X301 and F3507g

Hi, I have an X301, model 2774-18U, running XP/SP3. I've purchased Ericsson F3507g which is supposed to be compatible with X301 according to a few support pages and software readme.txts. However, after installing the card, F3507g does not appear in Device manager, and there are no errors of any kind.
Any suggestions?
Thx.
Solved!

It works! In the end I thought I might be missing a BIOS error message because of Startup->Boot->Quick option, so I switched it to Diagnostics. No error message appeared, but when OS booted up, everything was recognised. Returning the option to Quick didn't delete the device, so I guess the system doesn't rescan peripherals with that one.

X301 and F3507G issues in Australia

Hi I have a F3507G wirleess card in my X301 and my service provider is not supported byt eh mobile card software form Lenovo.
I have tried some of the connection attributes talked about on other posts but these seem to turn the F3507G into a dial up modem and that is not what I need or want.
On the inital install I had options to connect over HSDPA and connected successfully once then the software showed the modem as being not available despite it being OK in the hardware profile.
I have the latest versions of Access Connections, Mobile Broadband Connect and the driver for the F3507G is up to date.
My service provider in Sydney in Telstra.
Three months after installing this card I would love to be able to use it more than once and for more than 15 mins.
Please help.

I have a F3507G in a T400 that is running fine with the Telstra Mobile Broadband Next G business service..... there was a Telstra selection on the pick list offered in Access Connections.
If you are trying to use a F3507G with Telstra BigPond Next G consumer service, you may have a more interesting time, as the BigPond Next G service generally only works readily with a device was supplied by BigPond, as they track the IMEIs of their devices.

X301 and Windows 7

Hello,
I installed Windows 7 on my X301 and have problems with three hardware devices.
One is the fingerprint reader. It is shown in the device manager but I cannot find a vaild driver.
The other two hardware devices I am not able to identify.
Is there a solution for these problems? When will drivers be available for windows 7? (I read the driver announcement post)

Dell's fingerprint suit can be set-up on X301 instead of lenovo's package - works perfect!
now fo Wimedia device (that is wireless LAN) use the one from System Update (it show 2 Wireless LAN packages) that has "64 bit" in the name and ignore the second...
Install Auto features from Sysem Update - that wil properly enable microphone
Don't install registry patches and Vista Component updates...
Good luck....
P.S. I assume that You running 64bit version of OS... there is no reason to use 32bit on any hardware that allows to run 64bit....

X301 and ubuntu, or RHEL 5x

Hello, a quick search does not return much about linux on x301, so I am going ahead and ask.
I am pondering about purchasing a x301, and I am somewhat concerned by the few reports
found online, that would seem to suggest that there are a handful of issues, and in general
it would seem necessary to go "bleeding edge" on linux.
Some complains about the ALPS touchpad, many about wifi, even wired ethernet.
Ideally I'd like to be able to run RedHat EL.
Supposedly the x301 is "certified" to work with it, check this and this (@lenovo itself).
Does anybody have any good report, or knowledge about my question?
Thanks a lot,
-GF

from my 5 minutes of research, RHEL 5.2 has kernel 2.6.18 which got released at september 2006 and updated to 2.6.18.8 at february 2007. RHEL likes to freeze the kernel version for a long time for stability purposes. Remember, RHEL is intended for servers mostly. It is the same main kernel release that Debian Etch uses. Your x301 is a GM45 chipset (like my sl300), which came out this summer in 2008. All the kinks have still not been worked out on this chipset platform in even the most bleeding edge distributions (which employ linux kernel 2.6.27). It most definitely will fail or be troublesome to get working as the developers didn't know much about the hardware at the time RHEL 5 was released. you might get by using an fbdev X driver... then you still have to worry about stuff like ethernet and wireless lan.
If you really need it, I think virtualization with something like virtualbox is your only hope, and I wouldn't attempt to get such an old os running natively on such a new box. To make it work, you'd probably have to recompile your own kernel or install fedora rpms for kernel, Xorg and drivers and such. It'd definitely be a hassle. don't do it.
Vbox from windows is pretty easy... you could get the setup done in like 5 mins... and then you install RHEL from an iso image or cd just like a normal machine. Plenty of documentation online, and you won't have to worry about stuff like wireless.
my 2 cents.

Ok, thanks Bill,
I'm not sure what/if there is a system difference, but nothing related to the F3507g works on my X301 running win7.
The driver is version 1.0.0.52, and the Device Manager states every thing is fine and the devices (I have 3 f507g related devices, 1 network adapter and 2 ports..) also states every thing is fine.
One symptom is the wwan led is 'always on' and i cant turn it off
Any suggestions ?

Port Replicator (45K1610), x301, and resolution help

I have a x301, a port replicator with model number 45K1610, and a Dell 22" wide screen monitor. When I connect the monitor directly to the laptop I can get the max resolution of 1680x1050 out of the monitor but when I plug the monitor through the port replicator I can only get a max resolution of 1440x900. We have some customers here that what to run the monitor through the port replicator and have it mirror the laptop with the resolution of 1680x1050. I have not been able to find a way to do this and according to the specs of the port replicator it is capable of pushing a resolution greater than the 1680x1050. Anyone have any idea on how to get this to work? Thanks.

I am having the same issue. For some reason, mirroring will only match the max laptop resolution on the external display. I have a 24" monitor that can display 1080p. I need to get the external display to AT LEAST 1600x1200.
I understand the you can extend to the external display, but I am unable to set the external display as the primary monitor (move the start button, taskbar, etc) to the external.

X301 and pre-installed Lenovo Software

Hello to everybody.
I'm new in this community.
I've been a ThinkPad user since 1997 (600, R52, T60p) and now I've bought a X301 with Win 7 32 bit.
Comparing the Laptop with my previous T60p with Win XP, I have some doubts about the configuration and the preinstalled software (Think Vantage Tools) wich comes with it. Maybe someone here can help me.
My doubts are:
- why is not possible to get the productivity center and get it in association with the blue button?
- why is the Active Protection software pre-installed (and loaded at startup), when the HD is an SSD one?
- the GPS doesn't work (Only one time I've got one satellite in an open environment, where my phone gets full GPS coverage, otherweise normal is 0 satellite)
- the fingerprint recognition at startup is very very slow
- every Lenovo software, when launched, opens very slowly (minutes).
This is the situation I've found out of the box. I'm wondering whether the Laptop has left the factory with a wrong configuration (I mean, for Win 7 and SSD) and if I would be able to set everything in the right status through the use of System-Update.
Thank-you to everyone and, please, excuse my terrible English.

The great idea is - to update Media Player. But telling you by secret - it's a bad idea. The really great idea - not to use MP at all. Use Winamp, foobar, VLC(+skins) or iTunes, but not MP...

X301 and MBR

I am running WinXP-SP3 on a X301. For the first year it was working fine with AHCI mode activated in the BIOS and a SSD SATA 64Gb. However, every now and then I lose the MBR and I have to repair it with XP installation disk. If I deactivate AHCI and use COMPATIBILITY mode, XP works fine but slower. I have tried to update the SSD firmware and the SATA driver for XP but they seem to be updated. I suspect some XP update changed something, because the laptop was working like a charm until now. Any ideas? Anybody experienced this problem before?

About to order X301 and dock. Have concerns

I am going to order the X301, with 128 SSD, DVD-R/W, XP, and Verizon WWAN. Plus I am adding the USB Dock. Sometimes too much research can be a bad thing. I am now having second thoughts that the system will run as advertised.
Specifically, I am concerned about the Verizon WWAN not being able to connect. I already have a Verizon wireless account, so I will need to transfer that to the X301. There were many posts about problems with this. Does anyone know if this has been fixed?
Second, I have read of all sorts of problems with the display. I will be using a HP w2207h monitor, with a DisplayPort to HDMI adaptor, and am concerned about getting a quality display.
I have been a long time ThinkPad user, but strayed with my last purchase. I thought coming back to a ThinkPad would reduce the computer problems I am having with a non-ThinkPad, but am wondering if the quality of the product has slipped in the last 2 years?
Any advice on whether I should look at a different ThinkPad model, or stick with the X301 would be appreciated.

No dock, i just use the machine when i get on site in the mine, it has 3G and GPS integrated system, great little machine, but it is bit dirty due to all the dusts. In the office i have my own T61 and X60, which i brought along for this trip.
I am using the X301 right now.

X301 and Win7 - some functions not working 100%

Hi
My x301 (2777-CTO) shipped 1 day AFTER the Win 7 launch, but had Vista on it (how much do I wish I'd waited to order, I didn't pay any attention to launch dates)
Anyway I had a legit copy of Win 7 business so I did a fresh install. I then went through and installed all the drivers on these pages and then ran system update 4 a few times until it says there are no updates.
I have a lovely working speedy system, however it's not as joined up as I'd normally expect from a Thinkpad. The issues (not exhaustive) are:
ThinkVantage button no longer lit up and just loads a 'toolbox' not the usual list of links to the different features?
No ability to configure my 3G account (I'm sure there was a specific app under Vista)
No obvious camera software
No brightness controls screen overlay
My question is simple. Should I have all ThinkVantage software after a fresh install and system update or are there still bits an pieces yet to be released by Lenovo?
If I bother to get the upgrade media will I get a full driver update too so I get the full EE experience?
Thanks

If the laptop is 32-bit, then you're running the last 32-bit version of Muse, Muse 7.4.
If the laptop is 64-bit, then you're running the most recent version, which is Muse 2014.3.2 (which is equivalent to Muse 11.2).

X301 and docking support

Hi,
does the x301 support any kind of docking stations, as a docking/port replicator is mentioned.
If not, is there any linux support for DisplayLlink?

the X300 and X301 can use the enhanced USB port replicator. there are no provisions for a dedicated dock like found on the other X-series thinkpads.
regarding displaylink support under linux, it doesn't appear that drivers have been made available yet on their site. only drivers for XP/vista and beta drivers for OS-X are listed.

X301 and Wake from Standby Issues

I received my X301 on last Thursday, and really like this computer. Over the weekend, however, I noticed a recurring problem.
It seems to be unable to wake from standby when connected directly (not using the port replicator) to an external monitor. I tried different combinations of entering standby:
1. Shut off external monitor, then go to standby;
2. Leave monitor on, then go to standby;
I am using extended desktop for the display properties.
When not connected to a monitor, it seems to be OK. I had selected the option to do nothing when closing the lid on the laptop, but changed that when I noticed this issue. It did not seem to make a difference. I have to hold the power button down and shut off the computer to re-boot.
When I open the lid, the message on the screen is something like going into standby, but it should say, coming out of standby. Regardless, nothing happens. I do not think I have password protected the machine. I may have, but also think I deleted this because I thought that could have been causing the problem. At start up, I do not have to swipe my finger, nor enter a password.
My OS is XP.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

I have the same issue. x301. Win7 64bit. I called tech sup. They want me to back up everything and go back to factory defaults. This never worked. It was a problem out of the box so I am reluctant. I uninstalled the access program that shows wireless options and network connectivity. Now I can wake, but when I do I have no network connectivity. I have to reboot to get wireless or wired connectivity. I'm still looking for a cure.

Thinkpad X301 and Intel Turbo Memory

Hi,
I have a Lenovo X301, which were all SSD drive systems.
I was looking at the Intel Turbo Memory card as their is a free slot for one next to the WWAN card, and I have noticed that the Support on Lenovo :: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67820 state that the X300 and X301 are supported for the Turbo Memory (no X300 or X301 came with anything other than a Solid State Disk) though in notes it says;
It is not recommended to use Intel Turbo Memory in a system with a SSD
drive. It would be ideal to remove the Intel Turbo Memory module from the
system, if SSD drive is used.
Seems to conflict, as the X301 is supported but the X301 only has an SSD option.
So the question is can I use Intel Turbo Memory, and if so why do Lenovo advise against it in an SSD system.

there is no point installing the turbo memory if you already have the ssd. it is not going to produce any speed improvement.
I had tried to install the turbo memory in my X301 with the ssd, i didn't get any error as such, but it also didn't get any performance improvements either.
Lenovo advise against it due to the fact that it may produce hardware conflicts in certain circumstances.

X301 and Vodafone and AT&T Wireless WAN (HSPA) Driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)

Ok, I (Lenovo) did it again.
System Update showed me this update: "Vodafone and AT&T Wireless WAN (HSPA) Driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)".
As I'm using Vodafone and I had a AT&T driver, I decided to update.
The result is, that now the GPS doesn't work.
Yes, I'm in a place where the GPS signal is present (my house, with the previous driver I was able to get 6/7 satellites).
What happens? Lenovo TV GPS stays there trying to fix the satellites, but nothing happens. I can't recover the system to a previous state, as I updated Flash player too, and Windows only show me the possibility to roll back this update.
So, apart advicing everyone not to update, I kindky ask:
- where can I found the previous driver? I searched the web without success...
- why does Lenovo deploy driver which can cause problems (I just had one updating the BT driver last week! .msi installer problem, error 1935...)?
Thanks to everyone
600, R52, T61p, X301

Ok, I found in the Net the drive 7uw706ww.zip, which is Version 6.1.4.2, while the updated version is 6.1.10.5 (7UW708WW).
I tried again the GPS, and it wasn't working.
Anyway, before downgrading, I tried to reinstall the new driver, downloading and installing the .exe instead going through System Update.
Result: now GPS is working (same place, same conditions, just 5 minutes later)!
Don't know where the difference is...
