Symptom:
Built in microphone is not working in Windows 10 in Lenovo Thinkpad notebook.
(In Device Manager there is no any error e.g. yellow exclamation mark.)

Microsoft Arc Touch Bluetooth Mouse and Windows 8.1 - Misleading notebook built-in Bluetooth adapter

The configuration:
-Sony Vaio Notebook (older edition)

-Windows 8.1

-Microsoft Arc Touch Bluetooth Mouse

Sony Vaio with Windows 8.1 can't recognise the Microsoft Arc Touch Bluetooth Mouse.
The built-in bluetooth adapter works fine, bacause it recognises e.g. cell phone with bluetooth or other bluetooth mouse.
Microsoft Arc Touch Bluetooth Mouse is compatible with Windows 8.1.
Where is the problem?

This Sony Vaio notebook was originally shipped with Windows 7, then was reinstalled to Windows 8.1.
(Anyway Windows 8.1 works fine with older Vaio.)

So it was neccesarry to buy a cheap Bluetooth 4.0 Micro USB adapter.
This solved the problem.

How to check your device to see if it's Bluetooth 4.0 enabled?

Remove or reset BIOS password from Windows

This method works with Acer TravelMate 2490 laptop with Windows 7, but by the included cmospwd.txt works other BIOS versions and PCs or laptops.

Download and extract to a folder this software:
http://www.cgsecurity.org/cmospwd-5.0.zip
( Info: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/CmosPwd )

Log on to Windows as Administrator priviledges, or run an command prompt with administrating priviledges (Click Start-->Run: type CMD hit Ctr+Shift+Enter)
cd to the extracted directory (e.g. cmospwd-5.0)
then in cmospwd-5.0 cd to windows directory

To work on cmos memory, ioperm need to be installed and running. ioperm gives direct port I/O access for specified ports to user-mode process.

when you are already in e.g. \cmospwd-5.0\windows directory: type “ioperm.exe –i” hit enter.
to start ioperm service: type “net start ioperm” hit enter.
type: “Cmospwd_win.exe /k” hit enter, we will see:

1 - Kill cmos
2 - Kill cmos (try to keep date and time)
0 - Abort
Choice :

Type 1 and hit Enter to clear cmos or 2 to keep date and time.

Reboot computer and former BIOS password gone.

WARNING: You should disable or uninstall ioperm

with "ioperm.exe -u" if you don't want to decrease

your security!

Acer TravelMate 2490 vs. Windows 8.1 error message: ATTEMPTED SWITCH FROM DPC

After installing Windows 8.1 to Acer Travelmate 2490 two errors remain.
1. Atheros wifi adapter.
2. Card reader.

1. Atheros wifi adapter:
You can download Atheros wifi driver for Windows Vista 32 bit from here.
(There are wifi drivers for Atheros, Broadcom and Intel, but I experienced problem only with Atheros.)
Result of installing  looks OK (with setup.exe), but wifi driver won't be installed.

Solution:
In Device manager on wifi card right click.
Then Update Driver...(Choose the map, you extracted drivers before.)
Install driver.

2. Card reader:
It's unnecessary to install driver, because after installing at starting, Windows 8.1 runs to an error:
"ATTEMPTED SWITCH FROM DPC"

Solution:
In Device manager on card reader right click, and click Disable.
It solves the problem, but you won't use card reader of course (an USB card reader is cheap...or you can enabled this device when you need to read an XD or SD memory card - then disable it again).
