Wlan adapter not recognized after Standby (S205, Windows 8)

Hi!
I installed Windows 8 to my Lenovo IdeaPad S205 Netbook just a few days ago. Unfortunately, I have problems with Wlan. In the beginning, it didn`t work at all. Then I found a thread in this forum, where somebody recommended to set the network as the first booting device. Doing so made the Wlan work!
But, after using the Standby-Mode of the netbook, Wlan doesn`t work again. The system says the adapter would be deactivated, though it certainly is activated. To make Wlan work again, I have to reboot the netbook.
I also noticed that sometimes it is not possible to start the Bios while booting. Always when that`s the case, Wlan doesn`t work.
I installed the newest drivers, also a driver I got from Atheros, the newest Windows 8 updates and I tried to de-/activate Lan adapter and to change the energy management setting - without sucess.
It seems I´m not the only one with these problems, but I didn`t find any solution so far.
Do you have any idea?
Best regards
Philipp
Btw: I had no problems before with Windows 7.
Solved!

hi Phil205de,
If you're having issues accessing the BIOS after a shutdown, check this article.
As for the WLAN card not being recognized or not being able to detect wifi networks, try to:
1. Turn the computer OFF and remove the wifi antenna (see page 42 of the hardware maintenance manual)
2. Turn the computer ON and when it gets to Windows, shut the PC off.
3. Reconnect the wifi antenna and turn the PC ON.
If you still get the same problem, try to Install Ubuntu via Wubi (can be uninstalled after) and try to check if you can now detect wifi networks. If everything's ok on Ubuntu, you need to reinstall Windows and load the wireless driver on Windows Setup as discussed in this article.
Cheers

  • Audigy2 NX USB not recognized after Standby-M

    Hi,
    if somebody uses a Laptop there is only the possibility to use an USB, Firewire or PCMCIA Soundcard.
    I am using the Audigy2 NX USB with my portable PC (Windows XP SP2 installed).
    When I close the lid of my Laptop and it goes into <EM>Standby-Mode</EM> and then reactivating Windows again an Error Message appears when Music is going to be played.
    The Device seems to have a driver problem.
    I need to reboot Windows XP everytime again when I want to play Sound. :angry:
    (I've installed the newest Soundblasterdrivers and Firmware with Autoupdate!)
    Questions:
    : Is this a known problem?
    2: Is there a solution?
    3: Which external Creative-Soundcards do support Notebookfeatures like Standbymode?
    4: Why aren't 64bit drivers released for Win XP64bit's

    . Not a known problem at least I dun read it here.
    2. The problem maybe with Windows itself cos I known that the OS have many problem with standby. If you go to microsoft website and do a search in their kbase, you will find many problem occur with USB device after standby.
    3. As say, it may be a problem of OS and not the card.
    4. There are 64bit driver being developed but just not release yet. This is what I found on their kbase.
    http://us.creative.com/support/XPx64/
    Here's one solution I found at microsoft kbase.
    Do not configure your computer to turn off USB devices to save power while the computer is on standby. To do this, follow these steps:
    . Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click System.
    2. In System Properties, click the Hardware tab, and then click Device Manager.
    3. In Device Manager, double-click Uni'versal Serial Bus Controllers.
    4. Right-click USB Root Hub, and then click Properties.
    5. In USB Root Hub Properties, click the Power Management tab, and then click to clear the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power check box.
    6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each instance of USB Root Hub that is listed in Device Manager.

  • Iphone not recognized after upgrading to Windows 7

    I know a lot of people have problems in this area, but most (?) seem to have the P55 chipset. I don't believe my Acer Aspire 6930 has that chipset, but ever since upgrading to Windows 7 I can't see my iphone in itunes.
    Windows recognizes it, as I can see it in the device list, and even import pictures off of it. But itunes refuses to see it.
    I've uninstalled/reinstall/uninstalled/reinstalled itunes a number of times and have gotten nowhere.

    Ok, I've found a workaround on another thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9658855).
    According to that poster (he has an iPod Touch), Apple Tech Support told him to disconnect his computer from the Internet, and then try to connect his iPod Touch. This worked for him. I just tried it and it works reliably.
    After reading the post I plugged out my Internet connection from my laptop, and then connect my iPhone. It was detected. I repeated this 4 more times and each time the device was detected and came up in my iTunes sidebar. I then restarted my machine and tried it again 5 times. It worked all 5 times. When I reconnected my machine to the Internet, the problem came back the very next time I plugged my phone in.

    Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I wasted about 1.5 hours with Apple on this issue. It all started happening after I updated to the latest version of iTunes. I haven't been able to sync my iPhone 4 in 1 month and am freaking out about possibly losing my pictures, video, text messages and music.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • HT202274 Password change old password not recognized after 10.9.5 upgrade

    God bless you, peace.
    macbook pro 2012 user password not recognized after 10.9.4 too 10.9.5 upgrade plus tech work at apple.
    I want to change user password, it is allowing me to get into user account and admin account on computer but I recently changed it for the tech work to be done. I would like to put the password back now to old password or a new one but... The few days old new password pre update and pre tech work is not being accepted to allow me to change to another password.
    recent update, after 10.9.4 to 10.9.5 update and apple tech work done.
    1. Tech work replaced optical drive,
    2. 10.9.4 to 10.9.5 upgrade left computer endlessly booting up, then got into finder window tried to read backup drive and screen went to black curser and could not backup information as techs decided may need to be done before I left it with them.
    3. Also track pad was not (is not again) selecting text to drag unless real hard press and then only intermittently would select text or just drop the selection (not hold the selected text after a long scroll select, did work at first after tech work but back to not working). It is still not responding easily when pressed, but it is much better, as they did something with software they said. Today While typing this I am trying to select words misspelled and it does not select them unless I press not as hard it is becoming the same as before I see now, sometimes less pressure is needed but more than should be used.
    I noticed today after tech work The Spell check is not responding with a two finger tap on the red underlined misspelled words without multiple try's with two finger tap. The curser moves around after selecting words also, or when selecting words so hard the curser moves to another place not on the desired words or check box. The curser arrow tip should select the word but it does not recognize unless I put the tail of the arrow onto the word then it recognizes the misspelled word for spell check on two finger gesture.
    It looks like I need to take it back, I tried to call and check to confirm if the track pad intermittently and curser adjustment was serviced. In order to verify I had called three times to get that information to no avail. endless looped in the phone que, one would answer take info and then forward me to a endless loop dial ing phone that never was picked up, supposedly at the Bay street store tech section. Phone voice mail from apple support status on the repair, ...Juliano from Bay Street Apple repair store Emeryville, ca left a voice message... just generically said optical drive replacement is successfulI, I noticed right away three items were to be addressed but only the optical drive was mentioned, so I called three times to try and verify the other problems. One whole minute just to select this text and copy it to notes for a backup. It would not select at first, then after selected it would not copy it, then it would not paste to notes, it paste the last cut and paste I did 10 minutes ago.
    I do not have a easy excellent wifi connection for my wifi only phone and would prefer email or chat for repair help. apple Repair No: R142180337

    Try running the combo update. It fixes more files/data than the App Store upgrade.

  • TS1363 My sons iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes, or windows.  Is this repairable?

    My sons iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes, or windows.  I have tried a variety of options, even resetting, but still no luck.

    What does the iPod's screen say or do, when you connect it to USB port on the computer?
    The article referenced is for "regular" iPods.  An iPod touch is an iOS computer, so this article would be more appropriate for troubleshooting.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Be sure to rule out a faulty USB cable as the cause.  Try another cable, or try the cable you have with another device that has a dock connector.
    Also, you should do this test to rule out a problem with the USB port (such as lack of power or USB device conflict).  Shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices, including any hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used).  If the computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power). 
    Then, start up the computer, run iTunes, and connect iPod to a direct USB port on the computer.  If it still does not connect, connect something else to the same USB port to confirm it is working.  Preferably, use something similar, such as a USB flash drive or external drive.

  • Ipod not recognized by itunes or windows.

    Hi there, I have an 80gb Ipod classic which is not recognized by itunes or windows. The "Use iTunes to restore" message appears on my ipod but when I connect it to my pc itunes does not recognize it. Windows shows a message informing me that I need to format the drive but is then unable to do so. Ipod will not go into disk mode either. I have tried reinstalling itunes and using the ipod in a different usb drive. I have also connected it to a mac and a windows pc but nothing happens. I have tried to use the diagnostics mode on the ipod but that will not work either. I am wondering if my ipod's hard drive is corrupted.

    Hello,
    My iPod is not being recognized by iTunes or internet
    explorer. It used to, but not anymore. It just
    dosent show up when I connect it to my computer.
    Also, the "do no disconnect" sign does not appear on
    my iPod when I connect it. It is still able to
    recharge, though.
    have u tried a different usb port?
    I read that I have to restore it. I have tons of
    songs in my iPod that I do NOT want erased! How can
    I back these songs up? I have some songs on my iPod
    that are from another person's computer, so if they
    get erased, the songs are gone forever.
