option to delete/remove windows, do that
    open disk utility and confirm that you only have 1 partition ('mac hd' unless you've renamed it), if not you need to get back to 1 partition

  • Windows XP Installation problem on Mac Pro (Early 2009)

    I am wanting to install Windows XP on 400GB of my hard drive in Bay 2
    I have 2 hard drives in my Mac Pro. The 1st one came pre-installed and I got a 1TB Western Digital SATA and formatted it as Mac OS Journaled. I used The Bootcamp Utility to make a Windows partition on my 2nd hard drive.
    Once I do that I insert the Windows XP SP3 install disc to install it and it says it cannot install it because some random file is missing that is a random bunch of letter and numbers and it says I should erase the partition and try formatting it again. While I'm still using the Windows XP install disc I try doing this it does not work and then when I boot back into Snow Leopard the Bootcamp partition is still there.
    Is this not possible? Or is the only way to install Windows XP on the hard drive in bay 2 by formatting the entire drive for Windows?

    Since the Vista recovery works fine there must be a problem with the XP installation CD created by nLite. And yes this installation CD was not good. I created it with all current Security Patches and with all available Toshiba Satellite A200 Windows XP drivers. Obvisiously i picked up a wrong driver. May a 64-bit one.
    I tried this:
    First I created a new Windows XP disc only with the Toshiba Storage Manager driver. This XP Installation works.
    Then I created again a Windows XP disc will all Security Patches and all Toshiba Drivers. I doubble checked that I did NOT picked up a 64-bit driver. And this disc works. Thanks all.
