Lenovo IdeaPad Y410P Owners and Information thread

i want dual boot my y410p with win8.1 and 7 do i need to disable UEFI

 

(i want dual boot my y410p with win8.1 and 7 do i need to disable UEFI) accidentally double posted SORRY..

 

Hmm, seems there are issues with 8.1 and the synaptics pad.

Am using the ELAN one myself so i can't really comment.

 

Yeah, you need to disable UEFI and secure boot.

But i would just go pure W7 if i were you.

 

Why can't I boot from the SSD directly? Do I have to put it in the internal bay?

3) Where is the SSD located if it came with the laptop?

 

What SSD are you referring to? The 24GB M.2 or one you install yourself?

 

Hi sj123, may I ask which model type you purchased? Did you purchase the IdeaPad Y410p Laptop - 59399853?

 

The one I install myself

 

Yeah, i'd locate that to the main bay, where it is both secured and bootable.

 

Okay , so i did some reseach, and the only other computer i've found to use the GT 755M is...

The iMac!

 

I got the same battery and purchased this model # 59392571

 

For the 72W/H battery, would you be able to verify the part number? I tried the number in the pictures, and nothing comes up.

The Hardware Maintenance manual lists 5 available batteries, but the Lenovo Website does not even list the 410P in the battery finder.

20 Battery, Yx0 LG L12L6E01 11.1V62Wh 6cellbty 121500126 *
20 Battery, Yx0 SY L12S6E01 10.8V62Wh 6cellbty 121500127 *

20 Battery, Y490 Sanyo L11S6R01 10.8V72Wh 6cellbty 121500070

There is a link here to the same part number listed in the manual, but I would rather buy it from Lenovo

Lenovo L11S6R01 121500070 laptop battery

 

My battery barcode says 11S121500070Z00039P65B

So it looks like the last one you posted

 

I ordered the 59399853, its still in processing. I will see what kind of battery i will get.

 

Hi guys,
I just bought my 410p (ssd version). I just wanted to know what programs you guys would recommend for defragmenting my laptop. Is Defraggler good?. Also, is CCleaner as good as everyone says it is? Does it speed up a computer significantly?

Thanks

 

Jobine,

Could you explain:

3)Drain/Charge the battery to 60%, then Optimized battery health, thus it wont charge over 60%, essentially minimizing battery wear

 

Okay, so the way that Lithium-Ion batteries work, is that it is generally bad to keep them plugged at 100% at all times, because otherwise it will wear out the battery faster. Thus, there is an included program called Lenovo Energy Management, which when set to the "optimized battery health" setting, will not charge the laptop past 60%, even when the laptop is unplugged. Thus, your battery will wear out less over time.

 

So I just got my y410p 59392484 Today.
First thing I did was
-Removed the HDD and installed it onto the DVD bary (removed DVD drive also)
-Installed SSD drive internally
-back up the Lenovo Drive (with the drivers) and installed windows 7 (no more windows 8)

And now I'm reinstalling drivers that are not automatically picked up by windows
One of the issues I ran into was not being able to install the touchpad drivers. As shown below from the screenshot

I can use the touchpad but on some websites when I want to scroll down I can slide my finger along the right edge of the touch pad to scroll the window down.

So when I tried to install the drivers I got the above message. Any ideas?
Also what does Fn+F9 do? And what drivers do I need to install to get that Fn working again?

 

None of these battery numbers come up when searching Lenovo.com


L11S6R01
121500070
11S121500070Z00039P65B

Neither the Y410P or Y490 are listed in the Lenovo battery finder.

What the hell is the Lenovo part number for the Sanyo 72w/h battery?

I believe Jobine had a pointer to a battery in this thread in the past, but I think that was a 58 amp hour battery, and not a 72w/h.

 

You using 32 or 64 bit windows?

To get Fn keys to work you need to install Lenovo energy management.

 

Maybe you have the Elan touchpad, not the Synaptics one.

 

I just verified the OC19901 battery part number is for the 62wh version, and not the 72wh version:


milliamper-hour to watt-hour calculation

The energy E(Wh) in watt-hours is equal to the electric charge Q(mAh) in milliampere-hour times the voltage V(V) in volts (V) divided by 1000:

E(Wh) = Q(mAh) × V(V) / 1000

So watt-hour is equal to milliamp-hour times volts divided by 1000:

watt-hours = milliampere-hours × volts / 1000

or

Wh = mAh × V / 1000

Example

Find the energy in watt-hours when the electric charge is 300 milliampere-hour and the voltage is 5 volts.

The energy E is equal to 300 milliamp-hour times 5 volts divided by 1000:

E = 300mAh × 5V / 1000 = 1.5Wh

so 58 x 10.8 / 1000 = 62Wh.

Still trying to find the Lenovo part number for the 72wh battery.

 

I'm using windows 7 64bit

 

Try this driver:

yea it never showed to make a difference when I turned off Dolby and Onekey =\
It's interesting cause I never notice it with any other sounds but frequencies caused by piano music. Not a big deal though. Did you only have the crackly sound coming out of right speaker?

 

What do you guys think of the temps i've attached? It seems like they aren't as high as they were. This is after ~1 hour of BF4 with the GPU at +135 core/+209 memory. Also is there a way to overclock the GPU before the game starts? If I don't wait until BF4 starts up, Afterburner doesn't recognize my clocks right.

 

The reason why afterburner seems to go haywire is because it doesn't play well with optimus. Disable optimus in the 3D settings (High performanc Nvidia gpu) to ensure best Nvidia compatiblity.

Your RL name is similar to mine (but not the same).

 

No, i only get crackles if i use Dolby V4 and i fuzzle the audio too much.

 

Found this review:

Review - Lenovo IdeaPad Y410p

Dec 11 2013 - Lenovo's IdeaPad Y410p takes much of the same design elements from the past Y400/Y500 laptops and instead focuses in on upgrading the internals. It features an aluminum deck and lid that offer it a nice premium quality feel while also given it resistance to scratching and smudges. This is a traditional class of laptop so it is much thicker than most new laptops at 1.3-inches thick and a hefty 5.5 pounds weight which seems a bit heavy for a 14-inch laptop.

Powering the Lenovo IdeaPad Y410p is the Intel Core i7-4700MQ quad core processor. This is the latest Haswell based processor that offers a greater level of efficiency and a minor performance boost over the previous Ivy Bridge based processors. It should provide more than enough performance for those looking to do some serious computing work such as desktop video work or gaming. Lenovo matches up the processor with 8GB of DDR3 memory that should provide it with a smooth overall experience with Windows and its programs.

For the configuration that I'm looking at, Lenovo has decided to included both a traditional hard drive and a small solid state drive. The one terabyte hard drive provides the system with a large amount of storage space for applications, data and media files. Meanwhile, the 24GB solid state drive is used as a cache for the hard drive to improve the boot and loading speed of frequently used programs. Boot times are improved at roughly fifteen seconds but still not as quick as a dedicated solid state drive. If you do need to add more storage to the system, there is a single USB 3.0 port on the front left hand side of the system. This is a bit disappointing as most systems are featuring two to three of the ports now. There is still a dual layer DVD burner for playback and recording of CD or DVD media that is built into a swappable bay. Those that don't need the drive can opt to purchase optional storage or even secondary graphics processor units.

The display for the IdeaPad Y410P is a bit smaller at 14-inches compared to most other traditional laptops that opt for the larger 15.6-inch display. While this makes the system smaller, Lenovo has also elected to use a lower resolution 1600x900 panel. This means it does not have as much detail as the larger IdeaPad Y510p and will likely be the deciding factor between which of the two models your will want to purchase. Overall it is a very nice panel that offers very good color and contrast not to mention a high level of brightness which is useful for situations where they may be a lot of glare. Powering the graphics is an NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M graphics processor. This is a good mid-range graphics processor and works nicely with the display panel resolution. It can run many games at the full native resolution of the display bit some will need to have detail levels turned down to keep up smooth frame rates.

Lenovo uses the same keyboard design that they have used on the previous IdeaPad Y series laptops. It features an isolated layout design that features a red backlight. The only downside here is that the smaller size means that there is no numeric keypad and some of the right hand keys have been reduced in size. Overall, it has a very nice feel thanks to the sturdy deck and concave keys that should help it be very accurate and comfortable to use. The trackpad is a nice large size that worked well with both single and multitouch gestures.

For the battery, Lenovo has elected to use a standard 48WHr battery that has been typical of most traditional laptops in this size range for some time. Lenovo claims that this can ran up to five hours but does not specify under what conditions. In video playback testing, the laptop was able to run for three and three quarter hours before going into standby mode. Of course if the system is going to be used for demanding tasks like gaming, it will certainly have a much shorter running time. Sadly, this puts the battery life of the IdeaPad Y410p behind many other laptops even others designed specifically for gaming. It certainly is a far cry from the over eight hours that the Apple MacBook Pro 15 with Retina Display is able to achieve with its battery that is twice the capacity rating.

List pricing for the IdeaPad Y410p as configured is $1299 but it often can be found for around $1000 with special offers. This makes it more affordable than many of its competitors. For 14-inch laptops, the primary competitor is the Alienware 14. Much of the base features such as the processor and graphics means are the same so they have roughly the same level of performance. The Alienware gets a bit more graphics from a higher resolution display and longer running times for a larger battery. On the other hand, the Lenovo is a bit smaller and lighter and also features larger storage capacity.

Everything in bold is incorrect. Corrections:
- Laptop weight is 5.1 pounds, 5.5 with SLI ultrabay (not included)
- New models are equipped with larger 72w/h battery, giving 5-6 hour runtime.
- DDR3L memory
- This is an 800$ laptop
- Y410p's 72w/h battery is larger than the Alienware's 69w/h

 

After fiddling with my laptop for a bit since I too have the weird crackly sound (only at certain piano tones), I determined that both of my speakers have it, though the right one seems to be a bit worse. I assume it has something to do with drivers, since I don't remember having it with previous realtek drivers. I would roll back to the lenovo drivers, but the newer generic realtek drivers give much better bass+sound apart from the crackling issue (which like you said, isn't that big of a deal).

If you're thinking of updating to the newer drivers though, keep in mind that my dolby v4 theater got replaced with dolby digital plus (No idea how it happened) and doesn't have the equalizer or any options.

 

Huh... so I guess it most likely isn't the speaker then. I'll try rolling back and comparing the two with which I like more. Thanks for the info!

 

Not sure if it'll actually fix any of your problems, but Razer Surround is currently free on their website until the end of december. It's an alternative to try at least

 

I tried razer surround before, its not bad, but the volume is significantly lower. Just something to take in mind before you install it.

 

It's louder than Dolby off and quieter than Dolby on, but you can switch Razer Surround on and off at any time. I've got Realtek audio driver, Dolby Home Theater v4, and Razer Surround all installed and working together with no issues.

 

Ok I'm back. I would like to know how much Hz the screen is. And if I could replace the 1TB HDD with an SSD.

 

60 Hz. Yes.

 

Thanks, and how would I go about replacing the HDD? I'm probably gonna have to get another Windows 8 right? And reinstall drivers.... Ahhhhhh God the pain....

 

You just open up the bottom panel to access all the hardware in the laptop, and you will see the HDD (a 2.5" silver rectangle). Unscrew it, place the SSD in. Use a cloning or migrating software to move everything over to avoid reinstalling OS and programs. My Samsung SSD came with cloning software so it was really simple for me. However, you could look into making a Windows 8 USB boot drive for a clean installation if you don't want to clone/migrate.

 

long time not see guys ...

wow ... i miss soo many pages after absent for 2 months LOL :3

so now the Topic is "Speaker" ? how about the Graphic Ultrabay ?

 

I got that EXACT same problem on the EXACT same speaker. I loved the sound, but now some songs (maybe ~20%) are impossible to listen to. I think it does it on the higher frequency tones only, but I am no expert. I wonder if warranty will cover this ?

 

Can someone link me such a song so i can see if it works on my own hardware?

Please and thank you.

 

This one's probably the most obvious on my speakers: Oltremare

 

Sounds fine on my Y410P, with and without Dolby V4 running.

 

Zero popping whatsoever.

 

Might just be a driver issue then since I'm not using the "lenovo certified" ones. It happens around 0:38 for me when my volume is somewhat high.

 

Hello everyone

Someone tell me the best way to return my laptop?

Everytime I call, they never answer

Thank

 

Use the online chat service.

 

When I check the tech support option, it show a message "please call lenovo".

I will try

Edit : can you tell your bios version?

 

1.07, aka the very first edition of the Y410p

 

can you tell me how to run the Dolby V4 ?
