Screen display problem with Lenovo 3000 N100

Hi,
My Lenovo laptop is having a problem with screen display. When i boot the laptop (keeping the screen at 90 degrees to the key board) , there is no display . However, when i tilt it down (lesser than 45 degrees) the display comes back to normal.
In addition, the mystery is that this doesnt happen if do the same after 5 minutes. No matter at what position i have the screen, it works perfect!
Is there a solution for this ? Can some one explain why the display is normal after warming up, but not in the begining (booting) stage.
Senthil.

Lose / pinched wires possibly.

I had to re-seat mine , and I still have to wiggle the upper right corner .
A common issue I here,although I just purchased a second used N100 and the screen has no issures.

Problem with Lenovo 3000 N200 0769 Laptop

Hi all,
I'm new here and hope someone can tell me whats wrong with my Lenovo 3000 N200 0769. Two days ago I got up in the morning and turned on my laptop, it started and shut off about 3 seconds later. It does it every time I try to start. I was able to get the windows intro, and then could not sign in as the keyboard didn't work. When I unplugged the power cord it immediately shut off. Is it a Battery malfunction thats caused this or a Virus? PLEASE I need some help here!! I googled it and on some other sites some said it was the Battery. Thanks very much.
Regards,
Michael

Also, with the battery out and AC unplugged, press and hold the power button several times. Then, re-attach AC and try to start it up. You could go into BIOS and reload BIOS defaults (that's an option) save and exit. Try to start up normally again.
If the system boots up only part way, hangs, or shuts off then I would tend to think the fan & heatsink could be clogged. See this article on cleaning.
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Value-line/Lenovo-3000-Fan-amp-Heat-cleaning-N100-exampl...
The N200 is very similar to the N100 in this regard.
If the fan and heatsink are clean, I would check the battery - these systems don't like to run with just the AC. Try to see if it will start up from just battery with no AC, or start with battery in and AC, and then unplug AC. If it shuts off, then the battery is defective and should be replaced. Most of these, especially N100 seem to do much better with a good battery.

Is there a way to fix ipod touch screen display problem with song list?

I was wondering if anybody has had this problem? I have an ipod touch 64gig 5th gen for probably about 2 years. I hardly use it because I have it as a back up ipod until primary one dies. This is the first time I came across this problem. Upon turning on device, the first artist/song list I choose displays correctly. Once I start choosing any other artist/song list afterwards, the display for the 1st artist/song list re-appears. If the song list is only a single song to 3-4 songs it will display correctly. Any other song list I choose that consist more than 5 songs, the first artist/song list re-appears on screen like the display is messed up.
For example: Upon turning on device, I choose Aaliyah with a list of 9 songs displaying.
Upon trying to select a different artist and song, for example I choose Nachtmar with a list of 20 songs.
The Aaliyah with the list of 9 songs re appears in place of the song list I am attempting to choose. The songs play and it works, but the display is incorrect. Why is it doing this? Does anybody have this problem? I have tried resetting and it has currently been updated. I have came across this problem just very recently a couple of days ago. I have had a couple of hard resets requiring to erase all data in the past and I don't want to go that way again because I have about 3,500 songs. I have never experience this problem before in the past. I just want it to display the current list of songs. It's inconvenient having to type in every song while playing in the car instead of being able to easily pick an individual song.

I have this problem too and it drives me crazy. When I view my ipod, I don't want to see a list of the first 8 songs in my ipod library. I just want to see the current song playing. It's like the ipod display goes into some type of "sleep" mode while your music plays,and the display defaults to show the first few songs in your ipod touch library, even though none of those songs are currently being played. I have to take the time to either flip the ipod over a couple of times in order for that list to disappear just to see the current song playing.
This is an example of what I see on my display after the current song begins playing. These are the first songs in my ipod library. To get rid of this view, I have to either shake the ipod or flip it over a couple of times and the current song is now displayed, allowing you to see the current song, also allowing you access to the arrows to either fast forward or playback/reverse. On the display, the songs are in a grid or table format (unable to show that here).

Display problems with lenovo T410 with Nvidia NVS 3100M

Hi,
I am having terrible video display quality in my new T410 with Nvidia 3100M graphics card. While playing SD and HD videos, I get very poor display quality, shadows and broken pixels . I have taken these screen shots to show the issue. I have tried playing HD videos from players and online streaming from Vimeo, but all seem to have same issue.
http://i.imgur.com/bCh95.jpg http://i.imgur.com/IUONm.jpg
Nvidia Control Panel http://i.imgur.com/D04wc.png
I can confirm that the quality of the videos is not flawed as I have played same videos on other non HD displays and they look much better. I also have up to date drivers for nvidia. I hope someone can help me improve the display quality of my laptop as it is a major inconvenience. The problem is mostly with video only as images are displayed much better.
Thanks!

What are you using to play the videos?
Edit: Didn't read propely: "I have tried playing HD videos from players and online streaming from Vimeo, but all seem to have same issue."
Have you tried VLC? Unlike alot of other players it takes care of the decoding itself. Other players might all use the same decoder.

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.

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.

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 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

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?

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..........

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.

Display Problem with my Mac Pro and LG Flatron Wide Monitor in Mountain Lion

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mac Pro has display problems with my LG Flatron display. The image is displayed with a black bar on the right and on the bottom. And the left side of the content is not visible. I tried every resolution available in the Display System Preferences, they are different in terms of how big the black bars are, and what part is not visible, but none of them are correct. I held down the option key to try to detect displays or switch to resolutions that are not normally available. When I restart the image is lined up with the display, but if the display ever goes to sleep or gets turned off, the image reverts to being off center, and the only way I can get it back is to restart... The interesting thing is that this monitor works fine with the same machine if I reboot using BootCamp into Windows 7. The Monitor also works fine, connecting the same connector to a Mac Mini, although that mac mini is running 10.6 and not Mountain Lion. I've reset the SMC and restarted countless times, I don't see any other levers to pull or things to try...

That card is for a PC it may not give you Startup and Option-Boot screens.
The 7950 "Mac Edition" card has a very distinctive look:
