    An X200 t(ablet) is a ThinkPad; a Y450 is an ideaPad.

    What type of problem are you having? Your serial number is printed on a sticker on the bottom of your ThinkPad. It will say something like:

    Type: NNNN-XXX S/N: L3-XXXXX YY/MM
    with a bar code beneath it

    Type tells you what model of ThinkPad you have.

    S/N is your ThinkPad's serial number.

    YY/MM is the year and month of manufacture.

    Does that help?

    Are you talking about machine type...?

    For my x200 it is 7454CTO (CTO meaning configure to order since I bought it from lenovo.com).

    It should say all that on the back of your laptop.

    no, I just want a way to download drivers for the laptop windows 7 64 bit.

    it is asking for seriel and that is not working.

    manually finding the product is a huge list of computers i dont recognize.

    aadggghhhh...

    Will the screen not rotate at all, or does the bezel button not work, or are you simply referring to active rotate? Because there are three different drivers/applications at play for those features.

    "Will the screen not rotate at all, or does the bezel button not work, or are you simply referring to active rotate?"

    hi, actually none of it works. active rotation means rotate when i close the lid and lock in right?

    that would be nice.

    thanks where do i find these drivers i did the thinkvantage 4 program thingie to get all drivers installed for win 7 64 bit

    was that not included?
