Fri, 15 Oct 2021 01:20:34 -0700

I switched turned the switch to “off,” which promptly turned my wifi/bluetooth off. However, when I push the switch to “on,” my wifi/bluetooth isn’t turning back on. How do I fix this?

Image shows the switch in the “on” position.

Lenovo X200: Ethernet not detecting network

Hi,

Swapped my HDD for an SSD and installed a fresh copy of Win 10.

Naturally I had some driver issues, but try as I might, My LAN connection will state “Unidentified Network” and will not connect to the internet.

Wifi is working well and connects to the internet.

Tried the driver on: https://support.lenovo.com/il/en/downloa...

Adapter is detected as “Intel 82567LM Gigabit Network”

Laptop full model is: 7454-2HU

Thanks in advance

Lenovo X200: X200s - stuck in Intel(R) Boot Agent) - caused by loose battery?

Thu, 27 Dec 2018 04:19:55 -0700

Hi,

My beloved Thinkpad X200S seemed to give up yesterday.

At first it was unable to boot the Linux OS running on a brand new SSD. I could enter the BIOS, but beyond that I got stuck in a blank screen. The fan was turning, lights were on, there was no error messages or beeps.

I tried removing the two 2GB RAM sticks one at a time, also swapping places. I tried resetting the BIOS to default in the menu. I tried unplugging and replugging the CMOS. I tried booting from my old HDD. I discharged the battery several times, also tried an old original battery. I tried waiting 30+ minutes for it to boot. None of this changed the outcome. Still stuck in a blank screen unable to acces grub or OS. Trying to boot from several different live USBs gave the same results.

Now I cannot even acces the BIOS, in stead I am presented with the Intel(R) Boot Agent. When I try to move on by hitting the 'save and exit' (F4 i my case), I get back to the blank screen, but this time with a single beep. According to Lenovo support pages, this would indicate a problem with the LDC connection or the systemboard.

I suspect that the problem is in the harware and that I might have done things worse by trying to fix it on my own.

Any ideas from you experienced people? Would you try other things or just give up this old machine?

EDIT:

The battery has been loose the last two months because the lock pins stopped functioning. The battery did slide out a couple of times while the laptop was running leading to sudden shutdowns. What damages could this lead to on hardware?

I have tried searching this topic but didn't find anything. Help is highly appreciated if anyone would be so kind as to point me in the right direction.
