LENOVO 3000 N200 MAJOR BOOT PROBLEMS - CAN YOU HELP?

I have am running Vista on an N200 which 10 months old. Booting up problems have been occurring intermittently since first receipt but now it will not get past the less than helpful Lenovo Rescue and Recovery 4 screens. I can get to the screen asking for keyboard type and then the identification of the operating system however when I click on OK I get the message below:
You must log on to access System Recovery Options contact your admisistrator for assistance?
My Question is - How can I log onto anything if I cannot boot the system? When i click OK on the message screen i fall into the perpetual loop of boot, Rescue and Recovery 4 to the same screen which kick me out again!
I have tried F8 on boot up but just end up back at the Rescue and Recovery circus. The Bios seems to be ok. I has version 3.03 but reset to defaults in frustration as nothing was working anyhow.
Can anyone shed any light on this really frustrating problem?

What a terrible service from Lenovo. Well after many phone calls to what turned out to be a call centre in Romania. and after being promised a replacement drive day after day one finally turned up. Even after fully explaining what I needed I was sent the wrong drive they sent me a DVD Rom and not the DVD Rewriter that was in my original laptop. The same Romanians have promised me the correct one on Monday. I will wait and see. I have little faith in Lenovo and their whole very poor support network. Quite frankly the drive should never have broken in  only 3 weeks and after only approx 8 uses.
I wonder what will turn up

    the devices is not popping up in our itunes. is anyone else having this problem. can  you help me if you have the same problem

    Try rebooting the computer and restarting the device.
    Try a different cable.
    In rare cases fluff in the connector port can prevent proper contact with the connectors used to transfer data. An air duster or thin piece of card or plastic can be used to tease out debris if that is the problem.

  • 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.
    Best Regards
    Shiva Kumar

  • Illustrator CC 2014 (18.1.1) won't boot! Can you help?!

    I have a MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2009) running 10.10.2 (14C109) and Illustrator CC 2014 (18.1.1) won't boot. It crashes IMMEDIATELY! I've already uninstalled and reinstalled it. I REALLY need this software. It's my primary production App. Can you help? Thank you!

    bb,
    There have been reports on an issue with Extensions Suitcase a while back.I wonder whether that can still be relevant:
    Here is the Extensions Suitcase 5 update that may solve the issue:
    http://www.extensis.com/support/product-support/suitcase-fusion-5/
    Direct update link:
    http://bin.extensis.com/SuitcaseFusion5-M-16-2-5.zip
    Or you may consider an upgrade to Suitcase Fusion 6:
    Otherwise, there may be something relevant in the Other options (follow the link with that name), such as item 1) or 11).

  • InDesign CS4 functioning problems, can you help please?

    I have had a problem in Leopard for a while: Once in a while, InDesign 6.4 would no longer open my files with a compatibility message. I tried all sorts of things such as deleting prefs and backup files, but the only fix was to trash the app and copy it back from another disk.
    Now I just decided to upgrade to Snow Leopard, and I upgraded InDesign to 6.6 in the row. Unfortunately, memory short, I upgraded the copy I used for reinstalling. Now ID 6.6 quits at launch in Snow Leopard, and on the Leopard partition, it wont recognize my files… I'm stuck for there is no way to downgrade to the older 6.4 version that worked. Can you suggest something to sort me out? 
    The message in 6.6 says that a serious error has occured and InDesign will quitt, and this while the last initializators are called in the progress window (translation from localized version)

    Hi Peter,
    It's nice to know that the old software is still available! My copy is part of CS4, do you think that the individual program should work with the suite serial number and activation key?
    To correct my previous post, the version that crashes on my computer is 6.0.6, and 6.0.5 seems ok but sometimes won't open files with error message 14 (file not compatible with ID)
    Thanks!

  • The BTE problem,Can you help me?

    hi,friends,
    i want to update ztable when saving billing with vf11 and vf01.
    i try to use BTE to do that.
    my steps:
    1.bf24,enter the product name and select the "active" check box
    2.se37,copy the function module SAMPLE_INTERFACE_00501010 to ZSAMPLE_INTERFACE_00501010 and active it.
    3.bf34,enter the event 00501010,product and function module.
    why the BTE do not grigger?

    HI,
    you can use t-code SE18 to look for this badi,then use t-code SE19 to create implementation (choose new badi), you can also  copy the implementation of badi to a new implementation.(for example,i copy implementation /NFM/SD_BILLING to zbadi_sd_billing).
    the next you add your code in method(IF_EX_BADI_SD_BILLING~INVOICE_DOC_ADD_BEFORE_POST)  and active the code,active the implementation of this badi.
    my english is poor, ,can you understand what i have to say?
    i kindly hope this can help you.
    regards.

  • Major font problems- can you reinstall only the sytem fonts?

    I installed Adobe Font Folio last night (so far 500+ fonts) and this afternoon several webpages and the address book and the calendar in Dashboard have changed to a numeric/subscript font. I have disabled all fonts in Font Book that look anything like the weird font, repaired the permissions in the Disk Utility, and now am at a lost on what to do next!
    Here is an example: [IMG]http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/bbrizell/bad.jpg[/IMG]

  • My A64 3000 @ 2.3Ghz 1:1 - Can you help me go further? :o)

    Hello everyone. Just wondering if anyone can help me. I have hit a brick wall with my overclock but I hope I can push it a little bit further, since other people have started to have more success.
    So far I have managed 230HT 1:1 thus reaching 2.3Ghz with my A64 3000 @ 1.6v. My ram is rated to run at 250HT max of 1.9v - so I hope I can go further.
    My spec is:
    MSI K8N Neo Platinum
    BIOS 1.25Beta
    Athlon 64 3000 Newcastle
    1gig GeIL PC4000 Ram
    ATI Radeon 9800 XT
    I have shifted thru a lot of the threads on this forum but lack any kind of solid evidence or solutions. Also, I'm unsure as to what bios I should use. I have never had a temperature problem with my board so I'm looking for overclock stability only. I know it's a lot of trial and error, overclocking I mean, but any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks for reading.

    Thanks alot for your answer... If I do that, will I get the CPU with 2.3 GHz ?
    Or is there one more thing to do ??
    you said : Set AGP lock to 68 ... Is this in Bios under : "Adjust AGP Frequency" ?
    and you said : Increase HT speed setting to 230 ... Do you mean the part which is "Adjust CPU FSB Frequency" in the Bios ?
    Is there anything more to do except this three options , like changing the HT Frequency which is already by default at 4x ? Or changing the RAM Clock or something like that ?
    And if nothing more to do, is it necessary to change the MSI heatsink or install a Fan on the nVidia Chip instead of the MSI heatsink already installed ?
    I am sorry that I ask all that , because I am ever afraid to burn any piece of my PC , and this is why I am asking you because you made it already without problem specially that you have the same CPU as mine , but the different is the Grafik Card .
    Thanks !

  • JPanel BIG problem can you help me?

    Hi
    I can not show you my code now because i am at friend house right now but I will post it tomorrow.
    The problem is that when I try to add for example 3 Jbuttons to JApplet I can only see the 3 one(the last one which i added last). Do you know how can i fix the problem.
    I am using BorderLayout(2,2). If i don you any of these just default layout, than i have no problem. I can see two buttons. With the BorderLayout definded in the right under class name. I am getting BIG button and only one no 3 like i wanted. WHy i can not have 3 or more buttons with BorderLayout. Any idea??

    Hi,
    If your code does something like the following, you'll get one big button called Three. The other's are there, but they're behind the third button because they've all been added in the same place.
    JPanel p = new JPanel();
    p.setLayout(new BorderLayout(2,2));
    p.add(new Button("One"));
    p.add(new Button("Two"));
    p.add(new Button("Three"));
    BorderLayout uses constants to let you tell it whereabouts you want the component to go; these constants are things like BorderLayout.NORTH, BorderLayout.CENTER, etc.
    You need to do the following:
    JPanel p = new JPanel();
    p.setLayout(new BorderLayout(2,2));
    p.add(new Button("One"), BorderLayout.NORTH);
    p.add(new Button("Two"), BorderLayout.CENTER);
    p.add(new Button("Three"), BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    If you don't include the second parameter, it assumes you mean center - that's why all three buttons were going into the same place before.
    Hope this helps,
    Neil

    Nothing more to me said.

    Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
