X61t upgrade and auto-rotate not working

I just bought an x61t off trademe for $50. I've always coveted one because my old x60s was the best thinkpad I've ever owned. This one is solid and underused. I intend to upgrade to win 8 later, and add some more ram and  swap in a SSD. Just use for text input and browsing. 
My problems are finding a user manual/guide, finding any thinkvantage legacy upgrade and, the biggest problem is auto rotate and tablet interface buttons don't seem to be working. 
Looking on Lenovo sites hasn't been helpful in finding any of this information or solutions. It may be obsolete and unavailable. 
can I download button drivers from anywhere? Any other solutions you can help with are appreciated. 

Hi syrahnose,
Here's your Hardware Maintenance Manual and here's a Service and Troubleshooting Guide .
You could also run TVSU and see if it comes up with anything for your tablet.
There are quite a lot of guides and manuals here .
Regards,
Dave
Edit:  Windows 8 should run fine on your machine. I'm running Windows 8 on a non-tablet x61 and it runs fine.

  • Yoga 2 Pro tent mode and auto-rotate not working

    I have had a Yoga 2 Pro since June. Recently the Tent mode and auto-rotate features do not work.
    When I put the Yoga 2 Pro into Tent mode the keyboard and touch pad are still active underneth. However, they shutoff when in tablet mode. Lenovo Transition starts automatically and is running.
    Auto-rotate does not work at all now. The screen is un-locked.

    Dear NX3
    Welcome to Lenovo forums
    Please try to uninstal the Lenovo transition program and download the version in the below link and instal it

  • Screen locking up and auto rotation not working on phone wakeup

    Since updating to iOS8 my iPhone 5 and 5s will lock up when waking the phone.  I also have noticed that the screen rotation does not work riight away and is sluggish.  Certain apps tend to freeze which could be that they need an update themselves.  It is a shame that Apple has resorted to using its customers as beta testers for their software.  As a die hard Apple fan it is getting harder to stay true to the company.  Apple should be leading not playing catch up which is why I think theses major software issues develop.

  • Auto Rotation not working correctly Radius p55w B5112

    It has not worked correctly since I bought it. I have recovered from image fresh again, and then went through and hit windows update and updated 134 updates. Auto rotate does not work in tablet or in presentation mode. The keyboard never shuts off and I can type in tablet mode. If I have this on my lap, the buttons are pressed. I have a lock on my screen rotation, it is greyed out and I cannot access it. Any other suggestions to fix this?? Everthing else works great!

  • Windows 10 Screen Auto Rotation Not Working/Option is not visible or available

    I just upgraded to Windows 10 through the microsoft app. Everyhthing works fine except the screen rotation doesn't work at all. The option to able or disable this feature is dimmed meaning that you can't interact with it. Please help if you know the solution.

    Same here on Envy x2 13-j001ng, rotation does not work. I have verified that orientation sensor itself works (via Sensor Diagnostic Tool 0.7.2) and sensors services are running, but rotation does not work. Additionally, accelerometer controls in Asphalt 8: Airborne don't work either, so I suspect an issue lies within WIndows.

  • Passwords and Auto Fill not working...

    All of a sudden, new passwords are not being retained and auto fill doesn't work at all. I've repaired permissions, checked every setting I can think of. What should I try next?
    Thanks,

    I had a similar problem with autofill. Repairing permissions with Onyx seemed to work. (But first, double-check that Autofill is enabled and your "me" Address Book card is correct.)

  • Auto-Rotate not working correctly after 8.1.1 update

    Updated my iPhone 5s to 8.1.1 last night.  Auto-Rotate will rotate to the side but will not rotate back now.
    Surely this is not by design??

    It may be an app that is doing it. If its fine after a reset and then does it at some point, keep track of what apps you are running. There was an app that would always lock my ipad2. I don't recall now which one. Somewhere along the line it must have got patched.
    The only problem I'm having with the air is that the split keyboard comes up very crudely compared to ios7. A full gray rectangle is drawn and then the center disappears. It looks very ameturish.
    I am having some Safari issues on my phone. Not sure if it's an iOS8 thing yet or not.

  • Portal Upgrade and Bi iviews not working

    Dear All,
    Initially the portal version was nw2004s sp 12, and it has been upgraded to nw2004s sp18.Now, the BI iviews which are under the migrated content do no work for a preview as well.
    It throws the following error when I preview
    The initial exception that caused the request to fail was:
    Error: Internal error. No esid found.
    I did have a look at a relevant note : 1166422 but not to sure how to proceed with this.
    Any steps that need to be performed to help resolve this issue would be appreciated.
    Regards.

    Hi WD4A,
             We have faced the same problem after upgrading our SP Level to 14.You might have created those IVIEWS using a system other than the SAP LOCAL SYSTEM.At the time of creating IVIEWS in EP above SP-14 it supports only SAP LOCALSYSTEM.
    Please check the SAP Note - 1140854.

  • WAP300N upgrading and restore configuration not working...

    Hi,
    We've a WAP300N accespoint and for a couple of months it works well, till last day.
    All connectivity going down, throughput of data slowed down, acces time increased.
    For example, when someone uses his/her laptop to navigate on our server, sometimes the connection resets, or the responstime to get the folder was more than 60 seconds.
    So I did reset the ap and problem was still there.
    So restored it to fabric defaults and then I another issue came there: I want to restore the original configuration file.
    So I navigate to management->restore, I select the .dat file and hit "restore", but sometime my browser shows me "page not found" then or sometimes it jumps to "time out".
    Sometimes the bar goes to 100% and the device restarts, but nothing happens.
    So then I thought, maybe there's an upgrade (our AP has firmware 1.0.00) and yes, 1.0.01.009 is released so I tried an upgrade.
    Same story, different browsers, all I get is sometimes "page not found" and sometimes "time out". 
    Firmware is still 1.0.00...
    Does anyone recognize this kind of problem and know how to solve this? 
    Resetting the AP to factory defaults and then trying to upgrade doesn't work either...
    I used Comodo dragon, google chrome and IE as browser... all browsers results in the same story..
    Hope someone could help me?
    N.B.: The AP has a fixed IP, but with DHCP enabled, it gives the same problem.
    Regards,
    John

    Hi BSAEMS. Since the firmware update was unsuccessful, this link may help you properly perform the process. Once done, I suggest that you press and hold the reset the WAP300N for another 30 seconds and try to set it up again manually without using the saved backup file. To further isolate this matter as well, you may try using a different computer.

  • WRT54GS v2.1 Firmware upgraded and wireless will not work

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a WRT54GS v2.1 wireless g broadband router. I updated the firmware WRT54GSv3_4.71.4.001_fw.bin since that was what the linksys website said i needed. After updating the firmware on the router, my two laptops can see the router but are not able to connect to it. If I connect through the ethernet cord, then I can get online and access the admin page of the router. I have no clue if a setting got messed up or the firmware caused it to go nuts. Please let me know if someone knows anything. 
    Thanks
    Delta

    After you upgrade the firmware you are to reset the router by pressing the reset switch in back for 30 seconds.  When done, power cycle the router.  Now you must reconfigure the routers wireless settings as they are all gone.  Make sure the security settings on the router match your wireless settings.
    Go here for help.
