what do i need to say in the emaiL? and have to send a copy of the receipt? o.O

just said that you only get 1 year warrant... attach the screenshot showing the 1 year warranty from the website... probabky it would also be better if you send also the receipt copy

HELP! The LCD brightness control is NOT accurate. It is too bright.

At first, I feel fine with only 5 bars. (You will see the bar when press FN + Up/Down Arrow)

Then reduced to 4 bars

And now 1 bar also very bright!!!

Is there a way to recalibrate the brightness? Or must send back for service?

Urs one is Y480 or Y580?
At my driver disc there got one brightness control registry....
Or u adjust at power plan there?

sometimes the brightness bar that displays when u adjust is wrong.... just reduce/increase the brightness to min/max then adjust so that the brightness bar is right

if cant help. reinstall graphic cards software n try again.

Now ordered Y480 keyboard protector and i rocks kr-6260 keyboard from TaoBao, hope the seller don't mess up my things....

Yes, this temporarily fixed the issue.

Seems like the Brightness Control has a much wider dynamic range than the actual LCD back light can handle.

When I turn to Max, then Min again, the backlight is so dim that it can't stays on consistently, and started to flicker.

When I turn to Min, then Max again, the backlight is too brigh

Can only adjust no less than 4 bars to the minimum and maximum.

Hope lenovo can fix this problem.

if reinstall software can't solve the problem then it's better to send back for warranty

Lenovo Y580
I have tried this, reformat and did a clean install, a total disaster I must say...

The official Lenovo drivers in their website are totally hopeless, the fundamental drivers all have problems:-
1) Wifi Proset Drivers
2) Intel onboard drivers
3) USB 3.0 drivers
4) Realtek drivers
5) Nvidia drivers
6) Bluetooth drivers

So, my advice is please go to the official manufacturer website to obtain your drivers if you want to have a clean install.

Despite this, my usb 3.0 and wifi still have problem. CB, Lenovo!!!

Anyone have the same problem with me?

Anyone bought this laptop came with a CD for drivers?

most pre-loaded laptop with windows nowadays didn't come with driver and windows disk anymore. they just put the important stuff into the backup partition....
sorry cannot help you much since never bother to clean install this machine because for me, it ain't full of crap when i buy it

for wifi ,you download the (Liteon) driver from lenovo site...then install
if encounter "errors" then u restart the laptop and manually click into the extracted driver folder
there will be 2 folders of different manufacturer. just install the driver according to the manufacturer.

It works when i accidentally deleted my WIFI driver (windows can't detect the hardware in device manager)

Hi bro, can you please upload the driver files for me?

I have deleted the partition since I expect the drivers in the lenovo website will be newer than the ones on the partition.

Right now, I cant even connect my WiFi. Can only connect using my hp

Appreciate if you could upload to dropbox if possible the following drivers:-

1) Intel Proset Wireless driver
2) USB 3.0 driver
3) Atheros Ethernet driver
4) Camera driver
5) Bluetooth driver

Really appreciate your help here. Thanks.

I tot for wifi, the manufacturer is Intel, how come is Liteon?

Nope, actually our driver is Athros but it's name as Liteon....
Only some china version or US version come with Intel one
