Win8 support for ThinkPad L520

Hi, I've been trying to get Win8 Consumer Preview to work on L520 with no luck.  Has anyone gotten it to work?
I notice that there is an entry for an L520 on the Beta Driver page (http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.p​age?DocID=HT072084), but the particular driver entry itself is 404 when you try to download it.  It has been in that state for at least two weeks.
Can someone from Lenovo look into when that will be fixed and the driver be available?  Thanks.

I have a L520 and didn't have any luck with the DP and CP...but finally the RP installed on it after flashing the BIOS to 1.17.

And a bunch of other Lenovo stuff here'n there...

  • Windows 10 support for Thinkpad L420?

    Hi everybody, I use a Lenovo Thinkpad L420 with the following configuration:Intel Core i3 2310M (Sandy Bridge)4 GB DDR3500 GB HDD Will this device and its drivers get support for Windows 10? I found a list on Lenovo website which lists supported systems for Windows 10 Upgrade... https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht103535 For my device important is... The following configurations are NOT supported:
    • Intel 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processors (Sandy Bridge) Is this the final state or is Lenovo working for Windows 10 drivers for older devices? Thanks in advance,backi03

    Its not Lenovos duty to do so, its Intels. And they won´t release Windows 10 drivers for the Tx20 series, so Lenovo won´t either. You can still install Windows 10 though. Works perfect on the T420 we have here.

  • How do I get support for Windows 7 on, and a W7 backup disk for, my new ThinkPad?

    I know these have got to be stupid questions, since I am sure that they have to have been asked before (unless they are clearly explained somewhere that everyone else has found, and I am somehow completely missed it), but I did search the forums and was surprised NOT to find any info on getting Windows 7 technical support after it was factory installed in a month-old Thinkpad. I wonder if the apparent defects in my W7, or maybe a different problem in my browser, could be affecting my ability to search to forums?
    I believe that my Windows 7 is defective, but calling Lenovo, they just talked about reinstalling Win7 from the partition, which makes no sense, if my W7 copy is defective, wouldn't the copy in the partition be defective too? My mom said she ordered a $20 W7 backup disk with the PC, but I never received it, and now Lenovo tech tells me those aren't actually available, and she must have confused it with the W7 upgrade disk, which didn't sound right, since I thought the upgrade disk was over $100, and I never received that one either anyway. If the W7 that was factory-installed is defective, I am assuming it's a copy of the same one in the partition, so that partition recovery is not feasible, is there any way to reorder a W7 re-install disk that will still register as Genuine Windows 7 on a Thinkpad? Now when I search the Lenovo site, I cannot find ANY W7 disks of any kind, neither a backup for factory-installed W7, nor for upgrade from a prior Windows version. Does anyone know how I could go about re-ordering the W7 backup disk when it appears to be missing from the online catalog? Unless this too is a defect in my browser search: can someone give me the link to page where I could select and re-purchase a W7 backup disk?
    It has been a few years since I had a new PC, but I have never even heard of one before that did not come with instruction manuals and OS and support disks, and did not provide any tech support for its own factory-installed software or Windows, at least during the first few months of ownership. Where do new Thinkpad owners turn for individual W7 software support, since Microsoft swears it is Lenovo's responsibility to support W7 under its OEM license, yet Lenovo swears they only support hardware? It almost seems that new users are expected to know everything already, or be initiated enough with the product to know exactly what your problem is and what's causing it, in order to find an online fix. Who do you call if W7 or Lenovo software (but not an ISP issue) appear to be doing something to prevent online access, but there are no discernible hardware issues? Where do you call for individualized W7, as well as Lenovo software, support, especially after no one online has ever heard of your specific issues and has no workable ideas for fixing them, or when your problem prevents you from getting online at all?
    Thanks so much

  • Problems with the (WINDOWS 8 pro -64 BIT) IN THINKPAD L520 - 5016 RL2

     I have some problems with the (WINDOWS 8 pro -64 BIT) is not working properly IN THINKPAD L520 - 5016 RL2.
    1. Message appears telling me that the drivers of the display  has been restored crash.
    2. The mouse pointer moves very slowly sometimes, and sometimes does not move for a while.
    3. Device software such as lenovo-airbag protection , lenovo-internet connection and lenovo web connection........ its  is not compatible with the system, and do not work.
    What is the solution؟

    Hi, MUJAHED
    I have a few questions for clarification I would like to ask about your first two issues:
    1) Can you copy the contents of this message and respond back with them. Any error codes or direct quotation from the system can really help in diagnosing a problem.
    2) Does this only apply to the TrackPad, or does this behavior also occur with an external mouse? It may help to download the latest mouse drivers for your system, which can be found here.
    As for your last issue with the Lenovo service not being compatible with the system: Unfortunately, software for these applications has not been released for Windows 8. Windows has its own network settings that you can use to connect to the Internet and networks, so that is still possible, though you may not enjoy it as much as Lenovo's program.
    Best,
    Adam

  • How to trigger the BIOS CRISIS Recovery mode for Thinkpad T61.

     For any other laptop, there's a possibility to run a BIOS crisis recovery, by holding Win-B or Fn-B and a few other conditions, one can make the laptop to boot up from a USB floppy drive and restore BIOS even if it's not working. But it seems that it doesn't work for ThinkPads, or I don't know to trigger the mode.
    Thank you in advance.

    Your post was very helpful. It did the trick. The photos of the screens and etc. helped.
    I am using a Toshiba laptop that came with Winddows 8.1 (64bit), which allegedly supports UEFI boot.
    Initially, the boot failed and after trying different settings I recalled a statement that not all USBs work the same and results may vary. I tried another USB and your selections worke perfect. 
    I did not revert the BIOS settings and the machine boots properly to the normal login.
    My need for a bootable USB is to boot the laptop if the hard drive fails. This allows to either re-image it or replace the hard drive and for re-image it. The key is the bootable media.
    Thanks for your effort..!

  • Camera not working - Thinkpad L520

    Can anyone help me to get the camera working again on my Thinkpad L520 afrer a disappointing Windows 8 upgrade.? I have re-installed Windows 7 Pro and downloaded the drivers from the lenovo site, but the camera just doesnt work.

    As silly as this question may sound, In your device manager is the Camera Enabled? You are right you should be seeing the camera preview in your communications utility. (Open the Device Manger, Expand your Imaging Devices, Right Click on your Camera, Select Properties, Under the Driver Tab verify it is Enabled.)
    Lets try Downloading System Update 5.01, System Update downloads data updates for software, drivers, and BIOS from a Lenovo server directly over the Internet without requiring specific user knowledge of where the package is located or if it is needed by the target system. I specifically want to make sure you have the most recent Communications utility.
    If there are any updates, please install them. Thank you for your patience.
    Thank you for being a part of the Lenovo Family,

  • Vista 64 support for Gamers

    Hi, When are we going to see Vista 64 support for gamers? Most gamers are now buying Vista 64 over 32 because of the fact that Vista uses up to .3gb memory at desktop and with modern games using up to 2Gb, only Vista 64 can meet the memory requirements (32 bit can't support 4Gb of installed memory, as it can't address it all. - Install 4Gb and you only get around 3gb reported). Yet I fail to see on these forums any mention of 64 bit support despite a huge take up. The Incrysis forums?have a poll of 24,000 users which shows that 4% intend to adopt DX0 and therefore Vista before Crysis comes out in Q3. Reading the forums, everyone is opting for 64. Same on story Toms Hardware, 64 far more popular as a switch than 32. As gamers are by far and large the biggest purchasers of cards such as the XFI, I'd have thought that 64 bit support would have been a priority. For whats its worth, the current drivers work fine on my 64 installation around the desktop, but presumably will suffer the same problems as everyone else with Movie and game sound decoding. Hence the request for support. (I'm currently waiting on Crysis / Quake Wars before gaming again).

    every port will install native under vista x64.   if displaylink isn't picked up then you can download the driver here.

  • Systemupda​te40-2009-​10-19 -- Where is the support for Windows 7?

    I am about to rebuild my X201 Laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate x64.  I downloaded systemupdate40-2009-10-19.exe and systemupdate40-2009-10-19.txt.  The txt file is extremely poorly formatted for notepad.  It is one long line.
    Also, from what I can make out in the description at the begining of the file it only has support for XP, 2000 and Vista:
    "ThinkVantage System Updatefor Microsoft Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Vista"

  • Where can I find informatio​n if there is going to be Lenovo Windows 8 support for the W510?

    Where can I find out if there will be a Lenovo software and drivers pack for Windows 8 for the W510?

    'morning.
    keep an eye on this page: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-​tips/detail.page?DocID=HT074688
    right now, your W510 is on the 'supported' list. i wouldn't be surprised to see links added to the page pointing to model-specific win8 support pages once the os is generally available.

    What can be understood wrong with "VLAN support in Access Connections"? If you want to know what VLAN stands for, just google.
    I know perfectly well what VLAN is since i work with networking every day and that's why i asked because i still cannot understand what maharaja mean by AC VLAN support. I asked because i might be able to help since i use VLAN with AC a lot so don't understand exactly what he find to be missing. I'm pretty sure what he is looking for is already there.
    Not sure why you felt it necessary to post such a arrogant reply which is not helpful for anyone, but asking for VLAN support could be several things so that's why some further explaination would be necessary to understand what exactly the request is about. I guess you  made you point to tell everyone you know what VLAN is, but then you should also realize that the question in the first post might need some further explanation since the feature might already be there.

I have AE3000N WiFi adapter and paid you quite a lot of money for it, now I have to upgrade my PC, obviously the new one comes with Win 8, and what? Would you please be so kind to make your product compatible NOW or give me my money back.

    I can confirm 200% that win7 drivers work on win8.1 ... Bought this adapter last week & get 450mbps via ea6700 on 2.4 & 5ghz!
