SOURCE: specs say the Lenovo G560 067999U has max memory

According to the manufacturer's system specifications, the Lenovo G560 067999U uses Integrated Intel Graphics HM55 shared memory. This means that the graphics card would use a portion of your 8 GB RAM for video memory use. Check the system BIOS settings to see how much RAM is allocated to your video.

SOURCE: want to change compability to AHCI mode in lenovo z570 ideapad

This is a setting in you BIOS. Try changing to AUTO under the SATA drive settings by pressing F key during boot. It will be noted on screen during startup.

I would stay away from a OS upgrade till your are certain all hardware and software is compatible. It is a lot of work if it does not work properly.

SOURCE: PRINTER TO LAPTOP

First download and install the correct software for the Printer on the laptop, you didn't post the HP printer model. In the install of the software follow the on-screen instructions. OR plug in the Printer using a USB printer cable, the Win 8 software should try to apply the driver, if available, but you may not have ALL the printer functions until you install the correct HP Printer software.

How to go to Bios in Ideapad Z500

Usually one of the F keys will get you into the bios. Try F8, F10 or F12. Reboot the computer soon as it starts booting up keep tapping on the F8 key if its the right one the bios screen will appear, if its not it will just boot up in windows. Shut it down and try it again using the F10 key, etc, until you get the bios screen to come up.

Lenovo ideapad z500 hardisk partitioning and resize without losing okr

You can use partition softwares to partition the drive.
eg: Minitool Partition Wizard Home Edition(its free)

Partition WizardWindows PC and Server Disk Partition Management Software

Or,if you have the original Win 8 cd and product key,you can re-install Win 8 and during the process partition the hard disk. But doing this may result in losing all your data.

Lenovo Z500 battery

I did not work for me in the beginning because Z500 didn't know it had a battery.

1. First do a clean install of Windows 7.
2. Install all the drivers only for Lenovo site and respect the restarts. Install Lenovo Energy Management last. Go to Lenovo Energy Management and set it for full Performance.
3. The indicator in the animation should be far right not center.
4. Go to Advanced Power Settings in Control Panel -> Lenovo Energy Management and hit ENABLE
5. Now you restart and you should be able to do the firmware update

6. If you cannot do the firmware update then uninstall LEM, remove ACPI from Device Manager, Reinstall LEM, Enable again.
7. If you cannot do the firmware update then try battery gauge reset in Safe Mode and remove ACPI after, and then Reinstall LEM, Enable.

My lenovo z500 has a screen brightness issue. It very dim and it won't turn up no matter what I do?

Hi, I had this problem also and I don't know why, but Lenovo Ideapad Z500 seems to have some compatibilities issues with a new Intel video card.
So, what you need to do is rolling back the HD intel video card driver to the previous version OR go to the following path: D:\drivers\VGA\Intel\x64\9.17.10 and press Setup to install the old driver again.
That solved my problem. It's a shame that I can't upload this driver in my laptop.

Bought a Lenovo G585 and just wondering when it is booted up why there is not a normal desk top look with icons, etc. Seems tough to navigate around, get to internet, etc. Just want it to go to the

I assume it is running Windows 8?
Try upgrading to Windows 8.1, which is free. This may help a little. Or you could get Windows 7 or 10 installed which are much better anyway.

My computer, a lenovo y510 laptop malfunctioned. After inserting the recovery, and attempting to boot from the disk, the screen simply goes blank instead of opening the normal vista install center.

Hi lightning_ha,

Based on your situation, I suggest trying the following steps:

1. Turn on the system then insert the recovery disk inside the ODD.

2. Now turn off the computer while recovery disk is inside.

3. Turn on the computer, the moment you press the power button, immediately tap the F12 key and press it continuously.

4. Now you have the boot option. Select CD/DVD/ODD by pressing enter then continuously tap it until you see the Windows is loading a file.

5. Wait until it goes 100%.

6. Now it will ask you on what partition you will put the operating system. Just select the partition that has a large capacity or size.

7. Just wait until it completes the whole installation.

8. Restart the computer.

Hope it helps,

Thank you for using FixYa.
