Does anyone know what voltage that fan runs at? I would be interested in trying it, I would have to find a small enough pot and maybe cut a hole in the bottom of the case?

For all those looking, the link in the thread is broken. If anyone has a source for this, please let me know. It would be greatly appreciated. -
Y500 - Intel Centrino Wireless N-2230 - intermittently drops WiFi connection
techsmart01 replied to musorka's topic in Lenovo
I've tried the disable bluetooth and changing all the settings. I do have to say it actually works now, however it still has lag spikes. I have full connection bars and signal strength, but it will intermittently drop packets, so for web surfing it is livable but for gaming it is unacceptable. I also think it may be the built in network card and particular routers,as I didn't have issues at work. I take it home and I get the dropped packets again. Another thing I noticed is if it runs on the battery, it gets really bad. Anyone else notice if it only gets worse while on battery power? -
No, you just have to be careful not to bend the pin. Easiest way for me to remove it was use a small spatula or flat head under the round ring and it pops off. Then you just line it up on the new card and it should pop on. I don't know if switching the black and white make a difference though.

I don't believe it has an inverter. I didn't see anything in the y500 that had an inverter, nor any new laptops for that matter. flickering could be board, I would try to find another screen to test with before I would order one. Or you can order one from someone who has a return policy to be safe.

Lenovo Y400 / Y500 - unlocked BIOS / wlan whitelist mod
techsmart01 replied to svl7's topic in Lenovo
I'm looking to unlock the bios mainly to change the wifi card. It keeps a connection, but it randomly starts to have lag and the ping rate skyrockets. Is this the issue others are having with the 2230 card with the y500? -
Mine doesnt have tape as well, so I'm assuming there is no way for them to tell you opened it. However since your has a broken pin only on the ultra bay, I dont think they could tell how it happened as long as it is on the connector to the ultra bay.

Does this apply to the vbios as well?
