Ram in my 3000 c200

Hi
Probably stupidest question of the day how much RAM can I put in my 3000 C200 some placesm say 2GB some 4GB.
thanks

Cazray,
I have got 3GB. My C200 came with 1GB, I could only buy a 2GB stick from my computer store, so I installed it. Works fine. 4GB would probably suffice.
My C200 has the Celeron Chip, so the chip is slower than the ram. If I could make the Celeron chip any better, then that would be great.

Does the laptop have a Flash Card Reader(for SD cards). I believe the "Base system devices" are flash controllers. as for the rest i can help once you tell me the model number besides 3000 c200 so i can check the drivers page.
and what model is it, so i can find the drivers.

Processor ugrade on 3000 C200

hi
Im wondering if its possible to upgrade the processor in a 3000 C200 (8922-A43) ?
If it is, what kind of processor would give me the best performance? its currently a celeron M 1.73 ghz with 1gb of ram and a 80gb hard drive.
And is there any high capacity batteries for this laptop?

Yea, this 63af08us.exe Version 3.12, 7th Release BIOS upgrade thing is quite the drag!
The BIOS upgrade literally doesn't work...although you wouldn't know it from watching the BIOS Update Utility erase and re-write the new 18 blocks.
The BIOS Update Utility gives every indication of working correctly, right down to creating and dropping a bios.bak file in the C:\Drivers\WIN\FLASH\63af08us folder.
The Utility even shuts the notebook down like it is suppose to.
Then you enter the BIOS [via F1], to eyeball the version and discover it is still 63ET62W. I tried 3 times to upgrade from 63ET62W (04/30/07) to 61ET37WW (06/28/2007) tonight on my LENOVO 3000 C200, 8922-2AU and have given up.
Something like this should just work. This isn't brain surgery. Anybody have a clue?

Lenovo 3000 C200 turns on but fails to start

Greetings all!
I have a problem with my Lenovo 3000 C200 and I'm hoping someone can help. Please be patient with me as I'm not as good with computers as I am with larger equipment. The problem goes like this:
I bought the laptop used about a year ago, running Windows Vista Business. It has worked without any problems until a recent work related trip to California 3 weeks ago where a balloon popped up telling me Windows Live OneCare was expiring and I needed to uninstall it and replace it with a different antivirus software. I didn't think much about it at the time and was going to install the newest version of Norton when I got home and back to work but before I could, I started getting the following error messages popping up on the screen during startup and intermittently while the computer was running
SYNTPENH.EXE (code 0cx0000142)
RTHDVCPL.EXE
MSASCUI.EXE
PHOTOSCREENSAVER.SCR
SHELLEXECUTEEXFAILED (code 3221225794)
one of the guys I work with suggested I uninstall Windows Live OneCare and restart the computer but when I tried I noticed the "change/remove programs" prompt was missing. Also, I was unable to open Word documents, Excel files, download programs from the internet, etc.
another coworker suggested it might be a virus or Trojan and attempted to connect his laptop to mine via a Belkin Easy Transfer Cable, thinking he would scan my hard drive remotely with the antivirus software on his computer and remove anything harmful. As soon as the cable was connected, it flashed an application error message on the screen of my Lenovo (I didn't see exactly what it said) and about 30 seconds later my screen went black.
Now, when I press the power button, the fan comes on, it starts to make noise, the CD drive will start to spool up (if there's a disc in it) but stops before actually doing anything. Doesn't seem to matter if it's plugged in or running on battery, none of the F keys seem to do anything during this time and the screen never comes on. I've tried running the boot disc that came with it but no luck there either.
I don't use this computer for much other than checking email when away from home, charging my phone and ipod and watching movies or doing paperwork on the plane. Unfortunately, I'm away from home a lot so it's pretty inconvenient to be without it!
If anyone has a suggestion I'd really appreciate the help! If you've already covered this someplace else, please forgive the repost. And sorry for the book, just not sure what info might be helpful.
thanks in advance!
Roger

Ok, here's the results:
Tried plugged in but with battery out - no change
Unplugged, removed battery, held power button for 30 seconds, reinstalled battery, replugged - no change
Removed memory modules and reinstalled in original positions - no change
Removed modules and tried one at a time in different positions - this did change things! One module had no change in either location, the other allowed the computer to start and run (back to the point of the original problems with the error messages and unable to open word docs, etc) in both locations. Installing the second (bad?) module in addition to the "good" module caused the computer to not start again, removed it and computer restarts fine.
So I'm guessing I need to replace the one apparently defective memory module and see if that takes care of the rest of the problems? Or is there something else I need to do to address the error messages and functionality issues?
And by the way, thanks for all the help!

Power Adapter 3000 c200

Hi,
Grandson in a bit of a pickle (needs this for school) so he turned to me and I don't have an answer, hopefully one of you fine folks can help
He has a Lenovo 3000 c200 and the power adapter has broken and needs to be replaced.
Someone has offered to lend him their adapter from a Lenovo Thinkpad X60
I looked up the adapter on the Lenovo site and it appears to indicate that the adapter is the same for both models and therefore he can use the X60 one on the C200....
Can someone verify of that is correct?
Many thanks in advance
Al
Solved!
Go to Solution.

both of them has same specifications such as 20v, 4,5a, 90 watt, input : 100-240v ~ 1.5a 50/60 hz.
so, he can use it. ( still to make sure, check specifications by yourself, too )

Screen problem 3000 c200

Hello,
My 3000 c200 Lenovo screen turned to half working normally and the other half is not working normally.
this is a screenshot
Please get me back with any suggestions.

Hi fadi_nzr,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to know that the display is not working as expected in your c200 All-In-One computer, below are the steps to diagnose the issue.
To perform “Flee Power” remove the power cable and any other peripheral device connected to the computer. Hold the power button for 10 seconds and then connect back the cable and check, if the issue is same.
Check in BIOS, to get into BIOS restart the computer and then press Fn+F1 if the issue persists, then the issue is with hardware.
I would Strongly Suggest Calling Technical Support for Assistance this is the only available option to get this query resolved.
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.
Do post us back for further queries.
Best Regards
Shiva Kumar

16gb of ram on hd 3000 gpu

I noticed the Intel HD 3000 GPU scales to 512mb of vram when 8gb is being used, does it scale higher when 16gbs are installed via owc? Is the 16gb of ram going to help the mac mini server encode video faster, or should 8gb be fine? I intend to go all out with a Promise R6 (or another high end thunderbolt drive) and I am updating from a late 2009 mac mini with 8gbs of ram in order to get sata 3, a 7200rpm drive, and thunderport options.

Watch this video, the RAM is in there pretty tight. You should use both your thumbs to get some leverage, if you still can't get them out take the machine into an Apple Store or AASP either will be happy to help.

I need a replacement keyboard for a Lenovo 3000 C200 Model# 8922-2FU

My wife dumped a glass of water on her laptop and I am having a really hard time finding a replacement keyboard.
Why do wives love to break the machines?
Thanks

IBM indicates your part numbers could be this: 39T7353 or this: 39T7417 if you have a laptop designed for English in the USA.
Try these people: http://www.acsparts.com/contact_us.asp Do check your machine first (remove the keyboard & look at its exact part number). They can order things they don't have in stock from the warehouse. I bought a replacement keyboard for my 3000 N200 from them a few months ago, it was an exact replacement.

Yur videoram increases dinamically when some game uses it.
965Express i low-end videocard and it is not able to bear modern games at all, soyou'd not worry about videoram amount - it will not helpgaining better game performance.

3000 C200 Switch display when LCD is broken - SOLVED

I want to install windows but it is automatically diskplaying on the built-in screen (which is broken). What keystrokes do I press in BIOS? (I've tried F9 -> Enter -> F10 -> enter to no success).
The ubuntu install disk works but I don't want to use Linux on this machine.
SOLVED: Press power and wait 3-5 seconds -> press F1 -> right -> down -> enter -> down -> enter -> F10 -> enter.

Okay, let us move on. Disconnect the external monitor, remove battery from the laptop, unplug laptop cable for a few minutes, put everything back on and press the following combination in the this exact order: Fn+F3+Caps. If that does not help either, try to perform steps from this thread: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Essential/G555-help-enable-external-display-from-BIOS/t...

My 3000 c200 8922 laptop's screen goes black with white showing through at boot-up.

When ever my computer starts up, all that shows is a black screen and some a faint white color. It was kind of acting up a last week or so. When I was using it, the screen went white in stripes for a few seconds. I think I might caused it some major harm while surfing the net. Any ideas? I have no knowledge as this computer is kind of old.

could be possible graphic card or ram issue.
can you check if the issue persists on external display?
also, try to remove/re-seat or swap the ram sticks.

My 3000 C200 won't display anything on start up for over an hour

I have had this unit for three years and when it is turned on It displays a message ' optimising image' but I still can't see anything for at least an hour. This occurred after an update was installed, have tried going back to restore points previous to the update but still no joy , I'm really not " tech savvy " so simple answers will really help.
It was suggested to take the machine back to factory settings , and as I have now got all documents/pictures and important info on an external hard drive so this is an option , but I also don't know how to do this either ....
Please any help to a technofobe would be appreciated

hi Crouch1969,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Resseting the system to its Factory default using the OKR feature.
While the system is OFF
Turn ON the system then start tapping F2
You should be booted to a Recovery Screen Proceed by selecting a factory image.
(Dataloss is part of the recovery so make sure Everything is backed up)
