Z60t, no display on startup, no working LED's except side one and bluetooth, no loading of OS.

Hi all,
Sorry to make my first post a question, just got a really tricky question and navigating the lenovo website doesn't easily provide me with a support email/field.
I have used this laptop without fault for approx. 2 years, but it no longer boots. When the power on button is pressed, no lights other than bluetooth led is active. There is also a green led active by the side of the optical drive (near the rear USB port). The sound of the hard drive being active (spinning) can be heard, as well as occasional access. The screen only shows the IBM logo briefly (bottom left, approx 3cm/30mm high font) and then becomes blank. When plugged into an external monitor, there is no picture. Attempts to access the BIOS (via the F1 key at boot-up) are unsuccessful as the screen is too dim to view.
I look forward to any suggestions. It's pretty annoying if I can't repair/diagnose my own laptop when I work in an IT department!
Cheers,
Chris

@christillis:
Let's try one last thing here, before I start sounding like the voice of doom and gloom:
Remove the battery, hard and media drives, unplug the AC adapter. Press the "power" button 10 times in a row, holding it down for 10 seconds each time, and 30 seconds the last time around.
Plug the AC adapter back and try to power on.
Good luck and let us know.
Cheers,

HT1695 My Iphone5 has recently stopped working on wi-fi at home and bluetooth in the car. I am able to connect several other devices to my wi-fi at home and my Iphone will connect to other wi-fi alternatively to my home.

Hi
My Iphone 5 has recently stopped working on my home wi-fi and my car bluetooth. The phone will connect to other wi-fi devices but nothing on the bluetooth at all. Other devices are able to connect to the home wi-fi.
I have reset network settings and reset all settings. Still it wont connect to the home wi-fi or my car.
I have since taken my car in for it to be checked by the garage and am having the same problems in my courtesy car.
Short of throwing the phone out of the window any suggestions how I can fix it?
I'm thinking it'll have to be a factory restore

Everything works on phone except for SMS and MMS

I just activated my Droid Razr Maxx after breaking my previous phone. I followed the instructions for activation and the phone appeared to be working just fine. I can make phone calls, surf the internet using WiFi or 4G, use Facebook, download apps, etc. Everything is working great on my phone except for texting, which includes regular text messages as well as multimedia messages. If I send an SMS I get an error message saying "Unable to send msg! Retry sending?" and if I try to send a picture message I get a message saying "Invalid Destination Address." If I try to send a text to myself from the Verizon website I get an error saying that the "Message is undeliverable." I also understand that people can't text me from their phones. I've tried various fixes like *228, rebooting my phone, deleting all my text history, but nothing seems to work. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

I think Cody is Correct as for there are Allot of Critical an Non Critical Settings there a C.S.R can give you the Best Guidance Because they can got into your Account With you an point out were to Enable things or Disable things. So you might give them a Call they close Down Operations at 11:00Pm tonight an Reopen at 6:00 in the Morning..b33 Good luck

I installed the creative suite 6 design & web premium, everything works, photoshop, illustrator , except the indesign and I need it!

Why I cant open it ? Why it doesn't have the logo on it like illustrator?

Try running the installer again and focus on only adding the InDesign element.

5k retina display - scroll not working with Safari (both magic mouse and trackpad)

Hi,
suddenly my trackpad and magic mouse stopped working with scrolling (most annoying one) and other gestures.
I recently bought the iMAC 5K retina display and was not expecting this by any means...
I have a ton of tabs open on safari and simply "refuse" to try the old windows way of rebooting the machine...
I have to use the arrow keys to scroll down... this is insane
could you please advise? am I missing something?
many thanks

Just found out the reason I couldn't get the two to play nicely. I had connected my keyboard and trackpad using a "Magic Wand" which looked great. Unfortunately the magic wand had a connecting piece to fill in the gap between the two pieces and this was preventing the little pads underneath the trackpad clicking. So I can only guess that because the trackpad couldn't click it thought it was stuck and therefore also locked up the mouse. I've remove the connector and both pieces work perfectly together!

Please add indicator LED light for the HDD and sleep back, add some system hotkey

After Lenovo have announced the new T440 T540，we were shocked by the graphic card: GT720m (game card) and no indicator LED for HDD. At last we need a NVS graphic card to do some grophic related work or mobile business.
So we waited for the new w540, after coming to public we were shocked again there is :
- no indicator LED for HDD, sleep, wift and bluetooth,
- no hotkey to disable touchpad
- no hotkey to sleep
- no turn on/off screen hotkey
- no hot plug for cdrom or second HDD
these are miserable and somehow funny, maybe no indicator for apple is ok as most new macbooks are all SSD
rather than mechanical hard disk.
maybe no led for sleep for apple is ok as Mac OS goes to sleep very quick and they use SSD. But for thinkpads we close the lid and wait for the moon LED light to take thinkpad freely, also for the sake of hard disk rotation. Now we need to look at the power button which is impossible when the lid is closed.
no hotkey for sleep ? some friends said " Fn+4 acts as a suspend shortcut (I think it was added in BIOS 2.05)" , we hope it is ok.
no notkey to off display? no hotkey to disable touchpad? It is really unconvenient
So is there update for these minus? Hotkey may update by the BIOS and driver. Will lenovo do so? After testing well, it will be back really easy to use.
And is there any Modle B for w540 to add LED back ? Missing indicator LED for HDD is nightmare for troubleshooting. Miss sleep indicator in front of Thinkpad(A-Side) is miserable for bringing sleeping w540.
Miss wifi and bluetooth is also unconvenient..... And it is not a very hard work.
Also it is said there is no driver update for fingerprinter reader from AuthenTec, because AuthenTec is bought by Apple?
For thoso who do is really smart but also keep the good previous features,
PLEASE

Today on shutting down the W540, I get the Windows blue shut down screen with the comment:
"Operations are in progress, pleases wait. The machine will be turned off automatically after the operations are complete."
OK, so I waited 20+ minutes.... Mouse logo spinning, but no idea what i/o's are going on. Fast disk access? Slow disk access, intermittent disk access? Or is it locked? CtrlAltDel has no action. Mouse cursor does move.
So did a cold boot/restart (still not knowing what was happening in the Black Box). Must have locked up restarting, as I waited 10+ minutes with NO IDEA what was going on, a REAL "black box".
Cold booted again, and tried a Safe Mode. Worked!, and did a check disk - said not errors????. All OK now.... but WHERE IS THE HD LIGHT!!!!!!!
Now I just cheked, the Dell, ASUS, TOSHIBA, SONY workstations have them..... We need to review this carefully at the R&D level, AND NOT LISTEN TO MARKETING! T'was, my fault for deciding on the W540, I never checked that specification, and just ASSumed all the indicators lights would be there! Now I'm stuck with a $2,500 toy - never feeling secure in the work being done. I need rwo more workstartion, but it will be a nuissance to be on two types of workstations.
When I run my Stat package, it takes sometime 1+hr of analysis, I have no idea if the program is waiting, paused, or locked.... no HD activity light, no heartbeat no idea if I need to reboot, or wait. Maybe it's an act ot terrorism to waste US worker's time ???? <g>

T400 Display works at start up but Dark after Windows 7 loads --- Video port works

My T400 display works at BIOS startup but goes black was soon as Windows 7 starts to load.. Video out put works and I can see an UN Backlit image on the display. Is there some sort back light controller /driver that may be broken.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sorry, should have been more specific
I don't mean you should switch to Linux, just run it out of a live CD or USB Stick so that we can rule out a hardware failure. If it works in Linux ok for a while, it can mean that you have some sort of software problem.
If your T400 screen goes dark with Linux as well, you may be facing a hardware problem, which could be a defective backlight, a defective inverter (or LED card) or a defective cable.
Can you post here the model type of your T400? It's a 7 digit code that can be found in a black and white sticker at the bottom of the laptop.

Garbled display at startup when connecting to External Monitor - MBP Early 2011.

Hi,
When i connect my Early 2011 MBP to an external display i get a garbled display at startup.
I then have to disconnect the hdmi cable to the external monitor, after which the display clears up (on the laptop) and then when i reconnect the external monitor, it works fine. The problem with this process is that i have to do it each time i start/boot my laptop with the external display connected. The display mode is currently set to mirror displays if that helps.
Would appreciate any advice users with this kind of set up can provide. Thank you in advance.

Welcome!!
It could be that you are using the external in "mirrored mode" with the res set above the max res for the MBP screen. On my Late 2007 MBP, the F7 key toggles between mirrored mode and "spanning" (or "extended desktop") mode and System preferences will let you set the two displays independently. I use an external monitor in spanning mode and have not experienced a problem as I have the internal display prefs set to a comfortable res for its hardware.

Won't display after startup

My Mac mini didn't display after the grey startup screen so I took it to the store. They got it working. At home it didn't work. I called Apple. They troubleshot with me on the phone then said they'd get me a new one.
The new Mac mini started up fine and worked earlier today, even with restarts, but now it is not working.
After grey startup, I get a solid blue screen, with no mouse, no icons. This is what happened before.
My display is a ViewSonic professional. It's a GREAT monitor and I'd hate to give it up.

Get this. I'm having the same problem with my ViewSonic, the second time in about 10 days, except the problem is also present when I hook up a generic display I use on an old PC. When I plug in the generic display, it puts up a message stating something like both input signals are not working.
My fix was to use a new adapter plug for the monitor that shipped with my Mac G5 at work. I plugged it in and it fixed the problem, but now it's doing the same thing. I though perhaps the ViewSonic was overloading the adapter and frying it.
Ideas?

Test Agent - QTAgentProcessUI - Display on Startup Problem

Hello,
Currently we have a suite of VM's setup on Amazons Web Services (AWS) that have been configured with TFS 2013 Test Agents. These Agents are configured in Interactive Mode as we are attempting to automate our CodedUI tests. Everything is working correctly
with our Test Controller and Test Agent setup. I am using Agents for TFS 2013 Update 4.
The problem is with the QTAgentProcessUI.exe and the "Display this window at startup" checkbox. No matter how many times I uncheck this option to mark it as "do not display this on startup", every single time after a restart, the checkbox
is checked again and the window is displayed.
If i also uncheck this box, perform a correct "Quit" of the application and then fire it up again, the application returns and the checkbox is clicked on again.
I have done some research and the only other solution someone recommended was to do a complete reinstall of windows. I have tried this and I still have the same problem. I've even tried setting up some Powershell scripts to find the QTAgentProcessUI process
and Close the main window, which works if I run the script directly but fails for unknown reasons when run during a Build.
This is becoming a real problem as it is blocking the test application and therefore our tests fail. I'm at my wits end and would just like this tool to work as it's obviously meant to and I'm all out of ideas. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on
how to fix this?

Does the mini display to vga adapter work with a pc (win 7 64-bit)

Its not a thunderbolt adapter. its a mini display to vga adapter. my hp ency pc has a mini display port next to the hdmi port.

First make sure the mini-displayport is firmly seated. They are a bit "sneaky" in that they look like they are fully in but aren't.
I assume that windows has something similar to the mac Displays system preferences. So you need to check that and set if necessary the proper refresh rate and resolution for the projector.
how do i make it work or is it formated for macs only?
What's "it"? The projector shouldn't care where it gets its vga signal from (when using the proper refresh rate and resolution). The adapter is passive and just converts a digital mini-displayport signal to analog vga to pass over the cable (is the cable ok?). That leaves your laptop. I can't speak about it or its video card. But I have to assume that if it supports mini-displayport it should follow the standards for mini-displayports.

External display - maximum resolution only works in safe mode on MBP

I'm having an issue with an external display connected to a 2012 non-retina MacbookPro 15" i7 running 10.9. Monitor is Dell U2713HM, which has a maximum resolution of 2560x1440, and is connected via a Mini-Dipslayport to Displayport cord.
My setup has been working great for over a year, where while at my office I use the macbook closed in "clamshell mode" with the Dell monitor being the only display in use, running at 2560x1440. However today when I came into my office and connected to the dispay as usual, the resolution on the Dell was noticably scaled. System preferences is showing it running Scaled at 1080p, and when I select Best for Display it stretches to a very wide and distorted resolution. I can hold alt and click the Scaled button to display additional resolutions, however the maximum resolution listed is 1600x1200. Same problem regardless of clamshell, mirror, or extended desktop modes.
I've been trying to track down the problem, and have run though the usual procedures: restart, shutdown, reset PRAM, reset SMC, check cord connections, verify disk, repair disk permissions - all to no avail. However when I boot in safe mode the display runs as it should at 2560x1440 without issue, which lets me know its not a problem with the cord or connectioin, but rather something on the OS / GPU side.
I can't for the life of me figure out what is causing the issue. Considering its been working fine for quite some time, and I've made no unusual changes to the MBP in the past 48 hours when the display was working properly, I'm not really sure where to go from here. Hoping to not have to migrate to a new user or repartion my HDD.
Any suggestions on possible solutions?
Thanks.

I stumbled upon a fix. Still not sure what caused the issue in the first place, but for anyone having the same issue, the display override script contained on the site below seems to have fixed the issue.

Satellite P300: Display Driver has stopped working using external monitor

I have a number of these Satellite P300 PSPCCA-OC201Y and recently bought external monitors for them.
Since then we seem to be getting "Display Driver has stopped working and has recovered" messages, then after about 5 of these, it crashes.
Starting with one machine, I have updated display drivers, bios was current, all to no avail.
I then did a complete system restore back to original. Has not solved the problem.
Any ideas?

hi Keven Dickenson,
as you said you restored the system and still there is no way to get things work it may be a hardware issue...
i my opinion you should consult a servicepartner to check this out...
is there any of the machines working with the external monitor at all?
if none of them is able to connect to ext. display maybe your installation has a problem or the monitor is faulty...
try it with another monitor and recover one system to factory installation....

T410s display port no longer works after lenovo / win7 upgrade

Arrggh... I have a Dell u2711h monitor that i connected to my t410s via display port. It worked fine until i did a lenovo driver updateand windows 7 update. Now, it just goes into powersaving mode with the display port. I backed out the windows7 updates, went back to a windows restore point from when i knew the dp worked, uinstalled / reinstalled the lenovo drivers for nvidia nvs 3100m optimus, audio, etc.
The HDMI cable works, the monitor works with display port off of another PC, but no longer on my t410s. Anybody have any ideas? I spent a lot of money getting a big monitor with a high resolution trhough dp, but now i can't use it. Very fustrating.
Any ideas?

Hi dft410s,
Please try in BIOS to isolate hardware/software issue. If problem remains, please contact local lenovo for machine inspection
