Lenovo 3000 N200 - Startup issue from bad to worse

I was facing similar startup issues like others (abrupt shutdown). I saw posts with similar issue so I tried the method (F1 on startup then F9 and F10) but ended up making things worse. Now it won't boot at all. Goes to "Windows didn't start successfully" and I have tried every single option (safe mode, last known good config and normal start) but nothing works.
Any suggestion?

remove the hdd and use linux live cd to check if it boots.

Windows 10 on Lenovo 3000 N200 0769 RGB

hi all, I dared to upgrade my old Lenovo 3000 N200 (0769 RGB) from (an already unsupported) Win7 to Win10.Everything works ok, only the video driver is some basic windows driver from 2006 and only supports 1024x800 resolution. It is a nvidia chip as far as I know (GeForce 7300) but nvidia does not support win10 for that chip it seems. I tried to use the latest driver from lenovo (vista 64) and it worked after installation but after reboot the screen stays black. Has anyone found a driver that works on this old laptop? thanks juba

Hi,
This issue occurs typically on laptops.
This driver is for ACPI on your motherboard which controls different power modes.
First disable any sleep settings on your PC and do normal PC optimization.
In some cases disabling the ACPI Battery from within device manager also helps.This may disable the ability for the PC to charge the battery on a laptop.
If the issue persists,I suggest you perform the following steps to check the result.
1.Press Win+R, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
2.Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ACPI\Parameters
Note If the Parameters subkey does not exist, right-click ACPI, point to New, and then click Key. Type Parameters as the subkey name, and then press ENTER.
3.Right-click the Attributes entry, and then click Modify.
Note If the Attributes entry does not exist, right-click Parameters, point to New, and then click DWORD value. Type Attributes as the entry name, and then press ENTER.
4.In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, click Hexadecimal, type 100 in the Value data box, and then click OK.
5.Quit Registry Editor.

Lenovo 3000 N200 0769 Startup Problem

Hello,
I recently installed a new harddrive which is a Samsung HM251JJ 250GB 7200rpm
Before I inserted the new harddrive I disconnected the the power supply and akku as mentioned.
I started the Laptop and after the message mouse initialized the System hangs... So I have no chance to get the Boot Menu to install the Operating System...
First I thought, might be a problem with the harddisk itself but I've run a full harddrive scan with serveral tools also from Samsung itself but all reported that the haddrive should work fine...
Next thing I did was a Bios update to the newest available version, which does not solved the problem.
Another Idea I got was installing another harddrive this time also a Samsung with 250GB but instead of 7200rpm it had 5400rpm that drive worked fine...
So I wonder if the Lenovo 3000 N200 does not support harddrives with a speed of 7200rpm???
best regards

I once had a "wake" key stuck on a keyboard, and the computer kept re-booting!
I thought maybe the "one touch restore" button, or one of the F key could
be stuck partially down.
Your computer problem is very strange, have not heard of that one before.
Sorry to be no help.

Lenovo 3000 N200 0769 BIOS problem

Hello everybody! I'm a new entry in the forum, but i am a 6 year old user of a Lenovo 3000 N200 (0769) and i am very happy with its services so far! However, after a format that i make, i saw a BIOS update for this model, so i decide to install it. But the result wasn't the οne that i wish for. My poor laptop now when i try to open i can see just a black screen and nothing else. Although, i can hear the fan and the LEDs of the AC, HDD are light up (HDD's led is off after while). The laptop has got Windows XP 32bit.
I think i must recover the old BIOS, but i would like to see your suggestions and anwsers first.
Thank you.

Hi LongBeacher,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that your N200 is displaying black screen when tried to turn ON after updating the BIOS, Remove the battery and any other peripheral device connected to the computer. Hold the power button for 10-15 seconds and then connect only the AC Adapter and try to turn ON the computer, check if the display is working also check if the computer display is working in External display.
If the issue persists even after performing the above step, I would Strongly Suggest Calling Technical Support for Assistance. Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.
Hope this helps!!!
Do post us back if the issue still persists.

(excuse me for bad english, I'm not english speaking people)
Hi,
I have a Laptop Lenovo 3000 N200 0769-A44 (S/N xxxxxxx 07/11).
I have an important noise from the CPU fan. I want change the CPU fan but I don't find the good reference.
In the system part, for 0769, there are 2 references : 41W5225 and 41R7795.
On the fan there is the S/N ATZI8000700M1.
Can you say to me which of the 2 references is the good for my computer ?
Thanks

Lenovo 3000 N200 0769 ERG upgrade memory 1GB- 3GB only recognize 2GB

I bought a Lenovo 3000 N200 0769 ERG with 1GB installed in first slot.
To get the system better work I wanted to expand the RAM.
As the spec's tell a maximum of 3GB should be possible.
Thefore I added a 2GB mem-card.
I expected to see the I would have in total 3GB in use.
Now the system and BIOS tells that only 2GB is in use.
I already checked:
- startup with only 1GB works correct.
- by adding the 2GB card the total value increased from 1 to 2 GB so the card is expected to be correct
+ systems works correct
- only using the 2GB card gives problems, system doesnot recognize RAM at all.
On this forum I see some suggestions to place 2 x 2GB cards and Vista only recognizes 3GB.
Is someone aware that this may be a solution?
Does someone else have an other solution.
Your help is very welcom.
Thanks in advance.

Wow, thank you, what an awesome little tool!
So, I found that these 2 RAM products are compatible with my laptop:
Part Number: CT758799
Module Size: 2GB
Package: 200-pin SODIMM
Feature: DDR2 PC2-6400
Specs: DDR2 PC2-6400 • CL=6 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR2-800 • 1.8V • 256Meg x 64 •
Part Number: CT699699
Module Size: 2GB
Package: 200-pin SODIMM
Feature: DDR2 PC2-5300
Specs: DDR2 PC2-5300 • CL=5 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR2-667 • 1.8V • 256Meg x 64 •
I then went to a well-known auction site and found RAM cards from the same manufacturer with exactly the same specs as above but with different Part numbers. Does it have to be the exact part number or do I stand a good chance of it working if it has the required spec? I searched for the exact part numbers and yielded 0 results.
Thanks for all your help on this.

No Internet Access on Lenovo 3000 N200

I have a Lenovo 3000 N200, recently upgraded to Windows 7.
The problem - no internet access - first occurred after uninstalling software as per Win 7 Upgrade Analyzer.
I have since done the Windows 7 upgrade and re-installed various drivers but the problem persists.
The symptoms are that :
ping does not work, including ping localhost which yields a General Failure message.
I can connect to my home wireless network but am not issued with an IP address.
When I set the address explicitly I still do not get internet access.
Messages from diagnostics include "cannot see router"
My Linksys Advisor on another PC attached to my home network can see the Lenovo when I set the IP address.
Another laptop (Toshiba) upgraded to Windows 7 OK and can connect to the router and internet.
Tried the a wired Ethernet connection to the Linksys device but that doesn't give me Internet either

Noisy fan on Lenovo 3000 N200

Hi,
I have had my Lenovo 3000 N200 for a week now. So far im happy with it. But ive noticed how the fan goes in intervals up and down very often. Have you noticed this also? Read about it in a review http://www.notebookreview.com/defaul...ew=Lenovo+N200 where it is described as the fan has "ADHD".
Sometimes (like now) Ive heard the fan go constantly (not max but still going so you can hear it) for about half an hour.
I guess its manufactured that way... or do you think its bad or wrong if it goes up and down like that? This is my first laptop so I dont have any experinces regarding this area.
Since this is my first laptop Ive no experience regarding how much the fan should go/sound. But is it normal that you can hear it while youre working at your computer?
The machine was pre-installed with Vista and i have tweaked it a little but still its not a very good OS for this machine I can tell.
I have plans on installing XP (saw on Lenovos homepage that its compitable with XP) and I have read about it on forums something about that you have to creat a install disc with SATA-drivers.
Thanks
Ekano

Hi
It is normal to hear the fan running, it shouldn't be loud but a wooshing sound is normal.
Window Vista does a lot of background stuff (far too much in my opinion) so your laptop runs hot. The fan will hardly be on with Windows XP (make sure you select the Portal/Laptop power scheme in XP to get even cooler running).
To slip stream the ACHI drivers for SATA you will need the F6 install files from Intel, the Intel Storage Matrix driver page has info about getting these files. To slip stream them into Windows XP Google for NLite.
The easiest way though is to go into the BIOS and set the hard-drive to Standard IDE, install Windows XP, then install the Intel Matrix drivers, reboot and set the BIOS back to ACHI. There isn't really much difference in performance between standard and ACH I modes.
Regards
Phil

Can't turn on my Lenovo 3000 N200

Hello, I've got a problem with my Lenovo 3000 N200 laptop.
Yesterday I used it without it's power supply, so it discharged. I let it charge, but none of the indicating power lights are lit up even though the power supply is good. It has now ''charged'' all night, but nothing has changed, no power lights and I can't turn it on. I'm confused, it's the first time when something like this happens, I haven't dropped it or anything it just completely discharged..
I already tried 2 times this trick when you remove the battery, push the power button for about 30 seconds and then put battery back in, but it didn't work.. :/
Any ideas or it's dead?

could be power cord or mainboard issue due to "no power lights"
i believe you don't have valid warranty but is it possible to contact local support center? you'll need probably some more help to diagnose the problem.

Just bought a Lenovo 3000 N200 without a hard disk drive, need software

I just bought a Lenovo 3000 N200 Type 0769-BLG assembly date 07/09 from e-bay, it looks brand new but it had a fault, it was dead, perhaps a faulty motherboard and the hard disk drive had been removed. Assuming I can get the fault fixed, where can I get the Lenovo software that came with the original hard disk drive, I would prefer a free source, if that is possible, perhaps some kind person has put all of the CD's on to a DVD that I can borrow or buy a copy of. I was an IBM employee for 30 years before retiring 15 years ago. Dan McLean in Scotland, UK.

Lenovo 3000 N200 0769-ALU Dual Monitor Support

My nephew has a Lenovo 3000 N200 0769-ALU, downgraded from Vista to XP. Does this notebook support Dual Monitor Extended Desktop configuration? If so, how is this configured?
My nephew lives in a different city, so I am not able to just go over and lay w/ his machine. I am familiar w/ the dual monitor support on my HP LapTop, but am not sure what to look for on the Lenovo. Assistance is appreciated.

Lenovo 3000 N200 (0769) | Windows 7 | What driver do I need?

Hello,
fist of all I'd like to mention that I am german and consequently am not familiar with all the technical terms in their english incarnation. I am going to describe what I mean the best way I can.
Here's what happened: I fell victim to a virus the other day, which forced me to format my harddrive an reinstall Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop, a Lenovo 3000 N200 (0769). All went smoothly exept for one thing: I can only choose between a solution of 800x600 and 1024x768. This is apperently due to my computer not beeing able to detect my graphics-device-card-thingy. I know it is in there however, because before i reinstalled Windows everthing was fine.
Assumably there is a driver missing. I tried to find out which one I it was by installing Everest and have it have a look at it, but a message popped up that Everest does not suport my particular laptop. And indeed there was no information it could give me concerning my graphic devices.
I wound greatly appreciate any help I could get.
Thanks,
Giles

please provide the device name or/and id. ( such as pci\ven_8086&dev_2929&subsys )

Problem with Lenovo 3000 N200 0769 Laptop

Hi all,
I'm new here and hope someone can tell me whats wrong with my Lenovo 3000 N200 0769. Two days ago I got up in the morning and turned on my laptop, it started and shut off about 3 seconds later. It does it every time I try to start. I was able to get the windows intro, and then could not sign in as the keyboard didn't work. When I unplugged the power cord it immediately shut off. Is it a Battery malfunction thats caused this or a Virus? PLEASE I need some help here!! I googled it and on some other sites some said it was the Battery. Thanks very much.
Regards,
Michael

Also, with the battery out and AC unplugged, press and hold the power button several times. Then, re-attach AC and try to start it up. You could go into BIOS and reload BIOS defaults (that's an option) save and exit. Try to start up normally again.
If the system boots up only part way, hangs, or shuts off then I would tend to think the fan & heatsink could be clogged. See this article on cleaning.
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Value-line/Lenovo-3000-Fan-amp-Heat-cleaning-N100-exampl...
The N200 is very similar to the N100 in this regard.
If the fan and heatsink are clean, I would check the battery - these systems don't like to run with just the AC. Try to see if it will start up from just battery with no AC, or start with battery in and AC, and then unplug AC. If it shuts off, then the battery is defective and should be replaced. Most of these, especially N100 seem to do much better with a good battery.
Best regards,
Mark

LENOVO 3000 N200 LAPTOP graphics memory doesn't exceed 128mb on Windows XP

i have a lenovo 3000 n200 laptop model 0769-a58
it is equiped with mobile intel gm 965 chipset " X 3100 "
under windows vista the graphics memory reads up to 384 mb with shader v. 3.0
while when i install windows xp the graphics memory doesn't exceed 128 mb with shader v. 2.0
i already tried the latest graphics drivers from intel.com & the latest bios driver from lenovo.com
i even upgraded the RAM to 3 GB
i would be thankfull if anyone answers my problem

My guess is that it IS a Vista problem, since other devices
work, and you have tried your new devices on a different
system.
Some one else may have a different solution, but that is
where I would concentrate my troubleshooting.
