Re: Fingerprint Reader not working upon waking from sleep for windows login

This trial driver seems to have solved the issues on my W540 as well, and the FP reader is now working reliably.I still have an issue that I was hoping this driver would solve: on my old W520 I could wake the computer with the FP Reader, and this was a very nice option, but this option is greyed out on the W540. Is it not possible to wake the W540 with the FP reader?ThanksView the original article h...

T530i multiple external displays without dock

Hello all,I'm having an issue trying to set up a T530i with Intel HD Graphics 400 with multiple external displays.  I have searched the forum and not found anything similar, it looks like most people are using docking stations with their configurations which I don't have.  Here is what I'm trying to set up.External + External + LaptopCurrently, I am running a VGA splitter to the External displays.  This works as expected, replicating the display on both externals, as Windows only sees the connection as one external display.My...

Issue T540p Ultradock sound via HDMI & fwdphb03 not launching

My problem is that when I'm connected with the t540p to the ultradock that this sound comes from the local speakers instead of through the HDMI cable though the monitor and then through my external speaker which are way better.In the Sound playback devices I have written: "High definietyion Audio Device Not plugged in". So I tried connecting directly via laptops mindpoit to the monitor and then it worked. But as soon as I connected it to the docking station which is also connected to the same monitor via DVI plug then it results as Not plugged...

Re: Thoughts on the T440/s/p lineup

However, X1, X1 Carbon 1st and 2nd gen are 14 inches.That is true. Good point. I guess it's just that the X1's 14" form is a relative newcomer to the X-series, being that it only appeared on the stage about 11 years after the first X-series machine, which I believe was the X20 back in 2000 ... so it just seems odd to liken the series with a form factor that has only been in existance for 2-3 years.T-series are well-known for balance between performance and mobilityAgain, the T series were really known for the longest time as being the 14" form...

Re: T440s, major WiFi and Bluetooth instability

Another MAJOR problem with many recent models of Lenovo laptops is the Lenovo EMC Storage Coordinator program (I think that is it's name -- I removed it some time ago).  It periodically runs discovery.exe which results in a Denial of Service condition that locks the entire network the laptop is using -- both WLAN and LAN.In a thread for the Yoga ThinkPad, Lenovo staff acknowledged the problem and recommended that the program be uninstalled immediately. This serious problem deserves a broadcast alert to all owners of affected models by...

Re: T400 Ram Upgrade, 2x4 Gb, only beeps

Hey guys, I've got following problem.So far I use 6 Gb (4+2) in my T400 2765-52G. The rams are from Kingston (4gb, kvr1066d3s7/4g) and Samsumg (2gb, m471b5673eh1). This works.I need additional ram so I bought an 8gb stick from Kingston. But the Notebook only beeped (short pause short short short pause short). I realized the G45 does only support more than 4Gb for each slot. So I ordered 4Gb. First from Kingston (KVR16S11S8/4) then from Samsung (M471b5173bh0). They did not work either. Same result as above.I removed the ac adapter + battery + bios...
