Hard drive not recognized​, Lenovo Care button not responding

I have a Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop.   Type 0768
When powered up, it will not boot to the operating system.  I just have a white screen with "lenovo" and "To interrupt normal startup, press Lenovo Care button.  It will not respond to the Lenovo Care button.  Pushing F12 changes the message to "Press [F1] for SETUP, Entering boot device selection menu..." but nothing else happens.  Pressing F1 changes the message to "Please Wait...", but again, nothing ever happens. 
I followed the troubleshooting guide which said to try reseating the hard drive, but nothing changed.
Is it dead?

I had the same exact problem as b4blackhad

Word for Word same problem I faced.
I turned on my laptop while continuously pressing the  "PrtSc" button upper right corner and it started up as normal!
I am not all that PC. Smart, very average. I saw solutions saying to press F1 TO F12 tried them all and nothing worked.
 I saw "Remove hard drive" or "Replace Memory" OMG what am I gonna do now!!! Took a chance with "PrtSc" now I'm sooooooooooooo relieved, thanks Lenovo Community for all the tips that put me in the right direction : )

  • Lenovo care button not working

    hi..
    I've just downloaded windows 7 and my lenovo care button doesn't work
    I tried to download all the old drivers for xp but half are not working and I still can't get the button to work..
    I want to resort my hard driver to its original factory state but can't because when my laptop starts up I can't press the lenovo care button to interrupt the start up..
    I don't know what to do.. I want my xp back...
    can someone please help me!!

    Did you make XP restore disks?
    If not, you may need to buy them from Lenovo,
    or get a oem copy of the same version of XP
    and install using the COA code on bottom of laptop.
    You will also need to download all drivers.

  • I just bought a mac mini over the weekend. I saved items from my old G4 to an external hard drive. I go to plug in the external hard drive and the new computer is not recognizing it. Help.

    I just bought a mac mini over the weekend. I saved items from my old G4 to an external hard drive. I go to plug in the external hard drive and the new computer is not recognizing it. Help.
    Here is the information I have. The external hard drive is a 120GB Acomdata. It has both USB and Firewire. When I go to plug in to the mac mini through USB, it is not being recognized. When I switch to Firewire on the old computer I can see it, however when I go to USB it is not being recognized (even on the old computer).
    I'm at a loss as to what to do. Any advice would be helpful.

    Have you ever tried the FW 400 to 800 adapter?
    I have used them on multiple occasions and they work just fine.
    Try this (maybe you already have):
    -Boot Mini with drive disconnected.
    -Do not connect drive but turn it on
    -wait a few seconds for drive to spin up
    -plug cable into the Mini then into drive.
    This is an old drive and may have some timing
    issues.
    I had an Acomdata drive a long time ago.  It
    worked fine with FW but USB was flakey.

    Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again. If the problem remains, update to 10.6.8 and repeat.

  • Lenovo Care Botton not working

    N200, Windown XP: I can not get access to the Lenovo Care contents either from the botton or via the Start menu.    

    Petros;
    You need to install Hotkey driver to launch Lenovo Care from keypad and Start Menu. I was also messing with my button that why it is not working but later I found driver for it and install and it works.

  • My older iPod is not recognized by cars with a newer iPod interface

    And my new iPod Classic is not recognized by cars with the older interface. 
    I purchased a new iPod when I realized my new car wouldn't wouldn't recognize my older iPod.  Now I find my two older cars won't recognize the new device.  Is there an interface cable adapter out there anywhere?

    The Jaguar there is nothing you can do, and the new interface from the dealer are not compatible
    For the BMW, you have to find out what brand interface was installed in the vehicle
    can be dension or original BMW  in the x5, if dension you can get something call
    Scosche passPORT if  BMW brand you can get a new cable from Bmw with the usb and dual power supply,
    In the Mini if DIce brand you will need a new cable or new iPod interface, now they have a usb plug to do updates in case iPhone 5 is release in the future or any other updates from iTunes

  • Is there a way to stop iPhoto storing my photo stream photos on the mac hard drive when enabled? They have not been imported to my library. I have no photos saved on my MacBook Air yet 50gb of Hardrive space is taken up by photos.

    Is there a way to stop iPhoto storing my photo stream photos on the mac hard drive when enabled? They have not been imported to my library. Is there a way to stop iPhoto storing my photo stream photos on the mac hard drive when enabled? They have not been imported to my library. I have no photos saved on my MacBook Air yet 50gb of Hardrive space is taken up by photos. When I turn off photo stream on iCloud preferences the memory is freed up. I like to be able to access my icloud photo streams on
    my macbook but it has a small Hardrive and loosing that much space is annoying and it kind of voids the point of photo streams. Is there a way I can stop
    this ?

    Is there a way I can stop
    this ?
    No, Photo Stream is syncing with iCloud. The most recent 1000 photos in iCloud will be buffered on your mac, even if you do not import them to your photo library, if you enable My Photo Stream.
    See this link:   iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.

  • Can anyone help me- I recently had an archive operating reinstall completed at the genius bar (so they didn't have to delete my hard drive), but now my battery says "not charging." It used to hold a 2.5 hour charge, and now nothing.  Can anyone help?

    Hi, Michelle. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Have you tried resetting the SMC? The SMC (System Management Controller) has control over the charging function, so resetting it may help.
