should i charge the battery to full first before first use?
or just plug in the a/c adapter and start using it right away?
any useless thinkvantage programs i should delete?
-
You can just plug in the AC and go for it.
I'd do a clean install of XP or Vista... but if you like the factory image with its bloatware, uninstall at will. -
BTW, what panel did you get? LG or Samsung LCD?
-
how do i check the panel?
i'll prob check later havnt opened the box yet
the guide for doing a clean install looks too difficult for a computer retarded person like me and i dont really want to risk screwing up -
theres no need to open up your machine. just tell us how does it look? all you need is your system's serial number and type. you can get both these details from the lenovo status page. see this thread for more info: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=297359

I get "Information for parts lookup was not found. Please click the browser back button and try again." when i enter the numbers.
got the exact same thing -
how do i lower the the brightness?!!! manual doesnt say anything! also how do i control the cpu settings and stuff?
-
"Fn" (bottom left) + "Home" or "End" keys (top right)
Power settings can be configured if you double click on the battery bar.
Enjoy -
thanks alot!
-
is there any way i can customize the comptuer usage percentage? like for example on my old acer i was about to choose if i wanted to run my cpu on "max" "high" "medium" or "low" settings is that just the battery settings?
-
I'm assuming you want to conserve power/lower operating temperature. Go into the battery settings and change "System Settings." Lenovo's power manager allows you to set different maximum CPU speeds for batter/ac (and also for different power profiles).
-
where is this "battery settings"?
-
Same place as before. Double click on the batter gauge.
-
oh thanks alot. the manual really doesnt say. also for some reason when i restart....every so often my screen turns black and there's lines all over it and nothing loads.....this could be a problem happened to me twice already. it happens right after i scan my fingerprint
where do i go to make recovery discs? -
help please? i cant find it in the manual
also how safe is doing a factory reset? it's the "recovery thing" at the beginning of the boot right? because so far after i installed zone alarm 2009 none of my programs have been functioning properly and ZA is blocking my wireless half the time.
i really want to create recovery discs before tying to do the factory reset just in case
thanks in adaved -
There's a thread on it, try looking for it.
But in a nutshell:
Go to "start" --> "Computer" --> double click on "Lenovo Q:"
Then click "Create Recovery Media" and follow the directions.
You'll need 3 DVDs or you can use 1 CD + 2 DVDs. Either way 3 disks will be created.
