Lenovo laptop is not able
Hi,
Follow these steps below.
1. Turn the computer on.
2. Keep tapping F12 after pressing the power button.
3. Advance Boot Menu will come up.
4. Using the arrow keys, select HDD as the device to boot from.
5. Press Enter.
6. If the computer boots up normally, we fixed the issue.
If not, it means that the computer no longer detects the HDD. It needs to be reseated and after reseating the HDD it should boot up normally. If still the computer cannot boot, then, replace the HDD as it already has gone bad.

I have lenovo laptop .the
In this case it is confirmed that the LCD panel has failed and the best option is to replace. Now the main issue is the cost of the new LCD panel . This must be found out from the nearest Lenova service center and you can decide.
Sometimes it is possible that the cost of a new panel may exceed and you can try and see if a panel can be replaced from a scrapped set- where a mother board has failed.
I just want to use
Hi
r_lakshmiraj,
I see that you want to use your One Ky Recovery on your Y430 machine.
- First have your Laptop turned OFF
- Once turned OFF press and hold down the One Key Recovery Button beside the power button, it should have an arrow icon arching to the left and hold it down for 5 seconds the Laptop should turn on.
- You will see on the screen Windows is Loading Files, then Lenovo One Key Rescue system with a wallpaper of leaves in the background.
- Once you see the screen it will give you options like One key anti virus, One Key Recovery and so on.
- Click on One Key Recovery, then the next page click on the first option that says restore to initial backup or Restore back to factory defaults.
- This will then give you a screen informing you that if you have data on the Hard drive that this will result to data loss once started, click on yes or next if you are decided to proceed, then click on start to begin the One Key recovery process.
Once everything is done you will get a screen informing you that it is done click on DONE then Reboot this will restart your computer like when you had it the very first time.
I hope that this will be of help regarding your concern.
Have a nice day.

Welcome to Fixya
Sound like you are having LCD problem already. If you experience the flickering from the time you turn on the computer where you see the lenovo opening screen then this is an LCD problem alerady. It is either the LCD connector going to the motherboard is loose or the LCD has gone bad. You may contact our Lenovo tech support at 1-877-453-6686 option 2 for repair.

Hi,
That's easy. When you insert an audio cd launch your Media Player and click on RIP and a downline menu will pop up you can select Rip CD automatically when inserted or more options to customize your cd ripping mode. After ripping the cd you can now add the songs to your library.

Running Vista on Lenovo Y430. Have played game
Try launching the One Key Recovery program.
1. Back up all files that you wish to keep from the C: drive
2. Turn off the computer (no flashing lights).
3. Press the Lenovo Care Button (small button with upside down arrow or word NOVO written on it).
4. Select System Recovery (very much different from the above mentioned System Restore).
5. Select to restore to factory default settings / initial settings.
Not coming on. is it the battery or ac adapter
I would say take it into a nearby radio shack not only will they be able to diagnose which but can easily order or may even have exactly what you need in stock be sure to call before heading in
hope this helps
