Sound Problems 3000 N200 0687

Hi,
Have Lenovo 3000 N200 0687 dual booting Win XP Home and Ubuntu Linux.
Sound works fine with Ubuntu, but not with Win XP. 
Downloaded driver fron Lenovo site 65aw07ww.exe  unpacked it and can run installer, which initialises and
then presents message -   "Driver Installation Failed : Could not find MEDIA device for this driver"
Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong ?  Wouldn't worry, but need to use Windows Movie Maker for a friend
and this will not work without a sound device.
This machine also has an optical drive that ceased to exist (in both Win XP and Ubuntu) once drive was partitioned (from new), so am wondering about the wisdom of ever purchasing it. No one can fix this problem, am hoping that the sound issue is not another non fixable, but I may be doing something incorrectly.
Many Thanks in advance

Hi,
 Machine has been back to Lenovo service, came back with Vista installed. Don't really want Vista, but ... partitioned drive no more CD/DVD drive.Installed Ubuntu , no drive in eitherVista or Ubuntu. Doesn't show in  device manager in either system.
Lenovo sent a set of recovery CD's, they won't install, get 3 parts of the way through and give error message.
Did a fresh install  from a legal copy of Win Xp, CD/DVD drive worked fine, partitioned drive, no more CD/DVD drive not showing.
Installed Ubuntu , same result.Will look at bootable disks to install operating systems but   doesn't show in Device manager.
Have learned to live with this, plug in an external CD/DVD drive,  and apart from the previously mentioned job, (Win Movie player), would just as soon leave Windows alone, would like the sound to work for a little while. It does work in Ubuntu.
Nothing shows in Device manager as not working correctly in Sound and Video controllers.
Have not removed any drivers after fresh install of Win XP, no sound after install (understandable)  , so downloaded the driver from Lenovo site, this will not install.  Starts the installer and then can't find the MEDIA to install.  I am fortunate , I have 2 Desktop machines I built, and have all the drivers for all included hardware on disk not the cheap and nasty "Recovery" system. Would never buy another Lenovo I am afraid.
Many thanks
Take Care

    Hi, My recovery disc has been damaged. Now, how can I get another? Is there any download facility?

    Contact Lenovo phone support. They should be able to provide recovery discs for your N200.

  • Lenovo 3000 N200 Laptop (0687-75B) has no DVD-RW drive detected under SATA in Vista Ultimate.

    I use the Windows Vista Ultimate DVD (with Auto-activation) to install OS on the Lenovo 3000 N200 Laptop, however, no DVD-RW drive after successful OS installation. I have try both compatibility or AHCI mode but the same result occurs. (Both Windows updated and Lenovo update OK)
    When I install Windows Ultimate with choosing internet activation, DVD-RW drive can be found.
    Anybody has idea?

    Hi Duck3,
    Thankyou for the website. I actually went on this one: http://www.laptoprepair101.com/laptop/2006/02/22/troubleshoot-fix-laptop-video-problems/
    Check out the Laptop LCD screen is solid white color example. This is what happens to my screen and sometimes the 2nd example happens also. I'm also thinking its the cable because whenever it does happen, I find that adjusting the position of the lid (opening the lid and closing the lid) fixes the problem. Also, one example on the other website said to try touch around the borders of the screen and see what happens - Touching around the borders does nothing.
    I'm thinking cable.
    I will try replace the cable after I buy new hinges and let you know how I go.
    Thanks,

  • 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 Type: 0769 game graphics problem

    Hi,
    I have a Lenovo 3000 n200 Type 0769 laptop which served me well at university with my 3D modelling in SolidWorks for my projects. However, when I tried to run games on it, the games always crash, even on a very low setting graphics setting which is extremely frustrating. The only game I have managed to run successfully with no problems is Football Manager (providing I dont use the 3d game play as when I do, like all other games I have tried, it crashes.). What do I need to upgrade to successfully run games on my laptop and also, (if it is only a new graphics card that is required) where can I find out which cards are compatible with my laptop?
    Running games is the only problem I am finding with the laptop and any help anyone can give me will be very much appreciated as I see a few other people who have posted in the forum have had the same problem with no luck with help on here.
    Cheers.
    - Pete
    PS. The games I have tried running with no success include; The Sims 2, Lord Of The Rings - Battle For Middle Earth 1 & 2, Command & Conquer Generals, Command & Conquer 3 and Warhammer Dawn Of War

    I don't know about the desktops, but Lenovo laptops are the worst I have ever used. I have had mine nearly a year and the amount of problems I have had with it is rediculous, along with this problem, the hard drive has broken and needed to be replaced, the finger print scanner is broken and does not recognise the only finger prints that have been registered on the laptop, and now it has broken again and i cannot get passed the rescue and recovery screen. NO ONE should buy this laptop or any lenovo laptops like it, they are unbelievably unreliable!

  • Lenovo 3000 N200 graphic card memory problem

    Hello,
    Ive recently bought a new Lenovo 3000 N200, which has a onboard graphic card Intel X3100 with 256MB (shareable) memory.
    The problem is, it shows, in the Intel media graphic accelerator driver (under information) it has only 128MB.
    This is a copy-paste of the info, the graphic driver shows me:
    DirectX* Version:        9.0
    Physical Memory:        2038 MB
    Minimum Graphics Memory:    8 MB
    Maximum Graphics Memory:    128 MB
    Graphics Memory in Use:    10 MB
    So i would like to know, how can i extend this shareable memory (tried in BIOS, but theres nothing there).
    Thanks in advance.

    Okay, some of you people are using the Intel GMA 950 integrated graphics rather than the Intel X3100 graphics chipset. The GMA 950 is supposedly to have the maximum shared v ram of 224 mb, but this is only accessable only when the ram is paired and also depends on the motherboard chipsetyou are using. This is also true for the Intel x3100 graphics chipset. However, the catch is that the shared vram is not the bottleneck, you can still play WoW if youwith all the graphics setting to low.

  • 3000 n200 Optical Drive problems

    Hi all.
    I have a Lenovo 3000 N200  MT0687, that has NEVER had a properly working optical drive.
    Purchased this machine, was on display, and they had lost the box, and no one knew the password on it, so formatted and installec Win XP. The optical drive will install Win XP and other operating systems, but once installed
    will NOT look at any other Discs. Data, DVD's,  music CD's Will not see a blank cd/dvd so can't write to cd.
    Have tried Ubuntu 8.04 with exactly the same result.
    Everything else works fine on both WinXP and Linux. Optical Drive doesn't show in either.
    I have been in touch with the Lenovo service centre on a number of occasions, and have had different answers
    each time,  everything from updating the bios, to installing drivers. Nothing worked. Have been told my problem,  "original
    image" not still on it. See below re re-installing said image with recovery cd's.
    Lenovo sent me a new optical drive, a different make to the original, no change, still no
    drive showing anywhere on XP. (Or ubuntu 8.04, I appreciate there is no support for Linux)
    Lenovo even sent me a set of recovery discs(3), which I installed (after formatting, several times with bios set to both AHCI and Compatability) using both the internal and an external USB connected optical drive. Same result, system boots to "Welcome to Vista etc, then shutting down logging off, only to re-boot to the same place ad infinitum. In short  "recovery discs" did not recover. Get error message randomly when this happens "Side Bar error The application failed to initialize properly
    (0xc0000189) " Click OK to terminate, but is too fast, and terminates itself.
    Machine was sent to Selectron for checkout, told "Nothing wrong with it", but the Optical Drive working at last.
    Partitioned Vista, (Shrunk Partition to 45gig) installed another operating system on new partition, can boot into both  systems
    and recovery, working fine, but now no Optical Drive again.
    Rang Lenovo again, informed them, and queried possibilty of buying a Win XP recovery disc, told drive will only work with
    Vista, so waste of funds to get a Win XP recovery disc that may or may not work properly.
    Am I missing an obscure driver, or will the drive only perform all it's functions running Vista
    (which the recovery discs will not install properly)?. If this is the case shouldn't it (the fact that it needs Vista)
    be mentioned at point of sale. Does this breach the Anti trust laws? I am afraid I am getting very fed up, would be nice not to have to carry around an external optical drive, that needs a power supply,  so if anyone has any ideas I would be extremely appreciative, would even consider naming y first born after them. Will post my problem on the Ubuntu lists again, hoping for resolution. Seems that it's a retty basic expectation that  CD drives just work. This should be a machine that can have software installed on it. Have 2 towers (1 dual boot) that have had a few optical drives changed with never any problems.
    Thanks in advance. Any ideas very much appreciated.

    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

  • Sound not working on 3000 n200 windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

    Hi
    MY Sound is not working on 3000 n200, I have  windows 7 ultimate 64 bit installed newly, and have all drivers downloaded.
    Strange thing is the sound works for windows and for soundcard test applications, yet wont work for media player, vlc, or anything on the internet like youtube or music sites.
    Getting realy annoying at this stage as Ive tried many things, all to no avail.
    It doesnt specify what soundcard, it just said: " High definition audio"
    Any help Please.  Maybe its another driver I need for windows 7 compatibility.
    Any additional details you require, I will suply ASAP 
    Thanks
    Darran

    I encountered a similar issue on my 3000 Y410 laptop that I just upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit.  I ended up downloading the drivers from the RealTek site directly.  Go to the RealTek downloads page (RealTek Downloads) and click on the "High Definition Audio Codecs (Software)" link.  You'll get to (after a page with a checkbox for an agreement) page for "Software: Drivers and Utilities" --- download the "Vista, Windows7 Driver(32/64 bits) Driver only (Executable file)" and run that, then try your sound again (may require a reboot).
    Hope this helps...

  • Start problem whit 3000 N200 Cel

    A year ago I bouth a 3000 N200 for my daugther.
    It has consistenly showed a very specific error - in the start up it goes directly to the Recovery screen... but nothing happens for houers.
    Each time i have made a complete reinstall, and the computer has been running for a period until the same error occurs again.
    After it happened numerous times I began keeping an eye on what lead up to the error - and finally discoverd its happens each time the battery has discharged completely! As long as theres a little power left on the battery its all fine - but after discharge i cannot boot up the machine correctly... it seems to lock on the Recovery splash screen.
    Could soemone please help?!

    Problem Solved.
    The flashing LED is not listed in the manual but it means that the Laptop doesn't like the charger (they talk to each other via the center pin).  I have tried another charger and it functions perfectly so it was just a cheap charger of eBay at fault.
    Oh and with the new charger it starts without a battery.
    Hopefully one day this info will help someone else.
    Thanks All

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Can't turn on my Lenovo 3000 N200

    Hello, I've got a problem with my Lenovo 3000 N200 laptop.
    Yesterday I used it without it's power supply, so it discharged. I let it charge, but none of the indicating power lights are lit up even though the power supply is good. It has now ''charged'' all night, but nothing has changed, no power lights and I can't turn it on. I'm confused, it's the first time when something like this happens, I haven't dropped it or anything it just completely discharged..
    I already tried 2 times this trick when you remove the battery, push the power button for about 30 seconds and then put battery back in, but it didn't work.. :/
    Any ideas or it's dead?

    could be power cord or mainboard issue due to "no power lights"
    i believe you don't have valid warranty but is it possible to contact local support center? you'll need probably some more help to diagnose the problem.

  • Lenovo 3000 N200 0769 ERG

    I need urgent help please, I just bought a Lenovo 3000 N200 0769 ERG and we changed Microsoft Vista with
    XP but we have a problem with the drivers. The Lenovo doesn't recognise them for example: Audio driver, Video VGA driver,
    and all the drivers needed to run XP smoothly. Maybe we are installing the wrong drivers? Is there something that we
    have to change in the BIOS in order to install the drivers ? If anyone knows where we can download the correct drivers
    please tell me. Anything and everything will be appreciated.
