Go figure...this morning, after putting my thread on here, the status on Lenovo's site changed and my W510 should be here tomorrow.

I am not sure but those 2 lines at the start of your DSDT don't look right to me - try redumping your DSDT again. I think it is safe to delete those lines - they start right before at what seems to be the real file header (comment block). I did that and tried to recompile and then a lot more errors appeared (which is quite normal in that field of "sloppy" coding) but those errors look a lot more meaningfull. I will take a better look at it and try to fix some of the errors.

For the first warnings you can simply add "Return (Zero)".

dsdt.dsl 6640: Acquire (MUTE, 0x03E8)
Warning 1104 - ^ Possible operator timeout is ignored

Probably means the waiting time might not be long enough - just change it to "Acquire (MUTE, 0xFFFF)". To be honest I doubt those warnings are causing that much trouble at all. I rather think there is something else wrong. It is hard to tell without knowing your notebook and what you are trying to achieve...

Now for the legal stuff - I am not an expert in that field and can't predict what side effects may happen by altering that file and using it afterwards.

 

Yes I have this problem. Also, if I shut down my laptop, take out the battery (leaving only AC power plugged in) and then start the machine up again, I get the same problem. I use CPU-Z and the Intel CPU Identification Utility to check CPU clock rate. Looks like Intel speed step is not working on my machine no matter what combo of power options and bios settings I use. I am continuing to troubleshoot and may send the laptop in for repair...

 

This sucks. After waiting all this time to receive my laptop, it comes yesterday, and immediately upon turning it on there is a blaring read dead/stuck pixel in the lower center of the screen. Now I'm waiting for Lenovo to send me a box next Tuesday to send it in for a repacement screen. I just hope their turnaround is fast as I'm in the military and moving/deploying in early/mid June.

Edit: It looks like I will have to call back Monday to add another defect. It appears as if the Bluetooth module was never installed. The software is there, although it doesn't load at startup. When I go in device manager to look for the Bluetooth module it is nowhere to be found.

I thought Lenovo might have better quality control than HP did...right now I'm not a satisfied consumer.

 

the fact that you are army boy doesent make you superior to any other person who bought "consumer laptop" it aint got balaclava inside the box does it? , but I feel for you about sie pixel as i had problem which also req to send it for replacement.

 

He did not imply that it made him superior.

Anyway, I hope Lenovo gets FHD screens back in stock sometime this century. I've been waiting since January .

 

I got tired of waiting for FHD screens. I don't know if they are ever going to get them. I ordered and just received an HP Elitebook 8540w with a FHD display. Even has a "pointing stick" similar to the Thinkpads. Great machine. Love it.

I've had numerous thinkpads both personally and when working for IBM and like the styling and reliability a lot but it is just irresponsible for Lenovo to run out of stock of displays and remain out of stock for months. What happens if you have an FHD and it goes bad? Do you wait months for your machine to be fixed? I think Lenovo has some serious problems.

 

Thanks. I didn't think I said anything "harsh" either, insinuating that I wanted better treatment than anyone else. I was just being very hopeful that Lenovo's repair times are good.

For anyone who has had to have an HD+ display replaced, how long did it take you from the time you mailed it to the time you got it back?

 

ok Im not sure about what happens in americas , but here in UK they replaced my FHD in 5 days! with a perfect screen no leaks no bad pixels nothing, no pink tints.
