4 partition is ady max partition u can make...
And actually u can redownload the driver ur self if u want and reformat urself, the OEM partition will recreate after u reformat it
*
So the partition labeled "Lenovo" is safe to remove?
the one click restore still can work after that?

Dear all users of y480/y580,

I have bought Y480. wifi (wireless) connection very slow and the line keep on drop.

there is 3 network adapters:
Atheros AR8161/.......Ethernet controller
Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter
Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adaptert

2 of them (Atheros LAN and Miniport) are disconnected status and Broadcom is connected.

my question here is:
1. should i Disable Miniport adapter? will this impact my slow connection?
2. when setup wireless connection, we MUST put the network location (home/public/business)?

1st time using win7 too.
hope u guys can help me on this.....................

Many thanks!!!

already uninstalled any anti virus software. now the laptop is without anti virus software. lolx

When look at properties under the SSID i connected, there is a "Enable WLAN", this 1, need to check it?

thanks!

if let say network adapter rosak, is it:
1. buy a new network card to replace it
2. buy a USB wifi cable

both also can be a solution right?
or there has other ways as well..
*
another cheaper method is to use USB wifi adapter, since this models comes with 4 USB slot. just plug it at the USB2.0 slots

now at office, not able to check it.

will update here to9.

thanks for you all help..

feel tired with this kind of thing.  doh.gif

(1st guy tell me this: As per our database your system is shipped with Liteon Wireless card. We do not recommend you to go with Broadcom driver if your system is shipped with Liteon Wireless Card.Broadcom driver will not work in Liteon hardware. You need to install Lition driver to make your Wireless card work.)

ok..after chat with 2nd guy of lenovo support, he tell me this:
"We would like to share with you that system is shipped with broadcom wireless adapter. Yes the both the adapter are same. Please find the details on wireless adapter at your system Liteon WB195 BGN+BT HMC WLAN."
means Broadcom = Liteon. =.=

different guy tell me different thing.  doh.gif

mine (Y480) is Atheros

Hello guys, been researching in a new laptop to buy and it seems that the ideapad is good bang for the buck. Just a few questions after reading this forum.

1. It seems like there's this WiFi signal problem a few pages back. Is this problem solved yet?
2. The temperature also seems to rise very fast due to the location of HDD between CPU and GPU.  I have the habit of gaming for a whole day, sometimes even more than 12 hours. Will it be able to stand my needs? Or will it overheat easily.

Oh and the model I'm planning to get is y580. The rm2999 version. Thanks for ur help smile.gif

this just remind me of the unpleasant experience in LYP

some seller so despo for sales that they can lie to me in my face. telling me things such as GT640M LE is better than GT650M, Y480 only got i5 CPU, no free headset (if wan topup $$), Y480 is replaced by Y580 and so on

to those of them who might be reading this : sorry but u just lose a customer. i will never buy anything from your shop again and will advise my fren the same thing, just like thundermatch
