Lenovo 3000 N100 Network issue / Wireless Stack initialization failed, error code 117

Hi,
Lenovo 3000 N1000 with 1GB Ram, Win XP SP2, purchased in May 2006. WLAN network with WPA-PSK key worked without any issues so far and is still accessible with PC.
After transferring music via from my notebook to my mobile Bluetooth all network adapters seem to be disconnected. Neither Access Connections (AC) nor Windows can find any wireless network. Also if I try to configure any LAN, WLAN with Windows I get the message that all network adapters have been removed. However I cannot spot any issue in the device manager as all parts are shown to be working OK.
This is what I've done so far:
1) Checked Radio switch ---> on
2) FN +F5 --> connection on
3) Uninstalled AC, downloaded and installed most actual version (5.00 Build 7VCX32WW)
4) Installed new version for wireless driver for Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG (version 12.0.0.82)
Still, even if I uninstall AC to check if WLAN is working at all, Windows gives the error message that all network components have been removed.
Diagnose Tool gives the following output:
"Wireless Stack initialization failed, error code 117"
Logfile:
Description : Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
Type : Wireless LAN Adapter
DriverVersion : 10. 5. 1. 59 ----> why is the old driver version??????????
PNPID : PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4227&SUBSYS_10118086

Hope this is enough information for anyone of you in order to suggest any solution. As I could see from previous threads some of you experienced similar problems in the past and could fix them somehow. However I couldn't find anyone with exactly the same problem.
Thanks much in advance for any advice you might have.

Hi
I have this problem also with my Lenovo 3000 V200.
Sometimes when I boot up the PC it will connect to the network and everything works just fine.
At other times, after boot, the "wireless stack initialization failed, error code: 118" problem occurs
and the only way to solve it seems to be a PC restart. Nothing else I do will bring the network up.
If I study the Networking tab in Task Manager it indicates that no adapters are available (wired eth.
access also fails). At a few occations connectivity have failed alltogether (i.e. a reboot have not solved
the problem). Last time this occured I had to reinstall the complete system (from a previous backup)
to get networking up.
I have tried different versions of Access Connections (5.02, 5.12, 5.21) and the same problem occurs
at seemingly random instances in time. This is obviosly a problem with the Access Connections software
since the Wireless networking works fine when I let windows manage it...
Anyone with a fix?

Lenovo 3000 N100 notebook cannot connect to my wireless network

Hello,
this is my first post. I am new member. I also am a very novice/amateur computer user and so I need some help from some pros or anyone that has experienced a similar problem and can help fix my laptop. I have a Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop model number 0768 6EU. About a week ago I updated/downloaded a bunch of software upgrades from Lenovo's website recommended for this computer. Prior to this download I was able to connect to my wireless home network. But after the download of various required/recommended software upgrades it no longer connects to the wireless home network. my other laptops connect so I know that it is not my wireless router. I have tried various things recommended by the ThinkVantage access connection on my computer but I get the following on that: signal strength: 0%, status: disconnected, IP address: not assigned. I also ran the diagnostic tools and it gave me the following: connection status: disconnected, cause: wireless stack initialization failed, error code: 118, recommended action please check the wireless driver installation. I even went to the Intel wireless 3945 abg hardware properties window and pressed the tab to revert back to the prior driver for the wireless card. I would appreciate any help. I know this message/post is long but it is the only way I can explain what is going on

Lenovo 3000 N100, Services failed to start No internet connection, Win Vista H Prem SP2

Can not connect to the internet.
Control Panel>Network and Sharing Center   .. Below Sharing and Discovery "off "
Tried to connect wireless first. Network discovery is off. Clicked to turn on and apply..... it will not turn on? (still trying ) To end I had to use the task manager, to end program.
Connected a network cable to the laptop and fill out the wizard connection information.
       Still will not connect.   Restarted with network cable attached no connection.
Wireless Connection status, Radio off. Click on "Power on Wireless Radio" will not come on.
Also have some spooler issues, currently no printer installed. "The Dependency service or group failed to start."
Lenovo 3000 N100 Win Vista Home Premium SP2 32bit, system rating 3.1
I think this is all a services issue?
Suggestions?
After yet an additional restart "Connection Status: unknown The dependency services or failed to start."

Called into the Lenovo help desk for software, Rommel did diagnostic with me and it seem to be a virus. I have no services files running and no internet connection.
With no internet connection it's hard to get a service from Lenovo.
They are will to sell me a one time service for 89.00 and if it's considered major it would go to 129.00.
A one year service agreement would be 179.00 for 3 major and unlimited minor and they would on either of these send me a boot disk.
They did a great Diagnostic work I'm just not sold they can fix my problem.
On the command line   ping 127.0.0.1 gets me Unable to initialize windows Socket, error code 10107.
Looks like I dead in the water..........

Missing Drivers - Downgraded from Vista Home to Windows XP Pro SP3 - Lenovo 3000 N100 Notebook

Hey,
I have a lenovo 3000 N100 as well and recently downgraded to Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3.
However, I have a lot of hardware drivers missing (yellow question mark) -
1) Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus
2) Base System Device (listed thrice so I'm guessing there are three separate drivers needed)
3)Network Controller
4) Video Controller
5) Video Controller (VGA Compatible)
I have no audio or wireless either. Lastly, I have spoken to lenovo and they asked me to download some drivers from lenovo.com. I did and also downloaded every possible driver for XP on the lenovo site but still had no luck.
I would really appreciate any help/guidance you can offer. I have exausted all resources at this point.
My email is xxxxxxxxxxxxx so feel free to reach out to me there as well.
Thanks a ton.

Lenovo 3000 N100 0768 DKU Battery problem

Lenovo 3000 N100 0768 DKU Laptop has battery issues. The battery shows 75% & total battery power remaining @ 76%.
The battery charge does not change when connected to the system with the AC adapter. The system will only function with the AC adapter attached. The system will not function on battery alone.
Is there some type of battery re-calibration available? My husband checked the battery with a meter that shows that it still does have power. The battery is a Sony LION; the original one purchased with the computer.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions offered!

LENOVO 3000 N100 "lock-up", "stall" problem

My laptop will start, but stall/freeze at any step after pushing the on buttom. It stalled at "window is starting up", "login in screen", afetr login, during loading the start-up programs or few minutes after running any propgram like Internet Explorer or spybot. When it stalled, the mouse is still able to move arond, but nothing happen if you click an icon. If clicking too many times, it beep two times and the mouse stalled. After a lot of try-and-errors, I think I find out the cause (with 80% confidence). Somehow, I.E. is causing lock-up. I have I.E. 7.0 and Window XP. What shoud I do to fix the problem? I tried to remove I.E. 7.0 from my laptop and re-installed back. It didn't work. Then, I tried to install I.E. 6.0. The set-up says it detected a new version of I.E. installed on my laptop and won't install I.E. 6.0 even I.E. 7.0 is already removed. Thanks for the help.

Lenovo 3000 N100 - Stays on just for a very short time

I have a Lenovo 3000 N100, Model Type 0689-29U
Will power up but only stay on for a short time (less than two minutes usually) before it shuts down without any errors. Does not stay on long enough to run hardware diagnostics.
Have replaced the following items so far:
1) Main System Board (motherboard)
2) Both Memory Modules
3) Power Adapter (power brick)
4) Hard Drive
5) Battery
Still the same results. I am not thinking that the CPU may be either bad and/or it is heating up. I am not sure how the fan on this unit is supposed to behave. In other words, I am not sure if it is supposed to be on all the time or not. When I first power the system up, the fan comes on just for a few seconds then goes off and never comes back on again. I assume that is because this unit's fan is supposed to come on only when needed although not sure.
If anyone has any ideas and/or any feedback on anything I have written above, I would greatly appreciate your input.
Thank you.

remove the battery and plug the ac power, and check if issue persists.

Installing Windows 7 on my Lenovo 3000 N100

Hello!
I have Lenovo 3000 N100 with Windows xp.
I want to install Windows 7 on my computer and I have some questions:
1) Is it possible to install Windows 7 over my computer?
2) I have paratition C and rescue and recovery hidden paratition. As a part of Windows 7 installation I have to format drive C.
If i format drive C my paratition will be deleted too? I mean, after Windows 7 Installation will I have the option go restore back to original factory settings (Windows xp) by getting into ThinkVantage by clicking the Lenovo Care Button during startup?
3) Will I be able to get Windows 7 compatible drivers for my computer? (Sound, Intel graphics, wireless card and etc)
Thanks!

Windows 7 works well on the N100 with 2 GB ram,
and a dual core CPU.
If you do not change the size of c: partition,
Lenovo Care Button may still work. I do not know for sure,
as I never used it on my N100s.
Also make sure you have burned recovery disks,
in case the button does not work.
It is also a good idea to create a "disk image" using
a program like Acronis True Image, or similar before
installing another OS. This would be stored on a external hard drive.
There are also various free imaging programs available
on the web. This has been my preferred method.
As for drivers, I only needed to install Audio, and Card Reader
drivers. Win 7 had built-in drivers for the rest, and windows update
found some newer versions. Your results may be different,
due to the different versions of the N100 hardware.
So with some planning, Win 7 works quite well on the N100,
with some minor quirks, IMO.

Two big problems that have effectively made my Lenovo 3000 N100 an expensive paperweight.

Okay, I have two problems with my laptop, which I know are unrelated:
1. My laptop's battery died about a month ago. It will not hold a charge, and unplugging the system will immediately shut off the system. This is identical to symptoms as per the battery issue attached to the top of the forum. However, this battery issue occured after even the extended warranty expired.
2. My laptop will now spontaneously, inexplicably shut down between 3 - 5 minutes after turning it on. It acts as if the system was suddenly unplugged.
Between these two issues, this has effectively crippled my laptop. The first issue limits it to the power outlet. The second makes it completely unusable. The system runs normally until it spontaneously shuts down. Because of the time it takes until it shuts down, I doubt I can use Lenovo's warranty check tool online. Because of this, I can't even get the serial number (as the warranty sticker is worn down to the point of illegibility.
First question: What can be done to repair it?
Second question: Is it under warranty? It is a Lenovo 3000 N100.
Please let me know ASAP. This is a very problematic issue for me, and I'm really unhappy that a less-than-two year old system has died, and I hope that this can be resolved.

@ortegaluis: my hard disk crashed a few days back (i have 3000 n100 and currently running the machine on a 1 gb pen drive )
was planning to buy a 320/500 GB hdd : seagate or western digital or hitachi (since hitachi was the one intially installed)
Could you please tell me, which one would be best? (it seems you have experience in the field)
Do i need to look for specs any other than these: 7200 rpm, 2.5" ?
Thanks
PS: all those who want to know possible behaviors of hard disks before crashes, visit http://datacent.com/datarecovery/hdd/hitachi . Mine gave a clicking sound exactly like the one on the page. Worked for a few days before giving up. If you hear similar sounds, back up your data immediately unless you want to loose it like i did

Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop shuts down after about 1 minute

Despite being plugged into AC power, my Lenovo 3000 N100 shuts down after about one minute. It boots properly but suddenly shuts down. I have not used this laptop much since purchasing it in 2006 and have seldom used it on battery power alone. Any suggestions before I buy a new battery? Maybe I am mistaken, but shouldn't the computer work on AC despite a depleted battery?

Hi Charleydog and welcome to the community,
Take the battery out and unplug the ac. Hold the power button down for about 15 seconds. Do it twice. Then plug only the ac in and see if it fires up.

Mysterious shutdowns on Lenovo 3000 N100

I have a Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop around two years old. Half a year ago its battery when dead, and I've been running on AC power since. However, that doesn't seem to be enough anymore.
The computer has begun to shut down randomly for no apparent reason - sometimes during boot, sometimes after a couple of minutes, sometimes after several hours or more.
I'm using Ubuntu as my operating system after Windows went haywire, and haven't experienced any trouble with it so far.
Ideas, anybody?

Exactly same here...............solution?
I run lenovo n100 on ac power.If battery is inserted it is detected but shows not charging on windows 7.
After few minutes the laptop switches off without any indication within a second. And then if I switch on again with/without battery same thing repeats. To over come that I hav to Restore the system in Safe mode.
So we can conclude there is no Hardware problem.
