Windows 7 on Lenovo 3000 V100

I had 100% success installing Windows 7 Professional 32bit on my 3 years old Lenovo 3000 V100, model 0763-46G (Core Duo T2400 1.83GHz, RAM upgraded to 2GB, HDD upgraded to 250GB).
Almost everything works out of the box in Windows 7 (USB, LAN, WiFi, Audio, Sleep, Battery Indicator, Fn Hotkeys, Bluetooth, SD Card Reader, DVD burner), except of the webcam, which requires a driver to be installed, touchpad works, but the driver is required for advanced features such as scrolling etc.

Latest Authentec fingerprint software can be downloaded from Lenovo: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/WIN7-BETA.html#autc

I just upgraded to windows 7 pro from vista. Everything seems to be working fine except the webcam. I installed the driver below:

The OS sees the integrated camera, but it doesn't work. The green light above the lcd comes on.
When I run the integrated camera application, it starts and I get a message that ffdshow is unavailable, then
when I click OK and try a screen capture, i get an error 80070003.
Any suggestions? Thanks

T7200 in Lenovo 3000 V100

Can I update a Levono 3000 V100 with a T2500 CPU to a T7200 CPU so I can run windows 7 64 bit OS? Anyone running 64 bit Windows on this type of machine?

Looking at THIS Lenovo web page, the answer is yes, since
the T7200 was an optional cpu for V100.
If you do the upgrade, let us know how it goes.

Problems with integrated camera of lenovo 3000 v100

A have a problem with the camera of my notebook, when I open the camera the image that it show me in the screen of the notebook it's a many colors, the light afects the image and it apears to be green an some metalic colors. I already tryed to instal the driver but it didn't work, can some one help me??
Thanks

Lines, it would be better to get a new battery. Search online with battery FRU number or call Lenovo to purchase from Lenovo.
I would suggest you buy a wireless usb adapter too which won't cost much more than the headache.
It's not the brand, batteries can be unpredictable, as any electronic product can be. I had been using my laptop for last 2 years and it has been doing perfectly fine as it was when i got it; except for the battery which was battery manufacturer's problem i guess.

Lenovo 3000 V100, problems with integrated Camera

Hello,
I bought this Lenove a couple of years ago ( autumm 2007 ).
equipped with Windows Vista, Location=Swedish.
Since then I have had problems with the camera, on and off.
The Camera was not working when I got home, I then got help from
the support desk. Then later on it stopped working, now it is only showing a black
box - either it could be after a Vista update or after a Lenovo update - I don't know.
Is there anyone who could help me out here.
Would like to use that camera, since it is integrated.
Thanks for your help, Ink

Hi Slape84,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that the integrated camera is not getting enabled even after trying to install the drivers for the camera. I suggest you to make sure the LEM (Lenovo Energy Management) is installed in the computer, if not please download it from the below link by selecting the exact Model Type of your G580 Laptop:
Drivers and software - Lenovo Ideapad Laptops
Then press Fn + Esc after installing the LEM in the computer this is the shortcut key to Turn on/off the integrated camera, now install the drivers for the integrated camera from the above link. But while installing while installing the driver right click on the downloaded file and select “Run as administrator” option to get it installed without any error.
Do post us back if the issue still persists.
Best Regards
Shiva Kumar

Install Disk for Windows XP/License information 3000 V100

My hard drive is having some problems. It is working but my paging file is not working. Once my ram is used up my system starts having resourse problems. I have ordered a replacement hard drive. I will try to reimage my hard drive but I am afraid it won't reimage properly and will have to reinstall XP professional. Where do I get the original operating system software? My original license information on the bottom of my Lenovo 3000 V100 have rubbed off. So where can I get the install disk or software for XP professional and also get all of my original license information?
Thanks
Greg

Lenovo 3000 and a secondary monitor

I have a Lenovo 3000 V100 Laptop. I want to use a secondary monitor/display. I see the display on both the primary and secondary monitors until windows finishes booting and then the secondary monitor goes blank. I try FN F7 to no avail. I am using windows XP. I assume this is a setup problem.
Please advise.
David

Not having your exact model, try this.
Go to your desktop display.
Position your pointer over part of the display without any icons, open windows, or tasks.
Right click.
A menu should appear, click on "Properties" or "Graphics Properties" whichever is on the menu. This should open another menu, one tab on which can be selected to allow you to display the same thing on the internal and an external monitor. The graphics adapter software on my Lenovo displays its menu this way. I'm not sure if going through the Control Panel selection will get you to the same point.

Premature death of battery--3000 V100

Ever since I got my Lenovo 3000 V100, a little over a year and a half ago, the computer has run too hot to actually put on my lap. Last week, much to my surprise, the battery (the one with extended time) refused to charge anymore. Of the half dozen notebooks I have owned in the past, none has ever had a battery problem. Thus, I checked for a recall notice. There wasn't one. One hundred and twenty-seven dollars later, I have a battery that works fine--and an amazingly cool (literally) computer sitting in my lap. Because the original battery ran hot from the get-go, I have to believe that either the battery or the computer was faulty to begin with. I'm a little nervous that another meltdown is just around the corner. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Donna, while searching the web for an issue with my Lenovo 3000 V100 laptop battery no longer charging, I found your post. I have noticed my V100 seems to run hot on the bottom before, but now--about 22 months into its life, my battery has died.
I have been resisting buying a new battery b/c I'm not sure that's the issue, but it sounds from your post it may be.
My symptoms: plugged in, the laptop works fine. I can pull the battery out (FRU P/N 92P1220) and it is currently completely cold. If I plug it back into the laptop, the "charging" indicator shows in the systray/power meter, but then 2 seconds later, it stops showing "charging" and the battery won't charge. It sat for 12 hours without charging. I assume since laptop works without battery when plugged in, that the problem isn't the power adapter, but I will check the voltage later with a multimeter as I read in another thread.
So, a question to the Lenovo pros: before I drop $150 on a new 6-cell battery, is there any way to be sure it's not a charger circuit gone bad inside the lapp, without needing a friend with a lenovo battery to verify? Or, of I do buy a new battery but that's not the problem and the new battery won't charge as well, can I return the battery for a refund, since I'll need to replace the laptop at that point? Thoughts?
Here are battery details from power meter:
Battery Name: LNV-92P1220
Unique ID: (sounds like something I shouldn't give out, if you need it let me know)
Chemistry: LION
Power State: On Line, Critical
Manufacturer: 06
Total Battery Power Remaining: 3% (it's been 3% now for two days).
If I leave it on battery and pull the plug on the adapter, it immediately goes into standby.
Thank you for your help!!

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 N200 (0769) | Windows 7 | What driver do I need?

Hello,
fist of all I'd like to mention that I am german and consequently am not familiar with all the technical terms in their english incarnation. I am going to describe what I mean the best way I can.
Here's what happened: I fell victim to a virus the other day, which forced me to format my harddrive an reinstall Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop, a Lenovo 3000 N200 (0769). All went smoothly exept for one thing: I can only choose between a solution of 800x600 and 1024x768. This is apperently due to my computer not beeing able to detect my graphics-device-card-thingy. I know it is in there however, because before i reinstalled Windows everthing was fine.
Assumably there is a driver missing. I tried to find out which one I it was by installing Everest and have it have a look at it, but a message popped up that Everest does not suport my particular laptop. And indeed there was no information it could give me concerning my graphic devices.
I wound greatly appreciate any help I could get.
Thanks,
Giles

please provide the device name or/and id. ( such as pci\ven_8086&dev_2929&subsys )
( just click the unknown devices from the device id tab )

LENOVO 3000 N200 LAPTOP graphics memory doesn't exceed 128mb on Windows XP

i have a lenovo 3000 n200 laptop model 0769-a58
it is equiped with mobile intel gm 965 chipset " X 3100 "
under windows vista the graphics memory reads up to 384 mb with shader v. 3.0
while when i install windows xp the graphics memory doesn't exceed 128 mb with shader v. 2.0
i already tried the latest graphics drivers from intel.com & the latest bios driver from lenovo.com
i even upgraded the RAM to 3 GB
i would be thankfull if anyone answers my problem

My guess is that it IS a Vista problem, since other devices
work, and you have tried your new devices on a different
system.
Some one else may have a different solution, but that is
where I would concentrate my troubleshooting.

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.

Is my laptop compatible with windows 7 ---my laptop's model is lenovo 3000 g400?
