My second time my left speaker blew... i don't know what's wrong. Now same goes to my right speaker.. Both now producing scratching noise when high pitch.. Anyone has similar problem?

I sent for replacement already and it's still under warranty..but i want to know is anyone else having similar problem like me? FYI, i never put the loudness to the max even when watching movies..

Very dissapointed. sad.gif

Anybody can help me here? I'm having a weak signal with my laptop.

user posted image

As you can see from the image above, both laptop are located side by side. And my wife's lapotp is having better signal than my Y480!

My spec is :

Windows 8
Qualcom Atheros AR9285
Driver Date : 3/7/2012
Driver Version : 3.0.0.130


And from website http://support.lenovo.com/en_MY/downloads/...selector=expand

1. Intel WiMax Driver (Intel 6150NX) for Microsoft Windows 8 (32-bit, 64-bit)
2. Intel Wireless LAN Driver for Microsoft Windows 8 (32-bit, 64-bit)
3. Wireless LAN Driver (CyberTan/Broadcom, Liteon/Atheros) for Microsoft Windows 8 (32-bit, 64-bit)

There's 3 files. And which one should i choose if i want to update the driver? Kinda confuse abit..
Help me! Thanks. notworthy.gif

this, BTW I hope we can change to Intel Wi-Fi card...lol
the poor signal is due to the antenna I think, we got only two if compare to other laptop which got three
and also atheros wi-fi card is not so good la...

Just want to let you guys know, said warranty claim on the first page is applicable to Y510 too. I've updated my warranty to 2 years.

Thank you

Planning to upgrade the Atheros card with an Intel card... Either 7260 or 6205... Will post the results after i finish bargaining with the eBay seller from China... hmm.gif
While the antenna does have effect on the signal strength but will have to look at the wifi card as well. And if your laptop wifi not running at Wireless N protocol which support the multi T:R stream then 1 antenna is enough for a/b/g, the number of stream does limited by the numbers of antenna but only applies on N (2 needed) and AC (3 needed) protocol, go have a read on MIMO Antenna on how things work.

i don't quite understand.. mind explain me more? I'm still not getting a full bar even placed just beside my router..
how do you change the wifi card? is it replaceable by dyi?

Hi everyone I am using Y410p laptop. Its been nearly 2 months now and now problem arises.
There is white flickering problem:
[attachmentid=3697719][attachmentid=3697720]
It happens
1. During Boot up
2. During shut down
3. Playing games
4. Normal browsing

But it only happens occasionally. It is not stuck there, it will gone by itself in a few seconds, or when i move the screen forward a little, it will disappear and click alt-tab.
Does anyone has any clue to what happened to my laptop?

This image is when there is no white flickering.

could it be the graphic card? Have you try update to the latest firmware?

my lenovo y480 seems no longer can use the graphic card. it's detected by using Speccy buy when play games, it won't utilise the graphic card and use intel graphic instead + unable to update via nvidia software.

How to settle this?
