Y580 Driver Install Guide

I've reinstalled the OS a couple of times now for various reasons, but this method worked best for me. I took the Y570's guide and modified it to fit the Y580. See the end of this guide for general notes.

Here is my driver install guide:

I) Download the drivers for your Lenovo IdeaPad Y580 from Lenovo.com

01-Intel Wireless LAN Driver 0pwl06ww.exe 229 MB

02-Intel Chipset Driver 0pah07ww.exe 2.48 MB

03-Intel Rapid storage Technology 0pst04ww.exe 11.3 MB

04-Intel Management Engine Interface 0pme05ww.exe 45.5 MB

05-Intel Onboard Graphics Driver 0pvh07ww.exe 208 MB

06-Nvidia Display Driver 0pvl13ww.exe 443 MB

07-Intel USB 3.0 Driver 0pus05ww.exe 5.39 MB

08-Realtek Audio Driver 0pau08ww.exe 151 MB

09-Atheros LAN Driver 0pla03ww.exe 5.31 MB

10-Jmirco Card Reader Driver 0pcr02ww.exe 1.39 MB

11-Broadcom Bluetooth Driver 0pbl08ww.exe 297MB

12-TouchPad Driver (Cypress, Synaptics) 0pto14ww.exe 142MB

13-Camera Driver (Bison, Chicony, AzureWave) 0pca05ww.exe 34.5MB (This is a Zip File, unpack, then go to Device Manager, then manually update the Webcam Drivers by pointing to the 64-bit Drivers in the extracted folder)

14-Lenovo Energy Management cagt24ww.exe 21.2MB

15-OneKey Recovery 7.0 caot11ww.exe 278MB

Optional:

16-Lenovo EE Boot Optimizer v0.0.1.7 IN8STW15WW5.exe

17- Windows Hotfixes Hotfix qfxg01ww.exe 980KB Hotfix qfxf01ww.exe 859KB

18-Intel Disable ZPODD Register v2.0 IN1PCH43WW5.exe (turns off your DVD Drive when not in use to save power)

II) Install the drivers you just downloaded ONE BY ONE in the numbering order in which they are listed above! They are numbered that way for a reason! Please do not change that order if you want everything to work perfectly!

PLEASE RESTART YOUR COMPUTER AFTER EVERY DRIVER INSTALLATION, I know this may take longer, but if you want a perfect system, restart after every driver/utility installation, even though it doesn't prompt you to restart, don't take any shortcuts! RESTART ON YOUR OWN!

Final notes: Intel.com has updated WiFi drivers. Nvidia.com has updated 660M drivers. I had trouble with the on-board graphics driver, so I used Windows update for that one. I also had trouble with the 660M driver so I used the Nvidia.com beta driver IIRC 304.79. I had trouble with the WiFi driver as well so I used the Intel.com driver. Finally I had trouble with the Realtek audio driver, so I used the Realtek.com driver.

Either way I was very disappointed with Lenovo.com's drivers provided. So if they do not work just get them from the hardware's manufacturer's site.

3) After installing all the drivers and utilities, run Windows Update again and check if it finds any new updates

 

Was there one for the onekey theater?

 

I didn't install any One Key software, but throw them in at the end of everything if you want to install them.

 

Thanks for this post... I'm hoping to buy a mSATA in a future to use as my OS drive. I have a question though... I searched the Lenovo EE you posted and that's from the Y570. Is that one the EE3?

 

I just googled that and IIRC found one on Lenovo's site,it was for some random model, but it worked.

 

You could note in that guide that you can burn a copy of the drivers off of the driver/application partition (D: drive) onto a DVD before you wipe it out/swap the HDD and use those to reinstall.

I can't recall what order I installed everything in either but I sure wasn't fanatical about rebooting inbetween driver installs, as a matter of fact I'm pretty sure I clicked "Reboot Later" everytime there was an option and mine runs fine.

 

Hey Aonarch, I am getting ready to install Windows 7 pro on a new msata. I'm glad you put this step by step driver install up, thank you. However, There are some extra drivers that can be downloaded from the page. I was wondering if I should install these after the first 15. They are:

1) Bios Update 4.30MB
2) Intel Rapid Start Technology 2.00MB
3) Intel WiMax 90.30MB
4) Wireless LAN driver (which I also Downloaded the Atheros LAN driver, are these the same?)

Thank you

 

Hi, just curious but is Intel Turbo Boost supported by the y580? Is it a separate driver or is it already included in the list above?

 

Could someone help me? I reinstalled Windows with clean install on my Y580 few months ago. But until today I didn't noticed that I have no webcam in device manager. I tried to redownload the driver, opened it, but nothing happens. I also extracted the exe and tried to run the setup that was inside, but again, nothing. Please help :/

 

Nice guide.

I just wanted to add that u can check geforce site for newer official and beta drivers.

Also I wanted to mention that Lenovo released BIOS update in january
