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?
Thanks
Friends:
Issue: Unable to get out of sleep and unable to get monitor to work properly on dock.
I experienced same on my T440p. Here is what worked for me:
Update bios. Verify that startup memory is 512K within bios (hit F1 at startup and locate menu item under video)
Update Docking station driver.
Updated my external monitor driver.
Used a VGA cord from docking station (Pro 90W) and set default to VGA on my monitor. Inconsitent results from other connectors otherwise.
Verified that my Windows operating system AND my installed drivers were consistent. If your company, like mine, choose to remain with a Win 7 system, then it may get confusing. My new T440p is labeled Win 8, so some folks may be doing harm with upgrades/updates.
These things were done with unknown results (they may have helped):
Updated fingerprint driver. I am having no issues and use it daily. I did turn off password protection when one would awaken the computer just to prevent an issue there.
Verified that I am using the correct power cable to my dock. If you don't use the 90W adapter (for the 90W unit, for example) you will get odd outcomes. Mine included not being able to have the monitor powered on while computer was on dock.
Set the monitor priority on the desktop, not just the FN-F7 hotkey. With your montor hooked up and powered on, right click on the desktop, go to Grpahic options, output to, clone displays, Built-in + Digital. Then the FN-F7, or just F7 depending upon if your FN lock key is on or off, works fine. I was stupid, by the way...FN lock is toggled using Fn and Esc keys. Old eyes.
Cheers.

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 + Laptop
Currently, 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 goal and endstate is to have the system recognize and operate as 3 seperate displays (extended desktop).
In my attempt to achieve this, I obtained a Mini Display Port to VGA converter, plugging one external display into each port (VGA and Mini Display port converted to VGA) the system now recognizes the a 3rd monitor, but it will not allow me to extend (or even activate it). I am only able to run 2 screens simultaneously. Whenever I try to activate the 3rd display ("extend desktop to this display") when I hit apply, I get an error message stating "unable to save display settings".
Is there a solution to this where I will be able to run all 3 displays? The only thing I have not tried is using a splitter on the Mini Display port as I do not currently have access to one.
I have a nearly new T440s with Lenovo-installed SSD - in scanning the event log this morning I found 20 events (all posted yesterday at the same time) that said:
The device, \Device\Harddisk0\DR0, has a bad block.
I'm not sure how much to panic.
Per Device manager this drive was mfg. by Samsung and lists the ID string:
device SCSI\Disk&Ven_SAMSUNG&Prod_MZ7TE512HMHP-000\4&90e12bd&0&000000
From some earlier poking around that I did, although the drive is mfg. by Samsung the Samsung SSD managment tool: The latest version of the "Samsung Magician" - V4.4 does not recognize the drive ....
(which is a Samsung PM851 - The tool does not SAY it supports the PM851 only the PM850 drives… not sure if this is the issue or not…)
http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/minisite/SSD/us/html/support/downloads.html
I can't find any similar tool for SSD maintenance / managment on the Lenovo website :-(
(just firmware updater...)
SMART Status says:
"Uncorrectable Error Count" and ECC Error rate are both in "FAIL" status
I'll likely open a support ticket unless one of the group here has a good suggestion?
Any thoughts appreciated!
Pointer to older thread:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/500MB-Lenovo-installed-SSD-mfg-by-Samsung-...
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 in.
So I tried upgrading the dock station firmware by downloading the fwdphb03 latest firmware, and this does not launch despite being connected to the docking station and using an external monitor and properly plugged in.
Any ideas?!
Thanks

Your C Drive, we assume Windows is installed there, should be set to "System Managed Size". AKA, let Windows do it and leave it alone.

Hello, I have an old T400s and would love to upgrade the wireless card to 802.11ac but I can't find any information on this anywhere, is this even possible?
Thank you

Hi I have a T 400 ThinkpadI
and I keep getting this message FVQO is depressed
ctrl -alt- delete to restart.
then it comes right back to the same screen
If I go to the bios there is no option to reset to defalt.sometimes I get the messade error stuck key 01 sometimes stuck key 43
I have replaced the keyboard after seeing if there was one key which acually was depressed, but no , no key is pysical depressed or stuck so it must be a software problem.
How do I fix this problem.
An idea anyone
thanks a million
All the best

Dear Mr. Kumar,
thank you very much for the fast answer. I tried the following:
1.) Switch off laptop
2.) Take out battery, energy only by power cable
3.) Switch on
4.) Deinstall the mentioned battery driver (Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery)
5.) Switch off
6.) Disconnect power cable for a few seconds
7.) Reconnect power cable
8.) Switch on (Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery seems to be automatically reinstalled)
9.) Put in battery
10.) Disconnect cable
=> Laptop crashes, immediate black screen
Did I follow the right steps? What else might help?
Thank you very much!
Best regards
Julian
P.S. Battery status is "no activity", 100% loaded, FRU code is 42T4791.

Hello Hermanth! Thanks for your reply, please see my notes below.
Is the issue persisting in Local Admin user?Per company policy, all PCs are logged into with domain accounts that are not local admins. Our environment is tightly controlled, and I am unable to change this.
Have checked if the issue persists if the user is set to administrator group?See above, I am unable to make our users a member of the administrators group.
Have you checked with updating all the Windows update, except drivers?Windows Updates are rolled out on a controlled schedule, and all machines are on the same patch level. I am unable to arbitrarily patch individual workstations.
Please click here to get some assistance on the issue; you have to perform this on your own risk.That was an interesting read, and the issue is similar to mine but with one key difference. This post describes an issue that is created upon a reboot, but our issue is resolved upon a reboot. We have seen this issue manifest itself in a variety of situations, but never when the computer is rebooted or first turned on. Furthermore, we have no GPOs that modify any of the referenced settings.
Please let me know what my next steps are to continue troubleshooting this issue.
Thanks,
Anthony
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 mobility
Again, the T series were really known for the longest time as being the 14" form factor, and then the 15" from the T42 and T42p onwards. There was never a T-series smaller than 14" and never a X-series larger than 13" ... until the X1 in 2011. When I would advise business clients a while back it was pretty clearcut .. the X were the ultraportable's with 12" - 13" screens, and the T-series was full-sized laptops with all the extra ports, optical drive etc ... very simple, and business people like simplicity!
T-series ultrabook are more mobility oriented, therefore I suggest switching to the naming convention to X
Are you talking about the T440 or T440s? Actually according to Intels definition of what an Ultrabook is are either of them technically an Ultrabook? PCworld.com says:
"An Ultrabook must now be outfitted with a touchscreen, and Intel is encouraging manufacturers to build two-in-one convertible designs (notebooks with touchscreens that detach from their keyboards to become tablets). Also, no laptop can be thicker than 23mm (0.9 inches) if it’s to be marketed as an Ultrabook, and it must now be hardware-ready for voice command and control.
Ultrabook battery-life requirements have been extended to provide at least six hours of HD video playback; a minimum of nine hours when Windows 8 is idling; and at least seven days of standby time. An Ultrabook must now wake from sleep mode in less than three seconds.
In addition to supporting wireless networking, an Ultrabook must now also support Intel’s Wireless Display technology for streaming its video output to a supported display or adapter."
Anyhow, I think the X and T series need to be redefined back to how they were when there was a X41 and a T41. Get rid of the X131e, X140 ... as well as the low-end T430u/T440 ... the T440 should be the flagship with the T440s as it's slimmer counterpart. Either that or just have the T440p for performance and T440s for slimline - no third model is needed.
Hi everyone!
I just received three new T440p laptops using Win7 Pro. Unfortunately, the wireless link to keeps disconnecting ever so frequently on all the machines. I have updated the Wireless drivers, reinstalled the BIOS and even optimised power options to enhance the wireless perfomance but none have worked.
Does anyone have a fix for this?
Best,
Ramadhan
I am curious if anyone out there has been able to connect the belkin miracast video adapter to their smart TV? I am Not getting the option to connect to wireless display in settings on Windows 8.1 Thinkpad 2 tablet.

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 Lenovo, but so far only acknowledgement in one thread that I've seen.
The symptom is no Internet access for about 5 minutes or more for all computers on the network!. Task Manager shows a high volume of outbound network traffic from discovery.exe to a large group of 169.254.xxx.xxx addresses (shown in Resource Monitor).

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 battery, I did a bios update to 3.25 and changed the slots, tried the single module - nothing.
Do you have any ideas?
Thank you very much,
Jan
