I've got the same problem with my T410. User installed Windows 7, lastest lenovo drivers, etc. 9-cell battery. Seems very random. I'd have 85% battery left, and it would all of a sudden go into hibernation as if the critical battery level was triggered. Most days I can use the laptop on battery with...

Do you have the firmware update for your battery? http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70812 This battery firmware update utility fixes an issue where some batteries indicate an incorrect full charge capacity value. Because of this error, the amount of...

User installed OS.

Yes, it's a T410 with discrete graphics.

This is from my T410:

My T410 hasn't arrived yet, so I can only go by the pictures, Yes the front right slot under the lid latch is the card reader. Not sure what media it reads, but should at least read SD cards.

The slot on the right hand side next to the headphone jack is the ExpressCard/34 slot.

Welcome to the forum! As for your restart issue, my instincts tells me it's probably one of the software you installed that isn't working well with Windows 7. Try removing Zone Alarm and AVG, and see if you still have restarts. Also to help with finding out what is causing the BSOD's, it may help to...

According to the tabook, the T410s uses the same batteries as the T400s, and 9-cell batteries don't exist for either. Only 4 and 6 cell.

Download the drivers here: Audio drivers Run that, it'll extract the drivers. If it says you already have the files, go ahead and overwrite them. The drivers have not been installed yet. You still have to do this: 1. Click Start and then click Run. 2. Type C:\DRIVERS\WIN\AUDIO\SETUP.EXE in the Open ...

Do you have the audio driver listed in Device Manager?

What operating system are you running? XP? Vista? Linux?

Sounds like you're missing the audio drivers.

Please go to:

Lenovo Driver downloads


and download and install the audio drivers. Hope that helps.

Reinstalling the drivers for the wireless should fix that, if not post back with results.

Didn't notice that. My bad.

Yes I agree it's not a good idea if your only reason is for data safety purpose. Always have a backup of your data on a separate drive. My main reason is for organizational purposes and allows me to format the OS parition without worrying about my data. I also dual boot between Vista and XP, and it ...

What are the pros and cons of doing that? Are those real benefits, or imagined ones? For me, I tend to reinstall windows a lot, and I don't have to worry about saving my personal files. I can just do a format of the OS partition and reinstall windows and my personal files are still there. Of course...

Is the drive recognized in BIOS? What drive is it?

Since nobody has replied, I'll try. I don't have one myself, but that drive should work fine. I don't think it'll make the fan come on less often though. However you'll notice dramatic increase in harddrive performance as SSD drives have no seek times. There is no advantage of getting the 32gb vs. t...

That Dell 22" is 1680x1050, which should be supported.

Are they drives new? Can you see them in drive management?

They will need to be partitioned and formated in drive management before windows will assign a drive letter to them.

Li-ion batteries lose capacity with age, whether you use it or not. They also lose capacity the more cycles it has gone through.

Why not skip the Win altogether and use Linux. Much more stable and if you are a software developer then running Linux will be np. And with Gentoo linux you get a skeleton system and you are in total control to add apps and stuff to it to get a 99% fitted system to your needs. True, but I think he ...

it feels like there is someting underneath of it and it does not allow it to travel fully. I dont know if i should take it appart and clean it or call IBM and ask for a new one ?

t42 still under warranty

I would do both.

Did you try the firmware update that I mentioned?

Have you upgraded the firmware for the harddrive? That's what fixed it for me.

Just download the ISO version, burn it on a CD and boot from it. Good luck.
