X120E Multi Core Warning -The hardware is not functioning properly. What now?

Ran the Thinkpad ThinkVantage Test and received a Warning on the CPU Multi-core test.
The hardware is not functioning properly. To correct the problem:
Turn off the system.
Detach the power cord and wait for one minute.
Re-attach the power cord and re-boot the system.
Re-run the test.
Performed the above, still receiving the warning.
What next?

Have you contacted Lenovo Support? The only thing I can think of is either a straight-up hardware defect or maybe cooling fan blockage of some sort. Could be the RAM, though it's unlikely. Still, if it consistently has this issue, and something like Prime95 errors out on one of the cores, you may need to RMA it.

  • The u, j, m and 7 keys on the keyboard are not functioning properly on my macbook air. Please Help!

    The u, j, m and 7 keys on the keyboard are not functioning properly on my macbook air. In its place are a random assortment of keys (Ex - u = "eqrw" or "IOUY"). This randomly happened when logging back in after sleep mode. No liquid damage at all. Please help!

    OK, I fixed the problem by doing a SMC (System Management Controller) reset as follows:
    1. Powered off my MacBook and removed everything connected except for the power chord.
    2. When powered off, I held "Shift" + "ctrl" + "Option" + "Power button" for 5 seconds or so until the little light on the front started to blink rapidly.
    3. Powered up my Mac, which took a little longer than usual to start and tested the "missing" keys which now works perfectly again.
    Just added another couple of years usage with my aging mac :-)

  • One or more of cells in the battery are not functioning properly?

    one or more of cells in the battery are not functioning properly
    I assume this means I need a new battery?  This was the message I got when I did the battery check.  
    The battery will not charge.  Laptop just runs on AC power and battery is in but will not charge.  What happens that causes cells in battery to not work?  I did leave it off a few months.  Would take make the battery go bad?
    Thanks for any info you can give me.  Have a HP G60-230US Notebook PC

  • Lately pdf files from the Web do not display properly; what is wrong and how can I fix it so I don't have to use IE?

    I am a professor and frequently need to open pdfs of academic journal articles from electronic databases. Within the last two or three weeks, when I try to do this using Firefox, only the first page of the pdf displays and the rest are blank. In addition, a bar appears across the top with the message "This pdf file may not display properly." So I have had to switch to Internet Explorer to open the files and do my research. What is going on and how can I fix it so I can open pdf files from the Web in Firefox and have them display properly?

    My question is simple - why would you put an application in production that has a lot of bugs? To replace a good and steady Adobe product? My customers will believe that I put a pathetic fallible form online. They are not sophisticated on computers so I just tell them to use IE. Ugh
    I must agree with pgwebgirl!

  • HP-HP, the fan of the laptop is not functioning properly

    Product name:HP-HP

    I encountered the problem this morning. When i boot on my laptop there was an error message showing that the fan of my laptop is not functioning  well and therefore i should visit this site for support. Thank you.

    Hello duckzilla2009, welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you have a message on your notebook about the fan not working correctly. I will try to help you with this.
    If you could, please provide the Model and Product numbers for your notebook.
    Here are a few documents that may be able to help you with resolve the error message related to your fan.
        System Fan (90b) error message on startup - if you're getting that specific message follow this document.
        Error: CPU Fan Failed - follow this one for any other fan error message or if the above didn't correct the issue.
        Reducing Heat Inside the PC to Prevent Overheating - I'm providing this document, as steps involved could help you with the fan. If the notebook is overheating it would be putting a lot of stress on the fan.
    Start with that and let me know how things go.
    I worked on behalf of HP.

  • "Always Show the Tab Bar" Not Functioning Properly

    Using Firefox 13 with Windows XP Professional. Even though my tab options are set to "always show tab bar" my tab bar isn't showing when there is just the single page. If I add more than one tab to the window they will show up but the first one will not and the only way to see its page content is to remove the additional tabs. If I have five tabs open at one time for example only four will be visible.

    Try:

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Locking up, screen not functioning properly- what's wrong?

    My first smart phone and only limited experience with a borrowed Iphone. Initially I was impressed with the capabilities and now no real need to take notebook when traveling. However, in the first week the phone totally froze after taking a pic and then trying to open the Gallery app. Performed reset by removing the battery, which is annoying and seems crude compared to pushing a reset button with a pen tip. About a week later, the pinch and expand zoom function quit working, but everything else seemed OK. Performed another reset. Is this normal smart phone behavior? Is the phone defective and should be returned? When it fails again, I plan on taking it to Vz store without doing a reset. I have no time or patience for another buggy tech device. Computers, mp3 etc are enough

    Out of curiousity are you using a task manager, it sounds like you may be running your resources thin, many say using a task manager isnt wise but all my issues with lock ups and lags went away when I installed a task manager, besides I feel that running 10 or 15 apps in the background doesnt make any since...  If not installed give Advance Task Manager a try, its free on the Market, but remember to activate auto and exclude needed apps..
    Check here for my perfered settings, with these I havent had any issues....

  • Java.util.zip.ZipException: a device attached to the system is not function

    getting a java.util.zip.zipexception : a device attached to the system is not functioning error - what could cause such an error?
    My program finds all zip files in an archive and then searches through them for xls files, which it extracts and re-locates.
    I havent even a clue where to look for the cause of this exception but Ill attach at the bottom the code in the general vicitiny of the trigger so that you can get kind of an idea what Im trying to do, and if im lucky, even spot my problem. :) Thanks!!
    //zips is an array of zip files
    int found = 0;
    File[] haveXLs = new File[zips.length];
    for (int i = 0; i < zips.length; i++){
    String fileName = new String("L:/Vision/Archive/" + zips.getName());
    ZipFile archive = new ZipFile(fileName);
    String name = zips[i].getName().substring(0,8);
    for(Enumeration e = archive.entries(); e.hasMoreElements();){
    ZipEntry entry = (ZipEntry) e.nextElement();
    if(entry.getName().substring(0,8) == name){
    haveXLs[found] = zips[i];
    found++;

    Hey there a few things.
    Make sure that you dont use fileseparators like you do. ("/")
    Use the separator generated for your system.
    Something like:
    String sep = System.getProperty("file.separator");
    You mentioned it work local, but not network.
    Either you have plenty of harddrives or L: is a mapped drive.
    Is it working at the mapped drive?
    When you say on the network, how are you accessing the files?
    Could it be possible for another user to lock a file, so you wont have access to it over the network?

  • The list of extensions for InDesign now have a yellow triangle warning symbol in front of a good many of the extensions and when moused over i get one of two messages:  "Extensions may not function properly because it does not meet the dependency conditio

    The list of extensions for InDesign now have a yellow triangle warning symbol in front of a good many of the extensions and when moused over i get one of two messages:
    "Extensions may not function properly because it does not meet the dependency condition."
    OR
    Extension Status is not consistent with extension set configuration."
    The reason I opened the Extension Manager in the first place was to check to see if I had installed a third party extension.  And I was presented with these warning symbols.  I haven't added anything, I haven't done anything that would cause this.
    Does anyone know how to fix this???
    I am running OSX 10.9.5; Indesign CS6 version 8.0.2 And Adobe Extension Manager version  6.0.8.28.
    Thanks in advance!
    Nina

    Many InDesign pre-installed extensions (Those extensions you have immediately after InDesign installation) define dependency rules in their mxi files. Dependency means that one extension works well only if one or more other extensions are installed and enabled. If this condition is not met, the yellow triangle warning will be shown.
    You can select an extension with warning, click "Advanced" tag page in the lower right panel. You will see "This extension has dependency on: <extension name> ...". Check whether every extensions listed here are available and enabled. If not, enable them. Repeat these steps for all the extensions which have warning.

  • Warning: The system has not been taken off maintenance mode completely

    After I enabled Maintenance mode using adadmin, I ran Compile Flexfields. Then I disabled Maintenance mode. But, on the 11i login page, I keep getting a warning message:
    Warning
    The system has not been taken off maintenance mode completely. Please contact your System Administrator.
    I am sure I disabled the Maintenance mode in adadmin. Why I still get the warning? How to fix it? Thanks a lot.

    Thanks a lot. That is the fix.
    One more question. After I ran "Compile Flexfields", I got
    Number of successful descriptive flex compilations : 7520
    Number of failed descriptive flex compilations : 1
    How can I find the failed description flex? The log does not give info on this. And, how to fix it?
    Thanks a lot for your help.

  • A warning keeps appearing every 10 minutes indicating the disk was not ejected properly.  How do I stop this warning?

    The disk was not ejected properly.  If possible, always eject a disk before unplugging it or turning it off.
    To eject a disk, select it in the Finder and choose File Eject.  The next time you connect the disk, Mac OS X will attempt to repair any damage to the information on the disk. 

    Try mounting a disk, then ejecting it properly, see if that helps.  Please post back with results.

I already reset the router to factory defaults and same issues. I have changed the settings back to my personal preferences: Changed the SSID, changed the wireless security settings, changed the DNS and deactivate WPS.

    Daphne L. J: Okay. Were you able to check if the devices have stable connection wired to the router?
    You: No. I do not have devices with Ethernet ports. Well, only the cable modem.
    You: But the modem is fine. No disconnections from my ISP.
    You: It is the router.
    Daphne L. J: Alright. What is the current firmware version of your router?
    You: I tried to return the router to Wal-Mart yesterday with no luck. This is a useless device. And I have been reading comments on the community forums and a lot of people are having problems.
    Daphne L. J: We are actually aware of the issue and are working on a resolution. What is the current firmware version of your router?
    You: Ver. 1.1.10.167514
    You: Latest one.
    Daphne L. J: Yes, so you reflashed the firmware, reset and then manually reconfigure it after, not using backup configuration, is that right?
    You: That's correct.
    Daphne L. J: And it is intermittent on all devices connected to both 2.4 and 5 Ghz networks, is that right?

    You: A company called .
    You: How are they going to contact me?
    Daphne L. J: Alright. By the way, on the device itself, on its FCC ID, please check if you have WRT1900AC or WRT1900AC v2.
    You: Are you paying attention to me?
    You: I already told you it's V1.
    Daphne L. J: They will call or email you. Please double check if these informations are correct:

    You: I want them to contact me to my email. I can't answer the phone during work hours.
    Daphne L. J: We can't assure you if we will be able to replace it with Version 2 or if you are allowed to have the EA8500 instead.
    Daphne L. J: Just in case, do you also have an alternate number?
    Daphne L. J: Also, what time zone are you in? And what is your preferred time and day for them to contact you?
    You: I have the one from my office in Mexico. Central Time. Any time is good.
    Daphne L. J: So, you are currently in Mexico?
    You: I work in Mexico but I have the house in USA. I live in the border.
    Daphne L. J: I see. Do you have any other questions or clarifications?
    You: I live 10 minutes away from the International Bridge. But that's not an issue. I bought the router at Walmart in Laredo, TX.
    Daphne L. J: Thank you for the information. Would that be all for now?
    You: I want a clarification: Do you realize that there is an issue with the current WRT1900 AC? Are you aware of that?
    You: Because this is a very expensive router that is not working as it should be.
    Daphne L. J: Yes, we are aware of the issue and are working on a resolution.
    Daphne L. J: Would there be anything else you need?
    You: That would be it. I will wait for you to contact me.
    You: Thanks.
    Daphne L. J: Alright. Thank you for giving us an opportunity to serve you through Linksys Live Chat. You may also visit our support site at www.linksys.com. For your reference, your case number is 04980394. Thank you for choosing Linksys and have a great day! We paid $250 for this piece of equipment. That's a lot of money for a device that doesn't work. I just want to get a V2 replacement, or better yet, an exchange for a EA8500. We should all demand this. It is not fair for us. The current WRT1900 AC is a useless device. They even should do a recall of the product. I will wait for them to contact me, but I'm thinking if I should send the information to The Consumerist or someone else. What to do?

    Well... instead of looking into this with Engineering, I would prefer you to talk about this with the Sales department and exchange my WRT1900AC for an EA8500 (I will pay the difference if needed).  Seriously. The device is useless. Not just a paperweigt... an expensive paperweight.Actually I looking into the swap for you because I think that would be best in your case. Keep this in perspective. There is laterally millions of WRT1900AC V1 out there with very few issues with latest firmwares and of course the odd exception. In your case it could be a defective WRT1900AC.

    You: I told you I want to send you my WRT1900AC and get a V2 or I want a EA8500 and pay the difference myself.
    You: I want them to contact me to my email. I can't answer the phone during work hours.
    Daphne L. J: We can't assure you if we will be able to replace it with Version 2 or if you are allowed to have the EA8500 instead.
    Daphne L. J: Just in case, do you also have an alternate number?
    Daphne L. J: Also, what time zone are you in? And what is your preferred time and day for them to contact you?
    You: I have the one from my office in Mexico. Central Time. Any time is good.
    Daphne L. J: So, you are currently in Mexico?
    You: I work in Mexico but I have the house in USA. I live in the border.
    Daphne L. J: I see. Do you have any other questions or clarifications?
    You: I live 10 minutes away from the International Bridge. But that's not an issue. I bought the router at Walmart in Laredo, TX.
    Daphne L. J: Thank you for the information. Would that be all for now?
    You: I want a clarification: Do you realize that there is an issue with the current WRT1900AC? Are you aware of that?
    You: Because this is a very expensive router that is not working as it should be.
    Daphne L. J: Yes, we are aware of the issue and are working on a resolution.
    Daphne L. J: Would there be anything else you need?
    You: That would be it. I will wait for you to contact me.
    You: Thanks.
    Daphne L. J: Alright. Thank you for giving us an opportunity to serve you through Linksys Live Chat. You may also visit our support site at www.linksys.com. For your reference, your case number is 04980394. Thank you for choosing Linksys and have a great day! We paid $250 for this piece of equipment. That's a lot of money for a device that doesn't work. I just want to get a V2 replacement, or better yet, an exchange for a EA8500. We should all demand this. It is not fair for us. The current WRT1900AC is a useless device. They even should do a recall of the product. I will wait for them to contact me, but I'm thinking if I should send the information to The Consumerist or someone else. What to do?

    Hello. I sent my WRT1900AC V1 to Linksys four days ago (Monday) via UPS with a RMA. Linksys paid the shipping and everything. The router is still in route, and it should arrive to their offices tomorrow. Once they receive the WRT1900 AC V1, they are going to send me an EA8500 as a replacement. But I have been reading the comments about the EA8500 here in the forum and it seems to have the same problems. I guess the firmware is extremely flawed in both routers (maybe it is almost the same code?). Anyway, I will try the EA8500 and I hope it works. I bought a temporary router from Walmart and I paid $35 for it. It is a Belink N600 DB. I can't believe that a $35 router is working a lot, lot, lot better than my previous $250 WRT1900AC router. Unbelievable. If the EA8500 doesn't work, I'm going to try and get my money back from Linksys, or contact The Consumerist or someone to get my money back and get a Nighthawk instead.
