There is no other tool that gives you a simple graphical interface to configure BIOS across the Think portfolio. Think BIOS Config Tool can even simplify the deployment of many devices with consistent configurations. It is offered at no cost.
This section provides introduction to a set of diagnostics and troubleshooting tools at Lenovo Support Web site, the Vantage app, and in your computer. They can help you diagnose common software and hardware issues.
If you are unsure of the problem with your computer, it is recommended that you select Easy and follow on-screen instructions to get your firmware updated and obtain the hardware status.
Hey thanks for the suggestions, and once we actually roll out SCCM, I will definitely apply them. For now, and forgive me for not mentioning that SCM is not here yet (in pilot right now). We do have MDT, and I did manage to come across something called Update Retriever, and Thin Installer that I will give a try. I am still open to any other suggestions for trying a process to a task sequence in MDT.
Wait, are you saying you went to the Lenovo site and found the sccm packages, then imported them into MDT? If so, that might be easier than setting up the Lenovo tools, because then I can just build the driver store and hierarchy in MDT, then import to the respective folder etc. I await your response, and if you say yes, unlike the what the Soup Nazi will say, there will be Soup for you lol.
I have a FlexPad, and the Active Pen 2 works fine everywhere but Illustrator. It draws inconsistenly, hover draws, and will erase line after I've drawn them. The pencil tool works fine with my mouse. I've installed and uninstalled and added every driver and update suggested, but nothing has fixed the problem.
Also, try resetting Illustrator's preferences by following the steps shared in this article ( -preference-issues.html) and sharing your observations.Disclaimer: Please note that resetting preferences will remove all custom settings, and Illustrator will launch with the defaults. You may take a backup of these settings from the location mentioned in the article. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Today while using my laptop unplugged, it has suddenly powered off. I did not pay attention to the battery bar at the time, but I'm pretty sure it was stuck at something around from the day before when I last used it. I plugged in my laptop but the battery seemed to be stuck at 0%. I did another reset and the battery was then at 100%. I wasn't sure what the battery was before the shut down so I went along with it. Later I continued to use my laptop unplugged and after around 2h noticed the battery to be still at 100%. The Lenovo Vantage showed my laptop as having over 4h of battery remaining; then I have restarted the laptop and it showed 50 minutes left.
Lenovo Vantage shows my battery as being in good condition etc., can read it's power and voltage. Another paradox is that it can simuiltaenously show the current state of the battery as "uncharged" and that it has 100%.
BTW when I go to Settings -> System -> Power and battery & look at the graphs showing battery state in the last 24h / 7 days it always counts my laptop screen as turned on during the night (?) I always turn my laptop off and unplug it at night, so why does it count as "screen on" and not screen off?
Hello, thank you for your feedback here, it seems that you are experiencing problems with Lenovo Notebook battery calibration and power reporting. Depending on the symptoms you describe, such as the battery status consistently showing 0% or 100%, and an abnormal battery usage chart, there could be several reasons for the problem.
If there is an update, follow the instructions provided on the official website to update the BIOS. Updating the BIOS often improves system stability and hardware compatibility, including battery management.
Run the Lenovo Diagnostic tool (installed through Lenovo Vantage, or downloaded separately) to check the battery for
