Re: How do I play key sounds when I type?

dr-st: I have spent a lot of time trying to get these to work, with little success. Neither will work on my Lenovo Thinkpad T14. Running latest version of Windows 10 Pro 21H2. The Windows Filter Keys method installs, but does nothing. No sounds at all. The Mechvibes program https://www.mobigyaan.com...

Re: How do I play key sounds when I type?

dr-st: Thanks for the very rapid reply. Aren't all mechanical keyboards 'touch <g>'? I guess I am old fashioned, but I don't know why anyone would want a silent keyboard, especially since the ones on the Thinkpad don't have any detents that I can feel. Thanks for the links. I didn't realize that you...

How do I play key sounds when I type?

I have two Lenovo Thinkpad laptops: a T14 and an older E430. Both are running Windows 10 Pro, Version 21H2, OS Build 19044.1526 (the latest as of this post). I want to have my keyboard play a key sound when I type. I searched both Lenovo and Windows, and both provide the same directions: In Windows,...

Re: Wireless Radio issue

Bruce: My post was not very clear. The wireless radio is supposed to work as you noted. One must turn it on or off to switch between a wired ethernet network and wireless. That is what I always did until I upgraded to Win 10. Now that feature no longer works. All the images and buttons are there, bu...

Wireless Radio issue

My Thinkpad E430 was purchased with Windows 7 Pro preinstalled. It came with something called Wireless Radio, which allows one to connect wirelessly to a network. I have an in-house network, and I sometimes used this feature to connect to it when I am not near an Ethernet connection. A couple of mon...

I also have an XP tower which I still run for a couple of very specific programs. I may try to upgrade the Win 7 tower to Win 10 in the future, but I want to make sure that the c...

Re: E430-Error Message for Lenovo Solutions for Small Business

After reading that link, I got rid of almost everything from Lenovo. I have temporarily kept Lenovo Vantage Service on my new T14, because it appears to have a few useful features. So I plan to look at it a little more closely.

Thanks for all your help in sorting out the Lenovo addons.

Lenovo apps on my T14s

I recently purchased a new Lenovo Thinkpad T14s. Other than Lenovo not mentioning at all on their webpage that I needed to buy a special adapter to connect to my Ethernet network, it seems to be running fine so far. This laptop has three Lenovo apps: Commercial Vantage, Quick Clean, and Vantage Serv...

E430-Error Message for Lenovo Solutions for Small Business

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad E430 (14") which I have had for years. It came with Windows 7 Pro (64 bit). I recently updated it to run Windows 10 Pro (now Version 21H1). It seems to work just fine: in fact the colors are much better and the icons larger than on a new Thinkpad T14 I just purchased with Wi...

Re: E430 Battery charge threshold issue

Lenovo Solutions probably is not necessary software. Have you tried fully uninstalling and reinstalling power manager and the power management driver? If that doesn't fix it, hypothetically the problem could also be the battery itself, you could try doing a battery recalibration that power manager ...

Re: E530c and windows 10 compatibility

PS. By the way, do you know what does c letter on thinkpad edge model means? What is the difference between E530 and E530c? It appears that the 'c' version has an i3 processor, whereas the E530 has either an i5 or i 7 processor. Here is a link to the E530 specs. https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops...

I have rebooted multiple times, over several days, since I set the charge thresholds. No difference.

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad E430. I bought it in 2012. My operating system is Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) SP1. It has Lenovo Solutions 2.2.002, which I have never updated. I don't use it much, and it is always hooked up to AC power except when I travel. I recently decided to lower the charge thresholds, so ...

Thinkpad E430

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad E430 laptop. I cannot find the 'E' series listed in any of your forum topics, and searching for 'E430' brought up nothing. Which topic do I use to ask a question about an E430?
