wonder how to attract those y500 and future y400 owner to come here?
since pretty sure most of spammer here come from y480/580 thread

Hi, my brother just bought the Y580 at the PC fair just now, and after we installed most of the updates only we noticed something wrong.

The USB 2.0 port at the right side doesn't work. It doesn't detect anything plugged in, mouse or flash drive, but when plug in a external hard drive, it powers up the ext hard drive.

Anybody kena this problem before ah? I trying to see if got driver can help or not =.=.
Btw, the screen damn nice. And i'm using it to type this, not bad the feeling and layout. Later only test games.

Forgotten to check that USB port >.<

Now I plug in my samsung phone, it charges, but doesn't detect it in My Computer >.<

Thanks, I'll try that now.

*Didn't work T.T Tmr time to go back there and find them.

Just want to ask, can you guys post the device manager USB devices part? i wan see if mine missing something.

I hope i can fix the prob myself, so mafan to go through the crowd again =.=

why not dell ips   
well, currently my y580 is attached to my LG 22" FHD TV (shares with my Wii U) using VGA... i tried connect HDMI cable that i get with my WiiU, but sometimes my tv couldn't detect it and displays invalid format on the tv
any idea why? 

yours is exactly like mine (y480, free dos, i installed my own win7 ult. ver.), but all my usb ports are working well.

sss2sssss: r u sure there's a problem there?

would like to get advice from you guys. i was thinking of upgrading to windows 8. however i have reservations since i'm worried of software compatibility.

so far is everything ok compatibility wise?

Hey guys,

My Y580 is running slower when not charging.
Like when im not charging the game will feel more laggy than when i'm charging. Anyone having this problem ?

Windows 8 .

I think the lenovo battery saver is the cause.

any advise ?

Thanks

Im on balanced mode on Energy Management and also balanced on the normal battery bar.
Need to do it manually every time when i'm gaming ?

   

Because DVD can't really produce FHD. Blu Ray on the other hand can, so even our Y series is FHD, can't get the best out of it. 

Guys, I am getting nvidia display not found on this laptop after playing 3d fps games. Until now I cannot seem to get the nvidia display to work. Already installed and reinstalled drivers. Anyone having the same problem?

nope, using the original installed driver. The device manager shows the display card but with error CODE 43.

So, I went and changed a new one, and now trying it out.
The temps are always around 50 to 60, is that normal? and how do I know the temp of the GTX 660?
This replacement unit has artifacts T.T Only when playing games will see it flashing the whole screen >.<

don't forget me to guys

btw no one else upgraded to windows 8?

how is the respond of windows 8?

I don't think so Win8 will enhance the screen colour

I thought 550M SLI has better performance than 560m, right? And Y500 body is mostly metal instead of plastic. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I check the review. Those heavy games can run under ultra setting. ( like battlefield 3, crysis ). For those Y580 users, I wanna ask, is it really playable when the fps is around 30+? Cause I personally do feel the screen is a bit jerky when the fps is 30+ compare with fps 40+
