Unknown model number - website autodetect fails

[krubak]

I have a brand new X200 with the model number 7455-3GG, but i can't find it on the support & drivers page either using autodetect nor by manually selecting - it's simple not on the list.

I suspect it gives me truobles using systemupdate.

How hould I proceed - take a wild guess and update my modelnumber using the flash utility

or

contact Lenovo to have the model put onto the list

Thanks,

Kaare

Hi krubak welcome to the user community.

I think that's a Northern European model, and you are right, it is not yet listed on the support page.

I suggest you select Type: 7455 and Model: All models.

The only thing you will be missing is a short description of your exact configuration, but you know that anyway!

The support pages, such as the drivers and software page are the same for all X200's.

You could drop Lenovo a line alerting them that the 3GG model is missing. I'm sure it will be added soon.

Question for you: Are you saying Lenovo System Update fails, and you suspect it is related to the 3GG model not being on the support page?

If Lenovo System Update fails, give us some more info about the failure mode.

Thanks!

Failing might be a harsh word - System Update sends the model number in order to know which SW and drivers to suggest (I guess). I've downgraded the O/S from Vista Pro to XP pro and after installing Matrix driver, swithcing back to AHCI mode and installing system update i tried to use system update to fetch and install the rest of the drivers and the thinkvantage tools applicable, but it came up with only a few things and I ended up manually downloading a lot of drivers and tools from the web page by searching by type (7455) just as You suggested.
