I just tried to order one. i contacted sales chat
"Would you like me to order you with a discount?"
I say, how much discount.
Gets back to me and says "they are sold out, give me your email address, I will let you know when there are more"

Could it be the "awake from sleep" checkbox found in the "change advanced features" in Microsoft battery management "Power options"

Yeah 80GB "usable" were used. Or only 140GB left out of the original 248GB. Sounds like good news and good advice. I just wanted to make sure that there isn't something on my hard drive that isn't supposed to be there. I had just sanitized it using Sandisk software. Thanks. Between today and yesterd...

Using a new, clean hard drive I installed the factory system disks on a W530 quad with 32GB RAM, and then rebooted a couple times = 80GB on my SSD hard drive? That seem excessive? Is that including my RAM or something? (I make donations on this site, help LOL.)

Maybe a boot order problem. Have you tired that?

Changing it from ultrabay dvd to ultrabay hdd might still need to be changed in bios if you want to boot from it. Secondly the drive's content might not be bootable but still be recogizable.

I had a similar problem with this, and I did what I always do which is to go to the Lenovo website directly and download the application which includes the drivers. What I do in this situation is completely wipe the hard drive which of course includes the registry . I figure out the drive manufactur...

1. Try unplugging everything including battery and CMOS battery. Related.. it might not be shutting all the way off.
2 A screwed up registry can sometimes supercede BIOS , for instance the NoDriveAutorun registry entry does.

Thanks for all of your help, it sort of worked but it also turned out that my installation CD was problematic but you got me to the point where I was able to boot from a USB which in turn allowed me to wipe out my hard drive which was my original goal. Problem is is that if you use an application to...

I have a bios problem That won't allow me to boot from a USB or CD. I've tried changing the boot order which didn't work and I also tried changing some of the other settings such as UEFI or Legacy.. There's no supervisor password setup so there's no secure Boot I also have a couple hackers that live...

thanks.

Hello Folks. Replacing the worn out surface on the Touchpad? Is it possible. I found this on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOUyhqnaGcU And this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-ThinkPad-T420S-T430-T430S-T510I-T520I-T530I-W510-W520-W530-TouchPad-Stickes-/272016776637?hash=item3f55769dbd:...

with mine it is a matter of touching it. If I come remotely close to the eject button it opens the the disk tray.

This thread is a flashback. Back when the T61 was shipping new was right around the time in personal computing when everyone wanted to be online at all time and at almost any cost, but Hotspots where not always easy to find yet. The discussion here about the beeping BIOS especially had me cracking u...

It is just a hair trigger problem. A problem that has been getting worse by the year since the IBM divestiture.

Thanks for all of your advice. I recall back when I had my T43, I found a utility from Hitachi that let me wipe the drive. Then I installed from the IBM System disks thus eliminating the extra partitions. Based on advice from this board, I purchased a new Sandisk Extreme Pro SSD for my w530 i7 3920X...

I had problems with the system disks. On a T43P for instance I reinstalled them twice, and ended up with three restore partitions. The orignal and two new ones. This drive is only 160 gb. So my goal is to wipe it completely clean, and then use the system disks. ( I like some of the Lenovo bloatware)...

I am trying to completely re-format a SSD using windows.

Thanks man. Is there anyway to do it from windows or I do have the system disks?

Hello Folks, I have a T520 i7, how do I completely erase hard drive (SSD), including all partitions. I got hacked by a relative that had access to the PC. Thanks

For Sale: two T520's and one W530: PayPal. Confirmed address, verified account, USA address. W530 i7-3920XM, SSD 240GB, K2000M, 16GB RAM, FP, Win7. Grade A shape.

Realblackstuff looks like a perfect choice. Thanks friend.

The 240GB seems to use considerably less power than the 500GB and 1000GB.

Power usage (idle) 5.5mW 19mW 19mW
Power usage (read | write) 2.7W | 2.6W 2.7W | 3.5W 2.9W | 3.6W

but please do remember that xx20 and xx30 series have an SATA-II port connected to mSATA slot, so whatever you get it will be limited to 3 Gbps speed. If you really want to improve disk I/O performance I'd recommend to reconsider your options and than invest your money into good 2,5" SATA SSD + HDD...

Or Lenovo might of made the 170 watt keyed to prevent people from doing what this guy was saying and or using outdated 90 watt adapters, but money probably had more to do with it.

I just purchased a W530 3920XM, 16GB, 250GB SSD. It is slow as dirt, slower than my T520 in some categories because the non-factory SSD in it is the worst CNET ever reviewed. I want to put in a mSATA drive. I don't do much with my computers, mostly internet and occasionally DVD's. A couple questions...

This is strange because on eBay they are marketed as "Genuine-Lenovo-ThinkPad-W520-W530-170W-20V-AC-Adapter-Charger-45N0118"

I wasn't thrilled with all of the offset number keypads, so I ended up buying a W530 with the 3920XM processor, SSD, and K2000M. I am going to put in 32 GB RAM and ride that into the ground for a years. I will be on the lookout for another one just like it to use as a back up. Thanks again for all y...

BRCHAN, thanks so much for your all help. You mentioned the keyboard being problematic on the M4800? What's the problem and does that apply to the M4300? Thanks again.

I am not necessarily worried about the "thick and heavy, and the Trackpoint response is far worse than those you may find in a classic thinkpads" I don't use the Trackpoint, never have. I need the quality, performance, durability, and a keyboard / touchpad that actually works. I will look in to the ...

My Thinkpad journey has been long and fulfilling, but I am down to my last 520, so it's time get a couple near new laptops. I am hoping that there is something better than Lenovo. Whats the best on the market? For comparison purposes say if IBM were still making laptops what would be the equivalent ...
