Hello!

I finally put my EGPU in a case and I wonder if there's anything I can put in the middle between the SWEX and the power button so it is persitent. Right now when I push the power button it turns on but as soon as I release it the system turns off again.

Thanks

I have a T430s, a PE4L and a GTX 460 (planning to upgrade sometime in the future). What software and settings do I need to make it run with optimus on the internal screen? How do I check if 1.2 opt is enabled?

Hi, I recently bought a T430s and when I tried to insert a SD card it did not show up in my computer. I've tried 3 different SD cards the sizes are16 gb, 32 gb and 2 gb and neither of them shows up, to make sure the problem is not in the SD card I tried using the SD cards in 2 cameras and 2 other laptops. In all those devices the cards works.

I have tried installing these drivers from this thread https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/New-T430s-4-in-1-express-card-SD-reader-missing-driver/td-p/794793 but it did not work.

I also tried following the instructions in this thread T430s card reader cannot read 16 GB SDHC card - Lenovo Community but that did not help either.

According to the device manager the Ricoh PCIe SDXC/MMC Host Controller is working correctly. The Ricoh SD Disk Device is also working correctly. Whenever I insert the SD card the Sound for a new device plays, and when i remove the SD card the removal sound plays.

I uninstalled Ricoh Media driver and now one of the cards showed up but Windows complains about that it needs to be formatted, but the size is 0 so that doesn't work either. Tried installing the driver again and now they show up in the device manager again and proudly says that they are working but the SD card still doesn't show up.

If I go into the device manager and forcibly update the the Ricoh SD Disk Device then it says:

Disc: Disc 1

Type: Removable

Status: Online

Partitiontype: MBR (Master Boot Record)

Capacity: 15807 MB

Non-allocated space: 0 MB

Allocated space: 0 MB

For the 32 gb SD card everything is the same but instead it says "Capacity: 30828 MB".

How can I fix this? I'm going away for 7 weeks with my laptop so I need to fix it ASAP and I dont have time to send the laptop back to Lenovo.

Edit:

When the SD card is inserted a storage device pops up in the device manager. The name of the device is just "Unknown device" and the status is that it can't find any installed drivers for the device.

Is the CPU in the Dell e6330 socketed? I'm looking at the model with the i5 3380M 2.9 GHz running on a QM77 chipset. And if it is, is it possible to later upgrade it to a i7 quad like the 3612QM?

Is there any difference between ExpressCard/54 or ExpressCard/34 when considering an E-GPU? I see that the HP 8470p has a ExpressCard/54 so would that cause any problems?

Hello, I've been considering an E-GPU solution for a while since I move a lot between different locations and bring the laptop with me to school. What are the options today? I'm looking for the size of a 13 inch or the thinner 14 inchers with a max weight of about 2kg (4.4 lbs). The laptop also needs to be able to run the E-GPU on the internal screen.

The Gigabyte U2442N seemed like the perfect laptop for me last summer due to the dGPU and announced thunderbolt support which would make me able to run on the dGPU until the need for a more powerful GPU arose, but then it didn't ship with Thunderbolt so that was a moot point.

When using an E-GPU through the express card slots, can you do it plug and play or do you need to restart the laptop? Wasn't one of the benifits of Thunderbolt that it would bring plug and play?
