Hi, I had this problem also and I don't know why, but Lenovo Ideapad Z500 seems to have some compatibilities issues with a new Intel video card.
So, what you need to do is rolling back the HD intel video card driver to the previous version OR go to the following path: D:\drivers\VGA\Intel\x64\9.17.10 and press Setup to install the old driver again.
That solved my problem. It's a shame that I can't upload this driver in my laptop.

    Thank you so much! I had the same issue with my Lenovo IdeaPad P400 Touch, and this simple fix totally cured it. Last time this happened, I took it back to Best Buy's Geek Squad (like an idiot) and they kept my computer for a week, ended up wiping it out and reinstalling everything from scratch. Obviously, that didn't even fix it because I had the problem again. So thankful for your advice (and never going back to Geek Squad!)

Hi! I've got the same issue, but I downloaded drivers from lenovo site. That solved the issue for some time. I needed to reinstall win 8.1, then this problem occured again. but drivers are fresh, so no solution found here... The only thing helps me in this situation is I just restart the laptop and press F2 to get to BIOS setup or F12 to get to startup menu, then I use brightness control to make screen brighter. then I continue computer's startup, windows (or other OS) starts and I have normal brightness. Will inform you more, when I solve the issue))) Bye.

SOURCE: Lenovo T60 power port not working

If the docking station charging doesn't work either and your battery is ok you have lost voltage regulator (it prevents overcharging of battery) Take the battery to a battery plus store and they can check it..

SOURCE: I have a Lenovo Y430 notebook and it was working

After making sure that the status of network adapters in the device manager showed enabled, I tried using the Fn+F5 key on my keypad. The Fn+F5 key showed my WiFi status as disabled inspite of the Wifi toggle switch on the front of the laptop in the "on" position. So I enabled it and the WiFi led started glowing and I was able to access the internet through WiFi connection

My laptop is lenovo z500. scrolling problem.

Hi,

Please use the most appropriate F#-key (usually at top of keyboard to make sure that your touchpad has not been accidentally turned off. On my keyboard, F6 is the keyboard that is used to turn my touchpad off. The icon looks like your touchpad with 1 slash through it.

Thank you.

How do I turn down brightness on my hp Windows 7 computer?

Hi,

Below are instructions to adjust brightness on HP laptop

    • Press the "Fn" key with the computer turned on and hold the key.

    • Press the "F7" or "F8" key on some HP laptops, which are printed with a small sun icon on the key. The sun icon is filled on the function key for dimming the laptop. The other key is printed with a hollow sun icon for brightening the screen.

    • Press the "Fn" and left arrow keys together on some HP laptops to turn down the brightness. The "Fn" and right arrow key will increase brightness. Press and release the right arrow key repeatedly, while holding down "Fn," to decrease the screen brightness slowly, or hold the keys to darken the screen as low as the setting will go.

  1. For HP Monitors

    • Press and hold the down arrow key on the front panel of the monitor below the screen to turn down the brightness on the external monitor to the lowest setting.


    • Repeatedly press the down arrow button to dim the monitor gradually.


    • Press the up arrow key on the monitor to increase brightness.


Regards,
Rahul

My car has been acting funny recently (over the past month): electric front driver seat no longer operating to adjust height, and hesitation rolling down auto driver window. Also smelled electrical wiring...

sounds like a fuel issue: fuel pump,fuel filter, as far as the battery dying while driving it is an alternator problem if I am reading the issues correctly, now if it just died and would crank then it is not a charging issue, the other possibility is an ignition problem: crank senor, ignition module, coils,plugs. I hope this helps some Tim
