Hold Tray HDD Bracket for Lenovo 3000 100K FRU 41R6064

I want to install a second hard drive in my system, a drive I have taken out of an older box that I am responsibly scrapping. I need the plastic drive bracket. Part no. 41R6064. I assume that the plastic slide rails would be included with this.
Lenovo in Georgia say that the above number is the correct FRU number, but when I try to order it, it does not show up in the database as a valid part number with the actual supplier - IBM in Canada. They say they are not 'technical' people, so cannot find out what the current part number is. They also say that this might be a 'marketing" part number as opposed to a "replacement" or "service" part number, but of course there is no cross reference for it.
The concept behind the bracket kit seems like a good one, but somebody in marketing should realize that any idea is not a good idea if it is not supported. What would happen if the strap on the installed drive got broken? It can turn the user off the idea of buying anything in the future from a company that, through not supporting their product, renders a machine that seems pretty slick into a piece of useless trash.
I have been back and forth between Georgia and Toronto at least twice or three times, and I am left with no solution. Lots and lots of "I don't knows" and "I am not a technical person" lines of reply. It is frustrating, to say the least. If there is a new part number, then at least the staff at Lenovo ought to be able to find it, however non-technical they might be, one would think.
What can be done about this?

Thanks harrisb!
Your solution makes sense. I found the newmodeus bay after my bundled purchase of the W530, the 12.7mm Bay and the MiniDock. Also found this forum after the transaction. It's a shame but it really seems like the Lenovo Bay is making this more difficult than it should be due to the lack of info.
Unfortunately, UPS is delivering my Lenovo Bay and Dock today. The SSD and RAM has also shipped and is due to arrive this week as is the W530.
The only thing that hasn't been purchased is the SSD and HDD mounting gear.
With this info what would you or anyone else do at this point?
Would purchasing the newmodeus TP-60 Tray, Screws, and rails work with the SSD in the Main Drive bay?
Would the HDD and it's default rails/tray fit perfectly/securely in the 12.7mm Bay?
Would the kit that comes on the HDD still work on the SSD in the Main Drive and then use the newmodeus TP-60 kit on the HDD in the Bay?
There's also the IBM parts? Just concerned they don't come with the tray or screws. And, they won't fit securely in the main drive or bay.
Really appreciate the speedy reply!!
P.S. Got the OCZ due to the great IOPS specs.

If you are using Windows Vista go to All Programs/Palm and click on the folder and select Hot Sync Manager and then try to sync with the USB cable. If you are using the Windows XP go to Start/Programs/Palm/Hot Sync Manager and then try to sync. If you don’t have the palm folder at all on your PC you have to install it.

2nd HDD Bracket for SFF P300?

I recently purchased a Thinkstation P300 SFF machine that came configured with a 3.5" 1TB primary HDD.
I would now like to add a second 3.5" hard disk drive, but I need a bracket to install it into. That should be simple, right?
Unfortunately, after multiple calls to Lenovo sales and tech support...nobody can find a part number for this hard drive bracket. I've tried to order it twice - once they sent me a 2.5" HDD bracket that fits in my P300, but won't fit my 3.5" HDD. The second time, they sent me a 3.5" HDD bracket, but the bracket was for the tower version, not the SFF version of the P300.
According to the system specs and hardware manuals, the SFF P300 will accomodate TWO 3.5" HDD's.
It should not take this much trouble to add a second HDD to a "workstation" class machine.
Can anyone help? Is there a part number for this thing? Is anyone there?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

1. Yes, my P300 came with a DVD/RW. I think it is standard height. The bracket holding the ODD is 1/2" taller than the bracket holding the primary HDD.
2. Yes...the front panel includes a card reader, plus microphone input, headphone output, and 2 USB 3.0 slots.
It appears to me that there is room in the case for the 2nd HDD - it looks like the bracket for drive #2 has room to be installed against drive #1 (the bracket should allow them to connect together without screws, per the hardware manual).
I can post photos of the inside and outside of the unit, if that would help.
The unit I purchased was from CDW...here's the URL for it on their site.
Oh...and I will need a "bracket kit", including SATA data and power cables. There are only two SATA power cables on the motherboard, and those are both already taken up, so I will need some sort of power cable splitter in order to power both HDD's.
I suspect that this is an issue on your end...I've contacted both Sales and Support, multiple times, and neither one has been able to find me the bracket kit that I need.
I'm getting ready to return the P300 to CDW, because if I can't install a 2nd HDD, it's not useful to me. I would prefer to keep it, but not in its present state.
Thanks.

Memory Upgrade for Lenovo 3000 Notebook N200 (Type 0769)

Anyone else seen this problem?
Any help would be most gratefully received!
Cheers

hi yan_c,
Welcome to the Lenovo Community.
Have you tried to check the timings of the 2x2GB RAM if they are identical to the original 1GB RAM? You can use CPU-Z to check the timings of the 1GB RAM inside of Windows. As for the 2x2GB RAM, the timings should be in the packaging material.
Sample timings:

Source: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Lenovo-3000-N200-Notebook.9088.0.html
It's possible that the Memory Reference Code under the BIOS can't initiate the RAM if it has different timings. Flashing the BIOS would be the second step in this scenario.
Hope this helps.

Drivers for Lenovo 3000 N500 4233-5FG notebook

Hi everybody!
yesterday I became my brandnew N500 4233-5FG notebook. Here are the specifications:
http://www5.pc.ibm.com/europe/products.nsf/$wwwPartNumLookup/_NS75Fxx?open&OpenDocument&epi=web_express
A friend of mine and I tried to install Win XP, but most of the drivers from the lenovo support HP don´t work. We´ve read lots of threads in this forum and all over the internet, but nothing helped!
Here is what we did till here:
1.switch from sata to ide
2.forcing the notebook to boot with the optical drive, because otherwise it showed no reaction on the Win Xp CD
3.installing Win XP
4.installing the drivers from http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/product.do?template=/product.do?template=%2Fproductpage%2...
5.Win XP "runs" but almost all the drivers are announcing conflicts and as consequence nothing works (sound, LAN, and so on)
6.then we installed the net framework and tried the drivers described by the user voyager in this thread:
http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=N_Series_Lenovo_3000&thread.id=8077&view=by_date...
7.nothing worked
8.then we installed Service Pack 3 for Win XP an tried again the drivers from the lenovo HP.
9.there was no improvement, which means there are always the same problems as at the beginning...
10. as it was 4 o clock in the morning and we had a very long day, we decided to go to sleep... ;.))
Can anybody help me and/or has anybody experience with exactly the same notebook than i have?? (n500 4233-5FG)
It would be very helpfull to have some suggestions on how to do it right or perhaps anybody knows something about were to find the right drivers?!?
Thank in advance and lots of greetings,
Daniel

I reviewed the link provided for your Lenovo 3000 N500 [Model Name: 42335FG, Part Number: NS75Fxx]
Link:
http://www5.pc.ibm.com/europe/products.nsf/$wwwPartNumLookup/_NS75Fxx?open&OpenDocument&epi=web_expr...
At the bottom of the configuration table, under "SOFTWARE", it says "Supported operating systems" PC DOS 2000 (limited), Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows Vista Home Premium.
It doesn't appear that the 3000 N500 [Model Name: 42335FG, Part Number: NS75Fxx] is intended to support XP.
What am I missing here?

CE Utility Diskette for Lenovo 3000 series ???

Hello
I'm searching for this Lenovo Tool ...
Which was described in the Lenovo 3000 Hardware Maintenance Manual
Can everybody help me ??
Thanx
Frankmen

frankmen, welcome to the forum,
I wasn't aware that any Business Partners in Germany are allowed to provide warranty service on 3000 or IdeaPad systems, please correct me if I'm wrong on this; it would be interesting to know.
Being a business partner you will be able to contact your Lenovo representative who will certainly be able to put you in touch with the person(s) to speak to about this.
Also, if anyone were to post a link to the utility from these forums it would be immediately removed by moderators.

Inquiry in downgrading OS for Lenovo 3000 G410

First of all... Im a newbie in this community... i just wanted to ask for anyones help...
I have downgraded my OS for my Lenovo 3000 G410 from Windows Vista Starter to Windows XP... and I have been seeing this conflict in my device manager...
I have inserted a snapshot of the error i have been seeing...
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/BMPI-BREAD/My%20Documents/My%20Pictures/Lenovo%203000%20G410_e...
Hope someone can help me from any of the Lenovo Tech Guys out there... Thanks

The problem might have arisen due to the installation of Vista drivers on XP environment, those drivers that came with your laptop are probably designed for Vista. Some of those drivers might work but it would create conflicts with other drivers, which you are expriencing now.
Try the link below to download the appropriate XP drivers for your G410
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-68891.html
Uninstall first all the existing vista drivers. Then install the XP drivers in adherence to the sequence(order) of drivers' installation as indicated in the user guide or manual that came with your laptop. Not following the sequence would result in conflicts with some drivers missing in the Device Manager.
Hope this suggestion helps

Memory upgrade for Lenovo 3000 V200 - only 2Gb seen :(

I bought 2 Transcend DDR2 800 SO-DIMM modules 2Gb each to upgrade memory on Lenovo 3000 V200 notebook.
When I installed them, BIOS (and Windows) sees only 2Gb instead of 4Gb (i use x64 OS so no prob with OS here).
When I install one of new modules and original 1Gb that was in notebook initially - only 1Gb seen instead of 3.
I already checked that all memory modules are OK, both memory slots (if used only one) are OK too.
But when both slots used together only lowest volume memory module is seen.
BIOS update to latest awailable (6th release, ...60WW) didn't help.
In specification stated that this model support up to 4Gb memory but I can't force it to support even 3Gb, only 1 or 2.
Is it possible to do something in this situation?

Probably the Transcend memory is not compatible, it does happen.

Maximum drive size for Lenovo 3000 N 100

Hello,
I've done what I could this past week but I still haven't got a reliable, serious answer to this question. My hard drive died on me after the guarantee period (obviously) and I'd like to have it replaced with a much bigger drive. Will a 160Gb or 250 Gb or a 320 Gb (that's the one I'd like most) be compatible? I've been told by shops and by the repair company that handles Lenovo that I can't exchange a hard drive once it's bought and opened. However, noone has been able to tell me what size the motherboard/system will handle for sure.
Can anyone shed any light on this issue. Lenovo just replied with the official data that the hard drives below are compatible (see info pasted below) and tested by Lenovo, while the repair company said OK to a 250 Gb drive I wanted to buy.
Description Option part number Service FRU part number Customer replaceable unit (CRU)
60GB 5400rpm SATA HD 41N3025 92P6283 Yes
100GB 5400rpm SATA HD 41N3026 27R2309 Yes
I'll be most thankful for your advice.

Hi.
If you're through with your warranty, you have nothing to worry about - changing the HDD will not affect it as it is already wasted. So, you may insert any SATA drive you like - even SSD, since it emulates HDD behaviour.
All systems that do not recognise HDD's over 137 gb were lifetimed at 2005 as far as I remember.

Max HDD Size for Satellite 3000 -514 with BIOS 2.30

Hi folks !
What is the largest HD size notebook recognizes with BIOS 2.30.
I found no FAQ information ragarding this BIOS version.
Thx for your help.

Hi
The Satellite 3000-514 supports the HDD sizes up to 30GB.
You need a HDD 2.5", 9.5mm support bus master IDE, Ultra 33/66 synchronous DMA
Bigger HDD sizes are not supported and I suppose the BIOS will not recognize it.

Update to Windows 7 - Drivers missing for Lenovo 3000 v200

Hi, I bet this not the first post on the matter but I really need help with this...
I just got my laptop (3000 v200) updated to Windows 7 and it seems that many of the drivers are missing (fx. the microphone, webcam and touchpad). I've been browsing the net for solutions but sadly I haven't found a single solution which could fix my problem, most likely because I am not an advanced computer guy.
If there is anyone who can point me into the right direction or tell me if there is a complete Lenovo Drivers Update Package then I would appreciate it very much.

check lenovo download page first but i don't think lenovo doesn't provide windows 7 drivers for your computer. if you have vista drivers, you can try to use them instead of.
by the way, are you using realtek drivers for sound? if yes, you can download the drivers from directly realtek.com

Front panel and audio header pinouts required for Lenovo 3000 J200p 9689

I have re-cased my computer as I love the PC but the Lenovo case is but ugly! The problem is I gave the Levono case to my mate before checking the pinouts. I assumed it would be in the tech manual but it's not. I have got the power switch connected so all I need are the leds and audio.
Would be greatfull if someone could take the time to do this for me.
Many Thanks.

Hi,
I have this same issue. Can we get a motherboard manual for 8705-G6U? I was able to figure out Front Panel power switch, PWR LED and HDD LED but audio is still a problem.
Thanks in advance.
