x200, on screen display can't show the LCD brightness level
x200, on screen display can't show the LCD brightness level
I have an thinkpad x200. I upgraded it to windows 7 home premium. And I installed the hotkey feature. The on screen volume level works just fine, think light on screen display also works when I activate it. But there is no on screen LCD brightness display. Anyone has the same problem?
Thanks
Thanks
Re: x200, on screen display can't show the LCD brightness level
I can't get any OSD to come up. No volume, brightness, or Think Light indicators.
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I've tried the Beta "hotkey features" and also the Windows 7 "hotkey features."
Not sure what to do here... I really liked those things.

Re: x200, on screen display can't show the LCD brightness level
You're welcome. It's from the Lenovo's list of drivers for the X200. Make sure you have all drivers installed for best optimal experience with Win7.b0yd07 wrote:No idea where you got that file, but it works! Thank you!

Thank you Avalon, I had somehow installed a much older driver. This one works very nicely!AvalonXIII wrote:Did you install this:

Re: x200, on screen display can't show the LCD brightness level
I actually had this problem.. Apparantly you have to use an older hotkey or power mangaement driver. I just reformatted again, but I can't find those drivers that i previously used that worked...
edit: Nevermind the install manager was comparing to the current version that i had installed.. the 50 is infact newer.
Although the linked drivers are for some reason newer(version 6 vs version 5)
"6wvu17ww.exe" than lenovo's current driver listing of "6wvu50ww.exe"
also evident by the new style of display with black borders and a continuous progress bar rather than individual block levels
I still can't get the brightness now
EDIT:
WAIT WAIT WAIt now i remember why it was so confusing... It wasn't so much the version of lenovo's "hotkey features integration" causing the display brightness level to not show up but it's that you need an older version of INTEL's display drivers.. or maybe just not use the window 7 automatically downloaded ones
either way i know for sure
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc ... d808ww.exe
works
maybe newer intel drivers work if downloaded from lenovo's site but not sure..

Re: x200, on screen display can't show the LCD brightness level
i also had this problem and i dont want to use the old intel driver because the latest intel driver gives me a high WEI score
is there any hotkey fix yet to work with the latest intel driver?

I have the same problem but with Windows XP. After running al Windows Update, then running all Thinkpads updates from System Update, the hotkey end up not working.

Re: x200, on screen display can't show the LCD brightness le
I recently formatted my X200T to use Win 7 Professional x64.
The OSD was broken as well.
The eventual combination of drivers that worked for me are...
1. Video drivers- "7xd808ww.exe" (linked by eatbuckshot earlier -http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc ... d808ww.exe )
* Microsoft Windows* 7 64
* Driver Revision: Production Version 15.15.3.64.1855
* Package: 70948
*
* Graphics: 8.15.10.1855
* HDMI Audio: 6.10.1.2073
*
* July 31, 2009
2. OSD package: "83vu54ww.exe"
including-
On Screen Display 6.22.00
ThinkPad FullScreen Magnifier 2.22
Lenovo System Interface Driver 1.05
Lenovo Auto Scroll Utility 1.00
------------
Packages that didn't work for me, but YMMV since I haven't tested all varying combinations...
Video
7xd656ww.exe (15.17.12.64.2226 ; October 28, 2010)
7xd658ww.exe (8.15.10.255; 28 Mar 2012)
OSD
8jvu42ww.exe (currently listed on the driver site)
