Hello, I purchased a Lenovo Z500 laptop secondhand. Brought it home. When you turn it on, you can constantly hear a grinding noise inside, I think it's work hard disk. Installed the energy manager, disabled/enabled the energy saving mode, the sound does not disappear. What could it be? Are you serious? how can I test?
I forgot to add, twice after turning on the CPUZ program the laptop completely froze. What could this be related to? Win 8.

Regarding the lid, if there are knowledgeable people, then tell me what to do with it?
Here is the photo http://savepic.org/2653736.jpg
Plastic is glued very well and firmly with dichloroethane. You take a piece of a similar plastic product and rub it with a file into fine crumbs. Fill the crumbs with dichloroethane. It turns out to be a “sour cream” consistency. You glue it with it.
If you don’t glue it, look for spare parts. Housing with hinges http://emarket.ua/objavlenie/korpus-lenovo-g575-ID1NiV6.html 300 UAH.

Hi all.
The problem I have is very serious and long, for clarity I’ll start from the very beginning) I bought a Lenovo g580 (20150) laptop about six months ago, it was originally Windows 8. I restored the computer several times through a rollback to factory settings, in One fine day, about a week ago, the computer just started to freeze, then it completely shut down and refused to respond to anything, I turned it off via the button, tried to restore it, but the system did not want to be restored, because... I didn't find any system file and in general a complete fuck-up. Okay, I think we'll fix it. I demolished Windows 8...I installed Windows 7 and now I have a bunch of problems and a computer that has already frayed all my nerves. Initially, on Windows 7, the computer refused to work normally at all, it slowed down very much and Windows crashed immediately after installing the drivers (I installed it from the off-site), then after 7 times it seemed to install normally, I installed the drivers, everything worked well. But something else started happening after turning off the computer Windows crashed every time. On this moment I installed Windows 7 again, installed the drivers, on the one hand the computer seems to be working normally, but on the other hand there are constant strange freezes, it’s impossible to install games (although if you turn on the computer and don’t strain it with all sorts of things by starting to install something, then you can I’m happy to play Dota 2, which is installed via installation on Steam, everything is fine there) I installed the drivers from the off site... I don’t know what to do anymore. HDD I checked with CrystalDiskInfo, there is 1 unstable sector, I checked several times hard drive With the standard program (the checks lasted 12 hours), he kept moving some bad clusters there.
Help me revive my computer. Thank you in advance.

Hi all. Welcome new user N76VZ (HD+ Screen / Intel Core i7-3610QM / RAM 4 GB / HDD 1 TB / nVidia GeForce GT 650M). The cost in Kyiv was $1,080.
I specifically took it with an HD+ screen (FullHD is too small for me and I consider it an unnecessary show-off, like many megapixels in cameras), with one screw (to put an SSD in the second compartment). I immediately changed the RAM to a faster Kingston one, and installed the complete bracket in my work laptop :)
I was worried about possible overheating, but after the tests I realized that my fears were in vain. The cooling system is made very competently - air is sucked in not under the bottom near the exhaust where the table is very hot, but in the front part of the laptop, thanks to which cold air passes through all the insides.
And further. I am categorically against laptop stands, with the exception of my work Acer, but this manufacturer has always had (and probably will have) critical problems with overheating.
About sound problems. When I bought it, when I was testing the laptop, I noticed a clicking sound in the speakers (as some here write), I noticed the same problem on my old one Lenovo laptop After I played with the settings for people with disabilities (it was curious), it seems like Windows reads texts or something like that (it was a long time ago, I don’t remember). This was cured by returning to factory settings. Same thing with Asus - I tested it, loaded it as much as possible, and then did a recovery with formatting of both disks and everything became OK. The sound problem is gone.
And one more thing about sound. They say that the sound system is simply super and better than 90% of laptops, so, on my old Lenovo y510 (4-1 system built-in) the sound is such that some mid-level speakers do not reach it and the vaunted N76 speakers sound like nothing in comparison Chinese tweeters, even with a pseudo-subwoofer.
And now to the questions. I saw somewhere an overview of the BIOS and options for setting it up, but I can’t find it where. Maybe someone saw it?

Hello everyone. The problem is that I decided to reinstall Windows home basic to maximum on the new Z570 laptop. To begin with, I saved the drivers with Genius and copied the drivers and utilities from drive D. Then I deleted all partitions with Acronis, created C and D, installed Windows, and then a problem appeared - no sound. On the taskbar on the speaker icon there is a cross and it says " audio output device not installed." In the device manager in the sound devices there is only Intel(R) Audio for displays and the required Realtek HD Audio is not there. I installed the drivers saved by Genius and from disk D, then downloaded them from the official site, updated the BIOS - reinstalled Windows (and the originals and assembly) several times, changed the sequence of installing the firewood, but the problem was not solved in any way. The thought had already crept up sound card covered? I worked on my native Windows. Windows does not want to see the sound device troubleshooting report "check sound device- the element is missing" I don’t know what to do yet; I won’t be covered by the warranty. I’m already in another country (I work on a ship). I’ll be in Russia in maybe a month. If it’s not hardware, but software problems, can this be solved? Thank you!
The question has been moved to the topic Lenovo IdeaPad V570 and Z570 - Reviews and problem solving
Beginning
Guys, describe all the pros and cons of the Lenovo z500, otherwise I’m taking it for a long time and I don’t want to go hungry.
1. If you buy for games, under no circumstances take the version with 740m, look for the one with 640/645m
2. If you take an i7, then make sure that it is 8 threaded, and not 2 core with HT.
3. Try to avoid the Samsung matrix, which according to reviews is of poor quality.
4. It’s better to take the version with 6 or 8 GB of memory, maybe add another 4 GB to the existing 4 GB (for dual channel mode, or there will simply be a need to increase the volume) is difficult, you need to disassemble the floor of the laptop, + it is not clear what will happen to the warranty.
5. Braking HDD Seagate, almost always at 100% load, but it doesn’t heat up.
6. Another minus - drivers are available mainly for windows8.
I wanted to take the i7 2200MHz with 645m, but how can I see the matrix in the store in the device manager?
Now the leading technology for connecting to the Internet in popularity among users is Wi-Fi.
The overwhelming number of laptops and mobile gadgets are equipped with built-in modules wireless communication. Laptops from Lenovo were no exception.
Despite the fact that modern operating systems are capable of automatic mode establish normal functioning Wi-Fi module in a laptop, sometimes user intervention and independent installation of software are required for the module to operate.
Below is quick guide on how to activate the Wi-Fi adapter in Lenovo ideapad and install drivers.
Procedure for activating a Wi-Fi module
At the end of a Lenovo laptop there is sometimes a separate toggle switch or button that activates the wireless adapter. It is indicated by a characteristic wi-fi icon.
You should set it to the “On” position and the module will be activated immediately.
In addition to the switch, Lenovo laptops provide a functional button that turns on the adapter.
Most often, “F5” is used for this, but it can also be any of the series from “F1” to “F12” (it also has a Wi-Fi icon). To activate the module, just hold down the “Fn” key and click on “F5”.
You can also enable the module using Windows tools. To do this, you need to perform the following sequential steps:
How to install the driver?
If the “Wireless Network” icon is missing, it means there is no driver to ensure its normal operation.
You will need to follow the following steps:
This technique is very convenient, but it will only work if the laptop is connected to the World Wide Web, for example, via cable connection or via a USB modem from a cellular operator.
What to do when a problematic PC does not have Internet access?
You will need to download the driver using another computer or device that has access to the global network.
To do this, you need to visit the resource http://support.lenovo.com, where search bar indicate the brand Lenovo laptop and click Enter.
After that, from the list that appears, select the software whose name says “Wi-Fi” or “Wireless” and click “Download”. Next, save the downloaded driver to a flash drive and transfer it to the problematic laptop.
Copy the drivers saved to the USB flash drive to any free folder on your PC’s hard drive. Next, in the device manager, call context menu from the problematic equipment and install the software, indicating its location (the folder where the driver was copied).
Also, some versions of drivers can be installed as regular programs, that is, just unpack the archive with the downloaded software and run installation file, then follow the instructions of the installation wizard.
Laptops- a modern alternative to bulky home computers. Initially they were used only for work. If previously laptops had very modest parameters, now they can easily compete with powerful gaming PCs. For maximum performance and stable operation For all laptop components, it is necessary to install and update all drivers on time. In this article we will tell you where you can download and how to update drivers for the Lenovo G580 laptop.
If you are the owner of the above model, then you can find the drivers using one of the methods described below.
Method 1: Lenovo Official Website
Method 2: Automatic scan on Lenovo website
Installing Lenovo Service Bridge
Method 3: Driver update programs
This method will suit you in all cases when you need to install or update drivers for absolutely any device. In the case of the Lenovo G580 laptop, it is also appropriate. There are a number specialized programs, which scan your system for the necessary drivers. If they are missing or installed outdated version, the program will prompt you to install or update the software. There are now a huge number of relevant programs. We will not dwell on any specific one. You can choose the right one with the help of our lesson.
We still recommend using DriverPack Solution, since the program is regularly updated and has an impressive database of drivers for many devices. If you have any difficulties updating your software using this program, you should familiarize yourself with detailed lesson, which is devoted to the features of its use.
Method 4: Search by hardware ID
This method is the most intricate and complex. To use it, you need to know the ID number of the device for which you are looking for a driver. In order not to duplicate information, we recommend that you read the special lesson.
We hope that one of the above methods will help you install drivers for your laptop. Please note that the absence of unidentified hardware in Device Manager does not mean that drivers do not need to be installed. As a rule, when installing a system, standard software from the common Windows database is installed. Therefore, it is highly recommended to install all the drivers that are posted on the laptop manufacturer’s website.

Owners of Lenovo laptops, just like owners of laptops from other manufacturers, often encounter various problems related to Wi-Fi. For example, I often have to read comments that there is no wireless network connection on a Lenovo laptop, it is impossible to turn on Wi-Fi, the laptop does not see wireless networks, etc. Most often this is encountered after installation, or Windows reinstallation. And even more questions related to drivers wireless module. Therefore, in this article I will show in detail how to download a Wi-Fi driver for any Lenovo laptop, how to install it, and enable the wireless network. IN Windows settings, using a keyboard shortcut, or a separate switch (hardware). We will also consider the process of downloading and installing the Lenovo Energy Management and Lenovo Utility for Windows 10 utilities.
Of course, depending on the laptop model, there may be slight differences. I will try to make an article that will be useful to owners of the most popular (and not so popular) models: Lenovo IdeaPad 320, IdeaPad 100, IdeaPad 510, ThinkPad, etc. This also applies to the operating system installed on the laptop. Some install Windows 10, others install Windows 7, Windows 8, or even XP. Yes, there are some differences in setting up a wireless network. But as for the driver and its installation, everything is standard.
I want to give you a little advice right away. Install on your laptop the system recommended by the manufacturer. Or just before Windows installation go to the Lenovo website and see for which version of the operating system drivers are available for your laptop model. If, for example, there are no drivers for Windows 7 on the manufacturer’s website, then it is better not to install it. Otherwise, there may be problems not only with Wi-Fi, but also with other equipment.
I have a Lenovo IdeaPad 320-15IAP laptop running Windows 10. I will demonstrate everything using its example.
If you have come to this page, then most likely your Wi-Fi simply does not work on your Lenovo laptop. Therefore, first we will find out what the reason is. Let's check for the presence of a wireless module in Device Manager. If it is there, then we will try to turn on Wi-Fi. Let's check the settings. Perhaps this will solve your problem. If you don’t have an adapter, I’ll show you how to download it required driver and install it.
Check for the presence of a WLAN adapter and turn on Wi-Fi on the Lenovo laptop
WLAN is a wireless adapter (Wireless LAN). With its help, the laptop connects to wireless networks. It should be in Device Manager. And if it appears there as an unknown device (with yellow exclamation mark) , then you need to download and install the driver. And if it is installed, but the laptop does not see the network, or wireless connection disabled, then you need to enable it. Now we will find out.
Open Device Manager. You can press the combination Win keys+ R, copy command mmc devmgmt.msc and confirm execution by clicking Ok.
Immediately open the tab " Network adapters". If you have an adapter there, the name of which contains the words “WLAN”, “Wireless”, “Dual Band”, “802.11” - then this is a wireless adapter. And in theory, everything should work. If Wi-Fi does not work , then I will list the possible reasons below.
If there is an arrow icon next to it, you can try right-clicking on it and selecting “Enable”.
It is quite possible that you will not find a wireless adapter there. In this case, there should be an unknown device in the "Other devices" section (USB2.0 WLAN, Network Controller).
In this case, you need to download and install the driver for the Wireless LAN adapter. I will talk about this in detail below in the article.
But first let's find out what to do if the adapter is there and works fine. But I can't connect my Lenovo laptop to Wi-Fi networks, not displayed available networks (no connections available), no buttons and Wi-Fi settings etc.
I myself encountered such a problem on a Lenovo IdeaPad 320-15IAP laptop. The driver is installed, everything seems to be working, but Wi-Fi does not turn on. I described this in the article.
If you are facing a similar problem, then these tips are for you:
The Lenovo Energy Management utility is responsible for power management and other functions. Including the wireless adapter settings. Both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Just like Lenovo Utility for Windows 10. That is why installing these utilities often allows you to solve a variety of work problems Wi-Fi connections on Lenovo laptops.
Since the process of loading the driver and utility is practically no different, I decided to do general description search and download process.
How to download the Wi-Fi driver and utility from Lenovo?
The driver must be downloaded specifically for your laptop. Therefore, you need to know the laptop model. If you don’t know, look at the sticker on the bottom of the case.
As you can see, I have a Lenovo IdeaPad 320-15IAP.
In the search bar, write the model of your laptop only without “Lenovo”. And select our option from the list.
The page of our device will open. We are interested in downloads. There will be immediately offered " Top downloads"among which you can already find required driver, or utility. But if you click on "View all", it will open full list sorted by sections.
First of all, select operating system, which is installed on your laptop. If, for example, you have Windows 7 and it is not in the list, but only Windows 10 (or vice versa), then the manufacturer has not prepared drivers for this OS. You'll have to search for them manually. You can try to find it.
Also look at the 64-bit / 32-bit system bit depth.
Since we need a driver for the Wi-Fi module to work, we open the section " Network connections: wireless LAN". There will be "WLAN Driver (Intel, Realtek, Atheros)". Download it to your laptop.
After downloading, simply run the file downloaded from the official Lenovo website (in my case it's fjlw03af.exe) and follow the instructions.
Download Lenovo Energy Management Utility or Lenovo Utility for Windows 10
To download the utility, in the same way as I showed above, look for your laptop’s page on the website and open the section " Software and utilities."
In my case, I immediately access to download the "Lenovo Utility for Windows 10" utility.
And the Lenovo Energy Management utility can be found and downloaded in the "Power Management" section.
After downloading, you need to run the installation file and install the utility.
Since the driver download process and solutions different problems in this case is quite ambiguous, I suspect that there will be many questions. Leave them in the comments. There you can write about your results and share useful information.
