W540 crashes when turning airplane mode on.

I've already made this post but decided to do it again since more users have the W540 now, as well as to make things clearer.
When turning airplane mode on (F8 key), the laptop simply turns off - no BSOD.
Model: W540 20BG
OS: Windows 8.1 (happened on 8 as well)
I've tried reinstalling/resetting the OS, as well as reinstalling various drivers. Sometimes the problem will go away temporarily, but always comes back. 
Has anyone had this problem/has a solution?

No, that's the only way to do it. Seriously, tapping Settings then Airplane mode, which takes about 3 seconds is really too slow? Seriously?

  • Hi, im having problems with my iphone it would always be showing up "No Service" even when I get my simcard out, when i turn airplane mode it would switch to " Searching" and then go back to "No Service", i have tried restoring several times, but nothing

    Hi, im having problems with my iphone it would always be showing up "No Service" even when I get my simcard out, when i turn airplane mode it would switch to " Searching" and then go back to "No Service", i have tried restoring several times, but nothing has changed. I must say that my iphone was working perfectly until the last months my battery began to die all from a sudden, so my phone got turn off really frequently, so then i ordered a battery and changed it myself so when phone was on.. it had this problem..    im desperate here

    No I haven´t take it to Apple Store, i think I will actually. My iphone was jailbroken and ulocked with gevey sim, but when this failures began i decided to restore it, and I did preserve the baseband, but when I took it into one of these "Places" they told me it would be a good idea to do a clean restore and see if this fixed the problem so I upgraded my baseband, and right now my iphone is freshly restore, no jailbreak no nothing.
    Btw yes something like a year ago my screen was replaces by others not by apple, but I didnt had any issues after this.. until today (a little more than a year later).

  • Turning Airplane Mode "off" automatically turns on Wi-Fi

    If you switch airplane mode "on," and you have your wi-fi set to "off," when you turn airplane mode back "off," wi-fi automatically turns on.
    Has anyone else noticed this?

    My phone was doing the same thing. Doing the hard reset worked fine and fixed the problem.
    Thanks

  • TS3899 My email inbox doesn't update properly.  Specifically, it currently only downloads emails dated through 1/20/14 and today is 2/20/14.  I deleted the email account and added it back again, I rebooted my iPhone and I turned Airplane Mode on and off.

    My iPhone 4S currently only downloads emails dated through 1/20/14 and today is 2/20/14.  I deleted the email account and added it again, I reset my iPhone and I turned Airplane Mode on and off, but nothing seems to work.  Any suggestions?

    Are you saying it's not getting any email from AFTER 1/20/14, or are you saying you're only seeing mail FROM 1/20/14 to now?

  • TS1398 3GS IPhone will not recognize a Wi-Fi connection at home or work.  We have tried turning it on/off as well as turning airplane mode to on while turning it off then back on again.  My 3GS IPhone is working fine with our router at home.  Thanks

    My husband's 3GS IPhone will not recognize a Wi-Fi connection at home or work.  We have tried turning it on/off as well as turning airplane mode to on while turning it off then back on again.  My 3GS IPhone is working fine with our router at home.  Please advise what our next step should be.  Thank you for taking the time to read this post!!

    Just to double check you tried eveyrthing take a look at this link http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398 .
    Can also try powering off the home router, then the phone, and then power up the router wait for the signal and then power up the phone and see if he can connect.

  • Turn airplane mode off remotely

    I left my iPhone on a plane.  Its chraged and I want to use find my iPhone.  Does anyone know how to turn off airplane mode remotely?

    Cannot possibly be done, no way, no how.  In order to do any sort of remote cammand or control of any device, that device has to have a live data connection to send and receive information.  In airplane mode, all the radios are turned off, and the device is completely unable to send or receive any kind of data.  Its literally like trying to call someone on a landline when they have their home phone unplugged.
    Call the airport or airline and see if it was put in the lost and found.

  • [SOLVED] kwin crash when using OpenGL mode after upgrading to 4.7

    I have a Ideapad Y460 (Graphic: ATi Mobility Radeon 5650). Recent days I upgrade my KDE from 4.7RC (4.6.95) to 4.7 (4.7.00) and also Catalyst from 11.6 to 11.7.
    Update:
    The problem has been solved. I used [kde-unsupported] source and kdebase-workspace package in that source contains OpenGL ES support while Catalyst doesn't support it. Thank @csslayer.
    But when I use OpenGL mode, kwin crashed. I run
    kwin --replace
    to start kwin, then the Desktop Effect shows:
    OpenGL compositing (the default) has crashed KWin in the past.
    This was most likely due to a driver bug.
    If you think that you have meanwhile upgraded to a stable driver,
    you can reset this protection but be aware that this might result in an immediate crash!
    Alternatively, you might want to use the XRender backend instead.
    And there is a re-enable button. But the systemsettings window crashed when I pushed it.
    I checked ~/.xsessiong-error and it shows this:
    X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
    Major opcode: 20 (X_GetProperty)
    Resource id: 0x1c0015a
    I downgrade Catalyst but the problem still exists while KDE4.7 RC run well on my laptop. So I'm not sure whether it is caused by kwin or by Catalyst 11.7 or other packages.
    Does anyone know the solution? Thanks for your patience.

    I found an solution. Go to Settings/Mail, Contact, Calendar/Fetch new data and than enable Push and choose to fetch hourly or every 30 minutes. In this case your iPad will stay connected to wifi even when smart cover is closed. If you select Manualy than wifi connection will be terminated when in sleep mode.

  • HT5012 After a flight with airplane mode on, my attempts to get cellular data came up with a No SIM.   It says this in upper left and I am unable to turn on cellular.  I've tried turning airplane mode off and on and off but nothing changes.  Any help out

    My iPad2 with cellular is saying No SIM in top left.  I am unable to turn cellular on after a recent flight and having been in airplane mode.  Any helpful suggestions?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

    I downloaded the Muse theme template onegenius.muse and it consistently crashes when put into preview mode.  I have updated Adobe Air as well as the most up to date Muse version.

  • I have an iPhone 4S with Sprint, I had to replace my last phone after the newest update killed my wifi button. Now my new phone won't get 3G at all. I have tried turning my phone off/on, resetting my networks, and turning airplane mode off and on.

    I have an iPhone 4S with sprint. I had to replace my phone after the new update killed my wifi button and wouldn't let me turn my phone off. Since I've had my new phone, I haven't been getting 3G. I have tried resetting my networks, Turing airplane mode off/on and restarting my phone. Nothing seems to work. Any info on what I should do next would be great.

    If you have set this phone up, then there would not necessarily be a solution here until you have been verify with the provider that everything is provisioned correctly on their end. Since the 3G comes from your cellular provider, if the settings are correct on the phone, then you should work with the carrier next.

  • IMessage doesn't receive messages when on airplane mode

    Okay so here's the issue I have here, I'm using an iPod touch 4G that's running on iOS 6.1.6. I like to put my iPod on airplane mode when I'm not using it, so it's always on airplane mode at night. Usually, until last week, all messages sent to me on iMessage while I was on airplane mode would be received when I took my iPod off of airplane mode so that I could read them and reply. Since last week, I've run into a problem where I only receive the latest 3-4 messages sent to me on iMessage and none of them from earlier.Or I receive no messages at all, only to find out later that I have received a lot from friends. I know that this has to do with putting my iPod on airplane mode, I have reset all my network settings but the issue is still present. I'm confused as to why this problem has just popped up because I have done this for a really long time and no issues came up until just a week ago. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Are you powering the iPod off (Slide to Power off)?
    Or are you letting the iPod sleep?
    When powered off it can't receive anything.
    If just asleep see:
    How do I make IOS 6 keep wifi on when iPod is sleeping?
    Also try when connect to another network

  • I can't see my iTunes music when in airplane mode.

    I understand that my music is stored in the cloud and that the only way to listen to my music while in airplane mode is to download it to my iPad. I've done this but can't find the music on my iPad.  Do I need a different program to play the music than iTunes?

    The standard app to play music on an iPad is called Music. The iTunes app is for buying music (movies, etc.).

  • I recently switched to Verizon. In some areas it goes down to 3G, but then moving to an area I know has good 4G, it remains stuck in 3G until I turn airplane mode on then off again. Is there any way to fix this without having to cycle through airplane mod

    Phone is LG G3. I find it odd that I have to cycle through airplane mode to fix this particular issue.

    There has been no improvement thus far.
    I recently switched from AT&T for a cheaper price, but so far my experience connection-wise across Chicago has been absolutely terrible. Where I used to get 4-5 bars 4GLTE in my apartment at 60640, I now get 3G if I'm lucky (have NEVER seen 1X before on AT&T even in the most remote of locations).
    I also have poor connections near my work at 60611. Had (again) a bar of 1X and the person next to me had 3 bars 4G LTE with AT&T again.
    So far plenty of regrets... and doing my research, I see many complaints in Chicago LTE services. Hoping there is a fix out there soon.
